"And then, what happened?"
Jiang Xixi asked eagerly.
"Later," Xun'er thought for a long time with wide eyes, "and then I ran forward with the kite, and as I ran, I noticed that it was suddenly gone, and I vaguely saw a figure standing in front of me, and then, and then I don't remember."
He tugged at Jiang Xixi's sleeve, "Sister, Xun'er is hungry and wants to eat fragrant egg custard." ” Jiang Xixi couldn't bear to ask him again, she asked someone to bring Xun'er's food, until he was full of food and drink, patted his round little belly with satisfaction, and then touched the round bun on the top of his head, and asked softly: "Xun'er, do you want to go to a place with your sister?"
” He came to the door with a plate of cherries in his right ear and distributed them to the old men and women who were sitting under the trees chattering.
"This kid is painful, knowing that we toothless people can't chew, so we specially picked some big and glutinous ones to send them."
"When will the embroidery village open, I will also go to embroider a few fans for my daughter-in-law."
The right ear waited for these old people to eat the fruit and spit out the seeds, and laughed with a smile on his face, "There are too many things that need to be added to the Zhuangzi, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to entertain you, our girl said, when the time comes, I will definitely give the most suitable price to the neighbors, but," he changed his voice and asked with a look of indifference, "Isn't it appropriate to open during this time, yesterday we went all the way into the city, and saw several funerals in the city, and I heard that this Xin'an City seems to be not very peaceful recently, But we're new to the city, and it's hard to come and ask......"
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and then a sigh was heard, "It's also the same reason, it's a little out of place to open now, after all, there is a lot of trouble in the city."
Uncle Chen said as he motioned for his right ear to be closer to him.
The right ear hurriedly took two steps forward, squatted on Uncle Chen's lap, and whispered, "Could it be the plague?"
” Uncle Chen's wrinkled old face was a little closer to him, but his voice became quieter and quieter, as if he was afraid of being heard by someone, "It's a plague but it's not like it, it's not so aggressive, so far, more than a dozen have died, I am the one who escaped from the epidemic, at that time the person was falling one by one, every family had the pain of zombies, there was crying in the room, every household was closed, where did you dare to sit here and chatter like now."
The second is that this disease is only transmitted to children, you see, there is not a single adult who died, all children under the age of ten, you say it is strange. ” "And what are their symptoms?"
"It is said that there are no signs, but I can't wake up when I fall asleep, and then my hands and feet are cold, hey, so it is impossible to prevent it, Cheng County Ling has been anxious about this matter, I heard that I went to the capital to ask for a doctor, and I don't know what kind of wonderful hand Mr. can come."
The right ear wanted to ask a few more words, but Jiang Xixi's figure suddenly came from a distance, and she was still holding a five or six-year-old child in her hand, the child had a pair of black and white eyes, which were full of intelligence, wasn't he Xun'er who let him carry all the way yesterday.
Seeing Jiang Xixi's menacing appearance in the right ear, he knew that she was not good, so he retreated and wanted to return to the courtyard, but before he was allowed to take a few more steps, Jiang Xixi had already walked quickly to him, grabbed his collar and asked Xun'er, "Is he the person you met yesterday?"
” Xun'er didn't answer, he stared at his right ear fixedly for a long time like a goose, and then suddenly covered his mouth, and a childish laugh flowed out of his fingers, "It's funny, brother, why do you have one more eye than others." ” The people around him were stunned when they heard this, and then all their eyes focused on the right ear, which was like a torch, shining on his whole body and shining on his back.
Fortunately, the firefighter arrived in time, Yan Niang walked out of the courtyard at some point, she took a handkerchief, gently wiped it on the forehead of her right ear, and reproached her mouth, "You, you can smear the soot everywhere when you cook."
After speaking, she looked at Xun'er with a smile, "Now, is the eye on my brother's forehead still there?"
” Xun'er rubbed his eyes, and carefully stared at the face of his right ear for a while, and then, he broke free of Jiang Xixi's hand, and walked to Yan Niang's side instead, looking at her smile with admiration, "Sister, do you know how to spell?"
Then you wiped your eyes off like this?
” The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and even more, he pointed a little dirt on the ground with his finger and put it on his eyebrows, and said loudly to Xun'er, "Xiao Xun'er, do you think I also have an extra eye?"
” Xun'er knew that they were joking with themselves, but he was not angry, he glanced at Yan Niang thoughtfully, and then ran towards the plate of cherries, but was coldly dragged back to his side by Jiang Xixi, "Xun'er, you haven't answered your sister's question yet, are they the people you met before you fell asleep yesterday?"
Did they kidnap you?
” As soon as these words came out, the group of old men and old ladies who were still laughing just now stopped moving, they look at me, I look at you, and they didn't know how to react to Jiang Xixi's words for a while.
After a long while, Xun'er shook her head gently, "It's not them." ” Hearing these four words, the back muscles in her right ear, which had been tense for a long time, finally softened, but Yan Niang was still as usual, looking like she didn't care about herself, but there was a little more scrutiny in her eyes when she looked at Xun'er.
Jiang Xixi frowned and squatted down unwillingly, "Xun'er, do you think about it again?"
It's really not them?
Or were you delirious at the time and couldn't remember?
” "No, the man was all black, with his back on his back, like a crooked bow."
"But ......"
Jiang Xixi's words were suddenly interrupted, because a slender cry suddenly came from outside the alley, the voice was broken for a while, trembled a few times, and continued coldly, from far to near, high and low, making people feel creepy and flustered.
Everyone unconsciously walked in the direction of the voice, and as soon as they came to the front of the mansion, they saw a white figure staggering from the river, it was a young woman, she was crying and walking all the way, her body was as weak as a fluttering willow, as if she was about to die with the wind if she was not careful.
In her arms, she hugged a small body tightly, it was a little girl, the same age as Xun'er, but her face was pale, her body was stiff, and she looked like she had been dead for a long time.
