Chapter 57: Jing Yuan and the Stubborn Child
Chapter 57 Jingyuan and the stubborn child
There was nothing Jingyuan could do. He just opened a bottle of mineral water, took a clean towel, and washed the mud and dried blood on Xiao Yun'er's hands.
I wonder if those wounds will have any impact on her. Judging from the examples he has seen, mutants should have the ability to heal themselves.
For example, the mutated python and the deformed goldfish monster at the gas station on Xiuhu Avenue did not show obvious signs of decay on the outside, but most of the internal functions of the body were replaced by mold. Including himself, he currently formed a kind of mold with the mold.
Symbiotic relationship.
He feels that he is more like a vampire in Western legends than a zombie.
No warmth, pale skin, handsome appearance, likes to eat fresh flesh and blood, many of the criteria are correct.
Xiao Yun'er is obviously a more advanced mutant than him, so he shouldn't need to worry too much.
What I'm saying here is that she doesn't need to worry about her body, but she seems to have suffered a lot of psychological trauma.
It was obvious that the breaking of the crystal ball was a big blow to her. She loved that shiny toy very much, but due to her negligence, the ball was broken.
It's even possible that she threw the ball to the ground on her own initiative because she didn't know how fragile the crystal ball was.
Maybe she occasionally became curious and dropped the ball on the ground, thinking it would bounce like a rubber ball. Or maybe she was obsessed with playing yo-yo and thought the crystal ball would be returned to her if she threw it.
After all, it was her first time seeing a small toy made of glass, and she didn't know what fragile items were.
If this is really the case, she will definitely feel strong self-blame and regret.
In the long run, this is not a bad thing. At least it makes her understand that beautiful things need to be carefully protected, and let her know that there is a price to pay for certain actions.
This helps to restrain her and establish her sense of boundaries to prevent her from becoming a willful giant baby on a psychological level.
If Jingyuan really easily restored the crystal ball, or took out a new crystal ball, it would not be a good thing. It would make her unaware of the cost of doing something wrong. With the fighting power she showed,
If she turns into a willful naughty child, the consequences will be very serious.
To put it in one sentence, children should not be spoiled too much, as they will be easily spoiled.
If she would do whatever she wanted, Jingyuan would definitely stay away from her, because a single thought could kill her.
For example, she might have a sudden idea and take apart Jingyuan as a "toy". She doesn't realize the consequences of doing such a thing, but when she thinks about it, she will do it.
Of course, these are all theories.
The actual situation was that the child seemed to be extremely sad. She was holding the base of the crystal ball and lowering her head. Jingyuan seemed to see her tears falling down.
Feeling pitiful and helpless, Jingyuan touched her head and handed the little flower in front of her, trying to comfort her.
But she just raised her head and glanced at the little flower, then went back to guarding the base of the crystal ball.
The snowman with a severed head stuck to the base really has a desolate mood in it.
Jingyuan didn't know what to do to make her feel better. Even if she knew that the crystal ball could not be restored, she would still hold on to the base. Her character was surprisingly stubborn.
Jingyuan can't do anything to her, maybe only time can heal her wounded heart.
He picked up the severed snowman's head on the table and suddenly had an idea.
Although he couldn't restore the crystal ball, he could do his best to repair the base.
This snowman's head is broken. Can't you just put some glue on it?
So he went into the supermarket, rummaged through the shelves, and found expired strong glue. He applied the glue to the crack in the snowman's head, and then carefully pressed it onto the snowman's body.
I waited quietly for the glue to dry. Although it had expired, the stickiness of the glue had not completely faded. I successfully glued the snowman's head on. It just didn't look as good as the original one. There was an obvious white mark on the neck, but at least the head was still there.
It won't fall off.
There were some stains on the base. He found toilet paper and wiped off the dirt, as well as the remaining glass. They were all broken anyway, so it was better to clean them thoroughly. He took tweezers and picked up all the glass shards.
come out.
Through his efforts, the crystal ball turned into a base like a decoration.
During the whole process, Xiao Yuner held the base in her arms and watched it become tidy little by little.
Although there is no sparkling snow powder that floats with the water when it shakes, and there is no glass cover that feels round, the snowman and the red house have indeed changed back.
Jingyuan felt that he had done a good job in cleaning. Xiao Yun'er finally let go of the base and placed it on the table in front of him.
She watched silently and reached out to touch the snowman's head. The head did not fall down due to her touch.
The vines hanging behind her swayed slightly, and the gloomy atmosphere finally dissipated.
Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and placed the little flower in front of her again. This time she did not refuse, but carefully held the soil and transplanted the soil and flower onto the base of the crystal ball.
The pale yellow stamens were reflected in the dark eyes, the white petals swayed in the wind, and a lock of hair beside her ear fluttered gently, and she suddenly hugged Jingyuan's right hand and pressed it tightly against her.
Jingyuan rubbed her little head, thinking that this feeling of being relied on was not unpleasant at all.
An idea suddenly flashed through my mind. If it were now, I might be able to take her away from Shunxiang Supermarket.
He led Xiao Yun'er to stand up and walk out.
Arriving under the eaves of the supermarket, Xiao Yun'er hesitated, but this time she didn't run away so quickly.
Jingyuan tried to pull her out, but she looked back and actually followed him out.
However, when she reached the fifteenth step, she still stopped.
She let go of Jingyuan's hand and shook her head at Jingyuan. She just learned this action today, which means "no" or "no".
She returned to the ruins, sat alone on the chair, and looked at the base of the crystal ball.
Why doesn't she want to leave?
Jingyuan looked up at the signboard of Shunxiang Supermarket, thought of the cracked crystal ball, and suddenly understood.
This ruined supermarket is also a "cracked crystal ball" to her, but in her heart, the supermarket is much heavier than the crystal ball.
What trapped her was not the supermarket, but her memories, her fragmented emotions and memories.
When she was a human, before the disaster broke out, she spent many unforgettable times here with her parents.
After she finished school, her father would run to the snack shelf to get her favorite candies. After she finished her homework, her mother would hold her in her arms and sit with her at the counter to watch TV.
Those are the two people who love her most in the world, and they are also the two people she loves most. She may have forgotten many, many things, but she has not forgotten to wait here for her parents to come back and take her home.
At this moment, Jingyuan finally understood one thing, she would not leave with him.
Even if she is made to understand that her parents will never come back, she will not leave because she is such a stubborn child. She is so stubborn that she will never look back on something she believes in.
