Master Xiao Xiao goes straight, and it goes straight; Master Xiao Xiao turns, and it turns.
…
Xiao Xiao stopped behind a big tree.
He turned around.
"Pipa ghost."
He arched his eyebrows.
"Any thing else?"
…
The Pipa Ghost is three steps away from Mr. Xiao Xiao.
It is holding a pipa.
There was some hesitation on his face.
His fingers unconsciously played with the strings of the pipa.
Even if he just fiddles with it at will, the syllables that come out should be broken and tuneless. I wonder if Pipa Ghost is born with a strong sense of sound, or there are other reasons...
What reached Xiao Xiao's ears was an exceptionally clear and graceful melody.
…
"sit."
Xiao Xiao sat down on the armchair under the tree.
The sunlight was filtered through the lush canopy of trees.
Casting out dots of light and shadow.
…
Pipa Ghost blinked.
It walked slowly over.
Sit down next to Mr. Xiao Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao put his hands on both sides, leaned back and raised his head.
A ray of sunlight fell into his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Gradually the outline of the leaves above became clearer.
…
"...Drink~"
The long silence made Pipa Ghost a little uneasy.
It finally made some tentative sounds.
…
Xiao Xiao tilted his head.
"Say whatever comes to mind."
"It doesn't matter."
"If there's anything I don't know, I'll ask you if it's not clear."
"You can just say it."
"You can't just say let's change the topic."
Xiao Xiao has a smile on his face.
"Did we break up because we haven't seen each other for a long time?"
…
Pipa Ghost shook his head subconsciously.
Looking at Master Xiao Xiao's smiling face in the light and shadow, Pipa Ghost slowly opened his mouth.
how come?
It and Mr. Xiao Xiao are... friends.
…
The Pipa ghost lowered his eyes.
After a few crisp pipa sounds, it made up its mind.
actually……
It was also because of meeting Mr. Xiao Xiao that it suddenly had the idea of asking for help.
It wants to ask Master Xiao Xiao...
What can it do... help that kid-
Even if the children back then have grown up.
It is still used to calling each other children.
Besides, age really matters...
Men here are children.
…
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
Then a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
"Pipa Ghost likes him very much."
…
Pipa's ghostly head is slightly bent.
like……
That's okay.
It prefers Master Xiao Xiao.
….
Um……
Xiao Xiao had a sense of déjà vu that he clearly wanted to eat melon but ended up eating it himself.
He laughed.
"Thanks."
"I also like Pipa Ghost very much."
…
Pipa Ghost suddenly felt a little stunned.
It plays the strings of the lute.
It just felt that it was rare to meet that child again.
and……
Back then, it ate a lot of candy from the child.
He didn't give anything back to the child.
so……
It's a gift in return for those candies.
It wants to do something for that child.
It hopes...
It can see again the bright and shining eyes of that child when it saw it.
…
This idea vaguely emerged after following the child for a few days.
But……
It soon realized that there was nothing it could do.
…
It doesn't know what it can do.
It's a monster.
It's just a monster.
It can play the pipa.
It also makes faces.
But how can this help the child?
…
Besides, the child can't see it anymore.
So whether it can play the pipa or make faces...
It means nothing to the child.
…
Therefore, the idea of helping the child just flashed through its mind.
Like ripples on water.
When the wind passes...there will be no trace left.
…
However, it met Master Xiao Xiao.
It doesn't mean asking Mr. Xiao Xiao to do anything for the child.
It just wanted to ask Master Xiao Xiao...
Is there anything it can do for the child?
It wants to make the kid...happy.
Don't be so... unhappy every day.
Obviously the weather has been very good these days.
It wasn't the scorching heat of midsummer when they first met.
In spring, everything revives and flowers bloom.
Even the sweet smell is floating in the air.
It feels that spring is a season where it is easy to make people laugh.
It loves the colorful humans in spring.
There are also colorful flowers.
They all look great.
…
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were gentle.
There is a smile on the corner of the mouth.
"If he knew you had been by his side for so long..."
If you really want him to be happy...
"He will be happier."
…
Yeah?
Pipa Ghost opened his eyes wide.
But soon, the light in its eyes dimmed a little.
But he didn't know.
The kid...can't see it anymore.
How could he know that it had been with him for a while?
Speaking of which...
That child is really the human being who has spent the longest time with it.
You can't even see it.
It doesn't know what it is insisting on.
It just wants to persist.
So he persisted.
One day, it feels like it's almost done...
It doesn’t want to hold on anymore…
It will leave the child.
And the child will never know anything about it from beginning to end.
…
"yes."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the crisscrossing branches above.
The leaves are stacked.
A gust of wind passed by.
The leaves and branches swayed slightly, making the sound of slight friction and collision.
"he does not know."
…
"I don't know what you can do."
Xiao Xiao said it straightforwardly.
"Not just you, but other humans..."
"In fact, when faced with such a situation, he doesn't know what he can do."
"you know."
"For human beings, the eternal separation between heaven and man is the greatest sorrow."
The comfort of others is helpful.
But this usefulness is very limited.
It can be the icing on the cake.
But there is no way to really pull someone out of grief.
The trouble should end it.
The only one who can save yourself is yourself.
Only when you have figured it out can you let go of your grief and look forward to the future.
…
"It's been a long time..."
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"He will come out slowly."
"You also saw..."
"He has a lot of people around him who care about him."
The deceased wife and children cannot be forgotten.
But the living must continue to live.
Why not live a good life with the memory of your wife and children.
In this way, the spirits of the wife and children in heaven will also enter new reincarnations with blessings for the living people.
…
Really?
Pipa Ghost frowned.
Since Master Xiao Xiao said it, it naturally believed it.
…
"real."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"What's more..."
"Pipa Ghost also hopes that he can get over his sadness and become happy again."
There is hope for so many people, and there is also hope for monsters...
He believed that men could feel this warm kindness.
…
Pipa Ghost grinned.
I accidentally didn't pay attention, and the corners of my mouth reached to my ears.
…
Well.
After being stunned for a moment, a smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
