The cold wind blew, and several newspapers made a clattering sound.
The mess all over the place showed a bit of depression.
…
But, don’t you take all these belongings with you?
It's not like he has never met homeless people before, but those homeless people regard their own things as very important, even if those things are just like garbage in the eyes of others.
...
Could it be that the homeless man who once lived here had a great fortune and so he no longer likes these things?
Moreover, "one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"?
Because judging from the stretches of objects at the bridge pier, more than one homeless man must have lived here temporarily.
At least... Xiao Xiao counted the "nests" stacked there... there should be five or six people there.
However, Xiao Xiao was just a little confused. Who might be sure that this was just a place where people threw garbage.
He withdrew his somewhat inquiring gaze and walked towards the child without stopping.
…
The child saw Xiao Xiao walking towards him after being reminded by his companion.
The look on his face was a bit panicked and confused.
"Big brother?"
The child murmured, somewhat at a loss.
...
Xiao Xiao:......
He had an inexplicable urge to look at his face in the mirror.
Does he look very fierce?
Or is his expression now ferocious?
Otherwise, why would this kid look so worried that he is going to hit someone?
…
Xiao Xiao was a little shocked.
Obviously he always thought that his affinity was pretty good.
…
The child stared at Xiao Xiao who was getting closer and closer with wide eyes.
His dark eyes moved uneasily.
His three friends looked at the child, then at Xiao Xiao, and then looked at Xiao Xiao with wide eyes like the children.
…
It was the first time for Xiao Xiao to experience being stared at by several children as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
It is somewhat novel and funny.
He bent down, clenched his fist, and stretched his hand in front of the child.
Several children were frightened and took a step back.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
…
Xiao Xiao opened his palm and revealed the key inside.
"Is this your key?"
The child's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he subconsciously touched his pants pocket.
"ah!"
The child found his pocket empty and cried out, "My key!"
…
"This is my key."
The child looked at the key in Xiao Xiao's hand and wanted to reach out to take it, but shrank back a little, and glanced at Xiao Xiao cautiously with his black and white eyes.
"Well, I guess it's yours too."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his fingers and stretched his hand in front of the child, but did not come closer, signaling him to take the key away.
The child hesitated for a moment, and finally quickly reached out and grabbed the key in Xiao Xiao's open palm.
Seeing the key back in his hand, the child breathed a sigh of relief, then narrowed his eyes happily and laughed so hard.
…
Perhaps because he successfully got the key back, the child was not as wary of Xiao Xiao as he was at first.
The child smiled innocently and happily, "Thank you, big brother."
"Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded by my mother."
"You're welcome, be careful next time."
Xiao Xiao squatted down and looked into the child's eyes with slightly curved eyebrows.
"Um."
The child responded loudly.
…
"Then, I-" It's time to go.
The remaining words were interrupted by the sudden appearance of evil spirit.
Xiao Xiao suddenly looked up.
I saw a child running to the river bank for no apparent reason. The river water around him was undulating and making loud noises for no apparent reason.
The growing momentum made the children not only a little scared, but also very excited.
You can tell by the way he screams and jumps up and down.
…
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, causing the water to surge.
The huge water wave rushed towards the child as if it had its own consciousness.
There is evil spirit looming in the water vapor, and it is getting stronger and stronger.
The sky seemed to be getting a little gloomier.
…
The child's expression no longer showed excitement at the beginning, but became horrified.
He wanted to retreat, he wanted to escape from here.
But it was just an uncontrollable tremor all over his body.
His feet felt as if they were filled with lead, so heavy that he could not move even one step.
He even found in despair that he could not even do such a simple action as lifting his feet.
…
The child's eyes widened to the extreme, and the waves of water roaring toward him were clearly reflected in the black eyes.
The huge roar made him dizzy.
He knew that the next moment, he would be swallowed up by the water waves.
The dark shadow in front of me is getting bigger and bigger.
…
"Wow~"
The water waves hit the ground heavily, making a thick and shocking sound like muffled thunder.
Huge water splashes spread out like cannonballs.
…
Xiao Xiao let go of his arms holding the child, but luckily he caught up.
...
The child looked at the person standing in front of him, dumbfounded for a moment.
There was a loud bang behind the man, but he was unharmed.
I just felt a moist feeling on my face.
…
Is he okay?!
Until the child's friends hurriedly gathered around, the voices of all the people talking seemed to be separated by a thin film, making it difficult for him to hear clearly.
…
Xiao Xiao took the initiative to make way for the children's friends.
He turned his head to look at the river with dark eyes.
At this time, there was no trace of evil spirit on the river surface anymore.
It seems that the evil spirit before was just his illusion.
But, "Heh." Xiao Xiao chuckled almost silently.
What just happened was not an illusion.
That evil spirit...
It seems that we are still "old friends".
…
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming!"
The children's anxious cries made Xiao Xiao look over in confusion.
Then he noticed something was wrong with the child who was almost swept away by the waves.
The child was trembling all over.
His face was as pale as paper.
The drooped eyelids make it difficult to see the emotions underneath.
But you can see the eyelashes trembling violently.
…
The child was obviously frightened.
Looking at the child who had no response at all despite the shouts of the children around him, Xiao Xiao frowned in worry.
He quickly walked to the child and took the child into his arms.
He was careless. He thought that although the situation just now was dangerous, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a big wave that rolled up on the river due to the strong wind. If it hit him, he would be unlucky enough to become a drowned rat.
However, because the water waves are too strong, they may cause harm to children.
…
Most people don't know that the water waves contain evil spirits.
Not to mention that the wave of water rushed towards the child deliberately and wanted to drag the child into the river.
…
But he still overestimated a child's endurance.
Just facing a wave of water that was countless times bigger than him must have frightened the child.
…
Xiao Xiao gently stroked the child's trembling shoulders and comforted him softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
