"Ha-" the boy was amused by Qin Wanwan, "You are so cute."
Qin Wanwan didn't understand what "cute" meant, "I'm not confused, I really am from Beijing."
The boy laughed harder and harder, and it took him a while to stop laughing, "I'm not saying you're stupid, I mean cute, and cute means cute."
"Oh." Qin Wanwan finally understood, and nodded in agreement normally, "I am very cute."
"So, little cutie, it's time for us to go home and find our mother." The boy stretched out his palm to her. Qin Wanwan held the bottle with fireflies in one hand and stretched her other little hand into his palm.
The boy was just a child, but he was much taller than her, and his hands were wider than hers. Holding her soft little hand, the boy took steps to lead her upstream.
go.
Qin Wanwan walked beside him step by step. When she heard some small animal running past in the grass, Qin Wanwan shrank up.
"Don't be afraid, it should be a rabbit."
"Isn't it a wolf?"
"How can there be such a small wolf? And there are no wolves here anymore?"
"real?"
"of course it's true."
The two children walked while chatting. As they walked, Qin Wanwan walked slower and slower, and finally stopped.
"What's wrong?" The boy turned around.
"I..." Qin Wanwan hugged her belly, "I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore."
When she came here, she didn't realize that she had walked such a long way, but now she realized that she had walked so far without knowing it. Now she was tired and hungry, and she still had no strength left.
"Then you don't want to see mom?"
"think."
"Then let's go."
"But I really can't walk anymore."
The boy looked at her helplessly, then walked up to her and helped her up, "Come on, I'll carry you."
"I'm very heavy, you can't carry it."
"Who said that? I'm a man."
"Adults are men, you are a child."
"Brave men are all men. I am a man. If I am brave, I am a man."
"That's it!" Qin Wanwan looked at her seriously, "Then consider you a man."
The boy laughed again, then squatted down in front of her, "Come up."
The boy's back was not generous. In Qin Wanwan's life, that back was like a mountain, making her feel at ease and warm. She climbed onto his back carefully, and the boy stretched out his hand to support her calf.
Straighten up and continue walking upstream.
In the distance, there was the sound of an unknown bird, which was particularly abrupt in the vast wilderness. Qin Wanwan was so frightened that she huddled on the boy's back.
"I am really scared."
"Just a bird."
"That's also scary."
"Then let me sing to you?"
The boy smiled, lifted her body up, and then sang softly.
"Fireflies fly slowly, the wind blows gently in the summer night
Children who are afraid of the dark, sleep peacefully and let the fireflies give you a little light
The burning little figure illuminates the direction for travelers on the night road at night
…”
The boy's voice was very clear. Listening to his voice, Qin Wanwan slowly relaxed and looked at the fireflies in the bottle.
"I heard from the person who was looking for fireflies just now that they will die in autumn, right?"
"Well, fireflies can't survive autumn."
The little girl immediately said, "But I don't want it to die."
