1879, rainy night

Xi'er brought Liliu's first aid kit and hid it under the bed in her bedroom. If she hadn't taken the initiative to take it out today, Xiaobai wouldn't have known about it.

Although Xi'er said that Liuliu planned to throw it away and buy a new one, Xiaobai knew that Liuliu probably said it casually and didn't really want to throw it away.

But Xi'er took it seriously. Since you said you were going to throw it away, why not give it to her?

Forget it if you don't give it to her, she will go to the roadside to pick it up and take it home.

Just like before, Duoliu showed off that his apples were big and red, and asked the children if they wanted to eat them, but refused to give them to them. Xier took it seriously and secretly took a bite, which made Duoliu cry in anger.

Xiaobai told Xi'er that Liuliu would definitely want the first aid kit, and she wouldn't let it go.

But Xi'er firmly believed that Liuliu was no longer wanted and was thrown on the roadside, but she picked it up.

This little pudding has a stubborn streak, and it is very difficult to convince her of things she believes in.

She took out the first aid kit and planned to save her pothos.

Her green radish is not growing vigorously and is a bit wilted, with sparse branches and leaves. Compared with Xiaobai's, it looks like it is malnourished.

Xi'er took out a syringe, filled it with water, and poured water into the pothos pot.

Xiao Bai watched her operation quietly from the side, speechless as he watched.

"Is this useful?" she couldn't help but ask the busy Xi'er.

Xi'er hiahia smiled and said proudly: "Just look at Ba Xiaobai, my pothos will grow very tall."

Xiaobai: "What's the use of this?"

Just filling it with water from a syringe will work?

Xi'er hiahia smiled and said mysteriously: "Just look at Ba Xiaobai, even if I tell you, you don't understand."

Xiaobai muttered, you are a precious little child.

She took care of her pothos carefully, wiping every leaf until it was clean. She also polished the glass bottle so that her face could be seen.

She was holding a glass bottle, with the green radish swaying, standing by the window, looking out of the house.

The night was thick and pitch-black, and there was heavy rain under the street lamps. Although no rain could be seen in the wider night sky beyond the street lamps, there was the sound of rain falling between the sky and the earth. The rain hit the leaves and fell on the ground.

on, fall on the roof, fall on the vehicle...

The lively summer nights in the past have turned into a chorus tonight, all variations on the sound of rain.

The chickens have stopped crowing, the cicadas have stopped chirping, the birds have disappeared, and the cats and dogs are hiding in their nests.

Nature drives people indoors to enjoy the outside world exclusively.

Xiaobai held the green radish in his arms and stared blankly at the heavy rain under the street lights outside the window.

The sandpit they usually liked to dig was gone. It was filled with rainwater and could no longer be seen.

Her pepper seedlings were no longer visible, the rain blocking her view.

The parrot that usually hangs on the branches and imitates others is also missing. It must have been placed at home by Li Fei.

Li Weibo was not in the yard either. There was a light on in the sentry box next to the gate, and there was a peaceful beauty in the swaying wind and rain.

"Xiaobai, what are you looking at?"

Xi'er also held Luluo, stood beside Xiaobai, and followed her gaze to look out.

Xiaobai sighed softly and said softly: "It's raining heavily."

Xi'er nodded: "The fish will be very happy."

"..." Xiaobai was confused by Xi'er's brain circuit and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a while, he said, "People will get wet from the heavy rain. Many children haven't come to Little Red Horse yet."

Xi'er nodded and said from another angle: "Then the children who are not here can stay with their parents. Wow, that would be great too. Wouldn't they be very happy?"

"..."

Xiaobai was silent for a while and said, "Okay, you are right."

"hiahiahia~~"

The two of them were right, because it rained so much tonight that the city's drainage system couldn't handle it all of a sudden. Many places were flooded and couldn't get through it. Traffic was blocked and the city was in chaos.

Many children in Little Red Horse Academy cannot come tonight. Teacher Xiaoliu keeps receiving calls from parents asking for leave.

Xiaobai took the roster and walked around the classroom, counting the children who came.

"Xiao Du is here~"

Xiao Du is watching TV. Usually there are many children watching TV, but tonight there are only two, one is him and the other is...

The child looked back at Xiaobai, smiled, raised his little hand high, and said cheerfully: "I'm here too, Xiaobai!"

It's Xiaoxiao.

She and Xiao Du sat next to each other and watched cartoons. The two of them usually bickered and fought, but it was rare that they sat together without any quarrel tonight.

"Who sent you here?" Xiaobai asked her, at the same time reaching out to touch her body to check if her clothes were wet.

"My father sent it to me. He has gone to work. I have to be good," Xiaoxiao said.

Xiaobai touched her head, looked at Xiaodu, and asked him how he got here.

"My father sent me here." Xiao Du said, still staring at the TV.

Xiaoxiao said: "I saw Xiao Du's father. His father was wearing a raincoat. He looked like a man in black. He couldn't see his face clearly. He was covered in water. He took Xiao Du out of his arms and handed it to me.

."

Xiao Du said: "What was entrusted to you?! Nothing at all."

"Yes! Yes! Didn't your father tell me to take good care of you?" Xiaoxiao said seriously.

Xiao Du: "He told me to watch you because you wanted to run to the yard to play in the water and we found you."

"No! I'm not playing with water~" Xiaoxiao stood up from the stool excitedly, squeezing her neck and saying.

"Where are you staying? Sit down, don't stand up."

Xiaobai put a hand on Xiaoxiao's shoulder, telling her not to get excited and sit down.

Xiaoxiao sat down and argued: "Xiaobai, I didn't play in the water."

Xiaobai nodded: "You didn't play with water, you just wanted to play with water."

Xiaoxiao nodded and said in a sweet voice, "Yes."

Xiaobai: "Guawazi, you're right! Just stay in the classroom and you can't go anywhere!"

"I'm watching a cartoon, it's really good."

She also set her sights on the TV, with Xiao Du.

In addition to the two of them, there were several others in the classroom, such as Xiao Weiwei, who was drawing with another little girl.

It's Xiaofang.

My little girl is very good at drawing, and everything she draws comes alive. Children all like to draw with her.

No one from the bestie group came, so Xiaomi called and told Xiaobai that she couldn't come in the evening because it was raining too hard and there was water on the road, so the car couldn't come.

She specifically asked for leave from Xiaobai.

The group of besties once agreed to be together every day.

If you definitely can't come, then you have to ask for leave.

Not long after Xiaomi’s call, Liliu also called.

She said she couldn't come tonight, but she wanted to sing a song to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai didn't listen and hung up the phone directly.

Dudu can't come either.

Only Cheng Cheng didn't call. Xiaobai was worried about her and was about to call. At this time, a black shadow appeared by the window outside the classroom. It was someone emerging from the heavy rain.

Immediately afterwards, the classroom door opened and a little girl appeared at the door.

"Cheng Cheng——"

Xiaobai was surprised and ran over to ask her why she was here. It was raining so heavily.

Cheng Cheng's eyes were bright and he said, "I'm here to see everyone."

The dark figure outside the classroom is Meng Guangxin. He is wearing a raincoat and his whole body is covered in it.

After he sent Cheng Cheng there, he left again, walked into the rain, and disappeared.

Cheng Cheng stood in the corridor and watched his old father leave.
