Healing Hotel

Yu Qing found that these days, when she promised to swim and came back, she was very happy.Dad Xu stopped moaning and sighing.

When he asked, it turned out that Xu promised to do something good.

Xu Nuo said, "It's a little floating after being praised", and I feel much better. I gradually adapted to the water, let go of my hands and feet, and can practice without relying on life jackets in shallow water.

He spent a few days in the scenic spot, reminded many people of the danger, and was very popular.Even if there are others who laugh at him now, someone will fight back for him.For the first time, Xu Nuo felt that being afraid of water was not a big deal.

So when he came back, Xu Nuo happily went to the tree hole again.After coming here, his favorite thing to do is the tree hole.

"I did something good again today."

"it is good……"

"A little girl gave me candy, very sweet."

"sweet……"

"I don't seem to be so afraid of water anymore."

"I don't seem to be so afraid of water anymore..."

"Tomorrow..." Xu Nuo said to himself, and suddenly froze for a moment, "What did you just say?"

However, the tree of courage no longer responded to him.

No matter what he said next, there was no echo.

"It's a good thing!" Wu Xun patted him and comforted him, "If it echoes, you really won't be afraid of water."

Only then did Xu Nuo recall Shudong's last words, which really meant farewell.

What happened in the tree hole... Xu Nuo thought anxiously, especially wanting to know what happened in the tree hole.

However, the tree hole was entangled with branches, so he couldn't see the depth, and he couldn't cut it randomly. He could only ask the owner why.

But this day the show opened, and Yu Qing went out.Because there are a lot of products on the market, you can also buy a lot of interesting snacks, such as rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes, fried glutinous rice balls, sugar flowers, fried potato chips... He likes this atmosphere very much.

The cut powder bought in the workshop is fresh and cheap.The Chinese cabbage picked by the farmer's burden has long arms and is verdant.Under the guidance of his second uncle, Yu Qing bought peanuts for oil extraction.What kind of peanuts are they, and whether they are of good quality? My second uncle has a very sharp eye and can tell a lot of things.

Yu Qing didn't understand these things, but the peanuts grown by the villagers themselves had a very pure peanut flavor, and the scene was full of oily fragrance, just smelling it could make you intoxicated.

A few people strolled around for a long time, and soon the car was full, and even Hu Er had to give up the back seat.

When they got home, they found Xu Nuo sitting at the door, resting his chin in a daze. When they saw the car, they immediately went up to meet it.

Almost at the same time, the old house called out: "Xiao Yu, come and see the fish~"

So Yu Qing took him to see the small pool.

The pool water was rumbled by the rain, there was a small fish in the water, shining silver, swimming around very nimbly, Yu Qing couldn't catch it no matter what.

"Your fish, you come." Yu Qing could only push him.

"Me, mine?" Xu Nuo looked blank.

"Yes, aren't you leaving tomorrow? This is a souvenir for you." Yu Qing said, and asked again: "What did you want to ask me just now?"

Xu Nuo just took the bottle, staring at the fish's tracks and preparing to fish, but now he can't think of anything.

"what?"

He seemed to want to ask something... That's why he waited for Yu Qing to come back at the door.But now he suddenly forgot!

Yu Qing saw that he was in a daze, the bottle in his hand didn't move, and the fish swam in on its own initiative, so he knew that it was definitely the promised fish.

"A troubled fish?" Xu Nuo murmured.Although he felt that nothing was strange after encountering the tree hole, he still felt that this statement seemed deceptive.

"You can take it as a kind of sustenance." Yu Qing racked his brains to explain to him. "It has the same troubles as you."

Xu Nuo wondered: "But it's a fish, how can a fish be afraid of water?"

Yu Qing: "..." He doesn't know either!Why does fear of water give birth to fish?

"Fish are also afraid of water. This is hidden fish. They have high requirements for water. They always stay in their own waters and are especially afraid of entering other waters. As long as they leave the original waters, they don't seem to know how to swim. .” Lao Zhai said.

Yu Qing is right when he thinks about it, there are many kinds of fish, and most seawater fish cannot survive in fresh water.

But Xu Nuo seemed not interested in raising fish, and kept thinking about what he had forgotten, so he said, "If it's really an annoyance, let it go away."

Yu Qing respected his choice.

The old house also breathed a sigh of relief: "I also think it's good not to keep it. The hidden fish will grow up, and people may not be able to resist eating it. However, it is said that the hidden fish has a hidden power. Humans will also become fish. There used to be greedy little people who ate them, and they have since turned into fish. They can only live in water and can never return to land.”

"!!" That's really... too bad!

Yu Qing quickly put the bottle to the sun.The whitebait in the bottle was very active, swimming around shaking its head and tail, but when the sun shone, it swung its tail without leaving a single bubble.

Xu Nuo opened his eyes wide: "Really..."

Disappeared.

He nunu looked again, and the fish was indeed gone.Then Yu Qing flicked his forehead. "Aw!"

"Okay, the worries are gone, and you won't be afraid of water in the future."

"I've been through a tree hole a long time ago, so I'm not afraid anymore." Xu Nuo rubbed his forehead, remembering his question.

"Why doesn't the tree hole talk?"

Only then did Yu Qing know what happened between him and the tree hole, and pondered: "How is your swimming learning?"

"Ah?" Xu Nuo said embarrassedly, "It's, it's okay." It's a bit embarrassing to say, but he learned how to dog plan.

Yu Qing said: "The tree hole can be rest assured."

Xu Nuo was stunned: "Really? What is in the tree hole?"

"Another you."

"I?"

"Yes, you brave one. The tree hole will only reflect your own voice. Don't take it too seriously, this is the superimposed psychological effect of the sound wave principle..."

But that reply was clearly an old man's voice, not his own... Xu Nuo thought silently.But he didn't refute it, and couldn't find any evidence.Because, now the tree hole no longer echoes him.

How does it feel like it's deliberate, like a person pretending that the previous thing didn't happen.

Xu Nuo's memory of the tree hole is becoming more and more blurred, but his premonition of water still hasn't disappeared.To confirm this, he went to Wangquan for one last swim before leaving.

This time he was much more comfortable, Xu's father was very happy and planned to teach him new postures in the future.

He sat on the bank to rest for a while, when Li Qiuyou suddenly came over and said, "What did you rub on your body? It's shiny."

Promised to look at himself: "No."

Li Qiuyou took a closer look, squeezed it a few times, and muttered: "It's really not, it's strange. By the way, why did you swim so well all of a sudden, like a fish just now."

Xu Nuo said embarrassedly: "I learned from you, and you teach well."

This time it was Li Qiuyou's turn to drift away. After drifting for a while, he discovered something new——

"Then why is your skin so slippery?"

"It's like this after soaking in water for a long time."

"You still can't get a tan!"

"intrinsic."

"Ahhh!! Don't come to see me next year if you don't get tanned!"

"That's hard to say, why don't you use sunscreen..."

……

The two laughed and went back all the way, Yu Qing was washing the car, when he saw Xu Nuo, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Under the sun, there are patches of light spots on the bare skin of the promise, which looks very similar...

Before Yu Qing called, Xu Nuo ran over and said happily, "I can swim breaststroke today."

"Not bad, the progress is very fast." Yu Qing nodded in approval, and pulled him closer to observe, only to feel that his hands were slippery, that feeling...

Yu Qing suddenly had a bold guess, his heart was pounding, and he poured some water on the back of his hand.Sure enough, when the water flowed through and the sun shone through, Xu Nuo's skin would flash with faint scaly light.But without the water, without the reflection of the sun, nothing can be seen.

If you swim in the water, even if other people see it, they will only think it is the ripples on the water surface...

Xu Nuo didn't know what he was doing, he just took it as a way to tell him to wash his hands, and rubbed his hands, and said happily: "I'm learning fast, and I can go into the water to save people in the future. Next time I'm on summer vacation, I'll Part-time work as a lifeguard."

Seeing that he happily ran to the tree hole again, Yu Qing murmured: "Old House, it seems that the correct way to open Yinyu is not to eat..."

If he guessed right, promises to learn to swim so quickly must have something to do with the disappearing hidden fish.People who eat hidden fish will become fish, what if they don't eat?If you keep it, what will happen?

Lao Zhai: "Huh!? I, my brother didn't mention it, I have to remember!"

Or, the hidden fish has not really disappeared, but exists in another form.After all, it's an emotional thing, not really a fish.Yu Qing thought to herself.

……

"I swam farther today!"

There is no echo.

"My dad said he didn't have time to bring me here during the winter vacation, but it's okay, I can come by myself..."

Before leaving, Xu Nuo stayed in the tree hole for a long time.

The old man couldn't bear to ask Yu Qing to call him.

"Let him talk." Yu Qing ignored it. "He is about to start school, and he will have to wait a long time to come to the tree hole again."

Moreover, Dad Xu didn't even remind him.

Lao Zhai scratched his heart and lungs, and kept saying: "But I'm afraid it can't help but talk again."

Yu Qing was stunned: "Who is talking? Is it a tree hole?"

The old house hesitated and said: "Yes, every time the courage tree hole utters a word, it will release a little energy, so its response can give people courage. But if it talks too much, it may accidentally slip the tongue and make the foresight Its ability has also been leaked... It has leaked a lot, and I am worried that it will disturb the world. It never said much before, so I didn't mention it, who knows... I have to remind it."

Yu Qing understands now, no wonder Li Qiuyou and the others said earlier that they promised to know where someone fell into the water without even looking at it in the swimming pool.

It seems to be the effect of the tree hole...

However, promise should not know.This kid is quite honest, and he didn't deliberately show off this ability, but explained it for intuition, a kind of intuition for fear of water.

Yu Qing looked over there thoughtfully.So there's more to that guy than that!

……

Promise: "Is it sunny or rainy today?"

Tree Hole: "..."

Promised to hear no echo, a little disappointed.But he couldn't help but continue talking to himself.

"Are you afraid of rain?"

"..."

"Your cave won't get rainwater in?"

"..."

"I'll ask the boss to make you an umbrella."

"!!"

Promise to do it when you think of it, and run to find someone immediately.

When Yu Qing agreed, he ran back again, and finally assured Shudong: "He promised me, you won't be caught in the rain."

The car in the distance has already started, Xu's father is shouting over there, Xu Nuo hastily said "goodbye", turned and left.

He hurriedly got into the car, but he didn't hear the relaxed breath coming from the tree hole, and a low echo——

"goodbye……"
