little cotton

When her mother was still there, Yu Ling also knew how to read.

But when she was watching TV during the day, she discovered a problem, that is, the characters of the people in the city were more or less different from what she had learned.

Fortunately, there is not much difference between the two. Many words are still the same. The different feelings should be simplified and simplified. It may not be understandable if you take it out alone, but read it in a sentence. Guess can also guess the meaning.

On the second night of coming to the human city, little Cotton lay down by the table with the desk lamp on, carefully reading those rules and regulations that made the demon head big.

Goblins are not allowed to reveal their identities in front of people, cannot use magic to create creatures, cannot use magic to hurt people, cannot combine with humans, cannot go to school, cannot be a teacher, and are not allowed to become public figures in any form...

Can't, can't, can't, can't...

For a moment, Yu Ling felt that she was about to lose sight of the word "no".

No wonder the older elders on Xiquan Mountain want to guard the barrier that can block humans no matter what.

There are too many rules at the foot of the mountain. The goblins live here, and over time they all become "human beings", and they are no longer as free as they used to be.

But for Yu Ling, apart from being a little difficult to memorize these rules, there is nothing unacceptable.

After all, as long as these rules are followed, the goblin can be protected in the human world, unlike her in the mountains, no matter how submissive she is, she may be beaten and scolded at any time.

Thinking of this, Yu Ling couldn't help but gritted her teeth, and muttered in her heart: "That guy Yu Tang should go to this kind of place to reform and reform."

The lights and TV in the living room were turned off. Zhong Chuyun pushed open the door of the bedroom, and the first thing he saw when he entered the room was the little Mianmian sitting under the desk lamp and gnashing his teeth at "The Fairy Rules".

After a short silence, she went to the bed and sat down, and asked casually, "Are you so angry?"

"Of course!" Yu Ling responded subconsciously, and as soon as the words fell, she realized something was wrong.

She followed the voice and looked back at Zhong Chuyun, blinked innocently for a moment, and explained seriously: "I have no problem with these rules, I just thought of someone..."

Zhong Chuyun asked back: "Another friend?"

Yu Ling shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "No, he's a villain!"

"Oh." Zhong Chuyun responded lightly, took off his shoes and got on the bed.

Yu Ling wanted to confide in him, but Zhong Chuyun didn't ask any more questions, so he felt embarrassed to speak again.

She sat by the desk lamp for a while, feeling a bit lost, and realized that the light on her side might affect the sleep of the fox, so she closed the booklet in her hand, turned off the lamp on the table, and moved lightly. He hugged the narrow-mouthed vase to him, and took out all those plastic companions from last night.

She told herself that as long as she left Xiquan Mountain, everything would gradually get better.

For example, tonight's "bed" is wider than yesterday, isn't it better?

Thinking like this, Yu Ling changed back to her original shape and jumped in towards the mouth of the bottle, swaying left and right to find a relatively comfortable position, and was about to sleep when she saw a ray of spiritual light gently close the half-open window.

"...Thank you." Little Mianmian whispered, hugging herself with leaves in a good mood.

After the goblin cultivates human form, its habits will gradually move closer to humans.

For a cotton flower that is used to lying down and sleeping, having to sleep in a vase is actually not a very good experience.

Fortunately, the windows are closed, at least there is no wind at night.

On the second night in the human city, Yu Ling still didn't sleep well.

When she woke up, she had a strange and extremely fragmented dream.

She dreamed that she retracted the branches and leaves, letting the white tidbits roll around in the mountains with the wind, freely and without restraint.

When she met Ma'er, Ma'er took her halfway across the mountain.

When she met a bird, the bird took her to fly across a lake.

When she met a fox, the fox took her to find a big cotton forest.

The cotton in the cotton forest is tall and big, like trees.

She asked the fox, "Can I grow so tall, too?"

The fox wagged its tail, didn't speak, just turned around and sank into the tall cotton forest.

The fox, like her, was alone and had nothing.

She followed the fox, and followed him here and there.

And that fox also gave her as much warmth and food as possible.

They suffer together, they live together...

But all of a sudden, there was thunder in the sky.

In the pouring rain, she heard familiar and piercing curses.

Like a nightmare, it ruined her life.

She couldn't find her fox, so she could only curl up and choke up uncontrollably.

"Don't cry, don't you cry..."

Someone anxiously comforted her softly, and gently stroked the corners of her eyes with slightly cool fingers.

She opened her eyes, but couldn't see the man's face clearly.

I saw that the head was full of black hair, and the white hair was gone.

"where did you go?"

The man asked softly, in the words, it seemed that he was suppressing his sorrow, but he was unwilling to be harsh.

For some reason, the man was clearly close at hand, but the voice became farther and farther away.

"I……"

She opened her mouth, but couldn't speak the words of explanation.

She stretched out her hands, and the person in front of her was like the moon in the water, which would shatter at the touch of it.

"I have no intention of leaving!"

Little Cotton, agitated, emptied the narrow-necked vase sideways.

She couldn't help staring at the eyes that were so small that they were almost invisible hidden in the cotton silk, and she couldn't help rolling around with the vase for an unknown number of times.

Cotton is light and floating. Even if it rises and falls with the wind on weekdays, it is not easy to feel weightless.

But for a moment, the smooth wall of the bottle suddenly "pulled" her downward, and the sudden sense of weightlessness flooded into her brain without any reason.

In the next second, there was only a "pop"!

Cardiac arrest—

She is free.

The free little cotton, spreading its branches and leaves, lay in the middle of the broken vase with a dazed expression.

Oops!

She did something bad!

……

As for the fact that she didn't smash the vase on purpose, Yu Ling felt that it would be difficult to explain clearly to Zhong Chuyun.

After turning back into a human form, Yu Ling squatted beside the broken corpse of the "little bed" for a long time with a sad face. She squatted and squatted, her legs became numb, and she stood up with her knees supported.

After cleaning up the small mess, she rested her chin on her hands and looked down at the remains of the narrow-mouthed vase in the trash can for a long time in a daze.

Finally, she stood up and gently put in the plastic bouquet that had been placed on the desk last night.

She couldn't understand why she had such a strange dream.

In that dream, Lin Shuang turned into Zhong Chuyun, and asked her where she had gone with great resentment.

This is outrageous!

If this dream wasn't so outrageous, she wouldn't have broken the vase brother she had only known for two days, and succeeded in making its plastic sisters unable to return to its embrace.

"I did not do it on purpose."

"If you want to blame it, there is a fox scaring me in the dream..."

"I gave you back your little sisters, they will always be with you!"

She was talking to herself, her eyes filled with deep guilt.

However, this kind of guilt only lasted until the moment when the delivery boy delivered the food to the door.

Because the moment she received the takeaway, she was so happy.

In her previous life, she had always served others hungry, and if she did not do a little well, she would be beaten and scolded.

For the first time in her life, she saw someone deliver food to her, smiled and called her beauty, and wished her a happy meal!

Humans seem to be very kind.

The food is hot and packed in two plastic boxes, which smell very good.

Yu Ling opened the lunch box and chopsticks, without any waste, and ate to the full.

What?vase?

That's all in the past.

How can Cotton, who has finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, be immersed in the sorrow of the past?

Yu Ling thought so, and was about to watch TV for a while, but Naihe picked up the remote control and pressed it for a long time, but didn't understand how the big guy was going to turn it on, and finally had to go back to the bedroom, picked up the "Fairy Rules" and continued to memorize .

With her back on her back, she lay down on the desk and dozed off.

The afternoon sun shone into the window sill, and with the warmth of late autumn, it caressed the girl's slightly messy hair.

Gentle like a dreamer.

……

It was after six o'clock in the afternoon when Zhong Chuyun returned home.

On the way back, I picked up some vegetables and meat, as well as a small bag of eggs, at a vegetable market that was about to close.

When living alone, there may be nothing in the refrigerator, but now that there is a little girl in the house, it will not be the same as before.

Not long after the sun had set, the sky outside the window had already darkened.

There are no lights in the house, and every room is dark and very quiet, as if she is still the only one.

Zhong Chuyun put the dishes into the kitchen, cooked the rice immediately, then turned around and walked to the door of the bedroom, and looked inside curiously.

In front of the desk by the window, a little girl in a pink sweater was resting her thin arm on her pillow, holding the book "The Rules of the Fairy" upside down in her hand, her small white mouth was slightly opened.Breathe evenly and sleep soundly.

The vase on the desk is gone.

Zhong Chuyun walked forward with light steps, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and saw the fragments of the vase in the trash can by the desk, and the bouquet of fake flowers lying flat on the fragments.

She subconsciously looked at Yu Ling's little hand, and seeing that there was no scratch, she felt relieved and stepped forward to close the window.

Hearing the sound of closing the window, Yu Ling opened her eyes in a daze, and seeing Zhong Chuyun came back, she kicked her legs and jumped up from the chair.

"I don't want to sleep with the bottle. I, I, I didn't do it on purpose. I was careless. If I'm not careful, it will..." She lowered her hands in front of her body, the small movements of her fingertips were very obvious, and her thin body stood tall. There is still a red mark on the straight, delicate face, and the sleepy eyes are full of anxiety, "I will pay, I will definitely pay...washing, cooking and cleaning, I...I can do everything. Just leave it to me... But, can you pass it?"

"It's okay." Zhong Chuyun said, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Yu Ling drooped her head, not daring to speak.

Zhong Chuyun went to the door and turned on the light: "Why are you lying here sleeping? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yu Ling nodded subconsciously, then shook her head hastily, still daring not to speak.

Zhong Chuyun walked out of the bedroom, and she followed her out of the bedroom.

Zhong Chuyun walked into the kitchen, and she followed her into the kitchen.

For a while, in the small home, except for the bathroom, all the lights were turned on.

The night outside the window was darkened by the warm yellow light.

While washing the vegetables, Zhong Chuyun asked, "Why didn't you watch TV during the day?"

Yu Ling pursed her lower lip unconsciously, lowered her head and said, "I don't know how to use that black thing, there is no response to any pressing..."

Zhong Chuyun pondered for a moment, and said: "I forgot, I will teach you later."

"Thank you." Yu Ling bowed to Zhong Chuyun's back, got up and said in a low voice, "I can help chop vegetables! Actually, I can also cook, if you can teach me how to use these things... ..."

Zhong Chuyun didn't speak, just put the washed vegetables into the basket.

Yu Ling continued to fight: "I can calculate the time and prepare the meals when you are about to go home, so that you can eat directly when you come back!"

After hearing this, Zhong Chuyun turned off the faucet thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, turned to look at Yu Ling.

"Come on, watch me do it once."

"Ok!"

With her hands behind her back, Yu Ling jumped behind Zhong Chuyun in two steps, stuck out her small head, and began to study seriously.

She stood beside Zhong Chuyun, trying her best to get the job done.

Cut vegetables and meat, deliver seasonings, and serve dishes on plates.

After finishing everything that could be done, he had to sit with Zhong Chuyun at the electric stove table in the kitchen, looking at the three delicious dishes on the table, and waiting for the pot of uncooked rice.

After dinner, she rushed to clean up all the dishes like yesterday.

Walked out of the kitchen, came to the living room, walked briskly to Zhong Chuyun's side, and tried how to turn on the TV and change channels under Zhong Chuyun's simple demonstration.

That night, on weekdays, the little head was always lowered, and the little cotton who didn't dare to look at people directly, holding the remote control in his hand, kept changing channels to find what he wanted to watch, his eyes were full of smiles, like stars .

Zhong Chuyun sat aside, silently staring at the girl in front of him.

She used to...seem to have suffered a lot.

Bitterness is so small that a heart can be easily filled with just a little bit of sweetness.
