Chapter 14 Firefly Light (VI)

There are two pairs of elytra, one large and one small. The large elytra are darker in color, while the small elytra are lighter in color.

The surface of the elytra is hard and the shape is round and cute. It is carried on Xiao Xing's back like a straw raincoat, protecting Xiao Xing's small body.

Fluorescent light continued to emanate from Xiao Xing's body, like flying fireflies, some swirling around Xiao Xing, and some drifting away into the distance.

Xie Mian stretched out his hand, and a drop of fluorescent light fell on his fingertips.

The fluorescence carries a faint warmth, like a wishing match struck in the winter snow.

"Great, great, we are saved!"

A man wearing glasses and a black suit dusted himself off and stood up from the ground.

"Li Yong, I was scared, I thought we were going to die!"

The woman in hot pants and suspenders hugged her boyfriend tightly, her long hair messy.

“Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you!”

The old lady who had just cruelly used someone as a shield knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly.

…

More than fifty people got off the bus, more than a dozen of them died, and the remaining thirty or so people were all gathered inside the mall. Their faces showed a variety of complex expressions:

Some were in great pain, some were glad that they had escaped, some were trembling with fear, and some had no expression on their faces.

Xie Mian's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and he felt a little confused because he didn't see any expression of surprise or shock on anyone's face.

Those yellow-green points of light, like fireflies, danced and flickered around them, but these people were completely unaware of it. Their expressions and movements did not change at all, as if the fluorescent light did not exist at all.

Can't these people see?

With doubts, Xie Mian turned his gaze to E Shifang.

Goose Shifang's wings were charred black, and the black feathers fell to the ground, which pricked Xie Mian's heart and made him feel a little painful.

If Goose Shifang hadn't swooped over and protected him with his wings, he would have been the one burned.

"Can you see it?"

Xie Mian extended his fingertips in front of the goose. The fluorescence on his fingertips was even brighter than before.

“Quack?”

What do you see? Honey, your finger is injured?

Seeing the confusion in E Shifang's eyes, Xie Mian confirmed that E Shifang also could not see the flying fireflies and the wings growing behind Xiao Xing.

Only you can see all this.

But why?

Xiao Xing felt her body getting hot again, as if surrounded by a warm force.

She had a dream that she was in a vast forest. The sunlight shone through the branches of the towering trees, casting mottled shadows. She was dancing happily in the forest like an elf.

Fly over a mysterious path filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, fly over a lake reflecting the blue sky and green trees, fly over a sea of ​​colorful flowers, and finally stop in front of a waterfall.

The water of the waterfall was rushing, and the splashing water droplets reflected colorful light in the sunlight. On the big rock in front of the waterfall, sat a six-winged elf.

"Brother Elf!"

She flew over and threw herself into the arms of her elf brother:

"elder brother……"

Xiao Xing opened her eyes, only to be met with a pair of worried eyes. They were the exact same eyes she'd seen in her dreams. She felt a surge of joy. This was the first time in her life that someone had looked at her in such a way.

"Is there any pain?"

Xie Mian helped Xiao Xing up from his arms. Xiao Xing shook her head. Although her arm was a little painful, she didn't want to make her big brother worry.

The wings spread out behind it and fluttered gently, fanning the flying fireflies back and forth.

Fireflies danced in front of and behind Xie Mian, some fell on his hair, some on his shoulders, and some on the buttons on his chest.

Big brother is so handsome!

Xiao Xing held her cheeks with both hands, looked at Xie Mian with red cheeks, and didn't want to blink.

Seeing Xiao Xing's crazy look, E Shifang snorted coldly and inserted himself between the two of them with his "dusty" wings:

"quack!"

Wife, the goose’s wings hurt!

The burnt wings had rubbed the clothes on his chest into a gray color like the bottom of a pot. Xie Mian carefully checked E Shifang's wings. Fortunately, only the feathers were burnt and the skin and flesh were fine.

"It's nothing, it just looks serious. I'll give you a bath and wash off the dust later!"

“Ga ga…ga?”

Take a bath? Help me take a bath? My wife wants to help me take a bath?

E Shifang was instantly overwhelmed with happiness, and pink bubbles appeared in his heart.

Xie Mian used his fingers to gently comb the feathers on Goose Shifang's wings until all the feathers that were burnt into a ball were combed out, then he stood up from the ground.

The clothes I changed into in the morning were already wrinkled, my pants were covered in dust, and my shirt was painted with ink-colored mist and rain.

Xie Mian prepared to wash E Shifang clean and then changed his clothes.

He brushed off the dirt on his body and walked in front, with E Shifang and Xiao Xing following behind.

Goose Shifang spread its black wings, Xiao Xing was holding her schoolbag and some bread and snacks in her hands.

"Hey, stop, what's that in your hand? Give us some!"

Just as Xie Mian stepped onto the escalator, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind him.

Xie Mian turned around and saw that the person who spoke was the old lady who had just used someone as a shield.

The old lady was dressed richly, with powder on her face, bright lipstick on her lips, and her hair permed in a fashionable and exquisite style. Her eyes fell shrewdly on the snacks in Xiao Xing's hand.

Xie Mian glanced at the old lady and said lightly:

"Who are you and why should I give it to you?"

"Oh, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to this little girl!"

The old lady saw that Xie Mian was not someone to be trifled with, so she put on a smile and pointed at Xiao Xing and said:

"Little girl, give grandma something to eat. I haven't eaten for several days!"

"You are a bad person, I won't give it to you!"

Xiao Xing was already frightened by the scene of the old lady harming people. Now, seeing the old lady asking for something from her, she felt even more frightened.

However, thinking that her elder brother was by her side, she still plucked up the courage and boldly refused the old lady.

She didn't give her food to the Black Mountain Demon.

The Black Mountain Old Demon was a very evil, very ugly monster with a bloody mouth in a movie she had seen.

"Did you hear that? No, give it to you!"

Xie Mian raised his eyelids slightly and spoke in a cold voice, enunciating each word.

"How can you, young man, be so disrespectful to the elderly and the young? I, Li Guifang, am so old, and I'm asking you for some food, and you're making things difficult for me?"

As Li Guifang spoke, she was about to step over Xie Mian to snatch the snacks from Xiao Xing's hand.

Xie Mian had anticipated that Li Guifang would do this, so he pulled Xiao Xing to the side.

Li Guifang missed and fell onto the escalator, leaving red marks on her face from the steps.

"Ouch! My waist is broken! Who is this? He wants to bully an old lady in her 50s or 60s!"

Seeing that she didn't get the snacks, Li Guifang lay on the escalator, crying and screaming, unable to get up.

Seeing this, others blamed Xie Mian:

"It's not nice of you to do this. After all, she's an old lady. She just wants something to eat. Give her some!"

"Yes, yes, it's just some food. In this situation, we should help each other!"

“When you give someone a rose, the fragrance lingers on your hand!”

Haha, what a great show of moral kidnapping. If these people hadn't been staring greedily at the snacks in Xiao Xing's hand, he would have believed it 0.00000001%.

"Brother, the supermarket is at level 1, why don't they go to the supermarket?"

Xiao Xing looked up and asked Xie Mian in confusion.

"Because there's a word in this world called chun—stupid!"
