Chapter 13 Firefly Light (V)
Looking at the cashier counter in front of him, E Shifang opened his mouth into an O shape.
"Ha ha?" Is this what you call robbery?
"Um."
Xie Mian nodded and walked forward.
The cash register drawer had been opened and all the fifty and one hundred dollar bills had been taken away, leaving only some change inside.
Xie Mian put the change and coins into his schoolbag.
The coins made a crisp clinking sound inside the schoolbag. After searching this cash register, Xie Mian continued to walk to the next one.
Goose Shifang followed behind Xie Mian, holding his forehead with his wings:
Could it be that my dear wife has traveled through time? Otherwise, why would she do such a childish thing?
After searching several checkout counters and weighing his heavy schoolbag, he decided not to go to the checkout counter upstairs.
There's almost enough money in the bag.
Taking out twenty yuan and holding it in his palm, Xie Mian looked around and finally found the person he was looking for next to a brighter window - Xiao Xing was lying on a stool next to the window doing homework.
The bright morning light shone on Xiao Xing. Xie Mian clenched the coins in his hand and walked forward.
"Big Brother..."
Seeing Xie Mian coming forward, Xiao Xing timidly raised her head and greeted him.
Xie Mian smiled:
"Are you doing your homework? Can you help your big brother?"
Looking at Xiao Xing's sunken, yellow cheeks and dry, flaky lips, Xie Mian tried his best to soften his voice:
"I...how can I help big brother?"
Xiao Xing put down the pencil in her hand, which was not much higher than her thumb, and said with anticipation and trepidation.
The handwriting in pencil is neat and clean, and every stroke is written with great care. It doesn't look like it was written by a second-grade kid.
"Um……"
Xie Mian opened Xiao Xing's Chinese textbook and flipped through it gently. After a while, he pursed his lips and said:
"Can you help me walk the goose?"
"Walking the goose?"
Xiao Xing was a little confused and looked at E Shifang behind Xie Mian.
She knew about dog walking; her neighbor had a small pug and walked it every day, bathing it, dressing it, and buying it delicious food. But she had never heard of goose walking before.
"My goose is too fat. I need to take it for a walk every day, otherwise it will get fatty liver."
"My brother is feeling a little unwell and can't walk around. Can you help him walk the dog?"
"Brother can pay you a salary, twenty yuan a time, how about that?"
Xie Mian looked at Xiao Xing expectantly.
Xiao Xing liked the handsome older brother in front of her very much and wanted to help him. The older brother also said he would pay her, so she could buy food with the money. She was very hungry.
"Then it's settled!"
Seeing Xiao Xing nod, Xie Mian directly stuffed the money into Xiao Xing's hand:
"Then you can help your brother take a walk first. Just walk around the hall."
Xiao Xing grabbed the money and felt very happy.
She packed her textbooks and put them in her schoolbag. After asking Xie Mian to keep an eye on her schoolbag, she skipped over to E Shifang and said,
"Goose, run! Exercise and stay healthy!"
Even lying down, he was shot in the face. Fatty liver. The goose gave Xie Mian a sad look and took a tragic step forward.
Buddha said, if the goose does not go to hell, who will?
A gentleman will die for his wife!
Goose Shifang was running in front, and Xiao Xing followed behind with a smile on her face.
Xie Mian leaned against the window and watched the scene quietly.
He closed his eyes, and the sunlight gathered and dispersed under his eyelids, like Van Gogh's starry sky, rhythmically moving with inexplicable colors.
This feeling is a bit dizzy, but also a bit wonderful.
This reminded Xie Mian of his childhood when Lin Heng held his hand and left the welfare home. He also looked up and felt the sunshine outside the welfare home.
"Big brother, we're done walking."
Xiao Xing returned to Xie Mian with a trace of sweat on the tip of her nose.
Xie Mian gently rubbed Xiao Xing's head. Xiao Xing jumped downstairs and came back with some food after a while.
"Big brother, this is for you."
Xiao Xing picked out the largest piece of bread from the food in her arms and handed it to Xie Mian.
"Brother is not hungry, you eat..."
Xie Mian was about to refuse, but when he noticed Xiao Xing's expectant look, he picked up a piece of bubble gum from Xiao Xing's arms.
"Can I give this to my brother?"
The bubble gum costs five cents each and has a big pink bubble printed on it.
Xiao Xing nodded heavily.
After watching Xie Mian tear open the package and put the bubble gum into his mouth, he happily opened the bread, sat next to Xie Mian and ate it bite by bite like a little mouse.
There is a sticker in the bubble gum. On the sticker is a little girl holding a lantern. The little girl is wearing a gray skirt and the lantern in her hand emits a yellow halo.
Xie Mian peeled off the sticker, put the sticky side on the back of his hand and pressed it repeatedly. After a while, the little girl holding a lantern appeared on the back of his hand.
After seeing Xie Mian's actions, Xiao Xing also tore open a piece of bubble gum, and imitated Xie Mian, sticking the sticker on the back of her hand and pressing hard.
As the mask was peeled off, a majestic long sword appeared on the back of the little hand.
"Not a little girl..."
Xiao Xing was a little disappointed, she wanted to be like her older brother.
"Wow, it's a long sword. Long swords are very powerful!"
Thank you for giving me a thumbs up.
Hearing Xie Mian's praise, Xiao Xing became happy again. She held up the back of her hand to the sunlight and looked at it over and over again.
The bubble gum became softer and softer in his mouth. Xie Mian spread the bubble gum in his mouth, lightly touched it with the tip of his tongue, and a pink bubble blew out from his lips.
As the bubbles get bigger and bigger, they become more and more transparent.
“Bang!”
A loud explosion echoed through the air. Xie Mian turned his head and looked out the window. He saw a van speeding towards the mall explode.
Flames surrounded the van, and behind it followed a bus with its rear end on fire.
At the back of the bus was a monster that looked like a scorpion with a huge fireball on its tail.
The van had been burned to ashes.
The back door of the bus opened and the crowd screamed and ran out of the bus and ran towards the mall gate.
Another fireball shot out from the insect monster's tail, and the person who was hit was instantly engulfed in flames.
"Ahhhhh, help, help me!"
Screams echoed through the flames, but no one stopped. They ran, looking back in fear, afraid that they would be the next to be hit by the fireball.
Another fireball came.
The old lady who tripped over the stairs pulled up a woman beside her to stand in front of herself.
The woman instantly turned into a ball of fire.
The old lady crawled into the mall using her hands and feet.
Xiao Xing was so scared that she hid behind Xie Mian, holding on to his clothes tightly.
The insect monster kept approaching with its scaly tail. It raised its tail and spewed out a fireball. This time the fireball was shot towards the window where Xie Mian and the others were.
Xie Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, embraced Xiao Xing from behind and threw her to the ground.
"Bang!"
The fireball hit the glass, fragments flew everywhere, and a scratch was left on Xie Mian's face.
Ignoring the stinging pain on his face, Xie Mian quickly lowered his head to check if Xiao Xing in his arms was injured.
He was careless. He shouldn't have thought that he could rest easy with the insect follower who could drive away the insect monsters.
"Xiao Xing, wake up!"
Xiao Xing in my arms had her eyes closed, her face was pale, and her whole body was curled up, trembling like a frightened kitten.
Xie Mian was about to pick up Xiao Xing and leave to prevent the insect monster from attacking again.
But he noticed that the insect monster's tail had dropped, no longer spitting fireballs. It seemed to be afraid of something, its ferocious head roaring angrily, its tail dragging back and forth on the ground.
It seemed as if something was floating slightly in the air.
Xie Mian's pupils dilated unconsciously, and yellow-green spots of light began to gradually appear in his sight.
The spots of light were like little lit lanterns, dancing and jumping in the air, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes high, sometimes low.
The entire shopping mall seemed to fall into a sea of lights in an instant and became bright.
The sea of fluorescent lights and the vast river of stars.
The insect monster turned away unwillingly under the protective shield formed by the fluorescent spots.
Two pairs of gray elytra emerged from behind Xiao Xing and opened.
