Chapter 17: Rotten Grass Without Fireflies (Part 2)
"Xiao Xing, do you want to go with your brother?"
Xie Mian stood in front of Xiao Xing on a lounge chair in the amusement park, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Xiao Xing.
Xiao Xing was happily playing with the strawberry bear in her hands, her head lowered. The strawberry bear was slightly larger than an adult's palm and about the size of a one-month-old kitten.
"Go with big brother?"
Xiao Xing raised her head and looked at Xie Mian in a daze: "Big brother, are you leaving here?"
"Um."
Xie Mian nodded: "Do you want to leave with your brother?"
"I……"
Xiao Xing hesitated, holding the mineral water and not answering.
The bottle of mineral water was slightly tilted, and the tasteless water spilled out of the bottle mouth and flowed onto Strawberry Bear, making him wet.
"Big Brother, I..."
Xiao Xing bit her lip and slowly lowered her head. Her chest felt tight, and she didn't dare to look her older brother in the eye.
…
at the same time.
Zeng Jianguo tried his best to suppress his irritation and patiently coaxed his daughter Taotao:
"Okay, Taotao, don't cry. Daddy will find you a gold necklace later!"
His clothes were tattered and hanging on his body, his face was bruised and purple, and he walked with a limp.
"Ahhh, no, no, I want the gold necklace now, I want it now!"
Taotao cried loudly and rolled on the ground, looking determined to get what she wanted. No matter how Zeng Jianguo tried to coax her, it was of no use.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. How about we go ride a big horse?"
Wang Lili picked up her daughter from the ground and comforted her with concern.
"Then I want to play the horse riding game with my sister, and I want my sister to be the horse!"
Taotao got up from the ground, hugged her mother's neck, and burped while acting coquettishly.
"Okay, Xiao Xing, you accompany your sister...
Wang Lili looked around and didn't see Xiao Xing. She angrily shouted at Zeng Jianguo:
"Where has Xiao Xing gone? She doesn't know what's going on. She only knows how to run around at home, and now she's still doing this outside. You should take good care of your daughter."
"Xiao Xing—Xiao Xing—"
Zeng Jianguo felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He shouted Xiao Xing's name loudly. After not finding Xiao Xing on the first floor, he ran to the second floor, then the third floor and the fourth floor.
His footsteps stomped heavily on the ground, making a "thump thump thump" sound. His anger reached its peak when he saw Xiao Xing in the amusement park on the fourth floor.
"Can't you hear your sister crying? You're still in the mood to play in the playground. As a sister, can't you understand a little bit?"
As Zeng Jianguo spoke, he slapped Xiao Xing on the head.
The slap brought with it the wind, lifting up the hair on Xiao Xing's head.
When Xiao Xing heard Zeng Jianguo's voice, she suddenly raised her head and stood up from her seat in fear. She instinctively raised her arms to protect her head.
The expected pain did not come. Xiao Xing raised her head and saw that her father's strong arm was firmly clamped by the older brother.
"roll!"
Xie Mian spoke, his voice was a little cold, and there was no expression on Qingjun's face.
"It's you again, what the hell is it to you about me educating my daughter?"
Zeng Jianguo tried hard to break free from the grip, but he found that although the man opposite him looked slender, his hands were extremely strong.
"Xiao Xing, do you want to go with your brother?"
Xie Mian turned his head and looked at Xiao Xing.
"What do you mean by leave? What are you going to do to my daughter? I'm telling you, my daughter is only...only eight years old. Kidnapping a minor is illegal!"
Zeng Jianguo angrily cursed at Xie Mian.
"Xiao Xing, come here quickly! Don't trust everyone. Many men these days look decent, but who knows what they are actually!"
Xie Mian tightened his grip on Zeng Jianguo's arm. Zeng Jianguo kept screaming "ouch, ouch" and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Big brother, please let dad go. I want to go back with dad!"
Xiao Xing held Strawberry Bear tightly with one hand and pulled her father's clothes with the other, and whispered to Xie Mian.
Xie Mian released his grip on Zeng Jianguo and turned to leave.
That night.
The couple's theater in the cinema has a heart-shaped bed for two.
The candlelight flickered.
Xie Mian covered his head with a blanket.
"Ga ga ga?" Are you going to suffocate yourself?
Goose Shifang asked while drinking last night's "expired" Coke.
"No!"
"Huh?" Unhappy?
"No!"
Xie Mian suddenly lifted the blanket, held E Shifang in his arms like a doll, and put one leg across E Shifang.
"sleep!"
Happiness came too suddenly, and E Shifang was flattered. The candlelight went out with the sound of shallow breathing, and the moon disappeared into the clouds.
"Ss ...
"Ss ...
"Ss ...
A black shadow quickly moved and crawled in the darkness, and in a blink of an eye, it had quietly arrived at the bedside where Xie Mian was lying from the door of the theater.
The black shadow didn't stop at all and pounced directly on Xie Mian who was lying on the bed.
Just as the black shadow's feet were about to touch the thin blanket, they were suddenly kicked away by a flat, yellow goose paw.
The black shadow rolled several times in the air. Just as it stabilized itself and turned its head to attack the bed again, it found that its body was tightly strangled by a belt.
——It was tied up by a long, thin shoelace.
The shoelaces tightened, making it almost impossible to breathe. It opened its mouth wide and angrily shook its body and head, trying to throw off the person standing behind it.
Its movements became larger and larger, and the force used became stronger and stronger.
Just when it suddenly breathed fresh air, it found a head with its mouth wide open rolling on the ground.
The moment the human-insect head rolled off, Xie Mian loosened his shoelaces, kicked the wall, and used the force to climb over and hide behind a bed.
Red blood plasma exploded in the air with the light of the flashlight.
Next, a fat head rolled to the ground, with two long and thin tentacles on the head shaking constantly.
"Gah!"
It was the pregnant man during the day.
"That's not pregnancy, that's a beer belly."
I didn't expect that the man I taught a lesson during the day would turn into a cockroach-like human insect.
There was no change in the man's head, except for two black tentacles on top of his head.
The weird thing is that the man's body has completely turned into the appearance of a cockroach.
Thick sewage was still flowing from the man's neck.
Inside the dark brown, headless shield are countless soft, long, motionless nodes.
"Ga ga ga!" It seems a bit smelly.
Xie Mian also smelled a foul odor, which came from the cockroach man's corpse. It seemed that he could not stay here anymore.
Xie Mian and E Shifang left the couple's cinema and looked for a place to sleep again.
"Crackling?" How could the cockroach man run to the sixth floor? If he wanted to attack humans, there would be more people on the first floor, right?
"Because Xiao Xing is down there."
Xie Mian walked to another theater, found a seat, sat down, and closed his eyes again.
E Shifang was thoughtful when he heard Xie Mian's words.
