Chapter 133 Little Mud...
Like a little mud puppy, it shook its head, wiping the water droplets off its ears before shaking its fox ears.
Although the current dynasty was known for its open-mindedness, it wasn't to the point where people could calmly deal with half-demons appearing on the streets. Little Mud was troubled and distressed, scooping up a handful of water and splashing it around. Ping Yu stared at the top of her head, his gaze following the two fox ears that swayed back and forth.
Then, a flash of inspiration struck.
"this."
The bracelet flashed with a bluish light again, and in the blink of an eye, a tiger-head hat worn by children appeared in her hand. Little Mudball stared intently at the hat, which was covered in gold thread embroidery. She asked, "What is this?"
The child's life consisted of nothing but food, beatings, and killing; she never looked at anything she shouldn't have thought about. Pingyu stroked the stitches on her hat, a look of nostalgia in her eyes. Seeing her silence, the girl obediently shut her mouth as well, quietly gazing at her reflection in the water.
Apart from some wear and tear on the brim, the rest of the hat is in very good condition.
“This is…” Ping Yu turned the tiger-head hat around, showing the tiger's face to Xiao Niba: “It’s a New Year’s gift from my mother.”
"What are New Year's gifts?" Little Mud asked.
Pingyu replied, "It's a New Year's gift. I was sickly when I was little, and I'll give this to keep me safe."
Tiger-head hat, tiger-head shoes, and a longevity lock—Pingyu was born with these. Lin Dong said that when she was born, she looked like a kitten, biting her fingers, her breathing so weak that even a single breath wouldn't create a ripple on the water. So, a few days later, he had a longevity lock made, and Xue Yue'e embroidered a tiger-head hat and shoes for her stitch by stitch.
A cat is a kitten, and a tiger is a big cat.
Because of the soul transmigration, Pingyu can remember even the smallest things.
Her eyes were filled with tenderness;
Her nose can be grasped by a baby's hand;
Her lips kissed her cheek like a flower;
Amid Pingyu's giggles, Xue Yue'e placed the half-finished tiger head on her head and gestured thoughtfully, saying, "Make it big. The bigger the tiger head, the stronger the tiger. We, Le'an, won't be cats or little ones. Mother will let you be the big tiger, okay?"
Okay, Mother.
She thought back to it in her heart.
The crescent-shaped crib, the room laden with jewels, the curious eyes of the baby in green, the father's shadow drawing ever closer to the doors and windows… the scenes and memories of the past vanished one by one like sand. Until finally, only the three who had been kindest to her remained. From beginning to end, no one looked away. They gazed at the crib overflowing with all the rare treasures, at the baby wrapped in cotton and silk in swaddling clothes.
[Le'an.]
They said: "You must grow up well."
In the blink of an eye, he passed away.
The last figure also disappeared.
Pingyu suddenly felt a dampness on the back of her hand, thinking it was a tear that had accidentally dripped onto it. She quickly wiped it on her cheek, only to find it was dry. Pingyu was startled. She looked down and saw that Xiao Niba was holding her hand, which was resting on the edge of the bathtub. Seeing Pingyu looking at her, Xiao Niba shyly tried to let go of her hand.
Pingyu laughed and grabbed her hand, saying, "I'll lend it to you."
"But your mother gave this to you, right?" Little Muddy shook his head. "I'll just wrap my head with a scarf, it'll be fine."
After saying that, Pingyu released her hand.
Little Muddy submerged half her face in the water, feeling uneasy. She was worried that she had upset Pingyu's curiosity, but the next second, the little fairy turned around and placed the tiger-head hat in Peipei's hands.
The mute girl stroked the object in her hand: "Ah...ah..."
She touched the pointed ears on the hat and knew it was a tiger-head hat. Since her possessions were precious, she was afraid her rough hands would snag the hat.
Perhaps sensing Peipei's nervousness, Pingyu's warm hand touched the back of her trembling hand. She led the mute girl and placed the tiger hat on the girl's head.
Pingyu said to Xiaoniba, "Alright, now this is the hat your mother gave you."
She pressed Peipei's hand down and pulled the hat over the girl's head. The憨厚 (honest and simple) tiger, paired with Xiao Niba's surprised yet delighted expression, was rather comical. Peipei stroked Xiao Niba's head, then smeared her hand on the girl's face. Amidst the soft cries, her tears and laughter fell together. Xiao Niba beckoned to Pingyu: "Miss, come here for a moment."
Chirp.
Her cheeks were soft.
Her eyes widened, and she hurriedly covered her face. As she pulled away, she saw Little Mud also kiss Peipei, who was crying. The little girl, like a puppy licking its favorite person, wore a hat and her eyes crinkled with joy: "Before, there was only one person who was good to me, but now there are two! Both of them are by my side, it's so wonderful!"
.
A short while later, Xiao Niba and Peipei finished changing. They were both pretty, but unfortunately too thin; in their finery, they looked like kites yet to be flown. Pingyu gave Xiao Niba a bag of silver and told her to play with Peipei herself. She and Nezha followed behind at a distance.
Seeing that Pingyu looked unwell ever since he came out, he assumed something had happened in the room, so he asked, "What's wrong? You look like you could hang an oil bottle on your face."
As he finished speaking, Nezha was startled by the water droplets on Pingyu's face. He squinted and touched her cheek again, "What happened now?"
The area touched by the fingertip was moist.
Ping Yu: "Little Muddy, you're my dear."
Nezha: ?
Are you saying that my rivals in love are now not only men and women, but also young and old?
Pingyu was preoccupied and didn't pay much attention to Nezha's reaction. They were separated from the two people by small groups of people. Among the many clothes brushing past each other, she saw the girl pulling her mute mother toward the candied hawthorn stall.
With a smile on her face, she bought the candied hawthorn skewers and looked around. When she turned around and saw Pingyu behind her, she held up the candied hawthorn skewers to the two of them, as if asking, "Do you want some?" Pingyu shook his head at her, and Xiaoniba then brought the hawthorn berries to Peipei's lips, intending to feed them to her.
Pingyu thought of himself and his family and shook his head.
Nezha was secretly jealous when he suddenly felt his fingers, which were hanging by his side, being hooked. Pingyu took his hand and whispered, "Do you think it's okay?"
Nezha turned to look at her: "What?"
"Wouldn't it be too cruel for us to do this for her?"
After all, Little Mud's plan was to sacrifice himself tomorrow.
Pepe, happily accepting the feeding, was completely unaware of this.
