Chapter 279: Big Sparrow and Little Sparrow
"Am I really bad?"
The little girl lowered her head sadly, tears falling to the ground one by one. She squatted down and drew circles with the dead branches on the ground as she did before, but there was no mother to hug her gently and tell her who had made her precious daughter unhappy.
Su Tan squatted down, her expression still calm. She didn't say anything, but just watched the little girl drawing circles again and again in the light of the lantern.
The candlelight through the lanterns was like a blurred orange juice, reflecting on the little girl's face. Su Tan said softly, "You are not bad at all."
"You are a very good girl."
"If your mother were standing next to you, she would probably want to tell you that you must be happy no matter what."
Hearing such gentle words, the little girl's tears flowed even more violently.
She was crying breathlessly, tightly clutching the dry branch in her hand, sobbing intermittently, "I...my mother...my mother also said, said..."
"She also told me before that I must be happy."
"Mother... Mother... Before she closed her eyes, she held my hand and told me, 'I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I can't accompany you anymore. You have to walk the road ahead on your own.'"
"My mother told me not to be angry..."
Having said that, Jiaojiao raised her head and wiped the tears from her eyes with her dirty sleeves, her little face puffed up slightly, "I won't be angry."
"I just..."
"I just miss my mother."
She really misses her mother.
But I don’t know if my mother is angry with her.
She hadn't dreamed of her mother for a long time.
"I want to go talk to my mother. I want to tell her that I didn't mean to forget what she looked like, it's just that I'm stupid... I can't remember a lot of things..."
She is really stupid.
How could there be someone as stupid as her?
No wonder A-niang no longer comes to her dreams.
"Mother, do you think I'm too stupid, so you don't want to come?"
"I want to say sorry to my mother. I've embarrassed her by having such a stupid child like me..."
Su Tan felt sad.
What a poor child.
Looking at Jiaojiao in front of her, Su Tan couldn't help but think that if she had a choice, she would rather die than let Changle leave her life twice.
She took out a clean handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped away Jiaojiao's tears.
"You're not a stupid kid."
Just like Changle is not a useless child, not a medicine bottle in their mouths, and not a burden in their eyes.
Changle is the only treasure in her life.
She looked at Jiaojiao and told her gently but firmly, "Jiaojiao, you are the one your mother loves the most."
"She is her pearl, and she is related to her by blood."
"You are the most steadfast allies and the most familiar partners to each other. The person you love most is your mother, and the person your mother loves most is you. The fate between you was destined in her womb."
"How could your mother dislike you? If she were standing here now, she would be in a panic because of your crying. She would probably want to hug you."
Jiaojiao didn't want to cry.
But when she heard this, her eyes suddenly became sore and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu…”
"Mother!"
"Mother, I miss you so much..."
She sobbed and called out to her mother, and couldn't help but imagine that if she cried, her mother would hug her gently as she used to and tell her to stop crying.
But she only felt a gust of wind blowing past her.
Jiaojiao shed tears again in sadness.
Su Tan reached out and helped her up. His voice, as clear and gentle as moonlight, brought an inexplicable sense of security to Jiaojiao's ears.
She said, "Jiaojiao, I'll go to the mountain with you."
"I'll go with you to find your mother."
"After visiting your mother, if you are willing to go home, I will take you home. If you don't want to, you can stay at my house temporarily."
Su Tan's voice is so gentle.
It was so gentle that Jiaojiao wondered if she was dreaming.
Otherwise, how could such an annoying person like her meet such a gentle fairy when she goes out?
Jiaojiao felt a lump in her nose. She really wanted to nod, but when she thought about what her sister had just said about the poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts on the mountain, and the possibility of bandits, she shook her head.
"Thank you, sister."
"But no need."
"It's too dangerous. I can go by myself."
"I believe my mother will protect me."
Su Tan squatted down and looked at her calmly.
"Jiaojiao, I know what you are worried about."
"But you don't have to be afraid. I'm not afraid of bandits or snakes, insects or wild animals."
"They should be afraid of me."
As Su Tan spoke, he turned his wrist and a flame suddenly appeared from his palm.
As she chanted the spell, the fire grew higher and higher. If she threw the fire into the bushes, the entire capital city would be engulfed in flames in just one night.
She flipped her hand and the fire disappeared instantly.
She set her eyes on the huge rock next to her and lifted it up lightly. As long as she exerted some force, the rock would soon turn into powder.
Jiaojiao widened her eyes, "You..."
"You really are a fairy!"
“You’re so awesome!”
"You are the most powerful sister besides my mother!"
My mother is also very good!
Mother can also pick up this stone and smash it on the ground!
But A-niang won't let her palms catch fire.
But in fact, rather than letting A Niang's palms burst into fire, Jiaojiao hopes that A Niang will live a long life.
In fact, when she celebrated her birthday before, she secretly made a wish for her mother to live a long life.
It seemed that even the gods and Buddhas could not hear her prayers.
So A Niang finally left.
She really hopes her mother can come back.
"Do you believe now that no matter if it's a bandit or a wild beast, they will avoid me if they see me?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll go up the mountain with you."
"Maybe your mother is waiting for you on the mountain?"
"When you see your mother, what are you going to say to her?"
Jiaojiao was stunned and shook her head in astonishment. Her pale little face was full of confusion.
"I……"
"I have no idea."
She just wanted very much, very much to see her mother again.
I want to talk to my mother again.
But she had never thought about what to say to her mother.
So when Su Tan asked her now, her mind went blank.
Jiaojiao lowered her head and said, "I am really stupid."
"Every day I think about seeing my mother and talking to her, but why do I not know what to say to her later?"
She was afraid of making her mother angry.
She knew clearly that her mother would not be angry, but she was still angry at herself for looking so stupid and felt that she had embarrassed her mother.
Su Tan simply reached out his hand and wiped Jiaojiao's tears again.
"It's okay. If you can't think of it, we can think of it after we see Mother."
"Maybe when you see your mother, you'll have endless things to say."
Jiaojiao was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"right!"
"Fairy sister, you are so right. Before I saw my mother after school, I didn't know what to say to her!"
"But as soon as I see my mother, I have so many things to say to her!"
At that time, her mother laughed at her and called her a little fool, saying that she was like a little sparrow, chirping all the time.
At that time, she proudly said that she was a little sparrow and her mother was a big sparrow.
The little sparrow has a lot to say to the big sparrow.
Even when the little sparrow learns to fly and gives birth to little sparrows like the big sparrow, she will still continue to chirp with the big sparrow.
But time goes by too fast.
Soon the little sparrow will not have a chance to grow up or learn to fly, and will never see the big sparrow again who will laugh and say that her chirping is really annoying.
"Sister, do you think I will really see my mother this time?"
There was a hint of anticipation in Jiaojiao's tone.
Su Tan smiled and touched her head.
The voice was gentle but firm.
"Yes."
"Jiaojiao, you are a very good child, and your mother is also a very good person. You can't bear to leave your mother, and your mother can't bear to leave you either."
"You will meet."
"Let's go to the mountain together."
Su Tan stretched out his hand towards Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao looked at Su Tan in a daze.
Su Tan's outline was blurred by light and shadow.
She suddenly felt that the lantern in Su Tan's hand was like a big glowing tomato.
This big tomato made Su Tan look very gentle.
Jiaojiao nodded in a daze, reaching out and holding Su Tan's fingers, "Okay! Let's go find my mother!"
She missed her mother.
She really hasn't seen her mother for a long time.
