Chapter 44: Seeing the child Fahai again, he only catches monsters. What is she afraid of as a child?
In the darkness, the "soundly asleep" Song Keling slowly opened her eyes. She tilted her head slightly to look at the little snake sleeping beside her.
I don’t know if it’s because of the night light, but the little snake seems to be emitting a faint glow all over its body.
Song Keling was not sleepy at all and was quite awake.
I was awake enough to clearly see the shape of every scale on the little snake, and even the light flowing on them.
Then, her eyes gradually widened in disbelief.
The little snake slowly transformed into a child with rosy cheeks and baby fat, and was wearing the clothes she had bought for him before.
Song Keling's heart was beating like a drum, and she was shocked beyond words. At this moment, the child's thick eyelashes like a porcelain doll trembled and she opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
This time, Song Keling saw the pair of blood-red eyes that were hidden in the daytime, as well as the golden vertical pupils.
The child slowly spoke: "Junior sister..."
Song Keling suddenly opened her eyes, her breathing was uneven, and her sight was the ceiling of the bedroom. She immediately turned her head to look.
It was just dawn, and beside my pillow was a little snake sleeping soundly, motionless.
This scene actually has a great visual impact.
But no matter how great the impact is, it is nothing compared to a dream.
Song Keling sat up and found that a strand of her hair was caught in the snake's tail, causing pain when she pulled it.
Under the pain, Song Keling woke up completely.
While calming herself down, she pulled out her hair bit by bit, then got out of bed to wash.
At this moment, a low murmur came from behind - "Junior sister."
Song Keling, who was putting on her shoes, froze.
She turned her head in disbelief!
For a moment, everything in the world faded away, and only the tiny white snake remained before Song Keling's eyes, getting bigger and bigger.
Everything is quiet.
Amidst the pounding heartbeat, Song Keling wondered if she had heard it wrong. She watched the little snake's body slowly rise and fall with its breathing.
Even the faint friction of the snake's scales seemed to be heard.
But no more unusual sounds were heard.
Song Keling regained her composure, got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
I washed my face first, then looked at myself in the mirror. There was no bloodshot in my eyes and no dark circles under my eyes.
She didn't sleep well.
Even the sleep quality was pretty good.
It is impossible to be so tired that you have auditory hallucinations early in the morning.
Even after Song Keling left the house, her heart was still beating loudly and rapidly.
The course was full that day and it was already afternoon when it ended.
Song Keling did not go home but went to see the psychologist she had an appointment with.
The female doctor was in her forties, had a gentle temperament and looked kind.
Song Keling first filled out the questionnaire, and then told the doctor about her experiences over the past few days.
Doctor: "So, it's just these weird dreams that happen frequently?"
"yes."
"Here are a few tests with very few questions. Take them."
"What's the test about?"
"It's all there, don't be nervous, just let it go."
"good."
It was already dark when Song Keling left the hospital, so she hailed a taxi to go home.
The doctor said her test results were normal and she was mentally healthy. It was probably because of the heavy academic workload that she was under some pressure. She could talk to friends more often, travel to relax, and divert her attention to relax.
But at the same time, she was prescribed some medicine.
Song Keling checked and found that they were just some auxiliary sedative and sleep-inducing drugs, not psychiatric drugs, and the symptoms they targeted were relatively mild.
When entering the residential complex, Song Keling saw the security guard concentrating on watching a TV series, with a fluorescent light on his face, and a video of the heroine crying came from his phone.
It's hard to imagine a middle-aged man watching sentimental Korean dramas.
Song Keling curled the corners of her mouth slightly, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered that the child she picked up before had been reading the Legend of White Snake at home all day long?
That’s all fine, but the subsequent discussion topics are thought-provoking.
The child was afraid of Fahai and worried that he would come to arrest people.
Children are innocent and naive, and don't know that TV dramas are fake. It is normal for them to be afraid of the villains in them.
but.
Fahai only catches monsters.
What is she afraid of as a child?
Song Keling questioned herself as she walked, but before she had a chance to think deeply, she turned a corner and a scene not far away made her freeze in an instant.
Several kind-hearted aunts and sisters in the community surrounded a little girl, asking her many questions and discussing with each other, basically trying to find parents for the child.
The child looked up at the people around him, looking extremely panicked and helpless.
Song Keling didn't wait for her brain to react and quickly stepped forward.
When Qianqian saw Song Keling coming, her eyes lit up instantly and she immediately threw herself into her arms!
Song Keling patted the child's head and greeted the aunts: "Good evening, aunts."
When the enthusiastic aunties saw that the child was not lost and it was just a misunderstanding, they told her to keep an eye on the child and pay attention to safety, and then they quickly dispersed.
After they left, Song Keling let go of the child and took him home instead of sending him to the police station.
As soon as she entered the door, Song Keling ignored the children and went straight into the bedroom.
There was no sign of the little snake in the breeding box, on the table, or on the bed.
Song Keling took out her cell phone to check the surveillance footage.
The effective footage was of the little snake crawling towards the door at around 5 pm, and then, just like before, the image signal was affected by the magnetic field and became blurred.
It returned to normal after two hours.
At this time in the picture, the door was still closed and the little snake was nowhere to be seen.
Song Keling's fingers turned white from gripping the phone. Just as she turned to leave the bedroom, she happened to see a child standing at the door looking at her timidly.
The child's slender white fingers were scratching at the crack of the door, and he seemed much more nervous and awkward than last time.
Song Keling's heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to calm down. "Didn't you have dinner? Are you hungry?"
His expression and tone seemed no different from usual.
Qianqian nodded eagerly.
Song Keling: "Then I'll go buy you dinner."
Qianqian scratched the crack of the door with her fingers and whispered softly, "I, I want to go together..."
Song Keling pretended not to hear and asked, "How about you watch TV at home for a while?"
Qianqian hesitated, but nodded and agreed.
Song Keling's expression was normal when she went out and entered the elevator. The elevator "ding" arrived at the first floor, but her steps became disordered when she walked out of the car.
My heart was pounding so fast that it was deafening.
What’s going on?!
Qianqian disappears, the child appears, the child appears, Qianqian disappears.
What is certain is that the child is real.
It was like this before and it is like this time.
Unless someone was deliberately plotting against her from the beginning, she couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.
That……
Eliminate all impossibilities.
No matter how impossible the rest is, it will be the truth.
But how can she believe this? !
Song Keling tried to remain calm and unraveled the details of her memories.
Ten minutes later, she bought some rice and returned home.
Qianqian, who was sitting in the living room, kept staring at the door. As soon as she heard the sound, she immediately ran to greet them happily.
Song Keling instinctively dodged slightly, avoiding her lunging body, walked to the living room to put down the lunch boxes, called the children over to eat, and then pretended to ask casually: "Where have you been these past two days?"
Qianqian had already thought of a perfect answer and immediately said, "You chased me away that day, and I was very sad, so I left. I walked around and walked downstairs, and then I saw you."
Song Keling: ...
Listen to what you say, is there any logic in it?
Song Keling sat down in silence and ate a few mouthfuls of food before asking, "Your name is Bai Qianqian?"
Qianqian nodded.
Song Keling: "Which one is white?"
Among the Hundred Family Surnames, there are two surnames with similar pronunciations, one is "bai" (pine and cypress), and the other is "bai" (white).
This question did not stump the clever Qianqian, she answered immediately: "Bai Suzhen's Bai."
Song Keling: “…”
Song Keling's eyelids twitched, and she continued, "You said you don't have a father or a mother?"
Qianqian nodded again immediately.
Song Keling couldn't eat anymore with her chopsticks. She looked up and saw that the child opposite her was also not eating, and was looking at her with his big, watery and bright eyes.
Enthusiasm, trust, and unconcealable nervousness and anticipation.
Song Keling noticed that her pupils were pure black, no different from those of normal people.
Song Keling retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and mechanically ate her dinner. She said, "Then you can live with me. Don't run around."
Qianqian was happy: "Okay! Thank you, junior sister!"
Song Keling's fingers felt a little numb while holding the chopsticks, and she was wondering where this name came from.
Qianqian then asked, "Can you teach me how to read?"
Song Keling was slightly confused by the sudden question and subconsciously said, "You can't read, right? I can send you to elementary school."
As soon as the words fell, a picture suddenly appeared in my mind.
A child turned into a little poisonous snake in front of his classmates and teacher in the classroom.
Song Keling was startled and immediately changed her tone: "If you want to learn, I can buy you some books so you can read them at home. They're all good for elementary school or kindergarten."
Qianqian didn't care at all about Song Keling's inconsistency. In her opinion, all of her arrangements were the best. She was very happy and said, "Thank you!"
Now all the difficulties have been resolved.
She stayed here, learned to read, understood human society, and grew up slowly.
Then he married his junior high school classmate.
So perfect, so perfect!
Song Keling didn't know what Qianqian was thinking and said, "You're welcome."
She lowered her head to eat, her mind full of chaotic thoughts. She also remembered that her eldest brother had mentioned last time that there was a Master named Shi who specialized in catching ghosts and monsters...
Thinking of this meal.
No, no.
Song Keling immediately gave up the idea. He was crazy. Not to mention that it couldn't be confirmed now, even if it was true, why would she look for a master?
Catch Qianqian and kill her?
Qianqian was originally very afraid of Fahai.
If I deliberately find a master at this time, wouldn’t that be worse than Xu Xian?
At this time, Song Keling didn't realize that the two were not comparable at all.
They are a real couple in this world, and if you let them down, you are a scumbag.
She and Qianqian are just like that.
That night, Song Keling cleaned up the guest room next door. When the child was about to enter the bedroom, she stopped him and said, "You want to sleep in the guest room by yourself. Didn't we just agree on that?"
Qianqian was anxious, and said a lot, "But, but we slept together last time."
"Last time is last time." Song Keling reasoned with her: "Last time you were just staying with me temporarily and had to leave in two days. Now that you plan to stay here permanently, you have to sleep in a room by yourself."
Qianqian didn't understand the logic, her cheeks were puffed up and tears welled up in her eyes.
Song Keling looked at this scene, clenched the door handle in her hand, and felt bad. She was not a cruel person, and thought that this was just a child.
If you wanted to harm her, you would have done it long ago.
This is Qianqian.
There's a fifty percent chance that it's her little snake that's become...
Even though it's ridiculous and unbelievable.
But the jokes made by the senior sisters did happen in a real and simple way.
The difference is that Bai Suzhen has practiced Taoism for thousands of years and is both a snake spirit and a human spirit.
Her Qianqian was just a child who had just learned to speak human language and didn't even know how to read and write.
Qianqian knew that Song Keling didn't like her human self, so she suppressed her grievance and didn't cry. She just said with tears in her eyes, "Okay, okay..."
Song Keling sighed and said at the same time as her: "Forget it."
