At dusk in the summer, the rays of light in the sky gradually become less dazzling.
Little Lingling, who had been crying pitifully, finally stopped crying.
Sophia saw that the little one had stopped crying, but she did not stop singing. She changed the tune, as if she wanted to mix the fear, loneliness and worry she had experienced during this period into the song.
She submerged most of her body in the lake, turned her back to Lingling and the others, and continued to chant.
The singing is like the drifting morning mist, implying a faint sadness that cannot be ignored.
Listening to Sophia's singing, Lingling, who had just been shocked, was a little unable to react for a while.
Curled up in Blue's arms, he stared blankly at Sophia in the lake.
Her black eyelashes were long and thick, with tears on them. Her watery eyes were now misty, which made people feel pity.
"Uncle Bai, why? Are there bad guys in this world?"
Bai Jiu felt sorry for his precious child and soothed her gently, "Baby, there are always bad guys everywhere. But Lingling, you have to believe that you are no longer alone. We will all protect you. Besides, you are very powerful now and have the strength to defeat the bad guys."
If Sophia hadn't acted quickly just now, he would have wanted to break through the system's constraints and directly project a three-dimensional image to comfort Lingling. He would not hesitate even if it scared others or he was punished.
Fortunately, fortunately, baby is fine.
The little guy sniffed, looked at Ashley and Blue who had anxious faces, and then looked at the little sister who had just sang to comfort him.
"Uncle Bai, Lingling knows. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Baby! You never have to say sorry to your uncle." Bai Jiu was so moved that the system energy was running around in the system space.
After talking to Uncle Bai, Lingling immediately said to the two old tree people: "Grandpa and grandma, Lingling is fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Nenen's voice is a little hoarse.
Hearing Lingling's baby voice become hoarse from crying, Blue felt heartbroken and quickly took out a cup of spiritual liquid from his pocket and gave it to Lingling. He carried it with him just in case.
"Baby, don't be sorry. Grandpa and grandma just feel sorry for you. Don't cry like this anymore. Look, your voice is hoarse from crying. Come, drink the spiritual liquid to moisten your throat."
Lingling stretched out her little hand and obediently took the spiritual liquid without refusing. She opened the bamboo cup and drank two sips, then passed some to grandpa and grandma as usual.
She did not make a fuss about giving it to the mermaid sister because her brothers told her that it was a treasure of the tree people and could not be given to others easily.
After drinking the spiritual liquid, Lingling, who felt warm all over, regained her energy and spirit. She handed the bamboo cup back to Blue and gestured for Blue to put her down.
She trotted towards the lake, remembering what the adults had said and not getting too close.
The little girl said in a sweet voice to Sister Sophia, "Little sister, don't cry, Lingling will help you get home."
After the recitation, Sophia, who was feeling sad alone, hurriedly caught the pearls that had turned into tears. She swung her tail twice, turned around, and said with a red smile, "Thank you, little cutie~"
Her mental strength was extraordinary, and she could clearly feel Lingling's emotions when she cried.
She was crying about what happened to her and felt sorry for her.
Sophia clenched the pearls in her hand, thought for a moment, and then reached out to Lingling.
Her hands were as delicate as jade, with elegant lines. In the palms of her white and tender hands were three light blue pearls with a soft luster, giving people a mysterious and charming feeling.
Lingling opened her mouth slightly and then exclaimed loudly in praise.
"Wow! So beautiful~ Is this for Lingling? It's very beautiful, just like me, hehe~"
"No, I'm giving it to the little cutie. Cute pearls should be paired with cute children." Sophia smiled with relief and gentleness.
She had been caught and beaten before, but she didn't shed a single tear and would never allow herself to yield to those disgusting people. But for this kind-hearted child, she was very willing.
Ashley and Blue looked at each other on the shore.
Lingling didn't know, but they knew very well that, except for the white pearls used for trading, the mermaids' pearls of other colors could only be given voluntarily by the mermaids. If they were forced to give them, they would rather destroy them than give them.
It seems that my child is really lovable~
Lingling put her hands behind her back and shook her head in panic: "Lingling, you can't have it. This is my sister's pearl."
The little guy has been well educated and will not easily accept gifts from strangers unless allowed by his family.
Sophia raised her light blue eyebrows and looked at the two tree people behind Lingling.
"Two tree elders, I don't have anything else on me right now. I hope you can let the little cutie accept my welcome gift, just as a gift from an older sister to a younger sister, okay?"
All the jewelry of some value on her had been taken away by those hateful people in exchange for money, and the only things she could give to the little guy were these blue pearls.
These pearls can calm the mind, and she thinks they are very suitable for little Tuanzi.
Ashley and Blue did not refuse Sophia's kindness.
Ashley said to Lingling, "Lingling, this is a meeting gift from your sister. Please accept it. It's okay."
Hearing what her grandma said, Lingling twisted her little hands behind her back, and finally reached out to take the pearl from Sophia's hand.
"Thank you, sister. Lingling, I'll bring you a gift next time. Lingling forgot to bring a gift for you."
The little guy learned and applied it on the spot, and actually understood the meaning of the meeting gift without any instruction. He was a little annoyed that he had not thought of it.
Sophia smiled beautifully, and all the bad emotions in her heart were dispelled by Lingling. She reached out and rubbed Lingling's soft hair.
She smiled happily and said, "Okay~ Then I'll wait for Lingling's gift~"
Lingling nodded her little head frantically, indicating that she would definitely remember it.
......
The two old tree people just stood silently on the shore, listening to the little guy chatting with Sophia.
From how many meals a day he eats, how many brothers he has, how many grandparents he has, to asking what fun things are there in the sea and what dangers are there...
We talked about all sorts of things, and Sophia was always patient.
It was only when Ashley realized that it was really getting late that she made up her mind to interrupt them.
Ashley went forward and picked up Lingling, who had changed from sitting to lying down, and said to Sophia, "It's getting late, and it's not safe in the forest at night. We'll go back first and come see you later. Take care of yourself."
Sophia nodded gently. Even though she was reluctant to leave Lingling, she still said goodbye to her for Lingling's safety.
Lingling also knew that it was getting late, so she was held obediently and stretched out her little hand to say goodbye to Sophia.
"Sister, take good care of yourself. Lingling will come to see you again! There's also a gift for you!"
Seeing that she still remembered the gift, Sophia smiled again, her smile gentle.
"Okay~ I'm looking forward to it, bye"
The two sisters said goodbye reluctantly, and Ashley and Blue also set off on their journey home.
