Chapter 74
Six-year-old Xingnuo has recently had new worries.
As a sophomore kindergarten kid, Xingnuo needs to learn a lot of knowledge. The tadpole-like Chinese characters in the books have gradually transitioned from simple to complex.
Teacher Xiao Song came over with a stack of test papers and knocked on the small blackboard in a serious tone.
"Children, we are going to have a small test today. Are you ready?"
The children in the class wailed everywhere. Xingnuo held up her snow-white cheeks, blinked her round eyes, and also sighed slightly.
Good friend Qingqing poked Xingnuo with a pen and said in a low voice:
"Xingnuo, let's hand in the papers early and go out to play!"
Yiyi was in cahoots with the others, laughing, her round apple face full of excitement.
"There are so many sunflowers planted in the small flowerbed of the kindergarten! Mom said there are salty sunflower seeds inside!"
The two people who firmly believed that there were seeds in the sunflowers tried their best to persuade Xingnuo.
Xingnuo has always been an obedient student, but——
“Are there really seeds in sunflowers?”
Yiyi nodded affirmatively: "Yes, both sweet and salty!"
So the three of them completed their conspiracy, and after getting the test papers, they began to write frantically.
Xingnuo has a solid foundation of knowledge and can do addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers very quickly. He was the first one to hand in his paper among the three.
Qingqing is usually careless. He scribbled on the test paper quickly and sloppily. After handing in the paper, he pulled Yiyi and ran out.
"Xingnuo! Let's go!"
Qingqing grabbed a little kid in each hand and ran hurriedly to the small flower bed behind the kindergarten.
Xingnuo ran behind her, the little curly hair on his forehead was blown by the wind, revealing his soft and white cheeks.
Facing the wind and the still hot autumn sun, the three children ran to the small sunflower bed.
Xingnuo wasn't feeling well. He held onto the fence of the small flower bed, panting, patting his chest, and slowly calmed down.
Qingqing didn't have this concern. She rolled up her sleeves and raised her short legs to climb into the fence.
Seeing this, Xingnuo hurriedly hugged Qingqing's little arm.
"Qingqing, this is very dangerous."
Yiyi nodded vigorously beside her. Before she could say anything, the little fat man's voice came over:
"Great! I knew you guys would sneak out to do something bad!"
The little fat boy and Xingnuo had been at odds with each other for two or three years. The little fat boy grew from a little fat boy to a big fat boy, and he would mock Xingnuo every time he saw him.
This time he caught Xingnuo's little handle. The fat boy was very proud of himself. He turned around and prepared to go back and tell the teacher.
Seeing this, Yiyi ran over and grabbed the little fat boy, pulling his clothes to prevent him from leaving.
"Don't go! We didn't do anything!"
Although Xingnuo felt guilty, he nodded vigorously, and even the little curly-haired boy was shaken by the nodding.
"us……"
Before he could finish his words, Qingqing, who was climbing the fence, exclaimed.
"Ah! What a big sunflower!"
Several children were attracted and turned their heads. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned.
The originally small and withered sunflower had somehow grown to a height of three or four meters, taller than the pine tree in front of the kindergarten gate.
The huge, round sunflower disk has sharp seeds growing on it, each one looking like it could be fired directly as a bullet.
Xingnuo's little mouth opened unconsciously, and when he turned around, he found that the small flowerbed with only a few sunflowers in the kindergarten had turned into an endless sea of sunflowers.
He stood inside with a height of five heads, but was soon submerged in the sea of sunflowers.
Qingqing's voice was still excited, she clenched her fist and shouted:
"We must have stumbled into the mysterious sunflower garden just like Xiaoya!"
Xiaoya is the heroine of a fairy tale that teacher Xiao Song told to the children a while ago. She came to a mysterious garden and met Mr. Pine Tree, Sister Swallow, the beautiful Narcissus and so on.
The child's face still has the innocence of being ignorant of the world, and his ignorant and pure eyes are full of curiosity and excitement about the magical sunflower.
Xingnuo's intuition was very accurate. He pulled the fat boy and Yiyi to his side, and also grabbed Qingqing who wanted to say hello to Sunflower.
"Let's not move, it's dangerous here."
For some reason, this sunflower garden with brightly colored flowers made Xingnuo feel dangerous from the bottom of his heart.
Qingqing laughed and patted Xingnuo's thin shoulder heartlessly.
"Xingnuo, you are too timid. What's the danger? The teacher said that flowers and grass are all our good friends!"
As she spoke, Qingqing looked up and touched the green roots and branches of the sunflower.
"Sunflower, are you the one who brought us to this place?"
When Xingnuo thought that Sunflower couldn't speak, a rustling sound was heard, and Sunflower made a clear voice like a child.
"I didn't bring you here, but welcome to our flower kingdom!"
Qingqing and Yiyi screamed immediately, clenched their fists, and their faces turned red with excitement.
"We are really just like Xiaoya! We have come to the mysterious garden!"
Even the little fat boy couldn't help but walk over curiously and touch the branches of the sunflower.
"It's a real sunflower! It's so big!"
Three little kids were jumping and skipping in front of the sunflower, asking their questions curiously.
"How come you guys are so big?"
"Is Xiaoya here too?"
"Will Sister Swallow also take away your flower seeds?"
Amidst the chatter, Xingnuo's little head was buzzing and he couldn't help but cover his ears with his hands.
When he looked up again, Xingnuo saw another scene.
The sunflower in front of me was left with only a dry rhizome, the flower disk was drooping, and the seeds were dripping with light yellow pus.
The originally sunny sunflower garden instantly turned into a dilapidated and desolate weed garden.
Xingnuo was so frightened that he let out a soft cry and couldn't help but take two steps back on his calves.
Yiyi, who was the more careful one in front, turned around and looked at Xingnuo with a tilted head in confusion.
"Xingnuo, what's wrong with you?"
After saying this, the huge sunflower disk in front of Yiyi also moved, shifting slightly in one direction and looking at Xingnuo who was covering his ears.
"Little boy, why are you covering your ears?"
The originally clear and tender voice of Sunflower became a sharp and harsh sound in Xingnuo's ears.
Xingnuo shook his head and felt dizzy.
Xingnuo put down the hands that were covering his ears, looked up again, and found that the bright and gorgeous sunflower garden appeared in front of him again.
It seemed as if everything that just happened was just Xingnuo's illusion.
Xingnuo couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound, blinked his eyes in confusion, and frowned tightly.
“How strange.”
But Xingnuo didn't say what was strange.
He always felt that if he spoke out, something bad would happen.
Seeing his three friends chatting animatedly with Sunflower, Xingnuo reached out and tugged at Qingqing, the leader, and spoke with a little uneasiness:
"Qingqing, let's go back. The teacher will look for us."
Qingqing, who had sneaked out to play, was naturally unwilling to do so. She shook her head vigorously, and her ponytail with an apple hairband was almost shaken loose.
"No, the teacher will be very angry if he knows we sneaked out! Let's just play for a while and then go back!"
Little Fatty didn't even bother to tell the teacher. He stretched out his hands, hugged the branches of the sunflower, giggled, and tried to climb onto the sunflower disk.
"Let's climb up quickly. We will definitely be able to pick the sun if we climb up!"
The sunflower smiled good-naturedly with a clear and crisp sound, and dropped the leaves on its roots, inviting a few children to come up and play.
"I'll take you up here. The view up there is very beautiful!"
The children found a leaf to sit on, pinched the edges of the sunflower leaves with their hands, and kept making loud "wow" sounds.
"Great! Can we fly later?"
"I want to sit on the flower plate!"
Xingnuo did not move. He tilted his head back and watched his three friends being moved onto the flower disk by the leaves of the sunflower. An absurd thought suddenly occurred to him.
It seems that my good friend is about to be eaten by these flowers.
Xingnuo's feet seemed to be stuck in the soil, and he didn't move at all, facing the sunflower that invited him to sit on its leaves.
Suddenly, Xingnuo remembered the flowers his father planted.
In his vague memory, the garden of the castle where he once lived was also full of bright and gorgeous flowers.
Subconsciously, Xingnuo said:
"Sunflower, do you know the roses in the castle?"
I don’t know which word touched the nerves of the sunflowers, but all the petals in the sea of sunflowers began to tremble together.
"Those queen flowers?!"
"Oh my god, how could someone bring up such a horrible thing!"
When the sunflowers collectively began to complain, the disk of the first sunflower had already been completely aimed at Xingnuo.
"Do you know the Castle Rose?"
Himawari's tone was puzzled and full of scrutiny.
Its flower disk seems to be its eyes, and countless seeds are like eyeballs, staring straight at Xingnuo.
A chill went up Xingnuo's back, but he didn't flinch. Instead, he continued to tilt his head back and narrowed his watery, clear eyes.
"Yes, those are the roses my father planted. They are very beautiful."
After saying this, the sunflower seemed to stop shaking.
All the sunflowers in the sea of flowers became silent at this moment, leaving only the rustling sound of the leaves in the wind.
The sunflower stopped in mid-air with its leaves carrying the three children, and did not bring Qingqing and the other two onto its flower disk.
Qingqing sat among the leaves, stepped on them hard and jumped twice, wondering:
"Sunflower, why aren't you moving?"
The fat boy next to him was even more destructive. He hammered the roots and leaves of the sunflower with his hands, then raised his hands on his hips and said:
"Are you broken? It's okay, I'm good at fixing things!"
Seeing the three little creatures jumping around on the leaves and causing trouble, Sunflower got angry for a moment, but then she thought of something and could only suppress her anger and said:
"Right away, let me ask your friend a few questions."
At this point, Qingqing, who was carried into the air by the leaves, could not help but grab the edge of the leaves and look down.
"Xingnuo! Why don't you come up?!"
"Xingnuo is a coward, hahaha, he doesn't dare to sit on it!"
"Xingnuo, come up, I can't see anything down there!"
Faced with the children's invitation, Sunflower's attitude changed, and her tone was full of temptation.
"Curly-haired kid, come sit up. You're so short, and we'll block the light from you from down there, so you won't be able to see anything."
Xingnuo has grown a little taller, but compared to the sunflower, he is still short like a dwarf.
Xingnuo tilted his head and suddenly asked:
"Sunflower, the roses that Dad grows won't eat children, will you?"
