Chapter 428
When Song Ci returned home, Nuannuan had already returned from Xiaoma Yuan's house.
Xiao Ma Yuan was naturally there, and Ma Xinyue also came over, but she didn't see Ma Xinqiang, which surprised Song Ci.
Because Ma Xinyue usually follows her brother and rarely goes out to play alone.
But that's also a good thing.
But Song Ci still couldn't help but be curious.
"Where's your brother? Why didn't you come over to play with him?"
"He's doing his homework." Ma Xinyue said obediently.
"He writes so slowly." Xiao Mayuan said.
"He is an idiot." Nuannuan said.
"Ma Pangpang said, you can't call others stupid, it's very rude." Xiao Ma Yuan corrected him immediately.
"What did you say?" Nuannuan asked.
Xiao Mayuan thought for a moment and said, "Not very smart?"
Ma Xinyue was a little unhappy when she heard the two of them talking about her brother, but she was soft-tempered and did not dare to refute, so she could only stare angrily.
Fortunately, at this time, Song Ci said: "No, brother Ma Xinqiang is not stupid, but you are too smart. When you go to school in the future, you will find that everyone is the same, and you are the most special one."
Xiao Ma Yuan looked at Song Ci with a pair of big, confused eyes in confusion.
"You will know later, go and play." Song Ci sent them away.
But Nuan Nuan hugged his leg and said, "Dad, please take us out to play. It's so boring at home."
"Go out and play, where are you going to play?"
"Go outside. There is a big square where grandpa picks up the express. Let's go there to play." Nuannuan said immediately.
Song Ci suddenly realized that the place she was talking about was the activity square in the community.
There is not only a community fitness center there, but also a huge flower bed. The center of the flower bed is the symbol of the Lakeside Yunlu Community.
In the evening, there were many old people dancing in the square. In the past, Kong Yumei would sometimes dance, but since having Nuannuan, in order to take care of this little thing, she rarely goes there. In addition, it is the Spring Festival recently. , so the dance team temporarily ceased its activities.
"Have dinner. After dinner, I will take you around."
When Nuannuan heard this, she turned around and ran towards the kitchen, just when Song Ci was surprised.
But I heard Nuannuan shout loudly: "Grandma, grandma, when are we going to have dinner?"
Song Ci: ...
Song Ci kept his word. After dinner, Song Ci took the two little guys to the square.
Why there were two? It was because Ma Xinyue was a little restless before eating. In the end, Song Ci sent her back. It seemed that she still had some time to adapt.
"Dad, Daddy."
On the way to the square, Nuannuan lowered her voice and tugged on Song Ci's right hand.
As for why it is the right hand, it is because the left hand is holding Xiao Ma Yuan.
"What's wrong?" Song Ci lowered his head and asked in surprise.
I don't understand why she is so sneaky, like a thief.
"Grandpa is following us." Nuan Nuan whispered.
Song Ci glanced back, and sure enough, he saw Yun Shiqi, hands behind his back, following behind him slowly and quickly.
"Just follow, why are you so quiet?" Song Ci asked a little funny.
"I was afraid he'd hear it."
"Just hear it if you hear it. It's not something you can't tell others."
"Grandpa said it's dark, and it's very dangerous outside. There are big wild wolves and wild lions, and a child can moan every time. Why do people build houses? It's just to prevent being eaten by these big wild wolves and wild lions..."
"Grandpa must want to tell us to go back and not let us play outside."
Song Ci suddenly realized that this was the reason.
Just when he was about to explain that there were no big wild wolves or wild lions outside at night, he felt a small thing clinging tightly to his left leg. When he looked down, it was Xiao Ma Yuan holding his hand and pressing against him. His face looked scared and worried.
A pair of big eyes looked around vigilantly, in case a big wild wolf or wild lion suddenly jumped out.
Nuan Nuan also noticed this scene, smiled evilly, and then let out a whimper.
"I am the Big Bad Wolf and I want to eat a child."
Xiao Ma Yuan screamed in fright, and immediately put her head on Song Ci's lap, her body trembling.
"Hehehe, sister, you are so cowardly." Nuannuan mocked.
Song Ci also wanted to say, you are too timid, are you afraid?
And the street lights next to it were brightly lit, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
But then I thought about it, and suddenly I realized something was wrong, and I quickly bent down and hugged Xiao Ma Yuan in my arms.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid anymore. Dad Song will be by your side to protect you. No matter what kind of monster or bad guy comes, I will protect you."
Song Ci hugged her and patted her back gently.
Because Xiao Mo Yuan has the ability of super memory, he will remember everything he sees and hears in his mind without forgetting it. This kind of super memory has good and bad qualities.
The advantage is that it allows her to have super learning ability and absorb knowledge much faster than ordinary people.
The disadvantage is that you lose the ability to forget. Forgetting is not always bad.
Forgetting is sometimes a kind of self-protection for humans, such as when they encounter negative emotions such as sadness, fear, etc. It is because humans have a protective mechanism of forgetting that they can quickly get rid of these negative emotions.
The reason why Xiao Mayuan felt scared was not because of Nuan Nuan's words, but because these words brought out some fearful memories in her mind, especially at night.
Many of Xiao Ma Yuan's memories of fear basically come from night, because Zhou Fengxian, who took her away, made a living by scavenging and often returned home very late.
Even when the weather is too hot, she will choose to go out to scavenge at night. Naturally, Xiao Mayuan is left alone at home. This is where most of her fears come from.
Perhaps it was Song Ci's comforting effect that made Xiao Ma Yuan slowly calm down.
"With Father Song, I'm not afraid of anything."
She clenched her fists and used an emphatic tone, as if to cheer herself up.
"Yes, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. I'm very powerful." Song Ci said softly.
Xiao Ma Yuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, her big eyes shining brightly.
"What happened to her?"
At this time Yun Shiqi came over and asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, I just thought about some unhappy things in the past." Song Ci explained.
"Since it is in the past, let him go. Don't think so much. As long as you are happy now and in the future," Yun Shiqi said.
Xiao Mayuan didn't understand the big principles he said, but it made her happy. She understood, so she smiled at Yun Shiqi.
"Be good." Yun Shiqi touched her little head and said.
Who wouldn't like such a talented and well-behaved little girl?
Song Ci stretched out his hand to stop the two little guys, and lifted them onto his shoulders amidst the exclamations of the two little guys.
"Sit tight, let's go."
"Okay." The two little guys sat high and could see far away, and they were very excited.
"Dad, I saw it. I saw it. There were a lot of people dancing there. Hey, there were other children..." Nuannuan asked excitedly.
"Let's go..."
Song Ci carried the two little guys on his shoulders and strode forward.
"It's good to be young." Yun Shiqi said with emotion from behind.
-
"Hey, why are you alone again?"
After Nuannuan fell asleep, Song Ci went directly to Taoyuan Village, only to see Cai Jiaozi sitting alone on a stone bench under the big tree.
She was concentrating on gathering a grasshopper with incense.
Song Ci's voice startled him, and the half-finished grasshopper in his hand turned into a plume of smoke and disappeared. Then, as if conscious, the green smoke penetrated into Cai Dumpling's nostrils and disappeared. It was very strange.
"It's scary." Cai Jiaozi patted his chest, looking frightened.
"Why are you alone again? Are you lazy?"
"Hehehe..." The little guy scratched his head with a silly smile on his face.
Song Ci just said it casually, without saying anything more, but asked: "Where is Auntie Yaoyao?"
Hearing this, Cai Jiaozi immediately pointed to the hut behind him.
Song Ci looked around and saw an invisible vortex, pulling in the incense that filled the air. The rich smell of incense spread all over the hillside.
It seemed that Yun Chuyao was also practicing diligently, so he did not bother her.
Instead, he continued to ask Cai Jiaozi: "Where are the millet grains and the little butterflies?"
"Sister Mi Li went out, and Sister Little Butterfly went there." Cai Jiaozi said, pointing to Taocheng down the slope.
"Is the little butterfly going there?" Song Ci was a little surprised.
I'm curious about what the little butterfly is doing there.
Little Butterfly is not a child who likes to join in the fun, and will not run to Taocheng for no reason.
"I'm going to see friends." Cai Jiaozi said.
"Friend?" Song Ci was a little surprised when he heard this.
Little Butterfly's friend?Did they know each other before they were alive?Or did they meet after death?
However, Song Ci felt that it was more likely that he had known each other before his death.
Because of her status as a traveler, it was difficult for her to make friends with the children in Taoyuan Village.
Even Cai Jiaozi's original friends gradually drifted away after she became a traveler.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, I thought that this was due to the unequal status, or the gap formed after the leap in the level of "life", which caused the ordinary dead to gradually become alienated from the travelers.
But later, he discovered that when Xiao Mi Li and Xiao Butterfly were guiding the dead, these souls had no intention of alienating the two. Some of their peers even became friends with them.
However, when these souls were extradited to Taoyuan Village, they gradually became estranged and alienated, and finally stopped communicating with them at all.
Only then did Song Ci suddenly realize that this was a rule in Taoyuan Village, which meant that travelers should not get too close to the dead.
I don’t know what Zhu Daoheng, the owner of Taoyuan, had in mind at that time, but Song Ci vaguely understood that doing so might be a kind of protection for travelers.
So now Song Ci was very curious that Little Butterfly had a friend, so he brought the dumplings and prepared to go and have a look.
"That's a little brother." Cai Jiaozi said.
"Oh, you've seen it."
"Of course, I discovered him." Cai Jiaozi said proudly.
"You found it?"
"Yes, I was walking on the street that day, and then I saw a little brother standing in front of the toy store. I walked over and asked him to go back with me, but he ignored me..."
"Uh... what happened next?"
"I'll scare him. If he doesn't follow me, he will be captured by the evil villain."
Song Ci: ...
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart." Song Ci said helplessly.
The principle of extraditing the deceased in Taoyuan Village is that the deceased is voluntary and never forced.
Taoyuan Village is just a transit station for the dead and a temporary shelter for the dead, so the principle is whether love comes or not, it's up to you whether you want to return directly to the sea of souls or to keep wandering in the world.
Cai Jiaozi thought Song Ci was praising her, and immediately grinned in a silly manner.
"What then?"
"I came back later."
"Is this gone?"
"After sister Mi Li heard about this, she went to find him with me. It turned out that he had been waiting for his mother."
"His mother? I'm afraid it will take a long time. How did you persuade him to come back with you?" Song Ci was a little confused.
"No, his mother is in the hospital and hasn't woken up. He has to wait for his mother to leave together."
"Is that so? Is his mother sick?"
"The little brother said it was a car accident and he died. His mother never woke up in the hospital, so the little brother has been waiting for her." Cai Jiaozi said.
"And then what?"
"Later, Sister Little Butterfly came to us and found out that the little brother was her childhood friend. The little brother was very happy to see Little Butterfly and talked a lot. Sister Little Butterfly said that when his mother dies, she will also be extradited. When we arrived at Taoyuan Village, my little brother came back with us..."
Song Ci: ...
Is this true?Song Ci didn't know what to say for a while.
Does this count as a back door?If you count the back door, then this back door seems a bit...
I don’t even know how to describe it in Song poetry.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at [Peach City].
It has only been about half a month, and [Taocheng] at this time is completely different from the deserted place before. It is no exaggeration to say that it is busy with traffic.
Song Ci felt like he was back in [Fengdu] again.
I saw vendors on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of weird things, and the shops were open, making it a bustling and lively scene.
And these things sold are made of incense, so Song Ci is very curious. In this case, how do they trade with each other? Is it barter-for-thing?
But soon, Song Ci understood that they were also using banknotes.
The banknotes are also made of incense. The only difference is that these banknotes have the seal of the city lord of [Peach City].
Obviously this is a kind of banknote issued by the city lord's palace. This seal of power that represents the lord of [Peach City] is unique and special. It is completely impossible to simulate it with incense, so it is used to As a circulating anti-counterfeiting mark, it is most suitable.
Seeing this, Song Ci couldn't help but sigh. Liang Siyu managed [Taocheng] so well in a short period of time, and even issued currency. It seemed that there must be an expert behind it.
"Sister Little Butterfly." At this moment, Cai Jiaozi pointed forward with a look of surprise.
Song Ci followed her hand and saw Little Butterfly and a little boy sitting on the steps outside a mansion, holding their chins and watching the people coming and going.
Song Ci took the vegetable dumpling and walked over.
