Xiaolan sat up suddenly and was about to push Luo Jiutian next to him, when the door creaked open.
"Brother Jiutian, wake up quickly..."
As expected, Luo Jiutian was not something ordinary people could wake up. Xiaolan quickly gave up on him, leaning against the table and looking at the door that gradually opened.
squeak--
In the night, a figure slowly emerged.
Xiaolan lowered her gaze, and the tension in her heart was instantly reduced by half.
This person is not as tall as myself.
The door opened completely and a little girl appeared outside.
The little girl was wearing a snow-white dress and her hand was still on the door handle. She stood at the door and blinked blankly, then took steps and walked in lightly.
Xiaolan stared at the girl's big eyes and suddenly thought of something.
She turned her head and looked at the photo frame standing on one side.
Oh my god.
It's that girl!
Xiaolan opened her mouth wide and looked at the little girl who was walking slowly with her clothes trailing behind her.
She was wearing the same white robe as the other five people!
She's not dead, she's back.
Xiaolan was about to greet others, but the girl's state attracted her attention.
She has eyes.
Haven't her eyes been gouged out?
Moreover, although the girl's eyes were well set in her sockets, her eyes were as blank as a blind person.
Not only does she look like a blind person, the girl seems to have not noticed Xiaolan's existence.
"you……"
As soon as she heard Xiaolan's voice, the girl turned her head suddenly and showed a bright smile towards Xiaolan.
Xiaolan swallowed and then asked, "Are you the one..."
The girl smiled and shouted, "Mom!"
Eh?
Xiaolan was confused.
What do you mean? Are you a mother? Or...
"Mom!" The girl opened her arms and ran towards her.
No! She was really calling her mother!
Xiaolan took a half step back, half pushed and half accepted the girl's warm hug.
The little girl hugged Xiaolan's waist tightly, her voice even sounded a little crying, and she kept shouting "Mom, Mom".
It woke up Luo Jiutian.
Luo Jiutian snorted, raised his head with squinted eyes, and muttered sleepily, "Xiaoyin...are you calling?...What are you calling? Is something wrong?..."
If something happens, you will definitely be the first to die.
"Brother Jiutian, she... eh eh eh..."
"dad!"
The little girl interrupted Xiaolan's words with a joyful scream, took Xiaolan's hand, and jumped towards Luo Jiutian.
Luo Jiutian was rubbing his eyes when the little girl hugged him suddenly, scaring him so much that he stopped feeling sleepy immediately.
"Xiaolan? What's going on?!" he asked, eyes wide.
Xiaolan also showed a confused and bitter expression.
"This... you are... who are you?" Luo Jiutian took out a hand from the girl's arms and gently held up her little face, "Let me see... you! You are not..."
He also turned to look at the photo frame, and Xiaolan nodded helplessly.
"It's her."
"What's going on?" Luo Jiutian asked in a low voice while awkwardly and gently patting the girl's back.
"I don't know either," Xiaolan replied in a low voice with one hand still held by the girl, "She came in by herself, and then suddenly came in from outside."
Luo Jiutian pointed at the girl with difficulty, "Where are the eyes? What's wrong with the eyes?"
Xiaolan shrugged, "I really don't know..."
"Mom and dad," the girl suddenly said after having enough coquettishness, "you finally came back to see me."
She grabbed Xiao Lan and Luo Jiutian with both hands and said happily to them.
"Yeah." Luo Jiutian answered vaguely.
He stared into the girl's eyes, turned his head and looked at Xiaolan, and said with lip language, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Xiaolan shook her head.
"Mother?"
"Hey," Xiaolan opened her mouth and agreed, "Uh... yes, we are back."
Hearing Xiaolan's voice, the girl's eyes turned to her.
"Mom, I behaved so well."
"Um……"
Xiaolan exchanged glances with Luo Jiutian again.
This child seems to have to hear before he can see.
and……
"Come, dad asks you," Luo Jiutian asked proactively, "Why are you behaving so well?"
Sure enough, after hearing Luo Jiutian's voice, the girl's eyes moved to him again.
"I'm a good boy. I did everything according to grandpa and grandma's wishes. There's nothing wrong with me at all..."
The girl started talking nonstop, and Xiaolan thought of something. She suddenly stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of the girl's eyes a few times.
The girl's pupils were motionless.
Xiaolan opened her palm again and waved it in front of her eyes.
No response.
It seems, that's right.
The girl cannot actually see, she is blind.
"...Grandpa also said that I am very strong. Mom, even Xiao Wu and my uncle and aunt cried. I was the only one who didn't cry. I didn't feel any pain..."
Grandpa, uncles and aunts, Xiao Wu.
Xiaolan thought about it and asked, "What about grandma?"
"Grandma...Grandma cried too," the girl's eyebrows trembled, her voice suddenly became deeper, and the smile on her face disappeared, "But I know she feels sorry for us...but I really don't feel any pain!"
Luo Jiutian must have thought of the same thing. He was stunned and felt a little incredible.
"Dad, Mom," the girl squeezed their hands again and asked, "Have you found a new home?"
The two looked at each other and nodded together.
"Found it."
The girl smiled hard and said, "How is your new home?"
"good."
"Does your sister like it?"
Xiaolan choked up, then nodded meaninglessly again, "I like it."
"Then you..." the girl paused and asked, "will you forget me?"
Both of their eyes were red.
"No," Xiaolan said, "because you are our child."
The girl's smile was on her face, but Xiaolan always felt that she was crying in her heart.
The girl's hand slowly loosened, she reluctantly retracted it, stood in front of the two of them, and grinned again.
"This way, I feel relieved."
Suddenly, the air around him changed.
It was as if a thin film covering the place had dissipated, and the world in front of her suddenly became much clearer. Xiaolan blinked, and the girl's body seemed to have become transparent.
Luo Jiutian stood up.
"I just... couldn't worry about you, so I came back," the girl said intermittently, "Now... I'm relieved..."
The girl's body became mottled and dull.
At the last moment before disappearing, she reached out and took out something from her arms and handed it to the two of them.
"By the way, this is what grandpa wants to give to sister Wenling. This..."
Xiaolan reached out to pick it up.
The shadow of the thing fell in Xiaolan's palm, and in the blink of an eye, the girl completely disappeared.
Xiaolan rubbed her empty palms.
That thing is gone too.
The two heard a sob.
Turning around, Wen Ling stood at the entrance of the living room, with tears on his face.
