Chapter 256 26: Good night, my friend
“My knife is not just for cutting French fries!”
High in the sky, the little soul crow is alone with the big buzzard. The fight was inextricable. After all, this guy was big enough. Even if he was cut by a sneak attack, he would still be able to fight.
The hatred between the two caused by the territory has been around for a long time. They usually gang up on each other's lone guys whenever they have the opportunity. It can be said that they have a bitter hatred.
Now the little soul crow felt that the big buzzard was being restrained by him, and a few small buzzards should not be a serious problem to the patrol envoy, so he concentrated on dealing with the enemy and tried his best to delay until his crow army arrived. If these stupid birds didn't know what to do at that time, then they would not spare any effort and continue to use the soul lamp to find opportunities to teleport behind the opponent and cut off their bird brains.
But before it put this idea into action, during the battle, it saw the patrol suddenly appear on the head of the big buzzard, its eyes were red, like a woodpecker, and its claws were firmly embedded in the big buzzard. The skin and flesh were pecked aggressively like a machine gun.
The clamping of Soul Crow's claws made it difficult for the giant buzzard to flap its wings, and its body began to stall and roll uncontrollably, making a long chirping sound in the sky.
"Destroyed, completely destroyed! Stupid bird! It's all you! I'm going to take your heart out and feed it to the fish!"
The soul crow said something that the big buzzard couldn't understand. The eyes were red, and they fell down as they were entangled, pecking and nibbling together.
The two twisted into a ball, fell onto the water with a loud bang, and quickly submerged into the waves without making much splash.
In the sky, the crow army of the little soul crows has arrived. The remaining leaderless Eurasian buzzards saw that the situation was not good and did not dare to stay any longer. They dispersed and fled for their lives.
The Little Soul Crow no longer cared about these miscellaneous birds, and flew down on a rock, looking around in the waves.
It was just that the sea was vast, and the little soul crow was not sure where the big soul crow had just landed. He could only look around anxiously, trying to direct the crows to find it.
But most of the crows never entered the sea and only dared to linger in the sky, hesitating.
Just when the little soul crow thought that the big soul crow was in danger this time, a lavender floating on the sea was grabbed by the big soul crow that broke out of the water. Then, it was covered with wounds. The big soul crow flew up with difficulty, holding a still bleeding heart in its claws.
"Boss Inspector, are you okay?" Little Soul Crow hurriedly approached to ask.
The Great Soul Crow shook his head, glanced at the roaring sea, casually discarded the heart on his claws, and said tiredly: "Take me to a safe place first."
Subsequently. Hearing the cries of the little soul crows, the crows gathered together and carried the big soul crow, which was unable to fly, towards a park somewhere in the city.
“It is absolutely safe here. All the brothers I have recruited are here. If not enough, I also know brothers from several nearby cities. I can ask them to bring all the crows over and clear out all the eagles. "Little Soul Crow looked aggressive and a little withdrawn and uneasy at the same time.
Not actively destroying the natural balance is also one of the compulsory lessons for Soul Crow.
If we get rid of those Eurasian buzzards, I don’t know if it will be considered a violation of the rules of the wise crow.
But the inspector was attacked on his own territory. This was a slap in the face. It would be too aggrieved if he didn't do something.
The Great Soul Crow remained silent, staring blankly at the dried lavender specimen in front of him.
Phaedra's father's request for it was completely screwed up. The camera was gone, and there was only one lavender left. Although it was quite beautiful, it didn't reveal anything unusual, and it was even harder to prove that it was her. The thoughts that her father left for her.
After running all the way, just as I was about to arrive, I fell short. With such an incompetence, am I really worthy of being Phaedra’s friend?
Soul Crow was a little confused.
Its mind is now full of the picture that Phaedra's father injected into it that he wanted his daughter to see. The most important thing is such a picture, but he doesn't even know such a little thing. Can't finish.
At that time, when the camera fell into the sea, it felt unprecedented despair and madness. What kind of emotion was that? It's not clear, but it's undoubtedly extremely uncomfortable and I don't know how to make up for it.
The wandering eyes looked around the park. It seemed that the place had been occupied by crows. Even though it was not yet dusk, the forest full of crows stood quietly on the treetops, as if they were blocked by sunlight. The brightness seems to be dimmed out of thin air, and the psychological pressure it brings to people is also endless, which can be seen from the few tourists.
But at the same time, because of this strange appearance, it attracted some photographers from out of town to squat here just to take a satisfactory photo.
"I have occupied this park for a long time, and I have harvested all the crows nearby, which are very useful at critical times. I also met a good human photographer. As long as I take some rare scenes for him, he can We brought a lot of French fries." Seeing that Soul Crow was focusing on the park, Little Soul Crow followed suit.
The Soul Crow did not respond immediately, and continued to look at everything around him absentmindedly. Loss and unwillingness continued to erode, and then, slowly, a glimmer of hope gradually ignited in his eyes.
"I have something that has nothing to do with my duties, and I may even be punished. Are you willing to help me?"
"Just say it! Boss Inspector, we are friends!" Xiaohun Crow didn't take the punishment from Soul Crow seriously.
Soul Crow was in a daze: "Do you understand what my friend means?"
The little soul crow tilted his head: "I have seen that many humans call the same kind of people this way. Should we soul crows be called like this too?"
"Yes, we are friends, thank you. Thank you for always "
Soul Crow lowered his head, looked at the lavender, and murmured.
A few days later, the hospital.
Phaedra raised her pale hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of Thalia's eyes, and showed a weak smile.
"Mom, Phaedra doesn't hurt."
Thalia bit her lips tightly and it hurt, so she could barely resist the urge to cry. The smile on her face was ugly, and she was choked and unable to speak. .
"Mom, can I go back to the original ward? I'm alone here, and I'm scared." Phaedra put down her hand, looked at the ceiling, and asked quietly.
“Don’t be afraid, my dear, I will always be here with you.”
Thalia held Phaedra’s hand tightly, afraid that she would also leave without saying a word. She left.
"Mom, do you think Mr. Crow will go back to that room to look for me? I'm afraid it can't find me." Phaedra was a little worried.
"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Crow is still at home. He is waiting for you to come back."
"Mom, is daddy not coming back?"
"No. Yes, he will come back. You have to get better before you can see him, you know?”
Bang bang bang.
The window was violently knocked, and Thalia turned around in shock. She could see a child shouting and jumping on the corridor window, seeming to be saying something anxiously.
"Nonsense! Whose child is this?! Do you know this is an important ward! If you scare the people inside - ah! You dare to bite me, little bastard, don't run away!"
By the time Thalia opened the door, the corridor was already a bit chaotic. "Phaedra! Phaedra! Crow, the crow is back! Don't drag me! I can leave on my own!" Seba, who was in the same ward as Phaedra before, was dragged away by a nurse whose arms were thicker than his waist. , but his mouth still shouted unyieldingly at Phaedra's ward.
The shouts entered the room tenaciously as the door opened, cheering up Phaedra, who was already a little groggy.
"Mom, mom, is it Seba? Did he just say that Mr. Crow is back?" Phaedra raised her hands as hard as she could and asked anxiously.
Thalia was a little hesitant. She couldn't quite remember the child's name, and how did the other person know about Mr. Crow? Even if Phaedra told him, he has never seen it, so how can he be sure? More importantly, the crow has long since disappeared. Did it really follow the smell and find it here?
“Honey, he might just be talking nonsense.”
“It’s not nonsense.”
The door that was half opened before closing, took advantage of Seb to attract him away. Taking advantage of the nurse's break, a girl revealed half of her body from the door. Her originally expressionless face now looked excited but didn't know how to express it. She was also Anne who was in the same ward as Phaedra before.
"Phaedra, I think that is the Mr. Crow you are talking about. It is back, and I don't know how to say it. Everyone is watching, so come quickly! That must be a gift for you."
After saying that, Annie trotted away and disappeared.
Phaedra looked at her mother with hopeful eyes. Thalia sighed and did not hide it anymore: "Mr. Crow is indeed missing, but do you think he can really find it here?"
"Mom, didn't you say that? When I think about it, it is also thinking about me. It must know where I am."
Thalia did not answer the words and carefully moved Fei Della helped her up and put on clothes that were inappropriate for the season, and then the two of them slowly walked out of the room.
The corridor now is even more chaotic than before. Some patients or nurses actually started running in the corridor and ran to the bridge connecting the two buildings. They pointed outside and talked about it. The sound of taking pictures on their mobile phones was even louder. Never stopped.
Seba and Annie, the two little patients, relied on no one to bully them, so they pushed hard to get a best viewing position, and kept saying hello to Phaedra.
"Phaedra! Come on, this is a good location!"
"What's going on with you two kids?! Where are the parents? Do you care?" Some people haven't taken any photos yet. Well, I was squeezed out of the best position. Seeing that it was two little brats, I was unwilling to accept it and wanted to take the position back.
Just as she reached out to the expressionless Anne, her taciturn and sturdy old father stood up, took hold of his hand, and stood in front of him, directly a head taller than him. , Zhuang formed a circle and stared at him expressionlessly.
".I mean, the child is still young, parents should be careful and be careful not to touch them, that's it. Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't you see any children?!"
Phaedra's breathing Somewhat hurriedly, as the crowd gradually gave way, the scene gradually unfolded in front of her eyes, and she could finally see what these people were watching.
No wonder they were so eager to watch, because this is indeed an indescribable spectacle.
Thalia, who was supporting Phaedra, kept opening her mouth wide, feeling like she was seeing an hallucination.
Look, outside the window, there is a continuous sea of purple flowers, hanging in mid-air out of thin air, covering their field of vision in this direction like a scroll, the sea of flowers is still there Swinging with the breeze, people can even smell the faint fragrance of lavender coming from the distance, giving people a wonderful feeling of being in a lavender field.
Yes, how could a sea of flowers float in the sky? When Thalia recovered from the shock and took a closer look, she discovered that the so-called sea of flowers was actually composed of birds dyed purple. , they seem to be a whole, swinging in an unusually regular manner, rising and falling, forming the lavender swaying in the wind on the high and low hills.
It is as if they have been specially trained by someone, but who can train so many birds to do such actions?
Phaedra didn't think about this, just looked at it like this, unable to speak for a long time.
This picture seems to be exactly the same as the scene she once told her father to imagine. It also seems to be the lavender field that her father took her to in her dream a few days ago.
"Your friend will bring this sea of flowers back for me." She remembered what her father said in the dream, touching her head.
Dad
In front of my eyes, a crow glided closer, holding a lavender plant in its mouth, and landed in front of Phaedra.
"Mr. Crow?"
Soul Crow didn't speak, just nodded and put the lavender on her outstretched hand.
The purple crow looks okay from a distance, but up close it looks so funny with the new feathers that have not yet grown out.
Phaedra stroked Soul Crow's feathers distressedly. This time Soul Crow did not move away, allowing the other party's gentle touch. Even if it touched a wound, it did not avoid it.
"Ahem, ladies, do you mind if I take a photo for you and this strange purple crow? I think it will be beautiful against the sea of flowers behind you."< br>
Behind me, a photographer with a crow on his shoulder approached at some point and proactively suggested.
"Excuse me, sir." Thalia did not refuse.
“It’s my pleasure.”
The photographer took a careful look at the crow next to him, took a deep breath, picked up the camera, and framed the scene in front of him.
The haggard mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the weak daughter cried with joy. The tears slid down her cheeks like pearls, crystal clear. Her hands were still holding some hanging lavender. On the side, there were the purple drops. The furry crow, holding a small blue lantern in its mouth, looked seriously at the camera, and behind them, the purple sea of flowers composed of birds that could not be ignored.
“One, two cheese.”
The picture is frozen. At least the happiness of this moment is eternally stopped in this photo. It is so similar to Phaedra’s painting. She The picture I longed for has been seen.
"Thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Crow."
"I will never forget this day, forever, no matter where I am."
"When you think of me, I am definitely thinking of you."
Cemetery.
By the time the funeral was over, it was already night.
Hun Ya carefully placed the developed photo on the corner of the tombstone and stood there for a long time.
"Good night, my friend."
It silently looked up at the spreading moonlight, but it didn't know whether there was Phaedra's eternal dream hanging on it.
