Chapter 894 Mayfly’s wish, searching
Xiao Xiao laughed.
"You don't have to be so polite."
"Let's go."
Noticing the doubtful looks in the two cats' eyes, Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Aren't you going to take me somewhere?"
"Meow meow~"
The black cat meowed a few times, its round eyes shining brightly.
……
The cats dispersed.
On the fence, on the tree, on the trash can, the steps are light and the posture is agile.
……
The black cat and the spotted cat led the way in front of Xiao Xiao, slowly speeding up unconsciously.
However, the two cats also knew how to look back at Xiao Xiao from time to time to confirm whether the human was still following them.
……
Seeing that Xiao Xiao was always following them, the two cats started running.
The trace of eagerness in their eyes was finally revealed in their movements.
Dusk fell, and the gorgeous fire clouds reflected most of the sky.
Night is slowly approaching.
Time is running out.
……
Here-
Xiao Xiao paused. Isn't it the park where the baby was lost before?
He hasn't been here for a long time since he came here when he was looking for a baby.
……
The park in summer is just like the lush greenery and vines in my memory.
There is a faint fragrance of lotus in the air.
Revealing a slight sweetness.
……
There were almost no people in the park at this time, and it felt quite empty.
Everywhere you look, there are... wild cats.
The faint cat pupils seemed to glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He had a premonition.
The destination of this trip is almost here.
……
After running for a while, Xiao Xiao slowly slowed down.
What a familiar smell.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Are cats really psychic?
She always seems to come to him for help with monsters.
……
"Meow meow~"
The black cat and the spotted cat stopped in front of a pond, turned to look at Xiao Xiao and barked a few times, quite impatiently and urgingly.
Next to them...is there a golden bug flying?
The light golden, almost transparent body seemed to be melting into the afterglow of the setting sun.
……
Xiao Xiao took a few steps forward.
Is this...a ephemera? !
He was a little surprised.
This is really a rare monster.
Not just because it's rare.
In today's society, monsters of all kinds are rare.
It's because, as its name suggests, and as most people understand it as a "live and die" ephemera, this monster's lifespan is only a short day.
To meet it just right on this day, I have to say that it takes a lot of luck.
……
Mayfly did not dodge Xiao Xiao's approach at all.
After walking in, Xiao Xiao could distinguish the pair of almost transparent wings behind it.
Like butterfly wings.
The edges of the wings are outlined with a thin gold edge.
……
Mayfly lowered her head slightly towards Xiao Xiao.
"Hello, human."
An ethereal and illusory voice sounded in Xiao Xiao's mind.
Xiao Xiao was stunned by the strange feeling.
Is this... telepathy?
……
"Hello, Mayfly."
After retracting his somewhat distracted thoughts, Xiao Xiao looked at Mayfly.
……
"Great, you can actually see me."
Mayfly was very happy, "I thought I couldn't find it..."
"Can I ask you a favor?"
The little monster is full of expectations.
……
"If it's within your power."
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I'm willing to help."
……
"Thank you, human."
……
I don't know if it was the effect of telepathy, but Xiao Xiao felt the joy of Mayfly, and he couldn't help but deepen the smile on his lips.
……
It's not a complicated thing.
During Mayfly's long childhood, she accidentally heard about a kind of flower.
Epiphyllum.
……
Isn't the fleeting moment similar to the life and death of a mayfly? They are all equally short-lived.
……
After knowing about Epiphyllum, it wanted to see that kind of flower.
However, if it knows nothing about this world, where can it find the night-blooming cereus?
It doesn't even know what Epiphyllum looks like.
……
It flies around like a headless fly.
Watching the time passing by, I gained nothing.
When the sun was about to set, it met the black cat.
……
Xiao Xiao can roughly guess what happened next.
It was probably the black cat that started the wild cat swarm.
After the spotted cat learned about the situation, he recommended him to the black cat.
Then, these cats appeared at the door of his yard.
……
"Epiphyllum...?"
Xiao Xiao whispered.
……
"Yes."
"Human, please help me."
"I really want to meet Epiphyllum."
Mayfly's voice became more earnest.
……
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao looked at the sky and said, "How long do you have?"
Thoughtless, Mayfly answered without any hesitation, "Until the moon reaches the zenith."
……
Time is running out.
Xiao Xiao looked at the sky, which had lost some of its bright red color and became slightly darker.
……
If it were daytime, Epiphyllum would not be that hard to find.
However, at this time, the flower and bird market is also closed...
Moreover, it is not just the ephemera that mayflies should be looked at.
But the blooming epiphyllum.
The epiphyllum that happens to bloom tonight...
It probably takes a lot of effort to find this.
……
Xiao Xiao frowned and thought.
The epiphyllum that blooms tonight can only be the epiphyllum raised in someone's home.
However, there are people raising epiphyllums nearby...
He really hasn't seen it.
……
He took out his phone and sent a few messages.
Naturally, it takes a lot of people to find something.
……
"Mayfly, follow me."
Xiao Xiao called to Mayfly.
Now all he could think of was to try his luck at a nearby flower shop.
……
The mayfly flew in front of the black cat, "Thank you."
It looked around at the surrounding cats again, "Thank you."
"I'm very grateful."
"Meow meow~"
……
"Human, I'm sorry to bother you."
Mayfly flew to Xiao Xiao's face, and nodded slightly to Feifei, who looked over with half-open eyes, to show friendship.
Feifei stared at the other person for a while, then lazily closed his eyes.
……
"My name is Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao introduced himself while checking the location of the flower shop on the map.
It’s always human, human, and it’s inevitable that it sounds a bit awkward.
……
"Xiao Xiao."
Mayfly repeated the name of the human in front of her, feeling inexplicably happy.
The human beings in front of me are different.
He could see it and talk to it.
Now I am willing to help it find Epiphyllum.
He is Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao is really a good person.
……
Xiao Xiao had no idea that he had just been dealt the good guy card by a monster.
He was focusing on a map he had sketched in his mind.
Several flower shops above have been marked.
He must visit as many flower shops as possible in the shortest possible time.
If Epiphyllum can be found in his first flower shop, maybe he should try buying one if he has never bought a lottery ticket before.
But this situation is just a thought.
The fact is-
"Sorry, we don't have Epiphyllum in our store."
"Okay, thank you."
“Ding Lingling~”
Amidst the crisp sound of wind chimes, Xiao Xiao opened the door and left the flower shop.
