Chapter 1783 Saved
"Zhizhi~zhizhi~"
The child stared at the bird and said uncertainly, "Do you want me to follow you?"
Seeing the little bird nod, the child's eyes widened in surprise.
He stood up.
The bird has flown forward.
He felt anxious and chased after him with staggering steps.
"At that time, I only had a small fire in my eyes, and I didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation."
The boy lamented the incredible experience, "until I heard my mother's cry"
"I just realized that I had walked out of the house, even down the stairs, to the stairs."
To this day, he is still confused as to what happened then.
But the only thing that is certain is-
Xiao Huo saved him.
……
He still remembered his mother holding him and crying that day.
He was a little confused.
Of course, to others, he looked terrified.
He was indeed frightened.
But, otherwise, Fire's presence downplayed his fear.
That experience left him with not only fear, but also magic.
His mother's emotions infected him.
Mom also hugged him too tightly.
He could feel the shivers coming from his mother.
As he burst into tears, he temporarily forgot about Xiao Huo.
"...When I thought about it later, Xiao Huo was gone."
The boy smiled.
Although I was disappointed at that time, I was helpless.
He told his parents about Xiao Huo.
But his parents told him that it was just a hallucination in his dazed state.
How could there be a bird in the sea of fire?
Did this little bird save him?
What saved him was his own obsession with escaping.
He still remembered that his parents hugged him and praised him as a brave child.
Since his parents said so, the child quickly forgot about the bird in the sea of fire.
But...
"I saw Xiao Huo again later."
The boy squinted his eyes. The gap between the leaves above the place he just walked through was a bit large, and the sunlight shining down stung his eyes.
He took a few quick steps.
"I was pleasantly surprised."
"I thought the small fire was really just my hallucination..."
"But it happened again."
Just on an ordinary day, a spring afternoon.
He comes home from school.
Looking up inadvertently, he saw-
Xiao Huo stood beside the winter jasmine that poked out from the wall.
The beautiful sunset shines on Xiaohuo's body, and the fiery red hair shines more and more, making it almost impossible to see the winter jasmine beside it.
He couldn't help but walk into the wall.
When he got closer, he realized that Xiao Huo's body was red, but Xiao Huo's head was white.
The firelight last time and the sunset this time prevented the boy from discovering this at the first time.
The small fire illuminated by the firelight and sunset looked like the whole body was burning with flames.
Just like...a fire elf.
The boy's eyes widened.
His eyes and face were full of wonder and astonishment.
……
"It was also that time that I discovered that Xiao Huo was a monster."
Seeing the road ahead, the boy stopped and turned around.
Went back again.
"I met my classmates..."
They called his name.
When he turned to look at them, they asked him strangely: What are you looking at?
He was stranger than them.
Of course I'm watching birds.
Such a beautiful bird...
He told it like it was.
But they got even weirder looks in return.
They said: Where are the birds?
There were no birds on the fence at all.
He was stunned.
When those classmates saw this, they were all concerned and asked him what happened?
They all knew that he escaped from the fire, and the teacher also told them in class to pay more attention to their classmates. The boy asked them again seriously: Is there really no bird?
They all shook their heads, and some even said that the boy was strange.
The boy was a little flustered and at a loss.
He shook his head.
Said he was just joking.
There was really a bird before, a very beautiful bird.
But it flew away before they could come.
The weird atmosphere immediately dissipated.
The classmates all laughed.
They say boys can also joke.
Because the boy usually has the kind of temperament that rarely talks in class and is not particularly active.
The boy smiled reluctantly.
The classmates said goodbye to him and left.
The boy left too.
But soon, the boy ran back again.
He was disappointed when he saw no bird in his original position.
His shoulders slumped.
"...Zhizhi~"
This voice? !
The boy suddenly turned his head.
Then, on the other wall, he saw the fiery red bird.
The little bird stands with the setting sun behind it, almost as if it is melting into it.
The boy walked over slowly.
"You...are a monster?"
……
"...Actually, Xiao Huo is not the first monster I saw."
The boy stopped.
After the passers-by walked by, he continued, "I was only five years old when I first saw a monster."
It was such a long time ago.
But he always remembered it clearly.
"What does such a young child know?"
The boy smiled and said, "I probably scared my parents back then."
He still remembered his parents' anxiety, sighs, doubts... and sadness at that time.
"Later, my grandma told me what I should do."
In order not to worry his parents, he pretended not to see the monster.
He never gets close to monsters.
Grandma said that monsters are dangerous.
Moreover, transvestites have different paths.
It's not good to be too close to monsters.
"I once asked grandma, can grandma also see monsters?"
"But grandma shook her head."
"Later, when I was older, my grandma told me that it was my grandma's brother who saw monsters when he was a child."
"It's just that there's no comparison between then and now."
"Grandma's brother... was treated badly."
"I always remember what my grandma said. Maybe monsters are not malicious, but monsters can bring bad luck to humans who come into contact with them."
"For a long time I didn't know whether this sentence was correct or not."
"Actually, I'm very curious about monsters."
The boy pursed his lips and said, "He is a monster after all."
"I read a lot of books about monsters, as well as movies and TV series about monsters..."
"Anyone who knows me knows that I am a monster lover."
"But because of what happened to me when I was a child, my grandma's words, and maybe my own personality... I have never dared to approach them."
"Until I encountered a small fire"
"I know this sentence is wrong."
The boy shook his head, "Xiaohuo saved me."
"Without the little fire, I would be dead."
"I don't know about other monsters."
"But a small fire is different."
"Little Fire is my friend."
Therefore, when Xiao Huo disappeared again and again, he also went to find Xiao Huo again and again.
He knew that Xiao Huo had not left.
Xiao Huo was just lost.
He wants to bring Xiao Huo back.
