Chapter 18 Beautiful Creatures in the Red Maple
Ruan Rou's death did not cause much shock, but was just the most common traffic accident.
A few sighs and a few swear words to the unscrupulous driver were all the ripples.
However, compared with other people who heard the news, Xiao Xiao’s feelings were naturally deeper.
......
He should have had a chance to save this girl.
This thought always lingers in his mind, causing him toss and turn, and there is a faint sense of fatigue and gloom between his eyebrows.
He discovered the monster that possessed the girl, and he even fought with the monster.
However, this can only aggravate his current annoyance and reluctance.
The traces of guilt were like maggots on the bones. In rationality, Xiao Xiao knew that even though he had some adventures and even if his body had some changes, he had not become a superman, and he was still an ordinary person. With such a result, he had no choice but to accept it. He had to admit that he was helpless and powerless.
However, emotionally, negative emotions inevitably made him feel cold in his limbs and felt a sense of suffocation in his heart.
A feeling that cannot be vented makes people feel uncomfortable.
He knew that he was a little stuck in the horns.
Even if I know, I can't get rid of this state for a while.
This is a living life!
...
"Brother Third, what's wrong with you these days? Is there something wrong with you?" Zhao Luzheng looked worried.
"Yes, third brother, you have almost become a gloomy otaku these days. Come and tell me, I will enlighten you." Zhuge Yun put his arms around Xiao Xiao's shoulders, showing a bit of a heart-to-heart talk with his elders, but his overly exaggerated expression only makes people feel out of tune.
"Is there anyone who is blindly bullying you? Third brother, who is so brave and doesn't want to live anymore, right?" The boss clashed with his fists, looking like he wanted to fight. His tall and strong figure was quite intimidating.
Xiao Xiao was a little amused and a little warm.
"I'm fine."
"It's just that I haven't figured out some things recently."
"Hmm? Then have you figured it out now?"
"I figured it out."
Xiao Xiao curled his lips and smiled, the haze between his eyebrows dissipated, leaving only a clear and clear look.
He has never been a person who blames himself, and the entanglements of these few days have been enough.
He never likes to be sad about spring and autumn, and blame others.
It's over this point, and no matter how much he thinks, it will be useless.
He has always believed in one sentence: if you are prosperous, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be safe.
All he can do is to do is to do his job and to obey the destiny of heaven.
...
In November, there is a place that has to be visited in Yanjing, which is Xiangshan Park in the western suburbs.
At this time, Xiangshan, the red maples all over the mountains were as bright as the morning glow, in full swing, dyeing half of the sky red.
Walking on the mountain road, looking around, the forests are dyed, and the frost leaves are redder than the February flowers.
...
Today is weekend, and it is another year of maple viewing season. Even though the sky is slightly clear and the cold air has not yet dissipated, Xiangshan is already crowded with tourists and crowds.
Although such a scene has lost the quiet atmosphere of the maple forest, it is quite lively and joyful.
...
Xiao Xiao is from Yanjing. Since his parents brought him to Xiangshan for the first time, he fell in love with the red maple here.
Later, every year, he would come to Xiangshan to enjoy the maple.
This time I heard that he was coming to Xiangshan, and people from non-Yanjing were not from Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng responded positively and followed them together.
They have also admired the red maple of Xiangshan for a long time.
At this moment, the maple forest is like a sea, and I feel dizzy and dazzling, and my eyes and heart are full of bright red.
...
Even though he had come many times, Xiao Xiao still felt that the scenery in front of him was pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't help but walk slowly and appreciate it carefully.
Maple leaves have extremely delicate outlines different from ordinary leaves.
It is always easy for people to think of the word "beauty".
Unlike beautiful flowers, beautiful maple leaves have a unique and elegant beauty. Even if they have such bright red colors, they do not have a trace of vulgarity, but instead exudes a bit of chilly and rugged beauty.
......
Hum? Xiao Xiao's stretched eyebrows and eyes suddenly twitched.
What's this?
The maple tree in front of me is growing very well, with layers of maple leaves covering the crisscrossing branches, with a dark red and light red color.
But what the hell is this one with the same color as the maple leaf and hanging in front of him, like a tail?
Xiao Xiao almost subconsciously wanted to reach out and clench it.
Xiao Xiao raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the blue beak.
A little green in the red bushes is simply not more eye-catching.
Xiao Xiao looked through the branches and leaves before he saw the full picture of this unknown creature.
Uh, it's a bit like... a pheasant bird?
The whole body is as red as a red maple, but the beak is blue. A tail that is obviously several times longer than the body is hanging lazily, shaking gently with a little carelessness.
This is a very beautiful creature.
Xiao Xiao looked at the birds on the branches in a daze.
The other party seemed to have some awareness, but suddenly, Xiao Xiao was caught off guard and faced with a pair of round black bean eyes.
Hey, it is rare that a monster's eyes were not red. Xiao Xiao thought blankly, and stared at the black bean eyes, and the air stagnated for a moment.
......
Obviously, this is another monster.
The aura of monsters is becoming more and more familiar to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was almost numb to the fact that he always encountered all kinds of monsters in his life.
However, it is also a bird, this one is much more pleasing than Qinyuan. Moreover, Xiao Xiao sniffed it with his nose and did not smell any bad smell. I don’t know if it is in the maple forest, but he only felt that this monster was filled with the fragrance of maple leaves, which was a clean, clear and pleasant smell.
...
"Lao San, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Bo, who was walking forward, turned around casually, but found something wrong with the third child. He looked up along the third child's raised gaze. Naturally, he saw nothing but maple leaves, and he couldn't help but wonder: Isn't it just maple leaves?
Zhuge Yun walked straight to Xiao Xiao's side with a few steps, his neck was about to break, and he couldn't see what Xiao Xiao's focus was before.
“Isn’t there nothing?”
"Three, be honest and lenient, resist and be strict. What were you looking at just now?" Zhuge Yun said while looking at him unwillingly.
"Three brother, are you tired?" Zhao Luzheng was not surprised by Xiao Xiao's dazedness. He was just staring at a tree, which was nothing wrong.
"Ah, I'm fine." Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze that was stalemate on the unknown creature, swept his lightly gaze over the long red tail, and turned to Zhang Bo and others.
"I just think this maple tree is particularly beautiful."
"Hey, really?"
"I think it's almost the same?"
“Is this one really particularly beautiful?”
