A mediocre little goblin's love story

He saw the fire, and understood what the dead branches were for.It just so happened that he had nothing to do, so he planned to help pick up some more.

There was a rope hanging on the wall, Xue Hong picked it up and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, planning to use it to tie branches later.

He went to the village, asked people, and found the way up the mountain.I spent almost the whole morning picking up dead branches, tied three bundles, and carried them down the mountain.

The strange thing is that he didn't find the homes of those children after wandering around for a long time, and asked several people in succession.Almost all the locals speak local dialect with a strong accent, and they are too old to speak clearly. Xue Hong can't understand it either, so he can barely understand from the strange expression on the other side's face. he.

Xue Hong had no choice but to turn around a few times with the branch on his back, not knowing where to look for it again.Suddenly, he saw the child in yellow clothes he saw at the beginning standing not far away and looking at him.

He rushed to follow and asked the child, "I've been looking for your house for a long time, can you help me lead the way? I'll give you all the firewood."

The child still didn't speak, and walked forward with his body bowed. Xue Hong had no choice but to keep up with him.

Xue Hong sent the few bundles of firewood, seeing that it was still early, he went to the mountain again.They sent it back and forth three times, but the last three times it was the silent boy who led Xue Hong the way.

When Xue Hong thought it was time to go home, Lin Yiqing was about to go crazy. He asked the villagers to bring a dog, and went to the mountain to find Xue Hong.

When the dog smelled Xue Hong's clothes, it barked and refused to leave in fright, and some even peed out of fright.The villagers were also helpless and scolded anxiously.Xiaoling was crying, but his brother tried to comfort him, and was also worried about Xue Hong.No one thought that Xue Hong would dare to go up the mountain alone at home, and even walked for a whole day without a trace.Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the other two boys didn't dare to go up the mountain, so they just refused to help and accused Xue Hong of making trouble.

When Xue Hong appeared in the courtyard, everyone was in a mess.

This was the first time Xue Hong saw Lin Yiqing's panicked expression.

"Where have you been?!"

Xue Hong didn't know the situation, he just went home when it was dark, but he didn't expect it to be so late.

Seeing that the others were fine, the villagers felt relieved and took their dogs away.

Xue Hong began to explain to Lin Yiqing, "I saw a family with only a few children at home. They were collecting firewood, and I helped them for a day. I also gave them all the money in my pocket."

After he finished speaking, he gradually realized that something was wrong. Almost everyone in the yard looked at him with terrified expressions.

Only Lin Yiqing looked normal.

Lin Yiqing pushed Xue Hong and let him enter the room, "Go and wash first."

When Xue Hong entered the room to rest, Lin Yiqing dragged the students a little further away.

Xiaoling cried even more, shaking all over.

The boy wearing glasses said hesitantly: "Xue Hongzhen gave all the money...the ones...the ghosts?"

Lin Yiqing gave him a cold look, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Everyone in the village said that those children were burned to death last winter!" one person said anxiously.

Lin Yiqing was expressionless, "It's a shame that you are still a college student, and you come here to support teaching, and you still believe in these superstitions. How do you teach students? This is what your physics department learns?"

That person was speechless by Lin Yiqing's upright speech, and he was afraid that Lin Yiqing would label him as a feudal superstition after he really went back, how many people would laugh at him!

After a while, someone said again: "Then... it may be another child in the village."

This kind of answer is easier for people to accept. Xiaoling also stopped crying, and murmured: "Xue Hong said that he helped them collect a lot of firewood and donated money. It's also considered a good deed."

Thinking of this, she felt a little comforted in her heart, she wouldn't take revenge on Xue Hong for doing something good, would she?

As soon as money was mentioned, the boy who was silenced by Lin Yiqing seemed to have finally found a chance to win back the city, and said angrily; "Who knows if it's true or not, even if you don't want to donate money, you don't need this method!"

The malice in his words was too obvious, and the others didn't look good.

Xiaoling's brother pushed him even more, "If you have the ability, go and verify it?"

As soon as he made such a move, several boys began to push and shove.Xiaoling cried again, and went to pull her brother. It took a long time for the group of people to calm down.

Lin Yiqing was so bored watching it, he didn't want to care about those people anymore, so he went to the house to look for Xue Hong.

Just like what he was worried about, Xue Hong's hearing was too good, even though they walked a little farther, Xue Hong still heard them because the noise was too loud.

At this time, Xue Hong huddled into a ball in the darkness, trembling with fear.Lin Yiqing hugged him after going to bed, "It's okay, I'm here."

"I... I didn't realize it when I looked at their eyes. Now that I think about it, it's strange to wear winter clothes."

As Xue Hong said, he got into Lin Yiqing's arms.He cried softly, feeling scared and feeling sorry for those children.

Lin Yiqing comforted him, "Even if it is a ghost, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Why didn't anyone save them?"

"I heard that there were some left-behind children in the first place. It was too cold in winter, and the fire caused a fire. It was too late to find out."

Xue Hong felt very sad, and regretted again, "I... should have left the coat to them."

"Then do you want to give them hats, clothes, and shoes? Like a little prince? That's meaningless." Lin Yiqing kissed Xue Hong in the dark, he would not let Xue Hong be someone else's happy prince .

Xue Hong was stunned, he didn't understand what prince Lin Yiqing was talking about, but he was too scared, Lin Yiqing's kiss made him feel a bit of comfort, so he went to kiss Lin Yiqing back.

That night, Xiaoling's brother didn't come back to this room to accompany his sister, and the other two boys were also afraid of getting involved with Xue Hong, so they didn't dare to come back to sleep.Only Xue Hong and Lin Yiqing were in the empty room.

Xue Hong assured Lin Yiqing over and over again that he would never get lost and never be in danger in the forest, and Lin Yiqing gradually felt relieved.

Early the next morning, Xue Hong plucked up the courage to ask Lin Yiqing to accompany him to find those children's homes.

No one was willing to go with them, and the other students expressed that they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Relying on his memory, Xue Hong led Lin Yiqing around the village a few times, and finally found a house that was smoky and pitch-black.

Lin Yiqing pulled Xue Hong and pushed open the courtyard door, but there was no one inside.Several bundles of firewood were neatly piled up under the wall, which proved that this place was indeed the place Xue Hong visited yesterday.

Xue Hong started to tremble again, and followed behind Lin Yiqing, not daring to look any further.

Lin Yiqing glanced around, and found a little red piece of paper in a pile of ashes.His eyes darkened, and his heart became clear.No one here burns real money, I'm afraid only the dead don't need it.

He took Xue Hong out and closed the courtyard door.Both of them knew that what the villagers said was true.

Lin Yiqing was silent for a while, and said to Xue Hong: "They didn't show up again, maybe it's because the money you gave them freed them. That's good, I hope they don't have to be human in their next life."

Xue Hong was puzzled, "Why don't you be a human being?"

"It's hard to be a human being. Everyone is living a life of silence and despair. It's better not to be a human being."

After hearing this, Xue Hong threw away Lin Yiqing's hand abruptly, refuted Lin Yiqing for the first time, and cried, "Nonsense! It's best to be a man!"
