What is it like to be a wizard in modern times?

Christmas is always busy and tense for the police. The activities of major shopping malls and the unique atmosphere of Christmas have caused a sharp increase in the flow of people on the street. The sweet couple is removed at a glance, which makes them nervous Security risks.

So at this time, there is no chance for them to go home happily for Christmas, especially in the jurisdiction where Li Ping and the others are located, the nearby business district is full of staff that no one can escape. , always ready to dispatch.

Li Ping gnawed on soda biscuits for dinner, and it was time to go out on patrol in 5 minutes. By this time, the Christmas party at his son's school was about to start.

At today's party, Li Anan will lead the singing of Christmas carols. He heard Li Anan practiced at home, and he sang very well, much better than his tone-deficient father.He and his wife chose the little dress for the child together. The little red silk bow tie is festive and cute. Standing on the stage must be the center of the audience.

Alas, he can only hope that his wife can record the video and show him more when he goes back.

The little Li Anan knew that he couldn't go, and he expressed his understanding to him like a little adult, and hugged his father early in the morning to give him Xiangxiang, encouraging his father to work hard to catch more bad guys, and to be a good Christmas father who punishes evil and promotes good .

Ugh……

Li Ping looked at the rehearsal video on his mobile phone to quench his thirst, and Li Anan, a kid from elementary school, also looked at the audience below twice before going on stage.

Dad didn't come, only mother waved to him with a light stick.Sitting next to her mother were Wu Xiaoya's parents. Wu Xiaoya's father was smiling with glasses on. Last time I saw him, he gave him sweets. He didn't seem to want to be someone who would do anything to his wife and children at home.

On the contrary, Wu Xiaoya's mother looked a bit uneasy, her makeup was exquisite and well-dressed, she looked at any child with cold eyes, and she seemed to have no interest in the show when she was sitting in her seat, leaning against her husband to watch her mobile phone.

To the outside world, they are all loving and harmonious. Except for Li Ping's wife who knows some inside information, the other parents have no doubts about him. The familiar parents are still joking about their good relationship as husband and wife, and envy them for having a cute and outstanding daughter.

Little did they know that when Wu Xiaoya saw her father in the background, she hiccupped in fright, her eyes were red and tears were rolling in her eyes, she was too scared to go on stage.

If she doesn't sing well, Dad will definitely beat someone when he goes back.

Li An'an grabbed Wu Xiaoya's wrist to tell her not to be afraid, feeling old-fashioned in his heart, this must be a scripture that is hard to recite in every family.

"Let's go together." Li Anan said, drawing a big cake for Wu Xiaoya vividly, "After singing, you can celebrate Christmas. You have Christmas stockings, and you will definitely get the present you want this year!"

"Whether it's a Barbie doll or a plush bunny, Santa Claus can make anything you want!"

He heard from the fairy tales read by Uncle Bancy that Santa Claus is omnipotent at Christmas, he can make orphans find their parents, and he can also make canaries in cages fly out of the high courtyard wall.

Very special!

Wu Xiaoya sniffed, hummed in a crying voice, walked onto the stage holding the hem of her skirt, and sang Christmas carols with the accompaniment. Her voice was soft and light, and she wanted to sing to people's hearts.

In the melodious Christmas song, two snowflakes fell from nowhere, gently and slowly, falling into their eyes.

If Santa Claus really existed...

Wu Xiaoya thought.

I don't want dolls, and I don't want fluffy rabbits.

Santa Claus, if you really existed...

Please make my dad disappear.

After she sang her own part, Li Anan began to sing immediately. While singing, he looked at the audience off the stage. His mother was taking a video of him. He waved to his mother and imagined what his father was doing now.

Are you catching bad guys, or patrolling the streets?

Are you like a superhero, guarding this peaceful Christmas Eve?

His dad is the best.

Li Anan proudly raised his nose, held hands with Wu Xiaoya, and sang the chorus.

He won't cry because his father didn't come like those boring aunts guessed, although he does want his father to watch him perform a little bit, but he is a child of a superhero, and he will punish evil and promote good in the future of superheroes.

Future superheroes are daddy's warm little cotton pants.

So Santa, he doesn't need any presents.

He sees his dad hiding his new Lego model in the closet, and he wants his dad's gift more than Santa's.

So if you really exist...

Please give Wu Xiaoya his gift as well, and let her have a happy Christmas.

The light in the child's eyes is bright, like the changing aurora in the extreme north, reflected in the icy lake that no one approaches.

……

"Do you want a drink?" After pouring out a bag of gifts, Rudolph pulled the sled to the next destination. Bancy sat down and took out a thermos and poured a cup of hot coffee, which attracted Shi Li's attention.

Why is it coffee again.

Shi Jiaojiao, who was determined to overthrow the bancy coffee cup, had her paws itchy a little, and she was insensitive to the terrifying existence of coffee mixed with refreshing potions.

"It's not the same as before." Bancy was very self-aware of the terrible taste of the espresso and refreshing potion he had prepared, and moved the cup towards Shilu, "Try it, it's sweet."

Usually, he always uses iced Americano, but Shili doesn't respond much when he is used to it, at most, he keeps his water glass away from his coffee mug.But recently, Bansy has been drinking coffee and refreshing potion a little aggressively, which caused Shi Lu to feel uncomfortable when he smelled coffee.

Bancy felt that he had to do something to restore Shili's terrible impression of coffee, otherwise the coffee beans in the tea room that he ordered a year in advance from the place of origin were really pitiful.

After all, it was pitiful enough for him to use it as a refreshment potion.

Fortunately, in addition to blending espresso with refreshing potions, Banci also makes other coffee drinks very well.

The coffee in the cup smells sweet, with a little bit of nutty flavor mixed with the aroma of milk. The sourness and bitterness of the coffee are diluted into a mellow fragrance that enhances the flavor, and it is warmed in the thermos for half a night.

It was the first time that Shilu saw this kind of drink that was more like a drink in Banxi's hand, and it was really boring to sit on the sled with the cold wind blowing, so he took a sip of it.

sweet.

The sweetness with thick milk flavor and hazelnut aroma, like honey, injects a terribly sweet heat into the body, and the bitter taste of coffee rubs against the base of the tongue slowly after drinking it The sourness and bitterness are more of the thick aroma of coffee.

Bancy watched Shilu Gudu sip a glass, smiled and raised the thermos cup: "Have some more?"

Shilu's face turned dark all of a sudden, causing Rudolph, who accidentally turned his head back, to tremble in a gloomy manner, and almost crashed upstairs with the sled.

No wonder they are wizards.

And, he also wants a sweet hazelnut latte.

But he wanted to run through the hundreds of energy nodes marked in Banxi's jurisdiction before twelve o'clock tonight, and he didn't even have the chance to stop for a sip of hot coffee.

Chi QAQ.

There is one thing to say, Rudolph is two heads taller than Banxi and three times stronger, the effect of a sudden sob is more terrifying than pitiful.

At this time, the clock has gradually moved towards twelve o'clock, and there are only the last few gift bags left in the sleigh. The hazelnut latte does not have a very refreshing effect. Bancy yawned a little and leaned on the gift bag Distracted.

The gift bag is full of snowflakes and light, which is soft and light when leaning on it. Banxi is wrapped in a thick woolen coat, and his eyes follow the snow and light floating in the gift bag, falling into the lights of thousands of families below. .

The eyes changed again.

Shilu squinted his eyes, and Bancy's eyes turned into the gray-green color he had seen for the first time. The hazy color was like the morning in the mountains and forests. Cyan yarn.

There was something lightly touched in the depths of his memory, and the blurred afterimage of the flowing water at the foot of the mountain flashed, shaking and flashing away in the depths of his mind.

"What's this made of?" He asked in a strange way, touching the end of Bancy's eyes with his fingertips.

"Huh...?" Bancy yawned again, dragging his weary voice, "It's a grape stone."

A gemstone with a texture between translucent and transparent, also known as the Cape of Good Hope emerald, the more common one is green, but there are also rare yellows, the energy field is calm and the adaptability to the sixth sense is very good, in many energy balances It is used in rites of divination and divination.

"Here, this is it." Bancy pulled up the sleeves of his coat, revealing the cuff buttons of the suit inside. The light gray-green color is naturally clear, very much like a green grape with its skin peeled off, exuding gentleness and tenderness. Friendly luster.

Shilu has seen this kind of grape stone in the store, and the price is not particularly expensive, especially compared to those gemstone collections in Banxi that are so expensive that people dare not check the price. I almost bought a bracelet and wore it back.

The sound of the festival is heard in the wind, and the land accepts the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of everyone in the festival, so the energy surges out in undulating waves, Shilu can't help but want to smile with it, and the mood is as light as invisible bubbles Supporting it cannot touch the ground.

He couldn't help softening his face, and nestled on the gift bag next to Bancy, planning to go back and grit his teeth and buy the bunch of presonite bracelets.

Who doesn't love a holiday.

Even the police who have to work hard to patrol the streets late at night will change their ways when they see young couples kissing under the Christmas tree, and will not disturb others.

"Tut tsk tsk." The young man sitting in Li Ping's co-pilot made a single dog's voice, "I don't see it, I don't see it."

Li Ping glanced at him, "Well, you should find one too."

This is a newcomer who just graduated this year. He was assigned to be a patrol policeman in their office, and he was recognized as a master according to the rules.The work of the police is far more than that of the church in the school. Usually, the teacher leads the newcomers in two groups, and slowly makes the young people who have just left school grow up.

Li Ping liked his little apprentice very much, and he began to recall whether there was any suitable girl to introduce to him.

"Forget it, forget it." His apprentice hastily waved his hands, dispelling the idea of ​​his master being a matchmaker for him.

You can see that a new police report came in after they said a few words, and the address was the same family that had dealt with domestic violence two days ago. It is necessary to devote limited energy to the cause of serving the people unlimitedly.

"I remember this is..."

"Ah, my son's classmate's home." Li Ping was also confused when he saw the address. Today, his son was performing on the same stage with a little girl. What a wonderful day to meet in such an awkward way. He sighed and made up his mind. No matter what, bring people back to criticize education.

The most he can do is to criticize education. The wife in that family never admits to domestic violence, and the bruises under her eyes all say that she accidentally fell.

Alas, the child is as old as his son, what a pity.

The police car drove all the way to the downstairs of the community with the lights on. Li Ping just stopped the car. Before he could get out of the car, he heard a "bang" from the roof of the car. Something heavy fell directly on their car, smashing the roof Out of the pit.

"Hey! This high-altitude parabolic is too much!" Li Ping became angry. As soon as he opened the door, he was about to go to the theory. eyes were face to face with him.

"Mom --!!!!"

The screams spread from the first floor to the top floor, straight into the sky.

The balcony door on the twentieth floor was wide open. Wu Xiaoya hugged her only bear toy and stared blankly at the missing balcony railing. The Christmas stocking was lying on the smooth floor, and the little snowman on it was smiling at her.

Her mother was lying on the side covered with blood, unable to get up and groaning in pain and weakness, the moonlight shone on Wu Xiaoya's red and swollen face, she seemed to see snowflakes and light spots dancing in the moonlight.

It could also be that she was beaten so blindly.

She couldn't hear the doorbell or the hasty knock, and it took her a long time to run to open the door.

Outside the door was the police uncle she had seen several times, the father of Li Anan in the next class.Uncle Li picked her up nervously and asked her if she was okay, where did she hurt, and asked her if she still remembered what happened just now, and why her father fell down the stairs.

happened……

Wu Xiaoya tried to answer, but she couldn't piece together a complete story in her little mind, so she could only intermittently tell Li Ping what she saw.

It was so ridiculous that Wu Xiaoya felt that she was still in a dream.

"Father drank...hit mom, and when mom didn't move, he hit me again..."

"I was so scared, so I hid everywhere... Dad stepped on my Christmas stocking and fell..."

……

"It just fell."

She saw Dad disappear over the balcony.

Like her Christmas present, dropped into a Christmas stocking.
