A Genius and a God Fell In Love

The child held his head and twisted around happily.

The other children hurriedly came up to observe curiously, and even touched his nose cautiously.

Seeing that the nose was firmly glued, I clapped my hands happily again.

Nangong Nan looked around the room and counted the number of people.

There are a hundred people in all sizes, which is the same as the number of beds.

She thought about how there were only traces of the elders' lives in the village, while there were only young people and children in this dilapidated house.

She didn't find the children's current clothes and items in the villagers' homes. Is it because they were all moved up the mountain?

Why do young people leave their villages and live in the mountains?

She also took a look at the cemetery outside the village.

Most of the couples were buried together, and the ages on the tombstones were almost all middle-aged and elderly.

In other words, there are no graves of these young people there.

The big house was obviously a temporary residence.

Or is it that when something big happens in the village, the elders send their children and young children to the mountains for refuge?

Nangong Nan thought for a long time.

Suddenly he turned around and said, Aren't you leaving yet?

Kid, are you chasing me?

The restorer pushed up his glasses, and the crystal clear lenses were a bit dazzling in the blue light.

Nangong Nan coughed lightly and said in a thin voice, You were always coming and going in a hurry before. I thought you were very busy.

The restorer straightened his robes and said in a gentle voice, I'm not busy. I'm just bored and looking for something to do.

Nangong Nan: ...

She took a plum from her pocket.

He waved towards the ghosts.

Is Li Erni here? These are the plums I picked from your yard. You probably haven't eaten them in many years.

A little girl of eight or nine years old rushed out from the crowd.

I'm Li Erni, give me the plums. These are the plums grown by my grandfather. Woohoo~ I haven't eaten them in years.

The little girl's cry was high-pitched and very unpleasant to hear.

Nangong Nan felt a headache when he heard it. It was not a feeling, but a real headache.

She rubbed her forehead, held the plums in her hand and said, I brought you plums, how do you want to repay me?

Um?

The girl stopped crying and choked with pure eyes, What do you want in return?

Nangong Nan said: It's very simple. You just need to answer a few questions from me.

The girl smiled happily after hearing that she only answered a few questions. Okay, then you can ask.

Nangong Nan said: Why did you leave the village and live here?

My parents sent me here and said it was safe here.

What happened after you came here? Why didn't your parents come?

Li Erni pursed her lips and said, They can't come.

Why?

I don't know, I haven't seen my parents for a long time, and they don't come to see me either, wuwuwu~

Don't cry.

Nangong Nan stuffed plums into her mouth to stop her crying.

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly opened her mouth wide, like the big-mouthed monster she met on the mountain before, and swallowed the plum in one mouthful.

After he finished, he smacked his lips and said, It's so sweet~ I want it more, I want it more.

Nangong Nan said: If you want it, you must answer the question seriously.

You are so verbose, I don't know anything, give me my plums, you thief, you are a thief.

Li Erni burst into tears.

The cry was loud.

The blue phosphorus fire suddenly grew larger and smaller in the glass cover, flickering continuously.

Don't cry, if you cry again I will eat the last plum.

Don't eat it!

Li Erni was angry, and her expression suddenly changed, becoming very fierce.

He stared at her with his two eyes, opening and closing his mouth, Give it to me, it belongs to me, you thief, give it back to me!

Nangong Nan was calm, holding the plum and playing with it, I hate disobedient children the most.

After saying click, he took a bite of the sweet plum.

Li Erni was stunned.

You, you, you really ate it?

Do you think I lied to you? The girl took another bite slowly, The plums your grandpa grew are so sweet.

That's my family's, my family's.

The little girl suddenly sat on the ground and cried loudly, You thief, you ate my last plum, wuwuwu~

Nangong Nan suddenly said: Wait a minute, there seems to be another one in my pocket.

Li Erni immediately stopped crying and looked at her with tearful eyes.

Nangong Nan looked into her hopeful eyes and took out a red plum.

The little girl jumped up happily and reached out to get it.

Nangong Nanzi turned around and said, I'll answer all your questions. Can it be done?

The little girl pursed her lips and stared at her with her cold black eyes.

Nangong Nan was not afraid and said expressionlessly: Do you agree or not? This is the last plum. Look at my pockets.

Li Erni sniffed and said, You ask, I'll just answer.

So good.

Nangong Nan played with Li Zi and said, A lot of people died in the village, right?

Yes, my good friend Daniel is dead, wuwuwu~

If you dare to cry again, I will eat the plums.

The little girl was successfully threatened and sobbed that she did not dare to cry.

Nangong Nan said: The people who died are all people under the age of seventeen or eighteen, right?

I don't know. Anyway, many brothers and sisters died.

Sister Big Niu is also dead, and the little slugs are all dead... Grandpa Gao said they were contaminated, so my parents quickly sent me to the mountain.

Nangong Nan narrowed his eyes, Pollution? Those who were polluted were young people and children, and those who were not polluted were sent to the mountains.

I see.

Lizi, I want Lizi, you can't keep your word.

Nangong Nan said: Last question, why are you afraid of fire?

She picked up the lantern at hand and moved it closer to the ghosts.

They retreated subconsciously.

Nangong Nan chuckled, looked at the white paper lantern and said, Tell me, why are you afraid of fire?

From the moment she came in, she noticed that these little devils were hiding from the lanterns intentionally or unintentionally.

Very strange.

After the ghosts appeared, the kerosene lamp turned into a will-o'-the-wisp.

But the old woman's white paper lantern remained unchanged. She looked at the flame pattern on the lantern with some thoughts in her eyes.

Li Erni said: I hate fire, I hate fire, give me the plums quickly, give them to me!

Nangong Nan threw it in front of her, and the girl opened her big mouth to catch it.

After eating it in two or three mouthfuls, I swallowed even the core.

Nangong Nan rubbed the lantern pole unconsciously with her fingers, thinking.

These children don’t know how they died or that their parents are no longer here.

And fire...why are they afraid of fire, and why don't they know what happens next?

It was a bit uncomfortable to sit in one position for a long time. Nangong Nan moved his buttocks and accidentally touched the clothes of the person next to him.

She made a movement and said, Why didn't you say anything? I almost forgot that you were still here.

The restorer sat upright, his light golden robes shining like a statue in a temple.

Looking at all the conditions and creatures in the world with a peaceful face.

He said: It doesn't matter, I think you are also fascinated by it.

Nangong Nan: ...
