The Heartless Mage Chapter 206: Time (1)

The big owl came home in the early hours of the morning. He folded his wings and landed on the second-floor windowsill. He squeezed into the room through a narrow window. He arched the window sash into a tight fit, and he flapped his wings and landed on the broken coat rack by the window. There was a book on the ground in the room, and the pages were slowly turning by themselves. A feather flickered, and he let out a low growl in comfort, knowing that it was Bai Liuli reading.

Bai Liuli didn't look up, she was fascinated by the reading. A snow-white hand suddenly passed in front of him, and he found Wuxin walked in at some point.

Wu Xin has not eaten for a week, her black eyes are sunken in the big sockets, her nose and chin are abnormally sharp. He flipped through the English book in his hand, but he couldn't understand it, and put it back in front of Bai Liuli as it was.

"I'm hungry." He slowly turned around to support the wall, and staggered to the outhouse: "I'm going out to find something to eat."

Bai Liuli doesn't care much about him now. Boredom lowered his head, he continued to read.

Wu Xin wore a pair of suede shoes from the black market and went out against the cold wind. The city is big and there are many markets, there is always a place where he can eat with empty hands and white wolves. Before Su Tao joined the army, they had a total of more than 100 yuan left. Su Tao said that he had nowhere to spend money in the barracks, so he only took a fraction of the money and gave him the rest. He was reluctant to spend it, because the three-month deadline had not yet expired, and he didn't know whether Su Tao could stay in the military camp. If he was really bullied in the military camp, he thought, he would have to take Su Tao with him.

He left the door empty-handed at six or seven o'clock in the morning, and came back at about nine o'clock with a small snowflake in his hand, with a small vegetable basket of unknown origin in his hand. When he entered the door, he coughed a few times, trying to cough out the cold air in his body. He closed the door and entered the back room. Although the back room was not good, there was a ghost and a goblin entrenched in it, which always made him feel that he was not alone. Putting the vegetable basket on the ground, he also sat down with his butt. Lifting up the large frozen cabbage leaves covered by the vegetable basket, he took out three red-skinned eggs from it. Bai Liuli stretched her head and looked inward, and found that there was still a very tender meat bone hidden in the basket.

Inadvertently weighing the egg in his hand, the first thing he thought was that it was nutritious and should be reserved for Taotao, and then he realized that Taotao was no longer with him, and he didn't need to keep it when he got delicious food in the future. .

Knock the egg against the wall, he raised his head, and directly beat the egg white and yolk into his mouth. He lowered his head and shut his mouth and swallowed the egg. He took out the large piece of meat and bones from the basket. The salesperson of the state-run butcher shop must have no idea how this piece of meat disappeared, because he didn't even stop in front of the meat stall. No one knows how fast his hands are, he can even catch squirrels and hares with his bare hands.

Looking at the meat and bones for a while, he was stunned again - adding a few bowls of water can make a good pot of soup, enough for Tao Tao to drink several times.

With Su Tao, he is not afraid of hard work or trouble, and is willing to live a complicated and tedious life; when Su Tao is not there, he only appreciates the flowers he makes, so what's the point of doing it or not? His teeth clenched the fresh flesh and tore it down, and a touch of blood rubbed against his lips. While chewing and looking out the window, the snow fell more and more urgently. He only hoped that it would not be too cold this winter.

A piece of meat bone was mottled by inadvertently gnawing. After sucking the last bit of oil and water, he raised his bone and threw it forward, hitting the big owl on the coat rack. The big owl was dozing off, was attacked by surprise, and immediately fell to the ground. He flapped his wings hastily and flew up to the windowsill, he opened his eyes for unknown reasons, and saw Wuxin staring at him, the lower half of his face covered with blood. A heart turned somersaults in his chest, the big owl was so frightened that its claws softened, and it slid off the edge of the window sill on the spot, and fell to the ground with a "coo dong" and turned into a little boy with a bare bottom. An English book suddenly flew into the air, and Bai Liuli, who was extremely bored, was amused by him, and threw the book with joy.

The big owl didn't know how he became a little boy. His sharp beak and claws disappeared. He opened his mouth in horror, revealing a sharp bird tongue: "Howl!"

Bai Liuli laughed more and more after hearing his cry. Wuxin followed him to laugh, but suddenly stopped laughing, turned to Bai Liuli and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Liuli raised her finger and pointed at the big owl, laughing back and forth: "He really looks like you!"

Wuxin thought about it for a while, but didn't think there was anything funny about it. However, he had long believed that there was something wrong with Bai Liuli's brain, so he didn't know the other party in general at this moment. He got up and walked in front of the trembling little boy, he touched the other side's black hair, then squatted down with his back to him: "Come up!"

The little boy opened his arms and the two thin arms failed to move his body. Realizing that he was now in human form, he jumped forward without any control, and suddenly jumped into Wuxin's hands.

Unintentionally carrying the little boy on his back, he walked back and forth inside and outside the house. He stopped in front of Bai Liuli, he lowered his head and asked, "Is that what being a father is like?"

Bai Liuli raised her head: "I don't know. My son hasn't grown up, and I haven't carried him on my back."

Wu Xin changed the question: "Do I look like a father?"

Bai Liuli looked at the blood on his face and felt that he was unusual today: "It's not like that."

Inadvertently supported the little boy on his back: "Call me Dad."

Bai Liuli floated backward inexplicably: "Dad?"

Wuxin sighed impatiently: "I didn't talk to you, I asked him to call me dad! How can I, how can I raise a product like you?"

Bai Liuli opened her mouth and blinked her blue eyes at him. After a while, she finally said, "First, he can't speak; second, do you want to be beaten?"

Wuxin didn't want to be beaten, especially because there was a mountain of books in the back room, so Bai Liuli had plenty of weapons. Carrying the little boy to the outhouse, he fled and complained: "I really can't live with you guys!"

Bai Liuli ignored him, because he felt that he was a poor man and ran away after a dozen, which was really worthless.

Inadvertently found an old clothes worn by Su Tao from the backpack and put it on the little boy. Carrying the little boy out the door, he continued to pretend to be a father and bought pen and paper from a small store a street away. When he came back despite the light snow, the little boy was so cold that there was no heat.

He put the little boy next to Bai Liuli, then spread out the pen and paper on the floor of the outhouse, knelt on the ground and started writing to Su Tao. Bai Liuli heard that there was no movement outside for a long time, so she couldn't help looking through the wall, only to see Wuxin holding a long colorful pencil, her **** pouted higher than her head. Holding his face in one hand, he tilted his head and pursed his lips, frowning his eyebrows as he wrote, as if he was ready to cry at any time.

The little boy stuck his head out of the door and peeked. After taking a look, he retracted his head, and squatted firmly with his arms in his arms, thinking that Wuxin was terrible.

Wuxin poked on the ground for more than an hour and wrote a long letter. In the afternoon, he went out and dropped the letter into the mailbox, and he walked to the Dongfanghong department store alone. He hadn't written a letter to anyone for many years, and he didn't know if he had written it correctly and whether the letter could reach the military camp where Su Tao was. It is not a long-term solution to always walk around in and out of the store. The revolutionary masses are everywhere, and they all have their eyes sharpened. If someone with good deeds questioned him, maybe something happened. Wuxin wandered back and forth along the street, knowing in his heart that it was a good thing that he was in vain, and if it was really broad daylight waiting for Su Tao to come, it would be bad.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he went home and went to the vegetable market with his small vegetable basket. The state-run vegetable market is very large, and when it’s close to the end of get off work, it is crowded with people, and you have to work hard to buy anything. Wuxin dipped east and west in the crowd, brushing his sleeves over the cooked food stall, and he staggered in front of a stack of big steamed buns. In the winter, vegetables were scarce. He stood up straight while holding a stack of Chinese cabbage. When he retracted his hand and carried the basket, the surface of the basket was covered tightly with cabbage leaves.

He came home with a dirty vegetable basket, but no one at home paid him any attention. Bai Liuli and the big owl who looked like a little boy stuck their heads out from the door of the back room together, and saw Wuxin sitting cross-legged beside the heating pipe, clipping pig ears into the hot steamed buns that were broken open. Now he has let go of his hands and feet to be a thief. It turned out that in front of Su Tao, he always wanted to be a good example. What does Su Tao know? What if I learn from him and become a Snitch?

He still misses Su Tao. The combination of hot steamed buns and pig ears makes his heart aches. If Su Tao could eat such a meal before, even if it was a good meal, it would be a good meal. Twice.
