Li Shi has recovered more than half and is cleaning up the room in the backyard where we live these days.
"Are you leaving?" A young voice sounded outside the door.
My heart skipped a beat, why did she hear it again...
"Please wait a moment!" After saying that, she ran away quickly. After a while, he appeared at the door again, "Can I ask you a favor? My uncle asked if you could do him a favor."
Maybe these days of getting along with each other not only allowed Li Shi to recover, but also made her expressive ability much better, becoming more like a normal child.
I followed little Wen Na to the room where her uncle lived. The person lying on the bed was the father I had called him for more than ten years in that dimension. Now his lower body is paralyzed, and the place where he can move is only a few feet square of mattress.
"Are you leaving?" He raised himself from the bed with difficulty, "Can...can you do me a favor? Take her to the city."
I thought he wanted me to help with some work that required some effort, but I didn't expect that he only made such a request...
"Do your roommates need to buy anything? Just tell me and I will buy it for you."
There was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he clasped the string from the core of the pillow and took out a small bag, which was exactly the bag of diamonds I gave him before. I immediately understood what he meant! He was still thinking about the diamond, fearing that the one I gave him was fake! A kind of disgust arises from the bottom of my heart...
"Didn't you say that this one is worth a lot of money? I want to go to the city to exchange some money so that I can find someone to repair this house. Now that she is old enough, she should have her own place. Besides, look at you, He looked at Li Shi behind me, "You must know what little girls like to wear. Buy her two decent clothes..."
The contempt that had arisen just now was like a fishbone stuck in my throat...
I was like an inflated ball that suddenly deflated... This was my negligence. I only saw the hard work that Wen Na had to live here, but I kept some invisible rules and regulations and was unwilling to follow the subtle rules. Help her with small things... The weather here is dry and cold. Her little face is always red from the cold. She can't wash it clean no matter how hard she washes it. She only has two Tibetan robes that don't fit very well. She wears them back and forth. The original color was no longer visible after washing... Wen Na used to be such a beautiful person... My nose felt sore and tears almost burst out of my eyes uncontrollably... So I quickly turned around.
"Then let's go quickly. If you're late, you'll miss the bus."
Ten minutes later, we got on the shuttle bus into the city. There were not many people on the bus, but there was a lot of luggage. Some people brought Cordyceps dug by themselves to sell, and some brought lacquerware made by themselves. Li Shi and I were both wearing Tibetan robes, so we didn’t stand out among the crowd.
Although this is a county town, it's not much bigger than a village. The gold and silver utensil shops are mainly handmade shops. I haven't seen any diamonds at all, let alone a shop that accepts diamonds...
But this was within my expectation. I walked into a goldware shop. The boss was a middle-aged man with a very serious hunchback. It must have been caused by working with his head down for a long time. I took out a diamond and handed it over. .
"What do you want to make? A necklace? A ring?" He held the diamond and looked at it carefully.
"Do you accept diamonds?"
"Boss, please stop making fun of our small shop. Our shop only processes and sells, not recycles, and I don't understand diamonds..." He quickly stuffed the diamonds in his hand as if he had found a hot potato. Back into my hands.
I turned back and looked at little Wen Na standing at the door, "Then please help me tie a necklace. How long will it take to complete it?"
"Okay! Can you choose a style? If you like the cash model, you can just inlay it and it will be completed in two hours!"
"Do you have money?" Li Shi asked in a low voice.
"Money?" I have never felt that I need this thing, but now that I can't get the money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task...
"I have money! Just wait!"
Two minutes later, a handsome young man wearing a straight suit walked out of a wall at the intersection of the road.
"Sir, Yuanchu, are you looking for me?"
"Did you bring what I asked for?"
The boy nodded and handed me a card, which was exactly the one I put in the shelter before. "Whatever you want today, just pick it!"
Little Wen Na's eyes seemed to understand, but when she heard the random selection, the child's nature made her smile rarely. Even though the things she picked were all small snacks that didn't cost much at all...
When Li Shi and I left, we found an ATM. I withdrew some money and gave it to Wen Na, "Give this to your uncle and say it's money in exchange for a diamond, and this necklace. "I hung the necklace around Wen Na's neck, "Wear it carefully. If you are in danger, touch the necklace and call my name. No matter where you are, I will protect you." I poured into the necklace I want to save a part of my consciousness, so that when Wen Na is in danger, I can be pulled here without hesitation just like she once protected me...
How happy we are when we get together, how reluctant we are when we part...
"Enter the Yuan Dynasty, it's time to go..." Hariya urged.
"Take care of yourself..."
On the way out of the village, Li Shi jokingly asked me why I cared so much about this child, thinking she was my daughter living in Tibet, but I remained silent.
"In the days since you realized the seed, I have searched for the whereabouts of the Hopi tribe you mentioned and found some clues. There is an Indian tribe that is very similar to the Hopi tribe you mentioned. I think, if your predecessors If there is no problem with the transmitted information, maybe his range of activities on the earth at that time was on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean."
"But now that the international situation is so tense, how can we get there?"
What Li Shi said is indeed a problem. Although I am not restricted, I cannot take her with me unless...
"Unless we go to the Rurda people's lair again and steal their aircraft."
"..."
"Of course there is a way."
"What solution!?" Li Shi asked urgently.
"Let's go to the shelter again. I'm going to bring two little ghosts with me. They can help us."
With Haliya's help, we followed the water source and soon arrived near the shelter.
The more you are afraid of something, the more likely you are to attract it! When we entered the first security check in the shelter area, we saw that familiar commercial vehicle...
Ruard people! How quickly did they completely infiltrate the shelter!
Not only are there patrols, but there are also Ruardans wearing human skins! It seems that my last visit made them pay more attention to the shelter, and they actually sent their core force to search and check it from the first level!
"What should I do?" Li Shi also saw the Ruard man pacing around, with the tentacles on his head erect, keenly sensing everything around him!
