Death Spiral [Infinite Flow] - Chapter 187

    Lian Qiao returned to the house with honeysuckle and locked the door.

    “There are honeysuckle flowers in the yard of your welfare home?” Lian Qiao asked.

    Little Honeysuckle frowned, showing a thoughtful look. After a moment, he shook his head.

    “No? No wonder…” He seemed to remember something very interesting, and couldn’t help but rubbed Honeysuckle’s hair with a smile, “No wonder you couldn’t react when I called you Hua Hua. “

    I didn’t expect that Honeysuckle was still frowning, and her small face had the look of an adult, which looked quite contrary.

    He called “Ah, ah” twice and shook his head again.

    “Huh? What do you mean?” Lian Qiao didn’t understand.

    Honeysuckle tried to gesture to him, even Qiao thought hard for a while, but still couldn’t understand. He had to sigh and say, “Forget it, you can’t speak right now. Maybe you can speak tomorrow?”

    Little Honeysuckle sighed and nodded.

    Lian Qiao glanced at the time, it was already three in the morning. This is the most tiring time of the day for people, not to mention that they have been tossing all night, and Ren Dong has just turned one year old, and their physical strength is completely unable to keep up. At this moment, even the eyelids have begun to droop down. He carried him to the edge of the cradle and bent over to let him in.

    “Ah, ah…” Little Honeysuckle struggled slightly, her soft little hands holding onto his sleeves.

    “What’s the matter?” Lian Qiao felt his attachment, so he picked him up again, brought him closer, and rubbed the tip of his nose against his soft little face.

    “…” Little Honeysuckle raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and instead of calling, he touched his face with his small hand.

    Lian Qiao said, “Do you want to sleep with me?”

    Little Honeysuckle nodded.

    Lian Qiao was overjoyed, but remembered what the long-haired aunt had told him: the child is still young, don’t sleep with adults, or it will be easily crushed to death by the sleeping adults.

    In order to avoid pressing the little honeysuckle, Lian Qiao rolled the quilt into a long strip and stuffed it between him and the honeysuckle. In this way, even if he fell asleep and turned over unconsciously, he would at most press the quilt, and not press the honeysuckle. Unexpectedly, Honeysuckle was not happy, like a little panda, crawling over, insisting on drilling into his arms.

    Even Joe was so cute he was so cute.

    Little Honeysuckle lay quietly on his chest, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep. He was such a small, soft and warm mass that it seemed like he would get hurt with the slightest effort. Even Qiao hugged him carefully, her heart was sweet and soft, but she felt her heart tremble.

    So happy.

    Is it such a happy thing to have children?

    …No, he would feel so happy because his beloved honeysuckle was leaning against his chest.

    How can ordinary children be so good? What’s more, even if he is so good, it is not his honeysuckle.

    He doesn’t like children, he likes honeysuckle.

    Lian Qiao sighed contentedly and reached out to turn off the light. After the lights went out, the room fell into darkness, but he was not afraid at all. He only felt warm and peaceful, and even had the illusion that he had returned to reality.

    The little thing in his arms was purring like a kitten, apparently already asleep. Lian Qiao listened to the even breathing, and his heart was extremely stable.

    He couldn’t help but bow his head and kiss the little guy’s soft hair. For some reason, my mind changed, and I suddenly remembered what happened just now.

    Just now, after the hungry ghost left, there was a hint of disappointment on Little Honeysuckle’s face…

    What is he disappointed in?

    Lian Qiao frowned unconsciously in the dark.

    The situation at that time… If you want to guess, the only answer that even Joe can think of is that Ren Dong felt that too few people died.

    But how? Honeysuckle is not that kind of person.

    Although Honeysuckle looks aloof, in fact there is a kind of moral code that is almost paranoid. He’s the kind of guy who pays more attention to the spiritual world than anything else. He could not take pleasure in the suffering of others, much less be indifferent to the death of others.

    But now he is showing a “disappointed” expression after the death of five teammates.

    …Is he really disappointed because too few people died?

    Or disappointed because… someone didn’t die?

    At this point, Lian Qiao felt a little relieved. It would be better if the “disappointment” of Honeysuckle was just for one of them. I’m afraid there is something wrong with that person.

    But who? Among the players this time, do you know Ren Dong?

    …Have you seen Honeysuckle in other dungeons?

    Not true. and many more. How many dungeons has Honeysuckle experienced?

    Lian Qiao suddenly felt a little confused in her memory. He tried to recall, but there was a sudden tingling deep in his brain.

    “Hmm!”

    He gritted his teeth, covered his head, and it took a long time to recover.

    What happened? Why headache? Forget about him. Honeysuckle seems to have said that she hadn’t experienced a copy before meeting him, which means that the nesting doll was their first…

    “Woo!” This time, the pain was much worse than before. Lian Qiao was forced to interrupt his train of thought, covered his head and curled up.

    What the **** is going on here? Never before… is something growing in the brain?

    It shouldn’t be. The last time he was in the ICU, his mother took a full-body CT scan for him, and the report didn’t say that there was any problem in his head. It’s only been a month or two since I was discharged from the hospital, even cancer can’t grow so fast.

    And why did it happen in the copy…

    Hope it’s just a normal headache.

    Lian Qiao rubbed the back of his head, feeling that the burning sensation gradually subsided. He carefully put the little honeysuckle on the bed, tiptoed out of the bed, and went to the backpack to get the painkillers.

    After taking the medicine and returning to bed, he took the little honeysuckle into his arms again. Fortunately, his movements were gentle, and Ren Dong was not awakened by him.

    Feeling the little guy breathing evenly in his arms, even Joe felt a little sleepy.

    Forget it, ask again tomorrow…

    He thought in a daze, and fell asleep like this.

    In the early morning of the next day, the exhausted Lian Qiao was awakened by a crisp sound of “pop”. The sound was so close that he shivered with fright, and suddenly opened his eyes.

    It turned out that the honeysuckle split from the middle.

    Although this is the second time I see it, Lian Qiao still thinks this scene is a bit exciting. He rubbed his eyes and saw the subtitle of “1994” rising in the air, knowing that the honeysuckle had grown to two years old, and he felt another burst of joy in his heart.

    Little Honeysuckle has also woken up, looking up at him. The eyes are black and shiny, like two pills of black mercury.

    Little Honeysuckle said: “Look for…”

    Lian Qiao: “What are you looking for?”

    Honeysuckle: “…find it!”

    Lian Qiao: “?”

    He was stunned for three seconds, and then he realized that the honeysuckle was missing teeth, and his speech leaked, and he couldn’t help laughing.

    Lian Qiao wanted to check the condition of his teeth, and Honeysuckle opened his mouth obediently, letting him count how many teeth he had. When he finally finished counting, Honeysuckle closed his mouth, licked his slightly red and swollen gums, and said, “I want something to grind my teeth. No shrimp sticks.”

    “Okay, okay.” Lian Qiao squeezed his cheek with a smile, “I’ll dress you first.”

    Lian Qiao brought the little clothes and trousers prepared in advance and put them on him one by one. Xiao Rendong said: “Actually, I can make…”

    Lian Qiao: “Huh?”

    Little Honeysuckle pursed her lips, and resignedly said: “I can control myself.”

    Lian Qiao: “Hahahahaha!” It’s so cute to speak out!

    When he was laughing enough, he suddenly remembered that he had something to ask Rendong, and said: “That’s right…”

    The words just came out, but he got stuck.

    Little Honeysuckle tilted her head and looked at him inquiringly. Lian Qiao looked thoughtful, recalled for a while, scratched his head and said, “I want to ask you what…”

    Honeysuckle: “Is it about honeysuckle?”

    “Oh, yes.” Lian Qiao sat up straight and said, “Did your welfare institute collect honeysuckle and sell it for money?”

    Honeysuckle shook her head slowly: “I don’t remember such a thing.”

    “I think so too. After all, you misunderstood me because you didn’t know honeysuckle is honeysuckle, and ate your own vinegar for a long time.” Lian Qiao thought and laughed again.

    Honeysuckle frowned: “Why…”

    “Huh?”

    “Why does the copy distort reality this time?”

    “…Huh?” Lian Qiao didn’t understand. Little Honeysuckle seemed to want to explain, but when he opened his mouth, his expression became stiff, as if his mouth was filled with paste.

    He hesitated for a moment, then put it another way: “This copy basically restores my real life. Since the entire welfare home has been restored, why are you picking honeysuckle? What about lying about the details?”

    When he said this, even Joe understood: “You mean, honeysuckle, maybe it’s some kind of hint?”

    “I don’t know…” Little Honeysuckle said, a sullen look that did not match her age flashed in her eyes. He sighed lightly, shook his head and said, “Forget it, leave it alone.”

    Indeed, no further discussion will come to fruition. So the two dressed neatly and went downstairs to meet the others.

    The table is already full of hot breakfast. This time, besides other players, there were also children from the welfare home who ate with them.

    The day of picking honeysuckle is probably almost a festive event for the children. It can be seen that the children are very excited. From the children’s mouth, Lian Qiao learned that honeysuckle has only a few petals to sell for money, and the yield is very low. And it can only be picked by hand, so the surrounding pharmacies often collect medicines from the common people.

    In those days, the welfare home was very financially strapped, and the money from selling honeysuckle could improve the children’s meals, so everyone was looking forward to this day.

    Lian Qiao held the little honeysuckle on her lap, and while confirming the temperature of the millet porridge in the bowl, she asked in a low voice, “Do you know these children? Are they from the original welfare home?”

    Honeysuckle nodded.

    Lian Qiao glanced at the children and showed a thoughtful look.

    Lian Qiao just thought he was hungry, so he fed the cold millet porridge into his mouth one by one.

    After the events of last night, the rest of the players felt a little emotional about even Qiao Rendong. At this time, the two of them didn’t feel any sense of guilt, and Scarface couldn’t help but say: “What the **** did you do, why did the hungry ghost hide from you from beginning to end yesterday?”

     Even Qiao focused on feeding the baby, and said without looking up, “I don’t know.”

    See if this attitude is not going to live in harmony with them. Scarface frowned, and he was about to get angry, and the long-haired aunt and Xiao Apple on the side hurriedly pulled him.

    Scarface fell off the bowl and chopsticks and went out cursing.

    After feeding the little honeysuckle, Lian Qiao asked the long-haired aunt, “By the way, let me ask you a question. Is there anything that children eat that can be used to grind their teeth?”

    “He’s starting to grow teeth? Let me see.” The long-haired aunt smiled softly, and when she came closer, she was about to open Little Honeysuckle’s mouth.

    Little Honeysuckle was expressionless, opened her mouth and bit down hard.

    “Ouch!” The long-haired aunt was bitten by surprise. Looking at the incomplete tooth marks on her fingers, she couldn’t help laughing and crying, “Why are you biting me?”

      He likes strangers touching him too much.”

    “Oh, it’s me who should apologize.” The long-haired aunt walked over to the sink and washed her hands.

    After breakfast, the dean took the children and a group of players to start picking honeysuckle in the yard.

    In the past two days, the season was wrong, and the flowers and trees in the yard were in a state of withering. Today the seasons have changed, the temperature has returned, and all the plants in the yard have begun to flourish and become thriving.

    Lian Qiao found out that there were a lot of honeysuckle in the yard. Looking around, almost the entire yard is full of yellow and white slender petals, no wonder so many people have to gather together to pick.

    The children all carried small backpacks and started picking when they walked to the edge of the honeysuckle. Players also learned from their appearance and moved their hands. However, the dean soon came over to stop them one by one, saying that the method was wrong.

    It turns out that the honeysuckle must be picked off in its entirety to sell for a good price, so this work must be careful and careful not to damage the petals. The dean came over to check the players’ backpacks, shaking his head all the way.

    Lian Qiao glanced at his back basket, but was slightly stunned.

    In the baskets of him and honeysuckle, most of the flowers have retained long stems. That’s because Lian Qiao knew that honeysuckle must be intact in order to sell it, so when picking it, he deliberately folded some more stems to avoid hurting the petals.

    In these flowers with stems, there are a few flowers, complete honeysuckle with only flowers and no stems. The way of looking at it is exactly the same as what the Dean is teaching the players.

    “What’s wrong?” Little Honeysuckle threw a small yellow and white flower into the basket and asked back.

    “…” Lian Qiao smiled at him, “Nothing. Are you tired?”

    The author has something to say:
