Chapter 46 The Story of Firefly Grass(1/2)
Chen Yan didn't say anything, took his broom and walked away.
Neither the employer nor anyone else participated in this topic. Chen Yan was just a nanny. It would not be good if the conversation continued.
On a rainy day, the missing child.
Just one thing worth remembering on this day.
There was another thing that Chen Yan remembered, that was after the card game ended.
The employer entered the locked room for the first time.
Although Chen Yan was very curious, she did not take a peek to see what her employer was doing there.
Because it is always safest not to know anything.
In this world, everyone has secrets, and these secrets are hidden in their hearts.
You can tell others yourself.
However, it must not be spied on by others.
Chen Yanjue's secret was locked in the room in his employer's house.
As for what is inside, it can only remain at the level of imagination.
A single older man, a locked room, and no other woman has ever been in the house.
So guess what is locked in the room?
(Hehe, if anyone can guess this place, I can grant you a small wish, a super small wish.)
Chen Yanjue's portrait may be the portrait of a woman.
The person I once loved died on a rainy day, and in order not to miss her, I took all her things to a room and locked them up.
However, even so, there is still no way to forget her...
So you will think of her on rainy days?
When Chen Yan got off work, the rain outside still didn't stop.
Chen Yan brought an umbrella, so he wouldn't get his clothes wet.
After leaving his employer's home, Chen Yan waited for a bus at the bus stop.
It won't be too much trouble to take the bus back.
Because the bus can go directly to the dividing line between Luoying City and Qinghe Town.
If you get off the bus there, Chen Yan only needs to walk for about ten minutes to reach his rental house.
On rainy days, there seem to be fewer people taking the bus. On weekdays, there are very few people taking the bus.
Now only Chen Yan and the driver are left.
There is also a benefit when there are few people, and that is peace and quiet.
Chen Yan was sitting on the bus and couldn't help but think of what the man in the hat said today.
Regarding the missing child, Chen Yan could only feel sorry and sigh.
...
Chen Beibei got off work relatively late, so when Chen Yan came home, Chen Beibei was not at home.
"Firefly grass, three-tailed fox, lantern ghost, I'm back..."
The lantern ghost floated quietly above the heads of Yingcao and the three-tailed fox, watching the two of them play games.
The Lantern Ghost has no hands, so even if Firefly and the Three-tailed Fox want to play with it, it can't play with them.
So here, we are not trying to isolate the Lantern Ghost.
"Chen Yan, good..."
"Sister Chen Yan, good..."
"Huh, little master Chen Yan, okay..."
Two monsters and one ghost greeted Chen Yan.
The owl outside the window is no longer on the tree today.
Maybe it's because of the rain.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Chen Yan looked at them and asked them.
"Sister Chen Yan, we have already eaten. The three-tailed fox ordered takeout for us."
Yingcao said while playing the game.
The second Guhuo bird will soon reach six stars...
"Yingcao, have you been playing games all this time?"
"Oh, yes."
"If you keep playing, it's not good for your eyes, so take a rest."
"We are monsters, not humans, so it's okay."
Yingcao doesn't intend to stop now, after all, Guhuo Bird doesn't have six stars yet.
"Yingcao, by the way, can you tell me a story about your past?"
Chen Yan looked at the firefly and asked it.
Chen Beibei has already told Chen Yan that monsters have obsessions.
So they have to understand the stories of monsters, understand their obsessions, and then guide them to the right path.
"My story? I used to be a piece of grass."
Yingcao said calmly.
"But you must be a different kind of grass, right?"
"There's nothing different about me. I look the same as other grasses."
The firefly obviously didn't understand Chen Yan's question. Of course, it's possible that it really felt that there was no difference between itself and other grasses.
"Then when you were still a grass, what were you afraid of? Or, what did you want?"
Chen Yan changed the way he asked the question.
"Are you afraid? Of course you are afraid of being eaten. Or being stepped on by a cow...then you will die, right?"
Yingcao recalled what happened in the past. At that time, she was still a grass.
There is a group of rabbits that always come here to eat their own kind.
I am afraid.
The rabbit can move freely, but it cannot move on its own.
What's even more frightening is that he still has no way to resist.
His own kind are slowly being eaten in front of him.
"Are you just afraid of being eaten?"
Chen Yan continued to ask.
Chen Yan felt that he was just afraid of being eaten. Such obsession shouldn't be enough to turn a piece of grass into a monster, right?
Just like many people are afraid of death, many animals are also afraid of death.
But isn’t he just dead?
Yingcao didn't answer. It didn't know why it became a monster.
Maybe he was destined to be a monster as soon as he was born.
...
At around nine o'clock, Chen Beibei also went home.
At this time, Chen Yan was already asleep, but the two monsters and the lantern ghost were still awake.
"Yingcao, are you still playing?"
Chen Beibei's voice sounded, and Yingcao and Three-tailed Fox looked up.
"Master, you are back..."
"Well, how about it? Has Guhuoniao been promoted to six stars?"
"It's still a little short, but it should be fine tonight."
Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei and said calmly.
Chen Beibei went to take a bath and planned to go to bed. He was really tired today.
To be continued...
