Zhang Xifeng stood under the eaves of the corridor for a long time before turning around and returning to the house.

The leaking places in the central room were fixed little by little, and the adults began to chat about Doggie’s family.

It was still raining outside, and the rain didn’t slow down. The mist was boundless.

The raindrops created small puddles on the ground.

Qiqi stood by the door for a moment. She pursed her lips and returned to the room to get the umbrella from the corner. “Granny, I’m going to look for brother Tiejun. I’ll be back soon!”

“Nonsense! Aren’t you afraid that the rain will wash you away?” Zhang Xifeng jumped up in fright and reached out to grab the umbrella. “If we have to look for someone, it should be Granny.”

Qiqi dodged. The road is very slippery in the rain. “If I fall when I go out, I still have Granny to take care of me. If Granny falls, Qiqi won’t be able to take care of her.”

After a pause, the child continued, “if we ask other adults to take care of me, wouldn’t we be troubling them?”

Zhang Xifeng was speechless.

“We can’t cause trouble for others, so don’t run around, Granny. Stay at home and wait for me to come back.”

After the child gave her serious instructions, her petite figure quickly rushed into the rain.

Zhang Xifeng’s old face began to Twitch. After a while, she tried to hold back her laughter and scolded, “I don’t know if she’s protecting me or angering me!”

A few old men who had heard the conversation couldn’t help but laugh. “You should be happy to have such a sensible and filial child!”

“I’ll go to the kitchen to make ginger soup and boil water. When the child comes back, she’ll take a bath, or she’ll catch a cold.”

“Alright, alright, go on. You don’t need to take care of this place.”

..

The rainwater on the ground had already formed a stream, and it was muddy. Every step he took would be covered with mud.

Qiqi clutched the handle of the umbrella tightly and walked towards the entrance of the village with difficulty.

She remembered that brother Doggie would permanently hide the best when they played hide-and-seek, and no one could find him.

Later, when they got along, he secretly shared his secret hideout with her.

At the village entrance near the foot of the mountain, in the hole of an old tree with rotten roots.

The path in that direction was usually deserted, and the road was narrow and slippery. In addition, the rain was too heavy to see. Qiqi fell twice and rolled all over in the mud.

In front of the tree hole, Qiqi saw the little boy’s figure.

Instead of hiding in the tree hole, he squatted next to it and curled up.

He didn’t move.

Qiqi didn’t call for help. She walked over and held the umbrella over the little boy’s head.

Sensing that the rain had stopped, the little boy raised his head, his eyes red and swollen.

Perhaps it was because someone had seen him in such a sorry state. The little boy was furious and shouted fiercely, “What are you doing here?!”

Qiqi pursed her lips and said softly, “Uncle-grandpa and Uncle-grandma are looking for you. Go back, brother Tiejun.”

“None of your business!” The little boy turned around and hugged himself into a ball, ignoring the doll standing beside him.

The child quieted down and did not speak again. He just tried his best to shield the little boy with the umbrella and even moved it to block the wind that was blowing in at an angle for him.

As the umbrella shifted, her petite back was exposed to the heavy rain and instantly drenched.

In the sea of consciousness, the little egg-man frowned. “Are you stupid? It’s raining so heavily. If he wants to be in the rain, just let him be. Why do you care? You’re even holding an umbrella for him!”

“Who likes to be in the rain? Brother Tiejun is just being stubborn.” The child looked at the umbrella in her hand, pursed her lips, and smiled. “He must want an umbrella now, so I came.”

“How do you know what he wants?”

“Because when I was drenched in the rain in the past, I always wished an umbrella would fly over my head.”

Under the heavy rain, the umbrella seemed particularly small.

However, the space under the umbrella was warm, which was the opposite of the cold rain.

The little egg-man’s eyes were indifferent as he looked at the child, still smiling foolishly even though he was drenched.

A moment later, an invisible barrier appeared around the little girl, isolating her from the raindrops.

[Di di di! Warning! Warning!]

[The mainframe has detected that the system is using its basic energy again. This is a serious violation. Punishment will be initiated immediately!]

At the same time, the warning sounded, and the little egg-man flew out of the sea of consciousness and floated next to the little doll’s head.

It crossed its arms and sneered smugly. “This again? You still want to electrocute me? Now that I’m flying out, I’ll see how you will make me conduct electricity on the ground!”

The same trick could make it fall for it twice, which was already considered the mainframe’s ability, and it wanted to do it a third time.

Tsk, who are you looking down on from the door’s crack?

As soon as the little egg-man’s voice fell, a Thunderbolt suddenly struck down from the dark sky. The lightning flashed and struck down in its direction with an earth-shattering momentum.

The little egg-man’s smug smile froze.

The next moment, the lightning struck its body accurately.

The White eggshell cracked, and it was instantly charred and smoking.

With a thud, Little Black Egg fell to the ground. Lying in the mud, he looked straight into the little child’s shocked and dazed eyes.

“….”

Qiqi’s little mouth opened and closed a few times before she made a sound. “Eggie, eggie, eggie? ”

The little egg-man was expressionless. “You’ve got the wrong person.”

“…..” Qiqi bent over and stretched out her trembling little hand. The ground is so dirty. “Eggie, I, I’ll pick you up first.”

“Don’t move! Let me lie down for a while!”

“But you …”

“Shut up! Close your eyes!”

The violent roar scared the little doll so much that it immediately closed its mouth and eyes.

However, she couldn’t close her ears. She heard the little egg-sized man gnashing his teeth and saying, “Unfilial son, You. Are. Ruthless!”

Qiqi, “..…”

She opened her eyes slightly and quickly picked up the motionless little black egg and put him in her pocket.

She couldn’t just leave him alone. His shell had been cracked.

“How did you manage to touch me?”

“Qiqi, what are you doing?”

Two voices rang out at the same time.

Qiqi immediately looked at Doggie, her little hand secretly covering her pocket. She was so nervous that she stuttered, “no, no, nothing. Brother Tiejun, what did you see? ”

“I saw you picking up something from the ground. What did you pick up?” The sound of thunder just now had scared Doggie. He looked up, saw Qiqi’s strange movements, and forgot to ask awkwardly.

He glanced at Qiqi’s pocket. “Why are you covering your pocket if there’s nothing? You’re so sneaky. Are you playing with me?”

“…..” Qiqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “Brother Doggie, your eyes are so ugly.”

Li Doggie choked. He and Qiqi couldn’t get along!

“I’m telling you, you can’t tell anyone about what happened today! Otherwise, I won’t play with you in the future! Did you hear me?” Gritting his teeth, Li Doggie pretended to be fierce and threatened.

Qiqi pursed her lips and laughed. “Okay, I won’t tell anyone.”

“…. Ahem, are my eyes that ugly?”

“It’s not just your eyes that are ugly. Your whole body is ugly, like a little dog drenched in the rain.”

“…..”The man and the egg fell silent.

Qiqi was very soft-spoken in the past. Her mouth was never so mean.

Could lightning have struck her?
