Chapter 369
Chu Yunsheng tightened his clothes, then crouched down next to the little plant girl. He habitually reached his hand into his pocket searching for the half cigarette that Old Sun had given to him and then used the fire starter that was made by the people in this forest to light the cigarette.
“Oh, sorry, uncle, I forget that you can’t speak. But it’s okay, you can write on my leaves, sis does the same thing when she teaches me how to write Chinese.” The little plant girl reached out a big yellowish leaf and said. Perhaps she didn’t have enough nutrition, that’s why the color was like that.
Chu Yunsheng bit on the cigarette and carefully held the leaf and wrote slowly, “I also haven’t talked to anyone for a very long time.” The leaf was soft and tender like a piece of cotton cloth.
Since he became an insect, he also hadn’t chatted with any human beings like this for a very long time. The feeling of loneliness made Chu Yunsheng couldn’t refuse the little girl’s request.
Whenever Chu Yunsheng wrote something on the leaf, the leaf would emit a faint phosphorescence light forming a blurry Chinese character on it.
“Uncle, you also have a very unfortunate life, just like my sis, both of you can’t talk. But my sis was not born with it. She lost her voice because of me.” the little plant girl tilted her head and carried on.
“When I was young, I was very naughty. One day I sneaked out of the house after sis went to work. I sneaked into a place that had many Zhiwu people to play. I didn’t know that those Zhiwu people are that bad, they turned me into a lamp plant. I was very scared when I woke up because I lost my body. I cried a lot that day…”
Listening to a kid telling a story about when she was young might sound a little bit funny, but Chu Yunsheng didn’t laugh. Instead, he quietly listened to every word she said while smoking his cigarette. Other people might not be able to understand how panic and how scared the girl was when she found out that she had lost her body, but Chu Yunsheng had personally experienced almost exactly the same situation. The difference was that at that time, he was an adult who had seen and experienced many unfortunate events, but she was still a kid.
