Chapter 337 Monster or God?
Fang Mingwan and Cui Lan'er sat in Shen Li's space, amazed.
"My dear, Sister Li, you actually have a place like this to hide in," Cui Lan'er stroked the things on the shelf and exclaimed repeatedly, "I was wondering how you could just disappear when you were fighting the Queen in the palace. Hehe, the Queen didn't know what happened until she died. Sister Li, you are amazing!"
Fang Mingwan also nodded repeatedly, "Cousin, who else have you brought in here?"
"Uncle, the Emperor, the old Prime Minister, Marquis Guanyong, cousin," Shen Li said, "and... Xiao Chenze."
"Has Xiao Chenze been here too? Did he say you were a monster?" Cui Lan'er said quickly, "I've never heard of such a thing. Sister Li, if you let so many people know, what if they think you're a monster?"
Shen Li couldn't help but laugh, touched her hair, and said, "Why must it be a monster? Why don't you think I'm a god?"
Fang Mingwan was also confused. After hearing this, she looked at Cui Lan'er and said, "Yes, why can't it be a fairy? My cousin is so good, she can't be a monster."
"Gods don't eat," Cui Lan'er argued confidently. "Sister Li eats more than anyone else. How could there be such a god? Besides, monsters aren't necessarily all bad. There are some good ones too."
"But the monsters in the books are not good. They drink human blood and eat human flesh, and even peel off human skin and wear it on themselves..."
"No, what's written in the books is wrong. Monsters are just like people, there are good ones and bad ones," Cui Lan'er argued for the monsters. "Look at me, I often go to the mountains to dig weeds and look for insects. What kind of strange things have I not seen? I even see yellow foxes and little foxes frequently."
"They can understand what I say and bow. I don't yell at them, and I even give them food. They hide and watch me dig for worms. After a while, they see what's going on and turn around to help me dig. I'm not lying to you. I didn't tell you when I came back because I was afraid you'd think I was crazy and talking nonsense. But the worms they dig are really good, better than anything I could find myself. This is their way of repaying me for feeding them. You see, even little demons like this understand human nature, let alone big demons..."
As soon as she looked up and saw Shen Li, she quickly covered her mouth.
No, the more you talk about it, the more biased it becomes.
It's as if I've already determined that Sister Li is a big monster. How is that possible?
What they were worried about was whether Xiao Chenze would misunderstand Sister Li in the same way.
Fang Mingwan was left speechless by her remarks. With her mouth half open, she murmured after a moment, "What you said seems to make sense."
Shen Li stroked his forehead.
What kind of weird things are going on in the minds of these two silly girls all day long?
"I'm not a monster, nor am I a fairy," she laughed out loud at the two girls' amusement. "This place we're in now wasn't created by me. This place is called..."
She was at a loss for words and had no way to explain.
"I once rode in a flying machine," Shen Li said, "which is similar to what we are in now..."
Her thoughts drifted far away.
"That machine is called an airplane. It can hold many people. It can transport people from one place to another at an extremely fast speed."
Flying chicken?
Can there be a person in the belly?
The two girls looked up and imagined themselves in the belly of an oversized chicken, and couldn't help shivering.
"Cousin, is the flying chicken you mentioned the same as the cage we are in now?" Fang Mingwan asked stupidly.
Shen Li smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's different. Mine... uh, mine isn't as big, but it's faster than that one. That one doesn't have so many things in it. This one is mostly seats, rows and rows of people."
Not knowing whether they really understood or pretended to understand, Fang Mingwan and Cui Lan'er said "oh".
"Then... Sister Li, how will those people get out after we get there? Will that flying chicken pull people out from its butt like laying eggs? Ouch, it would be so smelly." Cui Lan'er wrinkled her nose, looking as if she smelled something.
Shen Li then realized that they were talking about flying chickens instead of airplanes, and couldn't help laughing.
"It's not a chicken, not the kind that clucks," she laughed, trying to explain. "It's a machine. A flying machine. It's huge, as big as several houses and as tall as a tree. To get in, you have to climb stairs."
Cui Lan'er and Fang Mingwan were even more confused after hearing this. "A machine that big? As big as a house? How can it fly? Sister Li, you said you've ridden one before. Where did you ride it? Is there such a machine in Mizhou? Can we take a ride on it this time when we go there?"
Shen Li shook her head helplessly.
"There's none in Mizhou, and I've never sat in Mizhou before. Forget it," she led the girls to the front of the mist and pointed. "Look outside, or you won't be able to see anything when I'm no longer here."
Cui Lan'er excitedly approached the fog, but Fang Mingwan sensed something was wrong and looked up at Shen Li in confusion, "Cousin, where are you going?"
Shen Li was stunned. "I'm not going anywhere. I mean... uh, I have to go to other countries in a few days. The emperor and others will be there, so you two definitely won't be able to go, so there won't be anything exciting to watch."
At this moment, Cui Lan'er excitedly turned around and pulled Fang Mingwan, shouting, "Come and see, look at the carriage on the road, it's not running as fast as us."
The two girls quickly put their faces forward, watching and chattering excitedly.
The curiosity about seeing new things diverted their debate on whether Shen Li was a human or a monster. Shen Li sat quietly in the back and prepared tea and snacks for them.
Before she came here, she had endless tasks to do every day and had no time to spend more time with her comrades. As a result, she only felt regretful when recalling many things after she came here.
This time, she hopes that before she leaves, she will have the opportunity to create some warm memories with those who truly care about her.
If people stay in warm times for a long time, they will become softer.
Her eyes were a little hot.
The warmth brought to her by the people here is just like the warmth brought to her by the aunts in the welfare home in that world. It is another type of love and growth.
"Come and try this dessert," Shen Li opened the box and took out the cake she had prepared in advance. The sweet smell instantly filled the whole space. "I have never given this to anyone else. You two are the first ones to get it."
As if to cooperate with her, Cui Lan'er's stomach growled twice.
Fang Mingwan smiled and pushed her, "Hurry up, or your stomach will rebel if you don't eat."
The two of them left the mist with a smile on their faces. When they were still a few steps away, Cui Lan'er exclaimed, "Wow, what kind of snack is this? Why does it smell so good? It's so big."
