伞妖
The temperature of the umbrella rose all of a sudden
Luo Qing saw the umbrella held by the girl in front, and the canopy was getting bigger and bigger. He took a few steps closer and thought: This is not right.
He stopped and gently held the handle of the umbrella in his hand.Click, it was a familiar sound, the umbrella handle was frozen, and the slender fingers gently broke the umbrella handle, and the umbrella handle broke.With another crisp sound, he broke two umbrella ribs by the way.
The purple sunset glow receded, and the evening sky was still covered with overcast clouds, and there were very few pedestrians on the road.
Hush, huh, only the sound of the rain got louder.
Luo Qing barely supported the broken umbrella with a broken umbrella handle and couldn't stand the canopy, and walked two quick steps, just as he was shoulder-to-shoulder with the girl in front, he was stopped.
"That classmate, wait." It was a girl's voice.
Luo Qing stopped in her tracks and didn't look back immediately.
The girl took the initiative to give up the umbrella, motioned Luo Qing to come in together, and said: "The rain is so fast, my umbrella is big, let's fight together."
When Luo Qing came here, he observed the situation for a month, and probably knew the way boys and girls get along in this situation, so he didn't nod immediately.
Following the example of a very gentlemanly man he had seen on TV, he said softly, "No need. It's so embarrassing. I'll go back after a few steps."
The first step is naturally to refuse and welcome.
The girl stood on tiptoe, smiled and pushed the umbrella over, and said, "You are Luo Qing, right? I am from the History Department of M University. I saw your photo on the forum."
The girl pretended to complain again, "The umbrella is very heavy." As she said that, she changed her hand to hold the umbrella, and then shook the other hand.
Luo Qing looked up and saw that the canopy was already as big as a parasol, and it was probably quite heavy.If it wasn't for the girl in front of her who was only focused on talking to him, she might have noticed the change in the umbrella.
Luo Qing took the umbrella naturally and generously, and said, "Okay. Then thank you for the umbrella. Let me get it."
In the night shrouded in darkness, the girl was petite and couldn't see her face clearly. She always raised her eyes to look at Luo Qing from time to time as she walked, and almost stepped on Luo Qing's feet several times.
The girl silently murmured in her heart: If there is no date today, it would be great if I could walk a little longer with Luo Qing.
The girl was already screaming in her heart: a man more handsome than a star is holding an umbrella for me, why no one sees me? ?
According to the way the girl said, I saw an Italian restaurant within 10 minutes of walking.
The girl turned around and took the initiative to say to Luo Qing: "Luo Qing, you are so kind. Thank you for holding the umbrella for me. Unfortunately, I have a boyfriend. I lent you this umbrella. You can return it to the Department of History tomorrow. Study room."
Luo Qing breathed a sigh of relief, she got the weird umbrella, which is very good.
However, facing the girl's words, he scratched his head a little, as if the girl on TV didn't say that, and he didn't know how to respond.
He thought for a while, and he should be able to match every sentence, so he nodded politely and said, "You're welcome. I also have a boyfriend. Thank you for your umbrella too. I'll return it to you tomorrow."
He only saw the back of the strange girl running into the store, but he didn't see the surprise on the girl's face.
On the road, Luo Qing was the only one holding this weird umbrella and continued walking. Standing in front of the signal light, he raised his head to the canopy of the umbrella and raised the corners of his mouth.
At this time, Ling Yufeng, who was sitting on the signal light, was circled by the gray sparrow several times.
"I have a boyfriend too."
Ling Yufeng heard it very clearly, he didn't dare to think about it, but he could only slam his clenched fist into the palm of the other hand, and he yelled in a low voice, "This idiot, is he crazy?"
The gray bird next to him also kept chirping, saying: "King Ling, don't be angry. Tell me, didn't you see this Luo Qing when he was still a god? He was so meddling back then Is it a silly god? The monster doesn’t look for him, he takes the initiative to look for the monster?! It’s really..."
"Shut up!" Ling Yufeng himself could scold badly, but he couldn't hear a word from Luo Luoqing.
Gray Sparrow exerted all his strength to grab Ling Yufeng who was about to jump off, and he begged bitterly: "Ling Wang, please. The girl Luo Qing was traveling with just now is an ordinary person. You can't use your demonic power with ordinary people." .”
Ling Yufeng glared at him, "I won't touch those ordinary people."
The gray bird quickly landed in Ling Yufeng's palm, and flapped its wings to prevent him from starting the fire: "King Ling, you've started a real fire now, not to mention anything else, there are still many living people down here. You can't use demonic techniques here. "Because the whole body was working hard, a tuft of white feathers on the gray bird's head trembled.
The green light is on.
The rain can no longer be heard on the canopy.
Luo Qing, who was still walking on the side of the road, stretched out his hand to try it out. At night, the rainy season moistens things silently, just a drizzle.
It seems that there is no need to open an umbrella.
Luo Qing looked up at the umbrella canopy that was as big as a sun umbrella on the beach. From the moment he took hold of this umbrella, he realized: this umbrella is weird, something is wrong.
At this moment, he was going to put away the umbrella, touched the umbrella handle, and found that the switch button on the umbrella handle was gone.
The iron umbrella handle, which was smooth just now, feels a little hot to the touch now, and it is still giggling, like an old tree branch.
on the signal light.
Seeing Luo Qing walking away, Ling Yufeng, who was about to jump off the signal light, was still wearing the overalls of the friendly courier boy, but his eyes were shining, and the pupils of his eyes turned golden. human appearance.
He continued to grin at the gray bird fiercely and cursed: "If you talk nonsense again, I will repair your tongue."
Gray Bird couldn't say no to him, and sighed secretly, he is also a demon who has been with the demon king for 300 years, so he can see clearly if there is any demon spirit nearby.
However, at this moment, he couldn't leave his body, and he didn't dare to take half a step away from the demon king who couldn't calm down.
In fact, he wasn't too worried about Luo Qing at the moment, because there were still a few ordinary people here and there on this road.
After all, as long as there is an ordinary person by his side, there is no way for a demon to let go of his courage to cast demon spells.
Luo Qing turned into the alley, and the four-story old brick house was already in sight.
The alley is very narrow, and the pedestrians on the road gradually dispersed.
When Luo Qing arrived home, the rain had completely stopped.But he couldn't put away the umbrella, so he could only hold the umbrella all the way to the front of the building.
Luo Qing had already sensed that something was wrong again.
The temperature of the umbrella handle suddenly rose, like an iron pan being stirred, it was almost hot.
The umbrella canopy swelled again visible to the naked eye.
Luo Qing under the umbrella canopy stared at the metal handle of the umbrella.
He could see clearly that the metal rod was like a rusty old iron sheet. As the temperature in his hand heated up, it changed from silver to iron gray, and the metal rod gradually cracked.
The handle of the umbrella got a little bit thicker, like an old branch, as thick as a small wrist.It was hard to hold it, but it seemed to be wrapped around Luo Qing's slender hands, and it was impossible to lose it.
There seemed to be drops of water falling in front of Tick Tack.
Is it getting bigger and still leaking?Luo Qing was a little puzzled.
When I raised my head suddenly, I saw something gushing out from the center of the canopy. The surface tension was greater than that of water, similar to oil beads, which would roll down when they slid to the edge of the canopy.
There is a dilapidated street lamp in front of the building of the old house, which can be illuminated vaguely.
With the help of the street lamp, Luo Qing could see clearly that the liquid that flowed to the ground merged into streams, and it turned out to be crimson.
is blood? !Luo Qing stretched out her hand to catch a drop, held it in her palm, and took it to her nose and sniffed it: the smell was pungent.
At this time, the canopy was not only enlarged horizontally, but more like a jellyfish that was swallowing, as if it wanted to wrap Luo Qing inside.
The bullfinch that landed on the old locust tree could no longer see Luo Qing's face, and before it had time to react, the canopy of the umbrella had already covered Luo Qing's knees.
The gray bird's face was grayer than the gray feather's wings. Without hesitation, he jumped off the old locust tree in an instant, and Ling Yufeng stood behind him when he turned around.
"King Ling! This umbrella demon..." Gray Bird was about to speak.
Ling Yufeng put his index finger to his mouth: Shhh!
Luo Qing could no longer see the outside clearly, the canopy of the umbrella was getting lower and lower, and it was pitch black inside, and from time to time bursts of eerie laughter came out from between the ribs of the umbrella.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Already walking into the building, a few steps to the left is the door of the house, Luo Qing still held a squid-shaped umbrella that was about to be closed and kicked open the door.
"Brother Ling, Brother Ling! You can't step over!" Gray Bird landed on Ling Yufeng's shoulder and pulled him back vigorously.
Ling Yufeng kicked over, directly breaking the boundary of the gray bird cloth, and the gray bird lay on its belly in front of the building.
But he still struggled and shouted at the top of his voice, "Brother Ling, the building exploded as soon as you stepped in. There are many living people living here. Luo Qing is also a living person."
"That idiot, is he blind? Why did he find out that something was wrong and bring that ugly monster home?!" Ling Yufeng was really angry, and sparks spewed out as he spoke, and fell to the ground and directly ignited a stone.
The gray sparrow jumped around and flapped its wings to help him extinguish the sparks, saying: "Brother Ling, please control it. I guess that umbrella demon just wants to keep Luo Qing in it for steaming. It wants Luo Shen Khan, no would be so eager to kill. I'll go to the window."
Luo Qing kicked the door open just now, and now she feels a little distressed that she has to change the lock again and spend money.
He entered the house with a strange squid-shaped umbrella and closed the door.
Luo Qing turned on the light in the room, and then raised her hand to lift up the umbrella that had been closing inward with force, thinking: If you can clean up the dirty things on you, this high-tech product can be used as a warm umbrella. The stick is still good.
However, the umbrella handle, which was still hot outside just now, is simply not a qualified hand warmer, and it has cooled down a little bit every minute.
The crimson liquid that was still dripping down also fell to the ground with a clanging sound, turning into small pink hailstones, rolling down to Luo Qing's feet one by one.
Before he raised his hand to open the canopy, the canopy had already shrunk by itself.
Luo Qing didn't understand it when she held it in her hand, but the strange umbrella that had a strange function just now has returned to the normal blue umbrella in the morning.
He didn't use any strength in his hands, and the umbrella, which couldn't be closed just now, has shrunk like a wilted leaf.
The blue color faded away, and it turned out to be just an umbrella made of oiled paper. The umbrella handle was really a broken tree branch. Unfortunately, before it could be completely closed, the whole umbrella was frozen.It was frozen solid, like a specimen in an ice sculpture, and could no longer move.
Luo Qing casually threw the oil-paper umbrella that was frozen into a popsicle into the trash can, and sighed: "Hey, I have to return two umbrellas tomorrow."
Ling Yufeng, who was outside the window, turned around and glared at the gray bird.
Gray Bird quickly waved his hand, sweating from fright: No, no, no, he doesn't need to pay it back.
Seeing that the gray bird didn't move, Ling Yufeng said in a deep voice: "Why are you standing still, go and take out that umbrella demon, I'll pump its liver."
