Chapter 27 The Dark Book After Shen Dinghai comforted Xiaotuanzi, he said in a gentle tone: "Cousin, did you bring that book down from the mountain?" Ran Ran nodded, "Because I like it very much, Ran Ran keeps it with me." Shen Dinghai frowned in embarrassment. "We all know that this book will have some bad influence on you, cousin, so should we give the book to our parents for safekeeping?" "Or just throw it away?" Hearing this, Ran Ran subconsciously clutched the strap of the small cloth bag tightly, "Ran Ran won't look at it again, can you not throw it away?" No matter how smart Ran Ran is, he is still a child after all. It is hard for Shen Dinghai to imagine the self-control of a child. But he decided to speak first to appease Ran Ran. "Then if my cousin doesn't want to throw it away, once this matter with eldest brother is over, my cousin will go home immediately and give the book to my parents." I don't know which word in this sentence irritated Ran Ran, and her eye circles immediately turned red.
"You can't leave it to your parents." Shen Dinghai had a headache, thinking that no matter how well-behaved a child is, he would still have such unreasonable moments. "Why can't you leave it to your parents? Isn't my cousin still reluctant to part with it?" Unexpectedly, he slowly shook his head, with tears in his eyes, like a handful of fine diamonds scattered in the sky. "I'm willing to give it to my parents, but I can't give it to my parents." These words confused Shen Dinghai. He tried his best to speak patiently, "Why is this?" As a result, Ran Ran stopped talking. After holding it in for a long time, she just looked at Shen Dinghai with tears in her eyes and said, "I can't leave it to my parents anyway." Shen Dinghai immediately felt that Ran Ran was cheating. After all, she just couldn't bear to part with that evil book, and now she was starting to fool him. This is not a good habit. Shen Dinghai thought that he could not let this behavior go unchecked, so his face darkened. "There are only two solutions. Cousin, if you don't agree with this, then you can only throw it away." "Don't throw it away, this book is very good! Ran Ran. Ran Ran doesn't know why it has such a strange influence, but this book has really stayed with Ran Ran for a long time!" Shen Dinghai choked. He thought it was just a book, but now it has become a childhood partner. “How can I accompany a book, since it can’t speak?” Ran Ran said anxiously: "He can talk. He told me when we first met that his name is Wu Ning." Shen Dinghai was helpless. The feeling of powerlessness that he couldn't cope with the child welled up in his heart. "It's normal to write the author's signature on the first page, but that doesn't mean you can speak." Shen Dinghai looked into Ran Ran's eyes and tried to reason with her. "Cousin, the book won't introduce itself to you." Ran Ran couldn't argue, "Wu Ning's name was not written on the first page from the beginning, it only appeared after Ran Ran opened it." "Like white smoke coming together, he said to Ran Ran, 'My name is Wu Ning'."
Shen Dinghai did not expect this direction, "Cousin, do you mean that book is alive?!" Ran Ran also thought about it, "You can't say that, because Ran Ran once accidentally dropped the book to the ground." "Wu Ning did not show up and tell Ran Ran that he was in pain." Shen Dinghai took a breath of air. Ran Ran didn't mean that she had other interactions with the person named Wu Ning in the book. "Let me take a moment." Plots from fantasy movies kept flashing through Shen Dinghai's mind. It's not unusual for books to talk. Even forks and teapots can talk! A lonely little princess encounters a talking book. She is attracted by the soul imprisoned in the book, and the two gradually become good friends who talk about everything. So this evil book is really my cousin’s little friend? ! "Okay, I agree with the statement on the first page that he was introducing himself to his cousin." Shen Dinghai paused and said cautiously. "Cousin, do you usually talk to this guy named Wu Ning a lot?" Ran Ran shook her head, "He hardly chats. Ran Ran can count the number of times Wu Ning appears with just a few fingers. He doesn't seem to like talking." Shen Dinghai thought in his heart that he was very lucky. If Wu Ning showed up a few more times, he might lead his kind and lovely cousin astray. Ran Ran squeezed the small cloth bag tightly with her two little hands, "But Ran Ran knows that Wu Ning lives in the book, that's enough." No wonder my cousin is so protective of that evil book. Lonely children will hold on tightly even if they only have a little companionship. Shen Dinghai couldn't say anything wrong about the book anymore, so he could only look at Ran Ran in frustration. "I can understand that Wu Ning is like a friend to you, cousin, but friends are also divided into good friends and bad friends. Associating with bad friends will only make you worse and worse, cousin." "Cousin, don't you want to be a kind child?" Ran Ran's eyes were like sparkling river water flashing, "Of course Ran Ran will be a kind child." Shen Dinghai lowered his voice even more gently, "But we already know that Wu Ning cannot be considered a good friend." He saw the look of grievance and struggle on Ran Ran's face, and his heart felt like many sharp thorns were being stabbed into it. "Okay, let's not discuss how to treat Wu Ning first. Cousin, can you take out the book and show it to me first?" Shen Dinghai felt even softer when he saw Ran Ran nodding towards him with trust. A dark book was pulled out of a small cloth bag. Shen Dinghai couldn't even spare the energy to marvel at how magical Ran Ran's little cloth bag was. What seemed like a palm-sized place could actually take out a book that was twice as big as Ran Ran's head. The book looked heavy. Ran Ran held it in her arms, but even looking at it was a bit difficult. The dark cover, dark pages, and the ominous atmosphere exuding from the whole book completely took away Shen Dinghai's mind. Why on earth would my cousin pick up this kind of book that looks very unlucky at first glance and treat the people in it as good friends? ! If it were him, he would only run as far as he can! Seeing that Ran Ran was struggling to hold it, Shen Dinghai stretched out his hand to take it, "Cousin, let me hold it for you. I will also study the contents inside." Ran Ran handed him the book as promised. What was unexpected was that as soon as the book arrived in Shen Dinghai's hand, it immediately seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and fell to Shen Dinghai's knees. Ran Ran was shocked and quickly reached out to catch the book, so that Shen Dinghai would not be crushed to death by a book.
Although Shen Dinghai escaped everything, he was still frightened and couldn't help but gasp, "Oh my God!" "Is this a book?! Or a mountain?!" (End of this chapter)
