Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 344 The Secret of the Treasure Flower (Part 1)

As Lyon swayed, the carriage carrying the Lyon family passed Luka, entered Sequoia Avenue, and drove all the way deeper.

When the two little guys were standing on the edge of the car window, looking at the two giant redwood trees that were a hundred meters high in amazement, Leon also saw the familiar figure of Senior Emma at the door of Baohua Manor.

Holding a little guy in one hand, he took William and Melanie out of the carriage. They looked at a little girl wearing a plain-colored woolen skirt with almost no decorations, holding the hand of a little girl walking on the street. Looking at senior Emma who was smiling at him quietly, Leon felt inexplicably more at peace in his heart.

"Sorry, we're a little late."

"It's not too late. Ellie and I just came out not long ago."

Looking at the two little guys holding Leon's hands, one on the left and one on the right, looking at her daughter curiously, Emma couldn't help but smile, and then gently squeezed the palm of her hand, nervously trying to make a fist. little palm.

"Ellie, say hello to Uncle Leon."

After nodding obediently, the little girl wearing a wide-brimmed soft hat for children and a woolen skirt of the same color timidly said:

"Hello Uncle Leon, hello Aunt Anna, and... hello you too."

The little girl's voice is very nice. Not only is it as clear and sweet as the wind chimes under the eaves in summer, but there is also a soft and waxy little milky sound at the end of the words. Just listening to her voice makes you feel that she is a very gentle child.

However, compared to her warm and soft voice, the little girl's outfit is a bit "unapproachable". The cuffs and hem of the woolen skirt seem to have been specially lengthened, covering her wrists and shoes. Strictly.

Even the collar embroidered with a few small flowers stood up, hiding the tip of the baby's chin firmly behind it. The face was already blocked a lot by the wide brim of the hat, and he also wore a pair of hooded hats that were not very transparent. Big glasses and a fair little face are almost hidden.

This kid... seems a little afraid of light?

After looking at the little girl's palm held by Senior Emma, ​​and finding that she was also wearing a pair of exquisite little gloves, Leon raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, then let go of his hand and squatted down, smiling and saying:

"Hello to you, Ellie, happy birthday to you."

"Thank you Uncle Leon..."

When Leon took the initiative to squat down and look at himself levelly, the little girl, who seemed to seldom communicate with others, instinctively took a step back and hid half of her body behind Emma's skirt.

But after hearing Leon's strong but not forceful voice and seeing his gentle eyes with a touch of love, little Ellie's fear suddenly dissipated for the most part, and she even took another half step forward without knowing it. .

this?

Emma couldn't help but have a look of surprise in her eyes when she found that the little hand in her palm was no longer tense, and even pulled out slightly, as if she wanted to lead her closer to Leon.

Ellie doesn't seem to resist contact with Leon?

…

[Trusted Brother (Bronze): Due to the early death of your parents at home, you took on the responsibility very early...and are deeply loved by your younger siblings at home]

[Wearing effect: When talking to minors who are younger than you, the other party will easily develop a sense of trust in you, and when emotionally excited, it is easy to trigger the special state "confidence" to tell you the distress and secrets in the heart]

Sure enough, Senior Emma's daughter had too little contact with other people and was indeed a little shy. She was right to switch out the badge in advance.

After looking at little Ellie's eyes through the lenses and confirming that most of the fear and strangeness in them had disappeared, Leon couldn't help but smile, then waved to William and Melanie, and asked them to come and say "Sister Ellie" "say hello.

First of all, having a [trustworthy brother] as a foundation, the nervousness and fear in my heart were eliminated. Secondly, I met two socially awkward fans of the same age at once, and my mood quickly became lively. Little Ellie, who was originally not very good at dealing with others, quickly overcame the unfamiliarity between them and got to play with the two devils from the Lyon family. She even generously took off her glasses and lent them to curious people. Melanie tried it on.

My guess was correct, Senior Emma’s daughter was “problematic.”

Although neither child noticed it, after little Ellie took off her glasses, Leon, who had been paying attention to her, keenly noticed that when more sunlight fell on her skin, her body became slightly more transparent. .

Even though the degree of change is not big, it is just equivalent to changing from a completely opaque real body to a 99.9% opaque level, but the illusory and erratic feeling cannot be faked. She is definitely not a "normal" child.

Before little Ellie took off her glasses, Emma, ​​who was talking to Anna, bit her lower lip slightly, as if she wanted to stop her, but in the end she didn't speak, allowing her daughter's abnormality to be exposed in front of Leon. Ellie's soft hat fell off while playing, and when it was about to be directly hit by the sun, she stretched out her hand to gently hold it up.

"Miss Anna, can you do me a favor?"

Looking at her daughter, who was laughing and dancing happily in the sun. She had never been so "live". Emma's eyes were half loving and half guilty. She couldn't bear to look away for a moment, but in the end she tried to look back. , and asked Anna:

"Can you please help take care of them? I have something to tell Leon, please."

"Sister Emma, ​​you don't have to be so polite."

Faced with her savior, Anna naturally would not refuse. She took the three children who were playing, walked far around the execution platform next to the redwood tree, and entered Baohua Manor along the main road.

Emma, ​​who had something to say, lagged half a step behind, walked to Leon, who also had something to ask, and whispered with lowered eyebrows:

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"I'm sorry...Leon, I didn't tell you about Ellie's situation before."

"It doesn't matter."

After shaking his head slightly, Leon replied softly:

"Senior Emma, ​​in addition to ordering a gift for little Ellie yesterday, I also went to find a friend from the police department and took the liberty to ask her to help me check the Baohua family's household registration records and some files from that year. .

So I can roughly understand how you feel. It’s not that you don’t want to tell me, it’s just that every time you want to bring up the original incident, too many things will be brought out from the bottom of your heart again, making you unable to speak. "

Looking at Emma who pursed her lips hard and looked extremely complicated, Leon thought for a while, took her slightly cold palm and shook it hard, and then explained with sincerity:

"Senior Emma, ​​the reason why I did these investigations was not because I suspected that you would be unfavorable to me, but because I felt that you and the director seemed to be hiding something from me, and it was something very bad for you.

But unlike the director, I am willing to respect your thoughts. If you are still not mentally prepared, you don’t need to tell me the reason, and I will stop the investigation.

But on the contrary, I also hope that you can promise me that before you can't help but do something, you must think about Ellie before making a decision, and don't let yourself regret it, okay? "

"Thanks…"

Feeling the warmth from Leon's hand, Emma bit her lip and gently pulled back her palm, then took out a sharp knife, cut her palm hard, and then took the initiative to grab Leon's left hand.
