The air condenses as usual.

"Are you really going to adopt that child?"

"Yes." The man kneeling on the floor replied decisively. "I think clearly, please be sure to fulfill me."

"In the case of redemption...that child may not appreciate it, and exists as an enemy who will be misunderstood by resentment, hoping that the other party can grow up. This kind of stupid behavior should not be what Soma did."

"It's not just about atonement, but I just don't want him to live alone anymore." Cao Mo really raised his head, with a soft gleam in his cold eyes, "He and I are just relying on each other, please rest assured."

The person standing in front of Cao Mo Juzhen turned his back to him and walked to the window, sneering in a low voice, "It's just a monster, you can keep it if you want."

"Thank you."

Standing up and retreating to the door, taking one last look at the man standing in front of the window, Soma went out and closed the door.

The man didn't look back, but squinted up at the gray sky.In the approaching winter, the bitter cold wind mixed with fine snow blows into his wide collar, but he doesn't care.From his slender figure and his childish facial features, it can be seen that he is not more than 15 years old. However, he is lonely and alienated, making it difficult for people to approach.

The little white bird pecking at the water on the wooden platform also seemed to feel something strange, leaving the porcelain dish filled with water, flew to the man's shoulder and pecked at his face.

"Do you think... loneliness is more terrible than a curse?"

Cao Mo walked out of the main house and walked along the quiet tree-lined path on the left to a more remote deserted residential area.

Along the way, the surrounding whispers kept pouring into my ears.

"I heard that the thing fell into the pond and passed out again today. I don't know if I'm still breathing."

"Hush~ Keep your voice down, you don't want to die! Although that thing is very weird, it receives special treatment from the Patriarch!"

"Hmph, anyway, the Patriarch doesn't know about it yet. He disappears after waking up, and even if he dies, no one may pay attention."

"It's better to be dead, like him... It's disgusting to look at."

"But isn't the Patriarch very special to him?"

"Stupid, if the Patriarch treats him well, he deserves to die!"

"what?"

"It's normal, okay? How can a god-like existence like the Patriarch be blocked by him? Besides, that kind of fetter is not a good thing at all... If it were me, I would get rid of him earlier."

"Hey, you can't talk nonsense about this. Be careful if someone chews your tongue and spread it to the Patriarch, we will die."

Cao Mo really walked slowly towards the depths of the house, not surprised or surprised by the conversations of those people, and did not intend to restrain them at all.

The so-called thing... is a half-grown boy, even a little younger than the zodiac.The parents are unknown, and the relatives in the vague concept are the scope circle of the Caomo people.Not in the category of the Chinese zodiac, even more embarrassing than cats and gods.

It is... the saddest individual in the Soma family.

With heavy and complicated thoughts, I finally came to the most neglected place in Cao Mojia - the dilapidated log cabin.

The tiles are shabby and out of shape, weeds are growing all around, and there is a thin layer of fine snow falling, making it even more desolate.The path that people can walk on gradually narrows, and most of them are covered with sharp gravel, which hurts the feet.

The indescribable desolation stunned Cao Mo, who was mentally prepared. He knew that the place where the cat demon lived would not be very comfortable, but such a dilapidated residence was used to imprison a young child whose age could be checked with just one finger. , is unavoidably too much.

The small wooden house has only one textbook-sized window. The rain-dried dust and densely entwined wires cover the original small glass more tightly, and only a few rays of light can penetrate into the house.The iron door was dripping with blood-yellow rust, and the heavy iron locks were like the fangs of wild beasts, firmly biting at the door, only a faint musty smell of dust broke free from the cracks and drifted into the air.

It was too late to think about what to say and how to do it when we met, Cao Mo took out the key uncharacteristically, opened the door and walked in eagerly.

"Clap!"

He seemed to have stepped on some utensil in his haste, and looked down—it was a bowl containing leftover soup and leftovers, and the food that could not see the raw materials in it was mixed with grass and mud, exuding a musty smell.The part that fell on the ground spread out, and you can clearly see that there are blue-black stones deliberately placed inside...

Is this the cat demon's daily meal?

For the first time, Cao Mo ignited anger in his heart, and felt a faint pain in his chest.Calm down, and strode in.

Remove the wooden fence nailed around, and enter the room where the cat demon is.

Standing at the door, the slightest voice could be heard. Listening carefully, it was two children talking.

"Hey, what does your transformation look like? Is it really a cat? How big is it? Can I hug it? Can you still talk? Or do you bark like a real cat?" The voice of the child who asked the question was very cheerful, clear and sweet His voice echoed in the empty room.

It took a long time before the other one answered, unlike the brisk child of the last one, his voice was hoarse with deep depression, gloomy and lifeless, "What's there to see, monsters can eat people when they transform."

"Wow! You are more powerful than Bo Niao! He puts on a bad face every day, looking like he wants to eat people, cut, it's not to scare children."

Cao Mozhen stuck to the door frame and looked in, only to see a silver-haired little boy pouted, his exquisite facial features vividly expressing his dissatisfaction, very cute, "It's a pity that I'm not a girl, otherwise I must hug Ah Jia, see See what kind of cat you are."

Another thin and small figure squatting in the shaded corner visibly trembled, then lowered his orange-yellow furry head, and said in an inaudible voice, "You won't like it, you will only be afraid."

Such a self would only end up being hated and abandoned, just like being hated by everyone since he was born.He obviously didn't do anything wrong, and he obviously didn't know anything, but he was still regarded as a sinful monster and imprisoned in this dilapidated house.I don't know the color of the sky outside, the smell of the flowers, the feeling of the sun, day after day, I finally become numb to myself... quietly and desperately waiting for the arrival of death.

Suddenly, I was hugged into a warm embrace that I had never had before.

"That's why I hate children the most. They think they know everything, but they are actually awkward and stubborn. It's not your fault that they are locked up here. It's just that they didn't see your goodness. Don't care what those people think of you, at least I I like you, whether you have changed or not, I still like you." The silver-haired boy hugged the orange boy's waist tightly with his small hands, and rubbed his face against the other with a smile, not minding the gray stains on the other's body at all. "Of course, it would be so much fun if you turned into the best talking cat!"

The orange-yellow boy raised his hand tremblingly, and placed it tentatively on the silver-haired boy's shoulder. For the first time, the child's uneasy emotions were revealed in his dull and dull eyes, "I'm sorry..."

"Huh?" Let go of him, tilting his head doubtfully.

The orange-yellow boy didn't explain any more, just gently stroked his slightly stained shoulders.That was when he saw the silver-haired boy for the first time just now, he lost his mind and hit it with all his strength.Although he has been imprisoned for many years, his physical strength is very poor.But the opponent was obviously unprepared, and was still hit by the wall, and there was a bang when his shoulder touched the wall.

That sound was the same as the sound of an adult throwing him into this room, so subconsciously, he felt that the other party must be in pain.

"Well, you still have a conscience." The silver-haired boy hugged him indifferently, stretched out his hand to rub his orange hair, and said in an adult tone, "You are older than me, you must take good care of me in the future to make up for it, you know ?"

"Oh." Nodded ignorantly, he would agree to whatever the silver-haired boy said.

In history, the first person to embrace himself, the first person to say that he likes himself, that it is not his fault, the first person to treat himself as a normal person... He is willing to give everything he can to return.

Seeing this, Cao Mo's eyes really darkened, and he leaned out and walked in.

The two boys looked up at him together, one smiling, the other nervous and fearful.

Nodding to the silver-haired boy, he walked to them and squatted down, looking gently at the slightly trembling kitten, "I'll take you out, will you follow me?"

"Hey, uncle is a child abductor? Where are you taking the cat?" The silver-haired boy stood up and protected the kitten behind him.

Cao Mo said with a smile, "My name is Cao Mo, and I am A Jia's adopter."

"Are you going to take Ah Jia out to live?"

"Ah."

The silver-haired boy's big eyes looked straight at Somo, as if he wanted to look into his heart.After a long while, he looked back with a smiling face and asked, "Ah Jia, he's not a bad guy, don't worry. Do you want to go with him?"

For a straw man who has never seen the outside world, going out to live is a very extravagant wish, and he certainly wants to if it can come true.But... won't that person leave him?If he transformed himself in front of him, wouldn't he be afraid of loathing himself?

Seemingly understanding what Mao Mao was thinking, Cao Mo really explained patiently, "I will teach you martial arts, take you out to play, as long as I can give you, I will satisfy you. It doesn't matter even if you transform, I am an adult and can see everything It's over, you don't have to worry."

I won't turn around and leave again, and I won't stand aside indifferently like my grandfather.

The kitten looked at the silver-haired boy pitifully, and gritted his teeth and nodded after getting his affirmation—at worst, he was sent back.

It's just... Will he see this little friend again?

"I'll visit you." The boy put Maomao's hand in Suomao's, and waved behind them, with a bright smile on his face. "My name is Izzy, remember!"

Cao Mo really constricted his pupils when he heard this name, is that the boy who was discussed along the way?

Then he looked at Ah Jia beside him who looked nervous and bewildered, feeling puzzled.

The same fate, even more tragic fate than Ah Jia, why is there such a warm smile?

Walking to the door, Cao Mo suddenly remembered something, lowered his head and asked Ah Jia, "Yize...is that boy just now, how did he get in?"

To Cao Mo's question, the kitten was obviously a little nervous, and stammered, "I, I don't know, it's just very sudden, I don't know how he came in, I didn't notice..."

"Uncle, don't ask Mao Mao, this is my ability." I don't know when Ize also came out, stretched his waist, and smiled lazily. "You have to take good care of the cat, otherwise I will snatch it back."

Reaching out to Laize's arm, there was a burst of scorching heat, "Are you having a fever?"

I thought of people's whispers in my heart... I heard that the thing fell into the pond and passed out again today. I was so sick that I didn't know if I was still breathing.

"Why did you come here?" I asked again unconsciously.

Only Ah Jia next to him looked at Yize worriedly, he knew what it was like to have a fever.In a cold room, having a fever is a common occurrence and not a pleasant experience.

Yize smiled comfortingly at Ajia, "Uncle, you have a lot of questions! I'm here... just to see what the place I will live in in the future."

Cao Mo really froze.

This kid...does he know?
