[Zhongyingmei] My brother's name is Hannibal

When Mrs. Osman opened the closet with a cold face, the three-year-old girl was sleeping soundly against the wall with the doll in her arms. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at Hannibal who was sitting by the bed. He followed and walked over, waved away Luo Fensi's hand that wanted to hug Mia, and knelt down to hug Mia, who seemed to be sleeping with her eyes closed, in her arms skillfully.

Luo Fensi stood aside silently, and Mrs. Ottoman's sleeping jacket was opened a little by her, revealing only the silk suspenders inside.

She said regretfully, "Then Hannibal, you should go back to your room first, Mia should go to bed too."

Hannibal left the room, and Mia, who was nestled in his arms, finally couldn't help moving, and she quietly opened her eyes under the cover of the doll.

The young man glanced at Mia, patted her on the back, and heard the raised voice of the maid Molly from behind, "Master Hannibal, the lady's room is not something Miss Mia can enter casually, you must know that it is placed on the bedside table. The beautiful little lamp on the boat was specially brought back by Earl Fryn for his wife, and it is worth a lot of money."

What else did Molly want to say, but Hannibal walked into the room without stopping and closed the door, the bloated maid stared at his door with a look of ignoring her, "What an uneducated child , I really think of myself as a young master... and Luo Fensi, a little beast, I want to deal with her, she has been so disobedient in less than a year."

As she said this, Luo Fensi was still staying in Mrs. Osman's room. Because she offended his wife in the afternoon and was ordered not to appear in front of Mrs. Osman, she hesitated to take any action.

After waiting for a long time without hearing anything, she went downstairs unwillingly. She muttered to herself that Luo Fensi would return to the small room where she lived in a while, and she was so proud of herself that she didn't know what to do.

Mia was pretending to be asleep, and Hannibal didn't know how much she'd seen in the closet, despite not doing anything, and despite Mia's only three years old, he could still feel a sickening discomfort welling up in his chest.

He is not interested in the body of a mature woman, and he has no desire to explore this strange manor. Hannibal wants to plan how to get out of here when things change qualitatively, and the problem now is what does he think of Mia? It's hard to let go of how much you hear.

He opened his mouth, and his hoarse voice was trying to piece together the results of his studies in the past few days, but it was obvious that the root cause of his loss of voice was still suppressing him very strongly, so that Hannibal could only open his mouth and say nothing. speak out.

He shut his mouth in frustration, he looked terribly gloomy.

Mia threw the doll in her arms aside, imitated Hannibal and sat on the edge of the bed, with her short legs hanging over the edge of the bed, shaking her head to look at him.

"Hannibal." Mia called him, the boy lowered his head to think about something, and didn't look back at the first time, so Mia called his name again, slightly lowering his voice with a sense of doubt.

The young man propped his hands on the side of the bed, turned his head under the orange light, and smiled after a long time, then lowered his head as if he was unwilling to face her.

Mia moved closer, poked his arm, lowered her voice as if sharing a little secret, "There's a hole in the closet..."

Hannibal finally turned his face to her again, and Mia opened her eyes wide and whispered quietly, "Let's run away, Hannibal, Mrs. Osman is like the witch Mrs. Lusen said, she will put you in the forest. Eat up the lost children!"

She covered her mouth and tried to put herself into the character set of a three-year-old child. She drew a circle in the air with her arms and gestured confidently, "There is such a big pot, throw Mia into it Cook and eat!"

Mia wanted to laugh when she said it herself, but Hannibal laughed directly and rubbed her head.

"No." He opened his mouth and spoke, but he didn't expect Mia to understand. Maybe it was because Mia felt insecure after being abandoned at the gate of the orphanage. Hannibal held her in his arms , a person opened his mouth to the air, but couldn't make a sound, "Brother will protect you, Mia."

Mia saw Hannibal's embarrassment, so the purpose of changing the subject this time was relatively successful in her opinion.Huddled in Hannibal's arms, she could feel his care and tenderness towards her, so the balance in her heart moved a little towards him silently.

Being unable to speak sometimes feels too troublesome. Mia twisted in Hannibal's arms, and after a while stretched out her upper body to reach the book on the bedside table. Hannibal always likes to hold this black cover Flip through the books, and look at them for a while before going to bed at night.

Hannibal opened the book for her. It was a very ordinary children's book, with some small illustrations in some places.Mia couldn't read the words, but she could still roughly understand the general meaning of these words through the small illustrations.

At the age of seven or eight, Hannibal’s family was enough for him to inherit the earl without any worries. He was smart and not conceited, and he could quickly understand what his former teacher taught him. Nibal's parents were completely assured and proud of this aspect of his education.

His nails were left a little longer by him, and they slowly slid under each line of the words. Although he couldn't make a sound, Mia didn't break away from his embrace like other children who were too lively. She just curled up in his arms Li quietly watched the movement of his fingers, and sometimes turned his face and smiled at him when he understood.

"Look, Hannibal, this is the story of a lamb who accidentally left the flock!" She also pointed at the illustration with her finger, and Hannibal followed her finger to see, under the cold light of the moonlight , a young sheep nestled alone in the cave, and there was a line of small characters beside it——

A lamb without the protection of the flock is doomed to die.

Hannibal was thankful that Mia couldn't read. He turned a page and didn't want to stay on the page just now.

Mia soon couldn't resist the drowsiness amid the ringing of the pendulum clock outside, and her head couldn't stop nodding.It was nine o'clock, Hannibal put the book away, tucked Mia under the covers, and blew out the candles.

The butler didn't return all night, and he didn't arrive at the manor wrapped in a coat until the next afternoon.

He looked a bit dusty, and the stubble on his face had grown out and was unshaved. It was green and green, and he looked much older.

At this time, because Mia stumbled in the back garden and fell covered in ashes, Luo Fensi took her to the bathroom to take a bath.

Luo Fensi was more silent than when she first saw it, her eyes were as dull as a puppet.Mia sat naked in the tub, surrounded by bubbles.

Getting closer, Mia found that Luo Fensi with black curly hair was generally very attractive, but she kept a straight face every day and never smiled.

Her actions towards Mia were very gentle. Although it seemed that strangers were not close to each other, Mia felt that Luo Fensi was a kind-hearted girl.

Maybe it was accidentally touched before, and there was a little white foam on the tip of Luo Fensi's nose, which looked a little funny.

Mia was about to get dressed, and she smelled delicious all over.Luo Fensi knelt down to straighten her neckline, and Mia raised her hand to wipe off the foam from the tip of the maid's nose, "Bubbles!"

Luo Fensi also touched her nose subconsciously. It was a little wet and had the fresh fragrance of body wash. She pursed her lips and hugged Mia.

Putting the changed clothes in the basket, she opened the bathroom door and walked to Hannibal's room without saying a word.Probably because Mia sleeps in Hannibal's room with her pillow in her arms every day, so that everyone forgets that the small room originally belonged to Mia.

Hannibal was also in the room, leaning back in a chair at the table reading a book fascinated.

Mia stretched her neck and glanced at it. It was the biological book on human structure that she had read last time, which was quite different from the children's book on the bedside table.

Without tucking her into the quilt, Lovins handed Mia to Hannibal who put down his book and came over to read.

The taciturn little maid looked out the window, and the dark sky was accompanied by lightning, forcibly breaking the prelude to darkness.She touched her lips, and finally said in a low voice, "Night...don't go out."

That thoughtless sentence made Mia wake up.When she looked up again, Luo Fensi had already left the room.

She went to look at the handprints on the wall next to the small tree today, and a small layer was scraped off where it should have been, but she didn't pay much attention when she looked at it because she was too anxious.

Apart from flowers and plants, there were a few tall and lush trees in the back garden. Since there was no elusive housekeeper, she was a little relieved to see if there was a small exit to escape.

She searched around the wall, but she didn't even find a dog hole except for the towering old-fashioned wall.

There are also two tombstones.

She still has a certain sense of awe towards the tombstone, so she just stood and looked at it from a distance. She couldn't read the characters, but there were black and white photos on it, so she could clearly distinguish the identities of the two.

Wearing a bearded hat with a serious smile and a straight jacket with a vertical collar, he looked in Mia's direction with piercing eyes.She flinched, this should be the deceased earl, the original owner of this manor.

There was another one, Mia took two steps to look at it, and the photo posted on it was the boy she saw in Mrs. Osman's room yesterday.

The dean said that Mrs. Osman lost a child named Osman, but in yesterday's photo...

Maybe it wasn't Oss, maybe it was another kid, but there are only two gravestones here...

Walking in the back garden while thinking about something, I didn't pay attention to the big rock in the withered grass and fell down, saying it... It's a bit embarrassing.

Hannibal felt that wrestling was not unusual for a three-year-old child, so he just checked her body for any injuries and let her go.

Mia is very obedient, she gets up by herself when she falls down, doesn't cry, and even pats the ashes off her body.

Thinking about the hole she found in Mrs. Osman's room yesterday, Mia fumbled for her pockets. She remembered that she had forgotten the necklace in the pocket of her skirt. Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly realized that the skirt had just been changed yesterday. It was still in the basket in the bathroom.

She patted the back of Hannibal's hand, "Hannibal, I have something in my pocket to get." Hannibal put her down, Mia shook her already long hair, tiptoed to open The door trotted out.

No one was using the bathroom, Mia pushed open the door that was not closed tightly, and there was still a faint light inside.

The basket was right next to the wall, and Luo Fensi squatted there motionless.

Holding the necklace with thin fingers, he tried his best.
