this growth

Because he was too shocked, Du Nan's "acting skills" became natural next time. As for the old woman's routine afterward, he was not more surprised because he had heard it twice before.

"... You are a family from now on. You are a young couple, and you two are raised by their family... Well... You are a horse, and it is a snake. Your family lives in... Eh? The house is full, It was the last key that was handed out just now, what should I do? Let me look through it and see whose home I can put the two of you into—" The old woman went to flip through the paper in front, also because of this action , did not urge them to drink the soup quickly. Of course, Du Nan and Zhu Ji didn't dare to drink this soup. Instead, Hong Yanruo licked her lips and directly drank the soup in the bowl. Still not finished, a pair of big eyes sneaked into Ah Qingjin's bowl next to him. Ah Qingjin was still hesitating whether to drink it, his neck was tilted, his head was depressed, and he was about to steal "" "Soup" was successful, and Ah Qingjin found out, so he didn't hesitate, and Ah Qingjin also drank up the soup in the bowl.

It is also an unfinished look.

The two drank so fast that Du Nan had no time to stop them, but they drank everything, and now the situation could not force them to vomit, so they could only take a step, but the bowl in his hand was I dare not drink again.

At this moment, a crying little boy ran out of the village.

Covering the upper half of his face with his sleeve, he ran while crying, because of his movements, Du Nan could only see the lower half of his face, which was white and clean, with pink lips and a pointed chin, it should look good.

The child looks about four or five years old in height, and some children may not be able to speak clearly at this age, but this child's mouth is clever, as soon as he ran to the old woman, he made it clear: "Grandma Meng, my father My mother disappeared again, I just came back from the outside and found that they all disappeared, grandma, do you think they don't want me?"

After speaking, the little boy rubbed his eyes and revealed his entire face.

Du Nan, who originally thought he would not be more shocked, was taken aback by this face - there should be two big black holes in the eyes!Tears protruded from the hole, and there were no eyeballs in it!

Surprised too much, he couldn't help taking a step back, Zhu Ji supported him in time, so as not to let the two "people" next to him notice his change.

It was also thanks to the fact that Granny Meng was comforting the little baby.

Stretching out a pair of dry hands, the old woman kept wiping under the black hole, and comforted her mouth: "I didn't leave, I didn't want you, they just..."

Just as she was talking, the old woman suddenly raised her head, and a gap appeared in her eyes covered by folds, and this "gap" precisely met Du Nan and Zhu Ji.

After facing the two for a while, the old woman suddenly patted the little boy on the shoulder, and then pointed at Du Nan and Zhu Ji with one hand: "Look, aren't your parents here?"

"They have a bad memory, they forgot where their home is, and they came to me again to beg for soup."

"Is that so?" The little boy sniffed and "looked" in the direction of the two of them.

Looking at those two black holes, Du Nan shuddered. Fortunately, Zhu Ji was behind him, and the warm temperature on his body made him feel better, at least he felt a little vitality.

"That's right." The old woman said to him patiently: "But it's a good thing. Look, your parents brought you a horse and a snake. Let's see if you like it or not?"

As she spoke, the old woman pointed to Hong Miruo and Ah Qingjin again.

Hong Yanruo was okay, but Ah Qingjin's body shook, she had never seen such a scary child, it, it was scared!

Du Nan was secretly worried, for fear that Ah Qingjin would show his feet and be discovered by others. Fortunately, the little boy didn't seem to be very interested in Ah Qingjin, so he stopped his gaze on it for a second and then retracted it. When he looked at Du Nan and the two of them again , already with a look of admiration, the little boy whispered timidly: "As long as it is brought to me by my father and mother, I like it."

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out a pair of small hands to hold the hands of Du Nan and Zhu Ji: "Father, mother, come with me, let's go home..."

"Don't forget to bring the soup too. Grandma Meng's soup is very good. It's okay for you to take the bowl away. I'll bring it to Grandma later." He also reminded them to bring soup.

Now, it was impossible to get away with it. Du Nan had no choice but to be led by the cold little paw in one hand and a bowl of hot soup in the other, and walked towards the village stiffly.

Holding Du Nan's right hand with his left hand and Zhu Ji's left hand with his right hand, the little boy led them forward.

The entrance of the village that Du Nan had been seeing before was actually only four or five families. After walking past, the branches branched. At the end of the road was a very tall and thick tree, which looked a bit like the apricot tree in Rabbit Ear Village. , with luxuriant branches and leaves, full of white flowers on it, big and big, but the smell is not strong, at least Du Nan didn't smell the scent of flowers.

On both sides of the tree, the roads in the village branched, one road went east and the other went west, and the little boy took them on the west road.

The road is not too wide, and there are people on both sides of the road, and there are a few trees with white flowers on both sides of the road, but not as tall as that tree. The houses look similar, with a fence outside, and a house behind the small yard. , the houses of each household are basically the same size, which can just accommodate three or four people. Thinking of the old lady's division of people in units of "three", Du Nan thinks that there are probably three people in each household.

There are not many families here, Du Nan counted six families... The little boy stopped.

There are still houses behind, but there are not many of them. The two men and the young man should live in the last house on the right, and their side is the third to last house on the right?

With a smile on his face, the little boy looked up at Du Nan and Zhu Ji: "Father, mother, we are home."

After speaking, he let go of Du Nan's hand, still holding Zhu Ji, took out the key from his pocket with one hand, and unlocked the door.

With a "click", the lock fell, the door was pushed open, and the little boy led them into the yard.

"Should the pony live over there, and the big snake... live on the opposite side?" He didn't forget the horse and snake brought back by "father and mother", and allocated places for them as soon as he entered the yard.After closing and locking the door, he stuffed the key back into his pocket, continued to hold Du Nan's hand, and led them into the house.

The room was also an ordinary room. When they entered the room, it was facing a big table with three stools. When they entered, a large handful of grass was placed on the table?flower?

It is a plant with slender leaves and long stems, and there are so many leaves that people will think it is a big bunch of grass at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that there are dots of white flowers in it.

Probably because the door had been closed before, Du Nan smelled a strong sweet fragrance as soon as he entered the door. His intuition told him that this fragrance should be emitted by the small flowers on this plant. It was an unusually familiar smell. He thought After waiting for a long time, Du Nan finally saw Zhu Ji pointing to the bowls in their hands with his eyes, and then Du Nan thought: Yes, it is the taste of this sweet soup.

The blossom tastes the same as the sweet soup.

As soon as he entered the door, the little boy asked Du Nan and Zhu Ji to sit down, and when he saw them taking their seats, he sat down on the remaining stool, but as soon as he sat down, he said aggrievedly: "Father, mother, why are you missing?" When I just came back, I found that you were gone, I thought you disappeared again! The child is so scared, really scared..."

As he spoke, tears slid down the pair of black holes again.

This time, Zhu Ji moved.

Putting the big bowl in his hand on the table, he said softly: "We were afraid that you would be hungry, so we went outside to find food for you. Didn't we just get soup from Granny Meng?"

"Drink, there are two bowls in total, I'll give you both." He said, and brought the sweet soup in Du Nan's hand, and put it in front of the little boy.

Then, there was more water in the black hole.

It's coming, it's coming again—seeing Zhu Ji's gentle and skillful way of comforting the child, Du Nan suddenly remembered that he was a child, as if... When they first met, he talked to himself like this.

Now it seems that this is not a business-specific tone?Later, after he really became a family, although he was still very gentle with himself, his tone was not the same.

Sweet, like the sweet soup in this bowl, it looks sweet and weird.

Du Nan felt that if he heard someone talking to him like this, he would definitely not touch anything given by this person.But—the little boy was very moved.

The water in the black hole surged up, "pata" and "pata" fell into the big bowl, and finally picked up the bowl, he drank the sweet soup in the bowl in small sips, and drank two bowls of sweet soup in a row , he raised his head, revealing the empty bottom of the bowl, and gave Zhu Ji a big smile.

"The sweet soup my mother gave me is really delicious!"

Although this place is really weird, Du Nan suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard Zhu Ji froze after the little boy called Zhu Ji "mother".

Fortunately, the little boy did not stop. After drinking the sweet soup, he began to choose the flowers on the table.He didn't want any green leaves or stems, and only picked out the small white flowers inside one by one. His pair of small hands were extremely dexterous, and it didn't take long for Du Nan to see a small pile of small white flowers piled up by his hands.

Then, carefully putting the white flowers into the bowl of the sweet soup, he jumped off the stool.

"What... are you going to do?" Without holding back, Du Nan asked him.

Showing a shy smile at him, the little boy said: "I'm full, Daddy and you are still hungry, I'll go cook for you."

With the sound of "Daddy", Du Nan was the one who was stunned this time. Looking at Zhu Ji who was looking at him with a narrow smile beside him, he pursed his lips and did not speak after all.

The two watched the little boy continue to work outside, watched him wash the white flowers carefully with water, and then put them in the pot to cook. Not long after the familiar sweet smell wafted, they saw the little boy re-entered the house.

Holding a bowl in one hand, the little boy put the bowl in front of the two of them. Du Nan looked down: the familiar bowl—the bowl brought from Granny Meng; Unparalleled sweetness.

Sitting back in his seat again, the little boy gave them a sweet smile: "Father, mother, drink, I have done a lot, enough."
