"Obviously I discovered it first..." Bajiao retorted weakly.

"Nonsense! I've been picking white flowers here for a long time when you came here, and I was the one who discovered it first!" Little Douding in black was more confident than he said, with a confident appearance.

"But you've been on the periphery, you didn't come into the valley..." whispering, Bajiao shrank back, and hugged Ah Qingjin behind him in aggrieved manner.

If it weren't for his weird-looking upper half of his face, the picture would look quite harmonious, but—so, it was Bajiao who was obviously seeking protection, but it was clearly Ah Qingjin who trembled more violently.

Zhu Ji took a look at the situation of the valley, they came from one end, and the other seemed to be behind Little Douding in black, probably the two little guys came from different directions and found this valley, but—"He Is it from our village?" Holding the star anise, Zhu Ji whispered in his ear, and after receiving a negative answer, the smile on his lips deepened.

So, with a smile on his lips, while hugging the star anise, he raised his voice to Xiao Douding on the opposite side and asked, "Is your village on the other side of the valley?"

"No, not!" Stuttering, the black-clothed little Douding immediately denied fiercely.

"That's it, I see that there are only two entrances to this valley, one is in the direction of our village, and the other is behind you. If you come from the other side of the valley, it may be possible to discover the valley at the same time as Bajiao , However, if this is the case, since you discovered the valley from both sides at the same time, it is difficult to say who is the first to discover the valley. At least you both think that you are the first before you meet each other; of course, if you are not if……"

Zhu Ji smiled slightly: "If you didn't come from the other side of the valley, and you're not from our village, you wouldn't be able to find this place from the entrance of our village, right?"

The little Douding in black was so angry that he turned into a puffer fish.

Du Nan was dumbfounded seeing the little boy wanting to refute but being unable to refute, and in the end he just went back to picking white flowers.

This... is this bullying a child?

However, the person who bullied the child was not only not ashamed, but also very proud, and winked at him, while Bajiao in his arms was obviously very happy. When he raised his head, a pair of black holes were facing him, and Bajiao made a loud noise. Said: "I didn't expect to be able to refute him like this before, mother, you are so amazing!"

It was at this "Mother" that a crack appeared in the smile on Zhu Ji's face.

But Bajiao didn't care about this, happily jumped out of Zhu Ji's arms, took his hand, and went to search for white flowers in the grass.

It was Du Nan who looked in the direction of Xiaodouding in black and at the valley behind him. He thought, Angelica didn't really want to bully the child. He probably wanted to ask if there was anyone else on the other side of the valley, but he didn't expect The little boy refused to say at all, even if the title of "the first to discover the valley" was taken away, but... well, no matter whether you say it or not, Angelica's goal can always be achieved.

It's just——Danggui is so courageous. Seeing him squatting with Bajiao and earnestly picking white flowers, Du Nan felt that his psychological quality was still not good enough, but...

Looking at the location of the little bean in black, Du Nan found a place near him and started picking white flowers.

He is used to working, and his picking speed is obviously faster than that of the black-clothed little bean beside him. In addition, he is concentrating on picking. It didn't take long before a large handful of "white flowers" appeared in the basket behind him. It was his speed that was so fast that he finally provoked the protest of the people next door who were picking together.

"You picked too much! I came to this place first—" Xiaodouding in black said across from him in the same domineering tone as before.

At this moment, both of them were squatting on the ground, surrounded by thatch higher than their heads, Du Nan realized that he and the little boy in black had bumped into each other, face to face, and the distance was no more than three feet , the little boy cat looks like a little black cat in the grass. He is not as good-looking as an anise, but he looks like an ordinary little boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he is generally healthy and strong that people would like. Strong appearance.

Therefore, even if the other party's tone was not very good, Du Nan was not unhappy at all, but gave in instead.

"Oh, is that right? I'm sorry, then I'll give you all the white flowers I picked." Then, he took out all the white flowers in his back basket and handed them to the little boy.

Seeing his move, the little guy's mouth opened wide!

"Give it all to me?" Du Nan was so generous that he didn't dare to accept it.

Du Nan nodded, seeing that the little boy didn't pick it up, he put the white flowers on the grass in front of the little boy, and then went further away to pick the white flowers.

He didn't know when the little boy left, but they left when Bajiao felt that the white flowers he and Zhu Ji had picked were enough.

By the time they returned home, the village was full of smoke and the familiar sweet smell was everywhere, and after their "home" started fire, not long after, a stronger and sweeter smell came from them. The house floated out, mixed with the smoke from the village.

It is different from any village where Du Nan lives. People here do not visit each other at all. When they go out, they look at everyone talking and laughing, which seems to be full of life. The door is locked, and the people in the house never leave the house. Basically, they have nothing to do after drinking the sweet soup.

On the contrary, Du Nan was amazed: he just drank a full stomach of soup, but he didn't feel hungry.

I wanted to ask the villagers to find out what was going on here, but when I looked around, the people in the village were getting weirder and weirder. Didn't I see Angelica who didn't even dare to say his real name?

Under such circumstances, I don’t think Du Nan got some new information from Little Douding in Black—I don’t know if it’s because Du Nan didn’t quarrel with him yesterday, but instead gave him the white flowers he picked The next day, when Du Nan went to pick white flowers with Bajiao again, while Bajiao and Zhu Ji went to the other end to pick white flowers, Xiao Douding in black took the initiative to cat to the opposite side of Du Nan.

"Here you are." He first handed Du Nan a bowl, which was filled with a bowl full of jelly-like things, pink and quite attractive.

Du Nan looked up at him puzzled.

The black-clothed little Douding looked away in embarrassment, but passed the bowl in Du Nan's direction: "I made it with the white flowers you gave me yesterday. You gave too much, I can't eat it."

"This is—" Looking at the contents of the bowl, which was completely different from the sweet soup made by Meng Po and star anise, Du Nan was puzzled.

"Huh!" Xiao Douding resumed his previous arrogant tone: "I'm not like that guy, who only knows how to make white flower soup, and I can't be bored with drinking soup every day? In fact, this white flower can also be used to make white flower jelly and white flower cake. It's because children can't drink alcohol, otherwise it will be very delicious when brewed."

"So... you did this?" Du Nan asked him.

Xiao Douding didn't answer, but the raised chin already said everything.

Under Xiao Douding's urging, Du Nan had no choice but to eat this bowl of white flower jelly in front of him. Not to mention, although the taste is similar to the soup, but the taste is better, he probably added something else in it. A little more saltiness.

"Thank you." After eating the jelly, Du Nan returned the bowl to him.The little boy took the bowl immediately, and when he put the bowl into the pannier next to him, Du Nan noticed that his pannier was broken.

One side was broken, and the few white flowers inside were exposed.

"Let me mend it for you." After saying that, Du Nan saw that the little boy didn't object, so he took his pannier directly, found suitable hay from the ground, and used the hay to re-weave the broken part of the pannier. up.

His hands were extremely dexterous and his movements were quick. It didn't take long before he handed over the complete pannier to the little boy, but the little boy took the pannier and looked at it over and over again for a long time. He didn't say thank you and didn't mean to leave. When he left to pick white flowers next to him, he suddenly raised his head, lowered his voice and said to him: "You are so kind, so leave quickly, don't be with that guy, and don't be his parents."

When he said this, his voice was low and hasty, completely different from the previous tone, and he seemed to be on guard. Du Nan noticed that he had been looking in the direction of Bajiao, and then realized that the "that guy" in his words "...Could it be star anise?

He didn't say a word, and motioned him to continue talking with his eyes.

Then, the little boy bit his lip and said to him: "Before you, that guy changed his parents several times. You are not the first pair of parents he brought here. I have seen the previous couples. They... look completely different from you!"

"Maybe they were all eaten by him."

"That child...he eats adults!"

After saying this, the little boy in black looked around, and then disappeared from Du Nan's side.

Du Nan opened his mouth for a long time without saying a word. When he came back to his senses again, he found that Bajiao had been standing beside him at some point, looking at the direction where the little boy disappeared with him. He raised his head, his dark eyes Looking straight at Du Nan, being stared at like this, thinking of what the little boy in black said before, Du Nan only felt a layer of goose bumps on his back.

However—"Daddy, you are so courageous." Bajiao suddenly said.

With a chill in his heart, Du Nan forced himself to look into his eyes.

"How...how should I say it?" He kept his voice as steady as possible.

Then he saw Bajiao continued to look at him with a pair of black holes, and opened and closed his pink mouth: "How dare you talk to that guy."

"That guy has no brains, don't you think he looks scary?"

Hearing him say this, what he saw was the black eyes of the little boy, but what he was thinking about was the little boy in black, who had no brains... no brains... wait, he seemed to have never seen that child before. The back view, at most, is a side face, or a side face that is slightly turned to the side, the other party has no brains... Is that what he imagined?

Just when Du Nan was desperately recalling all the scenes of the two getting along in his mind, a hand was patted on his shoulder, and with a jolt, Du Nan fell headfirst to the ground.

At the same time, Ah Qingjin, who had been by his side all the time, fell to the ground.

Ah Qingjin acted more directly - it peed in fright.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Ji frowned while his hands were still in mid-air, looking at the one person and one unicorn that fell down in an instant.

"I guess Daddy was frightened by that guy." Looking up, Bajiao said, "He seems to have just realized that guy has no back of his head."

"No brain, there is a big black hole behind the head, it looks so scary!"

Zhu Ji: ...you are scary too.

He picked up Du Nan, and Hong Ruo, who was beside him, quickly got under Ah Qingjin's body to lift him up, and then picked up the star anise, and they hurried back to the village.
