Miss Hydra [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

A sunny morning.

In the New Jersey countryside, there is a gentle breeze.

The rotary telephone at the old Barnes' home rang twice, Katherine Barnes rubbed her hands on her apron, Dan Barnes swept the floor with a broom and shook at the dining table He smoked his pipe, and asked loudly, "Who's calling, Kay?"

Old Mrs. Barnes squinted at him: "I haven't answered the phone yet, how do I know? Old man?"

Then she picked up the receiver and brought it to her ear, pushing the round gold-rimmed reading glasses on the bridge of her nose: "This is the Barnes family, please... oh, grandma's fawn!"

Dan stopped smoking and pricked up his ears.

"Come to grandma's house to play? I want to bring your good brother... um, of course it's no problem... Grandma will prepare the freshest apple pie for you."

Dan snorted aside: "And fishing! Fishing!"

"...Your grandfather said he wanted to fish with you, um... eh? Girl?"

The ears of the two gray-haired old men were pricked up, and their eyes were shining.

Catherine laughed cheerfully: "Which family's little girl? ... Okay, don't ask, don't ask, just come, we..."

"Good boy!" Dan yelled from the side, knocking on his pipe, "Your grandfather's style! Hahaha!"

Bucky quietly covered the receiver on the other end of the phone, glanced at the two little friends at the side, and said calmly: "That's it, we'll arrive around ten o'clock."

The other end of the phone is still shouting cheerfully, "Little Luzai, come quickly"...

"Little deer boy be careful on the road"...

"Goodbye Little Deer Boy"...

The suave young James Barnes suddenly began to doubt the correctness of this decision.

How could he have forgotten this? ? ?

……

New Jersey and Brooklyn are separated by a bay.

Barnes's house is on a very gentle hill, surrounded by a dozen or so scattered families. Every house is surrounded by farmland and fruit trees, as well as cats and dogs running around.

Catherine had just put a plate of freshly baked apple and blueberry pie on the table to cool when the doorbell rang.

She took off the apron with a smile, and ran to the door to open the door under Dan's eager eyes.

She was going to give his little deer a hot - such a big swim hug.

When she opened the door, she saw that it was her family's strong and handsome little deer, but Catherine didn't miss the slightly shy little golden retriever behind the brown-haired boy, and the short one in front of Bucky...

short?

Bucky could swear by his future eight-pack that his grandmother had forgotten about Vicky the second she saw him.

The old man always has innumerable affection for a beautiful and well-behaved child, especially when the child is still sick and painful, this affection can be infinitely magnified.

Like it was with Steve before, and it's like it is with Vicky now.

Catherine first gave the smiling girl in the wheelchair an affectionate kiss on the cheek, and then gave the little golden retriever a big swim hug. Bucky, who had planned to get a "spicy - big swim hug", was like that was skipped...

"Steve, long time no see, it seems like you've grown taller again! How are you doing?"

"Welcome, lovely little angel, I'm James' grandmother Catherine, you can just call me Kay."

The little girl who was kissed on the cheek blushed, and slowly groped to give a kiss to Catherine, who bent over caringly, and said softly, "Hello, Kay, I'm Vicky, you have a very sweet fragrance. "

"Oh, that's a freshly made apple and blueberry pie, you're going to love it, come in--Mr. Barnes, be careful!"

Bucky, who was downgraded from "Little Deer Boy" to "Little Mr. Barnes": "...Yes! Yes! Kay!"

……

Today's lunch was fried onions in gravy, baked potato slices, boiled lima beans, fig fritters, vegetable cold cuts, apple blueberry pie, large slices of bread and slices of cottage cheese, butter and tea .

Dan and Bucky are very similar in appearance and personality - although Vicki can't see it, she can feel it in their laughter and the way they talk.

When she gazed at a person wetly and intently with those peacock blue eyes, the other person could always feel respected and cared for, and Dan immediately took care of this girl just like Catherine.

——And they think the best way to take care of them is to tell their grandson: "Take good care of Vicky", "Take Steve and Vicky to play", "Peel these two plates of fruit and give them to them "……some type of.

Mr. Barnes Jr. is also very conscientious and hardworking today.

So before going to the orchard to pick fruit in the afternoon, Bucky put on a big basket, protective gloves, a pole and other equipment on his back, pushed Vicky's wheelchair, followed by the bamboo horse Xiaojin, a group of people went to the orchard in a mighty manner .

As Bucky said before, the Barnes family’s orchard has several black brunet trees. Fortunately, the species of these black berry trees is the most durable “black gem”. It can be stored for more than 6 months.

Late-maturing black gemstones hang on the dark green branches, and the branches are pressed down heavily. The oblate fruit has obvious suture lines, two halves are symmetrical, the fruit surface is purple-black, and there is a thin layer of white mist on the smooth skin. Powdery.

Vicky obviously does not belong to the scope of the labor force. She is sitting below holding the big bamboo basket. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting bright and dark shadows. There are spots of light on her face, and there are patches on her curly black hair. highlights.

……

"Hey, I feel a patch of temperature on my face, is it a patch of sunshine?"

She raised her head and asked the tree.

Hearing this, the boy with brown chestnut hair who had already put on trousers and riding boots, half of his long legs hanging from the branch, shook the branch slightly.

The spots of light also swayed along with his movements, and he smiled slyly, and a smile appeared unconsciously: "Yes, it is on your face, and now they are jumping around."

Viki carefully imagined this scene, and slightly opened his eyes.

The young man with emerald green eyes was tall and tall, hanging on the tree timidly. Looking at this scene, he touched his nose, turned his face uncomfortably, and continued to pick fruits. The bag hanging on his arm soon became more and more full. .

Steve is holding the pole that is much taller than him - a small paper bowl is placed on the head of the pole. When the pole knocks down the fruit, the fruit can fall into the small bowl one by one. , the only drawback is that you can only put one or two at a time, otherwise the bowl will be broken by the weight of the fruit.

Overall, both have their own rewards.

Vicky wore a starry sky blue wide skirt today, she turned her head left and right following the various rustling sounds, and Bucky, who was full of a bag, jumped down directly, with a "boom".

Although the sound of the person landing is not too loud because of his skills, the main reason is that the bag is relatively loud, but it still shocked the girl quite a bit.

"B... Bucky? Are you okay?"

Vicki had a very sympathetic "meat hurt" look on her face, as if she herself had fallen from a tree.

Her face was slightly wrinkled, and her pointed chin was wrinkled into a small walnut with lines because of her closed mouth.

Ba Ji wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with him, but when he saw her expression, he became very playful: "Hey, it seems that my leg fell, and it hurts so much..."

Steve on the side: "..."

The little golden retriever's expression is exactly: Where's the face?The face is a good thing why don't you want it?

Who knew that Vicky frowned instead: "Are you kidding me? I'm not fooled."

Having said that, she still gently turned the wheelchair and came here, as if she wanted to take a look at the situation.

Bucky, who was originally confused by her first sentence with a face of "I was actually seen through", maintained his sitting posture on the ground, winked his eyes at Steve, and raised his eyebrows.

There are two leaves on the brown chestnut hair.

The little golden retriever couldn't help it all of a sudden: "Pfft..."

……

"Hey……"

Halfway through the push, the brunette got stuck in place.

Not only was it stuck in place, but it was also pushed back a few decimeters by an unknown thrust.

Bucky and Steve were startled. Those who pretended to fall and those who lifted the pole threw their original things wherever they wanted, turned over and fixed the receding wheelchair.

——But the road here is flat, and there should be no slope that makes the wheelchair slip backwards.

"There seems to be something in there..."

Viki blinked uncertainly.

Looking in the direction her finger was pointing at, there was an inconspicuous small hole on the ground.

At this moment, there was a small pink claw with nails stretching back from the hole, and Bucky grabbed there with quick eyes and hands - nothing.

"...escaped...like a gopher."

Bucky turned his head and looked at the other two friends.

"It's back..." Steve said suddenly.

Just when they thought that nothing would appear again, another pointed point of the same pink protruded from the hole.

—This time it was not a claw, but a long, slightly flattened snout, a bit like a duck's beak, but with a spherical tip.

The snout protruded longer and longer, and the dark head was also exposed, with two small eyes that were as bright as black beans.

Bucky: "...a platypus?"

Steve: "...duck?"

Wiki: "...???"

The author has something to say: Hello everyone, this is Xiaojun :)

Dragonfly has a lot of things to do recently, busy going to the hospital (just a general check-up), going to the countryside to see grandparents, and then getting ready for a birthday, packing luggage and going to study abroad...

A mess of things.

So sometimes the update time at night will be relatively late. For example, I just finished writing today when I just came back from the country. Fairies who can’t wait don’t want to cultivate immortals!

Anyway, you are already fairies [b(￣▽￣)d
