Chapter 230: The Master Seeks Friends (2)
The two were waiting in the living room, and the smell of food was already coming from the dining room next door. Ning Meng subconsciously looked at the time, it was a little late to eat at this time.
After a while, a little boy dressed like a little master came out, although he didn't know Ning Meng and Mingxi at all, he also told the people who accompanied him that these two were his friends.
When there were only three people left in the room, the little boy asked, "You were sent by Cherry." ”
Ning Meng smiled: "Yes, we were sent by her." She wants to see you. Would you like to let her go?"
The little boy looked sad and said, "But I can't get out." They didn't approve of me having any more dealings with the children in the orphanage, and of course they wouldn't invite Cherry as a guest. ”
As soon as he said this, a key person came in and said, "Mr. Xiao Luo, the meal has been prepared in front, please invite the guests to dine together." ”
The boy said, "I'll just talk to them here, and I'll eat later." ”
The housekeeper said, "But Mr. Luo had already instructed you to dine at ten o'clock before he left home." It's ten o'clock now, and it's time to eat. ”
The little boy looked embarrassed, but he had to follow the butler. Ning Meng didn't see anyone else, and also went to the restaurant together.
The little boy sat at the top of a long table, hesitating and too short, so he had to add a height pad. Ning Meng and Ming Xi sat on the left and right.
Several girls who were about the same age as Ning Meng took turns to put sandwiches, salads, coffee, omelettes and other foods on the table, a typical Western-style brunch.
The boy's posture of holding the knife and fork is extremely exquisite, but it is not natural. No matter what he ate and drank, the butler kept an eye on him, and if he drank a little more soup and cut a piece of meat a little smaller, the butler would teach him a lesson in etiquette.
Ning Meng felt tired when she looked at it, and she didn't know how the little boy endured it.
The little boy said, "Go out, all of you, and I'll talk to the guests." ”
The girls who had just been in charge of serving the food and pouring the coffee withdrew, and their manners were very deferential, only the butler remained unmoved, and still stood in place.
The little boy said, "Please go out too." ”
The housekeeper said, "Mr. Luo, I respect Mr. Luo's instructions to take care of your daily life, brunch is the most important part, I will not leave at this time." ”
The boy put down his knife and fork and said, "My father didn't say I can't dine alone with the guests." Besides, I was the master of this house when my father was away, so now your master asks you to leave. ”
The housekeeper had no choice but to withdraw.
When the butler had left, the little boy exhaled and said, "You can count on coaxing him away." It scared the hell out of me. If he still refuses to leave, I don't know what to do, so I'll eat first, and I'll take you to see my room after dinner. ”
After the housekeeper left, the little boy devoured his meal and took Ning Meng and Mingxi upstairs.
The little boy took out a box from under the bed and said, "Look at this." ”
Ning Meng and Mingxi glanced at each other and opened the box. I saw that the box was full of photos, some with frames, some just a single photo. The people in each photo are different, but they are all young boys of different races and colors. Look at that age and the little boy in front of him should be about the same age.
Ning Meng asked, "What is this?"
The little boy said, "I don't know." This room was already packed up when I first came to this house. Whether it's the clothes in the closet or the various utensils, it's all new. It's just that this box has been under the bed, and I guess I forgot to take it out when I was cleaning, so I've been here all along. I looked at the pictures of the little boy and thought it was strange, and I heard that my adoptive father had never had a wife, so I really didn't understand why he adopted me. ”
Ning Meng looked at those photos, although they were still from different countries and regions, they were all clean and delicate children, and they were all handsome little guys who were dressed up properly. What made Ning Meng even more puzzled was that each of them had a white rose pinned to their chests.
Ning Meng glanced at the little boy in front of him, and there was also an identical white rose pinned to his chest.
"What is this?"
The little boy looked at the rose on his chest and said, "My adoptive father said that this is a family symbol and asked me to wear it every day." ”
"Do you change it every day, or do you just wear this one all the time?"
"I wear this one every day. ”
Ning Meng carefully compared the roses in the photo with the roses worn by the little boy. She was sure that it wasn't the roses that looked alike, but that the roses were the same at all.
That means that the little boy in the photo may also be the adopted son of Mr. Luo, so where are these children now?
Ning Meng had a bad idea in her mind, and because this idea was too evil, Ning Meng immediately denied the idea.
No, it won't be.
Ning Meng said: "Did your adoptive father do something strange or say something strange to you?" ”
The boy said, "I didn't do anything strange to me, but he always told me to eat on time." Say yes this way, you can grow taller and grow up faster. It's not strange to let the housekeeper stare at every meal. ”
Ning Meng was glad that nothing had happened now, so he said: "Remember to open the window at night, I will give you a little white dog as a pet, if something dangerous happens, he will protect you." ”
The little boy was a little puzzled and said, "There are already a few golden retrievers outside, and there are monitors and bodyguards inside and outside this house, if it is to protect my safety, I am afraid that a little white dog is not enough." ”
Ning Meng said: "I'm not for you, I'm for the cherry." You're Cherry's most important friend, and I won't let you get hurt in the slightest until she meets you. ”
The little boy showed a hint of self-reproach on his face and said, "I said that I would protect the cherry, but now let her protect me." ”
Ning Meng said: "Friends are friends who protect each other, so accept Cherry's heart." ”
Back at the Worry Relief House, Xiaobai had already brought a document over. Mr. Luo, who had never married a wife but adopted a little boy, really had a problem. He has adopted fifty-two children in various countries and regions of the world, including fifty-three young boys he sees today. On average, he has to adopt a new child in three to four months, because the children come from different places and the orphanage can't exchange information with each other, so he doesn't even find out about it.
"Fifty-two, so many children, where have they gone?"
Mingxi said: "A few hundred years ago, there was a popular saying among the dignitaries and nobles of mankind that it was said that collecting the blood of fifty-four boys could bless him with endless wealth in his life, I don't know if this Mr. Luo is making such a plan." ”
Ning Meng said: "If this is the case, then the children in the photo are afraid that they have already died." ”
Xiaobai said: "Boss Meng, since you have obtained the ability of the badge, have you seen or smelled anything unusual in that villa?" ”
Ning Meng thought about it for a while and said, "The housekeeper in that villa is a little strange, and the people in the whole villa seem to be afraid of him. But I looked closely, and there was no turbidity on him, so he shouldn't be a monster. ”
Xiao Hei said: "But there is no turbidity on Boss Meng, but Boss Meng is the big monster of our Spirit Fox Clan." ”
Xiao Hei's unintentional words reminded Ning Meng.
Ning Meng said: "Could it be that the butler is also like me, with human blood flowing in his body, and the other part of his bloodline is also from other races?"
Mingxi said: "Not necessarily, if it is a big monster, even if there is no human blood on its body, as long as it lives among humans for a long time, it will control its turbidity and not scatter." ”
Ning Meng thought that she had clearly seen the turbidity on Chiyan's body. Chiyan is a big monster with mana comparable to Mingxi, if that housekeeper is really a monster who can control his turbidity, then it means that Mingxi is not his opponent. If this is the case, it is not just a matter of the client's wishes, it is really complicated.
What kind of unfortunate thing that doesn't give up wants to covet humans. It won't have anything to do with me this time.
Ning Meng was a little weak unconsciously, and she sneezed with chills all over her body. When Xiao Hei saw it, he hurriedly ran to get a blanket and put it on her.
Mingxi shook Ning Meng's hand and said, "It's okay, no matter what happens, I'll be on your side." ”
Xiao Hei hurriedly said: "And me, and me, I have always been on the side of Boss Meng." ”
Xiao Bai nodded slightly, indicating that he was the same.
Ning Meng said: "Before I find out what is strange about that Luo family, I will have to work hard for you to stay with that little boy as a pet." If things really go the way we think, the problem is big. ”
Xiaobai said: "I understand, I'll go over now." Woof. ”
Ning Meng said: "Did the bloody thing you said happen later?"
Mingxi said: "After the human dynasty hundreds of years ago was overthrown, the new royal family in order to clean up the government, this kind of crooked and evil deeds were naturally straightened out for a while. But only three generations later, the matter was dug up again. Not only that, but the people of that dynasty are also masculine, saying that it is such a two-pronged approach, and the effect is higher. ”
Ning Meng said: "This is really full of warm thoughts." The dynasty you are talking about is a magnificent and glorious development in the history of mankind. It's okay to say that this is wishful thinking, but it is too much to use children who use material things. By the way, how old is that kid?"
Xiao Hei hurriedly said, "There are three days left before the fourteenth birthday." She was very happy that she could answer Ning Meng's question.
Ning Meng said: "I can really pinch and calculate, especially if I find a fourteen-year-old child, it will be difficult to convict him when I really dig out some old accounts in the future." ”
