Chapter 229: The Master Seeks Friends (1)
Probably because adults are becoming more and more realistic now, and the people who have come to the house to make wishes recently are children. The little girl in front of the door looked like she was in the first and second grades of elementary school at most. With a pigtail on one side, it looks very playful and cute. It's just that the bow used to tie the hair has been used many times, and it is a little decolorized.
The little girl's clothes were obviously a little white after being washed many times, the edges of her jeans were also frayed, and her walking posture was a little awkward, apparently because the shoes on her feet did not fit.
What is the use of such a little girl's wishes?
Xiao Hei led the little girl to sit on the sofa and brought refreshments, every move was very serious and careful, and with a hint of pious relief. Xiao Hei was obviously unfamiliar with doing these things, but Ning Meng could see that she was extremely concerned.
Ning Meng gently shook Xiao Hei's hand and said, "Don't be nervous, you're doing a good job." Now go to the inner room, I'll call you if there's something. ”
Xiao Hei went out obediently and stood at the door of the inner room, for fear that Ning Meng would call her, and she wouldn't hear it.
The little girl said, "That little brother is gone, and I want to find that little brother." As he spoke, he handed over a bracelet.
Ning Meng has had an ability since she left Lingshan to see the memories in the client's mind, and when she took the bracelet, she saw the memories of the little girl and the "little brother" in her mouth.
In the memory of the little girl, she was only about three or four years old, and there was a little boy next to her who was older, but at most only seven or eight years old.
The little girl didn't know where she had been wronged, and she kept crying there.
"Cherry, don't be afraid, whoever bullied you, I'll teach him a lesson for you!" the little boy swore an oath, as if he were a protective god.
Cherry continued to wipe her tears and said, "They said my parents hated me, so they didn't want me." ”
The little boy said nonchalantly, "What's there, which one of us here is not the same." If Mom and Dad liked us, they wouldn't have thrown us here. ”
"But they say I'm different. Because I have a name. ”
"Forget the name. Didn't I tell you? You'll be called Cherry from now on. ”
As he spoke, the little boy took out a carefully wrapped bag of cherries from his pocket and handed it to the little girl, saying, "I have stolen them from the kitchen while they are not paying attention, and they have all been washed, so you can eat them." ”
The little girl hesitated, but picked it up and ate one, with a smile on her face.
"Is it sweet?" asked the little boy.
The little girl nodded and said, "Sweet, delicious." ”
The little boy handed her another cherry and said, "Eat more." ”
The little girl pushed the cherry to the little boy and said, "You can eat it too." ”
Ning Meng heard the name "cherry" and couldn't help but think of her grandmother, blinked her eyes, and continued to look at the little girl's memory.
At this time, the sullen face was replaced by the little boy who accompanied her, and the comforting character became a little girl.
The little girl said, "It's a good thing that someone adopts you, and you will have your own home in the future, don't cry." ”
The little boy wiped a handful, snot and tears all over his sleeve and said, "What's so good about that." I've been to school and I've remembered everything, and of course I know that I'm adopted, so what's the point. ”
The little girl lowered her head and played with a piece of grass and said, "If anyone is willing to adopt me, I am willing to forget everything in the past and remember my parents." ”
The little boy said, "Will you forget me too?"
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "I don't know." ”
The little boy said, "Don't forget me, remember that I will always protect you." ”
"Liar. You'll leave tomorrow, leaving me alone. How do you protect me. ”
"It's fine. You wear this, as soon as you're in danger, shout and I'll show up. As he spoke, the boy put a bracelet made of red string on the little girl's hand.
The little girl looked at it and said, "You made it up?"
"Well, do you like it?"
To be honest, the bracelet is not delicate at all, even a child knows that the handiwork is rough. The little girl looked at the little boy's expectant eyes, didn't want to hurt him or lie to him, but asked, "Then what do I shout at the bracelet?"
The little boy thought for a moment and said, "Just call my brother." Then I'll protect you. ”
"Call brother, you appeared?"
"Yes. But there's a chance I'll transform. It may not be the way it is now, but I will definitely come. ”
"You're going to transform, so powerful?"
"Yes. Of course. ”
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow you will be leaving, and I don't know what the person who will pick you up will be." Are your parents good to you? They'll be nice to you, won't they?"
The little boy was also worried about the same problem, but he didn't want the little girl to worry, and said confidently, "Of course." They must be the best people in the world. You are waiting for me here, and I will pick you up later. ”
"When you go to your new home, you must pay attention to your appearance, and you can't just wipe your nose with your sleeve anymore. ”
The little boy was a little embarrassed and agreed, "Well, I will pay attention." ”
The little girl said, "Okay, then let's pull the hook." ”
"Yes!"
The little girl seemed to be still at ease, and asked, "But I don't know what your name is?"
"You just remember that I'm a good person, a good person. ”
The little girl smiled and said, "Hahaha, good guy, good guy, good guy......"
Ning Meng took a deep breath, as if she had woken up from the illusion, and asked, "So the person you are looking for is the 'good brother' who gave you the bracelet?"
The little girl nodded yes.
Ning Meng only thought that the little girl was just from a poor family, but she never expected that she came from an orphanage, and finally made a friend, but that person was adopted early, and since then she has become lonely again. Ning Meng felt a little smug in her heart, there are people in this world who are worse than herself, isn't this little girl in front of her one?
Ning Meng asked, "What will you do after you find him?"
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "I just want to ask him how he is doing." ”
"And then?"
"I'd be happy to know he's doing well. ”
"What if he's having a bad day?"
"Then I'll yell at the bracelet and tell him to come back quickly. ”
This kid is really innocent.
Ning Meng asked, "So what are you willing to pay in order to realize this wish?"
The little girl said, "This bracelet is my favorite thing, and I am willing to pay for my favorite thing." ”
Ning Meng looked at the bracelet, it was really a handmade and rough bracelet, no matter who looked at it, they would only think that it was just a rough handicraft. The only precious thing in this is the heart that the little boy contained in it when he gave this thing.
Ning Meng put the bracelet back into the little girl's hand and said, "I received my heart, but I want something else as a reward." ”
The little girl said, "But I have nothing of value." ”
Ning Meng pointed to the headband on the little girl's hair and said, "Then give this to me." ”
The little girl hesitated for a moment and said, "But this thing is old." ”
"It's okay, that's enough. ”
The little girl untied her hairband, held it in both hands and gave it to Ning Meng.
In the evening, Ning Meng locked herself in her room and quietly looked at the two headbands. Because of long periods of use, the headbands have become wrinkled, and one of them is a little shorter than the other. The long one had a hole at the end, and the short one had a little grease that couldn't be washed off.
Xiao Hei knocked on the door and didn't come in, but just said outside the door: "The new headband has been sent to the client, may I ask if Boss Meng has anything else to order." ”
Ning Meng said, "It's okay, go back and rest." ”
Xiao Hei was worried that he was not thoughtful enough, so he immediately said, "It's late, I'll help Boss Meng make the bed and then go." ”
Ning Meng said: "It's okay, I'll just make it myself today." ”
After Xiao Hei was gone, Ning Meng looked at the two hairs and brought them into his senses. That little girl's name is Cherry, and she has these two cherry-red headbands, and I think my grandmother looked like this when she was young. But that person is not his grandmother, but the descendant of the man who rules the servants in the world.
Ning Meng smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in her heart, it seems that I should change my name to Ying Meng, not Ning Meng.
She didn't bother to make the bed and slept directly with her clothes.
The next day, Ning Meng got up early in the morning and called Mingxi out and went straight to the little boy's adoptive family.
Mingxi saw Ning Meng's brows tightened, as if she was preoccupied, and said, "That little girl is just called Cherry." She's actually an ordinary client just like everyone else. ”
Ning Meng held the steering wheel with both hands, did not squint, and replied "I know".
"Now in a traffic jam, I'll take you a little faster. ”
"No, I don't. In human society, I want to be as human as possible. ”
Mingxi stopped talking and sat in the co-pilot with peace of mind. He has lived in human society for more than 2,000 years and is still not accustomed to human technology, and that is because he has never regarded himself as an immortal. Ning Meng is the same, even if she goes to Lingshan and can conjure nine tails anytime and anywhere, she still prefers human life, because he has always treated himself as a human being.
The little boy's adoptive family lives in a villa in the suburbs, and according to Ning Meng's knowledge, this belongs to a wealthy family. On the lawn, a few golden retrievers are playing with automatic sprinklers, and behind a large arch is a white European-style building, which looks fresh and natural on a spring day.
"It looks like it's still a good family, and I should be very happy to be adopted by such a family," Ning Meng parked the car in front of the door and said, "Do you think he will still remember that little girl?"
Mingxi said: "Just like you always remember Gui Yuyue, human beings will always remember their best friends." ”
Ning Meng smiled: "You don't know about human beings, human beings can be more affectionate than Jin Jian or ungrateful." fell from the orphanage into the nest of wealth, and no one dared to guarantee whether he would be the same as before. ”
At this time, a well-dressed young man came out and opened the door for Ning Meng, asked about the intention, and looked embarrassed. He went back and inquired before introducing Ning Meng and Mingxi into the villa.
