Chapter 21: The First Ignorant Girl in History
After a while, Mu An'an accepted this result, and he quickly went back to the bedroom to sleep, as for why he went to bed so early, in addition to being tired, he actually had the idea of meeting the little girl again in his dream.
It's a pity that there was no dream all night, and when Mu An'an woke up, the first thing he did was to pick up the small mirror by the bedside and look around.
After getting rid of the noisy entanglement of the chatter, Mu Anan did not want to be as happy as he imagined, but he felt a little lost.
Mu Anan got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked into the bathroom, and after solving his physiological problems, he began to wash.
Mechanically squeeze the toothpaste, put the toothbrush into the mouth, brush the upper and lower teeth repeatedly, wait until the mouth is full of foam, spit it out, rinse your mouth, take the facial cleanser you bought at the 2 dollar store and start applying it to your face.
After Mu An'an painted his entire face with this pitch-black "volcanic mud", he was about to pick up the towel on the side to wipe his face clean, but he just reached over and pinched a corner of the towel, and before he could pick it all up, he accidentally missed it and dropped the towel on the floor.
Mu An'an squinted his eyes and was about to squat down to pick it up, but before he could start fumbling, the towel had already been handed back to him.
"Here you go. The man who handed the towel said softly.
"Thank you. Mu Anan naturally thanked him.
He wiped his face dry with a towel, only to realize that something seemed wrong.
Mu An'an raised his head to look at the mirror in front of him, and found a little girl in red clothes and long hair, standing behind him with a smile on her face.
Mu An'an was immediately frightened and screamed.
"What the hell!"
The little girl's smile stopped abruptly, and she said bitterly: "Big brother, I said it all, I'm not a ghost. ”
When Mu Anan heard this, he barely calmed down, he carefully looked at the "female ghost" in the mirror, and realized that it was really the little girl from yesterday.
He looked carefully at the little girl in the mirror, but the long hair of the little girl's shawl yesterday was now almost draped down his waist, no wonder he didn't recognize her at the first time.
"It's you, it really scared me. Mu Anan patted his chest and said, and after speaking, he asked again: "Where did you go yesterday? Why did you disappear as soon as you said you wanted to rest?"
The little girl shook her head, and the answer was still "I don't know".
Mu An'an was naturally accustomed to the little girl's "ignorance", he looked at the little girl in the mirror, then at the washbasin, and asked tentatively: "Do you use it, wash?"
The little girl reached out to the water, and the water passed through her hand without making the slightest splash, as if the little girl's hand did not exist.
"Big brother, I can't touch it. ”
Mu An'an nodded and said nothing, he obviously didn't notice that the little girl was just about to pick up the towel.
When she walked out of the bathroom, the little girl suddenly thanked her, "Big brother, thank you for that apple yesterday." ”
"It's nothing, if you want to eat it, there's still half a pear in the fridge. Mu An'an waved his hand, and although he said this casually, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a smile.
"No, big brother, I'm not hungry right now. ”
Mu An'an nodded, he looked at the wall clock on the wall, because he went to bed early yesterday, so he woke up relatively early today, even after washing, it was only six o'clock now, and Yin Xiyao made an appointment to meet at nine o'clock, so he was not in a hurry now.
While Mu An'an was watching the clock, the little girl was wandering around the house, and she asked curiously, "But, big brother, what is the refrigerator you just mentioned?"
In the face of the little girl's question, Mu Anan seemed to be a lot more patient today, he led the little girl to the front of the old refrigerator and said: "It's this big white box, which is used to refrigerate food, and it usually contains a lot of delicious food." ”
As he spoke, he opened the refrigerator door, but there was only a poor little pineapple on the refrigeration shelf, the kind that had been gnawed by someone.
"That's what big brother you said was a lot of good food?"
Looking at the questioning gaze cast by the little girl, Mu Anan smiled and explained: "Eh...... I mean in general. ”
The little girl didn't go into too much detail about Mu An'an's inappropriate introductions, and she looked around with her little hands behind her back, obviously curious about everything in the room.
The little girl pointed to the old TV and asked, "Big brother, what is this black box?"
"It's called a TV, and when you turn it on, you can see a lot of wonderful images. ”
"What about this thing?"
"It's a phone, a landline phone to be exact, and you can use it to contact people. ”
"Where's this?"
"That's an electric fan, it's used to blow the air. ”
"This?"
"That's the tube, it's used for lighting at night. ”
"This?"
"That's ......"
……
In the next period of time, the little girl asked almost all the modern equipment in the house, and Mu Anan took the trouble to answer them one by one.
Finally, when the little girl stopped questioning for a while, Mu An'an preemptively proposed before she could ask the next question: "Why don't I come back and continue to introduce you, I'm going to starve to death." ”
The expression on the little girl's little face, which was still full of interest, changed instantly, and she asked with a worried face, "Big brother, are you going to die?"
Mu Anan didn't expect the little girl to even misunderstand this sentence, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, I mean I'm about to starve to death." ”
Mu An'an deliberately accentuated the word "hungry".
The little girl still didn't understand this rhetorical device, and her big eyes were filled with tears.
"Big brother, I don't want you to die. The little girl said with tears in her voice.
With that, she walked to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door, and wanted to pick up the pineapple to satisfy Mu An'an's hunger, but she couldn't reach it, and her onion fingers always crossed the pear.
After trying several times, but to no avail, the little girl turned around, and the pear blossom cried like rain: "Big brother, I can't touch it." ”
Looking at the little girl's kind and cute but silly behavior, Mu Anan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he tried his best to explain in a more amiable tone: "Don't worry, I won't die." ”
"But you just said it yourself......"
"I'm just rhetoric, do you understand rhetoric? It's just ......" Mu An'an was halfway through his speech, and suddenly found that he couldn't explain the rhetorical device in detail, so he changed his words, "Anyway, I won't die in a short time, you can rest assured!"
The little girl stopped crying, nodded and said, "That's good." ”
Mu An'an's face inadvertently showed a smile, this is the first time since he was born that he has been cared for so "nuanced", what if he is a little happy?
And he apparently didn't pay attention to how the little girl opened the refrigerator door.
Before going out, Mu An'an walked to the old man's spiritual seat, put on three pillars of incense, made three prayers, and prayed that nothing unexpected would happen today.
The little girl looked at Mu An'an's actions and didn't ask much this time, she seemed to know the meaning of Mu An'an's actions.
However, she probably couldn't understand Mu An'an's next move, only to see Mu An'an walk behind the old man's spiritual seat, stretched out his hand and kept groping on the back of the old man's posthumous photo, and then took back his hand with a few red tickets contentedly.
"Ever since I was a child, the old man always liked to tell me not to put all the eggs in one bag, and it seems that there is a certain truth. ”
Walking out of the community with the little girl, the door was still guarded by the young man on duty at night, compared to Uncle Sun, Mu An'an was much more distant from the other doorman, so he simply said hello and left.
Unexpectedly, the little girl on the side looked very puzzled at this time, and she asked, "Big brother, isn't he your uncle?
Listening to the little girl's innocent and curious tone, Mu Anan really didn't want to make too many comments on her inappropriate words, so he could only force himself to explain calmly: "He's not my uncle. ”
"But big brother, didn't you say ...... yesterday?"
"But the man I talked about yesterday is not him at all, can't you see it?"
Although Mu An'an had tried his best to control the tone of his voice, it still sounded like a reproach.
The little girl said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, big brother, but the two of them look too similar." ”
Mu Anan really couldn't understand the similarity between Uncle Sun and this young man on night duty, the only thing they seemed to have in common was that they were both men.
Two people...... Oh no, it should be Mu An'an walking into the breakfast shop he usually eats alone.
As soon as he entered the door, Mu An'an was very familiar with choosing a position to sit by the window, he was originally sitting in front of the window, but thinking that he could not see the little girl through the mirror from such a perspective, so he got up and sat on the opposite side.
"You're going to ...... Do you want to eat?"
At the beginning of speaking, Mu An'an did not deliberately control his voice, and spoke as loudly as usual, but later he reacted and whispered.
In the vacant seat where Mu An'an sat at the beginning, a young female voice sounded.
"No, big brother, I'm not hungry yet. ”
Mu Anan was worried that she was embarrassed, so he reconfirmed in a low voice: "Really?"
"Thank you, big brother, I'm really not hungry at all. ”
Listening to the little girl's tone, it didn't seem like she was being stubborn, mainly because Mu Anan thought that the girl was not an ordinary person after all, so he nodded and stopped persuading.
Immediately, Mu Anan beckoned to the breakfast shop owner and asked for a scallion pancake and a cup of hot soy milk.
Although Mu An'an deliberately lowered his voice, the owner of the breakfast shop had already noticed his strange behavior, after all, he was just a customer of the breakfast shop now.
The middle-aged boss surnamed Zhao walked over with the scallion pancakes and soy milk that had just been spread out and were hot, and he sat down opposite Mu An'an and asked, "Xiao Mu, who are you talking to?"
Mu Anan and Boss Zhao are not familiar with each other, but they are by no means more than nodding friends, with the long-term plan of coming here for breakfast in the future, Mu Anan did not talk nonsense, and said with a dry smile: "I will talk to myself, talk to myself." ”
Boss Zhao sat down and found that there was nothing to talk about, after all, he was born in 81 years and was next to the old post-80s generation in the post-70s era, and Mu An'an, an authentic post-90s young man who had just entered the society for less than two years, there seemed to be nothing to talk about except work.
So Boss Zhao looked for this topic and asked, "I heard Uncle Sun say that you have found a job, where are you doing things?"
Mu Anan didn't pay attention to Boss Zhao's problem at all, his attention was all attracted by the glass behind Boss Zhao.
Because Boss Zhao couldn't see the little girl, he behaved very naturally when he sat down just now, and the little girl didn't have time to react before he occupied the seat.
And because the little girl couldn't touch him at all, he sat down and directly enveloped the little girl's petite body.
