Chapter I, Section 2
The next day, I got out of bed at 6 o'clock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause of taking care of me all night, Aunt Shenhong hasn't gotten up yet. Xiao Xi is already taking care of the plants in the botanical garden, while Xiao Pi is out for a morning run. So, I went to the restaurant alone. The layout of the restaurant is in the Western European style of the Middle Ages, and in the middle is a long table covered with white cloth, which is full of cutlery such as knives and forks, and two vases filled with white roses, which are said to be the favorite flowers of Aunt Shenhong's lover, so these two vases have been filled with fresh white roses for many years. There is also a vintage candle chandelier directly above the long table, and the fireplace opposite the long table is now on fire.
Once I had pulled out a court dining chair and sat down, Maggie the skeletal servant brought breakfast. Maggie has been in the Deep Rainbow family for more than 10 years and is an outstanding product of the Magic Society. When I first entered Shenhong's house and saw her for the first time, I was so scared that I fainted!!
Because Maggie's whole body is modeled after human bones. Although a crimson cute maid outfit is covered over the skeleton. But the exposed bones are still very scary, especially when talking to her, staring at the black eye hole and the jawbone that closes is always creepy. When I was young, I also had a whimsical idea to find out the secret of how Maggie saw things and how she spoke, but I was too scary to dismiss this idea.
Don't look at Maggie to look terrifying, but she is very capable, not only does she take care of all the daily chores of the entire manor, but also repairs water pipes, repairs electrical appliances, and several times fights off thieves alone. Because of her ability, I heard that Aunt Shenhong had promised Maggie that at the end of her 20-year service, she would not only set her free, but also give her a fairy vegetable that could make her a human.
While eating toast, I thought about the things I thought about last night again, if I asked about my mother, it was actually best to ask Aunt Shenhong, but whenever I discussed the topic of my mother with Aunt Shenhong, she always had a painful expression on her face, and she couldn't say a word in a choked voice.
Xiao Xi and Xiao Pi were too young to ask anything. In this case, you can only ask the Hu family, who have close ties with the Chong family. The Hu family includes Uncle Emperor, Aunt Huo, and Uncle Hitomi.
First of all, Uncle Hitomi, 40 years old this year, is a classmate of Aunt Shenhong and is a researcher. The one who knows his mother should be looking for Uncle Hitomi, who is the same year as Aunt Shenhong, but Uncle Hitomi is locked up in research all the year round, and no one is seen. Even if it is a gathering of two families, it is rarely attended. Over the years, I have only met Uncle Hitomi two or three times in the Hu family.
The second is Aunt Huo, 55 years old this year, is Uncle Hitomi's mother, and as the only woman in the Hu family, she should have a clue, but Aunt Huo usually stays at home, and even the procurement of daily necessities is handled by Uncle Di. Every time there is a family gathering, it is Uncle Di who goes out in the company, why call Aunt Huo instead of Grandma Huo? Not only does Aunt Huo look young, but more importantly, Uncle Di's persistence.
Uncle Tei, Uncle Hitomi's father, is a retired police officer. I'm 60 years old this year, and although I'm not confused, I look as young as 35 years old. So we are not allowed to call him uncle, but can only call him Uncle Emperor, probably if I call him Brother Emperor, I guess he is more willing, but if I shout like this, I guess my goosebumps will fall to the ground. Uncle Di is a police officer, and if my mother had gone missing, he would have provided some useful information.
By the time I finished breakfast, the sun was already shining through the long windows of the dining room, I stretched, okay, cheer up, for a new day!!!! I picked up my painting tools, said hello to Maggie, and went out. Riding his beloved bicycle, Mao Mao went straight to Wolf Mao Lane, where Hu's house was located.
The Hu family is a two-story small bungalow, although it is not as luxurious as the Poison Manor, but under the care of Aunt Huo, it looks like home. In the past, when I was passing by from school, I would always come in and chat with Aunt Huo, have a cup of tea and a small snack, and then go back to Poison Manor. When I arrived at Hu's house, the sun was shining on the roof of Hu's house, and Aunt Huo was tending to her vegetables in the garden. The golden sunlight shone on Aunt Huo's body, casting a layer of golden light on her long black and straight hair, and her originally round face became more and more charitable, and for a moment, I thought it was a fairy who had descended to earth.
Aunt Fire saw me and greeted me familiarly. "Xi'er, why is it so early?"
"Aunt Huo, I miss your millet porridge, so I came here so early to rub breakfast. I said sweetly
"Yes, I'll eat more, ah, wait until I get this vegetable patch ready, or the sun won't be easy." Aunt Fire said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, okay, Aunt Huo, I'm here to help too!!" I quickly put away my bicycle and walked into the vegetable patch in small steps.
"Hey, this anxious child" Aunt Fire smiled even more.
While I was helping Aunt Huo collect vegetables, I needed to find Uncle Di around, but I didn't find anyone in the house. So I pretended to be curious and asked, "Aunt Huo, where did Uncle Di go? Haven't you gotten up yet? Why don't you come to help you?"
"He, don't talk about him, he usually hasn't gotten up at this time, let alone help, today, he went to the old fishing cave to fish at 5 o'clock. ”
"Ah!! when will he be back?" I asked.
"Tomorrow!" Aunt Fire replied faintly.
"Ahh!!h I couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"What's the matter?" Aunt Fire looked at me curiously.
"No, no, there's bugs, wow!!" I pretended to be surprised at the sight of bugs. ”
"Hehe, you better sit and wait!" Aunt Huo said with a smile of understanding.
With an embarrassed smile, I went to sit under the eaves, thinking to myself that I would have to make a trip to the old fishing cave, but I didn't know the way。。。。。。 What should I do, when I was distressed, I suddenly remembered that Xiaopi had gone camping with his classmates in the old fishing cave before. Yes, call Pi immediately.
While I was thinking, Aunt Huo had already finished the vegetable patch, walked over and said, "Okay, Xi'er, come, I'll make you millet porridge." "By the way, I forgot that I just said that I wanted to eat millet porridge, so I had to smile and accompany Aunt Huo into the house.
Uncle Di, you must not leave so early after fishing, otherwise I will have to wait until tomorrow to come to you, I prayed in my heart all the way, and ate a big bowl full of millet porridge all the way, uh, so full!! two breakfasts!!! it seems that lunch can also be canceled. After saying goodbye to Aunt Huo, I called Xiaopi at a nearby park, and then set off for the old fishing cave.
