Li Qi put the mushroom in the bathtub, and at this time, almost all the skin of the mushroom was oozing blood, and even the white dress was gradually dyed blood red.

Mushroom's face was pale, her muscles were bursting up, her blood-red skin was covered with cold scales, and her whole body began to twitch incessantly, if it weren't for Li Qi's tight grip on her hands and feet, she wouldn't have been able to bite like those who had rabies.

"Ahh

Under the pain, Li Qi frowned slightly, he was afraid that the mushroom biting this senior sister of Roy would hurt her, so he unloaded all his strength to resist and endure the bite of the mushroom.

Li Qi hugged Mushroom tightly, patted her back gently, let Mushroom struggle and bite in his arms, and kept whispering softly in Mushroom's ear, "Mushroom, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

I don't know if Li Qi's actions touched the mushroom, or if the alienation subsided on its own, the mushroom that lost his mind slowly stopped struggling, but trembled in Li Qi's arms.

After more than half an hour, Mushroom's breathing began to steady, but warm tears were rolling down.

"Mommy......" Mushroom choked.

"Mushrooms?" said Li Qi.

"Cold ......" mushroom said in a weak tone, and his voice was like a mosquito.

Li Qi's heart was even tighter, but he was still relieved, at least now it seems that Mushroom has recovered his reason from the alienation.

At this time, the mushroom mushroom was already soaked with blood and water, and the wet bloody clothes could no longer hide the girl's secret——— the layers of hard and cold scales.

"Mushroom, mom go get a towel and clothes. Li Qi said gently, "Don't be afraid, wait for my mother to come back." Richie admonished as he ran out of the bathroom.

When Li Qiyi walked out of the bathroom, he found the dragon turtle and the others at the end of the corridor looking sneakily at his side.

"Lady Heroine, what's going on?" said the dragon turtle and the others in unison.

"It's nothing, the mushroom is sick. Li Qi said indifferently.

"Hah, that's serious, will Miss Mushroom be okay?" When the dragon turtle and the others heard this, their faces were a little anxious.

Hearing their anxious tone and expression, Li Qi felt a little comforted in his heart, although his acquaintance with them was only due to interests, and he relied on his own strength, not only with a high-minded face, but also drank with them, but even if they were treated like this, they still had respect for themselves in addition to fear, which made Li Qi have to reflect on his previous attitude of looking down on people.

"It's just a minor illness, you don't have to worry. Rich's tone softened a lot.

"That's good, Miss Mushroom will definitely get better. ”

"Yes, Miss Mushroom is kind-hearted, and God will not be blind to her. ”

"Miss Mushroom said last time that she wanted to eat the soy sauce chicken thighs I made, and when she gets better, make a big plate for her to eat!"

"I remember owing her a bull ride. ”

Listening to these muscular men, Li Qi somehow felt uncomfortable.

"Well, why is Galen crouching in the corner?" Richie saw the evil guy Galen crouching in the corner with his knees cragged like a squatting chicken.

The dragon turtle shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "I don't know why, I squatted there after taking a bath, and I kept saying something 'toothpick' in my mouth." ”

Li Qi pursed his lips and held back a smile, this evil guy was scolding him for being autistic.

After a while, Li Qi returned to the bathroom, holding a large towel and mushroom clothes in his hand. But to Richie's surprise, Mushroom had come to his senses at some point, sitting in the center of the bathtub, bending his body, hanging his head, and letting the splash of the shower wash away.

"Mushroom, this will catch a cold. Li Qi hurriedly turned off the shower, but also found that Mushroom's body was shaking.

It turned out that Mushroom was tearing the scales on the skin of her arm with her hands, she was very hard, but her soft fingers couldn't tear off the hard scales at all, and the tender white jade fingers had already rubbed into blood, and she didn't seem to feel pain, and kept repeating the action of tearing and wiping like a puppet.

"Woo ......"

The mushroom couldn't cry, only the faint sound of breath.

"It's ugly...... It's ugly...... It's ugly......" she whimpered as she tore.

The blood from his fingers made the water in the bathroom, already stained with blood, even more scarlet.

Li Qi felt a sharp pain in his heart that he had never felt before, almost a feeling of suffocation. He squatted in front of Mushroom, slowly reached for Mushroom with trembling hands, wrapped her wet delicate body in a towel, and then gently lifted her little head.

The delicate and lovely face had already been soaked in blood and tears at this time, and the black pupils were restored, and a desperate sadness emerged from the bottom of the eyes, just like the delicate jasper that had lost its luster, lackluster and even lifeless.

"Mom, mushroom...... It's weird...... Mushroom stared at Li Qi, his sad voice staccato off.

Li Qi was stunned, hugged Mushroom's head tightly, buried it in his warm arms, and said softly: "Mushroom is so cute, it's not a monster." ”

Mushroom shook his head excitedly and choked up: "Mom...... Deceitful...... Mushrooms, ugly, not cute, monsters......"

Li Qi gently touched the back of Mushroom's head and smiled lovingly, "Mushroom must not be ugly, because Mushroom is my mother's daughter." ”

"No, mushroom, it's ugly...... Mushroom, it's not the same as Mom......" Mushroom pointed at the scales and shook his head vigorously.

"Mushroom, we're all the same, so Mushroom isn't a monster. ”

But the mushroom still couldn't be moved, and continued to tear the scales while crying.

Li Qi sighed lightly, gently picked up the hand that tore the scales of the mushroom, stared at her tearful eyes, and said softly: "Mushroom is right, mushroom is a monster." ”

Mushroom was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Qi who was smiling in a daze, and tears in his eyes instantly overflowed.

And Li Qi gently wiped away Mushroom's tears, "Because Mom is also a monster, Mushroom is Mom's daughter, so Mushroom is indeed a monster." After all, we are a family, and we are all the same. ”

Mushroom looked at Li Qi intently, and his little face put on a serious expression that he had never seen before, "Really?"

Li Qi nodded and touched Mushroom's little head, "Well, we're all the same, Mushroom is a little monster, and Mom is a big monster." And the big monster loves the little monster just like the mother loves the mushroom. ”

"Where's Daddy?" asked Mushroom, tilting his head.

Li Qi didn't expect Mushroom to ask like this, and his fingers gently pinched Mushroom's Qiong's nose, "Dad too, he's big, big, big, big-monster." As he spoke, his hands gradually spread outward, making a growing movement.

"Poof~" Mushroom wanted to cover his mouth with his hand to hold back his laughter, but before he could cover it, he already laughed.

Mushroom burst into tears and smiled, and also hugged Li Qi, smiling sweetly: "It's so good, it's all the same, Dad, Mom, they are all monsters, they all love Mushrooms." ”

Suddenly, Mushroom lifted Li Qi's clothes again, stretched his little neck, and looked up and down Li Qi's bright skin.

"What's the matter, Mushroom?" Mushroom's move made Li Qi embarrassed and confused.

"Mom, no, scales. Mushroom shook his head, his tone a little disappointed.

Seeing that the mushroom's eyes were a little red, Li Qi smiled helplessly, and decided to round out the white lie, "Mom doesn't have scales now, just like mushrooms, they only grow scales at a certain time." ”

"Is it bleeding too?" said Mushroom's face was innocent and serious.

"Well, it's the same as mushrooms, mom bleeds more. Li Qi didn't think much about it in order to cooperate, and blurted out, but as soon as these words came out, he felt a little embarrassed, why is this conversation so strange, this ambiguous words are more appropriate for Senior Sister Luo to come than for him, the eldest grandfather.

Fortunately, Mushroom didn't dig deeper, and the little face regained his smile and played with water in the bathtub with joy.

Li Qi wiped the blood off Mushroom's little face with water while looking at her dotingly. Although Mushroom is already a girl in the prime of life on the outside, her heart and thoughts are as simple and cute as a child. At this age, the mind is still in the embryonic state, aware of some differences between others and oneself, but not to the stage of strong sense of resistance, so between distinguishing oneself, others and getting the recognition of others, this type of child is more inclined to be recognized by others, and strives to find the same place as others, proving that he is the same as others, not different.

By recalling the theoretical knowledge from the psychological books in the past, coupled with the performance of mushrooms, Li Qi realized that her need was to gain recognition. If she repeatedly emphasized to her that she was not a monster, it was better to comfort her that her mother was a monster like her, and even if she was a monster, there was nothing to be afraid of, because her parents still loved her.

Li Qi took the mushroom in his arms and patted her on the back, a scene that reminded him of listening to nursery rhymes in his grandmother's arms when he was a child, and he couldn't help but hum in a low voice.

"Chicken dolls, the tail is bent, standing on the back of the house to watch the spring ploughing, ten acres of grass, this harvest ......"

"Mom, what song is this? The little head of the mushroom shook gently with Li Qi's beautiful and gentle singing.

"This is a children's song called "Chicken Doll", which was taught to my mother by my mother's grandmother in the past. Li Qi replied, but the next moment he felt that what he said was not quite right.

Eh, it should be Dad's grandmother, forget it, don't care about the details, it's all the same. Richie shrugged.

Chicken doll tail bends

Stand on the back of the house and watch the spring ploughing

Ten acres of grain This harvest is a bumper harvest

Chicken dolls, how much do you have to say?

Filling the barn makes me smile

Catch up with spring ploughing and bend the back

The scorching sun is so fast to the West Mountain

Ten acres of grain land have my hands

Even if I do horses and cows

How long to cut to a thousand loads

......

The touching and soft singing voice floated in the small bathroom, long and peaceful, intoxicating like a spring breeze, and the mushroom closed her eyes and fell asleep sweetly, and the little face buried in her mother's arms was so peaceful and happy.
