1042.Chapter 1042: Strange Child
In the silent room, a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old was quietly reading a book, his eyebrows were clear, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his skin was fair.
His body exudes a faint bookish atmosphere, so much like the young master of any family.
Closing the small hole in the dark room, Zi Ye frowned slightly: "Is that him?" ”
"...... right"
"No matter how you look at it, this child doesn't look like a beggar...... Where is he from? ”
"I don't know ......"
"Don't know?" Ziye couldn't help but be even more surprised: "You haven't asked?" ”
"I asked, why didn't I ask?" Lei Xing suddenly smiled bitterly: "But this kid will pretend to be deaf and dumb, and we don't even know his name until now...... No matter what you ask, what you say, it's just a pair of eyes looking at you...... Live or die without opening your mouth...... Unless there is a special need, we will write and communicate with our people......"
"Writing?" Late Autumn unconsciously glanced in the direction of the child, although she couldn't see anything.
"Writing...... Don't look at him who looks quiet, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looks knowledgeable, but when he writes, it really makes people dare not compliment......" Lei Xing said staggeredly: "The words that are written can barely be read...... Some words, it's up to us to guess...... Don't even say it, he can't write all the words, and he still reads there every day......"
"That's because...... This kid has read our words...... But he can't write......" Zi Ye suddenly frowned: "Someone taught him to read...... But he was in a hurry, so he could read a rough idea, but he couldn't write the whole word...... The reason why I read books is because I want to absorb the meaning and knowledge of these words in a short period of time......"
Zi Ye's silver teeth bited, and he looked at Lei Xing and Late Autumn aggressively: "This kid is not from our Nansheng Empire......"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the shock made Late Autumn and Lei Xing freeze there for a while, and they didn't know what to do.
"It's not...... Our people here ......" Lei Xing stumbled a little and said: "But he is a small child, with fine skin and tender meat, and he has never suffered at first glance...... If you come from somewhere else, you will come to the capital after a long journey...... Can that still be ruined with a human appearance? ”
Zi Ye raised his hand to take the fruit tray in Wanqiu's hand, and smiled indifferently, "Just ask?" ”
Late Autumn subconsciously snorted: "But didn't he not speak?" ”
……
"Bang bang bang......" The slight knock on the door made the nerves of the child in the room tense, and he subconsciously stood up and looked at the door with some vigilance.
It wasn't until the knock on the door that he knocked twice again that he cautiously walked over, leaned on the door and listened for a while, before gently opening the door.
Zi Ye was also silent, and handed him the tray with a smile, and at the same time sent a harmless warm smile.
Even though the boy took the tray, he still looked at her with fear, and showed no sign of letting him into the room.
Zi Ye knew that he was rejecting strangers, and he didn't care, he looked innocent, pretending not to understand his hostility, and walked sideways into the room.
"Oh, your room is good, it's clean......"
As she spoke, she walked over to her desk and looked down at the book he was flipping through.
"Gazetteer ......"
This child was in the same situation as when she first came here, and the first thing she read was geography books.
