Chapter 113: The Little Girl (Part II)
Ling Er didn't answer Liu Hanchu's words for a while, she stared at Liu Hanchu for a long time before she spit out a word: "Okay." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Next, Liu Hanchu asked the housekeeper's mother if she could let Ling'er rest for a day today, and the housekeeper's mother naturally agreed, after all, Liu Hanchu was the eldest master's cronies, how could she dare to offend. Liu Hanchu took Ling'er outside, because Ling'er likes to eat, Liu Hanchu took Ling'er to a better small restaurant, because he had to discuss something with Ling'er, so the two sat in a separate room on the second floor.
Ling Er was not in a hurry to eat, she sat quietly at the table, she hung her head, so Liu Hanchu couldn't see her expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking at this moment.
The surroundings were a little quiet, and Liu Hanchu was not good at talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. After a while, Liu Hanchu said, "Miss Ling, you can eat something first." ”
Ling Er didn't eat immediately, but raised his head, looked at Liu Hanchu, and said, "If you want to ask, just ask, why do you want to say what you say?" ”
Since she asked like this, Liu Hanchu had no choice but to say, "Miss Ling, why did you appear in the ancient mansion?" ”
Ling Er's face changed slightly, there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes, she lowered her head to look at the desktop again, and said, "Why can't I appear here?" If your family bought me in, why do you ask me why? ”
After a pause, Ling Er whispered again, "Since you want to know, then okay, I'll tell you." I was originally from the mountains, and I have lived with my father since I was a child, and we made a living by collecting medicine or hunting. My father went to collect medicine that day, and he still didn't come back the next day, and I didn't care, because my father used to be like this. Later, on the fourth day, my father still didn't come back, and I felt that something was wrong, so I went to the mountains to look for my father, and I didn't find my father for a long time, and it was getting dark, and I wasn't afraid of the dark, but I was afraid that something would happen to my father. Afterward...... Later......"
Speaking of this, Ling Er's voice gradually choked again, she lowered her head, Liu Hanchu couldn't see her face, but clearly saw that two tears fell out of her eyes, hit the table, and smudged on the tablecloth. Then two more tears fell, her tears flowed so quickly, one after another, Liu Han gasped for a while, he didn't comfort anyone, and now he didn't know what to do at all, so he could only sit opposite her in a daze, quietly, unable to say a word.
Ling Er wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and said in a thick crying voice, "Later, I saw ...... in the mountains Saw Daddy's corpse...... Daddy at that time...... Daddy...... Lying there, disemboweled...... His body was covered in blood...... The entrails were all eaten by the beasts......"
Speaking of this, Ling Er's face showed an incomparably frightened look, as if she had seen that bloody scene, and she cried so hard that she couldn't cry anymore. Liu Hanchu was also taken aback, looking at her blankly, but couldn't say a word.
"You...... You don't know...... I grew up with my dad...... Daddy loves me the most...... I know the porridge I cook is not delicious, but ...... But Daddy never disliked it...... Daddy...... I never thought my daddy would die...... I know that there are tigers and wolves in the mountains and forests...... There are leopards...... But Daddy's skills are very good...... I never thought that my dad would be eaten by a beast like this...... Daddy...... "Ling Er cried and cried, as if she had been stimulated by something, and she almost choked with tears.
Her cry tugged Liu Hanchu's heart, he recalled the innocent and lively appearance when he saw her last time, and then saw her miserable appearance now, and felt pity in his heart. She also regretted that he shouldn't have asked Ling Er like this, which reminded her of the unbearable past. But he was naturally slow about this matter, and he couldn't say a word, and he didn't know how to comfort him.
So Ling Er sat there crying, while Liu Hanchu sat opposite her and looked at her in a daze, with a table full of dishes in the middle, this scene was a little weird......
After Ling Er's crying gradually subsided and her heart gradually stabilized, Ling Er choked up and continued: "After Daddy dies, I will bury Daddy. I've lived with my dad since I was a kid, and he arranged everything for me. Daddy died, and I barely knew what to do. Daddy can collect medicine, but I can't, Daddy can hunt, although Daddy taught me some self-defense skills, how can I go hunting like Daddy? After the food at home was finished, I left the house and went to this so-called capital. Afterward...... Later, I met Xiaomei, Xiaomei said that this ancient mansion was buying some girls, and asked me if I would go, and I had nowhere to go, so I went to this ancient mansion with Xiaomei to be a little girl. ”
Liu Hanchu felt a little pity for the woman in front of her, she was a girl who suddenly encountered such a big change, no wonder it became like this. This also solved several doubts in his heart, first, it turned out that Ling Er really went to the ancient mansion and became a girl, and second, her flexible skills turned out to be taught to her by her father.
And according to the pine flower snacks he found in the kitchen last night, she did steal something to eat in the kitchen yesterday, probably when she was stealing something to eat, she was discovered by Liu Hanchu, and she was afraid that she would resist.
Sure enough, Ling Er explained again: "I didn't want to do anything last night, I was just hungry and wanted to eat, so I couldn't help but go to the kitchen. ”
Liu Hanchu believes in this very much.
Liu Hanchu took out the golden bell again, handed it to Ling Er, and asked curiously, "But when you see this bell, why do you react so much?" ”
Ling Er's face changed slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he raised his head to look at Liu Hanchu and asked, "How did you get this bell?" ”
Liu Hanchu told her about the day he went to find her and prepared to send her candy. Thinking about it now, it's no wonder that the courtyard was so desolate at that time, it turned out that this Ling Er had already left there.
Ling Er was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect that Liu Hanchu would really go out of his way to send her something to eat, she looked at him with those watery eyes, and asked, "You went to bring me candy that day?" ”
Liu Hanchu nodded, after all, he had promised her, so he naturally had to keep his word.
Ling Er looked at Liu Hanchu's appearance in a daze, and suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips, this smile was really soft and moving, looking at Liu Hanchu's head, but seeing Ling Er lower her head and not look at him, she said, "This bell is not mine." ”
Liu Hanchu was slightly stunned and said, "Not yours?" ”
Ling Er nodded and said, "When I first came to the capital, I didn't have any money on me, and I stole this bell. I stole a string of golden bells, bought some things, and went back to live in the mountains for two days, and this bell was probably the one I landed on the yard swing at that time. ”
Liu Hanchu looked a little surprised and asked, "Stole?" ”
Steal...... Bell?
If you don't have money, the best way is to steal silver, although this bell is gold, but Ding Ding Ding keeps ringing you, you can't start stealing? Liu Hanchu obviously didn't believe it.
There is a story called Covering the Ears and Stealing the Bell, that is, the man who stole the bell was caught.
Ling Er also saw the suspicion on Liu Hanchu's face, Ling Er sighed faintly and said, "I don't expect you to believe my words. Probably because I like this bell, in fact, whether you believe it or not, that's your business, if you really think that I will do something to hurt the people in the ancient mansion, then even if you kill me, I have nothing to say. Anyway, my father is dead, and it doesn't make sense for me to live alone in this world. ”
Her words were very sad and sad, Liu Hanchu moved slightly in his heart, and said, "Miss Ling, you are serious. ”
"Still." Ling Er looked at Liu Hanchu and suddenly said, "I still want to thank you for sending me candy." Although I haven't been back since, thank you very much. ”
Liu Hanchu was slightly stunned, and then said: "This is what I promised the girl, I will naturally do it, you don't have to thank me." ”
Ling Er nodded, didn't say anything more, and after eating something, Liu Hanchu took Ling Er back to the ancient mansion. Liu Hanchu sent her to the next person's house not far away, looked at the injuries on Ling Er's head and hands, seemed to feel a little guilty, and said: "Miss Ling, I didn't expect that person to be you last night, I'm sorry for hurting you, how is your injury?" ”
Ling Er glanced at Liu Hanchu's right hand, which was also wrapped in a white cloth, and smiled, "Anyway, I didn't suffer a loss. ”
Liu Hanchu was stunned for a moment, looking at Ling Er looking at his right hand, recalling the bite she had bitten him hard last night, he really didn't expect to catch her way. Liu Hanchu couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Ling is very skilled. ”
Ling Er smiled: "That's natural, my father has taught me some basic skills since I was a child, I can be flexible in the mountains, my best is climbing trees, even my father can't compare to me." ”
Speaking of this, Ling Er lowered her head again, thinking of her father's death, and felt sad. Liu Hanchu didn't know what to say, so he paused for a while before saying: "People can't be resurrected after death, Miss Ling, please mourn." ”
Ling Er didn't answer his words, turned around and left silently.
Looking at Ling Er's lonely back, somehow, Liu Hanxin had a trace of confusion in his heart......
In fact, he believed most of Ling Er's words, but there was only one place that felt strange.
How could this Ling'er steal the bell? He suddenly remembered Ling Er's willfulness before, and he seemed to remember that Ling Er once said, "What I don't like to do, even if you kill me, I won't do it, and what I like to do, even if you kill me, I will do it."
Can't she really infer what she's doing by common sense?
Liu Hanchu thought about it while walking back, preparing to return to his residence. I just walked to a gravel path, and I happened to meet Zhenzhen who walked back from Huanan Courtyard, Zhenzhen saw Liu Hanchu here, and walked towards Liu Hanchu. (To be continued.) )
