"You and the fawn... Is it because of the words of the people in the village? Bai Fenjin suddenly asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cen Xiao was silent for a moment, pretending to be calm with difficulty: "You also heard?" ”

Bai Fenjin nodded, then shook his head, "They're all bad people!" They are all jealous of you. I don't believe you, you're so bad, you're good to me, and you're good to my mother. You're a good daughter-in-law. ”

I couldn't help but "poof", suspecting that this stupid big man didn't understand the meaning of the word "daughter-in-law" at all.

Cen Xiao was also in the same mood as me at the moment, he lowered his head helplessly and shook it, without speaking.

"They say you're gay," Bai Fenjin stammered, "I—I told them you're not!" I, I got into a fight with Brother Mingde, and he kept calling you gay! But you're not! You're not a bad person! Neither you nor the fawn. ”

Cen Xiao still didn't speak, and I could see her shoulders hanging down, trembling slightly, and her fists clenched tightly. I saw her take a deep breath, stand up straight, and look up at the sky.

She looked at the sky for a long, long time, without saying a word, as if the world didn't exist anymore.

Bai Jinjin hugged her, "Beautiful sister, don't be sad... I—I scolded them! I'll help you scold them. ”

"No need." Cen Xiao replied immediately, her voice shattered at the last last note. So she didn't speak again, just bit her lip and was silent.

Then, she let out a long exhale, with a forced smile in her voice, "Tell me what your sister was like when she was a child, I guess it must be cute." ”

Bai Fenjin snorted, and then quickly covered his mouth with both hands. "No, no, no, the fawn is very cute! Everybody loves fawn! ”

Cen Xiao smiled and shook her head, "Everyone must have praised her since she was a child, right?" ”

Bai Fenjin stared at her for a while, then nodded apprehensively, and said with some grievances: "Everyone, everyone says that Xiaolu is a genius, I... I'm stupid. ”

Cen Xiao looked at him and said softly, "Maybe there's nothing wrong with being stupid." ”

"That's it!" Bai Qianjin saw that someone recognized him, and immediately seemed to have found a soulmate: "I... I'm strong. I can chop wood, I can carry water, and, and," he could not think of, and looked around anxiously, as if to discover what else he was capable of. "And I still have apples!" He finally shouted it.

Cen Xiao giggled, "yes, you still have apples." ”

"The fawn can't carry a bucket of water, but I can carry two buckets, and it can be watered much faster than her." Bai Fenjin said proudly, "Don't believe it, I'll show it to you, you!" ”

"I believe, I believe, I believe." Cen Xiao hurriedly stopped him, "So Xiaolu was very naughty when he was a child?" ”

Bai Fenjin immediately shook his head, "She's not naughty. She's very well-behaved. If you don't behave, your father will scold. ”

"Will Dad scold you?"

Bai Jinjin shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and nodded again, "When I do something wrong, my father will call me stupid." ”

I saw that Cen Xiao obviously held back a laugh, and when he heard Bai Fenjin say dirty words so ignorantly, it always made people feel inappropriately funny. He didn't understand what it meant, just as he didn't understand what "homosexuality" meant. He was just a blank sheet of paper, and the adult world smeared him with all kinds of colors.

This reminds me of an early time when artificial intelligence "went bad". A company has built an AI-powered chat software and opened it up to the public in the hope that the public can teach their bots how to speak.

But after a while, the company stopped opening up their chatbot to the outside world because it went bad. The chat was full of bloody violence, foul language, and dirty and vulgar stuff.

Bai Endeavor reminds me of that robot. It was just a blank slate, learning how to be a member of society through communication with the outside world, but after all, it became the most unbearable appearance of us.

"What was her favorite thing to do when she was a kid? Does she like sports? Love math? I know she is good in liberal arts and she is very talented. Cen Xiao said, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his tone.

"She always likes to hang out with her brothers." Bai Fenjin said and pouted, "The group of brothers don't take me to play, they always like to go on adventures." I wanted to play with them too, but they said I was too old to play. ”

However, in his heart, he may never understand the change in social responsibility that comes with aging. Time is not so pressing for him to grow up. He was forever stuck at a mental age where he was not yet mature enough to look at himself.

"Fawn, she... She reads a lot of books. Brother Bai continued, "She reads a lot of books. I can't even read it—" his tone was lost again, "if only I could read so many books." I wouldn't be that stupid. ”

"It's okay," Cen Xiao comforted, "at least you're taller than her." ”

Bai Fenjin jumped up again with joy.

Cen Xiao looked at her, with loneliness in her light and shadow. Light is supposed to be something warm, and it brings security and brightness to our ancient ancestors. Who knew that light could be so lonely.

"She must love you very much." Cen Xiao lowered his head and said softly.

The stupid big man scratched his head, "Actually, it's not love... But Xiaolu, took good care of me and my mother. When I was a child, they bullied me, and Xiaolu helped me sue the teacher. ”

Cen Xiao smiled, "I can guess." She asked, "Then does she have a good relationship with the people in the village?" ”

Bai Fenjin hurriedly nodded "um, um", "The people in the village... Both love mom and fawn. ”

"Everybody likes to come to the fawn for homework." He said, "I said that I could get into college." ”

"The village and village chief like Xiaolu very much, and they always come to her and play with her." He continued, "He... Don't like me. ”

Cen Xiao didn't seem to hear his complaints. She looked into the distance, perhaps at a flock of homing birds. From here, I could only see fruit groves, then woods, valleys, and distant mountains. She looked at it for a while, and then sighed softly: "... That's nice. ”

"I don't have this at home... This kind of atmosphere. Cen Xiao explained, "The neighbors don't say hello very much. Every day, I don't look up and look down, and I don't know each other's names. ”

"Does Village Chief Chen know the names of everyone in the village?" She asked curiously.

Endeavor thought for a moment, "I don't know, every time someone's livestock hasn't been vaccinated, he knows." ”

"It's really different," Cen Xiao sighed, "It's really different from the environment I grew up in." But judging from her tone, she didn't hate the atmosphere in Wangxing Village. A relatively closed network of interpersonal relationships is the best cradle for intimacy and rumors.

Eventually, she just shook her head weakly, "I wonder how she thinks." ”
