The smell of wheat wafted from afar, the coffee-colored curtain was covered, and through the glass, you could see the men and women sitting at the tables drinking refreshments in the store, this is a shop similar to a coffee house, Shen Yi thought casually, looking at the lively street, all kinds of shops, those who have seen and those who have not seen it, in addition to feeling strange in their hearts, there will also be a little excitement surging out of curiosity. ~with~dream~small~say~щww~mеng~lā

The bell hung in front of the door rang twice, and Mei Mei, who was wearing the old hat, walked out of the coffee house, said a few words to the woman standing at the door, handed over the bag in her hand, and then took the silver coin from the other party's hand, and when saying goodbye, the woman handed the baked pastry to her, in the girl's puzzled gaze, the woman explained two sentences, and then the girl showed a sweet smile and thanked her and left.

Mei Mei, who was happily holding the pastry, immediately jumped and jumped over, looking at the smile on her face, Shen Yi asked with a smile, "Is the matter done?" ”

"Well, I got ten silver coins, Aunt Dora is fine, she also gave me a few freshly baked cream bread, the pastries she made are very famous in this neighborhood, do you want one from Brother Yi?"

"Me? No. Shen Yi smiled and shook his head, and then walked with the girl on the street paved with green bricks, on both sides of the busy scenery, someone unloaded the goods from the passing car, and then moved to the store, someone drove the captured monsters and other creatures, shouting and bidding, some onlookers coaxed, some shouted to lower the price, Mei Mei carefully put away the bread in the paper bag, Shen Yi looked at her curiously: "Don't you eat it yourself?" ”

"I don't need it, and I'm not hungry, these have to be left to the other people in the apartment, Sister Haiyin and Sister Vivian, as well as the naughty Amo, cryworm Xiaoya, and the coward Lili......" Immediately she stretched out her hand and counted the head, looking at her serious little face, little by little, the good and the bad, there may be sensible factors, and there is also bitterness that he doesn't know, in the end, she is still just a child, but she is used to carrying a lot of things on her shoulders.

With such a thought that it is not strong, but it is definitely not weak, Shen Yi gently put his hand on the little girl's head, shaking the little adult-like girl's head in front of him: "Meimei is actually a big sister, she is really a sensible child." ”

"Don't put your hands on my head, I finally got it done!" Mei Mei shook her head as if she protested, revealing her little tiger teeth, pulling a face, patting away his evil hand, straightening her hat, and then pretending to walk in front of him as if nothing had happened, the silent atmosphere was slightly stagnant, maybe it was dissatisfied with Shen Yi's tone of treating her as a child, or maybe she thought of something darker and darker, the little girl didn't look back, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but the figure with her back to him seemed to suddenly be much shorter, and said to herself in a low voice: "This is also something that can't be helped, Because I can't be ignorant, among the children in the whole apartment, I am the oldest, if I don't want to do something, only Sister Haiyin alone can't survive, there will be many people who are hungry, and there will be people who will freeze in winter, and then ...... And then someone will die because of this, and there is no way to do it......" said the little girl, holding on to the brim of her hat: "Has Brother Ah Yi ever experienced a time when he was about to starve to death?" ”

Listening to Mei Mei's self-talk, he couldn't maintain a smile that could pretend to be relaxed, Shen Yi fell behind her, unable to see her expression, his small shoulders seemed to carry a lot of weight that he couldn't see, and he shook his head gently.

"No, Brother Ah Yi must not have experienced it, that kind of weakness that he can't even move, he can only slowly watch the world lose color, and then he himself begins to lose color...... As long as you experience this kind of despair once, you can't forget it, but then I was lucky, I met Sister Haiyin, and then I also had an apartment, where there are a lot of my family, although all of them are some younger brothers and sisters who are not sensible, but these are things that can't be helped, only someone can be sensible, isn't it? Mei Mei actually hates people saying that I am sensible, as if I am still a child, of course, I am indeed a child, but ...... I can only stop thinking of myself as a child, because if I have that kind of thought, there will be a lot of things that I can't do, and the pain that I desperately endure will all become unbearable, and I can't help but want to cry out, I want to be coquettish, these are not allowed, so Meimei is actually not sensible at all, just willful. As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes, raised her head and pretended to be cheerful, and then complained in a slightly nasal tone: "Well, really, why do you want to talk to Brother Ah Yi about these things, obviously they are some very unhappy topics, and the mood has deteriorated!" ”

The girl who turned her head smiled, and then turned away again, the smile imprinted in the sun was not dazzling, nor dazzling, but the strength contained in it made Shen Yi feel a little touched, he stepped forward, pulled her shoulders and leaned towards himself, looked at her slightly reddened eyes and said: "Although I don't know when I will leave here, but during this period of time, it is not a bad thing for Meimei to rely on me a little, don't take everything on yourself, You may be unhappy when you say this, and it is not unforgivable for children to be coquettish occasionally. ”

"Woo......" Mei Mei looked at Shen Yi in a daze, felt a little warm, and gently broke away, the sourness on the tip of her nose moistened her eyes, she turned her back, wiped the corners of her eyes again, and choked up a little and made a decision: "...... Brother Ah Yi is such a weirdo! ”

"Uh...... Actually, I think it's even cuter when you throw yourself into my arms and cry loudly. ”

"How could I possibly be on the street doing something that only a kid would do."

"Aren't you just a child...... Okay, don't stare at me, I just want to know what's wrong with me? ”

"Woo, it's really infuri......ating" Mei Mei grinded her teeth fiercely, puffed out her face, but her original heavy mood also faded slightly, maybe it was because she saw that Shen Yi did not discriminate against them like other humans, so she couldn't help but say these words hidden in her heart, thinking so, she pretended to accuse Shen Yi angrily: "Here! Over here! And here! Brother Ah Yi is very weird all over his body! It's weird to be so kind to me even though I'm a human being, isn't it? ”

"I don't think much, Mei Mei is wearing a hat because she doesn't want people to see who she is?" As he spoke, he tugged at the brim of her hat.

"Ah, I said don't touch my hat, it's not good to be recognized later!" Mei Mei slapped away his evil hands, and her mood became better because of this interruption, so she pretended to be angry and turned her face away: "Hmph, I ignored you and told you not to touch my hat, and I kept touching it." ”

"Hehe, I'm angry, I think Meimei without a hat is more cute."

"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen, I don't listen......" The girl covered her ears and ran forward, Shen Yiqian was behind her, he was not a noble person, but anyone who heard the little girl's self-talk could not be indifferent, raised his head and looked at the blue sky, the gray mood in his memory was slightly awakened, it was sympathetic or not, he really wanted to help her, even if it was just to share her mood a little.

Along the way, it was noisy and noisy, passing through the lively market, and the figures of two people on the blue-gray saka road were like brothers and sisters imprinted in the warm sunshine......

*********************************************************************************************************

"Shiyu Festival?"

"Yes, Atlas's five-year festival, haven't Brother Yi heard of it? The Shiyu Festival is very famous on the mainland! ”

"I've never heard of it, I'm sorry, I'm probably not from this continent."

"Is that so? By the way, this is Atlas's General's Mansion, why is Brother Yi coming here? As she spoke, Mei Mei pointed to the grand building complex not far away, in front of the door were guards with strict faces, and there were several secret sentinels hidden in the dark, Shen Yi's eyes turned to the general's mansion, and he was relieved to think about it, after all, he was one of the four generals of the empire, how could the defensive force be weak.

"Find someone, but ...... Do you think I'll be stopped by them if I walk like this? ”

"Hehe, Brother Ayi, you're joking, it's strange that you won't be stopped by them."

Shen Yi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then in the surprised eyes of the little girl, he walked over, and pointed and talked to the guards, but from the guards' impatient faces, it could be seen that it did not have much effect, and the negotiations ended in failure, the guards waved his hands like flies to drive him away, and Shen Yi retreated like a defeated rooster.

"Brother Ayi, what did you tell them?"

"I told them I knew Toria and wanted to meet her and let them pass it on, but ...... They didn't believe what I said. ”

"Huh~ What a terrible excuse!"

"But I really know her well, although it wasn't friendly when we met."

"It's strange that they will let you go, Lord Torya is one of the beauties of the empire, there are more people who want to see her, how can they let you go because of your words, Brother Ayi is too naïve."

"Really? Is she really that pretty......"

Later, in Mei Mei's disdain, Shen Yi shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, but the little girl decided that his statement that he knew Toria was just an excuse, and she refused to believe it, which made Shen Yi depressed for a long time.

And not long after the two of them left, Shen Yi rescued the elf Lamia but appeared at the door of the General's Mansion, said a few words to the guards, and then walked in......
