The girl's exclamation also startled the silence enough, and he walked two steps quickly, and saw a pretty face like jade powder poking out from behind the rockery, a pair of big watery eyes full of mist, and a small mouth tightly pursed, obviously frightened.

Shen Mo saw that she had bangs combed on her forehead, her black and shiny hair was tied in two small braids at the back of her head, a silk scarf was tied at the end of the braid, and a silver collar like a crescent moon was tied around her neck. Curiosity grew. He put on what he thought was the purest smile and said, "Little sister, come out, don't be afraid......"

The boy was seven or eight years old, with a little baby fat, and his head shook like a rattle, but his eyes drifted to the fire in the clearing, where fish was still roasted.

The little girl struggled fiercely for a while, but in the end she couldn't give up her fish. She moved out of the gap in the rockery a little bit, and silently saw that she was wearing a small pink silk jacket embroidered with exquisite lace, a brocade belt around her waist, a long folded skirt that reached the ankle on her lower body, and beautiful small embroidered shoes on her feet.

The silk jacket was also different from what he often saw, there was no collar, and the placket was also diagonally opened from the left shoulder to the right, and was buttoned with a row of silk buttons of the same color...... But this time he didn't dare to mess around, because the little girl was holding a pair of delicate little bows and arrows in her white and tender hands, although she was certainly not very strong, but seeing that the arrow was shining with cold light, it was obviously not just a child's toy.

He was afraid that if the kid was excited, it would not be fun to give him an arrow coldly, and if he smeared some 'blood to seal his throat' or something on the arrow, it would be terrible...... He didn't want to be the first official in the history of the Ming Dynasty to die because of teasing children, so he squeezed out the most amiable smile and said: "Little sister, your adults must tell you not to point a bow and arrow at others casually, right?" So please stop pointing at me, okay? ”

The little girl seemed to understand his words, tilted her head and thought for a long time, then pouted and said, "You are close... No. A simple sentence, also quite laborious, with tactful emphasis, like singing.

Fortunately, Shen Mo understood, and he nodded hurriedly: "I'm just here and don't move." ”

This time the sentence was short, and the little girl understood it at once, so she put down the bow and arrow that cost her life. Glancing at the fire again, she exclaimed, threw her bow and arrow to the ground, and ran over to flip the fish she had set up on the fire, sobbing softly as she turned it back, making the silence strange...... He quietly took a closer look, oh, it turned out to be confused, and then looked at the little girl's crying appearance, and suddenly felt that he had made the boss's mistake.

After a while, the little girl took a deep breath, took the fish off the fire rack, took out a bright knife out of nowhere, and carefully cut off the charred part, leaving only the white tender meat, but the delay was too long, so that the pasted part accounted for more than seventy percent...... She roasted a total of three small ones, and after cutting them, there were no taels left.

Looking at the hard work of the whole morning, there was only a little bit of poor fish and meat left on the small plate, and the little girl finally shed sad tears.

Shen Mo felt that he was simply guilty of a great crime, and he was ashamed of himself, and he felt that he had no shame to face this little girl, so he decided to disappear by himself.

Just as he was about to quietly turn around and leave gently, he saw the little girl walking up to him with a small plate.

Shen Mo was embarrassed to leave, so he had to stand there and wait for the little girl's crusade, he felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.

Unexpectedly, the little girl brought the plate to him, and said while sobbing, "Eat...... You... Eat"

At first, Shen Mo thought that this little sister of the Zhuang tribe was angry, and said, 'If you can't eat enough, I'll eat you' to vent, but after a while, I realized that people were letting themselves eat...... How embarrassing is that? He hurriedly excused himself and said, "Thank you, little sister, I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself." ”

The little girl sobbed while shedding tears: "Grandma said, if there is good food, you should invite the guests to eat first." ”

Shen Mo couldn't help but smile, and said, "Then I might as well be respectful." After speaking, he saw that the little girl was at a loss, and he quickly changed his words and said, "Then I'll eat first." The little girl's lips trembled, but she still nodded resolutely.

Shen Mo saw that she was obviously distressed, but she could not forget the teachings of adults. couldn't help but praise her: "What an obedient and good boy." ’

The little girl nodded vigorously when she heard this, and finally burst into tears, she wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and as a result, she smeared a pink little face with several blacks, like a little flower cat.

How dare Shen Mo provoke her to cry again? Pretending not to see it, he smiled and picked up a piece of white fish meat, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and gave a thumbs up in surprise and said, "It's unbelievably good." ”

"What does it mean to 'ring out of the pot'?" The little girl asked timidly, as if she cared very much about the diner's evaluation.

"It's just unexpected." Silent laughter.

"Okay? In the end. "The little girl still doesn't understand.

"Okay." Silent smiled helplessly.

"Got it." The little girl was elated, and she held the plate high and said, "Yours is all the same." "This time it was painfully tight, and there was no reluctance.

Shen Mo picked up another piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, patted his stomach and said, "I'm full, and if I eat more, I'll be broken." ”

The little girl nodded very seriously and said, "It's not good to be fat, I'm a little." Then he began to enjoy the fish on the plate, but the quantity was too small, and in a short time he ate it cleanly...... Shen Mo saw that she stretched out her little tongue and licked the plate, and felt that she should compensate her, so she smiled and said: "This time you invited me to eat grilled fish, and I will also invite you to eat, let's say, what do you want to eat?" ”

The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she didn't answer immediately, but sat on the ground and pondered for a long time before she looked up and said: "Roast birds, roast frogs, roast fish, roast shrimp, roasted yellow eel, roast fish, roast snails, roast loaches, ......"

Hearing her say that the string was all barbecue, Shen Mo felt very happy, because he liked this tune the most, but the people of the time felt that this way of eating was too vulgar, and some ancestors felt that they drank blood, so they didn't meet a fellow practitioner until today...... It's a little smaller, but it's a gay person, isn't it? He teased her and said, "You seem to have put something twice." ”

"Really?" The little girl started with 'roast birds' and re-reported what she had just said, but she still said 'grilled fish' twice. Shen Mo had to remind her, but she heard her say very seriously: "The first one is grilled river fish; The second is grilled sea fish, which is not good if it is confused. ”

Shen Mo had no choice but to admit that she was right, sat down beside her, and said with a smile: "Let's be friends now, right?" ”

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a long time, and whispered: "I have to go back and ask Grandma ...... first"

Shen Mo smiled a little awkwardly: "Then what is your name?" ”

The little girl thought for a while, and said very embarrassedly: "I have to ask Grandma before I can say." ”

Shen Mo had no choice but to ask in a different way: "Then what do I call you?" ”

"Aman." The little girl replied very simply this time.

Shen Mo was a little proud in his heart, but he immediately realized that playing with a seven or eight-year-old child was not a glorious thing, so he laughed dryly and said, "Aman, what a name...... Who are you coming with? ”

"Grandma." Ah Man replied very simply this time.

"Your grandma is here too?" Shen Moxin said that the national customs are really strange, why do you still take your grandmother with you when you go into battle?

"Grandma brought everyone." At the mention of her grandmother, Aman's little face tightened, as if to express a demeanor called 'reverence'.

"What? Your grandmother came with you and thousands of soldiers? Shen Mo couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart, this kid is talking nonsense.

saw that Ah Man nodded seriously and replied in a very nasal voice: "Hmm! ”

Shen Mo still didn't believe it: "What about your grandfather? He remembered that the Zhuang people did not seem to be yin and yang.

Ah Man clasped his hands together, leaned on his cheeks, tilted his head and closed his eyes, and said softly: "Sleep, in the wooden box." ”

Silently smiled apologetically: "What about your father?" ”

"I slept too." Aman's eyes flashed with water, and he said with a pout: "Aman's uncles also slept, and they don't play with Aman......" Shen Mo didn't want to make this cute little girl sad, so he quickly diverted the topic and discussed the barbecue business with her.

The two decided to roast everything that could be baked, and decided to start with roasting birds, and just as they were talking about the lively place, they heard the voice of a woman nearby, as if she was calling Aman's name, she pricked up her ears to listen for a while, stuck out her little tongue and said, "Look for me." ”

Shen Mo nodded and smiled gently: "Go ahead." ”

"When can I roast the birds?" Aman hasn't forgotten this stubble.

"Anytime." Shen Mo smiled and said, "I live in this garden, you can come to me." He smiled and said, "You don't know what my name is, do you?" ”

"I don't ask," Ah Man said very seriously: "When I ask Grandma, tell you the name, and you will tell me again." ”
