The oldest human emotion is fear, and this strong emotion, at its root, comes from the unknown.

Since leaving the slave trading house, López has been roaming the streets with Xiaobai for the purpose of finding a bathhouse, and the delicate body of the little girl who followed them has not stopped trembling for a moment.

Because she didn't know what she was going to face next, beating?

At this time, she didn't have any positive words in her mind at all.

But she still didn't raise any thoughts of resisting or fleeing, she had long lost the light in her eyes and the courage in her heart, and in the end she was only left with dead silence, day after day.

Feeling the uninterrupted fear behind him, López reluctantly stopped his steps.

And the little girl also stopped with López's movements, and then quickly squatted down with her head in her hands, and her body trembled more and more.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Sighing, López crouched down and spoke softly.

But even so, after a long time, the little girl raised her arm a little in disbelief, and then observed López through the gap to make sure that he really had no malicious intentions, then slowly stood up, and stammered: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Sighing silently, López continued to ask, "Are you hungry?"

"No, not hungry. The little girl was still stumbling, but her stomach was rumbling at an inopportune time.

After hearing this, López grinned: "How can you have the strength to work if you don't eat enough, follow closely." ”

"Okay, master. The little girl hastened to answer, and although her fear seemed to ease, it was only a little more normal to speak, but there was still obvious cowardice on her face.

"That sounds good. Xiaobai, who was standing on López's shoulder, suddenly spoke.

López was speechless about this, and Xiaobai would only be so enthusiastic when discussing dinner: "When did you say that you have your share?"

"You know, it's a tired fellow to deliver letters, and I guess only a handsome, handsome, and graceful bird like me is capable of completing it, and it won't be good if I starve to death, and that's a loss to the world. With that, Xiaobai also lowered his head and sorted out his feathers.

As soon as Xiaobai's voice fell, the little girl behind her suddenly covered her mouth in surprise: "Bird, the bird spoke?"

"Hey, it's rude, I'm a wise and martial little white adult, what is the bird to speak. As he spoke, Xiaobai fluttered his wings and flew in front of the girl.

Hearing Xiaobai's dissatisfaction, the little girl hurriedly bowed respectfully to it: "Yes, I'm sorry, the wise and martial Xiaobai." ”

Before Xiaobai could react, López directly raised his hand and grabbed his wings and dragged it over, and then threatened seriously: "Be careful that you don't have anything to eat." ”

"I'm just kidding, just kidding, how can such a handsome and dashing bird as I bully people. Of course, Xiaobai didn't have any malicious intentions, he just wanted to adjust the atmosphere and relieve the little girl's nervousness, but obviously, this trick was not very practical for the little girl.

When he arrived at the restaurant, López ordered three or four dishes casually, then sat down and waited, he wanted to ask the little girl what she wanted to eat, but her squirming made him know that even if he did, it would be in vain.

Seeing that the little girl was still standing in place by herself, López was already surprised: "Okay, sit down quickly." ”

Hearing López's order, the girl sat down resignedly, and subconsciously said, "Thank you, master." ”

It seems that this girl's mental state can't be changed in a short period of time, I don't know if she can take care of her grandfather, I hope it won't be a wrong decision to buy her, López thought silently in his heart.

After asking the waiter for three glasses of water, López turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

Hearing López's question, the girl quickly replied in a low voice, "Alexia." ”

However, López didn't hear too clearly because his voice was too quiet, and he had to open his mouth to confirm: "Is it Alexia?"

"Hmm," Alexia replied quietly.

After confirming the name, López smiled kindly: "Alexia, don't be too nervous, I bought you back to take care of my grandfather, and it won't hurt you." ”

"Hmm," there was a subtle response from López.

However, despite agreeing, Alexia's uneasiness still did not diminish, but López didn't care much, he thought that Alexia's current emotions would continue to diminish with time.

Perhaps, it is exactly like this, the lucky people use their childhood to heal their lives, and the unfortunate people use their lives to heal their childhood.

After a while, the waiter came over with the dishes, and Xiaobai kept "rubbing his wings and feathers", looking like he couldn't wait to eat it.

López shook his head and smiled, turned to Alexia and said, "Let go of eating, otherwise you won't be able to fill your stomach, and you won't be able to do a good job." ”

"Yes, master. Alexia's response was finally reassured.

As soon as the waiter put down the plate, Alexia and Xiaobai began to gobble up.

Xiaobai is just greedy for this López has long been used to it, but Alexia, who looks quite reserved, is also like Xiaobai, so much that he is quite surprised.

But the reason was obvious, he probably couldn't imagine how long it had been since Alexia had touched the food that people had eaten.

López's stomach wasn't very hungry, he just drank water and quietly watched the gobbling up of one man and one bird.

After a while, Xiaobai stroked his bulging belly with his wings with a satisfied face, and only scraps of food remained on the table.

Seeing this, López opened his mouth and asked, "Have you eaten enough?"

"Well, thank you host. Alexia's voice became submissive again, and her face was flushed, as if she had become embarrassed by the loss she had just eaten.

However, López didn't pay too much attention and took Alexia to buy clothes after paying the bill.

The tattered rag-like thing on her body really didn't belong in the category of clothes.

Of course, López had to take her to a shower before that, she was so dirty.

López found a random bathhouse on the street and asked Alexia to go in and wash herself, but Alexia seemed to be very resistant to the crowd, and in the end, López spent some extra gold coins to find her a bath alone.

While waiting, López happened to find a clothing store next to the baths, which saved him the trouble.

After Alexia came out of the baths, López led her into the next clothing store.

Although Alexia repeatedly asked López to choose clothes for her, López still refused with righteous words, he was not confident in helping girls choose clothes.

In the end, it was the store that helped to choose.

After choosing, López saw that Alexia had no opinion, so he decisively paid the money.

In this way, it is finally solved, and today can make López tired enough.
