Upstairs, after Xia Yi cleaned up the classroom, he cleaned the office next to him again.

The Sludge Monster is female, and it is a little inconvenient to live with him, so it is better to be separated.

The office next to it was only a quarter the size of a classroom, but it should be big enough for the mud.

Now go and call the sludge monster and pack up the things, there are still some things that need to be picked up at the Hong family.

It was already dark outside, the corridor was dim, Xia Yi carried an oil lamp and went downstairs.

Arrived in the courtyard, the moonlight was bright.

He placed the oil lamp on the ground and circled around to the back of the building.

In the distance, he saw a shadow standing beside a table, chair and bench.

He opened his mouth from afar: "I cleaned up two rooms, and we ......"

Xia Yi was about to say that he and the Sludge Monster were in one room.

But at this time, he saw the true face of the figure in the moonlight.

It was a young girl in a black dress.

Hearing Xia Yi's voice, the girl turned her head to look at him.

The girl's beautiful face made Xia Yi stop.

He was ready to continue admiring, but the girl was startled.

In the shadows beneath her feet, a large amount of silt emerged, enveloping her.

She turned into a sludge.

“……？”

Xia Yi thought carefully, calmly analyzed, and came to a conclusion.

My mud monster is actually a girl!

Xia Yi walked up to the mud monster and said kindly, "I cleaned up two rooms, we live in one, and one is used to store sundries. ”

The mud monster tilted his head to look at Xia Yi.

"Let's go, let's go up." Xia Yi is kind and pleasant.

The Sludge picked up something next to it.

"Leave me alone." Xia Yi stopped her.

The sludge monster took two steps back, a little scared.

Xia Yi first lifted a small wooden table, which was a bit heavy.

In addition to the wooden table, there are also two wooden chairs, which are also heavy objects, and those miscellaneous things are also very troublesome to pick up.

Xia Yi quickly gave up pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade, and said to the mud monster: "It's better for you to come." ”

The sludge monster wrapped the thing in his body and went upstairs with Xia Yi.

Xia Yi absentmindedly packed up his things and looked at the sludge monster.

The figure just now, he was very familiar with, it was the appearance of the girl in the dream by the well.

The Sludge Monster is not a monster made of silt, but a girl wrapped in silt?

So what did he touch when he reached into the mud before......

Xia Yi coughed in embarrassment.

No wonder the Sludge Monster hit him and ran away.

After seeing the real mud monster, Xia Yi looked at the mud monster again, and felt that the mud was also clear-eyed, and it was no longer ugly.

Xia Yi had a lot of things he wanted to ask the sludge monster, but he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while.

Forget it, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

After eating the stolen biscuits for dinner, Xia Yi lay down in the futon.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered the appearance of the sludge monster and could not sleep.

Turning sideways, Xia Yi beckoned to the sludge monster.

The Sludge came to his side.

He reached out and touched the sludge's body.

The sludge monster that had been dodging before didn't run away this time.

Xia Yi tried to go deep inside, but was hit by the mud, and his hand was pushed out.

Hey, it turns out that I only let me touch the outside.

Xia Yi gave up the sludge monster's body and reached out to the sludge monster's arm.

He felt deep into the sludge monster's arm, and the sludge monster used the sludge blast again, trying to push Xia Yi's hand out.

"Don't move!" Xia Yi said.

The sludge monster was stunned for a moment, and Xia Yi took the opportunity to reach in half of his forearm and touch the palm of the silt monster.

It was a soft, slender palm.

It's very pleasant to the touch.

This is the second most comfortable thing that Xia Yi has touched.

Xia Yi coughed and said to the sludge monster, "What I said to you at the Hongjia Mansion yesterday doesn't count. ”

The Sludge looked down at him.

Xia Yi's heart was a little confused.

He had always thought that the Sludge Monster was an ugly monster, and he also prevented the Sludge Monster from doing wrong to him, but he didn't expect the Sludge Monster's real body to be like that.

The slender body, fair skin, long hair hanging down to the waist, and that lovely face are very in line with Xia Yi's aesthetics.

Although Xia Yi's aesthetic is beautiful, it's good.

Xia Yi's palm moved, and he rubbed the palm of the sludge monster, causing the sludge monster to want to withdraw his palm, but he held it tightly to prevent her from escaping.

He thrust between her fingers again, intertwining them tightly.

The Sludge Monster was a little troubled.

While playing with the palm of the sludge monster, Xia Yi took out "Nini's Diary" and read it by the light of the oil lamp.

The diary is full of a father's love for his daughter.

For example, this one:

"May 2, 1923

Nini is getting more and more pretty, and she is well-behaved and intelligent, she heard the legend of Dongying today, and wants to fold a thousand paper cranes to me. Alas, such a lovely daughter, in the end, I don't know which man is going to be cheaper.'

Xia Yi flipped through quickly, and he could read a page in a few seconds.

Until he flipped to 1928.

"May 4, 1928

Xiao Dong's health is getting worse and worse, she always thinks about Nini to accompany her, but she doesn't know that every time Nini comes out, she has to cry for a long time."

Xia Yi deduced from his previous diary that Xiao Dong was the mother of the Silt Monster.

"May 16, 1928

It rained all night tonight, Xiaodong still left, she thought about the peony for a month, and it bloomed in the morning after she left, hateful, this flower is so cruel! I wanted to cut it, but Nini was reluctant to cut it, so I spared it."

Did the Sludge Monster's mother die?

So who is the lady in that mansion?

And the brother and sister who are about the same age as the sludge monster in the dream world, what's going on?

Is it a stepmother and an illegitimate child?

Xia Yi continued to flip back.

"September 18, 1928

Nini has been depressed for a long time these months, and it's her 10th birthday soon, so I asked someone to buy a popular doll from the United States, hoping that she will like it."

This is the end, and the rest is a blank slate.

Why don't you remember?

If you marry a new wife and have a new child, you don't care about the old ones?

Putting down the notebook, Xia Yi had many doubts in his heart.

He looked at the Sludge Monster and wanted to ask, but felt like he was uncovering the Sludge Monster's scars. Judging by the results, nothing good must have happened in between.

Lying on the pillow, Xia Yi felt sleepy.

He fell asleep.

Outside the window, the gathering dark clouds finally rained, and the rain clicked on the roof, clattering.

Xia Yi slept deeply, held the palm of the mud monster, and let go.

The sludge monster reached out to catch Xia Yi's slippery palm, but halfway through it, he withdrew his hand.

She looked at Xia Yi's shadow and sank into the shadows.

The rain outside the window did not stop at all, and it became heavier and heavier, but Xia Yi's sleep was good and was not affected at all.

Xia Yi had a dream.

It was a dream about the Sludge Monster, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Sludge Monster the size of Lori, eating at the dinner table with his family.

This restaurant Xia Yi is very familiar, it is the one he often eats with Hanzhuang in Hongjiayangguan.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old sludge monster is also very cute.

Xia Yi smiled.
