Soon, the silence of the secluded place was broken by the distant sounds of playfulness and slapstick, and the continuous hearty laughter of children carried with the wind, although it was a little noisy, but it was also a pleasure to listen to.
As Twilight Yinyin turned over a dilapidated low wall and stepped into the courtyard, Ning Yue first saw the same as she imagined, a group of children chasing and playing, roughly estimated that there were more than a dozen, and not far away there were a few younger girls gathered under the eaves to watch this side. The oldest of these children should be eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest may be only seven or eight years old.
The arrival of the two quickly attracted their attention, and after looking at each other, bursts of cheers immediately rang out in the crowd, and more than a dozen children ran to Twilight Yinyin to surround her, scrambling with each other and shouting non-stop. It seems that they are very familiar with each other.
"Sister Xiaoyin, you're finally here again."
"This time, how long is Sister Xiaoyin going to stay?"
"Sister Xiaoyin, last time, what about the gift you said last time?"
"Sister Xiaoyin, I ......"
With a faint hint of surprise in his heart, Ning Yue's gaze continued to look at this spacious courtyard, the surrounding low walls were very dilapidated, and even collapsed in some places. However, the three houses in the courtyard are not bad, they seem to be some years old, they have been recently renovated, and the paint marks on the walls are very fresh.
"Xiao Yin, what the hell is ...... here?"
He already had a guess in his heart about what was in front of him, but it was better to ask again. At this moment, a figure walked out of the house in the middle, and the moment he saw Ning Yue, a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, and soon, it turned into an inexplicable joy.
"Are you here? Xiao Yin, this time you brought a friend again? ”
It was a girl who was older than Twilight Yinyin, however, the clothes on her body were completely inconsistent with the cardamom years that bloomed with youthful vitality, not only a coarse old cloth clothes, but even a little larger in size. It looks like someone else's clothes have been made smaller.
However, even so, it is difficult to hide the girl's delicate appearance, and there is a little bit of the charm of a small jasper.
"Sister Di, are you staying today? It just so happened that I passed by Xinghuang City in the past few days, and I wanted to come and see you. This is Ning Yue, my new friend. ”
Surrounded by children in the middle, Twilight Yinyin smiled playfully, smiling naturally and cheerfully. Ning Yue had never seen this appearance of hers before.
"Well, children, don't keep guests out like that. If you have anything to say, go in and talk about it. ”
Sister Di hurriedly beckoned the group of children to disperse, nodded and smiled at Du Yinyin, and then, looking at Ning Yue's eyes, there seemed to be a little strange meaning.
The interior of the house is simple, but the furniture is complete, both new and old. In addition, Ning Yue also noticed that there were obvious traces of reinforcement in several corners, and it was not difficult to imagine what this house looked like before it was repaired.
"This guest, I'm sorry, we don't have tea here, let's just take a look."
Only two cups of water were served, and the cups were made of wood, and the workmanship was slightly rough, and it looked like they had been planed by hand.
"Sister Di, don't be polite to him. I brought him here to help, not to be a guest. If there is a need, just tell him to do it. ”
While picking up the water glass, Du Yinyin quietly glanced at Ning Yue, and there was a sense that you dare to say half a "no" to try it.
Of course, Ning Yue would not save her face on such an occasion, so he also took a symbolic sip of the water glass, nodded and smiled: "It's clear and delicious, and it's not bad." ”
Boom.
With a bump of her elbow, Twilight snorted, "Speak well, don't pretend too much." ”
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Sister Di couldn't help but sneer, looking like she wanted to say something. Beside her, a group of children gathered around the table, and one of them, who looked the biggest, stepped forward and looked up at Ning Yue's face, also looking like he wanted to say something, but couldn't open his mouth.
"Something you want to say to me?"
Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, since he came in, it seemed that the attention of those children had shifted, and they all looked at him with interest in their eyes.
"Well, can Big Brother answer me a question?" The boy nodded vigorously with a look of anticipation.
"Just ask." Ning Yue replied casually.
Unexpectedly, more than a dozen children asked questions at the same time and spoke in unison.
"Big brother, are you dating Sister Xiaoyin?"
Boom!
Without waiting for him to react, Twilight Yinyin grabbed the quilt and slammed it on the table, her cheeks were slightly red, and she shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not the first time I've brought a friend." What are you little devils going on? ”
"But this time, it feels different."
It was Sister Di who answered her, with a smile on her face.
"The person who looked strong at the beginning was not so close to you. Later, the man who made us mistake us for a woman was naturally impossible. Before, you yourself said that you brought old friends who have known each other for a long time, and you can't believe anything else. And this time, it's what you said, a new friend. Moreover, I feel that the relationship between you is no different from that of a pair of old friends. ”
"I guess, we're more compatible, right?"
Ning Yue smiled faintly, wanting to perfunctory this question. He was a little surprised at the same time, this is the second time that a similar question has been mentioned these days, is there really that trend, first Chang Xuanxuan asked, and now this group of children is also asking.
"There are not many peers who are compatible with Xiaoyin."
Sister Di blinked, and suddenly turned her head to look at the side of the courtyard, where there was some chaotic footsteps.
"Maybe they're coming back from grocery shopping, I'm going to check it out. Sit down a little longer, and at least have lunch before you go. ”
With that, she hurried away.
At the same moment, Ning Yue's eyes changed slightly, Sister Di's pace was a little chaotic, and the tone just now was not quite right. More than surprise, a little panic. If it's a normal greeting to a companion, it shouldn't be this kind of behavior.
He gave Twilight Yinyin a look, but he never thought that the other party was surrounded by a group of children and asked this and that, and he just nodded lightly at Sister Di's departure, not noticing that something was wrong at all.
"Sometimes, Xiao Yin is unexpectedly unreliable......"
With a helpless sigh in his heart, Ning Yue was about to get up and go out to have a look, but he found that two children, a man and a woman, came together in front of him, full of anticipation.
"Big brother, can you tell us how you and Sister Xiaoyin met?"
"Yes, yes, it feels like you're different from the friends she brought before."
On the other side, several children around Du Yinyin also turned their heads and agreed.
"I may not be able to tell this at once......
Ning Yue was a little embarrassed, he didn't even tell Chang Xuanxuan about the specific experience of getting acquainted with Du Yinyin. Moreover, it is impossible to talk about that experience in front of such a group of children around ten years old.
But soon, he also thought of words, and replied: "Why don't you tell the eldest brother how did you meet her?" ”
This time, as if the pot had exploded, all the boys and girls were chattering and shouting, all wanting to tell the story in their hearts.
"Stop, I'll say it myself."
Seeing this, Twilight Yinyin sighed helplessly, waved her hand to signal the children to stop, and then leaned in front of a boy who was the leader, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhen, you guys go over there to play first, and wait until I finish talking......"
There was no need for her to make it clear, Xiao Zhen looked like I understood, nodded again and again, and beckoned his companion to distance himself. Finally, he even waved his hand and made a gesture.
"A bunch of kids."
Covering her forehead and shaking her head repeatedly, Twilight Yinyin was helpless.
"Aren't you the same? Now, even if you tell me that you actually grew up here, I believe it. Ning Yue teased, and at the same time, part of his attention was still focused on the outside of the house.
"It's impossible to live up here, but it's true that you've lived here for a while. That was the first time I encountered this place, it must have been seven years ago, right? You also know that the war ended only five years ago, and seven years ago, as a companion capital, Xinghuang City was not peaceful, and many lawbreakers did misdeeds. And in that environment, my sister and I got lost. For me at that time, the darkness of the night was so terrifying that I didn't even dare to move, so I could only huddle in a corner and cry. ”
Speaking of this, Twilight Yin Yin glared at Ning Yue and warned, "If you dare to laugh, don't even think about getting out of this room!" ”
"It's not funny at all."
Ning Yue shook his head lightly, he had not encountered a similar experience. For children, it is a little scary to walk on the streets where adults walk, and they are all tall beings who must look up, and the trembling comes from the heart. What's more, the background of Twilight's narration is itself uneasy.
"At that time, a man who seemed to have bad intentions came to me and asked me, and I didn't dare to answer. As a result, he saw that there was no one around and tried to forcibly take me away. At that time, I could only shout and hope that someone would help, and nothing else could be done. Fortunately, someone really heard the cry for help and came to help, but it was only a few fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys and girls with shabby clothes. However, there was a numerical advantage, and after a fight, I was saved. ”
Smiling with relief, Twilight shook her head again.
"Actually, at that time, I wasn't sure if I was a good person to save me, but because of what happened before, I instinctively chose to believe it. In fact, I'm glad I believed them at that time, and that's why I got there. I went with them to their quarters, which at that time were in ruins due to the war, barely sheltering from the elements. That night, I also met many children my age, many of whom were orphans and some of whom had been separated from their families due to the war. To be honest, it was the first time I lived in such a place since I was a child, and I could only huddle together with a group of dirty-dressed children to keep warm, and the food was very bad. However, my heart is very warm, and I have never felt like that. ”
Nodding as if he didn't understand, Ning Yue replied, "So, did you choose to help them later?" The houses here should have been renovated recently. If you're not mistaken, you used the bounty you got when you first met me, didn't you? ”
"Yes, that's true. If you can't see it, I don't think it's possible. ”
Smiled and nodded, and a faint sense of loss soon appeared between her eyebrows.
"Actually, I had another amount of money to renovate this place, but I lost it...... That's why I thought about going for another amount of money, and I couldn't do anything else, so I had to aim for the bounty. And then, I met you......"
