Chapter 4 Bad Habits
"Great Immortal, don't scare the children." Mu Cripple was lying on the wall eavesdropping, but now he saw Baotian running out of the chicken pen like a smoke, his eyes rolled, he limped in, and glanced at Sang Yu's angry face.
He wanted to find another shadow hidden behind the pair of eyes, but it was all in vain, he only saw his figure reflected on the glass-like eyes, shrunk into two funny little people.
"The little hairy boy who hasn't grown his beard yet, the great fairy, don't be like him." Mu Cripple smiled at Sang, trying to hide his disappointment.
"This girl is not very old, her heart is transparent, and her courage is bigger than the average person, such a person is the most difficult to suppress, and if she can't say it, she will rebel against the army." Mulberry's expression was vicious when he said this, its face was already hideous, and now it was fierce, and Mu Cripple's heart was frightened, for fear that it would take out his anger again.
However, he was mixed in his heart, and there was even a little more joy in his heart. Because he now knows that Mu Xiaowu has not given up resistance, not only not, but she seems to be trying to regain her body, and even as Sang said, she may fight back. If so, then he is relieved. In the past few days, Mu Cripple has been worried, worried that Mu Xiaowu's body is completely occupied by Sang, worried that he can only be its slave from now on, and he will not be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.
Then there is no end in sight to this dark day.
"What's wrong with that girl?" He asked tentatively.
"Every day it buzzes in my head like a fly, and Rory is so chattering that I thought she was just a broken mouth, but I didn't think she was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to take me away. Such a wicked and cunning person, I was deceived by her before. ”
Mu Cripple didn't hold back, "poof" laughed out loud, and then, he felt that something flew towards his head, and exploded the moment it touched his skull, and the slimy liquid flowed down the door of his head into his eyes, and his whole head exuded a pungent stench.
"If you dare to laugh again, the next time it will not be rotten eggs, but your head."
After squeezing this sentence out of his teeth, Sang rubbed his hands together and strode towards the outside of the chicken pen, and just stepped out of the wooden door, he suddenly heard Susan's surprised cry from the inn, "Amy, heart, you are finally awake." ”
***
"Mommy, why are you crying?" Amy opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was to wipe the tears from the corners of Susan's eyes, and as soon as her fleshy fingers touched Susan's face, she cried even louder, and took Amy into her arms, as if she was afraid that she would fly away.
"Amy."
The door was opened, and Zhao Zimai walked in, his face was not very good, but after resting, his spirit was much fuller, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his heroic spirit was compelling.
"Mike, why are you here?" Seeing Zhao Zimai, Amy's face was suddenly filled with joy, "After getting off the boat, I thought I would never see you again, Mommy and I miss you very much." ”
Amy broke free from Susan's arms and was about to get out of bed when she lifted the quilt, but was pushed back into the quilt by Zhao Zimai.
"You're just sick, you can't move around, lie down."
"Mike," Amy stretched out a hand to grab one of Zhao Zimai's fingers, and there seemed to be stars shining in her eyes, "Mike, when you were on the ship, you used to say that if you were not happy in China, you would go back to Europa, and now that you have been back for so long, how are you doing?" Happy? ”
Zhao Zimai was stunned by her question, and then smiled, "The happiness of adults is different from the happiness of children, the happiness of children is easy to obtain, for example, Amy can reap happiness after eating a bite of ice cream, but it takes time to find the happiness of adults, so I can't tell you the answer yet." ”
Amy "scrutinized" him for a moment, "So Mike, you didn't find 'happiness', but you did see the path to 'happiness'?" ”
"What?" Zhao Zimai was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer this esoteric-sounding question for a while.
"I just say she's different, and sometimes she doesn't speak like a six-year-old, and even I am often surprised." Susan looked at her daughter, and the pride in her eyes almost overflowed.
"Mommy, Mike finds happiness here, he won't go back to Europa, so how do you marry him?"
Amy's next words caused the room to fall silent, and the awkward silence was broken only when the half-hidden door was pushed open.
"This little girl is awake, so let's go on our way." Sang leaned against the door frame and said such a sentence very blindly.
"Mike can't go." Amy looked at Sang and said sharply.
"Why?" As she said these three words calmly, Sang turned her head towards Amy, and although her red eyes were covered by a hat, Amy still felt a chill rise around her.
"I ...... Mommy and I don't know each other well, and without Mike's help, I ...... How do I find my mother? Amy swallowed and lowered her head, not daring to look at those eyes again.
"I'll ...... you"
"Great Immortal," Sang was interrupted by Zhao Zimai before he finished speaking, "Three days, you give me another three days, if you can't find Amy's biological mother after three days, we will set off to return to Beijing." ”
He was greeted by the sound of the door slamming shut, and the dust on the roof fell one after another.
Amy looked at the door panel that was shaken out of a crack, exhaled softly, and showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I was worried just now, I'm afraid that this young lady is the 'happiness' you found, it seems that I thought too much." ”
***
White smoke rose from the three teacups, obscuring the faces behind the cups.
"So the girl came down the river and was picked up by this girl?" Qingzhou County Commander Li Hai locked two gray eyebrows and asked Zhao Zimai, who was sitting next to him.
"Yes, five years ago, the location was in Dongchang County, which is close to Qingzhou."
Lehi took a deep breath, "I wonder if Lord Zhao has ever heard of a bad habit here?" ”
"Drowning." Zhao Zimai stared at Li Hai intently, and he felt as if the air around him had stopped flowing for a moment, becoming cold and abnormally cold.
Li Hai slowly closed his eyes, sighed lightly, "The custom of drowning babies can be traced back to the Tang and Song dynasties, when Zhu Xi's father, Zhu Song, served as the county lieutenant of Zhenghe, and once wrote "Quit Killing Children", which was sincere and persuaded the people not to drown babies. However, this bad habit has never disappeared, but has continued to this day. ”
"Why did they kill their own children?" Susan's eyes were gilded with surprise.
