Chapter 12: The Nest
The boy's expression was stunned for a few seconds, then he opened his mouth and bit the date, accidentally bit Mingyan's finger, and even sucked a few bites, and found that he couldn't eat it, so he spit it out.
Mingyan was a little helpless, didn't bother with him, and reached out to wipe the wet water from her fingers on her clothes.
Then he took out a clean handkerchief, looked at the boy's dirty face by the moonlight, and said softly, "Come here, I'll wipe it for you." ”
The boy ignored her, lowered his head and picked up the dates and began to nibble.
He was hungry.
Mingyan put the handkerchief on his shoulder, and the moment it touched him, the boy's body froze, and his blue eyes stared at her, his eyes dark and vigilant.
After discovering that she didn't mean to hurt herself, her vigilance spread a little, and then continued to nibble on dates.
Mingyan didn't leave, but accompanied him, wanting to talk to him, "How old are you this year?" ”
“……”
Mingyan didn't care if he answered, and said to herself: "You are taller than me, you should be a year or two older than me, do you have a name?" Not...... It's okay, tell me when you want to. ”
"You remember, my name is Mingyan, I am more than four years old this year, and I will have my fifth birthday in two months."
"Where do you usually sleep at night? Where's your nest? Is it in this cellar? ”
I thought that the boy would never speak, but I didn't expect him to suddenly say, "Nest." ”
Myeong-yeon: "Huh? ”
The boy was silent and picked up the banana to nibble.
Mingyan carefully recalled what she had just said, and hesitated: "I asked you where you slept at night?" Did you say in the nest? ”
The boy's eyes lit up and he repeated, "Nest." ”
His voice is very hoarse, and every word sounds awkward, with the vernacular of Xinhua Village and the taste of other places.
Mingyan was suddenly a little curious, who is he? What about his family?
But curiosity is curiosity, she won't ask.
Because she knew that these things were extremely sad things for the other party.
Once asked, it's salt in his scars.
Mingyan said sweetly: "Your nest is not big, whether it is warm or not, do you need me to help you make a nest, the nest I made can be warm, and I will ensure that you sleep very comfortably." ”
The boy pauses as he nibbles on a banana, blinking his eyelashes and his cheeks bulging quietly.
The nest he made was also very comfortable, so he didn't want her to do it.
At this time, he was like a beast that liked to compare, and he was not convinced that his nest was very bad.
"By the way, where's my coat?" Mingyan asked casually.
The boy lowered his eyelashes, as if he hadn't heard.
What the coat meant, he didn't know.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Mingyan didn't take it to heart, and said with concern: "It's occasionally raining these few nights, you stay in the nest at night and don't come out, otherwise you will catch a cold if it rains, the cold is very serious, if you don't treat it in time, you will die." ”
Originally, she just wanted to scare him, but for a while, the crow's mouth was crow, and the next second, it was raining heavily.
Mingyan screamed, but before she could react, she was suddenly dragged into the cellar and then pulled inside to avoid the rain.
It was dark in the cellar, and heavy rain fell down the hole in the roof, and the rain flowed down the ground.
Mingyan was dragged into the wooden box by the boy, and the two squatted inside, fortunately, they were both relatively small and not crowded in the narrow wooden box.
The two stared at each other face to face.
Mingyan looked at the pair of blue eyes that were becoming more and more conspicuous in the dark, and whispered, "Thank you just now." ”
The turquoise light shimmered slightly, beautiful and bewitching.
