Chapter 140: Missing Ears
Ye Mu didn't say anything more, and summoned four balls of light around him with a gesture.
Ye Mu was like a wizard with a classical magician in his hand, and everything looked as grand as some kind of grand ceremony.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Mu slowly opened this old yellow book.
Fortunately, there are no terrible curses in the book, and there are no terrifying demons sealed in the book.
"This should be a diary." Ye Mu flipped through the book and added, "A woman's diary. ”
Different from the gardener's 'stickman's story', this little book is neatly written in juanxiu dignified font, like the diary of a girl next door, which is pleasing to the eye.
If the handwriting can reflect the character of the writer, then the person who wrote this diary must be a meek, well-behaved and sensible girl.
It is also a font that Ye Mu is very unfamiliar with, but it is very similar to the words on the stone tablet of Haikucheng.
It records the most important events in the life of a diary owner.
The girl who left this diary, her name is Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing doesn't know who her parents are, and she doesn't know her background, she grew up in this mansion.
The owner of the house is a handsome middle-aged man, Xu Qingqing doesn't know his real name, and he has been called Uncle Mu since he was a child.
She has been living in this mansion with Uncle Mu since she was born, and even this nice name was chosen by this man for her.
The man who turned her flowery years into tragedy.
Since the girl was sensible, she has never taken half a step out of the house.
She had a beautiful fantasy of looking into the distance through the window, but to the girl's disappointment, the house was surrounded by an endless forest, and the silence of the forest was like death, and the girl even thought that there were no other living people in this world.
But fortunately, the house was beautiful at that time, at least in the eyes of the girl, it was the best place in the world.
Green trees and red flowers, flying in the morning and twilight, the four seasons are like spring like a fairyland.
There are many maids in the family, who take care of the girl's daily life every day.
Uncle Mu is very attentive to girls, and he responds to all the girls' requests.
Except for Uncle Mu, there are no other men in the family, but Xu Qingqing has six uncles, but they all live in other places and rarely come to the house to see Xu Qingqing.
The girl found that everyone in the house was different from her, including Uncle Mu, who had a pair of good-looking, pointed ears.
When the girl was young, Uncle Mu, who was closest to her and cared for her, once touched her head dotingly and said: "Because Tilt is the most special, so the ears are different from ours." ”
Yes, she's special.
This house is the girl's world, and she feels very happy because the whole world revolves around her.
Until Xu Qingqing was fifteen years old, the girl looked at the withered and withered flowers in the garden flower bed with a melancholy expression.
This is the only regret for Xu Qingqing, who lives in the boudoir all the year round and has never been in contact with the outside world.
"Uncle Mu, thank you again for the flowers in the yard." The girl pouted and looked at Uncle Mu beside her in disappointment.
"Flowers always have to be thanked, and no matter how beautiful things are, there will be a day when they will wither." The handsome middle-aged man bent down and stroked the girl's hair, and said dotingly: "Does Qingqing want flowers to bloom all the time?"
"Think, how beautiful the flowers are!" The girl blinked with wide eyes and nodded like a chick pecking rice.
It was the only thing she could see, the most beautiful scenery.
Uncle Mu chuckled and said, "Find you a florist another day, he can make the flowers bloom forever." ”
"Uncle Mu is so nice!" The girl stood on tiptoe and gently raised her head and pecked at Uncle Mu's handsome face.
At that moment, the girl felt that Uncle Mu in front of her was the best person in the world, and he could bring everything she wanted to herself.
Half a month later, Uncle Mu really brought back a boy dressed in gray.
The boy was not tall, with soft black hair on his forehead, a gray suit in tatters, shoes under his feet showing two small holes, and a gray face that looked quite embarrassed.
The boy had large, round eyes, a dodgy gaze that revealed an unconcealed fear.
What impressed Xu Qingqing the most was that the boy brought by Uncle Mu had no ears.
The boy wears a small brown headphone on his head, and this small earphone acts as the boy's ear, through which the boy can hear others.
"Uncle Mu, why doesn't he have ears? Is he special too?" The girl asked innocently.
"He." The middle-aged man glanced meaningfully at the boy beside him, and said lightly: "He was born without ears, and his temperament is a little weird, you have to stay away from him." ”
"It's pitiful that you don't have ears." The girl looked at the boy with pity.
"It's nothing to be pitiful, he wears hearing aids, and although it's a defective product that I made casually, it's not much of a problem to listen to people."
"Oh..." The girl scratched her head, caught a glimpse of the small soil shovel in the boy's hand, and immediately became excited again: "Uncle Mu, is he the gardener who can make flowers bloom all the time?" "Bora
"Hmm." The man smiled and nodded.
The innocent girl doesn't know that if she is born without ears and cannot hear sounds, even if she can hear sounds with hearing aids, she can't understand what others are saying.
"Hello, what's your name?" The girl happily held out her hand to the boy, and the maid of the house had taught her the etiquette of polite greetings.
The boy was taken aback, and took a few steps back nervously, Uncle Mu frowned and grabbed Xu Qingqing's little hand and said, "Who taught you?" ”
"Huh?" Xu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and blinked at Uncle Mu: "Sister Chun taught me." ”
Uncle Mu squinted his eyes and said, "What they teach you can only be used by your own family." ”
"Isn't the gardener family?" The girl asked, confused.
"It's not." Uncle Mu shook his head, looking at the boy with disgust: "Qingqing, just call him for missing ears." ”
"Good!" Seeing that the new partner in the family also had a name, the girl was happy.
Xu Qingqing couldn't tell whether the name was good or not, because the girl didn't have any concept of good or bad at all, as long as Uncle Mu got the name, she thought it was good.
Missing ears and missing ears, missing an ear.
Uncle Mu looked at the girl and said, "Qingqing, remember what I told you, he is not a family member, don't be too intimate." ”
"Got it."
The girl pursed her lips, she still couldn't understand why this boy was not a family member, she subconsciously touched her round and small ears, and secretly thought in her heart: Is it because he has no ears?
Uncle Mu casually summoned a maid and ordered: "Xiaobei, you will settle in the garden with missing ears, and from now on, he will take care of the flowers and trees in the courtyard." ”
"Yes."
The girl who was called Xiaobei saluted, the beads touched each other, and the thin silver tassels hanging from the sideburns shook a little soft halo, she walked slowly to the boy's side, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and put it on the boy's hand, took the boy's hand in disgust, and led it into the courtyard of the cloth garden.
It's like a person with a cleanliness fetish, leading a dog.
Dai Qing guessed wrong, this is the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time.
Not only Uncle Mu, but everyone in the family was particularly disgusted with the lack of ears, as if this boy was not their own kind, but a stray dog that Uncle Mu picked up on the street.
However, the boy is indeed very powerful, and has been taking care of every grass and tree in the courtyard, as Uncle Mu said, since the lack of ears came, the four seasons of the family are like spring and picturesque, even if it is a cold winter and the grass is snowing, the flowers in the courtyard have never withered.
Uncle Mu is very busy, the courtyard to the north is his exclusive forbidden place, Uncle Mu spends a lot of time in the forbidden land every day, no one except Uncle Mu is allowed to enter the forbidden place, even the servants deliver food to the door of the forbidden land, and sometimes Uncle Mu can't be seen for several days.
Although the maids around them take care of Xu Qingqing meticulously, they will always alienate the girl intentionally or unintentionally.
The more she grows up and is sensible, the more Xu Qingqing hates these maids, and the girl can keenly capture the pity in the eyes of these people looking at her.
She hated the gaze.
The girl began to deliberately alienate these people, began to have fun alone, and went to the yard to enjoy the flowers became her only interest.
As the gardener of the courtyard, Xu Qingqing felt that this embarrassed little boy had regarded the flowers and plants in the courtyard as his love, and he would cut his wrists every once in a while and nourish the flowers and plants with his own blood.
That day, the girl sat on a wooden chair as usual, tilting her head to look at the flowers and plants in the altar.
"Aren't you hurting?" This is the first time Xu Qingqing has spoken to the missing ear.
Missing Ear was stunned, took off the headphones and put them back on, he thought he was hallucinating.
How could this person's eldest lady call herself?
"Why don't you ignore me?"
"Are you a little mute?"
...
"You called me?" Missing Ear pointed at himself with a strange expression.
It was the first time the boy had spoken since he came to the house.
The voice of the missing ear is not pleasant, a little hoarse, but it is full of juvenile feeling, looking at the girl's innocent and pure face, the missing ear hangs her head slightly, and the eyes hide deep fear and resentment.
"yes, do your hands hurt?" The girl nodded.
Looking at the girl in front of him in astonishment, he never dreamed that this girl who was clearly a subhuman, but was held by the stars of the human race in the house, would one day open her mouth to care about herself.
"It doesn't hurt." Missing ears hung his head and shook his head, the corners of his mouth hooked into a self-deprecating smile.
Xu Qingqing was still a little worried, and looked at the boy with concern and said, "I see that you feed flowers and plants with blood every day, it must be bad for your health, so don't do this." ”
When the boy heard this, he sneered and said, "These flowers and plants are raised with my blood, if I don't feed them with blood, they will all die after a while." ”
It's clear that you caught me because you want the flowers in this yard to bloom forever, and now you are here to care about my body.
The cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion.
