Chapter 40: Heartache (2nd Watch)
It can be seen from his tone and actions that he has no strength, even if he is very hungry, the boy next to him still eats slowly and methodically, and he doesn't look like an ordinary child.
A question mark popped up in Gu Liuxiao's heart, however, it is also possible that others are born with temperament.
"How old are you?" Gu Liuxiao took the chopsticks and asked curiously.
The kid looked like he was eleven or twelve years old.
"I'm twelve." Liu Luoluo said in a regular way, because he was malnourished since he was a child, he looked shorter than children of the same age, but Gu Liuxiao was shorter, so he could see his approximate age by his height.
Gu Liuxiao nodded, this child is two years younger than her, and he looks much more stable than her, hey, it is really more popular than people.
"When is your birthday?" Gu Liuxiao asked again.
"I don't know, when A-Niang picked me up, she said that I looked like I was two or three months old, and I was about to freeze to death at that time, and then she said that I was five or six months old at that time, in short, what is certain is that I must not be more than a year old at that time, A-Niang's adopted children are too many, and with time in the future, A-Niang will not remember, I only know that it was a cold season when I picked me up."
For this past, Liu Luoluo is grateful, and he can say it without scruples about others;
But in the face of the major general, he hesitated, not because he felt that this experience was shameful, but because he was afraid that if she said it so truthfully, she would look down on herself, and she could say that she didn't remember it at will, or she could make it up, but he didn't want to deceive the major general, the major general was such a warm and kind person.
........
"Well, don't you usually have a birthday?" Gu Liuxiao's nose was sour, her eyes were red, she relied on stuffing vegetables into her mouth to hide her emotions, this kid told her experience so lightly, which made people feel even more distressed.
His voice is small, soft, and like his people, he doesn't fight or grab, it's real, it's really pitiful.
"Nope." Liu Luoluo looked at the rice bowl in front of him, and said in a low voice, it would be good if they could survive, where would they have the opportunity to celebrate their birthday.
"And do you like today?" Gu Liuxiao sorted out his smiling face and said.
"I like it!" Liu Luoluo lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then looked at Gu Liuxiao firmly, his bright eyes made Gu Liuxiao believe that he really liked it.
This day was Liu Luoluo's happiest day in the past ten years, even a hundred times happier than when he was accepted as an apprentice by his master.
"Then if you don't mind, today is your birthday." Gu Liuxiao suggested that if a person has a birthday, he will be more mature, and people will feel that they have grown as their birthday is getting closer.
She thinks so, when she was a child, she was looking forward to her birthday, two months before her birthday, she counted the days, and felt that she was growing up day by day, and her birthday was over, and it was a new year, a new countdown, and a new growth.
But after twenty-five, I don't look forward to it so much every year's birthday, hey......
"Okay." Liu Luoluo was so moved that he almost cried, the young general was such a high-ranking person, he didn't dislike himself, and gave himself a birthday.
..........
"By the way, what about your aunt." Gu Liuxiao wanted to take her over.
"My mother..... She... I died of illness when I was eight years old. Liu Luoluo said.
"I'm sorry, I don't know." Gu Liuxiao said with annoyance, didn't he say that he had no home before? I also asked, why don't you have a long memory.
"It's okay, I believe that A-Niang will be happier in her next life, she is a good person and has raised more than ten of our children alone." Because he has been in a slum since he was a child, he also sells some gadgets on the street, he has no chance to go to other people's houses, and he has no concept of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he doesn't know that A-Niang is living so hard.
When I grew up, when I arrived at the hospital, I gradually had a sense of housing and wear, and I realized how poor the living environment of A-Niang was, and A-Niang had never had new clothes to wear or good things to eat for so many years.
So, A-Niang is relieved, over the years, for them, she has paid too much, only regrets, she didn't wait for herself to grow up and be able to honor her.
Liu Luoluo fell into memory.
........
"Yes, I do." Gu Liuxiao thought about it and said firmly.
Gu Liuxiao suddenly became heavy, it turned out that there was a place like a slum, and a woman raised more than ten children alone, is this easy?
She is really happier than too many people, modern her, why is she always unhappy, suddenly feel that she lived in vain in her last life, every day at work, at home, in the canteen, life is not the slightest different, living a muddy life, in this way, it is really not what she likes, but she can't get rid of it.
"Major General, you're not curious about me... Why is this happening? ”
Liu Luoluo asked cautiously.
"Why ask, if you want to say it, you can tell me."
Gu Liuxiao came back to his senses and said with a smile.
“... Thank you so much, Major General. ”
Liu Luoluo was afraid that he would talk too much and make the young general unhappy, he was just a small person, and the matter of a small person, it would be a waste of time for the young general to listen to it.
.........
"By the way, what's your name?" Gu Liuxiao asked.
"My name is Liu Luoluo." Liu Luoluo said.
"Okay, I know, my name is Gu Liuxiao."
Gu Liuxiao introduced himself.
"I.... I only know that the major general's surname is Gu. Liu Luoluo said, the name of the young general sounds good, not like himself, just a code name taken in batches.
"Haha, remember now, Gu! Flow! Shaw! Gu Liuxiao repeated.
"Hmm." Liu Luoluo nodded.
"Major General, I don't have a job right now, can you let me work in your mansion? I can do anything, I'm not afraid of getting tired, I just want something to do. ”
Liu Luoluo asked.
To be honest, Gu Liuxiao really didn't think about what happened after that, he said so, then arrange a job for him, the child eats and sleeps all day, and it is not good to sleep and eat.
"It's better like this, I'm going to practice martial arts right away, let's learn martial arts together, there is a response, you are accompanying me to practice martial arts, what is that called, read together."
Gu Liuxiao scratched his head and thought about it, and said.
He is younger than himself, and he must learn martial arts quickly, and after learning martial arts, he is not afraid of being bullied.
"Is that okay?" Liu Luoluo's pupils dilated, and he said expectantly.
"yes, you can't be tired when the time comes." Gu Liuxiao nodded, it seems that this kid is still very eager to learn, yes, yes, young people just want to learn.
She took a preventive shot in advance, not everyone likes to practice martial arts, if he wants to hold a pen, it is okay.
