Zhu Youning became even more worried when he heard this.

Sixteen's physique is inherently different from that of normal people, and it used to be a tendon, and it is difficult to change what he identifies. If you become more stupid now, won't your life be worrying in the future?

Li Tuobei couldn't help but scratch his head when he saw that Zhu Youning's brows were furrowed even tighter. went out to Hangzhou, and found that Xiao Jiu's sister seemed to be more serious than before.

Maybe it's because of too many things that a precocious child has become more mature, right?

When the group returned home, Zhu Huating had already been wearing a cotton jacket and stretched his neck at the gate of the courtyard and waited for a long time, and when he saw his daughter coming back, he immediately smiled and said: "I'm back, Brother Bei'er is also here, come in and warm up." ”

"Uncle Zhu." Li Tuobei smiled and saluted.

Zhu Huating said: "No need to be so polite, please come in." As he spoke, he rubbed his daughter's head with his big hand, looked down at her, and said distressedly: "I have lost a lot of weight, and my face is not as round as before." ”

Zhu Youning was speechless for a while, and a round face is not a good thing!

When I returned home, I went to see Bai's first, and her mother naturally pulled her to ask long and short questions, Zhu Youning smiled and gave some rouge gouache, pen, ink, paper and inkstone brought back from Hangzhou to his parents and Zhu You'an as gifts, and gave Li Tuobei a set of full etiquette for the four treasures of the study, and hurried to see the sixteenth.

In the wing, Sixteen was lying on the bed in a daze, obviously about to fall asleep.

As soon as he saw Zhu Youning approaching, Sixteen immediately came to his senses, his eyes were round, and he said excitedly: "Sister, you're back!" ”

"yes." Zhu Youning couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sixteen's eyes full of innocence and trust: "You were still asleep when I left, you were almost scared to death." Are you better now? ”

"It's much better. I think I've recovered, but my father and mother didn't allow me to go out, so they told me to raise them at home, and they didn't allow me to go to the ground, and I was about to suffocate! Sixteen grumbled.

Zhu Youning saw that his logic was completely normal, and he was not as stunned as Li Tuobei said, so he relieved his heart slightly.

What Zhu Youning didn't know was that after he woke up, he was indeed silent a lot, and he was often in a daze, which looked a little abnormal, and because of this, Zhu Huating and Bai were afraid that something would happen to him, so they didn't allow him to go out and run wildly, and detained him in bed to recuperate.

Zhu Youning took off his hood, took off his cloak, and sat sideways on the edge of the sixteenth bed.

Sixteen immediately moved in, pulled Zhu Youning to sit next to him, divided half of the quilt to her, covered her legs, and pulled her cold hand to cover her hand: "Is it very cold outside?" Look at you're freezing! ”

Zhu Youning was softened by the honest and caring appearance of the little boy in front of him, and wanted to ask about the events of the day, but he was a little hesitant.

Should she really bring it up again?

But if you don't ask clearly, what if there are accidents in the future? She must at least know who they should be guarding against.

Zhu Youning pursed his lips and deliberated on his words, not knowing how to speak appropriately.

Who knew that Sixteen didn't know what he thought, he suddenly pouted sadly, slowly put down the little fat hand covering Zhu Youning's hands, lowered his head and choked up: "Sister, Dad definitely doesn't want me anymore." ”

Zhu Youning's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Sixteen held his mouth, tears began to accumulate in his big eyes, and the tears suddenly dripped on the back of Zhu Youning's hand, and he sobbed and said: "That day, I saw my father, I was very strange, my father was already dead, I buried it with my own hands, why is he alive again, I was very happy, so I caught up, but when my father saw me, he was not happy at all, and frowned and said with disgust, 'Why are you still alive', and then beat me to death." Sister, my dad must hate me. He lost you, he doesn't want me anymore, he wants to kill me, Dad is too bad! ”

In the end, he actually clutched the quilt sadly and cried.

The child's sad cry was extremely penetrating, and Li Tuobei and Zhu Huating, who were talking in the upper room, heard it.

Li Tuobei was a little worried, and was about to get up to check the situation, but was stopped by Zhu Huating, "Brother Bei'er, don't go, Brother Hong'er's child has been holding things in his heart, and he has been depressed for so many days, he trusts his sister the most in his heart, and he wants to speak when he sees Fu Ya'er, it's a good thing, cry and vent his emotions, maybe it's fine." ”

Li Tuobei nodded when he heard this, sighed and said, "What Uncle Zhu said is true." ”

In the side room, Zhu Youning wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and clumsily hugged his shoulders to comfort him.

Sixteen was extremely aggrieved, crying and sobbing, out of breath, and his words began to be reversed: "When I was a child, I always pricked me with needles, so many brothers and sisters, one after another, I resisted, stabbed me, and used the same method to stab you again, or throw me into the potion to boil, boil me and cook you!" Also, give me those medicines that make me feel very uncomfortable, and I'll feed them to you!

"I don't understand why my dad is always so fierce, unlike my dad now, who is patient with me and never loses his temper with me...... He lost you, even if he didn't have the face to come to see me, why did he die and live, why did he hate me so much when he saw me! ”

Zhu Youning put his arms around Sixteen, patted him on the back to soothe, extracted useful information from his chaotic words, and actually sketched an unbelievable guess in his mind.

The attic full of medicine cabinets in the mountains, the so many barrels in the yard, the experiences that Sixteen talked about, and the physique that Sixteen is now a freak......

He was always pricked by needles, "boiled" by potions, and fed medicine, which is why he became the physique he is now. Maybe his brain is so tendoned, and it is also affected by those unknown drugs.

And Sixteen said "so many brothers and sisters, one after another, I will fight the piercing", indicating that those brothers and sisters have the same experience as Sixteen, and those children have been tortured to death a long time ago.

The most important point, Sixteen means, that his "father" first used him to do experiments, and then went to give his original sister needles, soak potions, and feed medicine.

Does this mean that those brothers and sisters, including Sixteen, are actually the medicine people used by their "father" to test the medicine?

"Brother, how old are those brothers and sisters? Are they all dead? ”

Sixteen wiped his face, nodded, and said aggrievedly: "They are all as old as us, and they are all dead." Some of them died of medicine, and some of them were boiled to death. ”

Sixteen's answer verified Zhu Youning's guess.

These children are really medicine people who are used to test medicines.

And the ultimate goal of that "father" may just be to save Sixteen's sister.
