"Hmm......" Lan Pao pulled the rice grains in the bowl and thought for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info finally jumped off the stool to serve the meal: "No." But after saying that, he thought about it and said, "By the way, there is a person who came and knocked on the door today while the master was away." ”

The master was slightly stunned, and the chopsticks in his hand suddenly stopped in the bowl. Make a "ding" sound.

Lan looked up at Master. This was the first time in almost a month that I had seen Master show such an expression.

I called the master a few times, but found that the master didn't take care of him. With a slightly lowered brow, the master seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, the master put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Lan and asked, "What does that person look like?" ”

Lan shook his head: "Master didn't let Alan move, I didn't see it." ”

"I don't see it." The Master repeated in a low voice, and then asked, "Has this person come into the courtyard?" ”

Lan shook his head again: "No." He stood at the door and knocked on the door. At that time, the master was not there, and the master did not let Alain move. Alain did not dare to go over and open the door. ”

Master's lips moved slightly, and his fingers rested on the table and clasped gently. He didn't speak for a while. Lan saw that the master didn't speak, and he didn't think deeply. Get off the stool and stand and reach for the dishes on the table.

When the master saw it, he reached out and moved the dish to the edge of the orchid: "Eat well." ”

Lan didn't speak, sat down on the stool and ate by herself.

At the age of four and a half, Lan's amount of food has reached so many boys of the same age, or even surpassed. If it were when Da Da was at home, Da Da would never allow Alan to eat so much. The reason is very simple, girls eat so much and are easy to get fat, and if they get fat, they don't look good, and they can't get married. But Master is different. Although the master is very strict with herself during the day, she never cares about such a big thing as eating.

Lan finished eating the rice in the bowl in a few bites, and swallowed it fiercely. Only then did he look at the master with some satisfaction: "Master, why don't you eat?" ”

The master was pulled back to his senses by Alain's cry, looked down at Alain, and said, "You eat first." But the solemn expression on his face still stayed on his face and did not dissipate.

Master wasn't like that before. Lan looked at Master and wrinkled her nose. She hadn't seen Master look like this in the past month. Master will always have that kind of expression. It's like...... It's like...... Yes, it's like the expression in a shadow puppet show, it doesn't change.

Alain didn't bother to take care of the master. Bang Bang Bang is another half bowl of rice in my stomach.

After pulling the last grain of rice in the bowl into his mouth, Alain wiped his mouth and prepared to leave. But she didn't want to take two steps before the master behind her suddenly stopped her.

"Alain, follow me back to my room." Master said.

Alain looked back at the master, but found that the master had already walked out first, and hurriedly followed.

After returning to the room, Master lit the candles. A soft light slowly illuminates a small part of the room. Alain saw the Master standing in front of the candle, his expression having returned to his previous shadow puppet face.

"Do you want to know where you and A-Niang went?" Master asked suddenly.

Alan didn't expect the master to ask this, looking at the master's back, he asked without thinking, "Didn't I go out with my mother?" ”

Master raised his eyes to look out the window, his lips slightly open, and sighed softly. Then he said, "Yes." They went to a far place. It may be a long, long time before it comes back. ”

"Then that, is Master going to take Alain to them?"

After a long while, Master asked again, "Do you want to go to them?" ”

"Think, think, think!" Alan ran to the master's side and reached out to pull the hem of the master's clothes: "Master, do you know where I and A-Niang have gone?" ”

Master turned around and looked down into Alain's eyes. He reached out again and rubbed her head: "If you want to go to them, Master will take you there." ”

Alain's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Master nodded: "But you have to promise Master one thing." ”

"Okay." Alain deserves it very simply. But this made the master frown.

"Did Master teach you that you can't promise others when you don't know what conditions they are proposing?"

Alan blinked: "But Master is no one else." ”

The flame of the candle was reflected in Master's eyes, dancing gently with the wind blowing in from the window. Alain just looked up at the master, and the master looked down at Alain.

After a long while, Master said, "Even Master can't do it." Did You Know? ”

Lan blinked. Master's tone when he said this was very gentle. It's like the first time I met Master. At that time, the master even smiled at himself, which was very good-looking.

Alain nodded: "Alain knows." After speaking, he paused for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Then that, Master, what conditions does Alan want to promise you?" ”

Master didn't go any further. Instead, he put one hand on Alain's head and the other behind him. Look up at the moon outside the window. It was blown into the house by the wind, and it was cold. Alain grabbed the hem of Master's clothes and ducked behind him. Master sensed Lan moving, so he looked down at her.

Lan found that the master looked at him again, suddenly stood a small step forward, and returned to the position just now: "Master, you haven't said it yet." ”

"Alain," the master looked at her, and his tone became gentle again, "If you want to go to Da and A-Niang, you must learn all the things that Master has taught you." Otherwise, you won't find them. ”

Alain looked at the master and didn't understand why the master would say that. But he still nodded: "Alain promised Master." ”

"Also, from the time you go to them, you must not be afraid."

"Scared? Afraid of something? Robbers? ”

Master shook his head slightly: "Something ten thousand times more terrifying than a robber." ”

Alain asked, "What is that?" ”

"You don't have to know yet." Master said. "Finally, Master wants you to promise something."

Alain's mouth opened wide: "Huh? Master has just asked Alan to promise so many things! ”

"Good, obedient." The master squatted down and looked at her levelly: "You must agree to this matter." ”

Alan thought for a while, and finally stretched out his little hand and gestured in front of the master: "Then and that, Alan wants five strings of sugar gourds!" ”

The master was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Alan to put forward such a condition. After thinking about it, the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, and he smiled. He said, "Okay, Master promises you." ”

(What Alain would never tell me is that it was because of these five strings of sugar gourds that she started something she would never have imagined in her life...... (To be continued.) )
