Chapter 330: Asking for help
Thankfully, the situation that Tali had feared did not happen, and the little girl woke up the next day, and she didn't behave like a little boy like a little boy.
However, Leach and the others still haven't been able to hear anything about the two of them.
Because when the little girl woke up, although she was not as wary of Leach as the little boy, she also held the little boy and wept silently. I have to mention that the little boy is as far away as he is from Leach, but he does not resist the slightest resistance to the little girl's embrace, but seems very peaceful.
Leach speculated that the two should be sisters and brothers, not only because the little boy who was very afraid of anyone was willing to be close to her, but more importantly, one of the more important bases was that the faces of the two children were very similar, and to say that the two were not related by blood, Leach did not believe it.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the little girl seemed to finally vent her fear and helplessness in her heart, and took the little boy by the hand and walked out of the cave.
Facing Leach and them again, the little boy's face was still full of fear, but it was probably because the little girl was there, which gave him a considerable sense of security, and although he was very afraid, he still followed the little girl step by step, and did not turn around and run as before.
"Benefactor!" Before Leach could ask if the little girl felt anything uncomfortable, she took the little boy and fell to her knees with a pop.
Saya, who was closest, hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two up, but the little girl stubbornly shook off her hand and knocked her head on the ground a few times, until she hit her forehead with a bruise before standing up again.
"Little girl, you ...... Are you alright?" Leach wanted to ask the little girl what had happened to her to be so badly injured, but seeing her eyes that were red and swollen like walnuts, he dispelled the idea.
"Thank you benefactor for your concern, I'm fine. "The little girl's tutor is very good, although she is only dressed in coarse cloth, but her demeanor is generous and decent.
Being called by the little girl one by one, Leach didn't mention how uncomfortable he was, scratched his head and said, "What's that...... Don't call us benefactors, my name is Leach, you can call me brother. ”
Because he was only dealing with two children, Leach didn't think about continuing to show off under a pseudonym.
"Brother Leach. The little girl shouted in a sweet voice, which made Leach feel as good as eating a piece of chilled watermelon on a hot day.
Then Leach introduced the little girl to the four daughters of Lena, also by her real name, and the little girl called them one by one, and the five of them soon liked her.
As expected, the two children are siblings, and after a brief introduction, Leach and the others learn that the sister's name is Michelle and the brother's name is John.
"That...... Your brother used to be ...... too. Is this what this looks like?" Tali, who was the most curious, asked cautiously as much as she could, for fear of causing Michelle to be unhappy.
"No!" Michelle's expression darkened, "Brother, he used to be just like ordinary children, if not even smarter, if not...... If it hadn't been the other day...... Woohoo......"
As if it was a bad memory, Michelle cried again as she spoke.
Glaring viciously at Tully who couldn't open any pot, Leach and Lena had a lot of trouble calming Michelle's emotions.
"Right...... I'm sorry......" Michelle choked up her tears, but she still sobbed a little when she spoke. Even at this time, the first thing that came to her mind as kind-hearted was that she had caused trouble for Leach.
"It's fine. Michelle's kindness and well-behaved became more and more distressing, and Ti Xinlier stepped forward with red circles in her eyes and hugged her and John into her arms, comforting her softly, "It's all over, those bad things, you can say it if you want to say it, and no one will force you if you don't want to say it." ”
It's strange to say, I don't know if it's affected by the kind of virgin-like temperament on Ti Xinlier, or if he didn't resist when he saw his sister, or if he felt that his sister's injury was healed by Ti Xinlier, John, who has always been very resistant to people other than Michelle, didn't struggle for the first time, but showed a fascinated expression on his face, and looked at the motherly Ti Xinlier in a daze.
After a long time, Michelle blushed and reluctantly left Ti Xinlier's arms.
Seeing her frowning and bowing her head without saying a word, Leach and the others thought that she was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate herself. However, as outsiders in this kind of thing, they don't know how to comfort them when they don't know the facts at all, so they can only rely on her own to come out of the shadows.
However, it seems that Leach and the others are a little at odds.
Michelle lowered her head not to cry sadly, but to think about something very important.
After weighing it again, she finally made up her mind, raised her head and looked at Leach with burning eyes, and said, "Brother Leach, I'm ...... Can I ask you for something?"
To be honest, for Michelle's crying nose, Leach is indeed a little soft-hearted and sympathetic, but it is also really a little big-headed, at this time, seeing that her face is full of solemnity, not as tearful as imagined, while breathing a sigh of relief, I can't help but be very curious about what she wants to say, so I nodded and motioned for her to continue.
It may be that Leach's lack of refusal gave Michelle a lot of self-confidence, and she spoke a lot more smoothly next: "I want to ask you to help us find out who the murderer is!"
Michelle's words are both reasonable and unexpected.
The scars on the two of them were obviously wounded by sharp weapons, not the work of beasts or monsters, which had been known when Leach rescued them, so there was bound to be a murderer who caused all this, Michelle would ask them to help find out the identity of the murderer, which Leach had long expected, and even if she was greedy, she asked Leach's help to take revenge, and Leach had already been mentally prepared for this.
What really surprised Leach was that from Michelle's expression, he found that she didn't seem to be satisfied with letting Leach and them help find out the identity of the murderer, but wanted to get involved herself, which really didn't seem like a decision she could make for a little girl who had just undergone a huge change.
"Michelle, have you thought about it? You know that it will be dangerous to do this, and don't forget that you still have a brother to take care of!"
