The stragglers didn't want to say it, and Jiang Bai couldn't do anything.

The two chatted a little more, and some of them were gone, and Chang Ji brought the meal over and sat aside stiffly.

Jiang Bai put out the dishes and chopsticks and beckoned the stragglers, "Eat as much as you want, you're welcome." ”

The balladeer moved his chopsticks meaningfully, because the kid did it, and he didn't make a comment.

He looked at the child who was eating and asked, "Who are you?" How to follow him? ”

"I'm from Scarlet Wood Village, Brother Jiang Bai promised to take me out of here...... "I don't know why, Changji is a little afraid of this brother."

It may be that he looks at him too coldly, in short, Changji feels that this is not a good person.

"His father is missing, his mother is going to Sumeru, this island is too dangerous, so I took him out of here." Jiang Bai explained.

The balladeer's eyes fluctuated a little, and he looked at Changji, "Your mother abandoned you?" ”

"Not really! Mom went to Sumeru to heal her illness! And it's dangerous for mom to stay in the village! ”

Changji looked at him stubbornly, very dissatisfied with his words.

The balladeer looked at him with pity, "It's naïve, if she hadn't abandoned you, why didn't she take you with her?" ”

"Mom won't abandon me! I'll find Mommy! ”

Changji picked up the bowl and went to the corner and sat down, not wanting to talk to this nasty fellow.

Jiang Bai was a little speechless, this guy is a straggler, he usually talks angrily, even if he talks angrily, how can he do the same to children?

Is this the kind of thing that can be said to a child?

Jiang Bai directly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his bowl, "Eat well!" ”

The balladeer rolled his eyes at him and ate in silence.

After eating for a while, he still couldn't hold back and looked at the child in the corner.

"I say, what would you do if your mother abandoned you?"

Jiang Bai looked at him suspiciously, "I said you, are you having trouble with this topic?" ”

If you are so obsessed with the word "abandonment", you can't have been abandoned, right?

The balladeer didn't speak, just waited for a long response.

It may be that today really evokes too many memories for him, and the little ghost in front of him who has no parents to take care of him reminds him of his former self, so that he can't help but want to hear how this child will answer.

Seeing that the stragglers were in a posture of not giving up if they couldn't get an answer, they thought about it seriously for a long time and said:

"Then I'll go to my mom and ask her why she abandoned me."

What's the point of getting an answer? It doesn't change the fact that it's abandoned. ”

Changji asked him seriously, "But, what if it's a misunderstanding?" Am I going to hate my mom for the rest of my life for unknown reasons? ”

For this answer, the stragglers were silent for a long time, and just when Jiang Bai thought that he would not ask again, he heard him ask again:

"What if, if you get an answer, it's not a misunderstanding?"

"Then I'll live a good life alone."

Looking at the stragglers who were obsessed with this topic, relying on Jiang Bai's presence, Changji deliberately asked a rhetorical question:

"Brother, have you ever been abandoned?"

The balladeer gave him a cold look, and saw that he shrank his head for a long time and ate silently.

Jiang Bai glanced at the straggler who was poked in the sore foot, it seemed that this guy had indeed been abandoned and had not run away.

But who is the one who forsaken him?

Is it his maker?

And why did you abandon him?

Jiang Bai blocked his gaze at Changji, "Don't bully children!" What's the point of you being a 500-year-old bullying a small child? ”

The balladeer looked at him blankly.

Just take a few glances at this little ghost, why is it bullying children?

If you are afraid because of this, it is too useless.

After eating, Changji packed up his things and got into the sleeping bag that Jiang Bai gave him, he was too tired during the day, and when he put a pillow on his pillow, sleepiness couldn't stop coming, and Changji fell asleep after a while.

Jiang Bai yawned and looked at the stragglers who hadn't planned to leave: "I'm going to rest, do you want to rest here?" ”

The balladeer sat in front of the stove where the fire was still lit, and said, "I'll go when my clothes are dry." ”

"If the rain doesn't stop at night, you can rest here all the time, and remember to close the door for me if you want to leave." Jiang Bai yawned and got into his sleeping bag as well.

He wasn't worried that the Balladeers would attack him while he was asleep, and if he did, he wouldn't have to wait until today.

The stragglers glanced at Jiang Bai, who closed his eyes and was defenseless, and didn't know what to say for a while.

I didn't know his true identity last time at Wangshu Inn, I already knew his identity, and I was so defenseless against him.

Being treated like this, he was a little happy and hated at the same time that iron could not be made of steel.

"Are you so defenseless against me? What if I get a mission and want to attack you? ”

Jiang Bai said simply and directly: "I believe in you." ”

The balladeer was stunned and turned his face away.

He felt that he was not worthy of such a friend, nor did he deserve such trust.

He picked up his clothes that he had dried, put them on, and pushed the door open.

"Hey, it's still raining outside? Just gone? ”

Jiang Bai got up from his sleeping bag and looked out through the window.

It was dark outside the window, and the stragglers who had walked some distance gradually merged with the darkness, and he walked in the rain, and the wind and rain once again wet his clothes.

Jiang Bai: "? ”

Is there something wrong with him?

What's the point of this drying out?

It's 500 years old, how can it be better than 12 years old?

"What a bear's ......"

What an adolescent rebellious teenager, a bear child is pretty much the same!

Klee is more sensible than him and knows how to take care of her body.

Even if the puppet doesn't catch a cold, it can't be so bad!

Jiang Bai tore through the window and threw the cloak hanging next to him out of the window, hitting the head of the straggler, smashing him to the ground.

When he looked back, Jiang Bai's scolding words came out:

"How can you be as willful as a child at the age of 500? When you go out in the rain, you won't have an umbrella and wear a coat! Your hat can stop a fart from the rain! It's really annoying to watch! ”

He has taken Qiqi, Klee, and Changji, but no matter which child he is, he is more sensible than this five-hundred-year-old child.

It's a stinky body, and it's really annoying to look at.

The cold rain fell on his body, and the coolness spread from his clothes to his body, and the stragglers looked at the irritable Jiang Bai, and wanted to say a bad word as usual, saying that he didn't need this kind of thing.

But looking at the warm fire shining through the window, he didn't say anything, silently picked up the coat and draped it over his body, and turned to leave.

The rain didn't stop and the thunder roared.

He walked to the top of the hill again, and looked around him in total darkness, and could see nothing.

The robes and hats kept the rain out, and only the splashes wet his feet.

In the distance is Tatarasa, and in the near future is a bright, humble matchbox.

He curled up, burying his head in his knees.
