Chapter 13: Little Things
While Li Le was eating, he couldn't help but look at Brother Bai, whose face was slightly softer, and asked:
"Brother Bai, what position do you usually hold in the city? Have you been guarding the city? Why did you come back so early today? ”
When Bai Ye heard Li Le's words, his cold eyebrows relaxed, and he said, "The city gate is on duty, and the district chief takes turns guarding it. ”
It turned out to be on duty, no wonder Brother Bai came back so early today.
Li Le's eyes flashed with a sudden look, and he didn't think much about it anymore, but he held a spoon in his hand and pulled the rice in the bowl, squinting with satisfaction.
Not to mention, I don't know how Brother Bai's rice is cooked, the taste is different from the food she has eaten before, but it tastes really good, spoonful by spoonful, people can't stop.
Bai Ye glanced at Li Le, who was concentrating on cooking, with no expression on his face, but a trace of warmth flashed in the depths of his eyes:
The child picked up is indeed very well-behaved, adding some vitality to the room, but eating a little less, but this is not a big problem, and it can still be raised after a while.
I have to say that this bit of noise in the house rarely made him come back a little earlier.
After Li Le finished eating, he diligently put the bowls and chopsticks together, sat there upright, his eyebrows and eyes were bent, and he said, "Brother Bai, I'm done." ”
Bai Ye looked at Li Le's well-behaved appearance, coughed lightly, and said, "... I'm going to clean up..."
Li Le looked at his small bowl and the same big bowl as Brother Bai's, and nodded obediently.
Brother Bai stacked the bowls and spoons together, and even took out a donation cloth from under the table and wiped the wooden table.
Brother Bai saw Li Le nodding, his eyebrows stretched a little, he picked up his things and walked to the kitchen, at this moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said:
"That's right... Lele, these days, you can bring some silver coins with you, go to the old man in the outer city to buy some 'big medicine', and you can bring back anything you want..."
Immediately, he paused and added, "... Just take some silver coins, and it's better not to take those gold coins out there..."
Brother Bai said that, and went into the kitchen with the plates.
Brother Bai just came back and bought a big medicine and came back, how could he let her run again?
Li Le was stunned for a moment, but then quickly reacted: where did he want her to help, obviously worried that she was too depressed in the house alone, and wanted her to go out and go around more...
even specially told her not to bring gold coins, and let her go out with a column, which shows that Brother Bai has good intentions...
Li Le's fingers on the table curled up slightly, sighed, his eyes wandered for a moment, and then he saw the semi-circular thing on the wooden table that emitted the light of a candle.
The little thing was in the shape of an oval semicircle, upside down on the wooden table, and the whole body was like a translucent cover of stone gray, and the stone cover was faintly jumping with a little yellow light, and the soft light illuminated the room flickering, which looked very good.
Before entering the house, Li Le saw a candle-like light outside the window.
She was stunned for a moment, looking at the bright yellow light emanating from the stone-gray translucent stone cover, and said strangely: "... What is it? ”
Not to mention, he was just about eating just now, and Li Le really didn't find such a small thing in the corner of the table.
Li Le squinted slightly, and also relied on Brother Bai to be at home, and stretched out his hand to tentatively touch the translucent lime cover like a lampshade.
As soon as she touched her, she was stunned, because her fingertips poked a soft pit at the cover, and there was a warm touch on it, and it was a little warm, like warm jade, and at the same time...
"Squeak—"
The little thing on the table let out a small cry when Li Le poked it, and this scream... Sounds a bit like a chipmotle...
Li Le's face was a little strange, looking at the "lamp" on the table, instead of withdrawing his hand, he used his index finger and thumb to pinch the small thing off the table.
I have to say that Li Le is not an ordinary person, she pinched the small stone gray thing that was not as big as her palm, got closer curiously, and even turned it up and down twice.
The semi-circular "lamp" trembled twice, like a bullied little hamster, and let out a few more 'squeaks'.
Li Le was stunned to hear some anger from this voice, she was happy, turned her hand and put this little thing in the palm of her left hand, and observed it closely, even happier:
"You little bit and claws... Your eyes are too small, aren't they? Rice grains are the same... Can you open it normally..."
Li Le smiled and groaned, and as he spoke, he stretched out his right index finger and gently poked the little thing, and his tone was teasing.
The little thing seemed to understand something, and was lying in Li Le's palm and pretending to be dead, but after listening to Li Le's words, the little body trembled, and let out a rapid cry:
"Squeak-squeak-squeak-"
Li Le smiled lightly, stared at the angry and trembling little thing and said, "Eh... You compliment me on my beauty and want to follow me? ”
The screams of the little things became more rapid, and the small fluorescent yellow light spots in the body rotated back and forth, and the light and shade of the light changed dramatically.
Li Le seemed to be angry as if he didn't see the little thing, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "... Okay, then I'll take you reluctantly..."
"Squeak-squeak-squeak-"
The little thing's cry became more and more rapid, as if it was about to be.
Li Le's fingers were still poking at the little thing, with a smile on his beautiful face, and said, "Okay, then it's decided... No one is allowed to cheat..."
That little thing seemed to be ruthless by Li Le, and when he heard Li Le's words, he was extremely angry, and the light on his body flickered brighter and darker.
Li Le was stunned.
'Poof-'
The room fell into darkness, and although the little thing moved in Li Le's palm, the light dimmed.
Li Le was dumbfounded holding the little thing.
Brother Bai in the kitchen seemed to hear something and walked out.
Li Le turned his head stiffly, looked at Brother Bai with a rare smile in his eyes, and for a while, his toes buckled to the ground...
