Chapter 9: An Adult Is Running Away from Home

With two male adults present, eating grilled fish this time was a rare experience for Archie and Ah Qiao.

The magician said that it was Grandpa Duoduo who went out of the lake to fish and caught a rare six-year-old river rice fish. This fish is juicy, with few spines, and only needs to be smeared with salt and grilled over an open fire.

"I'm roasting and drooling. Lo and behold, the ground in front of my feet was wet. ”

"Hahahaha." Duoduo was amused by the magician.

Archie and Akira glanced at each other, and both saw each other laughing.

Duoduo is a cat and eats a fish quickly. Before she could catch the second fish, Grandpa Duoduo took her away. Before leaving, he told Archie and Ah Qiao to go home early after eating the fish.

Archie and Ah Qiao replied obediently, "Yes".

Grandpa Duoduo smiled and picked up the fish basket and said goodbye to the magician. He was not shouting a magician, but a name. An ordinary name.

"What did Grandpa Duoduo call you?"

"Toothboy." The magician blurted out.

"Why do you call you 'Toothboy'?"

"You've got to tell me something. You know, everybody has a name for someone else to call. The magician replied with a smile.

Archie felt a little frustrated in his heart, thinking that the name "Yazai" was too ordinary, and it was said that there were many "Zai" in the village, and later people began to give children nice names.

Ah Qiao doesn't pay as much attention to what the magician is called like her brother, she is eating grilled fish carefully and seriously.

"You look a little upset. Why? ”

Archie lowered his eyes, put his hands on his knees, and shook his head slightly.

The magician looked down at him for a moment, probably unclear what he meant by shaking his head. I don't know if he denies that he is "unhappy" or if he doesn't want to say why he is unhappy.

"Well, I'll help you do a little magic."

Archie suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Do you have a lot of strength? Are you flexible on your legs? Do you need anything to hold up from your chair? The magician said as he gave up his portable chair and asked Archie to sit down.

Archie sat down. It was a very comfortable chair that held him around like a gentle embrace.

"With just one finger, I can nail you firmly to the chair. Do you believe it or not? ”

Archie wanted to say whether he believed it or not, but he changed his mind and felt that he should keep a low profile. He just smiled and shook his head. Smiling like a magician.

Ah Qiao stopped eating fish in surprise. Apparently, she was trying to figure out what it meant to "nail with one finger."

Archie sits, the magician stands, he leans down and points his index finger at Archie's forehead.

"The magic has happened! Come on, young man, stand up and show us what you have to do! ”

Archie got up as usual, which should have been an easy thing for him, but something magical happened. What used to be easy has now become so difficult. Obviously, the magician only stretched out one finger, but he couldn't stand up as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of weight.

Archie struggled unbelievingly, and the portable chair was staggered by him, and the man had not yet stood up.

"Alright, alright, that's it." The magician smirked, "You're such a tough little guy. ”

Without waiting for the two children to ask, the magician revealed the secret himself. He said there were two secrets. One is that he stands and Archie sits; The second is that although Archie's strength is great, the contact between the two is very small. The large strength and small contact surface caused Archie to be unable to break through the resistance and stand up.

Ah Qiao listened with flashing eyes, listening very attentively. Gradually, her eyes were filled with adoration as she looked at the magician.

A magician who can grill fish and reason!

Ah Qiao smiled sweetly at the magician.

The magician glanced back, happened to see her sweet smile, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah, our Ah Qiao looks so good when he laughs!" Ah Qiao, when you smile, your eyes seem to be full of stars! You have made me re-understand a word that we often say: splendid. ”

An adult, two children, laughed together.

Grandpa Duoduo sent a total of 5 grilled fish, and the magician roasted them for a long time, but in fact only ate one.

The magician eats grilled fish, not at all like Grandpa Duoduo, not like Duoduo, not like Duoduo, not like Archie so-so, but like Ah Qiao, careful and serious.

Therefore, Archie had already finished eating his one, and beat the small pebbles for a long time before the other two finished the grilled fish. Fruit enjoy fish bones.

After eating the fish, the magician washes his hands at the lake, and after washing, joins in the water rafting activity.

Ah Qiao sat in the magician's magical portable chair and watched his brother compete with the magician.

The sun sets over the treetops, and time passes quietly.

Because there was no call from his grandmother in the woods, Archie gradually lost track of the time. The reason why Ah Qiao didn't remind him was because Ah Qiao, who was full of food and drink, fell asleep in the gentle portable chair!

Inside the crescent moon village, Archie's house.

Grandma endured a lot of severe pain and fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was noticeably darker.

The home is quiet. Grandma looked at the sky, it was about the time when the tired birds returned to the forest and the villagers had dinner. At the thought of dinner, Grandma suddenly came to her senses. She hasn't cooked dinner for the kids yet.

She hurriedly tried to stand up, and although it was very laborious, she did it.

"Archie." She shouted, her voice unexpectedly weak.

"Ah Qiao." She shouted again, but no one answered her.

Grandma panicked and almost rolled out of bed. She fumbled for it, and at last sat up, trembling, and helped her out of bed.

The room is very quiet, and there is no one when you hear it. However, the sunset is about to set, where did the two children go?

Grandma's heart was anxious, and she didn't have the strength to walk quickly, which caused her to be even more anxious.

She thumped her legs as if they were two horses with a carriage and would run fast when the whip urged her to do so.

Grandma found a slender bamboo knot behind the door, although the bamboo is not thick, but because of its toughness, you can rely on a handful. She used it as a crutch, leaning on her back, and walked out step by step.

It took at least five times longer than usual to get out of the courtyard.

I happened to meet Grandpa Duoduo squatting at the door of his house for dinner.

"Grandpa Duoduo, are my Archie and Ah Qiao at your house?" Grandma asked in a weak tone.

"Your Archie and Ah Qiao are playing on the pebble beach of Xingyue Bay."

Grandma almost fainted with shock! Xingyue Bay is the Xingyue Bay of Xingyue Lake, Xingyue Lake has a radius of dozens of miles, how many posterity are drowned every year!

"Grandma Archie, don't panic. Blame me for not making it clear. Not only their children are there, but the descendants of the Cui family are also there. ”

After a whirlwind, grandma calmed down: "The Cui family's tooth boy? ”

"Yes. Do you remember the Cui family in the south of the village? His family moved out of the village more than ten years ago and never returned. They settled in the big city, Yazai's father unfortunately had a car accident and left, and Yazai's mother lived in a high-rise building and lived the life of a city person. Yazai himself also started a family and had two children. ”

Grandma grabbed a piece of bamboo stick in her hand tightly and gasped: "Okay, what is he doing when he comes back?" ”
