Chapter III

Xiao Xia hurriedly ran out of the room to the kitchen, poured the hot water in the pot into the basin, poured cold water into it, tested the temperature with his hands, the temperature was just right, then picked up his own towel and came to his room, Xiao Xia took a chair from the side, put the basin on the chair, put the towel in the warm water, and then picked up the towel and wrung it out, and gently wiped the dirty things off the little girl's face, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes, her blood-red eyes stared at Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia was so frightened that her pores were so slight, and she fell backwards without standing firm, Natsu's feet knocked over the chair and spilled water all over the ground.

The little girl sat up, looked at Xiao Xia and said gently.

"It's all right! What happened to you just now, I see you just kept staring at me, and when I woke up, you were startled, did I look too scary? ”

The little girl's voice was as gentle as that sister's, but the little girl's voice was so low that if she didn't listen carefully, she wouldn't know what the little girl was talking about.

Xiao Xia also got up from the ground, and looked at the little girl with the same eyes as ordinary people.

Xiao Xia scratched her head, she should have seen it wrong, and she looked nervous.

"It's not because you're ugly, you're actually good-looking, I found that you have dirty things on your face, and I wanted to help you wipe it off, but I didn't expect you to wake up suddenly, which scared me."

The little girl also smiled, looked around, looked at Xiao Xia and asked.

"How did I get here, can you tell me where this is?"

Xiao Xia also looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression, but Xiao Xia didn't think much about it, and still answered the little girl's question.

"I found you at the entrance of our village, I saw that you were unconscious and carried you in, this is my house, I also have a grandfather named Meng Renzhe, although this place is a little dilapidated, but I have lived here for a few years, my name is Meng Xia, you can also call me Xiao Xia, and the neighbors in the neighborhood also call me that, what about you, girl?"

The little girl rolled on the bed with her head in her arms, trying to find her name in her memory, but she didn't expect her memory to be so vague that she couldn't remember it at all, and the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.

Xiao Xia also noticed that something was wrong, but she was a little scared and hesitated, but finally decided to run over.

"Girl, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl's face was painful, and her voice seemed to be out of breath when she spoke.

"I don't know, why my previous memory is blurry, I can't remember what my name is, what's wrong with me, my head hurts!"

Xiao Xia stood next to him and pondered for a while, he should have thought of something, and muttered quietly beside him.

"Why doesn't this girl remember her name, is it that my sister lied to me, I don't know if she will come to pick up her sister in a few days, no matter what, it's her business whether she comes to pick her up or not."

The little girl stared at Natsu, who had been muttering quietly.

"What are you muttering to yourself?"

scared Xiao Xia, who had been muttering, and almost sat on the ground again, but fortunately stood firm, Xiao Xia was so nervous that she stammered when she spoke.

"You..... Isn't it a headache? How is it okay now. ”

The little girl smiled again.

"Why are you so shocked, why are you so timid, I don't want to have a headache if I don't want to do it before!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she made a grimace, made Xiao Xia who was nervous on the side laugh, and then put on her shoes and got out of bed.

Someone outside the room pushed the door in.

"Ready, let's go eat!" The old man also saw the little girl standing beside Xiao Xia, revealing a kind smile, "Little girl, are you awake, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

The little girl smiled at the old man as well.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, thank you Xiao Xia and Grandpa for taking care of me."

The old man was still smiling kindly.

"It's okay, let's come over for dinner together! When the food is cold, it's not good. ”

The two children followed the old man to the chair in front of the dining table and sat down, and Xiao Xia looked ashamed when he saw the food on the table.

"I'm sorry girl! This may be the best meal in our family, because it has been snowing for the past few days, I can't go up the mountain to find food, and the road to Purple Heart City is also buried by heavy snow, so the girl will be just a few days, and when it doesn't snow, I will go to Purple Heart City to buy food. ”

The little girl looked at Xiao Xia with a smile on her face, and looked at Xiao Xia shyly.

"I'm not a big lady, as long as I can eat enough and not starve to death, I don't care if it eats well or not."

The old man asked a question that Xiao Xia also wanted to ask, and the old man was very tactful and did not ask a very uncomfortable question, and the old man also knew that the little girl was abandoned by his relatives.

"Little girl, do you have a place to go, if you don't have a place to go, you can stay in our house, dare to ask the girl's surname."

The old man had been observing the little girl's expression when he asked these questions, and if the little girl's face changed slightly, the old man would not continue to ask.

Xiao Xia also kept staring at the little girl, afraid that the little girl would have a pain in the past, and found that the little girl did not have any symptoms of headache, and Xiao Xia was also relieved.

The little girl replied with a blank face.

"I don't remember anything before I woke up, and I can't go anywhere."

The old man also nodded.

"Little girl, you will be called Mengxue in the future! Luckily. ”

The little girl also nodded in agreement.

The old man said: "Xiao Xia, you can move to my room tonight and sleep with me, Xiao Xue, you can sleep in Xiao Xia's room, just treat this place as your own home." ”

Xiao Xia and Xiao Xue nodded in agreement at the same time, and the old man got up and left.

Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Xue and smiled: "I see that you are about the same age as Xiao Na, so I am older than you, you can call me brother in the future!" ”

Xiaoxue said with a disgusted face: "You are so timid, if you become my brother, if I am bullied by others in the future, what should I do, my brother generally wants to protect his sister, can you be so cowardly?" If you can do it, I will call you brother from now on. ”

Xiao Xia said angrily: "That's me being timid in front of you, if I am not so timid in front of others, if someone bullies my friends and the people around me, I will never let him go, even if I can't beat me, I will fight, rest assured that my brother will definitely protect you in the future, I believe in my brother." ”

Xiao Xue was also warmed by Xiao Xia's words, Xiao Xue had a smile on her face, got up and walked to her room.

"Then I'll see how you perform in the future, I hope you can do what you say and go to bed early."

Xiao Xue smiled back at Xiao Xia and entered her room.

Xiao Xia stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, then clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and then returned to the room, seeing that his grandfather had fallen asleep, he slowly went to bed and lay down, Meng Xia muttered.

"I will definitely do what I say, I will definitely become stronger to protect you, and I will prove it to you."
