After waiting for seven or eight days in a row, No. 3 and No. 4 did not come back, and Renault and those Avengers did not appear, and many people began to wonder if those Avengers were real?

Caroline, Du Liniang, and Noco were all anxious, and even Hopkin was a little anxious, feeling that things might change, and fearing that when Renault reappeared, it would bring disaster to Lucius and them.

But when everyone was worried, Lecius never had any worries, still fiddling with all kinds of mechanical manufacturing and research every day, playing with the children in the town every day, even going hunting in the wild with some townspeople, and going to Hopkin's adoptive parents' house for dinner every evening.

It seems that Lucius seems to have forgotten about the people of Renault and their current situation, just quietly enjoying the rare peace of the town.

Finally, on the evening of the eighth day, when Lucius and the hunting townsfolk returned, Du Liniang and the others stopped him and forcibly dragged him back to the wooden house where Renault had left.

Forced Lucius to sit down, and Du Liniang sat down on the table next to him, crossed her legs to show her snow-white thighs, and asked him with an unkind face: "Boy, what do you want to do?

Seeing Du Liniang's snow-white thighs swaying in front of him, Lucius couldn't help but blush, and was silent for a moment and said, "Auntie, you are not good like this, you will teach bad children." ”

When Du Liniang heard this, she lifted her skirt and covered her thighs, and bent down after all, Lucius said: "Stinky boy, don't call the old lady haha, don't change the topic, answer the old lady's question directly, and say, what do you think? Do you really think Renault and those Avengers will appear?"

Du Liniang bent down and approached, and a pair of snow-white on her chest were exposed in front of Lucius. Lucius could only look away and say, "Auntie, don't get excited, I think we should wait a little longer." ”

"Knock" Du Liniang raised her hand and gave Lecius a burst of shock, and reprimanded angrily: "Wait fart, how many days have you been waiting for this? What are you waiting for? There has been no news for so long, how can I not be excited, old lady?"

Seeing that Du Liniang was angry, Caroline hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and at the same time said to Lucius, "Lucius, what do you think?

Hearing this, Lucius helplessly spread his hands and said, "Okay." Okay, then I'll tell you, in fact, I'm not just waiting for Renault's people, but also waiting for No. 3 and No. 4 to bring back news, at the speed of the two of them, it should be back in the next few days, we have to leave, and we have to figure out the situation outside first, right?"

Hearing Lucius say this, everyone was stunned. Du Liniang gave him another burst and said, "Stinky boy, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Lecius rubbed his head and said, "Oh, look at you, what's there to worry about? Okay, okay, let's go have dinner first, and wait two more days. It is estimated that the third and fourth should be back. ”

With that, Lucius stood up and led Hopkin out of the cabin and strolled through the town. Walking towards Hopkin's adoptive parents' house, Yuya Yuya looks very chic.

But before he could take a few steps, Hopkin suddenly whispered, "Brother, you're lying to your aunt, aren't you?"

Lucius smiled and whispered, "Why do you say I'm lying to them?"

"I've seen both, number three and number four come back every day to report to you what's going on outside, and Belletti and Oguferdine are there. ”

Lucius knew that he couldn't hide it from the little girl, and with the cleverness of the little girl, he naturally had insight into something.

This is not to say that Hopkin is smarter than Du Liniang and the others, but because Hopkin and Lucius spend more time together, they can see something.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Hopkin, Lucius smiled and said, "Yes, they come back every day." ”

"Then why? Why did you lie to them?"

Seeing that Hopkin seemed to be planning to break the casserole and ask the end, Lucius could only grin and say, "The reason is very simple, I'm waiting for Renault to come back." ”

Hopkin was surprised, and stopped and looked up at Lecius for a long time.

Said very seriously: "Brother, do you really believe that Renault will come back?"

"Yes, he will definitely come back. Lucius replied firmly, "Either he will bring us the support of the Avengers, or he will bring disaster to the town, but either way, he will definitely return to this town, so we must wait for him to return." ”

Hopkins was still staring at Lecius, and after a long time, he said, "Brother, is it really worth your risk? Maybe, perhaps, it would be a good choice for us to leave here?"

Lucius squatted down, gently scraped Hopkin's nose, and responded with a smile: "Hehe, don't forget, our float boat was pulled away, and now we want to leave, and there is no way to leave." ”

Hopkin frowned, thought for a while and said: "Brother, you are lying, I know, you have other ways to leave, those guys in the mechanical castle can't keep you at all, as long as you are bent on leaving, you don't want to leave because you want to take back the mechanical castle, right?"

Seeing through Hopkin's thoughts, Lecius immediately said haha: "Hehe, how is it possible, do you think my brother is a god? ”

Seeing that Lecius didn't want to admit it, Hopkin frowned, stared at Lucius's glasses for a long time, and then said, "Brother, I don't want you to end up in that mechanical castle like those relatives of mine. ”

"Hahaha, are you so unconfident in your brother?don't worry, I won't fail, I will definitely take that mechanical castle and rescue all your people, then you can still be the master of this plain, and you will continue to thrive on this plain. ”

Hearing Lecius say this, Hopkin suddenly understood something, took two steps back with a pale face, and said, "Brother, you, don't you plan to take me with you?"

Seeing Hopkin's frightened look, Lucius reached out to touch the other man's cheek.

But as Hopkin kept retreating, Lucius was not able to touch the other, but seemed to frighten the little girl.

Hopkin stepped forward and pushed away Lucius's palm, approaching and asking, "Why? Why didn't you take me with you?"

Seeing that the little girl was a little excited, Lucius hurriedly reassured: "Hopkin, you listen to me. Don't get excited, it's not that I don't want you. ”

"Why didn't you take me with you?"

"Because our road is very dangerous, I, I don't want you to take risks with you, I want you to be able to grow up in a stable environment like other children. ”

Hopkin glared at me and said with a sullen look on his face, "So, you're going to leave me behind?" But have you ever thought about my feelings? Have you asked me what I think? Why do you choose for me? How do you know that a stable life must be what I want?"

Seeing Hopkin's growing agitation, Lucius crouched down and leaned forward. Reach out and pull Hopkin's palm.

Holding his little hand in his palm, he said softly: "Hopkin, I don't want you to be hurt, the road I want to take is really dangerous." ”

Hopkin put his arms around Lecius's neck and shouted, "I don't care, I'm going to follow you." ”

Lucius didn't know that just a few days of getting along had made Hopkin a kind of dependence on him.

So many years after the loss of a parent. Hopkin felt that long-lost familiarity in Lecius again.

If her adoptive parents may have been just a substitute for her parents in Hopkin's heart, but now that she has regarded Lecius as her closest person, she does not want to lose Lecius as her brother again.

This attachment emotion. Lecius still couldn't fully understand, after all, he was still a young man, and although he was much more mature than his peers, he was still a young man in his twenties. There are some emotions that he can't really experience and understand.

However, at this moment, in the face of Hopkin, Lucius could still feel Hopkin's dependence on him. So he didn't push the little girl away.

Instead, he picked up the little girl and walked towards Hopkin's adoptive parents' house, saying: "Don't worry, I will not abandon you, and I will never let you be hurt in any way, we will arrange things first, if you don't want to stay in the end, I will respect your choice and take you with me." ”

"Really?" Hopkin looked up at Lucius in surprise, expecting an affirmative answer.

Lucius smiled and said, "Of course it's true, I'm never a liar." ”

"Shame, brother, you are really not ashamed, didn't you just deceive the aunt?"

was counted down by Hopkin, but Lucius didn't blush, but smiled and said: "That's not a lie, I'm telling the truth." ”

Hearing this, Hopkin put his arms around Lecius's neck again and said, "I don't care, if you dare to leave me behind, I will build my own floating boat and chase you." ”

"Hahaha......" Lucius couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then reached out and scratched Hopkin's nose and said, "Okay, I believe that Hopkin still has that strength, don't worry, my brother will respect your wishes." ”

While speaking, Lucius and Hopkin had already arrived at the door of Hopkin's adoptive parents.

Push the door directly in, and you will be greeted by the tempting aroma of barbecue.

Hopkin smelled the meat and immediately danced on Lucius and shouted, "Oh, oh, Daddy made a little barbecue." ”

At the same time, Hopkin's adoptive mother had already come out, and when she saw Hopkin climbing on top of Lucius, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You girl, how can you let your brother hold me back?"

Lucius smiled and put Hopkin down and said to his adoptive mother, "Hehe, my aunt is fine, Hopkin was originally my sister." ”

"Alright, alright, let's eat. Hopkin took Lucius by the hand and walked into the room.

Seeing Hopkin's impatient appearance, her adoptive mother couldn't help but smile and said, "You little gluttonous cat, look at your urgency." ”

The dinner began in a happy atmosphere, and seeing the happy appearance of Hopkin and his adoptive parents, Lucius secretly thought to himself: Sister, don't worry, I will never let you lose your current stable life. (To be continued......)
