After hearing Charlotte's sincere request, Rachel nodded lightly and said, "It's so pitiful, then take it in, anyway, it's not difficult to keep a cat." But the ugly words are ahead, and you will be responsible for taking care of it in the future, and your father and I don't care. ”

"Mother, did you agree?" Charlotte looked surprised.

"For so many years, you have never asked us, such a little thing, and what can't be agreed, it's not just a pet. ”

"Thank you, mother. ”

With that, Charlotte suddenly threw herself into Rachel's arms, hugged her "lost" mother tightly, and didn't seem to want to let go for a moment.

"Natsu-chan, what's wrong with you today? Oops, you're holding it so tightly that your waist is going to break. ”

Charlotte let go of Rachel at this point, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, realizing that her actions were indeed a little too emotional.

The woman's voice and smile in front of her completely overlapped with the loved ones in her memory, and Charlotte felt that she had found the most precious treasure of her life. She only wished that time would not pass forever, that she would stop at this moment forever, so that she could stay with her mother forever and never be separated again.

"No matter how you look at it, it's like a dream, it's so wonderful, it seems to be far from the truth..."

Just as Charlotte began to wander, Rachel woke her up with a word.

"Don't be in a daze, how do you feel weird today. Just picked up a cat, as for being so excited?"

"Hehe, when I think about getting a pet, I can't help but feel a little excited. Charlotte naturally couldn't let her mother know what she really thought, so she had to smirk.

"Oh, what a stupid girl. You go to the well and get a bucket of water to wash the cat and then bring it back, and it won't be until a while before you can eat anyway. ”

Charlotte naturally obeyed her mother's instructions, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go." Then he took a bucket from the back of the hut and led Lulu in the direction of the well.

Rachel looked at her daughter's back and shook her head, "I don't know if she can have a cat, but it still doesn't matter, it's time to exercise her hands-on ability." If she's in trouble, I'll help her. ”

Rachel in this "world" knows that her daughter has "grown up" and does not need to be taken care of by others at all.

Charlotte and Lulu came to the well, and then Charlotte quickly fetched a bucket of water with her hands and feet, and the whole series of movements were done in one go, effortlessly, and there was no trace of her peers at all.

"If I were my own age, I am afraid that it would take at least one cup of tea to fetch this bucket of water. Charlotte sighed. Lulu, who was behind, nodded cooperatively.

"You nod your head, as if you know me well. ”

With that, Charlotte began to scrub Lulu with the water from the bucket. Lulu was very obedient throughout the whole process, and was fiddled with by Charlotte at will, but she was not dissatisfied at all.

"What kind of abilities does the primeval spirit beast have? But they seem to have unimaginable strength, all of them are supernatural, and if they hadn't killed each other, even violent natural disasters would not have been able to destroy them. Maybe Lulu will become my biggest helper on my cultivation path in the future, but I must have picked up a treasure anyway. ”

Charlotte didn't know she was either

It's not self-comforting, but after thinking about it like this, I do feel a lot more comfortable in my heart, although the hidden dangers that the "dark spirit beast" may bring are not small, but she firmly believes that with her own ability, she can definitely prevent it from happening, as long as she still exists, the tragedy will not happen again.

Charlotte had already washed Lulu all over her body by this time, and she walked straight in the direction of home with the bucket in her left hand and Lulu in her right hand.

"The next step is to start looking for the source of the disaster, as long as we get the key clues, I believe that all the problems will be solved. But there's no need to rush it now, after all, I still have plenty of time to investigate.

And now it's finally time to taste my father's own dinner again, I haven't eaten it in a hundred years, and I miss that taste, it's the taste of home, it's the destination of my soul. ”

Charlotte returns home with Lulu, and as soon as she enters, she finds her father and mother already sitting at the dining table waiting.

The table was full of her favorite dishes, tomato soup, chowder, oatmeal and her favorite bacon.

Charlotte was moved to see her handsome father, her beautiful mother, and the simple but tantalizing aromas on the table. Since seeing her family, she has always been overjoyed, but every time she wants to cry, she must forcibly endure it, not let the tears slip out of her eyes, and not let her parents worry about her.

"How long can a family be reunited, and what price will it cost if you want to change your fate and never be separated from your family again?"

It's not that Charlotte doesn't have confidence in herself, but everything in front of her really feels too far away, the scenery of the small village, and the faces of her parents seem to be detached, like a sweet dream that may wake up at any time.

This inexplicable melancholy always haunts Charlotte's mind, causing her to lose a moment of peace, and she suffers from gains and losses all the time.

"Xiao Xia, why are you in a daze again, this is the second time today. Hurry up and come over to eat, the porridge will be cold if it goes on like this. Rachel raised her voice.

"Sorry, I don't know what's going on, I've always been distracted today. ”

Charlotte's father, Jack, also said at this time: "If you have something on your mind, say it, don't hide it in your heart, it will have a great impact on your mental state." ”

Jack has short brown hair and turquoise eyes. He has good facial features, a high nose bridge, and a very handsome appearance. The body is not as thin as that of ordinary spirit men, and it looks healthy.

It is such a pair of parents that gave birth to such a wonderful child as Charlotte.

Charlotte hurriedly responded at this time: "I don't have anything on my mind, maybe I played a little too much today, so I feel a little tired." ”

Jack bowed his head lightly and said, "If you're tired, just rest early after eating." By the way, your mother just told me about your cat, presumably the one behind you. I wonder if it needs something to eat?"

Jack didn't have the slightest doubt about Charlotte's cat ownership, nor did he show any objections, which was actually expected by Charlotte. She knew that her father was born with a gentle personality and was very easy to get along with, unlike her own mother, so she only had to ask her mother for permission to take Lulu in, and she didn't need to ask her father for advice at all.

"Daddy, I only remembered when you said that, and let me ask about it. ”

Jack couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "Ask it, does it understand what you say?"

？”

Charlotte explained to her father, "This black cat is very spiritual, don't underestimate it. ”

After that, he turned to Lulu and asked, "Lulu, do you need something to eat?" ”

However, this time Lulu did not sacrifice a unique skill, but did the opposite. I saw it shake its head slightly, and then it lay on its side on the ground, assuming a more comfortable position, and closed its eyes, as if it was ready for a good sleep.

"It looks like he's tired too, so let's leave it alone and eat. Charlotte said when she saw this.

"You've already named it Lulu?" Rachel asked.

"How's that going?

Charlotte's eyes flashed with a little hope, expecting to be appreciated by her parents, and at this moment she seemed to return to that childish but childlike era.

Before Rachel could speak, Jack was the first to praise: "Good up, you must have thought of the moon in the night sky through the fur and eyes of the black cat, and after simplifying the word Luna related to the moon, it is Lulu, I don't know if I guessed right?"

Charlotte didn't expect her father to guess exactly the score, and immediately sighed: "Dad, you really know me so well, and it's really 'Knowing Daughter Mo Ruo'." ”

Rachel was very relieved to see the scene of the father and daughter admiring each other, but she still opened her mouth to interrupt the conversation between the two of them.

"You two don't flatter each other, hurry up and start eating, you can't eat when it's cold, if you have any topics, we'll talk about it after eating. ”

How dare the two of them slack off when they hear this, after all, Rachel is the head of the family and has the absolute right to speak.

Charlotte couldn't wait, and even though a hundred years had passed, she still couldn't forget her father's craft, which was more delicious than all the delicacies for her.

Charlotte tasted every food on the table, and the familiar taste gave her unprecedented satisfaction, as if she had been sublimated physically and mentally.

"It's just the taste, it's so delicious. Although it is just a common coarse tea and light rice, for me it is better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace. Sure enough, the most simple and simple is the most precious. ”

Charlotte ate almost twice as much of this meal as usual, and only stopped when she felt a little uncomfortable at the end.

After a meal, the food on the table was almost wiped out, which had never happened before.

The three members of this family don't eat much, so although they don't consume much ingredients each time they cook, there will still be a lot left in the end. Eating so clean is obviously the first time it has happened.

"Xiao Xia, why did you eat so much today?" Rachel asked at this time, there was no reproach in her tone, just curiosity, after all, this is very different from Charlotte's usual meal.

"Now is the time for children to grow their bodies, so they should eat more. Xiao Xia, if you don't think it's enough, Dad will make you a little more. ”

Charlotte hurriedly waved her hand to her father at this time and said, "I'm already full, don't bother my dad anymore." I did eat a little too much today, so it's better to eat less in the future. Charlotte couldn't help but burp as she spoke.

"Haha, it's okay to eat more, as long as it doesn't make your body feel uncomfortable. Jack laughed.

Charlotte volunteered to help, and after washing the dishes with the water she had made this morning, and putting them in their proper places, the dinner was officially over.
