Thinking back on the path he had taken before, Chiyorei didn't waste many times before arriving at the shoal again. However, before he even got close, a camp being built on the beach attracted all his attention.
Chiyo Rei looked over from a distance and felt that the tents in the camp looked familiar.
In order to see more clearly, Chiyo Rei took a few steps forward, and then he saw the totem in the camp.
After staring at the sign for a while, he finally remembered what it was. It was the sign of fools in the game.
This is the camp of fools!
Chiyorei realized this and immediately wanted to turn around and run away. Unfortunately, before he could turn around, the fools in the camp spotted him first.
The few fools who were assembling the tent stopped what they were doing and looked warily in the direction of Chiyo Rei.
Chiyo Rei, who was locked by several gazes, swallowed her saliva and her brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to get out of this situation.
At this time, he unexpectedly saw a basket in the camp.
Chiyo Rei's eyes immediately shifted to the basket. If he admitted it correctly, it was the basket that he and Qingqi had put on the roadside yesterday, but the fruits and vegetables inside were missing.
In an instant Chiyo Rei knew what he should do.
I saw that he did not turn around and run away, but walked straight towards the camp of the Fools.
Those fools were stunned for a moment when they saw him approaching.
"Why do you want to take our things?" Chiyorei asked loudly when he came to the camp.
The leading fools frowned when they heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Take your things? What is it?" They fools were unscrupulous in doing things, but they would not steal children's things.
"We put the fruits and vegetables in that basket on the roadside yesterday." Taking out the answer he had prepared a long time ago, Chiyorei lied plausibly, "No wonder my brother and I couldn't find it, it turned out that you took it away! "
When he said these words, he tried his best to put himself into the poor child whose food rations were stolen, suppressing all the guilt of lying to the bottom of his heart.
Unconsciously, Chiyo Rei even started to get into the drama, and a sense of grievance emerged from her heart.
It was obvious that they had gone through a difficult time, yet their food was taken away.
In grief and anger, Chiyo Rei sniffed, tears flashing from the corners of her eyes.
When they saw that he actually cried, the fools no longer doubted that this child was here for porcelain. They looked at each other, and for a moment they all felt that it was a heinous crime for adults to bully a child into crying.
In the end, the leading fool couldn't stand the stagnant atmosphere and apologized to Chiyo Rei, "I'm sorry, little brother, I didn't know it was your thing. I thought someone threw it on the roadside."
Chiyorei wiped the corners of his eyes and retorted in a low voice with red eyes, "I didn't just throw it away on the roadside. I was too tired yesterday and my brother wanted to carry me back, so I had to put it there."
Knowing that this was the reason, the fools didn't even know what to say.
One of the fools always felt that something was wrong. He thought about it and asked, "Do your parents not care about you?"
"My parents passed away." Chiyorei answered truthfully.
As soon as these words came out, these fools all showed expressions of "I really deserve to die".
Chiyo Rei noticed this, he lowered his head and silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Hey, it turns out that's what we did wrong." The leader of the fools said helplessly, "Let's give you Mora, just think that we bought these vegetables."
Deliberately pretending to be hesitant, Chiyorei thought about it for half a minute before nodding, "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed with this solution, the fools immediately took out their wallets from their pockets, took out Mora and handed it to Chiyo Rei.
I don't know if it was because of guilt, but the compensation given by the fools was far greater than the value of the basket of vegetables.
But Chiyo Rei did not take the money. He waved his hand honestly, "This is too much. Those dishes are not worth so much."
"It's okay, just take it and go buy some more food with your brother." The leading fool sighed, "It's not easy for everyone these days."
After hearing what he said, Chiyo Rei was inexplicably moved.
But then he thought about it, the poor people around Talisha were not caused by you fools.
Those touches disappeared in an instant under this knowledge, but even so, Chiyo Rei still did not accept those Mora.
"I can't take advantage of you." Chiyo Rei said righteously.
Seeing this, the leading fool couldn't force it any more, so he could only give Mora to him at the price Chiyorei said.
Seeing that Chiyo Rei was finally willing to accept the money, the leading fool hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Little brother, what is your name? Where do you live?" He thought that he would have a chance to see this child and his family again in the future. elder brother.
It's hard for orphans to survive anywhere, let alone two children dependent on each other.
Chiyo Rei's movement to collect the money was slightly stagnant because of this. He could feel the kindness of this fool, but he really couldn't tell his name and where he lived.
What if this group of fools were ordered to hunt down and investigate Qingqi, then wouldn't he just throw himself into a trap?
After thinking about it like this, Chiyo Rei decided to give a fake name and address.
So he read out the name and address that first came to his mind, "My name is Edogawa Conan, and I live in Rice Flower Village."
"Mihua Village? Is there such a place nearby?" The leading fools were confused. They had just arrived in Daozhi and were not familiar with the surrounding villages and towns. They only roughly identified the location through the map, and it was impossible to mark every village and town on the map. .
Chiyo Rei was afraid of being exposed, so he quickly added, "It's not easy to find in the mountains."
Fortunately, the leading fool didn't question it any more. He wrote down the name and address, and also lamented that there were many mountains in Inazuma.
Seeing that he had fooled all the fools, Chiyo Rei proposed to go back.
When they heard that he was leaving, the leader of the fools suggested, "I'll send you to find your brother."
Chiyo Rei didn't expect this group of fools to be so kind. He immediately waved his hand and said, "No, uncle, you guys should be busy. I will go fishing with my brother later."
Although he was rejected, the leading fool was not angry. Instead, he felt that the child was quite wary, so he smiled and said, "Then I won't send him away. Conan, please be careful on the road."
Stunned by Chiyo Rei called Conan, he suddenly understood how the protagonist in Detective Conan felt when he shrunk and pretended to be a child.
Chiyo Rei secretly cursed, but said in an innocent tone, "Okay, thank you, uncle."
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and ran towards the place where Morachao and Qingqi separated with him.
When he was halfway through, Chiyo Rei realized that he hadn't caught the land eel yet.
However, since those fools have already set up camp on the beach, it is impossible to go back.
Chiyo Rei couldn't help but slow down and reconsider where else to catch land eels, but soon he discovered that when he was not catching fish, the arrival of the fools meant that he and Qingqi's whereabouts could easily be exposed. .
In the game, it is the Joker, the commander-in-chief of the Fools, who personally invites the wandering Qi Qi to join him. This means that the Fools must have grasped the movements of the Qi Qi.
Now that the camp of the Fools appears on the seaside not far from where they live, it may be a signal. The Fools have almost figured out the general location of Qingqi and are looking for him nearby...
Chiyo Rei was suddenly glad to meet the fools today.
Following this train of thought, he suddenly realized that he could no longer stay in Tatasha. He and Qingqi had to go to Mingshen Island quickly to avoid running into the Fools.
Silently thinking about how to mention the early departure to Qinqi, Chiyo Rei returned to the big rock, where he should be.
Because he was so absorbed in his thoughts, he didn't notice that the Qingqi was right in front of him.
"pity!"
There was a cry of panic.
Chiyo Rei raised his head and happened to see the panicked face of Qinqi Zhe. His purple eyes were full of anxiety, mixed with sadness and sorrow, as if he had been abandoned.
At this time, Chiyo Rei finally reacted belatedly. He only wanted to give Qinqi a surprise, and never thought about what would happen if the other party couldn't find him.
"I'm sorry." Chiyo Rei immediately bowed his head and apologized.
Qingqi Zhe didn't respond to this apology. He frowned. In fact, he couldn't bear to blame Chiyo Rei for running away secretly. He was just afraid and didn't know what he had done wrong.
They clearly made a promise to become family, but they left him aside again.
That feeling was so uncomfortable that he didn't want to experience it again.
Qingqi suppressed his negative emotions. He lowered his eyes and tried to cover his heart. Just when he was about to speak back to Chiyo Rei, Chiyo Rei spoke first.
"I want to catch land eels as a surprise for you."
"What?" The Qingqi stood still.
Chiyorei took a deep breath and revealed his plan, "I saw you eating a lot of eel meat at the banquet yesterday. I thought you liked it, so... I wanted to go to the shallows before you stopped running away. Catch some.”
My initial thought was that it was true. Who would have thought that when I ran over there, I would find a crowd of fools over there.
Chiyo Rei was struggling, not knowing how to tell Qinqi what he had just experienced.
But he didn't have the chance to tell it anymore. The next second, Chiyo Rei was held in a warm embrace.
The admirer hugged Chiyo Rei tightly, and the sourness escaped from his empty chest to his limbs. He felt that his hands were shaking, and the panic of being abandoned again was replaced by inexplicable feelings. .
As Rei Chiyo said it was indeed a surprise.
"Thank you, but I don't like eel meat." Qingqi said softly, "I just want to have a taste. If you like it, I can make it for you in the future."
He didn't want to tell the child that there was no need to go out of his way to talk about such a trivial matter.
But that was all in the past, and now he wanted to say what he had done and thought.
This not only does not want to cause Chiyo Rei to misunderstand, but also expresses his feelings.
He cares about the child's feelings, and the child cares about him, and that's enough.
Chiyo Rei was embarrassed by Qingqi Zhe's confession. He hugged the other person carefully and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's the food you cook, I like to eat it."
"Really? That's great." After saying that, Qingqi smiled and he felt very happy.
During the embrace, the admirer once again feels the heartbeat of another person, which prompts him to become calm.
I don't know how long it took, but he slowly let go of Chiyo Rei and said to him seriously, "Rei can rely on me more."
Chiyo Rei blinked, "I have always relied on Qingqi Zhe." Without him, he would not be able to survive long ago.
Therefore, in his understanding, he has always relied on Qingqi's care.
However, the admirer smiled and shook his head, "No, rather than relying on me for pity, I need pity more."
Chiyo Rei was silent for half a second after hearing this. He understood that the dependence mentioned by Qinqi not only refers to life, but also to deeper emotions.
If Chiyo Rei was a real child, he could do it easily, but unfortunately he is not, and if you think about it carefully, in his relationship with Qinqi Zhi, he has always made the decision.
Gradually figuring everything out, Chiyo Rei made an almost solemn promise, "I will do it."
"Well, I believe in Lian." Qingqi said with a smile.
Chiyo Rei couldn't help but smile.
The two looked at each other for a while, then Qinqi stood up and took Chiyo Rei's hand again, "Let's go home."
This time Chiyo Rei didn't speak but held his hand tightly and responded with actions.
The Qingqi felt the strength coming from his hand and had the thought of not wanting to let go. Ever since he was taken out of the resettlement house, he had been searching for the meaning of his existence, hoping to get rid of the powerlessness of being abandoned.
This child has everything he needs.
In comparison, those daily cares are completely worthless in the eyes of those who admire them.
After clarifying his thoughts, Qinqi found that he could no longer accept this child leaving him in any form.
Before, he could choose to let Chiyo Rei leave his side because he wanted him to have a better life, but now he cannot accept it no matter what the reason is.
Qinqi knew that such behavior was very selfish, but he did not restrain himself.
Now that they have made an agreement, this child belongs to his family, and he will not allow anyone to take him away.
If anyone wants to do this, then that guy is his enemy.
No matter what the cost, he would bring this child back.
The Qingqi felt the emotion called determination. At this moment, he even felt that his empty heart was booming.
