Hearing this, Zhang Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly jumped off the bench and shouted back: "Mom, I'm here."
He answered quickly without any hesitation.
He was afraid that answering late might trigger the rule of disobedience to his mother's words.
Not long after he finished answering, his mother walked in. Seeing Zhang Fan sitting quietly on the small bench, a smile appeared on her face and she said, "Are you feeling better now? Do you still have heat stroke?"
"Much better, Mom, thank you for the sour plum soup you made me."
Zhang Fan said with a smile.
He said this very seriously, making it sound extremely comfortable.
"That's good. I came back early because I was too worried about you." Mother wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Fan. She was sincerely happy.
Seeing his mother like this, Zhang Fan's heart moved slightly, and inexplicable thoughts arose, which made him think of his biological mother.
His parents died when he was very young, and it can be said that he has no memory of their appearance at all.
If his mother were still alive in the world, perhaps she would be as full of kindness and care as the mother in front of her.
wrong.
It seems that I heard from Wishing Lake before that his parents did not seem to be dead. It was said that as long as he helped Wishing Lake find a specific host spirit, he could make a wish and learn the whereabouts of his parents.
Wishing Lake is a parasitic spirit with living consciousness and follows certain instinctive rules. He cannot panic. In other words, what he says is very likely to be true.
His parents are not dead, but still alive.
But where will they be in this world if they are alive?
Why haven't you come back to see yourself after all these years?
Let yourself live a lonely life?
"Little Dog Dan, what are you thinking about?" Mother asked in surprise when she saw Zhang Fan's melancholy expression and confusion in his eyes.
"I miss my mother." Zhang Fan sighed and said with a complicated expression.
"Miss you mom?"
"Stupid boy, am I not here?" The mother stepped forward and touched Zhang Fan's head, her expression full of love.
"Okay, since you don't feel uncomfortable anymore, come out for a while. I picked some apricots from outside to satisfy your craving." Mother led Zhang Fan out of the bedroom and came to the living room.
She rummaged through the bamboo basket and poured out some yellow apricots from a sack.
"Here! Taste it and see if it's sour." His mother handed Zhang Fan an apricot and asked him to taste it.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan suddenly felt a hint of bitterness in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment before reaching out to take the apricots and put them in his mouth.
This time, the warning from the host spirit still did not appear.
Obviously, this apricot is not poisonous.
"It's very sweet." Zhang Fan said after eating the apricot, giving a thumbs up.
"Is it sweet? That's fine. If you like it, I'll give it to you." Mother gave Zhang Fan a handful of apricots and asked him to eat them slowly.
"Okay, thank you, Mom!" Zhang Fan smiled.
"You eat first, I'll sew clothes." Mother gave the apricots to Zhang Fan, and she sat down on a stool nearby and began to thread and mend clothes.
Her hands are very skillful and she can mend clothes without hesitation.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Fan felt mixed emotions in his heart and felt an indescribable discomfort.
It would be nice if my parents were still around, so I wouldn't have to work so hard and could have someone to rely on.
When I was young, my childhood would not be so difficult.
Zhang Fan sat on the chair with a depressed expression, eating apricots numbly while watching his mother mending clothes in front of him.
He just watched quietly without saying anything.
To be honest, he missed his parents.
I really want to.
I really want to meet them.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Fan suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the secondary bedroom.
Because, at this time, he suddenly couldn't hear the intertwined voices of men and women in the neighbor's house next door.
It was as if the two of them had separated from each other and were no longer entangled.
What kind of monster is that?
It would be so weird.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan glanced sideways at his mother and saw that she was still mending clothes with a smile on her face.
Strangely enough, ever since her mother returned home, she had been deaf to the sounds next door, as if she hadn't heard them at all.
This is very weird and weird.
Maybe she heard it all the time, but just didn't take it seriously.
Or maybe, she didn't hear it and only she could notice it.
To be honest, Zhang Fan always felt that this Black Vortex Village was full of weirdness, as if there were a pair of invisible eyes watching him in the darkness.
Zhang Fan was silent for a while, wanting to ask his mother about the neighbor next door.
If some things are not clarified, Zhang Fan will always feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Because the man and woman next door are really weird.
Just when Zhang Fan was about to speak, suddenly a child's shout came from outside the gate.
The shouting seemed to be calling his name.
Of course, calling his name here is not his real name of Zhang Fan.
It was the name of the owner of this body that his soul had passed through, Little Dog Dan.
Hearing the cry of the child, the mother who was mending clothes suddenly raised her head, looked at Zhang Fan, and said, "Little dog Dan, Tiezhu came to play with you."
"Iron pillar?"
Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had no idea who this Tiezhu was, after all, he was not a real little puppy.
"Mom, I don't want to go anywhere. I want to stay at home with you." Zhang Fan looked at his mother and said tentatively.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, my mother's brows wrinkled slightly, as if she was a little surprised.
"You usually get very excited when Tie Zhu calls you to go out to play. What happened today? You didn't react at all?"
"Isn't this a bit unlike you?"
The mother put the clothes in her hands on her knees, looked at Zhang Fan with a strange look and asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought something was wrong.
It seems that the real Little Dog Dan must be naughty and mischievous. As his mother, she must know his temper and character very well. But now I am not Little Dog Dan myself. If he behaves well-behaved and cute, his mother might notice it. There are clues. If we guess his true identity again, we will be in trouble.
Although Zhang Fan has a body spirit close to him and is not afraid of his mother's threat, if his identity is exposed in advance due to such a thing, he may live a very passive life in the following time.
That would go against Zhang Fan's inner thoughts.
His idea is to live as long as he can, and if he can't live anymore, it won't be too late to break up.
"Mom, didn't I have a heat stroke? I'm a little tired now and don't want to go out to play." Zhang Fan's mind was racing and he explained hurriedly.
No matter what, let’s make up a random lie first to fool him.
"Oh... that's true." Mother thought thoughtfully, but before she could say anything, Zhang Fan shouted happily: "But I'm fine now. Now let’s go and play with Tiezhu.”
After saying this, Zhang Fan jumped out of the living room.
I also do a full set of acting. Since I have become a puppy now, I should try my best to be naughty and mischievous.
Maybe the more naughty he is, the more his mother will trust him, so his identity will not be exposed.
"You little bitch, run slower, go play outside for a while and come back early before it's too late."
Seeing that Zhang Fan was back to being lively, his mother's frown softened slightly, and she couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile on her face.
She thought something was wrong with Little Dog Dan, but she was really shocked when she just said she didn't want to go out with Tie Zhu.
The two children, Little Dog Dan and Tie Zhu, are very naughty. On weekdays, they are inseparable good friends and go together wherever they go.
As long as Tiezhu calls out Xiaodandan's name, whether he is eating or sleeping, he will always run out immediately without being able to stop him.
My mother has long been accustomed to this.
As a child, it’s normal to be naughty when you’re playing.
