The scattered soldiers didn't want to say anything, and Jiang Bai had nothing to do.
The two of them chatted for a while, but then stopped. Changci brought over the prepared meals and sat aside cautiously.
Jiang Bai put out the bowls and chopsticks and called to the soldiers, "Eat whatever you want, you're welcome."
The soldier moved his chopsticks meaningfully, but since it was the kid who did it, he didn't comment.
He looked at the child who was eating cautiously and asked, "Where are you from? Why are you following him?"
"I'm from Feimu Village. Brother Jiang Bai promised to take me away from here..." I don't know why, Changci was a little afraid of this brother.
Maybe he looked at him too coldly. In short, Changji felt that this was not an easy person to get along with.
"His father disappeared and his mother went to Xumi. This island is too dangerous, so I took him away from here." Jiang Bai explained.
The skirmisher's eyes fluctuated a little, and he looked at Changji, "Has your mother abandoned you?"
"No! Mom went to Xumi for medical treatment! And it's dangerous for mom to stay in the village!"
Changci looked at him stubbornly, very dissatisfied with his words.
The skirmisher looked at him with pity, "How naive. If she didn't abandon you, why didn't she take you with her?"
"Mom will not abandon me! I will find my mother!"
Changji picked up the bowl and walked to the corner to sit down, not wanting to talk to this nasty guy.
Jiang Bai was a little speechless. This guy, Xingbing, usually speaks in an irritating way, but why does he do this to children?
Can you say this to a child?
Jiang Bai directly picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his bowl, "Eat well!"
The skirmishers rolled their eyes at him and ate in silence.
After eating for a while, he still couldn't help it and looked at the child in the corner.
"I said, if, if your mother abandoned you, what would you do?"
Jiang Bai looked at him doubtfully, "I said you, can't you get over this topic?"
If you are so obsessed with the word "abandon", could it be that you have been abandoned before?
The skirmisher didn't speak, just waiting for Changci's reaction.
Maybe today really brought back too many memories for him, and the kid in front of him without parental care reminded him of his past self, so that he couldn't help but want to hear how the kid would answer.
Seeing the straggler's attitude of not giving up until he got an answer, he thought about it seriously for a long time and said:
"Then I will go find my mother and ask her why she abandoned me."
"What's the point of getting an answer? It doesn't change the fact that I was abandoned."
Changji asked him seriously, "But what if it's a misunderstanding? Do I have to hate my mother for unknown reasons all my life?"
Regarding this answer, the soldiers were silent for a long time. Just when Jiang Bai thought he would not ask again, he heard him ask again:
"What if you get the answer and it's not a misunderstanding?"
"Then I will live well alone."
Looking at the stragglers who were obsessed with this topic, relying on Jiang Bai's presence, he deliberately asked a question:
"Brother, have you ever been abandoned?"
The skirmisher gave him a cold look, and for many times he shrank his head and ate silently.
Jiang Bai glanced at the straggler who had been stabbed in the foot. It seemed that this guy had indeed been abandoned and had not run away.
But who was the one who abandoned him?
Is it his maker?
And why abandon him?
Jiang Bai blocked his view of Changci, "Don't bully children! What's the point of a five hundred-year-old man bullying a child?"
The skirmishers looked at him expressionlessly.
Just looking at this kid a few times, why is he bullying a child?
If you are afraid because of this, it would be too useless.
After eating, Chang Ci packed up his things and got into the sleeping bag given to him by Jiang Bai. He was too tired during the day. As soon as he put his head on the pillow, sleepiness hit him uncontrollably. Chang Ci fell into a deep sleep after a while. past.
Jiang Bai yawned and looked at the stragglers who had not yet left. "I'm going to rest. Do you want to rest here?"
The skirmisher sat in front of the still-burning stove, "I'll leave as soon as my clothes are dry."
"If it doesn't stop raining at night, you can just rest here. If you want to leave, remember to close the door for me." Jiang Bai yawned and got into the sleeping bag.
He wasn't worried that skirmishers would attack him while he was sleeping. If he had this plan, he wouldn't have to wait until today.
The skirmisher glanced at Jiang Bai, who had closed his eyes and was defenseless. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
It didn't matter that I didn't know his true identity last time at Wangshu Inn. I already knew his identity, but I was still so defenseless against him.
He was a little happy to be treated like this, but at the same time he hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"Are you so defenseless against me? What if I receive a mission and want to attack you?"
Jiang Bai said simply and directly: "I believe you."
The skirmishers were stunned and turned away.
He felt that he did not deserve such a friend, nor did he deserve such trust.
He picked up his dry clothes, put them on and pushed the door open.
"Hey, it's still raining outside? Just leave?"
Jiang Bai got up from his sleeping bag and looked out through the window.
There was darkness outside the window, and the skirmisher who had walked a certain distance gradually merged with the darkness. He walked in the rain, and the wind and rain wet his clothes again.
Jiang Bai: "?"
Is there something wrong with him?
What's the point of drying it?
After all, he is five hundred years old. How can he be worse than twelve years old?
"What a bear..."
What kind of rebellious teenager in adolescence is more like a naughty boy!
Keli is more sensible than him and knows how to take care of her body.
Even if the doll can't catch a cold, it can't be treated so badly!
Jiang Bai grabbed the coir raincoat hanging next to him and threw it out of the window. The coir raincoat hit the straggler's head and staggered him.
When he looked back, Jiang Bai's cursing words came out:
"Why are you five hundred years old and still as willful as a child? You don't know how to hold an umbrella and wear a raincoat when you go out when it rains! That bamboo hat of yours can block a lot of rain! It's really annoying to watch!"
He has taken care of Qiqi, Keli and Changci, but no matter which child he has, they are more sensible than this five-hundred-year-old child.
He's so stinky that it's really irritating to look at.
The cold rain fell on his body, and the chill spread from his clothes to his whole body. Looking at the irritable Jiang Bai, he wanted to say something bad as usual, saying that he didn't need such a thing.
But looking at the warm firelight coming from the window, he said nothing, silently picked up the raincoat and put it on his body, turned around and left.
The rain kept falling and the thunder roared.
He walked to the top of the mountain again and looked around into darkness, unable to see anything.
The raincoat and bamboo hat blocked out all the rain, and only the splashing water wet his feet.
In the distance is Tatar sand, and closer is a matchbox that is emitting light and could not be simpler.
He curled up and buried his head in his knees.
