Ping An Restaurant.
The open space outside the restaurant door was full of people, all of whom were attracted by the fact that the proprietress left the town with a strange man today, leaving He Yi behind.
However, in the face of everyone's pointing fingers and the attitude of not taking it too seriously to watch the excitement, the three people who stayed in Ping'an Restaurant, Biao Auntie, Presbyopia, and Lame Man, did not panic at all. They just calmly told them that the restaurant was not open today.
Then they sat down at a table at the end of the restaurant or took a nap, or were busy with other things, leaving the group of people standing outside noisily and talking about each other.
"Do you think that the abandoned child will not be able to think about things for a while, and then stage a drama of running away from home? Then he will wander around in the world and gain experience everywhere!" The lame man shook his presbyopia, which was leaning against the counter and taking a nap, and said.
The presbyopic man opened his eyes drowsily and said sleepily, "I don't think so. With his three-legged cat skills, there is no way he can travel in the world. Just walking to the county seat ten miles away is enough for him."
"That's not even possible. I've heard that those geniuses who are astonishing all have some insights after experiencing huge ups and downs in their moods, and then burst out with huge energy to do things that they couldn't usually do."
"Stop daydreaming. Don't you think the boss lady has no backup in this town? There's no way she would put He Yiqi in danger!"
Aunt Biao came over carrying a pot of fragrant tea and sat at the table.
"We have been here for so many years. No matter how ruthless a person is, it is impossible to say that he has never softened his heart. Since she is cruel to keep him here, there is no way she will leave any hidden dangers."
The lame man and the presbyopic man looked at each other for a moment and both raised their eyebrows. Listening to the meaning of what Aunt Biao just said, the abandoned child is really inextricably linked with the landlady. So...
"Don't make any blind guesses here. Just wait here peacefully for the abandoned child to come home, and for the boss lady to come home." Aunt Biao said in a deep voice, while pouring herself a cup of tea that looked extremely precious. .
"I'm just worried about the abandoned child that he really can't think about it and can't get out of this knot. If the boss's wife leaves when he's still not sensible, that's fine. If he coaxes him for two days, he might forget about it. Now that he's already sensible, When the time comes, it's okay for the boss's wife to leave. If you can reason with him and explain it carefully, you can move on.
But the boss's wife happened to leave at this time. Tell me, what direction should this make the abandoned child think?
Even I could see some clues. The abandoned child had already guessed that the boss's wife was his mother, or he had determined that the boss's wife was his mother.
Facing his own mother, he didn't say a word, left without any explanation, and left without leaving even a single word or a day to come back. What do you want him to think?
She has never let him call her mother! "The presbyopic man said with a trembling voice.
Even he, a bystander, felt that it was too pitiful to abandon this child.
Having been together day and night for more than ten years, even strangers should have emotional bonds, not to mention that there is actually a hidden connection between the two that blood is thicker than water.
Despite this, the landlady still chose to leave.
"What is the boss lady doing this time?" The lame man put away his usual playful smile and asked seriously.
The presbyopic man first squinted his eyes and scanned the noisy crowd outside the restaurant, and then said in a low voice, "I don't know, but since even Lord Zi showed up this time, it must be no small matter. To be honest, The mission I received this time is still to stay here and protect the abandoned children."
The cripple nodded slowly when he heard this and said, "My mission is the same as yours, which is to protect abandoned children."
The two of them turned their attention to Aunt Biao.
"Pig-killer, why are you still hiding from us? Among the three of us, you were the first to join the organization, and you can be considered our senior. Now that the boss lady and Master Zi have left, you can give a little Let's reveal a little secret!" The lame man said haha.
In fact, all three of them belong to an extremely powerful and mysterious killer organization. This killer organization specializes in taking in desperadoes who have to hide their identities and live in hiding for various reasons, and organizes and trains them to be able to complete a project. The top killer in assassination missions.
Almost no outsiders know how powerful this organization is. They only know that those who can find channels and pay a high price to hire them to assassinate are extremely satisfied with their services, and as long as they are on their assassination list, , there is only a dead end.
The three of them can be regarded as the cleanest people in this organization.
A long time ago, the three of them entered this organization for their own reasons.
After going through a series of test trainings, the three of them successively ushered in their first mission, which was to come to this small town to protect a woman.
This woman is the boss's wife.
And this task lasted ten years.
“To be honest, although I came here before you, I may not know much more than you.
The abandoned child is indeed the boss's wife's child. When I came here, she may have just given birth to the abandoned child, and her body was still weak. Perhaps it was because the landlady had an accident when she was pregnant with the abandoned child, and the abandoned child's body has been very weak since the birth.
However, during this period, people from organizations have been sending various rare medicinal materials to help the proprietress and the abandoned child recuperate.
In addition, I accidentally overheard a conversation between the boss's wife and people from those organizations, and the people from those organizations mentioned the word "Huo family" repeatedly. "Aunt Biao paused, her eyes swept over the noisy crowd outside the restaurant, and then suddenly her pupils shrank and she coughed slightly.
The presbyopic and lame people on the side trembled slightly.
"The boss lady really has some back-ups in the town..." Presbyopia murmured softly, looking at several slightly dark places on the street, where there was a very slight aura of warriors.
Looking at the crowds on the street, Lan Yu and Wei Laohu, guarding He Yiqi on the left and right, slowly walked towards the restaurant.
The somewhat dejected He Yiqi didn't say or do anything after returning to the restaurant. He just went back upstairs to his room and fell asleep with his head covered.
This sleep lasted a whole day.
Neither the presbyopic man nor the cripple said anything, they just silently put up a sign outside the restaurant saying it was temporarily closed.
Aunt Biao worriedly ran to the kitchen to make a pot of old hen soup, filled a large bowl and placed it in front of the door of He Yi's house.
However, when she went to see it again the next morning, the bowl of soup was still untouched and the door was still tightly closed.
"Abandoned child, come out and have something to eat!" Aunt Biao patted the door gently and shouted.
But all she got in response was silence.
After a while, Aunt Biao finally picked up the bowl of chicken soup on the floor, and then went downstairs step by step.
In the hall, the lame man and the presbyopic man were standing at the stairs, looking at Aunt Biao.
"How's it going? Is the child willing to come out?" The cripple asked worriedly.
Aunt Biao shook her head a little lonely, and headed towards the backyard with chicken soup.
At this time, a person walked in from outside the restaurant.
The presbyopic man and the lame man heard the sound and looked around. It turned out that the old hunter Wei was coming.
Old Orion Wei was carrying a sack, which was bulging as if it contained something.
Old Orion Wei smiled and said, "I happened to pick up a silly rabbit when I went up the mountain today. I thought my family was not short of food, so I just brought it to you!"
Presbyopia said sincerely, "You... don't get rewarded for your merits, you can't do that!"
Old Orion Wei laughed and said, "I'm not giving this to you. This is for your family. Why throw it away? I have promised him a long time ago that I will bring him a rabbit back to play with. No, today I just happened to come across such a stupid rabbit, so I brought it to him."
Old Orion Wei put the sack on the ground, then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'm here to give you a rabbit. Remember to give this rabbit to the abandoned child. I'll go back to drink first!" "
After saying that, Orion Wei grabbed the two ears of the rabbit, took it out of the sack and placed it on the ground.
This is a treasure hunting rabbit, but it is about the size of a palm, so it is considered a relatively rare rabbit.
Its two little ears are drooped on the side of its little head, and its furry appearance makes people want to go up and touch it.
As for the origin of its name, it has to mention its living habits.
It usually only appears in mountain forests with abundant spiritual energy. It often comes out to look for food at night and hides in its nest to sleep during the day.
The reason why this kind of rabbit is rare is that it has a rather peculiar ability, that is, it will always approach places with abundant spiritual energy involuntarily, and even when eating, it will eat herbs that contain more spiritual energy.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that many warriors would like to tame a treasure-hunting rabbit and keep it by their side, wandering around on weekdays to see if they can find some precious herbs for themselves.
But generally speaking, this treasure-hunting rabbit will only find some low-grade herbs. Perhaps this is because it itself is extremely weak. Although it belongs to the category of exotic beasts, apart from being able to hunt for treasures, the treasure-hunting rabbit is no different from ordinary rabbits. It’s different.
After putting down the rabbit, Old Orion Wei turned around and walked out the door, carrying the empty sack.
The lame man came over and picked up the rabbit that was tied up on the ground. After looking it up and down, he couldn't help but sigh, "The abandoned children in our family are really popular. If this treasure-hunting rabbit is sold in the county, at least It’s worth a wild boar. It’s such a big gift, and Mr. Wei is really willing to give it away!”
Presbyopia sighed, looked up at the empty stairs, and said, "The abandoned child must be able to come down and accept this gift. In his current state..."
"Ahem, let me see what Grandpa Wei has given me!"
A familiar figure suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs, it was He Yi.
I saw He Yiqi at this time. Although his face was still a little pale because he had not eaten for nearly a day and a night, his eyes still showed some expression.
He Yiqi slowly walked down the stairs and walked towards the lame man.
The lame man smiled and held the rabbit in his hand. When He Yiqi walked up to him, he handed it over.
He Yiqi hugged the little rabbit curiously. The gray-brown fur felt extremely comfortable, and the soft flesh of the little rabbit radiated warmth, making He Yiqi couldn't help but squeeze it.
When the rabbit was pinched by him, its flesh immediately tightened, as if it wanted to break free immediately and escape from his clutches.
However, it was unable to break free from the shackles of the hemp rope as it was tied up with five flowers. He could only let He Yiqi raise and lower his hands on it, stroking it wantonly.
He Yi abandoned and touched the rabbit more and more, and finally put the rabbit directly on the table, and sat on the edge to ravage it wantonly.
"Hey, you finally came out! Haha!"
Lan Yu, who was holding four or five books, hurried in from outside and looked at He Yiqi with a look of joy.
He Yiqi stopped teasing the rabbit and stood up to greet Lan Yu, "Mr. Lan Yu is worried."
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on her face became brighter and she said, "Why are there so many etiquettes now? There is no need to be so particular between you and me."
After saying that, Lan Yu put the book on the table and pulled He Yiqi to sit down.
At this time, Aunt Biao walked in with a basin of hot water.
"It makes Mr. Lan Yu laugh. Our abandoned child is not feeling well. He just got up now and he hasn't washed up yet!"
Aunt Biao put down the wooden basin and started to wash her face.
Lan Yu smiled gently and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll prepare a lesson first so that I can teach him later."
Lan Yu's words were also half true and half false. He was going to give He Yi Qi a lesson today. He had prepared it the night before yesterday. However, because of what happened to He Yi Qi yesterday, he didn't give him a complete lesson. .
And before he came today, he had already prepared why he would not go out today.
However, He Yiqi's state today was beyond Lan Yu's expectation. Apart from his face being a little pale, He Yiqi looked the same as usual.
Lan Yu looked at the rabbit on the table and asked curiously, "This rabbit is...a treasure hunt rabbit?!"
The lame man walked over with a cup of tea, put it next to Lan Yu, and said with a smile, "This treasure-hunting rabbit was just sent by Orion Wei, the old man. He said it was for our family, so why give it up?" Gift."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Old Orion Wei is not only generous, but he also attaches such importance and expectation to the younger generation. He is really a kind man!" Lan Yu couldn't help but admired.
He had also heard that a hunter had caught a treasure rabbit in the mountains behind the town, and then sold it to the county town and made a lot of money.
But today was the first time that he saw this real treasure rabbit with his own eyes. This made him immediately interested, and he couldn't help but touch the treasure rabbit's hair carefully.
The soft and comfortable touch made Lan Yu unable to stop touching it.
Presbyopia also laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Old Orion Wei is very fond of our family's He Yiqi, and he will bring some novel gadgets to us every now and then."
Through the common chat topic of why to give up, the three of them started chatting and laughing.
After a while, He Yiqi finished washing up.
It was already afternoon, and the three people with presbyopia had already had lunch.
He Yiqi took the fragrant noodles that Aunt Biao had just cooked and came to the edge of the table. He blew on them twice and after they cooled down a little, he ate them with big mouthfuls.
He Yiqi's devouring look made Mrs. Biao and others feel distressed and angry.
I feel sorry for him because he hasn't eaten for the past few meals. He must be so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back.
They were angry because this child really didn't care about his body, which made them unbearably worried just looking at him.
Seeing He Yi's attitude of giving up, Aunt Biao knew that this bowl of noodles must not be enough for him, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to get him another bowl of noodles.
As expected, He Yiqi was not full after a bowl of noodles and drank all the noodle soup.
On the side, Lan Yu was holding the treasure-hunting rabbit, gently stroking the treasure-hunting rabbit's hair while flipping through the books she had brought.
After a while, Aunt Biao brought another bowl of steaming noodles.
A large piece of fragrant beef is covered on top of the white noodles, and the black meat sauce is poured around it. Dots of green scallions decorate the bowl of noodles.
At this time, the lame man and the presbyopic man beside him couldn't sit still, and they all stared eagerly at the bowl of noodles in front of He Yiqi.
Although they had all had lunch, they still couldn't resist the fact that this bowl was so delicious that they couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Ms. Biao, why is this bowl of noodles from Xiang'er so fragrant? The noodles you cooked for us this morning didn't taste like this!" the lame man complained.
Presbyopia was even more direct. He immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen, brought an empty bowl over, and said to He Yiqi, "Hey, abandoned child, this bowl is so much, you probably won't be able to finish it. Come on, come on, let me help." Share some of it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to finish it later, and it will be a waste!”
However, before He Yiqi could say anything, Aunt Biao stepped forward fiercely, snatched the empty bowl and chopsticks from Presbyopia's hand, and walked towards the kitchen in the backyard.
"You old guy is here to steal the children's food, right? Why don't you show some respect? You are already such an adult, but you are disrespectful. Moreover, you both have already had lunch, and you still want to eat? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Think of yourself as a pig, right? It’s so delicious that you’re too lazy to cook it! If you want to eat, cook it yourself!”
Aunt Biao didn't spare any dignity for the lame man and the presbyopic man, and she made both of them blush and dare not take a breath.
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the lame man and the presbyopic man, He Yiqi burst out laughing. However, after seeing Aunt Biao walking out of the door, he took the opportunity to hold the bowl, pinched a handful of noodles, and handed it to the presbyopic man.
"Hurry up and eat. Madam Biao will definitely scold you again when she sees her later!" He Yi said with a smile.
Presbyopia suddenly felt relieved, "You are still considerate of an abandoned child!"
After saying that, Presbyopia did not hesitate and ate the handful of noodles He Yiqi picked up in one gulp.
After eating, he didn't forget to chirp, and said vaguely to the lame man, "This noodle is really delicious, but it's a pity that some people can't eat it."
Hearing this, the lame man immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Huh, little... I don't believe that an abandoned child will be left to you alone if you succeed. When I was a kid, I took him out to play a lot! Look at you, old man." Guy, he didn’t do anything. He just knew how to eat, eat, eat…”
Before the cripple could finish speaking, He Yiqi picked up a handful of steaming noodles and stuffed them into his mouth.
"You two, please stop fighting. You've been bickering every day for so many years." He Yiqi held up the bowl of noodles that was missing more than half of his own, and his mouth was full of oil just looking at it. The two of them couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "If it is my turn to feed you two, I will have to cure your temper. Today, I will give the lame man more delicious food, and tomorrow I will give the presbyopic man more food. Feed me a little. Let you two have a good fight!"
