When I came downstairs, I happened to see the eldest sister coming out of the kitchen with a big box and a coat in her other hand, as if she was going out.
"Is the eldest sister going out?" Qin Luo watched the eldest sister changing her shoes by the door. Naturally, he would not ask the eldest sister, because based on his understanding of the eldest sister, most likely the eldest sister would not answer him.
.So he waited for the child there. The child went to pour him water. When the child came back, he asked in a low voice.
"Well, the eldest sister is going to the orphanage." The child looked at the eldest sister who was about to go out, handed the water to Qin Luo, and then ran over to help the eldest sister open the door.
"Sister, be careful on the road and come back soon." The child said to the eldest sister obediently.
"I see, you should be careful at home alone, you know?" the eldest sister said softly, touching the child's head.
"I understand, why don't you worry about me being at home? Go early and come back early." The child nodded, reached out and brushed the hair that was messed up by the elder sister and muttered.
After hearing the little boy's words, the eldest sister did not answer. She just turned her head and glanced at Qin Luo. Qin Luo was so stunned by her look that he turned around and took a sip of water.
After the eldest sister left, the child closed the door and came back, asking with concern: "Is Brother Luo still feeling uncomfortable in his throat?"
"I'm fine." Qin Luo smiled and shook his head and then asked: "You said the eldest sister is going to the orphanage?"
"Yes." The child nodded and said.
"Why did eldest sister go to the orphanage?" Qin Luo was puzzled.
"Because Brother Chuan and the others didn't come back for dinner, but we cooked their food. Now there are only three of us left and we can't finish the meal, so the eldest sister took it to the orphanage to feed the children. Those children really like to grow up.
My sister cooked the food." The little boy looked a little excited when he talked about the children in the orphanage.
"She often feeds it to them?" Qin Luo was stunned when he heard this and asked.
"I don't go there very often. I only go when Brother Chuan and the others don't come back. Brother Chuan and the others sometimes don't come back to eat, but the food is ready and it would be a pity to throw it away, so the eldest sister brings them all
We're going to the orphanage." The child explained and took off his apron.
"That's right." Qin Luo nodded, sat down on the sofa on one side, and gently turned the cup in his hand.
Why didn't Brother Chuan and the others suddenly come back? And the eldest sister also went out. Is this a coincidence? Or was it premeditated?
Qin Luo lowered his head and looked at the shadow on the ground in front of him. It belonged to a child and looked a bit slender.
Now only I and Xiaotong are left. If possible, this is a good opportunity, but,,, before this, I have always thought that Xiaotong is an innocent and simple child. Here, he is the least to be wary of. But
Just now, my view of children has changed somewhat.
The little boy was outside her door just now. He said that the eldest sister asked him to come up and tell her that Brother Chuan and the others were not coming back. But with the eldest sister's indifferent attitude towards her, would she specifically ask the little boy to come and tell her?
It's unlikely. That means that when the kid comes to find him, he doesn't simply want to tell him that Brother Chuan won't come back. It's possible that the kid is secretly eavesdropping on him outside under the guise of telling him about it. If he
I didn't notice it right away and called Brother Hao directly, and maybe he overheard me. Later, I discovered it, and then I pretended to be scared when I just arrived.
If this was really the case, I seemed to have been confused by the innocent appearance of a child before.
Brother Chuan and the others are not coming back, and the eldest sister has gone out now, or they are using their trust in the child to make themselves relax their vigilance and make themselves think that there is no danger, thus letting me expose myself.
This possibility is very high, but it is also my own guess, and I have to verify it before I know it, and for verification, I naturally have to find the child in front of me.
"Brother Chuan, don't they come back often?" Qin Luo raised his head and asked pretending to be curious.
"It's not very often. It's only occasionally that I'm delayed by something, so I don't come back." The child stood aside and answered calmly.
"Why don't they tell you beforehand if they don't come back? This way you and the eldest sister don't have to go to so much trouble to prepare their meals, and it also saves the eldest sister from having to go back and forth to the orphanage with the meals every time." Qin Luo.
He asked again, and what Xiaotong said just now was delayed. This can be checked after Huang Hao comes back.
"They are not sure when they will come back. Every time we wait for them to call back at last minute, we are almost done. My eldest sister and I both like to cook, so we don't find it troublesome. We are ready every time
Food, when Brother Chuan and the others come back, they will all have hot meals to eat, and they will be very happy. I like to see them happy, and I like to see everyone having a lively meal together like a family. It feels very good.
It's like a complete family. If they don't come back to eat, they can be sent to an orphanage, or you can let them try the eldest sister's cooking. Every time she sees them happy, the eldest sister will smile happily."
The kid said with a sincere face.
Is that so? Qin Luo said in his heart.
At this time, the child continued: "When I go home and have hot meals to eat every day, I can forget about being tired outside. It's like my soul feels warm and not empty anymore. I'm very happy, so I would rather make it."
It doesn’t matter if you waste money.”
Qin Luo was stunned by the child's words. Did this sound like what a teenager would say? Or before understanding the eldest sister, one must first understand this seemingly innocent child.
"By the way, why did Xiaotong follow Brother Chuan? Where is your family?" Qin Luo asked curiously.
"Well, it's a long story." When the child heard Qin Luo suddenly ask, he was obviously stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head slightly, and then said with a smile.
"Sit down and talk to me." Qin Luo patted the place next to him and said to the child. Of course Qin Luo saw the panic that flashed in the child's eyes just now, but he didn't know what he was panicking about.
Are you panicking about suddenly asking about his past? Or are you panicking about his own past?
The child raised his head and looked at Qin Luo, hesitating for a while before obediently sitting down next to Qin Luo.
"Actually, I didn't follow Brother Chuan at first, but my uncle. But uncle is Brother Chuan's subordinate, so I followed Brother Chuan." Xiaotong thought for a moment and then said to Qin Luo.
"Following A Gu?" Qin Luo asked.
"Well, I met the uncle first, and then I met Brother Chuan." Xiaotong Diandian said, "I had just escaped at that time, and the uncle saved me, so I followed him."
"I lived with my father before. My father loved gambling and drinking. After drinking, he would beat people. My mother was beaten away by him." The child's hands were held together involuntarily.
, with a slight tremor in his tone, when he said this, the child suddenly raised his head and said to Qin Luo with a smile: "This is true. The father who can gamble, drink, and beat people is real. It's not like in novels.
oh."
When the child said this, there was a smile on his face, but Qin Luo saw that his always clear eyes were covered with a layer of sadness, and there was a faint flash of water, and Qin Luo couldn't bear to look at it.
I can't help but feel a little distressed.
"Yes." Qin Luo responded softly, without saying anything else, but his gentle tone contained confirmation, letting the child know that he indeed believed it and listened carefully.
