The forest in the early morning is quiet and beautiful.
The peaceful territory of the Treemen was still shrouded in a thin layer of mist.
"Brothers~~~ Your little cutie Lingling is here~~~"
Lingling's baby voice was full of energy, waking up several little tree people who were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep for a long time after knowing Lingling had returned last night.
The lively Alphonse was the first to react. Without hesitation, he pulled up the roots and ran towards the direction where his sister's voice came from.
"younger sister!"
His crown was shaking and swaying constantly. Anyone could see that he was awakened by his sister's baby voice and was not in the least bit grumpy about waking up. Instead, he was in a very good mood.
The two little ones met at the door, and Alphonse hugged the little one and held him close.
"Sister, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"
The morning mist wet the little girl's hair a little, and Lingling was still a little wet when she rushed in with her hair standing on end. But Alphonse didn't care at all. He hugged his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time and clung to her tightly.
Lingling's delicate skin was a little itchy from her brother's leaves, so she giggled and tried to push her clingy brother away a little bit.
"Ge Ge, it's itchy~"
result.
Alphonse didn't hear, too lost in joy.
Seeing this, the brothers who caught up behind grabbed a branch and dragged Alphonse away.
Alphonse felt his body moving and looked around in confusion, only to find himself being lifted up by his brothers.
The third child, Ailann, looked at him with a smile and said, "Are you thinking of doing more homework and drinking less spiritual fluid again?"
Alphonse froze, his stiff body carried by his brothers and placed in a corner.
Lingling covered her mouth with her hands and giggled, walking with her short legs following her brothers.
Seeing his sister looking like she was enjoying the show, the eldest brother, George, said helplessly but lovingly, "Sister, if Alphonse feels uncomfortable holding you, you should speak up. You can't just let him do whatever he wants every time."
Lingling nodded her little head, and the flesh on her cheeks trembled twice, which made Alec, the fourth child who had just put Alphonse down, couldn't help but stretch out a tender branch and pinch it gently.
Lingling was startled. She looked at her usually gentle fourth brother, rubbed her face with her little hands, and asked, "Fourth brother, is there something on Lingling's face? Lingling hasn't had breakfast yet!"
Alec coughed lightly, retracted the branch, and explained softly, "It's nothing, it's just that Lingling is too cute."
Upon hearing this, Lingling pounced on Alec like a cute tiger pouncing on its prey, wrapping her arms around Alec's tree trunk with her lotus-like arms.
"Hey, Lingling, let Fourth Brother touch me. It won't hurt, Lingling."
Alec looked at his sister in his arms tenderly and hugged her tightly, but did not continue his previous actions. Instead, he began to tidy up Lingling's messy hair.
He used to often comb his sister's hair beautifully, and when he saw his sister's hair was messy after she just woke up, he couldn't help but do it.
He held Lingling's shoulders and asked her to turn around and sit on a small bench.
First, she helped Lingling tie her long hair into a high ponytail at the back of her head, and tied it with the hair tie handed to her by Ailann. Then she gently divided the ponytail into three strands, and fixed the two thin strands of hair on both sides with a coil, and fixed the remaining small bunch of hair in the middle in the middle of the bow.
After combing her hair, Alec looked at it carefully from behind, but was not satisfied enough. He then inserted a small goose yellow flower on the back of Lingling's head, and then stopped with satisfaction.
While Alec was combing Lingling's hair, the other brothers were not idle either.
The little guy has been happily enjoying the services of his brothers.
The eldest brother George cast a cleansing spell on her, the second brother Eddie brought her a small cup of spiritual liquid and the breadfruit that Lingling had loved since childhood to feed her, and the third brother Alan held a small pink handkerchief, ready to wipe the corners of Lingling's mouth at any time.
Alphonse, the fifth brother? Sorry, I was squeezed in the outer circle by the other brothers and couldn't get close.
"Ahhh! Brothers, please move aside. I want to play with Lingling too!"
Hearing this, George turned to look at Alphonse, his eyes full of doubt: "Can you promise not to be so clumsy?"
"I promise!"
Alphonse tapped the treetops suddenly, and a few leaves were shaken down and fell into Lingling's little palm.
Lingling gently held the small leaf and turned to Alec to thank him in a baby voice: "Thank you, Fourth Brother~"
Then he reached out his little hand and tugged at George's branch in front of him, pleading for Alphonse, "Big Brother, Lingling's okay. Fifth Brother just missed Lingling so much that he didn't pay attention for a moment."
Alphonse immediately agreed, "That's right. I've calmed down now, so stop squeezing me!"
After saying that, he muttered softly, "How can a brother bully his younger brother?"
Alphonse’s brothers, who had originally intended not to embarrass him, said: Do you think I didn’t hear it?
Ailann smiled kindly, stretched out a branch and tapped Alphonse. "Alphonse, we all helped Lingling just now. Don't you think you should do something for your sister too?"
Alphonse saw that it was Alann who was talking to him, so he ran over to Lingling, took the soft and sticky little ball in his hand, and answered cautiously, "Yes, yes."
Ailann smiled even more happily and said gently, "Then go out and find Grandpa Blue and the others. Tell them that Lingling has woken up and wants to go out to play."
"Okay...Okay."
Alphonse agreed in a daze, looking at his well-behaved sister and then at his brothers.
"Am I going alone? Can't I bring my sister with me?"
Lingling also nodded her head. She didn't notice the strange atmosphere between her brothers.
Ailann shook the treetops, pointed outside and continued, "It's still foggy outside and a bit chilly. What if my sister gets sick if she goes out? You can go by yourself."
Alphonse felt that his third brother's words made some sense, so he reluctantly let go of his sister and walked towards the door, looking back every few steps.
"Then you take good care of my sister, I'll be back soon!"
Poor Alphonse was finally tricked by his brother and went to the territory alone to find the adults like a lonely little warrior.
George looked at Alan, and Alan looked back calmly.
George: "Are we going too far? Alphonse just wants to play with Lingling for a while."
Ailann waved the branch and smiled, "It's his fault for always being so careless. He hurt Lingling before, and I don't tolerate him. Besides, we need someone to call the grandparents anyway, and he loves to run, so let him run errands. Maybe grandma can even give him a glass of spiritual liquid. He was naughty the past two days and was deprived of spiritual liquid for two days."
George couldn't convince Alan, so he had to give up and muttered to himself: Alphonse is indeed a little naughty, not like a tree man, but more like a monkey.
He walked towards Lingling, picked up the little girl on the small stool and looked at her carefully. Suddenly, he looked at the others hesitantly: "Sister, have you gained weight?"
Lingling: Brother! Listen, are you talking about God?!
