Chapter 213 Little Bean
"This... child! How can it be a child?!"
Qinglu felt that she was having trouble speaking. She had imagined various outcomes, but she had never thought that she would catch a child.
How could there be a child in Huguo Temple?
In the moonlight, the child's dark and shiny eyes could be vaguely seen, but his face was dirty, with a mess of hair on his head that looked like weeds, not to mention his body.
On a winter night, the small body was wearing only a tattered single piece of clothing.
Perhaps frightened, the child was shaking violently, with a defensive attitude all over his body.
Lie Yi wanted to go forward and pick the person up, but the little kid immediately looked threatened, and he put his hands on the ground, bared his teeth at Lie Yi with a ferocious look, and let out a vague growl from his throat.
Si Linglong's heart skipped a beat.
He felt that the child's reaction was very familiar, and his eyes turned to Xue Sha, who was tilting his head with a curious look on his face.
What came to my mind was the "Wolf Boy" I saw on TV before.
【No way? ? 】
Because Si Linglong said before that this "murderer" could identify people by smell, and was worried that Helian Yue or Huoshan's people would be discovered by it and dare not approach, Helian Yue brought people to wait nearby, and when he heard the noise, he brought people over.
However, when he saw the child huddled in the corner, he was obviously startled, frowned and said in a low voice,
"Where is this child from?"
Huo Shan was even more confused.
He doesn’t know this either.
The monks in Huguo Temple never mentioned that there were children in the temple.
Because the net that Si Linglong had originally prepared was specifically for catching foxes, and it was a somewhat violent method after all, but it was obviously not usable against this child now.
Fortunately, when Xueshan just rushed out, she saw that something was wrong and stopped him quickly, otherwise there would have been blood.
"Your Majesty, this child is quite frightened. Can you please ask them to leave first?"
Si Linglong asked.
Helian Yue looked at the people in the yard, then at the child who was obviously frightened but still acting ferociously. He was silent for a moment and waved his hand behind him.
Huo Shan immediately led his men to retreat, but Helian Yue showed no intention of leaving.
Si Linglong thought about it, asked Lie Yi to step aside, and went forward herself.
Helian Yue was about to stop her when he saw this, but then he heard her thinking,
【It’s time to show my expertise again. 】
Helian Yue: ...
So her expertise includes more than just performing autopsies on small animals?
Si Linglong motioned for everyone to move back a little, then squatted down, trying to keep her eyes level with the child, and said in a gentle and soothing voice,
"Don't be afraid, we don't want to hurt you, we just want to ask you some questions."
The little kid looked at her with his bright black eyes but didn't say anything.
Helian Yue stood aside, and although he did not stop Si Linglong's actions, his phoenix eyes stared coldly at the child.
Even though he was just a child, if he had the slightest intention of hurting someone, he would do it.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Si Linglong asked softly.
The little kid still didn't respond and just stared at her, but obviously he didn't growl in a threatening way as before.
Si Linglong thought for a moment and asked again, "You came here to look for me, right?"
She pointed to the dead chicken that was thrown in front of the house and said, "Is that one for me?"
Helian Yue saw that the child remained silent and thought that if she continued to lie outside on such a cold night, she would probably be cold tomorrow, so he thought it would be better to lock her up first and then slowly interrogate her.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the child who had been shrinking his body actually nodded slowly towards Si Linglong.
Everyone was stunned.
This child really understands what people say.
Si Linglong smiled slightly, took a step closer to him, and asked softly, "Why are you sending me a dead chicken? Are you punishing me?"
The child didn't respond, so Si Linglong changed her statement.
"Is it a gift for me?"
The little bean still did not respond. His bright eyes turned to look at Xue Sha beside him, and then looked at her.
Si Linglong looked at Douding, then at Xuesha.
Suddenly she thought of what happened in the back hill that day. After a long silence, she came up with an answer that she was not very sure about.
"You sent me a chicken. Do you want me to roast it?"
Seeing that the child still didn't respond, Si Linglong paused and changed her words, "...for you to eat."
Then, the little kid's big eyes lit up, and he looked at her with a serious expression and nodded vigorously.
Si Linglong: ...
Well, this person actually brought his own food to ask for food...
