The cabin was very quiet.
Tiantian was still the same as last time, sitting on the worn cartoon floor mat and playing with building blocks. Sometimes, he would pick up some small dolls and play the game of left hand hitting right hand.
Lin Mo walked over and greeted Tiantian.
"day by day!"
"Uncle, you're here again." Tiantian was obviously very happy: "Uncle, do you want to play the monster-killing game?"
While speaking, he handed over the little doll in his hand.
"Okay, uncle will play with you for a while."
Lin Mo also sat on the edge of the cartoon mat and took the small doll that Tiantian handed over.
To be honest, Lin Mo was quite reluctant to play games with Tiantian. The last time they played the guessing picture game, Lin Mo was in a mess, so this time, Lin Mo had to ask for clarification.
"Tiantian, uncle wants to ask you, if you lose, will there be any punishment?" Lin Mo asked casually.
"No, there's no punishment for this." Tiantian looked puzzled: "Uncle wants to play with punishment?"
"No, I don't want to play!" Lin Mo waved his hands quickly. He almost killed himself just now.
At this time, Lin Mo looked carefully at the little doll in his hand.
It was a doll that looked like a toy soldier, and it was a little damaged because it had been played with for a long time.
"Tiantian, does this doll have a name?" Lin Mo asked.
"Yes, yours is a monster, and the one I'm holding is the security captain, the most powerful one." Tiantian held a doll in his hand and explained to Lin Mo the rules of the game of fighting monsters.
Simply put, monsters invaded the town and the security captain defeated the monsters.
It's so simple and childish that it's outrageous.
After listening to Tiantian, Lin Mo played with the little guy for a while according to Tiantian's request. Of course, in the end, it was the monster on Lin Mo's side that was defeated, and the winner was still the security captain in Tiantian's hands.
Lin Mo put down the little doll in his hand at this time.
"Tiantian, let's play this game later. Uncle wants to talk to you."
There was a fierce fight outside, and Lin Mo was playing games with the kids here. How could he take it to heart? After all, there were two of them outside, and neither of them could afford to make any mistakes.
The balance that has been maintained in the Second-Hand Alley for so long cannot be broken today.
Tiantian is indeed well-behaved and sensible.
"Uncle, what do you want to say?" He also put down the doll and looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo thought for a while and said, "Uncle has met your father before."
"Really?" Tiantian immediately jumped up excitedly and ran to Lin Mo, his eyes shining: "When will Dad come back? I've been waiting for him for a long time, but he just doesn't come back. I kind of hate him."
Lin Mo could clearly feel that Tiantian's emotions were fluctuating greatly.
As a result, the entire second-hand goods alley was shaken.
Obviously, these words just now touched Tiantian's sensitive nerves and caused a change in his mental strength.
This is not a good thing.
What is needed now is balance. Only when Tiantian's mood is normal can his mental strength maintain the existence of the Second-Hand Alley. Otherwise, the Second-Hand Alley will soon collapse.
But at this point, the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. No matter what Lin Mo says, he has to go on with it.
"Do you hate your father?" Lin Mo simply asked this question clearly.
"Well, he is always busy, busy making money." Tiantian pouted and said, "Dad said that he hopes he can make 1,000 yuan a day, so that he can come back to be with me immediately."
1000?
Lin Mo now understood a little bit why the price to escape the curse of the Junk Alley Cage was 1,000.
It turns out that the root cause is here.
So to speak, this cage is actually a fantasy that is imposed on him every day.
Because if he had 1,000 yuan, his father would come back.
Then, he can be free, because his father will come and take him out to play.
What a poor child.
Lin Mo had seen many poor children, even those who had suffered many misfortunes, but none of them was like Tiantian.
The greatest pain for this little child is actually loneliness and endless waiting.
This may be the reason why Tiantian’s mental strength is so strong.
Tiantian was obviously in emotional fluctuations at the moment, so Lin Mo had to calm him down and continue according to his plan.
"Then, why does Dad want to make money?" Lin Mo decided to take the initiative to guide.
This time he came to see Tiantian on his own initiative, intending to stabilize Tiantian's emotions.
Lin Mo knew very well that no matter adults or children, they must have a goal to persevere, or in other words, they must have an expectation and a dream.
Without this, that person loses hope, and collapse is inevitable sooner or later.
On the contrary, if one has hope and dreams, and even eventually upgrades them to faith, this person, at least on the spiritual level, is indestructible.
Lin Mo came to see Tiantian just to give Tiantian hope.
I believe that only in this way can I persist in going there every day and the Second-Hand Alley will not collapse.
The question of why his father needs to make money left Xiao Tiantian at a loss for words.
Lin Mo smiled in his heart, thinking that children are easy to fool.
"Tiantian, do you need money to buy the toys you play with, the food you eat, and the clothes you wear?" Lin Mo began his performance.
Nod every day.
Agreed with Lin Mo's idea.
That is, fun toys and delicious food all require money.
"Then Dad makes money so that you can live a good life every day. So, do you think Dad works hard?"
Tiantian thought about it and nodded: "It's hard work."
"Why is it so hard?"
"Dad gets up very early every day and comes home very late."
"What else?"
"When we eat, my father will give me all the delicious shrimp and fish... He said he doesn't like them, but I feel that my father also likes shrimp."
"Yes, Dad goes out early and comes back late, actually all for you. He wants you to live a good life in the future, wants you to eat well and dress well, wants you to go to a good school, and learn whatever you like. This is why he wants to make money. Your dad loves you very much, do you understand?"
"Yeah, I understand. I, I love dad too. I love dad the most."
Lin Mo felt that it was about right.
Because Tiantian’s previous hostility had disappeared, which meant that he had been appeased.
The mood has also recovered a lot, as can be seen from the second-hand goods alley which is no longer shaking.
Things outside can't be delayed any longer. Lin Mo doesn't know who will win or lose between his father and the coffin carrier, because it won't be good for either of them, so he must hurry up.
"Tiantian, uncle is leaving, but uncle can see your father. Your father misses you too. Do you have a gift for him?"
Lin Mo asked.
This is his main purpose this time.
The only person who can calm the coffin bearer down is Tiantian, but he cannot let him see Tiantian, so Lin Mo can only settle for the next best thing.
Let Tiantian give his father a gift.
This gift has telekinetic power and it cannot be faked. Once the coffin bearer sees it, he will be deeply moved.
Only in this way can he, who has been swallowed by malice, regain consciousness.
"There is a gift. I have prepared it a long time ago." Tiantian picked up a painting from the table over there at this time: "This is a gift for my father. I drew a big house. My father said that when he has money, he will let me live in a big house. He asked me what kind of house I like, so I drew it."
Lin Mo took the painting, squatted down and touched Tiantian’s furry head.
"Tiantian, that uncle is gone. I'll come and play with you another day."
"Well, goodbye uncle!"
Tiantian was in a good mood at the moment. He jumped back and picked up the paintbrush to paint again. When Lin Mo went out, he took a look and saw that the painting on the paper was colorful.
The third watch is here.
