"Wow!" Xiao Changle couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he saw the lifelike dog carving.
Young Ghost Blade stopped what he was doing, put the carving knife to the other side of his body, and played with the stone dog in his hand. Little Chang Le lay next to him and watched clearly.
It's a small dog with lop ears, a nose, and eyes.
It's just that the stone itself isn't entirely suitable for carving, so some places will crack uncontrollably after the knife is cut. There are a few scars on the body, and one under the eye looks like a tear stain.
"Is the little puppy unhappy?" Xiao Changle asked the older boy softly, tilting her head as she saw the tear stains on the stone puppy.
Ghost Blade didn't respond, but reached out and placed the puppy in the corner of the room.
Xiao Changle peeked over and found that a row of stone carvings had already been placed in the corner.
Most of the items were small animals, along with flowers, plants, and trees, arranged in a row against the lower part of the wall, like a small exhibition.
Xiao Changle really wanted to pick it up and play with it, but Sanmei would get angry if she took other people's things, so she had to ask her.
"Big brother, can I touch that little rabbit?" Xiao Changle pointed to the lop-eared rabbit in the front row.
The rabbit's two big ears are lively and dynamic, and its pair of big front teeth are both funny and cute.
Xiao Changle remembered her father saying that Sanmei really liked rabbits, and she wanted to learn how to carve little rabbits so she could give them to Shen Sanmei.
Ghost Blade remained silent, head bowed, as he continued to sharpen his carving knife.
He disagreed with Xiao Changle's reluctance to take it, and sat dejectedly on the ground playing with the flowers on his clothes.
"clatter."
Pale, thin fingers appeared before my eyes, then spread open, revealing a funny yet adorable lop-eared rabbit.
Xiao Changle looked up in surprise, but saw that Gui Dao was still not looking at her. However, she knew that it was the older brother who had given it to her!
"Thank you, brother!" Xiao Changle happily picked up the rabbit, her voice unconsciously becoming even sweeter.
Just as he was having a great time, a tall, dark shadow was cast over the railing behind him.
"Huh?" Xiao Changle turned her head in confusion, looked up, and then her smile disappeared.
"De, de de, de..." I still rode the horse because I was nervous.
With disheveled hair, Shen Sanmei stood outside the railing, expressionless and cold, looking at the little rascals playing happily at his feet as if they were dead.
Xiao Changle skillfully hid the little rabbit behind his back, stood up, lowered his head, and his happy voice turned humble in an instant: "Brother, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."
Shen Sanmei ignored her repeated explanations and focused his gaze directly on the ghost knife sharpening in the room.
Ghost Blade seemed oblivious, quietly sharpening his knife with a hissing sound.
"Send her out," Shen Sanmei said.
Ghost Blade didn't make a move.
Xiao Changle secretly turned his head to look at this person and looked up at that person.
Shen Sanmei frowned slightly. At this moment, Jiu Fanggui walked over.
Jiu Fanggui strode forward, and wherever he went, all the creatures in the rooms on both sides retreated to the inside of the rooms, not daring to make a sound.
Shen Sanmei made way for Jiu Fanggui, who turned around and stared at him, asking, "How did you get in?"
Little Chang Le nibbled on her paw: "I don't know~"
"You, you, you come out first." Jiu Fanggui was angry but dared not say anything too harsh. He reached out and unlocked the metal cage in the room, and the door opened.
Xiao Changle turned and waved to Gui Dao: "Goodbye, little brother... Sigh!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was scooped up and tucked under someone's arm, her voice trailing off in a sharp, distorted way.
Xiao Changle was taken away by Shen Sanmei like a rag doll. Jiu Fanggui watched from behind and finally only instructed, "Sanmei, don't hit the child too hard!"
After the two left, Jiu Fang Guicai's smile faded, and he looked at the people in the room. Gui Dao was still immersed in his own world.
On the ground between the two of them, there was still the little rabbit that Xiao Changle had touched.
Jiu Fanggui sighed and reached out his hand to him: "You still remember my voice, right? Since you've taken action, come with me to check on him and see if his condition has improved."
Over there, Shen Sanmei strode across the rocks, causing Xiao Changle's dangling arms and legs to swing wildly, making her dizzy but also very amusing. Xiao Changle couldn't help but giggle.
Hearing her laughter, Shen Sanmei suddenly stopped, put her on the ground, pushed her forward, and turned to leave.
Xiao Chang Le steadied himself by holding onto the stone, then turned around and saw that Chen Sanmei had walked away. He immediately became anxious and scrambled to catch up with him, crying out, "Brother, don't go! Brother, wait for me! Brother!"
Shen Sanmei hadn't gone far when he sat down under a tree, burying his face in his arms. A torrent of emotions surged within him—anger, resentment, anxiety—which eventually turned into lingering fear and self-reproach. But he couldn't speak of it; there was no one to talk to. He was suffering terribly from his own turmoil.
Xiao Changle noticed that he was unhappy, so she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. She hesitated, fidgeting with her little hands and feet, wanting to go over but not daring to.
"Brother, I'm sorry, please don't be sad, okay?"
The warm little bundle nestled against me, its tiny paws, which had touched the stone, leaving cool imprints on my arm.
The voice sounded soft and melancholic, and Chen Sanmei's heart trembled, but he still didn't look up.
"Brother, I'm giving you my treats, please don't ignore me..." Xiao Changle gently shook his arm.
Shen Sanmei raised his head slightly, his eyes peering through the gaps in his hair and arms, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What?"
Xiao Changle suddenly pulled his other hand out from behind his back and exclaimed, "Ta-da! Look!"
It was a large, plump peach, pinkish-white and translucent, with an enticingly red tip. The peach, held in Xiao Changle's hand, was almost as big as her face, making her look somewhat comical.
Xiao Changle had a bit of trouble holding it with one hand, so she hugged it with both hands and rubbed it against him:
