Chapter 58

The little white deer didn’t understand the little wolf’s question—after all, the pronunciations were the same, so after hearing his question, he taught him earnestly.

“It is as white as snow on the mountain, and as bright as the moon between the clouds.”

Little Langze followed him and recited it two or three times before finally stumbling over and reciting the poem correctly.

He looked at the little white deer with eyes that could no longer conceal his admiration, “Wow, you’re amazing! Su Su only recited it once, and you can recite it!”

Hearing this, the little white deer couldn’t help but feel a little shy.

This was the second time that Little Langze had praised him. The first time was when he reminded him that he could give himself another name, and he praised him for being smart.

Although Little Langze might have just said it casually, he remembered it.

Moreover, when Xiao Langze praised him, his green eyes would stare at him, his eyebrows curved, and his smile made people feel that he was particularly sincere.

So Xiao Langze was really praising him!

Xiao Bailu felt very happy, and at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, was it because he was so happy when he praised Xiao Langze, that he felt that he was not so annoying?

He thought for a moment and said, "I only taught you two or three times, and you already know how to do it. You are amazing."

Little Langze couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the keeper and couldn't wait to say, "Su Su, what does this word mean? Tell us quickly, I really want to know!"

While the two of them were talking, Su Ci had already written down the poem on a piece of paper.

For two children who had not received systematic education, it was quite difficult to learn poetry at the beginning, but it was not bad to enlighten them.

Su Ci circled the word "皎" in the poem.

"Jiao means white and bright." Then he mentioned the word "皚" in the previous text and continued: "皚 also means white and is often used to describe frost and snow."

"The author of these two lines of poetry is a very talented woman. She is proficient in music, especially good at playing the qin..."

Before Su Ci finished speaking, little Langze couldn't help asking: "What is playing the qin? Is it the same as playing the flute?"

When the child heard the word qin, he immediately thought of the flute.

Su Ci looked at the ignorant look of little Langze and couldn't help thinking that perhaps the wolf cub he least favored might really be talented in music.

He did not answer the child's question directly, but set a new rule, "Next time you ask a question, you have to raise your hand and ask my permission before you can ask a question."

Little Langze was very puzzled, "Why?"

Little White Deer, who had been in the welfare home for some time, was very familiar with this rule. He said, "Because it is more polite."

Little Langze couldn't help but look at him and listened to Little White Deer continue, "When the keeper is giving a lecture, if we suddenly speak, we will interrupt him."

"If someone keeps interrupting you when you are speaking, will you feel happy?"

Little Langze thought about it according to his words. If he was interrupted by others when he was speaking...

he would definitely be very unhappy!

With his temper, he might just fight with the other party!

Although the voice of the little white deer was immature, it must be said that he spoke very clearly and convinced the noisy wolf cub in an instant.

Moreover, Xiao Langze thought of one more thing - now the keeper gave them lessons and named them for free!

If the keeper was unhappy and stopped giving them lessons, wouldn't he be at a loss! And the names of the little white deer have not been chosen yet.

With the experience of apologizing to the little white deer before, Xiao Langze already knew that when he did something wrong, he should apologize first, regardless of anything else!

So he looked at the keeper and said, "I'm sorry, I will pay attention in the future, Su Su, don't be unhappy."

Then, the boy showed a flattering smile, and the big tail behind him also shook.

Su Ci was not so stingy. He reached out and placed his hand on the top of the wolf cub's head, rubbed his furry ears vigorously, and then nodded and said, "Well, pay attention next time."

Little Langze was a little dumbfounded when he didn't expect to be touched on the ear again. However, when he saw the keeper continue to teach, he dared to pout and slightly express his dissatisfaction, and then listened carefully.

"The guqin is indeed a musical instrument like the bamboo flute." Su Ci said, "But unlike the bamboo flute, the guqin makes sound by plucking the strings. The combination of the two can make the music richer."

Little Langze opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he remembered what the keeper had just said, and quickly covered his mouth, and then raised his hand.

Su Ci looked at him and nodded.

Little Langze then asked, "What does a zither look like? What are the strings? Why does plucking the strings make a sound? What does the sound of a zither sound like? Is it better than a flute?"

The youngsters have too few educational resources, and at their age, they are actually the most eager for knowledge.

So, once he encounters something that interests him, Little Langze's questions come one after another, as if he always has 100,000 whys.

"What does a zither look like? If there is a chance, I will let you see it later, and then you will know whether the sound of the strings is good or not." Su Ci said patiently.

"When is that later?" Little Langze asked.

Seeing the wolf cub was so eager to learn, Su Ci couldn't bear to disappoint him. He thought for a moment and said, "When you can play a complete song with the flute."

"Wow!"

Little Langze was instantly inspired. "Then we have a deal. I can learn it quickly. You must keep your word."

Su Ci said, "Of course."

Listening to their conversation, the little white deer realized belatedly that Little Langze didn't learn to play the flute from the keeper, did he?

At this time, Su Ci coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the topic that had gone too far.

He turned to a new page and wrote the word "皎" on it again.

"Yo Yo, this is your name."

The little white deer was suddenly called and was startled. He looked at the words on the paper and subconsciously said, "Only one word?"

Little Langze also looked at Su Ci, "Yes, why is there only one word?"

Su Ci: "..."

Only one word can be seen from the picture of the real name drawn by the little white deer, but... facing such two pairs of clear and bright eyes, he still picked up the pen and added another word in front of the word "Jiao".

"Lu Jiao." Su Ci read.

Looking at the two words on the white paper, the little white deer felt his heart tremble. He asked in a low voice: "Is the word in front... the deer in silver elk?"

"Yes." Su Ci nodded.

After getting a positive answer, the little white deer's eyes widened slightly. He stared at the two words, and his eyes were filled with a little bit of brilliance.

"Lu Jiao..." He read these two words in a low voice, as if he wanted to remember them firmly in his heart, and then he raised his head and smiled sweetly at Su Ci.

"I like this name, thank you."

The little boy thanked politely, looking more and more like an elegant and calm little deer. Even when he was happy, he maintained a graceful posture, unlike the little wolf cub who jumped all over the place.

Su Ci reached out and gently patted the little white deer on the top of his head.

And Xiao Langze beside him also recited along, "Lu Jiao... Hehe, it looks like your antlers!"

Deer antlers?

Xiao Lu Jiao blinked and saw the boy reached out and touched the tip of the antler on his forehead.

"Wow! It's furry and so cute!" Xiao Langze said with a smile.

Xiao Lu Jiao was a little unhappy when his antlers were suddenly touched, but when he heard Xiao Langze praising him for being cute, he couldn't help blushing.

"It's Jiao, which is as bright as the moon between the clouds." He tried hard to correct Xiao Langze.

Little Langze chuckled, "But I think deer antlers are cuter!"

Seeing that he was about to touch his antlers again, the little white deer dodged to the side helplessly and decided to ignore him.

Su Ci had already torn off the paper with the words "Lu Jiao" written on it, and gave him the picture of the real name drawn by the little white deer and the poem.

Little Lu Jiao took it with both hands, aligning the corners of the page with great care, and then he hesitated for a moment and said shyly, "Su Su, I also want the poem 'Yo Yo Deer Ming, Eat Wild Apples'... Can I?"

Su Ci, who was about to call it a day, looked at him and had to take out the pen again and write the first paragraph of "Xiao Ya·Lu Ming" in the Book of Songs on the white paper.

The little white deer looked at the words written by the keeper, and his eyes revealed a look of longing and envy.

In the future, he also wants to write beautiful words like the keeper! And these wonderful poems... It feels really interesting!

Although Xiao Langze also thinks that the poems read by the keeper are very interesting, his memory is not as good as that of the little white deer. He can remember them after listening to them once, and he is more interested in the flute than poems.

When the keeper tore off the paper and handed it to the little white deer, he couldn't help but urge: "Is it done? Is it done? Can we go find No. 3? He is still waiting for us, and he must be very anxious now!"

It is hard to say whether No. 3 will be anxious, but Xiao Langze can't wait to share his new name with him!

"It's almost done." The little white deer put the paper neatly into the drawer, and then carefully returned the jade button that the keeper had just given him.

Su Ci looked at the button and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

It was originally an ordinary button, and as long as it was not related to food, Su Ci was quite generous.

Then, he put away the paper and pen, and left Room 502 with the two children.

When coming out of the room, Xiaolu Jiao was still a little hesitant, "It's not the activity time now, can we really come out?"

Before Su Ci could say anything, Xiao Langze had already answered, "Of course! This is agreed by the keeper. Now in the brooding house, Su Su has the final say!"

Su Ci nodded in agreement. At least his authority is higher than that of the nanny robot.

However, Xiaolu Jiao was still a little uneasy.

Because he knew that the keepers who had just arrived at the brooding house had a probation period. If they had not passed the probation period for one day, they were not formal employees. The base could dismiss the keepers at any time.

Xiaolu Jiao didn't want the keeper to be fired. Although they had only known each other for two days, he already liked the new keeper and even had a little dependence on him. If the keeper was fired, he would be so upset!

"Oh, don't worry! It's not activity time now, but we're not going to the activity room to play!"

Although Xiaolangze's memory is not as good as Xiaobailu's, he has a unique talent for finding loopholes. "We went to room number three, and then stayed there and played with him!" During

activity time, they had to go to the activity room to play, so if they came out during non-activity time, as long as they didn't go to the activity room, it wouldn't be considered unruly!

Xiaolu Jiao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the truth!

He realized again that although Xiao Langze was stupid most of the time, he was sometimes very smart and could always think of things that he couldn't think of.

"Yeah!" Xiaolu Jiao nodded, "You're right!"

Xiao Langze grinned, pulled him into the elevator, and then urged the keeper who was walking slowly to hurry up. Finally, he couldn't wait any longer, so he came behind Su Ci and pushed him into the elevator.

"Hurry up! Number Three is still waiting for us!"

Xiaobai Lu watched him push the keeper in, then jumped up and pressed the elevator button. For some reason, he felt a little nervous.

This was his first time to play in the room of other cubs!

Number Three... Will he welcome him?

Thinking of No. 3's usual personality, Xiaolu Jiao became a little uncertain. He felt that No. 3 was not the type of person who liked to be lively...

"By the way!" Xiao Langze looked at Xiao Bailu, "The keeper said that you have to ask No. 3's consent before you can stay in his room to play. You have to ask him later. If he doesn't agree, you may not be able to play together."

Xiaolu Jiao nodded in understanding, and then couldn't help but become curious.

So, did No. 3 agree to Xiao Langze staying in his room and playing with him? With No. 3's personality... Did Xiao Langze use some means to make No. 3 agree?

Xiaolu Jiao fell into thought, and the elevator soon reached the fourth floor.

Xiao Langze pulled Su Ci, and Xiao Bailu fell behind. The three of them got out of the elevator together and prepared to go to No. 3's room.

It's just...

When passing by the rooms of No. 4 and No. 5, Xiao Langze paused.

He hadn't seen No. 5 out to play for two days. From the keeper, Xiao Langze also learned that No. 4 was still in the medical purification area because of serious injuries and had not returned yet.

In fact, he also thought it was very strange. This time, No. 2 and No. 4 didn't fight very fiercely. No. 2 has returned, so how could No. 4 still be injured?

If No. 2 could injure No. 4 so badly, he would not have never been the boss of the brood house.

Little Langze didn't quite understand, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he couldn't leave the nursery to visit No. 4 at the infirmary...

"Susu, can I go in and see No. 5?" He pulled the keeper's sleeve and asked.

Su Ci looked at him with his eyebrows lowered, "Why?"

"She hasn't come out to play, I want to see her." Little Langze answered subconsciously.

Standing behind Su Ci, Xiaolu Jiao couldn't help but show envy.

It's great, No. 5 not only has her brother's love, but also Little Langze cares about her, unlike him and No. 2 and No. 6... They are allies, but their relationship is not that good.

Now his relationship with Xiao Langze has become more harmonious—Xiao Langze not only gives him potato chips, but also teaches him to play the flute... If Xiao Langze doesn't bully him in the future, he won't fight or quarrel with him anymore.

However, this also means that his relationship with No. 2 and No. 6 may deteriorate.

Xiao Lu Jiao lowered his head slightly, with a look of uneasiness and anxiety about the future, and then... he felt a hand fall on his head.

He subconsciously raised his head.

The keeper was looking at him, with gentle eyes, calm and indifferent look, unexpectedly giving people a sense of trustworthy security.

The little white deer smiled slightly, revealing a small pear-shaped ridge.

No matter what, he will have a keeper by his side in the future, and he is no longer alone.

Seeing that the child's breathing had stabilized, Su Ci withdrew his hand. As for the little wolf cub, he had already rushed into the room of number four and number five the moment Su Ci helped him open the metal door.

"Number five, number five, I'm here to see you!"

The boy's voice was still so energetic, "Come and see what good things I can bring you!"

He jumped up and down, his eyes looked around the room, and finally landed on the small bed of number five. There was a bulge in the middle of the bed, and the little girl's flax-colored hair could be seen from the edge of the quilt.

Little Langze rushed over and grabbed the quilt like last time.

However, when he was about to pull the quilt away, he quickly stopped. The boy remembered the last experience. After he pulled the quilt away, number five cried very fiercely, which scared him to death.

Thinking of this, he carefully loosened the quilt again, then observed for a few times, and then poked his finger under the quilt, at the part that looked like his head.

"Number Five, are you crying again?"

The quilt squirmed and avoided the boy's hand.

Xiao Langze saw that Number Five didn't seem to want to come out, and the idea of ​​sharing his new name with her was gone in an instant.

The little wolf now has learned to think from the perspective of others.

Number Five is the one who sticks to Number Four the most. Number Four hasn't come back, and no one knows how badly she's injured. She must be very sad.

Just like he doesn't like being interrupted when he's talking, so when the keeper is talking, he asks to raise his hand obediently, when he's sad, he naturally doesn't like to see others happily wandering around in front of him.

So, since No.5 is hiding under the quilt and refuses to come out, he should not force her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Langze opened the pocket of his cub's clothes and took out a potato chip from it - the keeper had just given him three potato chips, one for Xiaolu Jiao, one for himself, and now there was one last chip.

"These are super delicious potato chips, smell them, they are super fragrant! Eat them quickly, and you won't be sad after you finish them."

Xiao Langze put the potato chips on the bedside, and seeing that No.5 still didn't lift the quilt to come out, he had to reach out and pat the little girl's head gently through the quilt like the keeper did.

"Then I'll go first! I'll see you tomorrow!"

After saying that, little Langze really turned around, jumped to the door, and said to the keeper who was looking at him: "Let's go, No. 5 is sleeping."

Su Ci glanced at the bulging quilt, nodded, and left No. 5's room with the two children.

When the metal door closed, No. 5's room was quiet again.

The motionless quilt on the bed finally began to shake, and finally, the little girl poked her head out from under the quilt with a pair of red and swollen eyes from crying.

No. 5, who originally loved beauty, now had messy hair and had never taken care of it. With two fur ears of the same color, he looked more and more like a chubby little lion.

She sniffed aggrievedly, glanced at the empty bed opposite, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

But soon, she lowered her head and noticed what the little wolf cub had just placed on her bedside.

She recalled what No. 8 had just said.

Potato chips... fragrant...

She stretched out her little hand, picked up the thin potato chip, put it under her nose and smelled it.

The fragrance she had never smelled before stimulated her taste buds through her sense of smell, causing her mouth to begin to secrete saliva, and the little girl couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

What No. 8 gave her... should be edible, right?

The little girl, whose eyes and nose were red from crying, hesitantly brought the potato chips to her mouth and gently took a small bite.

Then, she widened her eyes and couldn't help but take another bite.

Really... it's delicious!

The little girl, who originally had tears in her eyes, now had a happy smile on her face. Just like what the little wolf said, after eating the potato chips, she felt much better.

The little girl looked in the direction of the metal door, her two lion ears trembled slightly, and a puzzled look appeared on her face.

"Susu, when can No. 4 come back?" After coming to the corridor, the little wolf couldn't help asking.

He had already asked this question in the activity room this morning, and now he couldn't help asking it again.

"I'll ask Dr. Gu again."

"Then you have to remember it!"

As they talked, they opened the door of the next room. After walking in, Xiao Langze forgot everything else.

He waved the bamboo flute in his hand and said excitedly: "No. 3, I come to you to play the flute again!"

Then, he rushed to the corner of the room skillfully, dragged the little boy curled in the shadow out again, and said to him cheerfully: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Behind him, the little white deer watched his movements and couldn't help but feel a little timid.

Can he really drag No. 3 out like this? Wouldn't No. 3 be angry? Although No. 3 usually doesn't like to move, the little white deer can feel that No. 3's strength is not as weak as his appearance.

However, what he was worried about did not happen.

The little boy's face was very calm, so calm that he seemed a little numb. After the wolf cub handed him the bamboo flute, he put down the metal ball he had been holding and played with the flute with his two little hands, looking very focused.

The wolf cub had already started to share his joy with him, "No. 3, let me tell you, the keeper just gave me a new name."

"My name is Langze now! Isn't it super nice?" The wolf cub started talking nonstop.

He took out the two pieces of paper Su Ci had given him from his pocket, pointed at his name and said, "The keeper said that Lang is a beautiful stone like jade, and Ze... Ze... Ah, I forgot what this means! But it's not important!"

"No. 3, come and read it with me, Lang-Ze--"

The boy patiently taught him word by word, just like teaching a child to speak. After he said it several times, the little boy showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

Finally, he still cooperated and shouted softly, "Lang... Ze..."
