Chapter 126 Your Father’s Name
The rain keeps falling.
It was not until dawn the next day that it finally stopped.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know what Xiao Qirong was doing all night. The pots and pans clanged from time to time, and the noise didn't stop until the second half of the night.
The sky cleared up after the rain.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt that she was older and stronger.
She used to be able to only look forward, but now she seems to be able to roll her eyes.
Xiao Qirong came to water her again: "The book says that rainwater is rootless water, the best nutrient for nourishing all things. I collected a lot and stored a lot, so that when I water you, your plants won't wilt anymore."
[So it was for me...]
Bai Xiaoxiao shook the leaves.
[Look at this thoughtful and well-behaved little boy, he's worthy of being my dearest son. Come on, son, give your dad some more water.]
father……?
Xiao Qirong couldn't help but pause while watering. He had been an orphan and had never seen his father or mother. He didn't know what they looked like, but at least he was sure it wasn't a 'tree' species. And from the sound, the elf in the sapling was a girl. How could it be his father...
Is it the name?
The name of the sapling is 'ni, die'
Qi Rong thought the name was not very nice. She pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said, "Drink more water so you can grow up quickly. Miaomiao."
[Miaomiao? Who? You named a strong and powerful man like your dad Miaomiao? It really is... quite nice.]
Bai Xiaoxiao felt the small shovel used to loosen the soil poke her roots, and she inexplicably felt that the child in front of her was a little resentful.
"Pray for mercy, pray for mercy."
A white-haired old doctor walked into the courtyard carrying a medicine basket.
Qi Rong's eyes lit up when he saw him: "Grandpa!"
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look over when he called out to her.
He had a white beard and his hair was all gray and curled into a bun that didn't block his eyes. He looked kind and strong, but perhaps because of his age, his back was slightly bent.
"Grandpa, look, the sapling is alive!"
Qi Rong carried Grandpa Qi to the sapling.
The emerald green leaves were full of life and energy. Grandpa Qi stroked his beard and smiled, rubbing Qi Rong's head. "It seems you took good care of it. You managed to save the sapling that was about to wither."
[Wither? That's hilarious! A man can't wither! ]
Bai Xiaoxiao pulled herself up to become more energetic.
Qi Rong glanced at the sapling with a complicated expression, then dragged Grandpa Qi back inside. The simple thatched cottage wasn't shabby at all, but rather cozy. It had wooden tables, wooden chairs, a wooden bed, and a few elegant, small, lavender flowers dotted across the wooden countertops.
"Qi Rong, you..."
Grandpa Qi looked at the pots, pans, and bowls filled with water scattered all over the floor, and looked at Qi Rong in surprise.
Qi Rong lowered his head and seemed a little nervous: "I brought this water to feed Miaomiao."
"Miaomiao?"
Grandpa Qi then realized that he was talking about the saplings in the yard.
Qi Rong glanced at the lush green sapling outside the window and waved to Grandpa Qi. Grandpa Qi lowered his head slightly. Qi Rong then stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Grandpa, I'll tell you a secret. There's a little elf living in that little tree, and she can talk to me."
"Oh? Really?"
Grandpa Qi's eyes flashed with a complicated look after hearing this, but when he looked at Qi Rong again, he returned to normal. He touched the little guy's head and said, "That's great. When Grandpa goes out to see patients and you're home alone, you'll have someone to accompany you."
"Um!"
Qi Rong was very happy.
"But even if it's water prepared for Miaomiao, you can't leave it everywhere. You need to clean it up with Grandpa."
"good!"
Bai Xiaoxiao faced the wind and imagined her flying hair and the cigarette between her fingertips. When she felt like it, she pursed her lips and took a puff of the smoke. After a heavy breath, she whispered, "I had no choice before, but now, I just want to be a good tree."
[Wakakakakakaka, please don't call me "Sapling" anymore. After I smoke this cigarette today, I'm going to be like Chow Yun-fat, the fish-killing knife! From now on, I'm going to hold my head high and tell everyone.]
【I am also a gangster! 】
Qi Rong made the bed and looked at the shaking green leaves and the nervous saplings in the yard, with even more worry in his eyes.
Could it be that he watered the tree canopy too much?
…
Bai Xiaoxiao discovered that the advantage of being a tree was that she didn't have to think about anything. She would sleep when she was full and eat when she woke up. When she was full and had nothing to do, she would lazily enjoy the sunshine. Occasionally, when a gust of wind blew, she would start to think about the philosophy of life - as deep as an idiot, and when she couldn't figure out anything, she would laugh "hahahaha".
The green leaves were shaking so much that passers-by thought there was going to be an earthquake several times.
But Bai Xiaoxiao was not only concerned with her own "philosophy of life", she also paid close attention to the life of little Qirong. The people in this village had a good relationship with Qirong. Grandpa Qi was the only doctor in the village, and he would always leave home from time to time to go somewhere to treat a family.
Sometimes I leave in the morning and come back in the evening.
Sometimes, you may not see him again until you are away for three or five days.
At such times, Xiao Qirong was always alone at home, but the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood would take special care of him, bringing him food and drinks, and even giving him some cloth to make new clothes for him.
Bai Xiaoxiao could see that those people had no ill intentions, even the children who came to play with him took extra care of this sick brother.
Little Qirong himself is also very likable. He is gentle and kind to everyone, and the smile on his face is very bright, which is completely different from the ambiguous and unpredictable smile he had as an adult.
But he doesn't seem to like going out to play.
I just like reading, sorting herbs, and...watering her.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt the water on her head and swayed back and forth in enjoyment. She found that as the "tree" grew stronger, the things she could see, hear and sense were constantly expanding. She used to be able to only explore the small area under the mud, but now she could know the entire courtyard, including the thatched house, clearly.
For example, last night a child got up to go to the toilet and hit his head.
Hehehehe~
Qi Rong's ears suddenly turned red when she listened to the messy sounds of the saplings, especially when they mentioned the embarrassing incident last night, and she couldn't help but increase the force of watering.
[How dare you, wicked son, to disgrace your father's beautiful hair? Be careful, I won't leave you an inch of that vast territory, and you won't even find your place in the grave.]
Qi Rong looked at the sapling that was becoming more and more arrogant, and simply poured all the remaining water onto her crown.
"Qi Rong!"
More children came to play with him.
Qi Rong picked up the ball thrown at his feet and handed it back to the older child: "You guys go play, I won't go."
"Do you still want to take care of your saplings?"
The older child took the ball and glanced sideways at the sapling.
