Xiaoyu spoke slowly, paying attention to the kerosene lamp in her hand: "Don't be afraid, sister, walk slowly."
Tian Xiaolan was comforted today. She was not so scared when she saw the light. She loved light. Although the shadow under her feet was shaking a little under the light, she was not afraid.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu." Tian Xiaolan took the kerosene lamp from her hand and tried to hold it level so as not to burn her hands.
Xiaoyu gave it to her and continued to watch her movements, so that she could help her if she didn't hold it firmly.
Tian Xiaolan noticed her and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
She must be tired from walking around with him during the day.
Unexpectedly, she shook her head and said, "I want to wait for grandpa."
"Do you usually wait until grandpa comes back before going to bed?"
"yes."
Tian Xiaolan said to her rationally: "You won't grow taller if you go to bed so late. Only when you go to bed early at night can we secrete growth hormones, so you have to go to bed early to grow taller. Protect grandpa, okay?"
Xiaoyu was stunned by what he said. She felt that it made a lot of sense. She saw that her grandfather was working hard in the fields to feed her, and his back was getting more and more bent. She wanted to smooth out his frown, but she couldn't.
She wanted to grow up quickly to protect her grandfather, so that he could have enough food and warm clothes, and not have to save food for her every time. Although she had no parents, she felt that she was also very happy, because she was not alone with her grandfather.
She doesn't care even if others laugh at her. She just wants to live a good life with her grandfather. Fang Ming, that annoying guy, always comes to trouble her. She is not as strong as him, so he always pulls her hair. When she grows taller, she will make him look bad.
Today, I saw that Sister Tian, who didn't have a very strong body, actually defeated Fang Ming. Her eyes were wide open, and it seemed that she was moving so fast that she could hardly see her movements clearly.
As Tian Xiaolan was walking, she found that Xiaoyu had not caught up with her. She turned around and found that she was still in a daze, so she went over to call her back to her senses.
Xiaoyu came back to her senses and looked at Tian Xiaolan with admiration in her eyes, "Sister Tian, can you teach me how to defeat Fang Ming?"
Tian Xiaolan said seriously: "I can teach you, but we don't learn this to defeat anyone! It's to protect ourselves and the people we need to protect, understand?"
"I understand. I will never bully others. I just want to protect Grandpa and myself and not let Grandpa worry."
Seeing that she was full of energy, Tian Xiaolan taught her some simple moves, such as a fatal blow when encountering danger, which could buy her time to escape.
Xiaoyu studied very seriously, staring at her movements without blinking, and humbly asked her for guidance, and started to talk more.
She knew clearly that this opportunity was hard to come by and might not come many times in a lifetime. She tried hard to engrave her movements in her mind and practiced with her hands, not putting them down even when they were sore.
Tian Xiaolan saw that she was too enthusiastic, so she asked her to stop. She said that such practice might hurt herself. She was still young and shouldn't be too anxious about anything.
Tian Xiaolan gave her a thumbs up: "Take your time, you learn very quickly!"
Being praised, Xiaoyu smiled, revealing her cute little fangs.
"Thank you, sister."
"It's okay. I'm glad you can protect yourself."
Tian Xiaolan held her hands and corrected some of her incorrect force movements, and asked her to stop after practicing a few times.
Tian Xiaolan poured her a bowl of cold water from the jar, and Xiaoyu drank it all in one gulp.
After the practice, the two sat on the edge of the bed, and Tian Xiaolan said to her: "Xiaoyu, are you sleepy now?"
Xiaoyu's eyelids were twitching, but she still said, "I'm not sleepy."
"No, you're sleepy. Did you forget what I said? It's time to go to bed. Your grandpa will be back soon."
After hearing what Sister Tian said, she felt a little tired and sweating. She felt that the shower she took in the afternoon was wasted. However, she had learned self-defense skills, so she was no longer afraid of Fang Ming and the others.
Tian Xiaolan was right next to her. Seeing that she was sweating all over, she wiped the sweat off her head and found a handkerchief to wipe her back.
"Do you want to go to the bathroom or not?"
"No."
"Go to sleep, I'll be waiting for your grandfather."
Xiaoyu closed her eyes.
The room was quiet, but there were some noises coming from outside. Tian Xiaolan waited until she fell asleep before going out.
After closing the door, she went out to see Zhu Zhi, asking questions along the way. Then Tian Xiaolan walked along the main road. There were many people harvesting rice in the fields on the side of the road.
I asked Master Zhu and went to see him. He was operating the machine.
Then Tian Xiaolan asked, "Master, do you want us to take turns?"
"No, why don't you see Xiaoyu."
"She's asleep."
"He'll get up and look for someone later, so go back quickly."
In the threshing ground, Tian Xiaolan noticed a figure in the corner. She walked over and saw that he was short, so she kicked him.
The shadow turned around and looked: "Why is it you? How did you find me?!"
"Why don't you go home? Your dad is looking for you."
"I'm not going back, go away."
Tian Xiaolan stood there, staring at him.
Fang Mingba got tired of being stared at and got up and left. He didn't want to stay with Tian Xiaolan. If his father found out, he would be beaten.
He originally wanted to wait until his father fell asleep before going back, but he didn't expect to be found by her.
He had to change places.
"Hurry back, your dad hasn't found you yet, he must be very worried."
"You are definitely not talking about my dad. He only knows how to beat people. How could he come to me?" Fang Ming turned his head away and ignored her.
"If I hadn't stopped him, he would have caught you!"
"How could you possibly be so kind as to help me?"
Tian Xiaolan: "Because I am a kind person."
Fang Ming turned and left, not wanting to talk to her.
Tian Xiaolan followed behind and urged him to go home quickly.
Fang Ming walked faster and faster, not wanting her to catch up at all.
"Don't follow me!"
"I won't follow you if you go back."
"If you don't follow me, I'll go back."
Although he said so, Tian Xiaolan felt that he would definitely not obey, but he was definitely more familiar with the village than she was, so her worries seemed a little unnecessary.
"Have a candy and go home."
“Who wants your candy?”
"It's so delicious! I want more!" Fang Ming stretched out his hand.
"there is none left."
The family hasn't bought this candy for a long time, and he hasn't eaten it for a long time since his grandmother passed away. As soon as he ate this candy, he thought of his grandmother.
"Go back quickly! Your dad is harvesting grain in the fields now. I'll give you a plan. Go back and pretend to be asleep. Your dad won't beat you!"
"Is this true?"
He is so tired from work now that he has no time to take care of him. No matter what, he has to coax him back first. Once he goes back, he will have to see his father no matter what.
"Of course it's true. That's how I got away with it."
Because Tian Xiaolan gave him candy, he temporarily believed her.
If not, he would definitely come to find her.
