My Arknights Life Diary

"By the way, Xiaoke, how old are you this year?"

Shu looked at Xiao Ke beside him and said this.

"Um... Turtle, how old am I?"

Xiao Ke turned his head and asked the turtle beside him.

"Well...Tu Fang said before that I should be 12 years old, and you should be two years older than me, so you should be 14 years old..."

Guigui thought about it and said that if Tu Fang was here at this moment, she would definitely burst into tears, because the arithmetic that Nancy taught them finally came in handy.

"Oh! Sister Shu, I'm 14 years old!"

Sister Shu saw the whole scene, and she felt that these two little guys were not very smart...

"By the way, I heard you guys mention Tu Fang a lot. Who is he to you? Is he your father? If he is your father, then where is your mother?"

It is not surprising that Shu would have such an idea. After all, the appearance of Tufang humans looks relatively old in the eyes of the Terra people, especially since Tufang is now taller than before.

In the eyes of ordinary Terra people, Tu Fang is at least 25 years old.

To Uncle's surprise, Xiao Ke and Gui Gui both shook their heads.

"I don't have parents. Tu Fang is my family."

"I can't remember anything about my parents, maybe I don't have them either, but I remember Tu Fang. Tu Fang should be Gui Gui's older brother."

These words not only reached Shu's ears, but also reached the ears of Hesheng next to him.

"You don't have parents either?"

He Sheng said this with some surprise.

"Yeah." X2

Xiao Ke and Gui Gui nodded, not feeling unhappy at all because of He Sheng's somewhat presumptuous words.

"Alas, you are a poor child, but it can be seen that Tu Fang has taken good care of you, especially you, Xiao Ke. You look white and plump!"

"I'm not fat!"

Xiao Ke immediately retorted.

Shu thought Xiaoke might have misunderstood something. She felt that this child was not very smart...

"Oh? By the way, Sister Xiaoke, speaking of which, you said before that you were traveling with that guy named Tu Fang, so why did you come to Dahuang City?

This place is remote. Although it was a good granary in ancient times, now... the government rarely pays attention to this place on weekdays.

Moreover, there are mostly farmlands here, and there is nothing worth seeing, let alone any special scenery.

Apart from some caravans and people collecting grain, there are few outsiders here. Aren't you going to the East Country? Logically, you should have been taking the official road.

Why did you choose to come to this remote place in Dahuang City?"

He Sheng thought of something and asked.

When Xiao Ke heard this question, he fell into deep thought, then turned his head and looked at the turtle next to him and said.

"Turtle, do you know?"

"Hmm...I can't remember clearly. I seemed to have heard Tu Fang say that he was going to do something in Dahuang City, but I seem to have forgotten the details.

I only remember that Tu Fang was talking to himself in the car, saying that he was doing something he should do? He also seemed to have said a few words to Sister Nancy during that time........

Well... that's all. I was half asleep at the time and can't remember much more."

Turtle said this with some uncertainty.

"What should be done? Well, it seems like you didn't say anything..."

He Sheng said this somewhat speechlessly.

But unlike Hesheng, after hearing this sentence, Shu started to think divergently.

The man named Tu Fang just looked at her a little longer than the average person, maybe he saw something special about her...

Something that should be done...it's a should, not a must...maybe someone once asked you to do it, so you do it now that you have the opportunity?

Feel it carefully, this person named Tu Fang also has the aura of the unknown giant beast, and that aura is the same as that of the little girl named Xiao Ke...

Shu thought about it and shook her head. She was not good at these things. If it were her younger brother or second brother, perhaps they could come up with something else.

But she herself was unable to connect the information together and come up with a possible answer.

However, despite this, she was not overly worried about whether Tu Fang would cause any trouble, because based on her observation, Tu Fang should not be a bad person.

The so-called thing that should be done may really be just a small thing asked by a friend of his.

............

"dinner time!"

Tu Fang shouted outside the yard. At this time, the first batch of beast meat had arrived on the oven and was almost ready to eat.

The moment Tu Fang finished speaking, a yellow dog and a black dog rushed into the yard.

"Look how anxious you two are, especially you. I couldn't find you during the festival, and you rushed to the restaurant faster than anyone else. This is the connection between the two of you."

Tu Fang spoke somewhat helplessly, then took out a few skewers of almost roasted meat from the oven, put them into two plates respectively, and handed them to Xiao Ke and Saga.

After these two hungry dogs, other people came one after another. The third one was Xiaoman, who had been waiting in the yard in advance, but she failed to snatch the two hungry dogs.

Therefore, only in the third place, after Xiaoman comes Guigui, and after Guigui comes Hesheng, and after Hesheng is naturally Shu which comes slowly.

Tu Fang distributed the barbecues one by one.

"Thank you."

He Sheng thanked Tu Fang as he took the barbecue he was handed over to him.

Tu Fang enjoyed it very much and gave him another piece. After all, who doesn’t like a polite child?

"Oh? By the way, I still don't know your name. What's your name?"

"My name is Hesheng."

"Ah this......"

When Tu Fang heard the name, he was obviously stunned.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with this name?"

He Sheng looked at Tu Fang and spoke with some curiosity.

"No, it's nothing."

Tu Fang waved his hand, indicating that He Sheng could go eat aside. Although He Sheng was a little confused, he didn't say much.

This scene naturally reached Shu's eyes. She felt as if she had discovered something that should be done. Tu Fang was so sensitive to the name He Sheng...

It just so happens that He Sheng has no father or mother... Although He Sheng's name was given by someone else and is not his original name, his life experience is not a secret in the Great Desert City...

People from the outside world can find out the origin of this child with a little investigation...

"Uh...Miss Shu?"

"Uh, sorry, I was delayed by something I thought of."

What Shu didn't know was that she was overthinking this matter. After all, although Tu Fang didn't know "He Sheng", he knew "He Shen".

These two names just happen to have the same pronunciation, which makes Tu Fang look at He Sheng with a strange look...

........

"Nancy."

Following Tu Fang's shout, Nancy brought a basin full of barbecued meat on skewers and filled the oven again.

"Mr. Tu Fang, I'll grill it from now on, you can take a rest."

"Oh, by the way, Nancy, your portion is on the table behind you, remember to eat it while it's hot!"

"understood."

...............

Everyone was sitting at a big table in the yard eating barbecue. After a while, Tu Fang thought of something and ran to the kitchen and brought back a pot of hot steamed buns.

After all, staple foods are indispensable in the eating habits of most people sitting at this table.

As they ate, everyone started chatting again.

"Brother, your name is Tu Fang, right? How old are you this year? Are you married?"

Shu asked.

"20, well, not married yet."

For some reason, as Tu Fang and Shu chatted, they always felt like they were talking to an...elder...

"I didn't expect you to be so young, but it looks like you are raising these two children by yourself. It must be very hard on weekdays."

"Well...it's not that hard actually. Xiao Ke and Gui Gui are very well behaved. Besides, Nancy and Uncle Qi also help take care of them on weekdays. By the way, let me introduce them to you.

The one grilling over there is Nancy, and Uncle Qi is one of my elders, he is still in Longmen now. "

"Oh? Then why don't you ask Miss Nancy to come and eat with us? There is quite a lot of barbecue on the table."

Tu Fang did not answer this question, but shifted his gaze to Xiao Ke beside him. At this moment, Xiao Ke was pretending to be polite and chewing slowly, which was completely different from his usual behavior.

But Tu Fang knew that this only slowed down the speed of eating, and the total amount of food eaten would not change...

"Well, let's not talk about this matter. Please eat quickly, Miss Shu, or the meat will get cold and won't taste good."

"Hmm? Did you have any conflicts? If so, you can tell me. I have mediated many conflicts and disputes over the years."

For some reason, Tu Fang felt that Shu had misunderstood something again...

"Well, okay, it seems that this question is a bit presumptuous. By the way, this place is remote. Did you encounter any dangerous places on the way here?

In recent years, there have been frequent reports of caravans being hijacked by gangsters. This has happened to several caravans passing through Dahuang City. Did you encounter any gangsters harassing you on your way here?"

"That's not the case. Miss Shu, we have had a relatively smooth journey and have not encountered any dangerous situations."

"Well, that's good. You are here to have fun. To be honest, I know that there is nothing worth visiting in Dahuang City.

For daily activities, you can walk around the fields freely, just be careful not to step on the crops, but don't run around, as some places are actually factories.

The factory is basically off-limits to outsiders. If you go there rashly, you might get into some trouble. I'm not overly worried about you.

The most important thing is Guigui and Xiaoke. Xiaoman said they are very lively. I am afraid they will run around and go to places they shouldn’t go. "

"Thank you Miss Shu for the reminder."

"You don't have to be so distant. Most people here are honest farmers who are known to everyone. They usually call me Sister Shu. You can call me that if you don't mind."

"Oh, I see......"

For some reason, Tu Fang felt that the person in front of him was similar to his grandmother, who always gave him various instructions...
