New ink fragrance in old times

Chapter 33 Rat in the Gutter

Lin Mo took a deep breath and said with a fake smile: "No, I didn't see it just now."

Hu Zi scratched his head and said, "Dou Zi, I thought I had made you angry in some way, and you didn't want to play with me anymore."

Lin Mo couldn't stand it any longer: "Can you please stop calling me Douzi?"

When Hu Zi heard this, tears filled his eyes: "Why, Douzi, don't you want to play with me?" Then he burst into tears.

Lin Mo was shocked by Hu Zi's sudden tears. He didn't expect that his words would make the child so sad.

My heart softened and I thought to myself: Forget it, it’s a dog, I’ll just consider it as loving the child.

Then, he comforted her, "Okay, okay, don't cry, just call me whatever you want."

Hu Zi immediately turned from crying to laughing, "Dou Zi, you are the best."

As he spoke, he took out the pear that he had been hiding in his arms and handed it to Lin Mo, "Douzi, this is very sweet. I'll give it to you."

"I don't want to eat it, you eat it yourself." Lin Mo refused.

"Bean, this is a gift from me. You must accept it, otherwise... otherwise I won't be friends with you anymore."

amount……

Lin Mo looked at the two ugly and big pears handed to him again. He really didn't want them. After a moment's pause, he looked at Old Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin originally wanted to ask Lin Mo not to take it, but suddenly remembered Lin Sixuan's words, so she nodded and said, "Take it, Sanlang."

Lin Mo took the two ugly pears handed to him by Hu Zi, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen such fruit since he traveled through time, but their appearance was really hard to compliment, and he was a little hesitant about whether to really taste it.

He looked at Hu Zi and found that his expectant eyes were fixed on the pear in his hand, and he could hear the sound of swallowing saliva in his throat from time to time.

Looking at Hu Zi's longing eyes, Lin Mo's heart couldn't help but soften.

He realized that in this strange world, food might be far more precious than he had imagined, and he was deeply moved by Hu Zi's cherishment of the two pears. So, he smiled, handed the pear back to Hu Zi, and said softly, "Eat it."

"No, this is for you." Although Hu Zi wanted to eat it very much, he reserved it for Dou Zi.

"Then let's eat together, one each." Lin Mo continued.

"Okay, Douzi, you are so nice to me." Hu Zi happily took one of the smaller pears and started to bite it.

Lin Mo looked at the silly Hu Zi and said with amusement in his heart: What a little cutie, he eats his own pear and thanks others.

"Beans, eat them quickly, they're so sweet." Hu Zi said to Lin Mo while eating.

Lin Mo looked at the pear in his hand and thought: Why not share it with the children of the Lin family.

Mrs. Lin seemed to have guessed what Lin Mo was going to do, and said to Lin Mo, "Sanlang, since it was given to you by Hu Zi, you can eat it yourself and don't share it with others."

"Beans, eat them quickly, they're so sweet." Hu Zi looked at Lin Mo expectantly, his clear eyes gleaming with sincerity. Seeing this, Lin Mo's hesitation finally dissipated. He nodded, deciding to try this fruit from another world, even though it was ugly.

He stared at the pear in his hand. There seemed to be some kind of magic hidden beneath its unremarkable appearance, attracting him to explore.

He took a deep breath and took a small bite. In an instant, the juice of the pear burst in Lin Mo's mouth, and the sweet taste quickly spread, making people intoxicated.

"Delicious." Lin Mo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Every bite made him feel extremely satisfied and happy.

When Hu Zi heard Lin Mo's praise, a smug smile appeared on his face. He said happily, "I told you it was delicious!"

Lin Mo looked at Hu Zi's innocent smile and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Lin Mo said to Hu Zi gratefully, "Hu Zi, thank you."

"Hu Zi, Hu Zi, where are you?" Mrs. Fang's voice came from a distance.

After hearing this, Hu Zi said to Lin Mo: "Dou Zi, I'm leaving first. You must remember to come and play with me." Then he ran towards Mrs. Fang.

"Hu Zi, where have you been? You scared me to death!" Mrs. Fang rushed over, panting, her face pale and obviously anxious. She glanced at Hu Zi and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was safe.

"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry." Hu Zi stuck out his tongue and comforted Fang Pozi with a playful smile. He knew that his grandmother really loved him, so she reacted like this.

"You're such a worry, kid!" Mother Fang sighed, feeling both angry and helpless. She pointed around, her tone blaming her, "Do you know there are wolves in these mountains? What would you do if you encountered one?"

"You child..." Mrs. Fang was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"Okay, grandma, I understand. Let's go." Hu Zi interrupted Mrs. Fang and pushed her away with his hand.

Lin Mo looked at Hu Zi and Fang Pozi who were gradually going away in the distance, and smiled in his heart: Hu Zi is worthy of being called Hu Zi, he has a tiger-like appearance.

Hu Zi's innocence and liveliness, and Mrs. Fang's loving care for Hu Zi, all made Lin Mo feel very warm.

At the same time, an indescribable feeling of guilt quietly welled up in my heart.

Lin Mo recalled his experience of traveling through time and space. It seemed like a joke of fate that made him inexplicably occupy this body and become another person.

He enjoyed the original owner's family and friendship, and even began to integrate into this new world, but deep down in his heart, he could never completely get rid of the guilt of being a "thief".

Lin Mo felt that he had stolen the original owner's identity, enjoyed his family affection, and inherited his friendship. There was even a moment when he thought it would be great if he was really Lin Douzi, but he was Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, ah Lin Mo, who on earth are you?" He asked himself secretly in his heart, "You are just an outsider, but you are here enjoying everything that does not belong to you. You are like a rat in the gutter, secretly stealing other people's lives."

A sense of loss surged in Lin Mo's heart. This feeling of loss made Lin Mo feel exhausted, as if the whole world had abandoned him.

Lin Mo longed to find a way out, but didn't know where to start.

"Sanlang, what are you doing? Come and work." Old Mrs. Lin shouted to Lin Mo.

"Here I am, grandma." Lin Mo hid his emotions. He looked happy and happily carried a small basket to fill it with corn. As for his true thoughts, no one knew.

As the days passed quietly like flowing water, in the blink of an eye, the July calendar turned to the 27th page.

Lin Mo still worked diligently with the Lin family as usual. His sweat shone in the sun, reflecting his young figure.

However, there was an unusual atmosphere in the Lin family courtyard today - Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan were on vacation today, adding a bit of warmth and joy to this ordinary day.
