After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

When Jinchu led his brother into the house, the little gray rabbit had already jumped from the ground to the table and was staring at the two of them with its black eyes.

"Sister, is this the little rabbit that the big brother gave me? It's so cute, can I touch it?" After all, she is still a child. The moment Zhao'er saw the little gray rabbit, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Of course you can. You will be its little master from now on. Not only can you touch it, you can also hug it." Jin Chu saw the smile on Zhao'er's face and also smiled.

Zhao'er walked over carefully, stretched out her hand and tentatively touched its head. The little gray rabbit did not run away, but cooperated contrary to its usual behavior. Zhao'er exclaimed in surprise: "Sister, sister, look how well behaved it is. It even lets me touch it!"

Jin Chu nodded and reminded with a smile: "You can also try to hug it, but remember not to touch its mouth, otherwise it will bite your fingers."

Zhao'er nodded repeatedly, touched the rabbit's back fur a few times, and finally couldn't help stretching out his hands and hugging the little gray rabbit.

The soft touch of the plush rabbit silently soothed the little boy's anxiety. He gently stroked the rabbit's back fur and slowly calmed down.

"Zhao'er, come and tell me, how have you been doing these past two days while I'm away?" Jin Chu looked at the little boy and asked casually, "Hey, I just noticed that you have a wound on your forehead. Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore!" When his sister asked about the wound, the little boy subconsciously turned his head, trying his best to avoid his sister's gaze. He added, "I accidentally fell and scratched it yesterday while walking."

"Really? Then Zhao'er must be more careful when walking next time. It would be a shame to break such a pretty face."

Jin Chu took two steps forward calmly and carefully observed the scar on his brother's forehead. Although the wound had scabbed over, it was obviously a long incise scar, which should have been caused by hitting a sharp object. It was not at all caused by falling to the ground as Zhao'er said.

The child is hiding the truth.

She thought for a moment and said to her brother, "I heard an interesting story the past two days in the mountains. The little boy in the story is about the same age as Zhao'er. Would you like to hear me tell you the story?"

"Sister, please tell me quickly. Zhao'er likes to listen to your stories." The little guy didn't doubt it and urged his sister to tell him a story seriously.

"A long time ago, there lived a lonely old carpenter in the forest. One day, he carved a talking and laughing piece of wood into a puppet. He named him Cao Amu and treated him like his son..." Jin Chu cleared his throat and told the famous modern children's story "The Adventures of Pinocchio".

Zhao'er's hand, which was originally stroking the rabbit, slowed down unconsciously. When he heard "Cao Amu lied and grew a long nose..." he subconsciously touched his nose.

Jin Chu watched this scene with amusement in his heart, but pretended not to know and continued, "Then the fairy told Cao Amu that your father had installed a mechanism in you. He wanted you to be honest and not lie. If you lie, your nose will grow longer. If you keep lying, your nose will keep growing longer until you become a long-nosed monster!"

Cao Amu was filled with remorse. He cried and begged the fairy, "Save me! I won't lie again!" Seeing his sincere repentance, the fairy restored his nose to normal. After that, Cao Amu never lied again and became a good and honest child.

When the story was finished, the little boy's head was already hung low, and the little gray rabbit in his hand had disappeared.

After a while, a voice sounded: "Sister, did you know from the beginning that I was lying?"

Facing the boy's inquiring gaze, Jin Chu nodded and sighed meaningfully. "I know that the wound on Zhao'er's forehead wasn't caused by a fall, but I also know it was probably caused by a collision with a sharp object. But I know Zhao'er must have his own reasons, so I'd like to hear him explain them himself."

An expression of shame and anger suddenly appeared on the little boy's face. He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

The day after Jinchu left, Zhao'er, who had been worried all night, fell into a panic when he hadn't seen his sister come back after breakfast. He impulsively wanted to go to the mountains to look for his sister, but just as he walked out of the yard, he remembered his sister's words that he should not run around, and he regretted it.

The mountains are so big, even if he went there, would he be able to find his sister? Moreover, if he got lost in such a huge mountain, wouldn't his sister be even more anxious when she came back and couldn't find him? His sister asked him to wait at home, so he should have waited at home.

Thinking of this, he withdrew the idea of ​​going to the mountains to look for his sister. But when he turned around, he saw Liu Fudan and his lackey Wang Ernao who were playing not far away.

Liu Fudan was kicking the pebbles on the ground out of boredom, and Wang Ernao, who was standing next to him, was the first to notice Zhao'er not far away.

He reached out and tugged at Liu Fudan, pointed in the direction of Zhao'er, and said something. Then the two of them came towards Zhao'er, one in front and the other behind.

Zhao'er's heart skipped a beat. These two people always thought of bullying others when they got together. They never did anything good. He quickly pretended not to see them, turned around, and ran forward at a faster pace.

"Yo yo yo! Look who this is?" A sarcastic voice came from behind. As soon as the words fell, Liu Fudan grabbed Zhao'er by the collar.

He was originally two or three years older than Zhao'er. In addition, Sun doted on this only son and fed him well. He was tall and strong. Standing in front of the thin Zhao'er, he was much taller than him.

"Liu Fudan, let me go!"

Zhao'er tried hard to pry his hand open, but he was too small and weak to be Liu Fudan's opponent. After trying for a long time, he not only failed to pry his opponent's hand open, but also exhausted himself and was out of breath.

Seeing his miserable appearance, Wang Ernao beside him clapped his hands and laughed heartily. He spared no effort to flatter his elder brother: "Brother Fudan, you are really strong! With that pull, this cowardly kid is like a hanged ghost who has lost his way!"

The flattery from his younger brother made Liu Fudan even more proud. Instead of loosening his grip on the collar, he became more interested in teasing Zhao'er because of her resistance. He simply raised his hands and lifted Zhao'er higher.

Zhao'er was now completely suspended in the air, completely out of control. His face flushed red with anger and fear, his voice shrill, "Liu Fudan, you bad guy, you, you put me down!"

Zhao'er's miserable appearance greatly pleased Liu Fudan. He said with a strange smile, "Come on, Sheng Zhao'er, call me grandpa and I'll let you go!"

"I won't! You and your mother are both bad people. Your whole family has ganged up on me and my sister. My brother will not forgive you when he comes back!" Zhao'er suppressed the tears that were about to flow from his eyes. Because of fear and anger, his eyes were wide open and his whole body was shaking.
