It's not a cannonball

"Oh...why doesn't it move?"

"I don't know, could it be that I'm hungry? We're all full and it hasn't eaten yet!"

"Yes, then what does it eat?"

"..."

After they were full, they put the dead turtle on the ground energetically, and discussed it enthusiastically, but they quarreled again because of the turtle's food.

Tang Xun listened dumbfounded to their discussion.Until Xiaobai said to feed it some meat and interrupted at the right time.

"It's still too young, just feed it some shrimp, it's still too early for meat."

After listening to Tang Xun's words, the friends flipped through the little shrimp they had brought back and put them in front of the little turtle, looking at it with shining eyes——

"..."

silent.

"Eh?? Why don't you eat?" After staring at the little turtle for a while, the little turtle looked up, and the children looked up anxiously at Tang Xun.

"..."

"Don't worry about it, eat slowly."

Feeling helpless, it seems that I didn't have so much curiosity when I was a child...?

Tang Xun stopped at a big rock a little far away, brushed past it and sat down, beckoning to Mu Xuanying: "Come on, tell me how you found this turtle."

Xiaoyue pulled Xiaobai and shouted from a distance: "Brother Xunxun, Xiaobai and I went to the stream to see the little fish! I've always wanted to see it."

Tang Xun was taken aback and nodded. "Come back after reading."

Mo Yu looked at Xiaobai Xiaoyue's figure running away, then at Tang Xun and Mu Xuanying, hesitated for a moment, and came to Tang Xun's side with Mu Xuanying, and sat down with Tang Xun.

Mu Xuanying lowered her head slowly, without explaining immediately.

Tang Xun and Mo Yu looked at each other, feeling something was wrong.For Mu Xuanying, that idiot, there was nothing he could hesitate about.

Tang Xun originally asked curiously, but this reaction...as if something happened that they didn't know about?

Thinking about it this way, the attitude is a little more serious.

"Maomao, tell us something?"

Mu Xuanying's eyes dodged a little when she heard the question, and she took a peek at Mo Yu, only to find that the other party was also looking at him, and she looked away in a blink of an eye. "... You told me not to hit me."

"I wanted to pee, so I went to the stream."

"I overheard your conversation."

"I, I didn't mean to!"

Mo Yu's eyes changed when he heard this, and his dark pupils were stained with a trace of hostility.He is special to Maomao, but he is not ready to let him know his other side.

Tang Xun was also taken aback, subconsciously looking at Mo Yu.

Mu Xuanying seemed to know that Mo Yu would be in a bad mood, and immediately threw herself into Mo Yu's arms, hugged him and said anxiously: "Although I feel that I shouldn't listen to your speech, I still want to get closer to Brother Mo Yu. "

"It's not Brother Mo Yu who always stays silently by the side every time I don't come to look for it." As she spoke, she seemed to feel a great grievance, and her voice was about to cry, although Mu Xuanying didn't understand why. to cry.

"I know what Brother Mo Yu and Brother Xunxun are saying are bad things, but I still like Brother Mo Yu who laughs because he is being bullied, not Brother Mo Yu who suppresses his crying."

"I wanted Brother Mo Yu to be happy, so I searched for a long time by the stream. I wanted to catch a fish for you, but I was so stupid that I couldn't catch a slippery fish."

"That's when I saw the tortoise and I caught him right away because it was walking so slowly."

"I want to give it to you."

"Be with you when no one is with you."

After Mu Xuanying finished speaking, she really burst into tears. For some reason, she couldn't stop her tears.

Mu Xuanying didn't understand, but Tang Xun understood what that emotion was.

That's called "distressed".

Tang Xun felt that he should not say anything at this time.That little child held a fiery heart in front of another child when he was still ignorant of everything.

No words can describe how he feels right now, the soft emotion that fills his heart.

Mo Yu felt the same way as Tang Xun. Although Mo Yu was only seven years old, he became precocious because he experienced too many things that ordinary people could hardly imagine.He knows that there is nothing that will be given without expecting anything in return, just like his parents, who want him to inherit the family that is going to be dilapidated, so they hypocritically greet him.

And just now, he felt that his heart was so sad, like silly tears, crystal clear, hitting his heart hard.

Mo Yu admitted that the reason he provoked Mao Mao in the first place was because simply watching him run away crying satisfied his dark little thoughts.Later, I gradually became dissatisfied, so I wanted him to only play with myself, a childish possessiveness.

He didn't want others to know about his past, even if the pain and madness all over his body were extremely poisonous, he could survive by gritting his teeth alone.Tang Xun gave him a mature and reliable feeling, so when Mo Yu endured and endured seeing the rushing stream, he couldn't help showing his vulnerability.

He doesn't want anyone to know about this anymore, even if...

But he never thought that Maomao would treat him so softly, and aware of his loneliness and fragility, Mu Xuanying opened up his soft inner part to approach him in his own way.

Gentle want to cry.

Mo Yu couldn't help wrapping her arms around his small body, and buried her face in his sunny neck.

Mu Xuanying sobbed and stretched out her arms to hug Mo Yu. After crying, her red and swollen eyes were stinging. She really wanted to rub her eyes, but she tried her best to blink without pushing Mo Yu away, and let him hug her with the strength that strangled her.

"Do not cry."

Mo Yu raised her head and stretched out her fingers to gently brush the corners of Mu Xuanying's eyes.

Seeing him shed a few more tears due to physical reasons, he quickly wiped them away.

Mo Yu didn't know why, in the past, watching silly Mao Mao cry was a pleasure of a successful prank, but now she didn't want to see his tears at all.

I also thought silently, if someone bullies Mao Mao to cry, I will beat him.

Bending down to pick up the little turtle who had already eaten all the shrimps, and pulling Mu Xuanying up with one hand, Mo Yu still had that stern expression, but her whole body became softer, as if she had wiped away the dust covering the pearl, You can feel the soft light even if you close your eyes.

Tang Xun was relieved to see the interaction between the two, but he felt uncomfortable sitting anywhere, and always felt that his degree was too high to be shining.

Drinking, drinking, is really a "great" friendship.

Because Mao Mao's eyes were uncomfortable, the three of them decided to bring some things to the stream to scoop up some clear water to wash his eyes.By the way, call Xiaobai Xiaoyue to go back.

But Xiaobai Xiaoyue was not found by the stream.

Tang Xun is a shocking spirit, as the biggest among them, in every sense.Because I felt that I could bring them back safely, I happily came out to "adventure".But now the reality gave him a slap, because he was too careless and told the two children to stay away from them to play without thinking carefully.

Even if he was anxious, his calm attitude prevailed, because there were still two children waiting for him to find, and Mao Mao and Mo Yu were also watching him, so he must not panic.

Tang Xun took Mo Yu with his left hand and Mao Mao with his right: "Don't be afraid, let's look for it together."

Seeing the two children nodding obediently, they bent down to look around carefully, found some footprints, and gradually walked up the stream.Tang Xun's anxious heart relaxed slightly, and immediately led the people to the northwest direction of the flowing water.

As we walked farther, the scenery began to change.

Gradually the grass became taller and denser, gradually smelling of human voices and fireworks.The land becomes steeper and the terrain higher.After climbing over a fence, I saw an antique pavilion.Several people were crowded and noisy.

Mu Xuanying's eyes lit up, she pulled Tang Xun happily and said, "Brother Xunxun, look, isn't that Xiaobai Xiaoyue!"

Tang Xun took a closer look, quickly dragged them to the front of the two children and hugged them tightly.

"Where did you go, you scared us to death."

Xiaobai Xiaoyue is obviously also very guilty.

"Brother Xunxun, Mao Mao, Mo Yu, I'm sorry. We shouldn't be running around, and when we want to go back to find you, we can't find the way."

"It's fine."

Tang Xun patted the heads of the two men one by one with a sullen face.

"We met an old man who brought us here when he saw that we couldn't find our way."

Xiaobai pointed to an old man surrounded by several people and said to Tang Xun.

After hearing this, Tang Xun saw clearly the surrounded old man, wearing a gray-green robe, a black official hat, and beside him stood the familiar cheap white sail like a liar.

...It's really a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.Isn't this Yu Banxian who asks him to calculate a day's hexagrams after all the players have practiced their numbers until they vomit?

Speaking of hexagrams, Tang Xun rummaged through his backpack, and finally found a paper hexagram in the corner of the backpack.

Dui Gua is Ze.

"Dui, Lizhen.... "Xiang" said: "The joy of September [-]th, there is also celebration. The two marshes are connected together, and they can exchange what is needed and benefit from each other."

...I didn't notice it before, this is still a hexagram, I'm a little excited.

Just as Tang Xun was thinking about it, the noisy people left one after another. Looking around, he found that only a few of their children and Yu Banxian who was smiling were left.

Although Tang Xun felt that Yu Banxian might really have some supernatural powers and looked cautious, he approached him politely to say hello.

"Old man is well, thank you for taking care of these two children. I don't bother you anymore. We'll go back now."

Yu Banxian looked at the half-grown child in front of him and said a little bit of good greeting with a serious face, with a smile on his eyes.

"Why go so fast, what will happen to me when I stay with the old man?"

"...It's better to obey than to be respectful."

So several people sat down in the pavilion.

"Boy Tang Xun, this is younger brother Mo Yu, Mao Mao, Xiao Bai and Xiao Yue brought back by you."

"Because I want to eat some bamboo shoots, I came to pick some from the bamboo forest in the back mountain."

After explaining why he came here in a few words, Tang Xun looked at the old man peacefully.

"It's good for the dolls to call me Grandpa Yu." Yu Banxian said with a smile while stroking his long beard.Pushing the fruit on the pushing stone table, "Eat some, freshly picked."

Facing the food handed by an unfamiliar person, several people did not take it casually, but glanced at Tang Xun thoughtfully, and when they saw Tang Xun nodded slightly, they put on a big smile and thanked cutely: "Thank you grandfather!"

Tang Xun doesn't think they can make Yu Banxian think otherwise, even if they are all extraordinary in the future, they are still just children now, aren't they?So there is no need to be wary of anything.

Yu Banxian squinted his eyes to take a panoramic view of the interaction of the couple opposite, and there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes, making him feel more joyful.

"Then, leaving aside the child named Mo Yu, Tang Xunxun looks like an old man, the only one I've ever seen in my life."

The author has something to say: Seriously, when you start raising a turtle, it won’t eat, especially if you stare at it. _(:з)∠)_

It can't be said that because of this incident, Mo Yu puts Mao Mao in his heart and surpasses everything else. They are still young, and they are just pure friendship...

But this incident also tore a hole in Mo Yu's heart, and Mao Mao just got in.

Tang Xun is like an elder brother to Mo Yu, which is different from Maomao.

Although I really want such an obedient and gentle Mao Mao qaq is the most endearing when crying (x

Finally, I would like to thank Xia Qing for your vote for Lei qaq

I was so moved that I cried qwq super surprise!
