The small town of my hometown is only two hours' drive from the city, but for me, who was traveling far for the first time, it was already a backcountry.If it were a child from another family who was somehow abandoned by an adult in a place like Shankara, he would definitely be crying or fussing.

But when I was younger, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I was far away from them.

At home, although grandma admitted the wrong person, she was always very kind to me.At school, I also quickly integrated into the new class.

I can honestly say that these days were the happiest two years of my entire childhood.

I was young at the time, and now I have forgotten all about what happened.But whenever I think of that time, I can't forget two people.The one that impressed me most was my grandma, and the other was my neighbor.

To be precise, it was the kid from the neighbor's house.

In my initial impression, the neighbor's house is very mysterious and very different.

There is an iron gate with a wall high in the neighbor's house.In over a month since I moved in, I've never seen that door open, let alone anyone.

And it is also a single-family house. If our house is an earthen house, then the neighbor's house can be called a castle.

Children always have rich imaginations. I once fantasized that wizards lived in it, and I guessed that ghosts lived in it...

After another month, I finally met my neighbor.

On the way home from school, I have to pass a long slope.The slope is long and steep, and there are no shelters on both sides, so it is easy to fall if you are not careful.

That day I was walking home as usual, but when I went uphill, I saw a child standing in front of me.

The guy was small, in striped pajamas, with his hair tied back in a short ponytail.

When I got closer, I could see the child's face clearly, it was as white as a porcelain doll.

At that moment, my little heart thumped, because I had never seen such a beautiful girl.

I wanted to say hello to her, but before I could speak, the girl walked past me without even looking at me.

At that time, I felt ashamed and said in my heart that I never wanted to see her again.A few days later, however, I saw her again.The place where we met this time was a bit strange, it was in front of my house.

Grandma has bad ears and doesn't go out often, so naturally she didn't find a living thing squatting at the door.

I don't know how long she squatted there, but before I got close enough, she stood up suddenly.I thought she had found the wrong house, and asked her where she lived. After all, most of the houses here are the same, and I tried to go to the wrong house when I first came here.But she was silent like last time, staring at me warily.

What broke the silence was the grunting of the opponent's stomach.The girl put her hands on her stomach and lowered her head in embarrassment.

I looked pitiful, and without thinking about it, I stuffed the snacks in my hand to her.

She clenched the snack in her hand, but still didn't speak.At that time, I would have a whim, thinking that this child might not be able to speak.

So I reached out and gently touched the little girl's head.She looked up at me, her eyes were bright and clear like glass beads.

I asked her where she lived, and she pointed to the iron gate next door.

Later, every time I go home, I can always see that thin figure at the door.She was like a puppy waiting for her master to come home, but she was very quiet, she just waited quietly and stood up when she saw me.

Gradually, I thought she was really dumb, and no longer cared about the other party's response, and always talked on her own.Until one day of physical education class, I slipped home early and saw a girl from a distance on the road.

She was surrounded by two boys who were half a head taller than her, and I recognized them as the "little bullies" in the next class.The children pushed and shoved her, looking extremely unfriendly.

They entered a small alley, and after a while, I heard an "ah" coming from the front.

She is so weak, she must have been bullied.

Thinking of this, I hurried over.

As a result, when I arrived, what I saw was quite different from what I had imagined.The girl was unscathed, but it was the boy lying on the ground who was screaming in pain.

At that time she gave me a cold glance, I was startled, subconsciously took a step back.

Then she gave me a puzzled look, and I guess she wanted to ask me why I was here.

I watched a lot of cartoons in the second grade, so I blurted out, "I'm here to save you."

The girl blinked and seemed to be smiling.

Afterwards, I was still a little embarrassed. I thought I had hired a follower, but I didn't expect it to be a big brother.

But she still waited for me to finish class every day, followed me silently, and obediently let me play around with me.One day I took her to pick fruit on the mountain, and when I came back, I saw many flowers and plants planted in front of a house, including a pot with snow-white daisies.

My mother once told me the name of this flower in a picture book because she liked it.Later, under her influence, I also fell in love with this light-colored little flower.

At that time, I didn't know the language of flowers and flowers, I only knew that beautiful things and beautiful people are compatible.

I sneaked into the yard like a thief, secretly picked a daisy, and handed it to the girl as if asking for credit.

She took it, whispering thanks.

"You can talk?" I blurted out.

She shut her mouth and said nothing again.I didn't see her again for several days after that.I realized that she was angry, and after thinking about it, the next day I took a strangely shaped "rabbit" and ran to the next door to find her.

The person who opened the door for me was a middle-aged man with a serious face. I thought he was the girl's father, but after seeing the respectful appearance of the other party, I couldn't help being a little surprised.

I handed the rabbit to her, "I did it, isn't it amazing?"

She took it and bent the corner of her mouth.The first time I saw her smile, I was taken aback.

The middle-aged man called her Xiao Mo, so I called her too.She remained silent, with an acquiescing look.

The girl lost her temper, but she couldn't think about it for some reason.

One morning, I almost didn't recognize her, because she had a crew-shaved head and her fair skin made her look like an egg from a distance.

Fortunately, that face is still cute and can give me some spiritual comfort.

Also on the same day, a big event happened. I don’t know if I was too frightened during the day. On the way home, I fell off the slope.

The memory behind is a bit blurred, and the vision at that time was also blurred by the blood.I only remember that my nose was filled with the smell of rust, I only remembered the appearance of the girl jumping down without hesitation, I only remembered her slightly red eyes from fright...

After that, she called a middle-aged man and took me to the hospital with my head covered in blood.

During the few days in the hospital, Xiao Mo came to see me almost every day.Grandma has bad legs and feet, and the middle-aged man delivered the food.

Children recover quickly, and I was discharged from the hospital in less than half a month.The only regret is that my wound healed, but I left a visible scar on my forehead.

The friendship between me and Xiao Mo seems to have deepened because of this incident.

Strange to say, I have never seen her go to school, and besides her and middle-aged people, I have never seen a third person in her family.

I thought that one day I would know, after all, the children at that time always thought that friendship could last forever as the book said.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.I don't remember exactly what happened in those days, one day, the girl suddenly disappeared.

I was at a loss, so I had to wait day by day, but instead of the girl coming back, my dad and brother came.
