Chapter 61 Second Path of Exile 2
Chapter 61 Two Road to Exile 2 (Pu Friends' Circle Promotion Silver Additional Update)
——It’s not so unimaginable that I haven’t seen an orange. After all, the world is different. When she went to Chen Xiao, she also ate a bunch of fruits and monsters she had never seen before.
Now there are five or six steps between the two, and the child has not moved. Shi Xianyu dares not act rashly, for fear of scaring others.
She thought about it, slowly raised her other hand, and then... peeled the orange.
"This thing is called orange, it is a fruit, very sweet..." Shi Xianyu said softly, peeling off the orange peel, "Look, just peel the outer layer of skin and you can eat it..."
The orange peel was filled with a sweet fragrance, and the round flesh looked particularly cute in Shi Xianyu's hands. The child's eyes were straightened, and a trace of clear water droplets overflowed from the corners of his mouth, making them shiny.
Shi Xianyu saw that the child's reaction was too honest. He quickly stepped forward a few steps and stuffed the orange into the other party's hand, "Give it to you!"
Such temptation is irresistible, and the child immediately buried his head in gnawing on oranges!
The sweet and sour juice instantly overflowed, flowing all over his hands, chewing in a hurry, and licking his fingers clean, as if he had never eaten such a delicious thing before.
Shi Xianyu saw that the child's nails were covered with black mud, so he wanted to remind him if he could wash his hands, but when he thought that he had just met, he silently advised himself in his heart: Take it slowly, take it slowly...
Cultivate intimacy first.
She coughed lightly, and asked with a gentle smile, "Do you still want to eat?"
The child nodded a few times very hard!
Shi Xianyu suspected that if he tried harder, his head would probably be broken.
"Then, take me to your house, I will help you wash your body, and then we will eat more oranges, okay?" She was kind and tempted.
The child nodded again, turned around and pointed outside the fire door, and signaled Shi Xianyu to follow him.
Shi Xianyu followed the child to the apartment, wondering why after so much communication, the other party just nodded?
Can't speak?
Dumb?
But the child can hear her voice and understand her meaning, so he should not be a congenital deaf and mute person.
So, is it the reason for the acquired? Is it because of the throat injury or a mental illness and is unwilling to speak?
She was thinking randomly, and the person had already walked into the apartment door-
Entering the door is the entrance hall, the dining room is connected to the kitchen and balcony, the living room is connected to the master bedroom and the second bedroom, and the bathroom is in the middle.
The layout is clear at a glance, this is a very ordinary two-bedroom apartment.
Shi Xianyu's eyes swept over the family photos on the wall, scattered cartons beside the table, suspected expired cans of pets, and dried blood and fur on the floor...
The eyes finally fell on the child.
She couldn't help but wonder that the reason why the child could survive alone in the apartment for so long was because of these canned pets and the mice downstairs.
How did this child... persist? Are you always looking forward to your mother coming back to find her?
Shi Xianyu's heart is mixed with all kinds of feelings.
When she came to the bathroom, there was no drop of water in the water pipe, so she took out the basin and towel from the space, poured half of the basin of water, and took it out for the child to scrub.
As a result, the first reaction was to hold the basin and drink water.
Gudong Gudong drank a lot of gulp, as if I hadn't drunk water for a long time.
Shi Xianyu was so amused and cried. He waited patiently for the little guy to take several sips, and reached out to stop him: "Can we wash it first? I'll give you better water and oranges later. Didn't we agree to do it?"
Although the little guy couldn't speak, he was surprisingly obedient. Shi Xianyu said he wouldn't drink, so he really stopped and stopped drinking.
Shi Xianyu took off the clothes like a rotten cloth strip and found that in front of him was a little girl, thin and small, with her dirty little face and eyes that looked clearer and brighter.
Shi Xianyu observed her while scrubbing.
Apart from the scratch marks on her hands, there were no other obvious wounds on her body, but she was too thin, with almost no fat on her belly, and the shape of ribs was protruding, which looked very pitiful.
After wiping four basins of water in a row, it was finally cleaned. The little girl was surprisingly well-behaved and cooperated throughout the whole process, not making noise or making noise.
When I was taking care of a child for the first time, Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, took out another orange from her pocket, peeled it open, and divided the orange into petals in front of the little girl.
"Look, this is how oranges are eaten, so you can try it too?" She fed one of the oranges into the little girl's mouth, and put the remaining skins on her hands. "Come on, sit here and eat oranges, I'll wash your hair, okay?"
The little girl nodded, but still didn't say anything. She held the orange obediently, learning what Shi Xianyu had just done, eating oranges one by one.
This time she ate very slowly. She chewed a piece of orange in her mouth for a long time, as if she was trying to write down the taste of orange.
So obedient.
Shi Xianyu sighed in his heart.
She poured another basin of water to wash the little girl's hair. She had not been combed for too long and several areas were knotted. She could only cut it with scissors and then apply shampoo to clean it.
When the first time was gone, the foam was completely unharmed. Shi Xianyu washed it again and gently rubbed her little head while inquiring about the news:
"What's your name?"
The little girl wrote on the table with her fingers: Lu Li.
Her actions surprised Shi Xianyu a little. Logically speaking, a five or six-year-old child should not be very good at writing.
"Oh... Then I'll call you Xiaoli in the future, okay?" Shi Xianyu asked.
The little girl nodded again.
Shi Xianyu asked tentatively: "Xiaoli, are you...can't speak?"
The little girl opened her mouth, pointed at her throat, and shook her head gently.
It seems that she really can't speak.
If you can't speak, don't say anything. Just communicate normally. Moreover, she is so sensible, so it shouldn't be difficult to take care of her.
Shi Xianyu relaxed and asked again: "Xiaoli, how old are you?"
The little girl showed distress when she heard this. After thinking for a long time, she still shook her head.
"Don't you know how old you are?" Shi Xianyu was surprised, and then thought about whether she lived here alone for too long, so she forgot?
"Have you forgotten? Can you remember it again?" Shi Xianyu asked.
Xiaoli frowned and thought for a while, stretched out her little hand hesitantly, and compared it with a "eight".
This answer is bigger than Shi Xianyu expected. She thought she was at most six years old. Now it seems that it was because of long-term malnutrition, so she did not grow up.
"You sit here and dry your hair first, and I'll pour out the water." Shi Xianyu said.
She picked up the basin and went to the bathroom, poured out the dirty water, changed into another basin of clean water, and prepared to wipe Lu Li again.
But when he returned to the living room, he found Lu Li sleeping in a bath towel. He was curled up on the sofa, almost overwhelmed by the piles of debris on the sofa, and he was still holding half of the unfinished orange in his hand, and he slept very hard.
In fact, the sofa was also very dirty, but Shi Xianyu looked at the child's sleeping face and couldn't bear to wake up, so he put down the basin.
"Forget it, wait until she wakes up before washing..."
Shi Xianyu sighed silently, glanced at him and saw a spread out diary on the sofa.
Perhaps, she can learn some clues through her diary...
