Chapter 1041 I Really Mind... If I Say That?

Xiao Heitan's body was constantly trembling, and I could only hold her tightly, hoping that this thin body could feel even the slightest warmth.

Maybe this question is cruel to Xiao Heitan that we don't understand, and it may cause harm, but even so, it must be asked. We don't have ten or twenty years to slowly let Xiao Heitan Heitan opens her heart. If we don't do this, it will be difficult for our relationship with her to make real progress.

The three of them remained silent. The pot in Jeluka's hand was filled with water, and even leaked and dripped on the ground, but she was still unconscious and focused all her attention on this.

Xiao Heitan did not speak, but lowered his head again, hiding his face behind the long mercury bangs. His cold body kept trembling, and it looked like he had crawled into a dark corner to wait for death, in the darkness. The trembling and panting dying animals in the scene are heart-wrenching.

I didn't ask further, because I believed in Xiao Heitan, she must have felt it too. If you don't say anything and keep all your thoughts in your heart, then the hearts of the family will not really be together. The fragile soul must also be longing for warmth and happiness.

Silence, the silence in the cave where the three of them were, was terrifying. Even the sound of breathing that should have seemed to have completely disappeared. A dull and oppressive atmosphere flowed in the air. All of this needed Xiao Heitan to open his mouth to break it. .

"I……"

A sound as soft as a mosquito's groan flowed out from under Xiao Heitan's head that was lowered. For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to flow again. Jeluka and I both breathed a sigh of relief and gasped slightly.

"Afraid of..."

The voice was still intermittent, with a trembling cry.

"If... if I don't... do something, if I don't... make money, will my father... my mother... think of me as a burden... or... ugh... Do you... feel... feel... wu wu~~ think... I am trouble... sell me, wu wu~~~"

At the end, Xiao Heitan finally cried. The tears he thought he had cried all last night fell from his cheeks to the flowerpot drop by drop, hitting the petals. The flowers kept shaking, just like Xiao Heitan's mood at the moment. Generally, full of uncertainty.

"What an idiot..."

Hearing Xiao Heitan's explanation, Jeluka and I exhaled at the same time, but felt heartbroken at the same time.

It turns out that the reason why we are troubled is so simple. Little Heitan is just afraid that we think she is useless and that she is a drag, and is afraid of being abandoned by us. It is just that simple. She has never experienced this kind of life. Neither Jeluka nor I can understand Xiao Heitan's thoughts, which is why he keeps worrying and thinking wildly, complicating simple reasons.

"Who said my little black charcoal is useless?"

I took a deep breath, picked up the little Heitan in my arms, and turned her around so that she was facing me. Then I used my big hands to completely embrace her thin cheeks, raised her face, and stared at the pair of eyes hidden in her eyes. The eyes behind the bangs.

"Listen up, Xiao Heitan, mom and dad... the reason why we are standing here now is for Xiao Heitan. If there is no Xiao Heitan... our existence at the moment is meaningless. For us, as long as we look at Having little Heitan grow up healthily and live happily is a kind of happiness, you know? Little Heitan is not useless, you are our most precious daughter."

Perhaps, these words were a little vague, because I didn’t want to deceive Xiao Heitan, but I couldn’t reveal my identity. Maybe there was an element of deception in it, but Jeluka and I’s feelings for Xiao Heitan were both true. , just a few days of getting along, this poor but strong girl has completely touched our souls.

"Really...really?"

Raising his head, Xiao Heitan cast his timid eyes with a helpless and hot searching look, just like a chick that had just pecked open the egg shell and emerged from the shell, and reluctantly opened its still wet eyes. His eyes, with a cautious look of coquettish eagerness, looked at the big bird standing in front of him, exuding a gentle and friendly aura.

Perhaps it was true. In the past, she was timid and fearful of the outside world, as if she had locked herself in an eggshell and lived alone in the darkness. But now, she has cracked the eggshell for the first time. , try to respond to our call outside, try to adapt to the light outside.

To be honest, because we didn’t have much time left, we had no choice but to use force to break Xiao Heitan’s heart in such an urgent time frame. Will this be counterproductive, and will it hurt Xiao Heitan even more and make her even more closed off?

It wasn't until now, at this moment, that I really let go of the big stone in my heart. It seemed that what I did was not wrong. Although I made Xiao Heitan cry twice in a short period of time, I was also full of heartache and self-blame. Rolling around can be regarded as evil retribution, but the result of doing so is what it is now. Xiao Heitan has taken the most critical step.

It seems that the beautiful girl game I played before was not in vain - I was very proud of this and nodded secretly.

"Of course it's true. Besides, isn't Xiao Heitan helping dad take care of these flowers now? Why is it useless? What a little fool."

I rubbed Xiao Heitan's head a little harder, picked her up and spun her around. After overcoming this biggest difficulty, I feel really comfortable and happy now. I just feel that the future life will be bright. , the steps became light and graceful.

"Why, you don't believe Dad?" Seeing that Xiao Heitan still had a blank expression, I frowned pretending to be unhappy.

Xiao Heitan quickly shook his head with all his strength, even if he broke his neck.

Really, even after getting rid of this knot, he still looked very afraid of me. How did the evil father and mother treat Xiao Heitan in the past? Maybe even Xiao Heitan's idea that he would be sold if he was useless was all thanks to those two bastards.

I secretly cursed Xiao Heitan's previous parents. Although this may be just my own guess, one thing can be absolutely confirmed from Xiao Heitan's usual behavior, that is, those two people's attitude towards Xiao Heitan was absolutely bad. Incomparably, he might just despise and beat her as if she were a liability.

"ah--!!"

When I came back to my senses, Xiao Heitan's scream suddenly came to my ears. I quickly looked at Xiao Heitan and found that she was looking at Jeluka in shock.

Following her gaze, I saw a scene that made me laugh and cry.

Like me, Jeluka was extremely happy to have solved the knot in Xiao Heitan's heart. She was wiping her wet eyes with excitement and relief, but the pot she was holding was still overflowing. , the floor of half the cave has been wetted.

It seems that even making Morgan porridge has become a delusion.

Little Heitan jumped down from my arms with great agility, took the pot from Jeluka's hand and ran outside, pouring away the excess water. I followed and stood next to Jeluka, watching Xiao Heitan hurriedly He looked busy and smiled involuntarily.

"What a useless mother."

I flicked Jeluka on the forehead. Unexpectedly, the stupid maid just lowered her head and smiled in embarrassment.

How can my dirty maid be so docile! !

For a moment, I was stunned by the gentle smile on Jeluka's face that looked like a Virgin. I even began to wonder if the Colgate sisters took the opportunity to secretly switch over while I was sleeping last night.

Difficult... can't you say! !

I suddenly looked at Jeluka in shock.

If not, could it be said that in addition to his pornographic jokes and contraceptive hobby, this guy also has the qualifications to be a good wife and mother? ! !

Staring at me with undisguised scorching eyes, Jeluka's head hung lower, and the blush on her face became even worse.

Then, she suddenly turned around unbearably, with a sinister smile, and struck my eyes with a double dragon seize the pearl.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch—! ! This bastard maid! !

Because Xiao Heitan was still nearby, he could only hold back his screams and roll on the ground with his eyes closed.

It's definitely an illusion. The thought just now is definitely a serious illusion that can only occur to a guy who has eaten an entire bottle of Geluka's special contraceptive pill.

"Dad...what's wrong?"

Xiao Heitan turned around and saw my red eyes with tears streaming down my face. He couldn't help but timidly asked in a soft voice, "Ah, what a sweet voice, my baby girl. Her voice is just like an angel. It feels like my wounded heart." and eyes were healed.

I sighed endlessly, my thoughts already wandering to the distant future, judging the possibility of training Xiao Heitan to become the next Rogge Diva.

If there is no foul-player like Eriya, I think the possibility can even be crossed out. Xiao Heitan's voice really has an indescribable charm in it. He didn't like to talk in the past, except for repulsion. Outside the outside world, I'm afraid this is also a large part of the reason.

"It's nothing, dad was just moved to tears."

I wiped my eyes, secretly glared at Jeluka who turned her head and snickered, and said the most unintentional words this month.

"By the way, can this... still be eaten?"

Afraid that Xiao Heitan would continue to ask, I continued to ask. Sure enough, Xiao Heitan, who had a special obsession with food, was immediately diverted.

"Unfortunately, after soaking it like this, we can no longer make Morgan cakes. We can only make Morgan soup."

Xiao Heitan looked at the pot with great regret. There was already a puddle of Morgan powder in the pot that was as sticky as sand. He shook his head and said.

"..."

Mo...Morgan soup? ! !

Jeluka and I screamed silently at the same time.

It's already bad enough when made into morgan cakes, but if it's made into soup, wouldn't it be as bitter as coptis? This is definitely a torture of taste. I would rather eat the rats caught in the tomb alive.

Jeluka was also crestfallen. Even if her previous life could not be described as pampered, she was definitely comfortable with food and clothing. Even leaving aside the taste system, this food called Morgan powder also reflects the elf's preference for artistic beauty. A kind of torture.

As a result, early in the morning, the dining table of this family became a Shura battlefield. After drinking a bowl of Morgan soup, Jeluka and I were bleeding to death, our eyes were blank, and our bodies were gray-white.

Xiao Heitan drank it with gusto. To be honest, I really wanted to study how her taste system structure is different from ours.

After breakfast, it was time for Jeluka and I to "go out to work" again. To be precise, my useless father should still be unemployed.

"Stay at home, you know?"

Before leaving, I touched Xiao Heitan's head for the hundred and first time and told her this.

Xiao Heitan nodded patiently, his eyes falling on the three iron thorn flowers, as if to say, don't worry, Dad, I will definitely take good care of them.

"That's good, that's good."

I turned around and left, only taking a few steps. Thinking about it, I was still a little worried, so I turned back.

"I definitely can't do those heavy jobs anymore."

"Um."

Xiao Heitan didn't make fun of my useless look at all, but was very cooperative, nodding his head again and again, looking extremely serious.

Then, because of this, we were canceled as the idiot father and daughter by Jeluka. It’s just that the words were a bit sour. If you want to join the idiot family, just say so. Hum, maybe I will be happy and I will allow you to join. .

In the end, I felt so proud.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the three iron thorn flowers began to wither that night, and all of them had stopped growing before morning the next day...

"..."

After that, I discovered that it was not enough to just rely on the little common sense of flower planting. The theoretical foundation must be laid well. The reason for the withering was very simple, because I was digging the soil around the mine. Not to mention the water permeability, using these strong alkaline When planting flowers in the soil, even if Xiao Heitan is the reincarnation of the Flower Fairy, they won't survive. In fact, on the night I planted them, the roots had already corroded away. The next day, the flowers that Xiao Heitan spent all day caring for were already gone. They were three poor little flowers that were destined to die.

Little Heitan cried all night because of this, and the next day, I didn't feel hard at all but had to pretend to be hard. I went to Mount Aris and brought back three iron thorn flowers and soil. Finally, I finally I have realized my dream of growing flowers. Of course, these are things in the future.

We had just stepped out of the house, and we didn't know that a small seed of tragedy had been planted last night. We only occasionally shiver and felt an inexplicable chill.

Now, Jeluka and I are discussing what to do next.

Why does Xiao Heitan feel that if he doesn't work, he is useless and will be abandoned? In this regard, in addition to the possible harshness or even domestic violence of parents, there is another factor that cannot be ignored.

That's money.

Because you are a poor person, it is already very difficult to support yourself, not to mention having to bring a child who can only eat and cannot do any work. It is really troublesome. Poor families with this kind of thinking are not just Xiao Heitan. This is the only one.

Xiao Heitan has this idea, and the fundamental reason why he has been treated harshly is because of poverty. Just imagine, if you are from a wealthy family, how can you make a child under ten years old have the idea that "if you don't work, you will be punished"? Sell” idea?

In other words, it is still a question of money, right? The most important thing is to make Xiao Heitan feel at ease, and no longer have to worry about abandoning or selling her because of poverty. And the best way is...

Jeluka kept staring at me.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, but as a mother from a [poor family], is it really okay to just let the father work alone?"

Being stared at by Zeluka with clear meaning, my scalp numbed, and I couldn't help but retort.

"I'm going to the library."

Jeluka turned his head to the other side and hummed softly.

This lazy guy... has a character that will immediately get lazy whenever he has a chance. He looks very similar to himself no matter how he looks at it.

"Obviously yesterday I wanted to burn down the library." I exposed Jeluka's lies with cold words.

"Isn't it natural for a prince to support himself as a personal maid?" Jeluka breathed out and immediately found another reason.

"Sorry, I have no intention of paying a lazy maid."

"Ugh, do you still have to work even though you have given your most precious body? What a devil..." Jeluka muttered in frustration.

"Don't make it sound like that's true, you bastard!! And what do you mean by that? It's like you're selling your body just so you don't have to work. How far do you have to sell your integrity before you're willing to give up? .”

I angrily pinched Jeluka's face and pulled it. Even if I knew that this guy was just making dirty jokes and was joking, this statement still made me angry! !

"Woo... Wuwu..." Jeluka wailed.

For a while...

"Okay... okay, anyway, I'm just a poor maid who can't resist. Even if I'm ordered to take off my clothes and do a shameful dance in the garden, I can't resist."

Jeluka rubbed her hot cheeks, turned her head, and said with evasive eyes.

Is it my imagination? This guy... seemed to be a little happy. His face seemed to be rosier than when he was rubbed just now, and he looked like someone who couldn't help but complain, "Why are you so shy?"

Are you happy being rubbed by me like that? Could it be that the unintentional action just now inspired her hidden M attribute?

I looked at Jeluka’s strange expression and behavior in confusion.

never mind……

"As long as you know, give me work, work, and those who don't work will not get food." Seeing that this dirty maid rarely gave in, I started preaching a little happily.

"that……"

Jeluka rubbed her sleeves, like a lady going out for the first time, her face turned red and she looked at me shyly.

By the way, did she really listen to what I said just now?

"I...I do that...His Royal Highness...really...really...mind that I...I say that? Are you really...will you be angry?"

"Huh? How do you say that?"

I was even more confused. This guy was acting strange early in the morning, even stranger than usual. Could it be a side effect of drinking Morgan soup?

"Forget it...forget it, huh, His Highness the Prince is an idiot anyway!!"

For some reason, Jeluka suddenly became angry and snorted heavily.

"His Royal Highness, you might as well be kicked to death by a hundred horses. I'll go pick wild vegetables!!"

After saying this, she angrily disappeared.

Oh, why are you angry? Tell me the reason why?

Before I had time to ask, or I was shocked by Jeluka's courage, I felt that she would be even more angry if I asked, so I could only watch her leave, and my mind was filled with questions...
