Chapter 107 The Secret of the Steamed Bun

Ten minutes later, Lulu looked at the little boy in front of him with a flattering smile and was angry for no reason.

"Luoluo, it's not good for him to stay here alone."

Luoluo helped him tidy up the floor bed and comforted him, "But he has nowhere to go, so it's fine to keep him here for a few days."

"Our place is not an orphanage for human beings. What if he insists on not leaving?"

"Don't worry, I will pay more attention to the surrounding towns recently, and once there is a suitable place, I will send him away."

Lulu looked at the little devil following behind Luoluo, sighed helplessly, turned and went back to the bedroom.

"Ah~ I don't want to worry about it anymore. If you lose something by then, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Got it, you go to bed."

Luoluo prepared the living utensils for the little devil, and when he got into the quilt, he turned off the lights.

What Lulu didn't expect was that the little boy was really well-behaved.

Except for the sneaky behavior when it first appeared, there was nothing abnormal.Not only that, but he also does all the housework.

Lulu was sitting in the shop with her chin resting on her chin, and was amazed at how busy the boy was.

"Hey, kid, I haven't asked your name yet?"

In the kitchen, the boy was picking fish scales, Lulu watched his skillful movements, and couldn't help but strike up a conversation.

"My name is Mantou."

The boy smiled and continued to work with his head down.

"Steamed bun? What a sloppy name, why did your parents give you such a name?"

"I don't have parents, and my adoptive father gave me the name. He said that the name Mantou has a good meaning, so I won't starve to death if I can't get enough food."

Mantou spoke very calmly, and even felt a little bit of joy.Lulu looked at the smile on his face, and suddenly couldn't bear to chat anymore.

"Little ghost, isn't your adoptive father in a hurry if you don't go back?"

Lulu turned around and looked at the ceiling, trying to change the subject.

"No, he's dead."

The topic did not change successfully, but fell into another pit.Lulu did not dare to turn around to look at Mantou's clear eyes, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "I think you are very hardworking. As long as you don't steal anything, then you can stay."

With a "bang bang", Mantou dropped the things in his hand, ran to Lulu's side, and jumped up happily.

"Really? Thank you sister Lulu, I promise I won't steal anything in the future."

Speaking of steamed buns, he happily ran to the shop.Lulu looked at the direction he was leaving, and heard Mantou's cheerful voice coming from the shop.

"Sister Luoluo, Sister Lulu agreed with me to stay!"

This kind of laughter made Lulu feel a little sad. She looked at the happy buns in the room, and lowered her head and chuckled.

Mantou is really hardworking. During the three days he came, the hut was always spotless.Even though he worked tirelessly from morning to night every day, he never showed boredom and sadness on his face.

He is like a pistachio that is always happy, exuding warm sunshine all day long.

Until the middle of the night, Lulu woke up in a daze, and found Mantou's empty little bed.

"Oops, he didn't steal something and ran away."

Lulu jumped up, without waking Luoluo up, she tiptoed out of the window by herself.

"Hmph, brat, you're pretending well. Wait until I catch you and see what you do."

Following a line of small footprints on the snow outside, Lulu found the steamed bun easily.But she didn't expect that she just found Mantou, looked at Mantou sitting by Luoxing Lake from a distance, and put a hand on her shoulder.

Almost screamed out.

Lulu covered her mouth and looked at Luoluo behind her, almost strangling Luoluo to death.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death."

Lulu yelled softly, but Luoluo asked back, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to catch that kid. I don't sleep most of the night, so I want to see what he wants to do."

After hearing Lulu's words, Luoluo flew into the shop with Lulu's back collar without saying a word.

"Hey? Luoluo, what are you doing, let me down, I haven't solved the case yet!"

Back in the store, watching Luoluo with a calm face lit the small lamp and drank a glass of water, Lulu rushed to Luoluo and complained depressedly: "It's all your fault, if it wasn't for you, I would have caught him stealing tonight." evidence of something."

"What are you catching? He didn't steal anything."

"How do you know! It's all an illusion, it's just to win our trust."

Before Lulu finished speaking, Luoluo took out something and put it on the desk.

"A pendant? What's the use?"

"This is something that Mantou brought with him. He took it off when I asked him to change his clothes on the first day. Maybe he forgot it, so I put it away."

"and then?"

"I put it in a brocade box and read its memory. Then I found that what he said was indeed true. That night, it was the first time he stole something. Because he was hungry for three days, he was so hungry, Lost in Aurora City again."

Looking at the pendant, Lulu couldn't help asking Luoluo: "Then why did he go to Luoxing Lake in the middle of the night? He was sneaky. I thought he was going to bury those stolen things."

"He was going to cry."

"Crying? I think he is usually very cheerful and has nothing on his mind. Why are you crying?"

"Crying for his adoptive father."

Lulu stopped talking for a while.After a long silence, she took up the cold water in front of her and drank it in one gulp.

"He spoke so freely that day, like a normal person, I thought his adoptive father treated him badly, that's why."

Luoluo put away the pendant, got up calmly, and was about to go to sleep.

"That's just a disguise. He has a thick layer of armor in his heart, which has already wrapped himself up. It will take a long time for him to fully trust us."

Lulu quickly turned off the light, followed closely behind Luoluo and said, "Luoluo, don't leave. I haven't asked many things yet. I really want to know what happened to him. I didn't have the nerve to ask him that day."

Luoluo got into the quilt, closed her eyes and said calmly: "Wait, he will tell us by himself in a short time. Don't keep looking at him with pity, some people can't stand that kind of look." of."

Lulu nodded, got under the quilt and hugged Luoluo, rubbing against her: "I know, I know, I don't like that look, but I can't help it, Luoluo, you are so warm."

There was no accident, the next day Mantou was still the same Mantou, with a bright smile like a little sun, like a normal person.

Luoluo flipped through the book in her hand, but remained calm.Lulu, on the other hand, jumped up and down in a panic.After a while, I want to talk to Mantou.

"Sister Lulu, why are you acting weird today?"

Mantou looked at her with a depressed expression and blinked at her.Lulu can only perfunctory the past.

When it was getting dark, Lulu rubbed against Mantou again and asked him, "Mantou, do you know what our store does?"

Mantou looked at her and shook his head.

"We are a store that sells wishes. Do you have any wishes?"
