Healing Hotel

Yu tried his best to stretch his body and probe upwards, and found the strange little boy playing in the water, so he shrank back silently.

But it didn't take long, it got bored, it wanted to play with water drops!

The rain came out quietly again, wanting to see how long the boy was going to play, but just as he stood up, he was hit head-on by a drop of water.Its water trembled, as if it was a little numb, and fell back into a puddle of water. I didn't notice it at all. The little boy had moved to the pool and squatted, and happened to see this scene.

Qiao Shu:! !

When Papa Qiao came back, Qiao Shu rushed up and said, "Papa! Water! Water moves!"

Joe's father put on a face and said, "Oh, you went to play in the water?"

Qiao Shu hurriedly said, "I didn't, I didn't! The water moves by itself!"

Qiao's father took it as a child's talk and didn't worry about it. He smiled and said, "Let's go catch loach this afternoon, okay?"

Qiao Shu immediately forgot about the rain and happily agreed.

It was only when he passed the living room when he went upstairs that he returned to a quiet look, and he was relieved when he was out of Yu Qing's sight.

Yu Qing asked: "586, can this kid see Ah Piao?"

He was wondering if the child dared not talk to other people, whether it was a psychological barrier caused by some kind of shadow.

I remember when he was a child, he found A Piao for the first time, and there was a period of time when he didn't dare to talk to strangers at all.

"Host, you are thinking too much. Yin and Yang eyes are not Chinese cabbage. How could it be so coincidental that you will meet them all." 586 lazily said.

Not good.Yu Qing continued to rest assured to do her own thing.The sun is good recently, just to dry the straw.He also wondered whether to keep two pigs, but considering that the hotel had guests, he decided to forget it.

Besides, he really didn't have the extra energy to take care of the pigs.He came back to recuperate, not to make a fortune by farming.So every day, I grow vegetables, water the flowers, tease the dog, and fiddle with food when I have nothing to do, which is very good.

Although Chen Jin complains from time to time, he has stepped into the rhythm of retirement at a young age.

"Look at the excitement outside. People drive all the way from the city to work in the fields and fish. Boss Xiaoyu, I haven't seen you go out to play... eh!"

Yu Qing cut a piece of watermelon to block his mouth, and said, "I'll just have a look."

Xiao Xiao gnawed on the melon and said, "The boss doesn't have time to go out to play, he just needs to see the store."

The watermelon fills the well water, it is cool, and it is very pleasant to eat in the summer afternoon.Yu Qing handed it over to the little boy's family.

Qiao Shu hesitated and took it.

It seems that as long as he doesn't speak, he won't be scared.

"Xiaoshu, say thank you." Father Qiao said.

The little boy bowed his head without speaking, staring at the watermelon in his hand.

"Good boy, say thank you to uncle, our Qiao Shu is a polite child, right?" Qiao's mother said softly.

Qiao Shu almost lowered his head to his chest.

After a long time, he mustered up his courage and whispered to the watermelon, "Thank you."

It's okay, but I never dared to look up.

Joe's father rubbed his head and said with an apologetic smile, "Hey, the child is shy."

Chen Jin noticed them, and greeted them: "Where did you come from? Are the children in school? What grade are you in? Oh, the second grade is so small! Is farmhouse fun?"

Although he asked Qiao Shu, the little boy was obviously frightened again, with a "squeaky" expression on his face, he moved to hide behind his mother, so the couple could only answer for him.

Perhaps because he didn't like too many people, after eating a piece of melon, the little boy quietly stayed away from the adults' topic, told his parents that he wanted to watch TV, and ran to the living room to sit and watch TV by himself.

The sofa is soft, and the room is not too hot, so it is very comfortable.Qiao Shu sat down for the first time and almost fell into the sofa.

So soft!It's like sitting on a marshmallow!

Fortunately, the adults were chatting outside, and no one saw his embarrassment just now.So he quickly sat upright, put his hands on his knees obediently, and watched TV.

It's showing... Plant World or something on TV, right?Qiao Shu doesn't know foreign languages ​​very well.

Of course, he wasn't looking either, he was staring elsewhere.

"...Yes, I went to the hospital and saw that he was a little autistic. Hey, although we couldn't believe it, he was actually quite normal when he was at home. His grades in the first year of school were not bad, Who knows that he has fallen recently, the teacher said that he reads texts in school very quietly, does not answer questions, and does not talk to classmates..."

"We...~! @# :-)..."

"We have contacted a specialized treatment institution, but the course of treatment is very long, and he is unwilling to go, so he simply stopped talking to us because of this, there is no way..."

……

Qiao Shu sat motionless, listening to the low voices of his parents outside interlaced with the voices on the TV. He was a little distracted, so that he didn't even know that someone was sitting next to him!

That man is tall and heavy, must be a grown-up!

He didn't dare to move or watch, he didn't even dare to watch TV, he could only stare at his shoes.

Until a bag of... Potato chips moved in front of my eyes.

"Hmm~" the man said in a voice.There was only one syllable, but he recognized that it meant to let him eat.

Qiao Shu didn't dare to move.Potato chips are placed on his lap.

……

"Hey, don't worry too much. Our Zhang Shu doesn't like to talk too much. He's such a big man... I think if it's a competition who talks the least, your child may not win him." A hearty male voice said .

"Oh Chen Jin, when did Zhang Shu become your family's?" the female voice raised her voice.

"Hey, He Xue, don't be so stingy, Boss Xiaoyu has no objection..."

……

Before Qiao Shu could finish listening to the discussion outside, another pack of Melissa was stacked on top of the potato chips.

This time, even the "um~" was omitted.

Qiao Shu couldn't help becoming curious, and took a sneak peek. The person beside him... looked like he came out of an ancient costume TV series, with long clothes and wide sleeves.

Then he also discovered that this grown-up was actually less talkative than him!

Qiao Shu seemed to have found his little friend all of a sudden.

When I came back from playing outside with my parents in the afternoon, I started searching for Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu was busy in the vegetable field, so he quietly stood aside and watched. After watching for a long time, he was able to pass a tool to him.Zhang Shu didn't speak, just nodded to him.

Qiao Shu also nodded.

Sometimes without even looking at him, he hooked his hands together, and Qiao Shu followed him in a hurry.

"..." Yu Qing couldn't understand how the two communicated.

Father Qiao stood in front of the house with him and watched, hesitantly said: "Your friend...can't speak too? If there is a language barrier, I can help you get in touch..."

In the vegetable field over there, Qiao Shu pricked up his ears.

"He will." Yu Qing said with a smile, "But it depends on the mood. Generally, he only speaks when he is in a good mood."

Qiao Shu: "!!!"

So the big brother didn't talk because he was in a bad mood? !

Qiao Shu was a little lost in a daze, and didn't even know when Zhang Shu went back to the house to watch TV.

He was not in the mood to watch TV anymore, and went to catch water drops under the eaves, sighing.He didn't know why, but when he thought of talking to someone he didn't know well, his mind went blank and his throat tightened.

He has been playing by himself since he was a child, and only his grandparents talk to him, and he gradually got used to it.Later... when he spoke, he couldn't always look at people. When he saw people, he couldn't speak anymore and had to look at other things.The classmates thought he was a weird person, and gradually stopped talking to him.

But Mom and Dad said that he has to learn to communicate with people normally, otherwise he will have no friends in the future... hey.

Qiao Shu was in a daze.Suddenly, there was a blur in front of my eyes, and a white animal fell from the sky.Snow-white fur, strong limbs, falling lightly, is as beautiful as in a myth.

Fox, fox!Qiao Shu shouted excitedly.He had seen such an animal in the zoo and recognized it immediately.But this fox was different from anything he had ever seen, whether it was in a zoo or in a book.It's big, proud, and light, like an elegant... lady?gentleman?

Qiao Shu struggled with his gender, but in the next second he saw the fox shaking its fur, stretching its neck and shouting, "Xiao Yu! I'm back. Tonight I want to eat roast chicken! Braised pork!"

!!!

Qiao Shu was startled and said, "Say, did you talk?!"

Immediately, he noticed that the fox's eyes turned around, staring at him very coldly, as if it wanted to eat people.

Qiao Shu's heart skipped a beat.

He he he heard the fox talking!Also found!Is this a vixen?He's afraid he's going to die!

Unexpectedly, the fox stared at it for a long time, but only squinted his eyes, and said, "Don't play with water droplets, those are rain's toys."

"Eh?!" Qiao Shu foolishly followed his gaze to look at his hands, and then took advantage of the opportunity to see the anxious left and right in the pool below... water?

The water flow is arched, with two bubbles on top, and the water swirls inside, like two aggrieved eyes.

Qiao Shu let go and wiped his eyes, only to see a pool of water again.

strangeness……

But no matter what, no fox can speak strangely!

Qiao Shu secretly followed the fox, and found that after it entered the house, it stopped talking.After going to the ladies and sisters for a round of cuteness, I got a bunch of snacks and came back. I jumped on the sofa, took the best position to watch TV, grabbed the remote control next to Zhang Shu, and started pressing and pressing to change channels.

Qiao Shu:! ! !

Zhang Shu: "Look at the Fox Fairy Matchmaker again."

Fox: "Huh!"

Qiao Shu: "..."

He sat down quietly.As usual, Zhang Shu was not talkative, so he poured him a cup of tea.After a while, Fox's paw pushed him a pack of beef jerky.

……

So when Yu Qing and Dad Qiao entered the room, they saw three sitting on the sofa, sharing snacks with each other and complaining——

Zhang Shu said blankly: "I don't like this. What about you kid?"

Qiao Shu was flattered: "I, I also..."

Hu Er: "Hmph!"

……

Yu Qing: "..."

Fortunately, Hu Er only snorted and didn't speak.And Joe's father didn't seem to be paying attention to the fox, but was staring at his son intently.

Zhang Shu over there is asking: "Do you want to eat candy?"

Qiao Shu stammered: "I, my parents, don't let me..."

"Spicy strips?"

"Don't let..."

"It's harsh."

"Woooo..."

Joe's father: "..."

This was a quiet chat. The conversation between the big and the small kept the rhythm of a few words per person, but it was surprisingly harmonious.

Yu Qing pulled Papa Qiao with moist eyes and left quietly.

"Look, if you find a friend, he can talk." Yu Qing comforted him.Although he didn't know, it was Zhang Shu's credit or something to do with the old house.

Father Qiao sighed: "He really doesn't have many friends, and it's also because we were too negligent before."

Then he tiptoed upstairs, cheerfully about to share the good news with his wife.

Yu Qing just sat outside the house and continued to eat melons. The sound of summer cicadas came at some point, "I got it—I got it—" repeated over and over again, but it was not annoying at all.

Chen Jin was in a panic when he was idle, when he heard the sound of cicadas, he proposed to catch them.

Yu Qing didn't move, and told him that as long as he didn't touch the camphor tree, he could catch it anyway.

But the old house said: "He can't catch it."

Yu Qing was surprised: "Why?"

The old house said slowly: "I have blocked the sound of cicadas outside. It is Zhichan. It is a kind of emotional thing that can echo with people. It is transparent and small. No one can see it. It can only be heard by the sound. Look for it. When people see it, it disappears. I heard that there is a little human race who can't speak naturally. When they found it by accident, they suddenly opened their mouths and became eloquent."

"This is a very strange emotional thing, bred by the troubles that can't speak. But after they appear, they are often a good medicine to cure that person." The old house said and wondered: "This should be the child's Emotions, but before he found Zhichan, he started to talk, strange..."

He asked again: "Does Xiaoyu really not want to catch Zhichan? I know where it is. Since the person who spawned it hasn't seen it, it can help other people who can't speak!"

"!!!"

Yu Qing couldn't sit still.
