Healing Hotel

This day, firewood was in short supply, so Yu Qing decided to go into the mountains.Hu Er led the way, and Li Qiuyou followed to help.

There is still a road in the forest at the beginning, but as it gets deeper, it disappears.But Yu Qing was not in a hurry, and walked around slowly while picking up dead branches.With Hu Er around, they can walk casually without fear of getting lost.

Backing people, the mountain is the biggest natural treasure house.

The mountains on the back of Lingquan Village include taller rocky mountains and hilly belts, stretching and connecting, especially dense.There are not only lush vegetation in this mountain, but also a variety of wild fruits. People who go to the mountain in summer must pick twisted seeds.Raspberries, wild grapes, eucalyptus, wild jujube, longevity fruit... There are many others that Yu Qing can't name.

Hu Er is an expert, as long as he says it can be eaten, he must be right.As long as he nods, Yu Qing will pick some, there are more twist seeds, and he plans to use it to make twist twist wine.Niu Kang Guo is light green, small in size, a bite, a bit bitter, but like Solanum nigrum, it is not bad after bitterness.

Jujubes are green and yellow, soft when ripe, sweet and sour, and have very special patterns on the core.Perhaps because no one interferes and grows freely, this sour jujube tree is very tall, it seems to be more than ten meters.

Yu Qing remembered that there was a pomelo tree in Aunt Liu's house, which was more than ten meters high.There is also a guava tree, which is very free and unrestrained, and it grows crookedly, and it is as high as three stories.By the way, his camphor tree is also very tall.

At no time in the mountains, when they came back, it was already afternoon, and the little man in the pocket had already started to play the trumpet boredly.

In the yard, Zhang Shu was plucking straw, saying that he was going to weave a straw hat.In the room, 586 is yawning to accompany the guests.

The guests are two little guys, one is a little taller and very mature.The other looked younger and smaller.

However, as soon as Yu Qing approached and heard them speak, he realized that the taller one was an adult.When I registered, I saw that I was 35 years old on my ID card.

The other is his son, Tan Zifang, who is only ten years old, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, just like his father, and looks very cute.

And Dad Tan may have a baby face and short stature, so at first glance he looks like a primary school student.

Tan Zifang didn't look energetic, it was useless for Tan's father to tease him, he could only watch him go upstairs sullenly.

Tan's father said helplessly: "This kid has been angry with me since he was a child. He thinks I'm short and feels ashamed. I usually have to pick him up and drop him off at school, but he won't let me."

He is usually very busy at work, because he wanted to please his son and deepen his relationship, so he took a vacation and took him on a trip together, but the child was not so happy along the way.

"If I had known this, I would have asked her mother to bring him out." Father Tan said depressingly.

Dad Tan is more than 1.5 meters tall, which is indeed short for a grown man.But he himself was quite optimistic, he didn't care that much, instead he showed it to Yu Qing frankly: "I'm still wearing underwear..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw his son come down suddenly, choked up, coughed a few times, and changed the subject: "The shoes of this brand are easy to wear, and don't tire your feet..."

Yu Qing said: "Hu Er, take someone out to have fun."

The fox was pressing the remote control and didn't want to move, so he turned his head to stare at 586, wagging his tail as a gesture of goodwill.

586:"……"

In the end, 586 went to coax the child.

When Yu Qing went out, he found him sitting lazily on one side, while the little boy was squatting and masturbating the little cock.There is 586 here, Hell Chicken will come over if asked, squat when asked to squat, spread wings when asked, and when the little boy is enough to take a group photo, he will quietly let him touch his feathers.

"It's a rooster, why is it called cluck?"

"Because it clucks."

"You lied, isn't that what the rooster crows, and the hen crows like that."

"What's the name of the rooster?"

The little boy imitated a very vivid "Oh oh oh~"

586 patted his head: "Little cock is good~"

Tan Zifang: "..."

It's over, if 586 doesn't play with A Piao, he will bully others instead.

Fortunately, this kid probably likes the little rooster very much, and the rooster listened to 586, so he pretended he didn't hear what he said just now.

So after a while he asked again: "Can a rooster beat a goose?"

586, especially not good at chatting, said, "Have you been bullied by geese?"

Tan Zifang: "..."

Dad Tan followed and heard it, he laughed and said: "There was a big white goose on the way just now, the eldest one, it's amazing, fortunately we ran fast."

Tan Zifang's face turned even darker.It seems that the experience is really unbearable.

But he said nothing.As soon as Dad Tan came, he became a boring gourd.

"Hey, you're still blaming me." Papa Tan sighed, and went back to the living room silently.

Yu Qing said: "Where, I don't think he is so angry."

586 doesn't know how to speak human words, so he doesn't have a temper.Moreover, although he doesn't talk to his father very much, he is still obedient, taking things when asked, drinking water when asked, washing hands when asked, and his actions are very straightforward.

So Yu Qing felt that the child was in a bad mood, and there might be other reasons.

Tan's father said helplessly, "I hope so."

Then in the blink of an eye, when Yu Qing went out again, the two of them had already disappeared.

"586, where's the person?" Fortunately, Yu Qing can still communicate with the system consciousness.

"I'm playing chasing geese outside." 586 said.

"..."

Yu Qing told him not to lose the baby, and it's best to come back quickly, so that Dad Tan won't see anyone and worry.

586 suddenly said: "Host, is the goose delicious?"

Yu Qing asked him: "Have you brought any money?"

586:"……"

The two returned soon.Yu Qing happened to move all the glass bottles with pickled fruits out to bask in the sun, when he saw 586 suddenly running back with Tan Zifang under his arm.

The child came down in a daze, rested for a while, and then started talking again and again——

"Can I be as tall as you in the future?"

"That will be much later."

"how long?"

586 was stumped, stopped Zhang Shu and asked, "Old Zhang, how long did it take you to grow so tall?"

Zhang Shu dialed his little abacus and said, "More than 200 years."

Tan Zifang: "!!" The adults must be teasing him!

586 unreliably concluded: "So, you have to live longer."

Tan Zifang looked at him, then at Zhang Shu, and said in a dazed cooperation, "Oh... I, I will work hard."

Yu Qing: "..."

Although a little speechless, Zhang Shu and 586's Shura body is indeed taller than ordinary people, even taller than him.

Tan Zifang said again: "Then can my father grow taller again?"

Dad Tan came over to eavesdrop, and immediately sighed again.

586 said: "I can't."

The child was really disappointed.

586 said: "But this does not affect your growth."

Tan Zifang said dejectedly: "But my classmate said, my father is so short, I will definitely be a dwarf in the future. I am also the shortest in the class now..."

586 was already on the reclining chair, opened his closed eyes again, looked at him seriously, and said, "It doesn't make sense, your bone development is normal."

The child was suddenly ecstatic: "Really?"

586 vowed: "Believe me, I have a lot of research on bones. I have seen more skeleton bones than you have eaten rice."

Tan Zifang: "Hmmmm...huh?!" It seemed that something was wrong, but I didn't care!

Afterwards, the child finally became much happier. He had nothing to do and learned how to make a scarecrow with Zhang Shu.Seeing him smiling, Father Tan also relaxed, and the father and son did it together.

Yu Qing felt much more at ease.The child's troubles are gone, and there should be no strange little things tomorrow.

Just in case, before going to bed, he still asked the old house: "In your world, what will breed the emotion of fear of not growing taller?"

"Hey..." the old house thought for a while, "I only know that the giants had such troubles, because they were worried that they would not grow high enough, and they bred a kind of umbrella tree."

"umbrella……?"

"Yes." The old house carefully recalled, "A tree like an umbrella, the giant will grow as tall as it grows, until the giant reaches adulthood. So in the hometown of the giants, there will be an umbrella forest. Their holy place. When the giants grow up, they will continue to grow even if they don’t take care of them, but at a slower rate. Their canopy is very wide, and their leaves are like white clouds, which is very beautiful.”

A tree with clouds...?

So the next day Yu Qing came together and started to look at the clouds in the sky.

The old man said happily: "The umbrella tree was not very tall at first."

Yu Qing turned around and didn't find any strange trees.But when he returned to the porch and met Papa Tan face to face, he was taken aback.

On top of Papa Tan's head, there are two leaves!

But when Tan Zifang came down, Yu Qing noticed that the child was normal, and there were no strange plants growing on his head.

This……

Yu Qing secretly asked: "The old house, the umbrella tree... can people see it?"

The old man said, "That's not an umbrella tree."

Yu Qing: "...What is that?"

The two leaves are like newly unearthed Miao Miao, hanging down and sticking close to the hair.

"This is..." The old house studied for a long time, but also wondered: "This is the symbol of the little people."

"what?!"

Lao Zhai explained: "The little people in our world all grow such things. Many people have two leaves on their heads, some have one, and some can't see it. Because of degeneration, the emotional seeds don't germinate at all.

"It is said that a long time ago, the ancestors of the small people wanted to be as tall as normal people, but under the suppression of the blood, the leaf had little effect. Moreover, they found that people liked the small people very much, and gradually accepted their own height, the leaf The function of the leaf is completely degraded. The leaf can absorb the power of the sun and provide nutrition for the owner. Of course, it also has many other uses."

Yu Qing looked at Papa Tan's head.Not sure if this leaf...can still be used?

Dad Tan asked inexplicably: "Why do you keep staring at me? Is it because I haven't washed my face clean?"

Yu Qing quickly shook his head, and asked Tan Zifang when he would get up, and he took the time to make breakfast together.

Dad Tan went back to his room and called.

But after a while, he came down in a panic, holding a mirror, and whispered: "I, I, I, I have leaves growing on my head! Did you see it?"

Yu Qing: "!!"

He can see!

Yu Qing pretended to look at it carefully, hesitating whether to say he saw it or not.

The old man said: "Only he can see this leaf."

Yu Qing shook his head. "No ah."

Father Tan was stunned for a moment, but relaxed instead. He looked at the mirror and muttered, "Really? It seems that my eyes are dazzled..."

He put down the mirror as he walked back, touching the leaves on top of his head from time to time.

Yu Qing hesitated: "Is there really no need to remind him? What if..."

If he pulls the leaf off, it won't bleed or anything?

"No, Ye Zi will teach him how to do it." The old god of the old house said.

Sure enough, Father Tan studied Mantian, tried to pull it, and found that the leaves were as strong as rooted hair.Pulling harder, the pain made him grit his teeth.He became honest.

When the tenants came down and no one noticed his strange behavior, not even his son, he relaxed even more.Let it grow, no one will see it anyway.

Tan Zifang relieved his knot, and gradually began to talk to his father.

Dad Tan tentatively said, "Then next time after school, can I pick you up?"

The child lowered his head for a long time and said, "I'm afraid that my classmates will laugh at you. I don't like them saying bad things about Dad."

Papa Tan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "It's okay, Papa is an adult now, so he doesn't care about it."

Tan Zifang didn't know what he was thinking, but he mustered up his courage and said, "Next time someone laughs at you, I'll beat them up!"

Only now did Tan's father know what his son was thinking.It turned out that he was not allowed to pick him up, and he didn't want to walk with him because he didn't want to hear others laughing at him for being short... He was very happy. The son didn't blame him, but he was apologizing for him.

He quickly said: "Fighting is not good, and it is easy to get injured. Let's change the method."

Moreover, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that maybe he could still grow taller.

After a little longer, Dad Tan found that the leaves seemed to be able to absorb heat.In the past, when the weather was like this, his hair would start to get hot after exposure to the sun, but since the leaves grew, his head was always cool.In winter, it is warm again, as if releasing heat.

Moreover, he once swam and found that the leaf can still breathe!But in order not to be seen as abnormal, he always has to pay attention to the time at the bottom and come up quickly.

Papa Tan is so precious.

……

The father and son left happily.

When he came back after a long time, Yu Qing found that Papa Tan's leaves were still there, and it seemed that he had grown taller.And Tan Zifang beside him has already started to grow taller than his father.

It's just that the child was still a little depressed. Even though he had grown his head, when he passed that road again, he was still pecked by the same goose.The father and son were chased again...
