[Hunter] Lydia's Life Story I

Kuroro declined the invitation to come with me.By the time I slipped back to Martha's hut from outside in the dark, shaking my hands, he should have briefly explained my abilities to the mother and daughter.When I entered the door, two pairs of cats with similar outlines, one big and one small, opened their eyes wide, looking at me as if they were looking at an alien who suddenly airborne.

Even if he secretly feels that his abilities are blinding others, he can't help being a little shy under such gaze.I laughed dryly: "Ha, ha, it's just like what Kurolo said." After I finished speaking, I thought about it, and then simply demonstrated: "Give me a bottle of water."

A bottle of mineral water appeared out of nowhere in the cabin, and Martha and March gasped in disbelief at the same time.

In the middle of the night, the four of us stood in a circle in the open space in front of the closet. In the darkness, only half a candle in Martha's hand was illuminated.In the flickering twilight, two pairs of golden and brown eyes lit up at the same time, and it seemed to me fieryly that the atmosphere was not much different from some cult organization.

I feel a little proud, but I haven't forgotten the urgent task at hand.Holding the cool body of the bottle, I said again: "Give me another washbasin."

The plastic basin was placed on the ground between the four of us. I squatted down, unscrewed the bottle cap with my hands, and handed the water bottle to Kuroro.Kuroro took it naturally, squatted beside me, tilted the mineral water bottle slightly, poured the clear water, and poured it into the washbasin below with a splashing sound.

I quickly stretched out my hand and happily washed it with the water poured out by Kuroro - I didn't wash my hands after going to the toilet, so I felt that this hand was not my own!It wasn't until a bottle of water was poured to the bottom that I took it back with a satisfied shake of my hand. When I turned my head, I saw Martha's mother and daughter squatting beside him at some point, looking at it with the expression "You're a waste of money" I.

I hesitated for a moment, and immediately asked, "What do you... want?"

Hearing this, the little Maggie glanced at me sideways, then quickly turned her head to look at the basin of water on the ground intently, carefully stretched out a finger, and quickly tapped on the swaying water surface. After a while, he shrank back as if he was afraid of being bitten.The small cheeks are slightly puffed up... so, so cute!

"If you can...give us a bottle of water." Martha looked at me and whispered restrainedly.

I looked back at Ma Qi, gave her a big smile of encouragement, and said sweetly: "No problem! A bottle of water." I handed the new mineral water to Martha, and asked courteously: "Would you like more water?" What? Anything is fine! What about food? What do you want to eat?"

Martha clenched the brand-new mineral water bottle in her hand, her expression complicated beyond words.She was stunned for two seconds, then turned her head to look at her daughter, then turned her head to look at me seriously, and whispered with some difficulty: "No, no need, thank you, Lydia."

"Why? You're welcome." I looked at her in astonishment, and it was hard to imagine being rejected—it was fresh food!Look at what they ate before!I looked at Martha inquiringly, but saw her pursing her lips. Although her expression was heavy and melancholy, she looked at me sincerely and firmly.

She really doesn't want anything.

I can only look at Kuroro in puzzlement, what did you tell them before?Kuroro also looked at me innocently and slightly blankly, to be honest.

I had no choice but to look at Martha again, she looked at me with a very gentle look, and said softly: "These are already very good. We can't ask for more."

"Why? It's okay, this is my ability, these are all real, as much as you want..." I explained a little clumsily, like a child eager to win trust and prove himself.

"I know, Kuroro has told us." Martha said softly, "Lydia, I have received your wishes. It is me and Maggie who can't accept more."

She looked at my puzzled expression, and slowly said: "Everyone is like this, after experiencing better things, it is difficult to accept the original bad ones." She looked calm, "You guys have to leave, don't you? It would be better not to try in the first place than to have Marge readjust to a life that has suddenly changed after you're gone."

She bit her lower lip as she spoke, and looked at her daughter guiltily: "Since I can't always provide Ma Qi with better things, then I would rather she never knew what she missed, at least she never got anything better than her. It is more painful to gain and then lose.”

I never thought that I could think about things from this angle. Martha’s words made me feel enlightened, and made me re-examine this kind-hearted and soft woman, and admire her reason and determination— — Not anyone struggling in such poverty can see their own situation so clearly like her, and is willing to let go of such a large amount of wealth that is sent to them, which may be hard to come by .

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Not being greedy, not forgetting one's roots, examining oneself calmly and with restraint, and making decisive decisions are admirable qualities at any time.

I couldn't help but glanced at Ma Qi, the little girl hugged her knees and stared at the water basin in front of her, quietly listening to her mother's decision, without any objection.

I looked at Ma Qi who was sitting in a small ball, and thinking of Martha's words, I suddenly felt a kind of powerless anger and sadness - as if some people were destined for the future from birth, people and people in the same sky You are drawn into a moat, and the world tells you that you are not worthy.

But why?

I felt suffocated inexplicably, clenched my fists, and couldn't help but said, "But since it's a good experience, it's better to have it than never? Even if it's only temporary, even if it will be painful if you lose it in the end, at least she tried it and knows There are better things in this world. Is it better than being so muddled, not even knowing whether what you have is good or bad?"

Don't ask for forever, but ask for once owned, is that what you say?

Everyone has the right to know the truth, especially children born here.Just like a fish born in a turbid and cold river, even if it is destined to be swept forward by the rushing water for a short life, it is always good to jump out of the river for a moment to see the vast and bright world outside Bar?

Even if he had to fall back into the water in the end, at least this lucky little fish had seen the world it had existed in, and it turned out to be so beautiful and magnificent.Even if it ends up going back to the cold and murky river, it's a different little fish, at least it knows...

After hearing what I said, Martha couldn't help showing a pensive look after being startled.A mother, no matter what decision she makes, always wants to be good to her daughter.On the one hand, I don't want that little child to suffer any harm and pain, but on the other hand, I hope to give her the best I can, and show more beauty and possibilities to her.

Thinking of Martha's well-educated demeanor and March's shabby but very neat clothes, I have a feeling that Martha should have come from outside Meteor Street, and even used to live in good conditions.

Well, a woman from outside, even if she has had enough of the pain of losing everything, she must be reluctant. Her daughter doesn't even know what the outside looks like, and she will never have the opportunity to experience the ordinary beauty outside. .

It’s fine if I don’t have a chance. When I, who has such abilities, are sent to them by fate, I believe that Martha will be reluctant to let Ma Qi miss this opportunity, and she will spend her whole life in a daze, without even the shallow happiness that she has experienced herself. I have tasted it.

"Okay." As if making a major decision, Martha took a deep breath, looked at me fixedly, and said gratefully and solemnly: "Then I will trouble you, Lydia. While you stay here , please let Maggie take a look at that rich world."

She spoke so magnificently, as if I didn't take out some materials that are not available here, but lead a girl born in dust to know the vast world where all kinds of frosts compete for freedom, so I couldn't help but be infected by her, the spirit With a shake, great joy and heroism spontaneously appeared in the bottom of my heart.

"No problem, just leave it to me." I promised.

Even if I can't wait to pile up all the good things that Madge has never eaten and never seen in front of her, after all, we still have to take into account the impact, and we can't take out too much at once, let alone let Madge mother and daughter Too many changes, so as not to arouse the suspicion of other residents of Liuying Street.

In the next two days, the only thing I did was to completely improve the food in this family, and only replaced the old and out-of-shape clothes of Martha and her daughter with unremarkable good clothes.I have tried my best to choose similar styles carefully, and I didn’t dare to ask for brand new ones, I only chose half-new ones, but I was warned by Kuroro to keep a low profile, which made Martha’s mother and daughter very trembling, before the clothes got dirty. hardly ever go out.

Speaking of Liuying Street, there is a place to wash clothes. Although Martha's mother and daughter's original clothes are tattered and patched a lot, they are always cleaned by Martha.On Meteor Street, where drinking water is a problem, I curiously asked Martha what kind of washing method, but Martha was vague, so I stopped asking, probably not a glamorous way.

In addition to washing clothes, Liuying Street used to have a place to take a shower, and this is the first time I know that water that is not used for drinking is always a luxury in Meteor Street.On the second day after I showed Martha and her mother and daughter my abilities, Martha took Marge to the public bathhouse on the street to take a bath.The mother and daughter who came back from the wash had exactly the same bright purple hair, big and charming cat eyes, and similar and delicate faces.

But when not with me, such kindness is always politely declined by Martha with regret, or Kuroro can't see me staring at me all day long, and reminded me by pulling my cheek, it depends on the well-educated Ma Sha always let Madge get her little face dirty, so she should know that looking too good is never a good thing here.

I had no choice but to calm down, thinking of the rag doll that Kurolo had thrown away as trash in the secret room, and instead took out all kinds of toys that little girls like, especially dolls, to make Maggie happy.Kurollo was once very upset that I was chasing after Madge's ass like a dogleg (the key is that people often have a cold face and don't appreciate it), I dragged the re-dyed black shawl hair, and said to Ku Luo Luo said: "Are you jealous? There's nothing you can do about being jealous. Who told me to be a face-controller!"

The little girl's big cat eyes and arrogant expression are so cute!As for Kuroro, who was following us and biting his shirt sleeve... I'm tired of seeing such a beautiful boy who suits my taste after so many years!Here's a teething stick for you, just stay away!My sister likes loli now...

However, it is very difficult for Maqi little loli to deal with. Although after making sure that we are not a threat to them and offering unlimited supplies with both hands, Maqi has no hostility towards us, but she is still cold and never smiles. Even Martha couldn't see it and explained to us: "This child has been like this since he was a child."

Among other things, just seeing a child who has just turned six years old can always maintain his usual temper and temperament during such a long period of poverty and wealth, one knows that this child will become a great talent.In those golden eyes that are always cold, I can always see the same calmness and restraint as her mother. At a young age, I already have the style of Miss Bingshan Yu-san - I knew this girl from the first day. Can you see it? In this family, although Martha has the final say on major matters, it is the three-inch Dingmaqi kid who can really support the aura of the head of the family!

After selflessly contributing a dozen or so rag dolls (all of which are usually hidden in boxes under the bed) and all kinds of food killers such as ice cream and chocolate, Madge finally condescended to talk to me, I can always answer two out of three sentences, and occasionally I can give a smiling face (although it is to the cake, ice cream, chocolate candy), which makes Kuroro amazed (this guy is obviously envious and jealous). laugh.

Everything is possible in this world.Maybe one day, this little fish that can only jump out of the river for a quick glance today will really grow a pair of wings, fly across the vast fields, and fly into the boundless sky.

In addition to "renewing" the wardrobe at home, I also replaced the original sheets and bedding for Martha and her mother, filled the large tank with water, and even prepared two extra cups. Everything I didn't like was quietly replaced with a new one.

When it comes to food, I have tried my best these two days and racked my brains to recommend all the good foods I have tried before.Although there is no obvious effect of feeding, but once the nutrition catches up, the complexion of the mother and daughter of Martha will definitely be much better than before.

I remember the first meal (that is, the supper that night) March ate a piece of blueberry flavored cake.After taking the first bite, she was stunned for a long time on the spot, and then she buried her head and gnawed wildly. The snow-white cream stained her dirty little face, like a little tabby cat with a white beard.

I excitedly took out an instant camera on the spot, and took pictures of the little Maggie kitten. Martha covered her mouth with tears in her eyes.These precious photos are the same as I used to take in the grocery store. I saved them and buried them in the ground in a strong iron box to ensure that they will not be damaged or rotted for many years.Then, looking forward to a certain day in the future, I will bring them up again with my words, smiling and enjoying the memories of our embarrassing and happy childhood.

I hope that at that time, these lovely companions, who are a hundred times more precious than memories, can still be by my side and enjoy their embarrassing appearance with me in high spirits.
