There was a slight smile on Yaeji's face, Sirin's appearance reminded him of Kallen a long time ago, and Kallen was so cute when she was a child.
The car door opened, and the cold wind raging on the Siberian Ice Field couldn't wait to pour into the car. Even Sirin, who had lived in the ice and snow for a long time, felt the bone-chilling chill.
The eyelashes in the shape of a small cattail fan trembled slightly, and those golden eyes suddenly opened! Xilin looked like a frightened little lion, and suddenly looked at Yazhongji who was standing beside the car.
Her mind had not yet fully recovered, and her little face was a little puzzled. Xilin tilted her head and asked in a daze, "Brother A Ji?"
"En." Yazhongji responded, stretched out his hand to unfasten the seat belt on Xilin's body, and then passed his hands under the little girl's armpit, and with a little force, Xilin was hugged out.
The cold wind outside was more violent than inside the half-open carriage, like a wild beast with its sharp fangs fully unfurled, launching an attack on Sirin.
The cold wind quickly condensed frost on those long eyelashes, and Sirin's head was frozen by the cold for a moment, and the sleepiness dissipated, and the memories of the past half month flooded back.
"Mom..." Recalling my mother's last words and the pictures I saw in the mortuary, thinking that I would never see that familiar figure again when I returned to my hometown, the girl's highly developed lacrimal glands Hot tears were secreted, sliding down the pretty face, before they hit the snow surface, they turned into crystal ice crystals.
Boom~
Yazhongji closed the car door, carried Xilin into the house.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
For a girl like Xilin who has experienced great sorrow, Yaeji has seen and comforted a lot. To put it bluntly, he can be considered handy.
In the first week, Sirin hardly spoke, and sat on the bench all day long, curled up and looked out the window. Occasionally, she would go back to her house to clean it, but every time she cried so much.
Sirin, who was dependent on her mother for life, reacted worse than other children after losing her mother.
After half a month passed, Xilin's mood gradually stabilized, and Yazhongji started to prepare for the funeral.
Few people attended the funeral. There were few people in the village, and most of them were sick. Those who were capable went to big cities for treatment, and those who had no money stayed at home to die.
Xilin didn't think her mother's old acquaintance, and Yaeji had no way of notifying her.
A week after the funeral, Sirin, who had been baptized in grief again, had roughly recovered. When playing with Bella and the others at home, a smile gradually appeared on her little face.
It's just... Yaeji found that Xilin's dependence on him had reached its peak, and as long as Xilin didn't find him in sight, she would fall into panic.
"Okay, okay, don't play flying chess, come and have some snacks and rest for a while." Yazhongji placed the homemade pastries on the table, and Xilin cheered, calling her friends to come to the table.
Yazhongji glanced at the chessboard, and it was not difficult to see that Xilin was about to lose.
"Agata, hurry up and taste it, brother Aji's cooking is delicious!" Sirin urged a red-haired girl showing off, it was her first time to play here.
"Thank you, Brother Aji." Bella, who has long light purple hair, greeted very politely, then turned to look at Agata, and said seriously: "Brother Aji's cooking is really delicious, I won't lie to you .”
"I'm starting!" Aurora, who seemed to be the oldest, smiled at Yae Ji, and couldn't wait to enjoy the pastry in front of her.
Yaeji folded his hands on his chest, and the smile on his face never stopped. After all, he also opened a dessert shop in the last era, worked as a pastry chef for a long time, and enjoyed a good reputation in the schools in the nearby neighborhood. , It's really easy to take down a few little guys from the 1990s.
There are three people who have played well with Xilin in front of them, and they are all partners in the village who have played since they were young.
Bella, with a calm temper, is the one who plays best with Sirin. After she died in the Babylonian experiment, Sirin, who became a Herrscher, transformed into the companion judge-level Honkai beast 'Benares' according to her appearance.
Aurora, the older girl among the four, has long dark green hair and golden eyes similar to Sirin's. It is said that before the accident at home, she learned dance from a teacher in a big city for a period of time. After she died in the Babylonian experiment, Sirin used it as a template to create a Pseudo-Hersherrs who possessed part of the power of the Herrscher of Wind, and controlled the Gem of Desire.
Agata, a cheerful red-haired girl, just came here for the first time, she didn't let go, and looked a little reserved. After her death, Sirin used it as a template to create a Pseudo-Hersherrs who possessed some of the powers of the Herrscher of Fire and controlled the Plague Gem.
Yaeji recalled the information compiled by Aiyi, and there was also a "herrscher of death" Galina who controlled the gem of tranquility, but that was a partner that Xilin met in the laboratory, not from the same village.
The happy time is always short, Bella and others bid farewell. Since the strange disease in the village has been raging, almost all the young and middle-aged laborers have been recruited, and only a small number of women are still able to work.
People like Bella, in this environment, are already an important labor force in the family, taking care of the seriously ill father, helping the mother, or other things, it is always useful to their place.
The reason why he came to play with Xilin was because of Yaeji's influence on their parents. When the little ones left, he would prepare some food for them to take away.
Girls at Bella's age naturally don't think too much, they are naturally willing to play without having to work and eat some delicious food.
The older Aurora may understand something, but she doesn't say anything.
Another half moon passed in the blink of an eye, and Bella and the others rarely came to play with Sirin these days.
The men who were eroded by the special Houkai and unable to heal died one by one, and even dead men were born!
After a small-scale chaos in the village, the dead were considered eliminated. The village chief notified upwards that he would send people there. As for when they would come, only they themselves knew.
The funeral took place almost every day, and the small village, which was already silent in the ice and snow, seemed to be even more silent.
These did not affect Sirin who was well protected by Yaeji. At this time, Sirin had gained a little weight, and the baby fat on her small face was more pleasing to the touch.
Sirin was sitting on the bench, her short legs were swinging back and forth, her hands were holding her face, and she was staring at Yaeji making pastries.
Only at this time, she is most at ease.
ding ding ding~
Yaeji, who had just put the cake in the oven, heard the doorbell ring.
After washing his hands casually, Yaeji looked at Sirin, who also looked at him.
"Bella and the others won't come at this time, it's probably them again." Sirin blinked her eyes.
Yazhongji shook his head, these days he was invited to attend the funeral, but this time, the man outside the door was obviously not from the village.
