"What? I was fine when I passed yesterday..." the black cat Kate said in disbelief.
"Yesterday?" Nana sat on the stone steps above the flower bed, her legs dangling in the air, "Did you go after 'Miss Elizabeth'?"
The black cat Kate nodded indifferently, and was more concerned about the pollution of the spring water: "No, I have to tell Kan Chen about this..."
"Don't he know?" Nana raised her head belatedly, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen a crow today."
There are always a group of crows patrolling the sky, and nothing that happens in the manor can escape their eyes. So Nana preconceived that the manor owner already knew about it.
"Uh..." the corners of the black cat Kate's eyes twitched. It probably knew where the crows were going. "He was busy pleasing the pets, so he probably forgot to take care of the manor."
"Pet?" Nana suddenly became interested. "What kind of pet is it? Is it cute? Can I play with it?"
"It's very cute." The black cat Kate recalled Shano's appearance, even from a cat's point of view, this white and tender little two-legged beast is cute enough, "But you should not go, Kano Chen is too possessive, he won't let you get close to his little pet."
It was only after it left that it figured out why it was being targeted by Kan Chen crazily. Didn't it just rub your little pet? Is it necessary to be so careful
After the slander was over, it remembered the business, and quickly said, "I'll tell Kan Chen about this first, let's talk about it next time, Nana."
After speaking, it ran away in a hurry, leaving the little girl's complaints behind.
"Why are you walking so fast?" Nana sighed, "I have no one to play with me, so lonely."
She thought of the little pet that the black cat Kate mentioned, and she felt itchy. As for its reminder...
Nana shook her head: "The owner of the manor is very nice."
She only met Kan Chen once when she entered the manor. Although she didn't look close, she was actually a very gentle person. When she lost her way, it was the manor who sent the crow to guide her.
After hesitating for a while, she made a decision: "It doesn't matter, I'm going to find a little pet to play with!"
dd She really doesn't want to stay here alone.
The little girl jumped down from the stone steps and ran away.
In the living room, Kan Chen suddenly received a message from the black cat Kate. He immediately stood up and said to Xia Nuo who was sitting on the sofa: "There is a problem in the manor, and I have to deal with it. You..."
He hesitated, hesitated to speak.
After the crisis at the opera house, he realized that some things cannot be foolproof no matter what. And what he didn't want to admit was that maybe Xia Nuo would encounter more dangers by his side.
Xia Nuo obediently raised his hand: "I'll wait here for your return."
He noticed the embarrassment of the man, so he offered to stay. In addition, he also wanted to calm down alone for a while, and think about their relationship. He always felt that there seemed to be a wonderful chemical reaction between him and Han Chen, and their relationship seemed to have passed silently. The boundary between friends and companions is rushing in a direction he couldn't expect.
Kan Chen didn't know that the young man was planning to sort out their relationship. He thought for a while, and a crow flew out from his shadow and stood on the cabinet by the door.
He pointed to it and said to Xia Nuo: "When I'm not around, it will protect you."
Xia Nuo nodded to show that he remembered it, and then whispered: "Come back early."
After speaking, he himself blushed with embarrassment: Is he too dependent on men
Looking at him, Kan Chen somehow thought of his little wife who was reluctant to leave her husband. He laughed and touched the boy's head: "Okay, I'll be back soon."
After Kan Chen left, Xia Nuo sat on the sofa in a daze for a while. He clearly said that he wanted to think about the relationship between the two, but when he thought of Kan Chen, he couldn't help jumping out of his usual care for himself, picking roses for himself specially, and the gentle tone when he called him "Nuo Nuo" …
Xia Nuo felt that his brain was getting more and more confused.
If you don't understand it, don't think about it, let's look for clues first.
So comforting himself, he took out the "Mother He's Recipe" from the kitchen and started to read it.
He didn't pay attention to the preparation methods of those delicious dishes, but focused on the small words in the margins of the book, which can be seen as essays.
The owner of the recipe is a single mother whose husband died early and she raised her daughter alone. Her daughter's name is He Lili. She was well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, but unfortunately she was born with a cleft lip. The original intention of He's mother as a cook in the manor was to save money for her daughter's surgery.
The treatment in the manor was good, and life at home gradually improved. Mother He also met a nice man, married him, and conceived a child.
Perhaps the new life had a greater impact on Mother He. At this stage, her daughter appeared less frequently in her works, and she began to mention her husband and unborn child more, imagining the future life.
I don't know what happened in the middle, but there were a lot of gaps. Xia Nuo turned over more than 30 pages before he found a new essay on the last page.
At this time, her husband and unborn child had disappeared from her pen, and she did not mention her daughter again, but simply wrote a sentence: "I am sorry for that child."
That's it.
After reading it, Xia Nuo felt that instead of finding any useful information, he was full of doubts.
Who is that child? her daughter? Or an unborn child? or…
For some reason, Xia Nuo suddenly thought of little Luo Er, could that child be referring to him
Although it was just a flash of thought, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was possible.
Mother He has worked as a cook in the manor for so long, so she probably knows some unknown secrets, and little Luo Er, thinking of his bizarre and tragic life experience, may also belong to one of these secrets.
However, the most important reason why Xia Nuo came to this conclusion was that the dd game system classified it with the family portrait and hung it under the special task.
Xia Nuo: Thank you System Father for the reminder.
At least he now knows that Little Roll is definitely an important part of the special mission. To solve the mystery of the manor, he must find Little Roll.
"Hi! Hello!" A childish voice interrupted his thoughts.
Xia Nuo turned around following the sound in surprise, and a little girl in a white skirt stood at the door of the living room.
At this time, the crow standing on the cabinet quietly raised its head, its scarlet eyes staring at the two people below without blinking.
"Hello." Xia Nuo also greeted her, "Are you here to see Mr. Kan Chen... Kan Chen?"
Halfway through the conversation, he remembered that he had promised the man to change his address, and changed his words abruptly.
"No, I'm here to play with you." Nana put her hands behind her back, looked at him, and said innocently, "Kate is right, you are really cute. No wonder Brother Han Chen is so cute." like you."
Children are all about appearance, and the boy is exquisite and good-looking, and his facial features are very friendly. The first time Nana saw him, she felt that she had come to the right place.
I want to play with this little brother! She thought happily, but it's so strange, the little brother is obviously a human being, why did Kate say he was Kan Chen's little pet
She wondered to herself, not knowing how much her words had impacted Xia Nuo.
"Hi, like me?" Xia Nuo suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
His face was dyed a beautiful red, and his speech became stuttering: "Really, really?"
"Really, Nana can't lie."
The burning temperature on Xia Nuo's cheeks slowly subsided, and the innocent tone of the little girl made him realize: Such a young child probably doesn't know the meaning of "like", right? The liking in her mouth is probably like liking toys and beautiful clothes? Just now I overreacted.
After calming down, he recalled what the little girl said before, and couldn't help asking: "We don't know each other, right? Why did you come to me?"
"Don't you know each other now?" The little girl said with a smile, "My name is Nana, what about you?"
"My name is Xia..."
"Ah dd" the crow's cry interrupted his self-introduction.
Xia Nuo suddenly remembered the system's reminder that the little girl in front of him should be an NPC, and he couldn't tell her his real name, so he changed his words: "My name is Xia Chang'an."
"Huh?" Nana frowned and kicked her shoes, "Xia? I hate this surname."
She remembered that her enemy's surname was Xia, so why is this very pleasing little brother also surnamed Xia
But she didn't connect the two of them together, instead she walked forward excitedly and took Xia Nuo's hand: "Brother Chang'an, let's go out and play together."
The little girl is small in stature but has great strength. Xia Nuo was staggered by her, and quickly refused: "No, I promised Kan Chen that I will wait here for him to come back."
Nana rolled her eyes and immediately came up with an idea: "I know where Brother Han Chen is, shall we go find him?"
"Hey? This is not good, is it? I promised him..."
"What's wrong? Brother Kan Chen, can we come to you?" The little girl asked the crow on the cabinet.
"Nana, why are you talking to that bird? And..."
dd also called it Kan Chen.
An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Xia Nuo's heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his shoulders sink. After the bird flew over half of the living room, it folded its wings and landed on his shoulders.
"Brother Kan Chen can hear everything he said to the crow." Nana wondered why the little brother in front of her didn't know anything about it. Didn't Kate say that he was a pet raised by Brother Kan Chen
She explained seriously: "Isn't the crow the incarnation of brother Kan Chen?"
Xia Nuo was stunned, and after a while he uttered two words stiffly: "A crow?"
His mind went blank, and he uncontrollably thought of the beginning of "Black Crow Manor":
"The door of the banquet hall opened with a 'bang', and the singing and dancing stopped. Everyone looked towards the door. A man covered in flames was standing at the door. A large group of ominous crows were above his head. Circling. The crowd fell silent for a moment, then the screams rang out dd”
"Crow?" He repeated the word again, his tone full of disbelief.
He vaguely realized something in his heart, but he couldn't accept it emotionally.
And once he found something wrong, all the doubts that had been ignored before flooded into his mind: why did the man know so much about the manor, why he could communicate with the animals, why he was so familiar with the npc in the manor. Answer.
The crow stood silently on his left shoulder. Xia Nuo thought of the flock of birds that emerged when he was held hostage by the puppet. They should be all of them at that time, right? Obviously the crow's cry is so unique, why didn't he recognize it at that time
Nana looked at him blankly, not understanding why the expression of the little brother in front of her suddenly became so complicated. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, as well as somewhat frustrated and sad.
She couldn't help asking with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke dd
"It's nothing, please take me to find Kan Chen." Xia Nuo said slowly but firmly.
dd He's going to ask him to find out.
