Lin Mu woke up in the morning and found himself rolled up in a quilt and slept into a spring roll.
No wonder I dreamed last night that I was locked in a small dark room, telling Tiantian not to be called Earthly Difficult.
Lin Mu lay in bed for a while, and when the alarm clock rang, he rolled slowly, rolled himself out of the spring rolls, and got out of bed.
After changing clothes and folding the quilt, Lin Mu remembered that the dog who came to sleep with him last night was not on the bed.
He turned his head and glanced at the kennel, and found that the kennel was also empty.
Lin Mu was stunned for a while. He packed the bed and went downstairs. He saw the dog lying on the open door, and a sweet aroma wafted out of the kitchen.
Lin Mu took a deep breath, only to feel that his sleepy brain was a lot awake in an instant. He glanced into the kitchen with his probe and found that the rice cooker was in the keep warm mode. He opened it and looked at it and found that it was a pot of millet porridge. With two thin ginseng whiskers.
This millet was bought by Lin Mu in the mall, and he has made porridge several times, but it is far less fragrant than it is today.
It seems that the fragrant should be the ginseng inside.
Lin Mu put the lid on the pot, turned his head and walked out of the kitchen. When he walked to the door of the house, he saw the ginseng doll waving a small shovel and turning the soil.
"Good morning." Lin Mu said hello to Toffee and Little Ginseng.
The little ginseng noticed that he was coming, raised his head and showed a sweet smile, and said hello in a milky voice: "Good morning, Lin Mu!"
The dog just shook his ears and didn't even look at him.
Lin Mu glanced at the dog, squatted down and touched its head.
The dog was still ignoring it, and even shook his head and shook his hand down.
These forest trees finally realized that something was wrong.
His dog seemed to be throwing a tantrum with him.
- But I slept together sweetly last night!
Lin Mu withdrew his hand, looked at the dog lying on the side with a solemn expression, and began to seriously think about what he did wrong.
It shouldn't be about bringing Da Hei back, Lin Mu thought. After all, after Da Hei left, Toffee suddenly became close to him, and Da Hei also said that Toffee was willing to be his own dog - although the original words were not this, But that's roughly what it means.
The pigeons and old hens made yesterday, and the toffee tastes delicious too.
What's wrong with that.
Lin Mu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a name.
It can't be that he didn't sleep well and kicked the toffee out of bed in the middle of the night, right
Lin Mu: "… "
Oh grass.
Lin Mu thought of the pigeons and old hens who ate the toffee deliciously yesterday, and decided to get another one today as a snack for him.
After making the decision, Lin Mu turned to look at the diligent little ginseng and asked, "Did you cook the porridge in the pot?"
"Yeah, I saw you use it before." The little ginseng nodded, her voice soft and sweet, "This way you can sleep longer."
Lin Mu was startled, his heart seemed to be gently stabbed by something small, and warm emotions flowed out, sweet and numb, crawling all over his body.
He slowly came back to his senses, rubbed his smiling face, and nodded, "Okay, I'll go have breakfast."
The millet porridge with ginseng and whiskers has an extra sweet taste. After drinking a whole bowl, I only feel that there is no discomfort in the whole body. It is like taking a bath, rubbing, and massaging. , full of energy, and even the vision in front of him became a little clearer.
Lin Mu had never eaten ordinary ginseng, but he was sure that ordinary ginseng would definitely not have this effect.
It's just that the ginseng whiskers are so powerful. If you really stew the whole ginseng, it is estimated that it can cure all diseases and return to youth and prolong life. It is no wonder that ginseng dolls are hiding everywhere.
Lin Mu packed the rest of the porridge with the dog. Seeing that it was still early, he took the hoe and went to the yard to dig the soil with the ginseng doll.
He told Little Ginseng yesterday that he was going to grow and order vegetables in the yard, and he got a very positive response. The ginseng baby was very happy that he had something to do.
Lin Mu waved his hoe, and with a hoe, the thin layer of soil was easily turned up like sand.
He raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the little ginseng: "Have you loosened the soil?"
"Yeah, I'm good at loosening soil. I used to help those uncles and plants loosen soil when I was in the mountains." After the little ginseng finished speaking, he tugged at his apron and asked in a low voice, " Lin Mu, can I plant some elixir here with you?"
"Elixir?" Lin Mu asked suspiciously, "What elixir?"
"Recently, there are many monsters from outside the mountains, and there are always conflicts. Several old trees I know have been injured. I want to get them some medicine..." The ginseng doll said, and she took out a few small bags from nowhere. Bulging, "I have collected a lot of seeds over the past few hundred years."
Lin Mu looked at the seeds and stopped planting vegetables. He planted the seeds together with the little ginseng and buried them in the soil.
After the dog had finished today's breakfast, he looked at the busy people in the yard, one big and one small, and after thinking about it, he took the basin back to the kitchen and threw it into the sink.
Lin Mu was almost late for his morning shift, and when he entered the office, Da Hei was paralyzed in his chair.
Hearing the movement of Lin Mu coming in, he turned his head to look at him, snorted to say hello, then looked away again, and then fell into a daze.
Lin Mu sat down in his seat, looked at Da Hei, who was obviously out of shape, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What happened? You don't seem very happy."
"Well." Da Hei nodded, "The old lady left last night."
Lin Mu was stunned when he heard this, and said calmly, "I'm sorry."
"Apologize for what?" Da Hei was a little puzzled.
"Last night, you weren't at my house..."
"No, I went to see her after I came out from you, and met before she was taken away by the ghost." Da Hei said, rubbing his hands unconsciously, "She walked peacefully."
The big black went with the body.
When I went, the old lady's soul was sitting peacefully on the sofa, her body was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her expression was neither sad nor happy, apparently she had stopped breathing peacefully in her sleep.
There was no one else in the room, everyone slept late at night, and the old lady was on the sofa in the room, waiting quietly.
After waiting, Da Hei came in through the window. The two looked at each other for a while, before Da Hei scratched his head and changed back to the prototype.
After the last days of the old lady, she was in a peaceful and quiet mood. She was only slightly surprised when she saw the big change in front of her, and then smiled lovingly and waved to Da Hei.
"She said... The first time she saw my human figure, she felt kind, and she told the people in the nursing home that if I went there, let me in." Da Hei said with a smirk, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to keep going."
Da Hei rambled for a while, the sadness in his heart disappeared at some point, and when he thought of the old lady who left, his heart was filled with those beautiful and tender memories.
"Hey, it's a pleasure to talk to you." The dull gloom on Da Hei's face disappeared completely, and he regained his energetic appearance, complaining, "If he told the old turtle, he would definitely I have to talk about some big truths again.”
In fact, Lin Mu, who didn't bother Da Hei's chatter, watched Da Hei recover and said, "You should also listen to what the old man said."
"Yes, yes, I understand the truth." Da Hei muttered, "From today onwards, I have no more entanglements with human beings, and the old turtle will not be able to read me in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Lin Mu went to open the door and found that there was a woman at the door. She looked very charming and charming. When she saw him, she was stunned, and then she smiled, and even her voice had a greasy sweetness: "Young man is new here. ?"
"Yes, hello." Lin Mu hesitated after speaking, always feeling that there was an aura on the other side that made him feel slightly uncomfortable.
He paused and nodded. He didn't know how to distinguish between monsters and humans, and he didn't even know how to distinguish and grasp that kind of aura. He just thought that this woman knew that he was a newcomer, probably a monster.
He opened the door: "Come in."
"I won't go in, the director of your office doesn't like humans very much." After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the black man in the office and said, "I'll get the letter."
Lin Mu was confused, so he turned to look at Da Hei.
Da Hei has already looked over at this moment, and after seeing the woman at the door, the smile on his face paused, his face elongated, and he took out a box from the drawer and handed it to the woman.
The woman didn't mind either, she smiled Jiaojiao, took the box, and turned away.
Lin Mu watched her go away, turned to ask Da Hei, "Is that a human?"
"Yeah." Da Hei nodded. "She comes every month. When she comes back, if you are here, give her the box in this drawer."
Lin Mu looked at the lacquered wood box: "What is this?"
"The fruit of the grass, after eating it, people will become charming and charming for a period of time, and you will be sure to hook people." Da Hei rolled his eyes as he said, "The woman is with a monster, I know there is After such a thing, there is a clamor for it, but there is only one plant under the grass, and the fruit is even more expensive, how can ordinary monsters get it."
"Then these fruits...?" Lin Mu looked at the boxes.
"Oh, that monster is already dead, he bought these fruits with his life, please let us hand them over to that woman." Da Hei snorted lightly after speaking, and made it clear that he had been unhappy about this for a long time, "The monster talked to humans about it. Love is like this, monsters have a long lifespan, and their perception of time is completely different from that of humans. Human life is also a period of passionate love for monsters. During the period of passionate love, when the object dies, most monsters will remember it for hundreds of years. Even a lifetime, but what about human beings? What a wonderful life."
"If you want me to tell you, the monsters who have the courage to contact human beings, and have deep relationships or even fall in love, are all warriors."
Da Kuro concluded that he was very glad that he did not fall in love with a human being.
Lin Mu just listened in a daze, and couldn't help thinking about his biological parents all day.
In fact, he rarely explores his own life experience, not even thinking about it.
Because whether he has a father or not is the same for him. Anyway, the mother who raised him has passed away, and he can live alone and live well.
Just mentioning the relationship between humans and monsters, it is inevitable that some will come to mind.
Lin Mu was in a trance for a whole day. When he went back, he simply went to the supermarket to buy a finished roast chicken. When he got home, he stuffed it with toffee and ginseng. He went upstairs in disbelief under the gaze of a dog. The studio that belonged to his mother.
The notebooks and folders that Lin Mu hadn't flipped through since he found them in the attic were lying quietly on the desk.
Lin Mu opened the folder.
Inside are some materials when my mother rolled and excavated in the wild, photos and materials of some rare plants, hand-painted reference pictures, and photos of my mother's muddy body in the wild.
Lin Mu flipped through the pages roughly, then stopped at one of the pages of photos.
The photo was probably in the deep mountains. His mother was holding a huge tree with huge roots. Her face was covered in mud, and the equipment on her back was all earth-colored. She hugged the tree and smiled. He was very happy, showing his neat eight teeth, his eyes were sparkling, and the excitement was visible to the naked eye.
Lin Mu glanced at the tree, and because he didn't take the whole picture, Lin Mu couldn't see what kind of tree it was.
But it's not the tree that attracts the trees, it's a phantom sitting on the other side in this photo.
The phantom was sitting on an exposed branch with one leg bent, the other leg hanging casually, wearing a dark green robe embroidered with a few golden leaves, a black hair tied high with a black hairband Tied up, holding a black round thing in his hand, he seemed to be squinting at the muddy woman beside him.
Lin Mu looked at the thing in his hand and always felt very familiar.
The shadow was too thin to be seen clearly. Lin Mu frowned and tried to look carefully. After looking at it, the phantom gradually solidified.
Lin Mu realized that the person recorded by the camera was not human.
He glanced at the half-slap-sized black thing in the hand of the man who was suspected to be a monster, raised his head sharply, and looked at a fruit in the bookcase that was carefully kept in a box.
The appearance of this fruit is unknown to Lin Mu, but his mother has kept it so well that Lin Mu thought it was a fruit-shaped ornament.
Lin Mu was stunned for a while, then turned to look at the face in the photo, which always felt very familiar.
He took the mirror out of the drawer and looked at the face in the mirror.
… resembles.
Lin Mu covered the mirror and turned to look at the album his mother had left before.
In the albums that Lin Mu has read countless times, in the many single photos of his mother, another male figure suddenly appeared.
