Back to the era with space materials

Si Ningning reacted and shouted after him: "Stop!"

The soft and waxy voice was not intimidating at all, but it still stopped the little boy who ran a few steps away.

The little boy turned around, covered his face with his arms across his face, and secretly looked at Si Ningning through the gap.

He didn't speak and just stood there, as if waiting for Si Ningning to speak.

Although the face looks a bit scary, it is indeed pitiful.

Si Ningning knelt down and tried to look at him as level as possible to reduce his resistance, "Were you the one who followed me yesterday?"

The little boy still only looked at Si Ningning through the gap, his dark eyes bright and complicated.

complex?

How could a child have such eyes?

Si Ningning pursed her lips, took out the candy from the basket and handed it over, continuing to coax, "You tell me, and the candy will be yours."

"It's me." The little boy's voice was hoarse and weak. He took a small step back, shook his head and said, "I don't want your candy."

Si Ningning peeled off the candy and put it into her mouth. She pushed the candy ball to her left cheek with her tongue. She took off the towel wrapped around her neck and sat on the edge of the field to wipe her sweat. She patted her side for a while and motioned for the little boy to sit down.

After everyone sat down, she asked again: "My name is Si Ningning, what is your name?"

The little boy is also thin, with pitifully thin wrists and ankles. He can "raise" a small goldfish without squeezing the collarbone that leaks out of his collar, but his skin is very white.

Si Ningning was inexplicably curious.

Times are hard these days, with half-grown adults helping to share the housework and working in the fields a lot. The countryside generally cannot raise such fair-skinned children.

But although he is white, he is also too thin to look out of shape...

He doesn't look like a child from a good family, nor does he look like the kind of child whose family can't live well.

Just when Si Ningning was confused, the little boy spoke again, "My name is Hegu."

He lowered his head, his voice was even weaker than before, and his white forehead was covered with sweat heated by the sun.

Si Ningning raised the basket, and the shadow fell just above Hegu's head, "So, little comrade Hegu, can you tell me why you followed me quietly?"

The sun was at its most intense at noon, and Si Ningning was also badly burned, so he wanted to make a quick decision.

However, Hegu's answer surprised her.

"You are clean."

clean?

Si Ningning frowned slightly and shook her head in confusion.

He Gu turned his head and looked at her expectantly with his surprisingly big eyes, "Can I come over to play with you in the afternoon?"

Play?

"I'm not playing around." Si Ningning shook her head, smiled and waved her hands, "The sun is shining brightly, go home quickly! I have to go back to eat too."

She stood up as she spoke, and He Gu followed her. He was so thin that his body couldn't keep up with the nutrients he needed. He stood up suddenly, and couldn't help but sway back and forth.

Si Ningning gave him a hand and waited until he stood firm before letting go.

During this period, Hegu stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the corner of Si Ningning's clothes. He stretched out his hand halfway and then retracted it, "Then let me help you with the work!"

His tone was firm, as if he had made up his mind early on, which made Si Ningning have to suspect that if she hadn't discovered him, he would have come secretly.

After all, it was someone else's personal freedom. Si Ningning felt that he did not have such great authority and could control so much.

"You can come if you want, but you don't have to work." Seeing how pitiful the little guy was, Si Ningning still stuffed him with two candies, shook the small basket, and prepared to go home, "You can play then.

What's yours, I'll do mine."
