No one expected that a little girl who suddenly appeared had seen Dingjun Mountain, and the information she provided was not positive at Horror Cave operates according to "normal" logic. What adult, upon hearing that there is a person covered in blood on the street, would not also suspect the friends who were traveling with him? There are problems with all of them. The man's eyes suddenly became deep, and he stretched out his hand to protect the girl behind him. "You are just a kid who doesn't know any better. I have never seen the person you describe." Ran Ran opened her eyes wide. This was a complete lie without thinking. She didn't blush or feel nervous... "But I don't think this little sister is talking nonsense." She looked at the little girl sincerely, "Isn't that right?" The man snorted coldly, and the little girl lowered her long eyelashes and retracted her head. He turned his gaze to the oldest-looking Xiao girl present, "Parents should take good care of their children!" "Lest I not know what virtues to teach them!" These words were considered quite harsh in a normal situation. They were basically equivalent to pointing at Ranran's nose and scolding her for being a bad person. Everyone present frowned at the same time.
Yangguang was filled with anger, "How can you talk like that?! An adult would do that to a child! How dare you!" Shen Dinghai was always paying attention to Ranran's movements, so he could see that Ranran didn't care about what the man said. Suddenly he chose to remain silent and let Yangguang confront the man. Ranran is always on guard, but she doesn't feel very involved. She just regards everything in front of her as a dangerous game that she must pass. It is obvious that information can be extracted from the little girl, but the man can make the little girl lose the motivation to talk to them with just a simple move. In the normal world, young children do not have a say, and all their actions will be regarded by adults as play and not serious matters that need to be taken seriously. Same here. The current situation is that they have been shut out, and if they want to deepen their understanding of this special NPC, they can't let the conversation end here. This man obviously hates them very much, so what about the mistress of this house? If she exists, can we give it a try? The little girl completely shrank behind the man, but that didn't stop Ranran from staring at her and insisting on talking to her. "Who is older, you or the little boy who opened the door for us just now?" There was no response, but Ran Ran was not discouraged and continued. "Do you know that you are really cute, like a doll..." Ran Ran said, glancing at the man vaguely, "You must have inherited your mother's beauty, right?" "I can't even imagine how beautiful your mother must be!" Shen Dinghai probably understood Ranran's intention, and he was determined to talk to this family even at all costs. Yes, the little girl behind the man knows the whereabouts of Dingjun Mountain and cannot be let go easily! Even though Ranran's plan is completely different from Shen Dinghai's, it does not hinder their cooperation. Shen Dinghai grinned and said, "I can't compare them all, but I can guarantee that her mother is definitely the most beautiful on this street!" After a few flatteries, there was silence behind the man. The little girl seemed to be silent, but Ranran, who had good hearing, heard the faint crying sound. After hearing the compliments about my mother, I cried? Was it because of something sad? Did she pass away? Or are they divorced? As expected, the little girl couldn't hold back her tears any longer and soon burst into tears.
"Dad, I miss mom so much, when will mom come back?" The man facing Yangguang's face suddenly darkened, "All of you, get out of here!" Shen Dinghai didn't expect the little girl to cry so soon. He was shocked and felt a little guilty. He was about to leave with everyone else, but Ranran quickly walked up the stairs, hugged the little girl and started crying. "Don't be sad, pretty sister! I haven't seen my mother for a long time!" Ran Ran's action caught everyone off guard, Yang Guang's jaw opened as if it was about to dislocate, and he muttered to himself. "I would like to call her the movie queen..." Even Xiaonu showed shock on her face. Shen Dinghai was also surprised, but he reacted quickly and immediately continued Ranran's role. "Yes, yes! Little sister! You and my cousin really share the same suffering!" He pretended to wipe his tears, "What poor little girls!" Ranran turned around and saw two pools of tears in her clear eyes. Anyone who saw them would feel that the emotion was sincere and moving. When she spoke, her voice even trembled slightly, "Nephew, this sister and I hit it off right away. I want to be friends with her!" Shen Dinghai was slightly stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment. He felt that whatever he said would be a bit awkward. Fortunately, Ranran didn't need him to respond. She reached out her hand and gently patted the little girl's back, humming a soft and moving melody, like a gentle breeze. The little girl's tearful eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Ranran with curiosity. The sadness of missing her mother in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot. "You sing so beautifully and it's so magical... As soon as I heard it, I knew it was a song my mother would sing." Ranran nodded secretly in her heart. This was the song her mother would hum when she didn't have to stay in seclusion or to coax her to sleep in the mountains. As long as it was useful, it was good. "Your mother..." Ranran wanted to find out more information, but the man suddenly stretched out his long arm, across her and the little girl, his angry face full of gloom. As he moved, Ran Ran could smell the rotten smell coming from the fabric of his clothes. Like a corpse. There is a ghost! Should I tell her? Ran Ran recalled what happened in the coffee shop before. Acting like a little girl only this big! Ranran covered her mouth and nose, frowned, and took two steps back, getting closer to the door. There was even darkness behind her. "What a stinky smell!" she said coquettishly, as if she was dissatisfied. The man's face became even uglier, and he stretched out his hand to push Ranran down the stairs. The little girl suddenly raised her face and looked at the man, "Dad, I want to be friends with this sister. She can remind me of my mom and I won't be sad." The man paused. Everyone thought he would be angry, but his tone was so gentle that it was no exaggeration to say that he was coaxing them. "Have you forgotten that you saw their friends? They were covered in blood! People like that are very dangerous." The man looked at Ran Ran sinisterly, "These people...are not good people either." Ran Ran pointed at herself in bewilderment, "Is the stinky-faced uncle talking about me? I'm not a bad person." "And even if they are bad guys..." She took the little girl's hand, "they will be kind to their friends~"
The little girl was hugged and held hands by Ran Ran, which made her feel a little embarrassed. She had never had a friend of the same age before... She looked at the man and argued, "Dad, my sister's friend was indeed covered in blood, but he is a good man. The blood on his body was all his own. When I saw him, there was a group of bad guys following him and wanted to beat him up." "Those are the bad guys, right?" The girl looked at the man with curiosity, "Dad, you taught Mako that hitting people is wrong, so those who hit people are definitely bad guys." The pure eyes without any impurities are like a clear sky blue lake, which makes people's hearts soften. The man was silent for a moment, "Since Mako likes it, then come in and have some tea and snacks." Although he was one step closer to his goal, Ranran couldn't be happy. Because she sensed something was wrong. The man pulled the door wider, but standing outside the threshold the scene inside was still pitch black. Ran Ran stood there quietly, with a question circling in her mind, a normal question. What kind of father would invite four unknown people to his home when he feels something is wrong?
