Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 158

The child followed the man with narrow eyes into the house, and the servant followed hesitantly.

There were three people in the room, one standing in front of the desk on the left, two sitting at the round table, one inside and one outside.

There was food and wine on the table.

The three of them were all wearing scarlet brocade robes, which were more dazzling than those wearing blue clothes outside. They all had fair skin. The one sitting outside the round table was the most conspicuous because he was facing outside, with one arm resting on the table and his legs crossed.

He had a casual posture and a lazy look, and looked the youngest, probably in his twenties. The other two were at least in their thirties.

The narrow-eyed man brought her to a place two or three steps away from the man, and then said to the three men, "Gentlemen, this is her."

Father-in-law?

The child was almost confused for a moment and thought that the girl with long eyes had married their son. But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

Now I remembered some stories, but... Aren't all the eunuchs in the palace? So there are some in the palace too?

She was still a little stunned. The servant behind her poked her and said first, "I greet Liu Dianyi, Chen Dianshen, and Zhang Fengci."

This doesn't sound like a name. It's probably an official title, like You Changshi, right?

The child was confused, but he saluted them with his fists, and spoke every word clearly, as if he was in the army.

The three of them looked at each other in confusion.

The narrow eyes couldn't help laughing.

The servant also gave her a dull look.

Child:……

irritating!

what's so funny?

She has always saluted like this, and if her voice is too soft she will be scolded!

Chen Dianshan, who was sitting at the outermost seat of the round table, was the first to speak: "Alright, kid, come here."

The child put down her hands and took a step forward. It was obvious that she was unhappy, but they didn't seem to care and stared at her as if she were a rare treasure.

"Come closer and stand up." Chen Dianshen pointed to a brick in front of the round table.

The child stood over there, and his legs were next to him.

The child sat on an empty stool and said to her, "Well, it must be very convenient to hit him since we are so close."

Child: ...I absolutely don’t think so!

Chen Dianshen's eyes moved around her face, and the child couldn't help but stare at him, frowning, not understanding what he was looking at at all.

Fortunately, he said it directly, twisting his head slightly and saying to the other two people, "I don't see any difference, they both have one nose and two eyes.

What's your name, kid?"

He spoke slowly, and his tone seemed like he was watching a monkey show very politely.

The child didn't want to pay attention to him, but had to answer: "Child."

"what?"

"My name is Xiaohai, I don't have a last name."

"Nonsense," said Zhang Fengci, who was sitting at the other end of the round table. "It's common to have no name. How can you not have a surname? Don't you know your father's surname?"

"When I lived in the nunnery, I took my biological father's surname. Later, the nunnery collapsed, and the master and the nun left. They gave me to my godparents, and I took my godfather's surname. Later, my godparents didn't want me anymore and sent me back home. My biological father didn't want me either, and sent me to my eldest sister's house. But she couldn't support me, and my seventh sister didn't want me to stay either. After that, I went to the military camp. I was neither one family nor the other, so I didn't have a surname."

Speaking of this, the child herself felt confused, but she explained it clearly.

I just don’t know why they were so quiet after listening to it. Did they not understand?

That wasn't the case. After hearing what they understood, Zhang Fengci frowned and asked, "Why don't they want you?"

The child said, "Master and the others didn't take me with them because I didn't want to become a nun. My godparents didn't want me because I was disobedient and they were afraid I would get into trouble and bring trouble upon them, so they didn't want me. My biological father's family didn't want me because I was a girl. They already had many girls. My eldest sister...she was my eldest sister, so she didn't have to raise me. Besides, I left on my own. She treated me very well, never letting me work and always giving me good food."

The child didn't feel sad when she talked about these things. She didn't care much about the people in her godparents' and her father's family.

As for the master and nun, the child didn't think they really didn't want her.

What may sound like a tortuous and even tragic experience to others is already a thing of the past for the child. She just... changed her sleeping place several times, met some new people, and some things happened, some sad things, some happy things, and then she separated from those people, that's it.

Her tone seemed accustomed to it.

Zhang Fengci: "What about the Tude Camp? They don't want you anyway."

The little boy slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily, "You're asking even though you already know the answer. They were just talking about it behind my back!"

The child said calmly, "Because I'm crazy, I always see people who don't exist talking to me."

It was broad daylight and the room was warm, but the servant was already sweating profusely and felt a chill running down his spine.

Zhang Fengci stopped talking.

Chen Dianshan asked her with great interest, "Can you always hear it?"

The child looked at the little girl, who was spitting into Zhang Fengci's bowl.

Chen Dianshan: "What are you looking at? It's here too."

The child pointed to Zhang Fengci and said, "Yes, it's right there."

Her expression did not seem fake, and Zhang Fengci's face turned pale when he heard it, and he glared at her fiercely.

The little boy stood behind him and reached out to dig his eyes out, saying, "I'm helping you vent your anger, no need to thank me."

Child: Of course not, I’m not really stingy.

The child paused for a moment and said, "Then you come?"

Then forget it.

The child retracted her hand. Zhang Fengci was unhappy, but Chen Dianshan looked quite happy and asked her cheerfully:

"You're not an alien, what else can you do?"

“You can even see ghosts,” the child emphasized. “Real ghosts.”

Chen Dianshan: "Besides this?"

The child thought of his unfortunate talent and subconsciously denied it, "It's gone."

The corners of Chen Dianshan's mouth drooped a little.

Zhang Fengci was unconcerned: "He can also be considered an extraordinary person."

Those who perform shaman rituals claim to be able to see ghosts. Are they all extraordinary people?

They obviously thought this talent was a bit boring.

Chen Dianshan was much kinder than him and even spoke up for her: "How can this not count? Could it be that you have such ability?"

"Why do I need this ability? It's not unlucky enough." Zhang Fengci's nose is not a nose, and his face is not a face.

"Just say you didn't," Chen Dianshan glanced at him, propped up his arm and sat up, and said, "Kid, did you eat before you came here?"

That’s definitely not the case. An Xiu was in a hurry to leave. It was just dawn when he had his meal, and it was almost noon now.

But... the child remembered the Liu family's teachings and was not sure whether he should tell the truth.

There was food on the table, and if she said she had never eaten it, it would seem like she was begging for food.

But she doesn't like to lie.

Little boy: "Who cares?"

The child nodded randomly.

There were no words, it was a lie, Xiao Sa.

"Have some snacks then," Chen Dianshan said, looking like a kindly old man in his twenties. He turned around and handed her a plate of snacks. "Aren't you waiting for An Changshi? Go upstairs and wait. We need to talk. You can go upstairs and play. Ask Lianli to take you there."

He pointed at the slit eye.

The child looked at the servant, but he didn't even look at her and just turned away, running away like he was escaping. No one knew what he was afraid of.

These eunuchs won’t eat people.
