Chapter 330 As Old
"I'm sorry, my mother only gave birth to me, I don't have a brother."

Zhao Lu had a blank expression on his face, but he nimbly dodged Zhuge Yun's attack by moving sideways.

After laughing and joking for a while, everyone went back to their beds, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

……

The next day, everyone set off for Xiao Xiao's home.

The old alley, with its white walls and black tiles on both sides, is just as I saw it last time, as if time has slowed down its pace.

"Old Third, this alley near your house is like an ancient artifact."

Zhang Bo, who has always been a thick-skinned man, also showed some artistic skills. Although it was not the first time he had seen it, Zhang Bo still had the illusion that he had stepped into a mysterious world and was a little dazed.

The noisy hustle and bustle outside was isolated outside this alley.

The flying light dust in the dim light made Zhuge Yun stare at it intently.

"Third brother, if this place is a tourist attraction, there will definitely be a lot of people coming here."

Zhuge Yun raised his eyebrows and jokingly said with a smirk, "We can collect a lot just from the ticket fees."

In response, Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes, shrugged and declined to comment.

Zhao Luzheng nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Third Brother, this place is well preserved."

Winter is approaching, and a few rugged branches are sticking out from the white walls and black tiles on both sides, outlining an extremely chilly posture.

The cold air and the gloomy gray-blue sky seem less tense because of the continuous green.

……

"crunch~"

The door opened, and Zhang Bo and his companions walked into the yard as if they were familiar with the place.

The century-old sycamore tree and the white plum tree of unknown age that amazed them last time are in very good condition, with stretched branches and slender and strong trunks.

The leaves of the sycamore tree have almost all fallen, but on the slender branches of the white plum tree there are tiny flower buds. The small and exquisite "snow balls" are particularly endearing.

Zhang Bo and his companions could not help but gather around the white plum tree and look at it carefully.

……

Xiao Xiao fell behind Zhang Bo and the others, letting them look around.

"Chirp~"

The familiar call made Xiao Xiao raise the corners of his mouth in joy, with a deep smile in his eyes.

Still with a somewhat reckless attitude, the pigeon rushed towards Xiao Xiao happily.

"嘤嘤~"

The baby spoon followed closely behind the pigeon. Its snow-white body seemed to have a clear and bright glow, which was particularly dazzling in the somewhat gloomy sky.

……

"Chirp~"

"嘤嘤~"

The two little monsters flapped their wings in front of Xiao Xiao, their inner joy was beyond words.

"Pigeon, Baby Spoon, how are you?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Zhang Bo and the others in front of him. Seeing that they were circling the white plum tree with a look of complete concentration, he greeted the two little monsters softly.

"啾啾~啾啾~"

"嘤嘤~"

The pigeon flew to Xiao Xiao's empty shoulder, folded its wings and moved closer to Xiao Xiao, rubbing his cheek, "Chirp~"

Baby Spoon was more reserved. After seeing the pigeon rubbing against it for a while, it called to it a few times. Its clear and childish calls were gentle and pleasant to the ear.

Although the pigeon was reluctant, it still flew off Xiao Xiao's shoulder.

The baby spoon gracefully stopped at the original position of the pigeon.

Then, the baby spoon touched Xiao Xiao's cheek, "嘤嘤~"

The pigeon glanced at the baby spoon with some resentment, and soon began to circle around Xiao Xiao happily, its emerald eyes sparkling.

Xiao Xiao looked at the performance of the two little monsters with some amusement. Just when he was about to say something, he looked up as if he sensed something, and saw that Zhang Bo and others had finished studying the plum buds and were turning to look at him.

"Old Third, what are you doing there alone?"

Zhang Bo spoke in a loud voice, frowned and looked at him, "Why don't you come over?" He seemed to be taking the initiative.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and walked over obediently.

"Xiaoxiao."

Perhaps because she heard Zhang Bo's voice, Xiao's mother suddenly appeared at the door, with a smile on her face that showed obvious tenderness.

"mom."

Xiao Xiao laughed and walked over quickly.

"Hello auntie."

Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng greeted Xiao's mother obediently, "We are here to disturb you again."

Maybe it was because she had been immersed in the fragrance of tea for a long time, the aura around Xiao's mother was clear and soft, and there was a peaceful feeling of peace and tranquility. Zhang Bo felt a little embarrassed about his loud voice before, and felt that he had scared Xiao's mother.

"How could that be? Auntie can't wait to welcome you."

Mother Xiao's eyebrows curved and she smiled happily, "Come in quickly."

"Ah, Xiaoxiao, are these the mountain delicacies you mentioned?"

Mother Xiao took the bag Xiao Xiao handed to her, opened it and took a look, "It's very fresh."

"Please sit down for a while. Auntie will prepare delicious food for you."

Mother Xiao closed the bag and asked everyone to sit down. "Don't be polite. Take whatever you want to drink or eat."

"Thank you, aunt."

Zhang Bo and his companions were as harmless as rabbits in front of Xiao's mother.

"Xiaoxiao, entertain your classmates."

Mother Xiao gave Xiao Xiao one last reminder.

"Um, Mom, do you want me to help you?"

Xiao Xiao felt that he was quite capable of washing and cutting vegetables.

"No, there are only a few dishes left. Mom will cook them soon."

"Just stay with your classmates."

Mother Xiao waved her hand and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Please do whatever you want. I'll go to my room and get some clothes to bring back to school later."

After Xiao Xiao said something to Zhang Bo and the others, he walked towards the stairs.

Zhang Bo and others waved their hands, signaling Xiao Xiao to go quickly.

They had already visited Xiao Xiao's room last time, so they had no interest in going again this time.

It’s not a girl’s room, so you can go and revisit it if you have nothing to do.

"Tweet~"

"Boom~"

Seeing that Xiao Xiao was the only one left, the two little monsters who had been well-behaved and quiet before started to make noise again.

Xiao Xiao didn't mind, mainly because the voices of the two monsters were not unpleasant and quite melodious, as if they were chanting.

Xiao Xiao felt happy after listening to this, and his steps couldn't help but become lighter.

As soon as he opened the door and stepped into the room, Xiao Xiao heard a familiar voice.

“Chuckle~Chuckle~”

It was a childish, innocent laugh, yet somehow it carried a hint of weirdness and strangeness.

It makes people's scalps tingle and their backs chilled when they hear it.

However, Xiao Xiao slightly curled the corners of his mouth. With such lively calls, it seemed that the minnow was living well.

Following the sound, I saw the vermilion color glittering in the water waves, which was very beautiful.

Xiao Xiao went to look at the red carp and the pearl turtle again. They both seemed to be getting along peacefully and looked calm.

Seeing him coming, the red carp wagged its tail, swam closer and greeted Xiao Xiao. Its light red scales, which were somewhat transparent and wrapped with silver edges, made it look even more luxurious.

The pearl turtle fish opened its four eyes, with a gentle smile in its eyes.

After greeting the monsters in the room, Xiao Xiao changed their water and fed them some food, then prepared to go to the yard.
