Chapter 38 Flowers

Chapter 38 Flowers
In the early morning of the next day, Linton and his party bid farewell to the host.

On the way, after resting, Bella was obviously more active than last night.

"Brother, look." She pointed to the top of the tree and said, "That bird is so beautiful."

Linton looked up.

It was a small white bird, small in size, like a sparrow. Its small eyes rolled around, and it was not afraid to see Linton and others, so it chirped.

"It's really beautiful."

The girl who got the response smiled even more happily, and she wanted to share with Linton everything she encountered on the road.

"Look, this flower is also beautiful!"

"Here here!"

They originally planned to go to Bella's house along the road pointed by the man yesterday, but they turned left and right, and when they reached the destination, it took a lot more time than planned.

Iris looked at the girl who was running left and right excitedly, and couldn't help complaining: "Why do I have the feeling of a parent taking the child out for a spring outing."

"Yes." Linton teased, "the obedient elder daughter and the mischievous younger daughter, and an old father with old arms and legs."

"Go, go." Iris curled her lips, "You're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?"

"Well, it's two naughty daughters."

Seeing that Iris was about to make a move, he hurriedly changed the subject and called out to Bella.

"We're going in!"

"Come on, come on!"

Bella tiptoed back to Linton, and skillfully put her hand into his.

Bella's house is similar to other houses in the village. They are all made of mud bricks, and they are full of cracks from the long-term lack of maintenance.Compared with other people, they also surrounded a small yard with a wooden fence, and the inside was just as Bella described, with many beautiful flowers neatly planted
Wait a minute, blooming flowers?

Iris frowned slightly: "If I remember correctly, that guy seemed to have said yesterday that Bella's parents coughed, and they haven't been back for a long time."

Linton was also a little strange.

This scene doesn't look like there's no one there, does it?
Did they go wrong?
But Bella suddenly became excited at this moment, pointing to those flowers and saying.

"This is my home! I remember them!"

As her voice fell, a crisp jingle sounded in Linton's ear at the same time.

The girl did not lie.

"Go in and have a look."

After a few people easily crossed the wooden fence, Bella ran around happily in the yard, Iris looked around vigilantly, and Linton went straight to the main house, and just about to knock on the door, he found that the old wooden door was not closed Death is just a disguise.

Gently pushing the door open, a smell of dust and damp and decay came to the face.

Looking up, the room is gray and dark, the stove has long been abandoned, and all the furniture is almost completely scrapped.

"It's true that no one has lived here for a long time."

Linton made a conclusion, but his doubts were not resolved.

"What's the matter with those flowers? The neat appearance is obviously taken care of by someone for a long time."

"Big brother, big brother!" Bella ran in suddenly, holding two flowers in her hand.

She handed Linton the branch with blue and white flowers, "For you! This is my favorite flower!"

"Thank you!" Linton took the flowers flattered.

He almost forgot that the girl had made such an agreement with him.

Bella scratched her head, giggled, and ran out again.

Linton followed her and found that the other one was actually for Iris.

"Sister, this is for you."

Compared with the generosity and cheerfulness when she presented it to Lin Dun, Bella was obviously much quieter this time, but she still gave it out with a small head.

Iris was shocked by the girl's behavior.

She pointed to herself and said, "I'm a bad person, you actually want to send me flowers?"

"Why can't I give it to the bad guys?" Bella was puzzled by Iris' surprise, and said timidly, "Although my sister is a bad guy, I don't hate my sister! And my sister played with me just now."

"Take it, Iris." Linton smiled behind him, "Don't let her down."

"Thank you."

The girl took the flowers in a complicated mood, leaned close to Linton, and whispered, "Didn't you say that her mind is full of malice?"

Linton did not answer her words, but squinted at the girl: "Didn't you still doubt her before? Why did you buy a flower for you?"

"In that case, anyone will doubt it!" Iris said angrily, "It was my fault before, I was suspicious, okay!"

"Don't make trouble."

Linton waved his hand helplessly, and pondered: "My feeling is correct. The only explanation is that she lost something in time, including the concept of 'bad guy'."

"While she's still using bad guy as an adjective, it doesn't mean anything in itself—like we say apples are red."

Iris nodded half-understanding.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha--"

"why are you laughing?"

"It's not me, it's those little guys." Linton spread his hands innocently, pointing outside and said, "Perhaps, I know why the flowers here grow so well."

Iris looked up and saw several teenagers about fifteen or sixteen years old walking towards this side with tools such as kettles and scissors. She was a little surprised to see them in the yard.

One of the leading boys was the first to ask, "Who are you? Why are you at Bella's house?"

"That's right, that's right!" Bella excitedly tugged at the hem of Linton's clothes, "This is my home! I didn't lie to you!"

"I know." Linton smiled at the girl, and then looked at the little dolls again. Instead of answering their questions, he asked instead, "Have you been taking care of these flowers all this time?"

Several people on the opposite side were stunned by his anti-client question, and answered after a while: "It's us."

"Thank you!" Bella shouted excitedly, but when she found that the other party couldn't hear what she said, she pulled Linton again and blinked.

Linton patted her little head, and said to the teenagers, "Bella said, thank you."

"Are you Bella's friend too?" The eyes of the leading child lit up immediately, "Me too, my name is Calvin, what's your name?"

"Linton."

"Linton, I haven't heard of it. Bella hasn't told us when she has a new friend." Calvin was a little distressed, but then he was relieved, "Oh, it must be too late. If she can come back, she will definitely I introduced you to us, and then we will find the way out together. You are so tall, you must see farther."

Seeing that almost no lies with any gold content can fool a few people, Iris whispered: "These children are really innocent."

Linton ignored Iris, but frowned and asked, "You said you would find a way out together?"

"That's right!" Cavin said, "Bella pulled us and said that there are many interesting places outside, and she wanted to take us to see them together!"

"and then?"

"Then we set off together! It's a pity that not long after we went out, Bella suddenly said that there are bad guys not far ahead, and asked us to go back and find her parents to help her fight the bad guys."

"Then you went back to look for it?"

"Otherwise?" Calvin asked suspiciously, "We can't beat the bad guys, so we must ask adults for help?"

Linton frowned more and more tightly: "Did you find Bella's parents first?"

"Yes." Calvin didn't notice Linton's abnormality, and he almost knew everything, "After we called Bella's parents, they rushed out to find someone, and we went back to find ourselves Mom and Dad, but we searched for a long time, but couldn't find them."

Calvin's face suddenly turned a bit self-blaming: "It must be that Bella discovered the bad guys at the time, and she held them back to let us escape, but...we couldn't save her."

When he finished saying this, not only him, but the faces of the children behind him also dimmed.

"So you take care of the flowers"

"Are these flowers?" Calvin raised his head slightly and said, "These flowers were originally planted by Bella's parents, and Bella likes to fold these flowers the most. It must be very sad, right? So we come to take care of them every day, and hope that when Bella comes back one day, she can fold happily."

"call--"

Linton took a long breath and sighed, "Although it's bad to think like this, Iris, I have a bad feeling."

Iris sighed as she looked at the girl who suddenly started to tremble all over.

"Unfortunately, so am I."
