Teresa won't starve

When I went back to Little Coco's room again, I saw that Little Coco was still sitting next to the unfinished painting. I just sat next to Little Coco and looked at the 'painting' with her in a daze.

It wasn't until Little Keke noticed Teresa that she temporarily stopped the wonderful behavior of being in a daze together. (Actually, Teresa was thinking in a trance, not in a daze)

"Sister, why are you back? Did you bring all of Coco's crayons?"

"This." Teresa scratched her face with her fingers, and she was a little hard to tell what happened to her, regardless of whether Xiao Keke could understand it or not, she told her all about it: "... .That's it anyway, it might take a little longer."

Little Coco got up from the ground and stood taller than Theresa beside her, which allowed Little Coco to reach out and touch Theresa's head, and even touched Theresa's head like a small criminal and said: "Sister is such an idiot. Of course it's not feasible to do this."

"I allow you to reorganize the language, take the 'stupid' back for me!"

"Good stupid sister."

"..."

Forget it, Lord Teresa doesn't remember the villain's faults, she repeatedly recited Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji... and then her mood improved a lot. (self hypnosis)

"Then according to your words, do you know how to deal with them?"

"Ok!"

Little Keke nodded affirmatively, and told Teresa her method: "Actually, the best thing to deal with is the mouse. What do mice like to eat, sister doesn't know?"

"You mean—"

"Actually, about this point, Ke Ke reminded my sister from the beginning, does my sister still remember the color of the crayons that Ke Ke said?"

"Of course I remember, you said——!?"

Teresa immediately recalled that Little Keke's description of the color of the crayon at that time was neither yellow nor orange, but a very wonderful color - cheese color!

And the reason why the mouse girl stole this crayon is just because 'mouse likes to eat cheese'.

That's why after Teresa brought the canned beef over, the mouse girl said "although it's edible, but I don't like it".

It turned out that Teresa didn't understand the key issues from the beginning.

"It turned out to be like this!?"

"That's why I said my sister is a big fool..."

"Well, I just slip away easily, so I'm not an idiot!"

"Whatever sister says." Little Keke didn't hold on to this matter, but talked about the second matter: "Actually, I blame my sister for being too brainy. Since the sister next door has no idea of ​​communicating, why does my sister have to talk to her?"

"But communication without speaking is communication?"

"This is the limitation of thinking." Little Keke looked like "I understand it very well", and at the same time stretched out her little hand to Teresa: "Sister, give Coco the battery."

"Oh."

It was useless for Teresa to keep the battery, so she simply put it in the hands of Little Keke.

After Little Coco took the battery, she took out a small box with a square shape from her pocket, and stuffed the battery into the round hole on one side of the box, and opened the box lid to play soothing music.

This turned out to be a super mini music box.

Little Keke listened to the music, with nostalgia on her face.Then he put the music box back on and handed it to Teresa: "My sister took this music box and played it to the sister next door, and she would speak what was in her heart. At that time, it was up to the sister to judge for herself." .”

"Then if I..."

Little Coco pressed Teresa's mouth with her small hand, stopping her from continuing: "Don't tell Coco these words. As long as my sister thinks it's right, then feel free to do it."

"......I see."

Although Little Coco looks young, it is not practical to use age to divide people in places like dreams.

So Teresa didn't doubt Little Coco's sudden maturity, and even started to think about what Little Coco's "can't tell me" really meant.

"Then there is one last thing left." Seeing that Teresa was so 'obedient', Xiao Ke seemed a little happy—even though she didn't smile: "When you go outside to look for pumpkin lanterns, my sister is not allowed to bring any lights Equipment, oil lamps are not enough. Because jack-o-lanterns only glow in the dark. If my sister brought lighting equipment, she would not be able to find a jack-o-lantern. Without a jack-o-lantern, my sister would not be able to find a black crayon."

"Then don't I want to go in the dark?"

"This......"

Little Keke forgot that Teresa couldn't see the road at night, and it was inevitable that she would bump into something and even get hurt because of it.

So she thought for a while, and then when she saw the moonlight projected from outside, she remembered that there was another way.

"Sister, you can try to find the moonlight flower." Without waiting for Teresa to ask, Xiao Keke directly mentioned the source of the moonlight flower: "In the place where the silver moon in the sky directly shines, there will be moonlight flowers growing. If sister doesn't know where to find the pumpkin lantern, you can try to walk in the direction of the moonlight first. Find the pumpkin lantern after getting the moonlight. Or..."

"Or what?"

Little Coco shook her head, but didn't say anything.

"Sister, let's do the first two things first. Leave the part of finding the black crayon to the end. If...if it's possible, maybe my sister can get extra help."

"Assist means?"

However, Little Coco ignored Theresa no longer, and continued to daub crayons on her paintings, her concentration seemed obviously unable to communicate.

Teresa could only put down her doubts first, and took the music box to find Big Coco—although the mouse girl should be the easiest solution, the problem was that she didn't know where to find the cheese.

Is it possible to draw one for her?

457 "Fog Garden (33)"

dong dong dong.

He knocked on the door three times again, which was the third time Teresa came to knock on the door.

It's just that compared to the previous two times, after knocking on the door this time, the people inside didn't respond at all, even if Teresa put her ear on the door, she couldn't hear any movement.

Teresa could only use her trump card.

Open the music box and play it directly outside the door. It is estimated that even Little Coco can hear it, but I don’t know how Big Coco will react.

......

I just waited and waited until the melody of the music box ended, and no one inside had any intention of opening the door, and I didn’t know whether they didn’t hear it or pretended not to hear it.

Teresa could only close the music box, turn around and try to see if she could find even a small piece of cheese in the orphanage.

Click!

Just as Teresa lifted her foot to leave, she suddenly heard the sound of the door lock being unlocked. When she turned her head, she met the eyes of the person in the door, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

It wasn't until about a minute later that the people inside opened the door.

"Why didn't you continue playing it?"

"So you will open the door?"

"..." x2

The two questions were spoken almost simultaneously.

As for the language interference between the two sides, neither of them could hear clearly what the other party said just now.

The two sides were silent for a while, and in the end it was the older Big Coco who first opened the door completely and invited Teresa for the first time: "Come in first."

"Oh."

This time it was no longer a forced intrusion, nor was it an enemy looking at each other, but it seemed like an ordinary person visiting the house as a guest.

An appropriate invitation, a polite answer.

It's just that when Teresa sat on the other party's bed, she didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, she handed the music box to Big Coco.

After Big Coco took it, he skillfully opened the music box and closed it after listening for a while.

And said to Teresa: "Actually, I don't hate you, I just don't want to be understood."

"I know."

"you know?"

"There's never been any dislike for no reason, and if there is, it's because I don't know enough about it."

Da Keke actually laughed after hearing this, and no longer had a straight face: "It's great that you can be so considerate."

After continuing to play the music of the music box, Da Keke put the music box on the table and looked at Teresa who was sitting on the bed waiting for her: "Thank you for finding it for me. If I can, I can help you a favor."

After finishing speaking, I still don’t forget to mention one important sentence: “I won’t promise what I can’t do!”

"I understand."

Teresa originally wanted to ask her to take off the oil lamp for herself, but the answer she got from Xiao Keke was that the oil lamp was useless at all, so the rest should be——

"Have you any cheese here? Can I have some?"

"Yes, there is, but the food is not tasty, what do you want to come?" (Note)

Teresa didn't hide it, she just said it was used to trade things with mice.

"what?"

Big Coco took a closer look, and found that Teresa's canned beef had gone somewhere, and felt bad: "You don't know--"

"Yes."

"..."

What else can she say?

After Big Coco took out a small piece of cheese from the storage cabinet, he hesitated for a moment, then took out the remaining piece, which was wrapped in plastic wrap, and put them together in Teresa's hand.

"Eat this if you're hungry."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, after all, what you give me is the best..."

Big Coco didn't go on to say what she said later, but Teresa could guess it.

Now that she got what she wanted, Teresa didn't stay any longer, she told Big Keke, opened the door and went out.It's just that at the moment when the door was about to close, I heard Da Keke say.

"Well, can you..."

"Ok?"

Looking back at Da Keke, whose voice was getting lower and lower, it was really impossible to hear what she was saying clearly.

Big Coco was obviously also aware of this problem, and after taking a deep breath, he managed to muster up his courage again.

"Can I, please, do you one thing?"

"Let's talk about it first. If it's too difficult, I may not agree."

Listening to the slightly changed words with almost the same meaning, Da Keke suddenly had the illusion that everything was reversed, which made her feel very funny: "Then you should listen to it first. Afterwards, what you want to do is up to you." You decide."

"That is—" Da Keke paused for a moment, and almost held back as soon as he lost his momentum, and hurriedly said before his courage completely dissipated: "Please help me find my name."

"Your name?" Teresa said the name she guessed directly: "Isn't your name Coco?"

"My name is Coco, but it's not my real name. I hope to find it."

458 "Fog Garden (34)"

"Let me try it." Theresa decided to agree first, and it depends on the situation whether it can be done.Of course, it’s one thing to promise, and what should be asked is to ask: "Then you must tell me some clues? For example, where to look, who to ask, or what to look for."

Big Coco thought about it carefully, but he could only shake his head and say, "This... I don't know either."

If she knew, she would look for it by herself, and she didn't need Teresa's help.

"That's fine, I understand."

......

After leaving Big Coco's room, Teresa went to the mouse hole where the mouse girl was without any delay, and took out the piece of cheese she got from Big Coco in exchange for the mouse girl.

As soon as the mouse girl saw the cheese, she immediately stood up and snatched it; while sniffing the scent, she asked Teresa in surprise, "Where did you find this? I almost searched the house and couldn't find it!"

"Don't worry about that, you should give the crayons to me."

"Eh?"

Finding that Teresa had no intention of explaining, the mouse girl showed a little dissatisfaction.
