    ?

    "Say! Why are you here!" Zhou Yangyang was imposing, with his hands on his hips and frowning, just like a vicious veteran interrogating enemy spies in TV dramas.

    The principal looked at him with blinking eyes, and begged, "Can I sit down and have a rest? My feet are already tired from standing."

    "I'm tired after standing for a short while, and my feet are not tired yet." Zhou Yangyang said angrily, gently rubbing the place on his palm where he had bitten with his mouth.  The short child in front of him seemed to have little strength, and he was not soft at all when biting. After so long, he could still see faint bruises on it.

    "I'm not the same as you guys" the little man, the principal, hesitated and said, "Actually, I'm not a child"

    "Not a child? Do you still want to say that you are a goblin?" Zhou Yangyang stared, stepped forward and grabbed his ear, "If you are dishonest, I will let those goblins come in to punish you now. They  After suffering so much, I must have a lot of dissatisfaction with you."

    "Don't, don't, don't!" The principal, the little man, took two steps back in fright, and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Can't I tell the truth"

    With his head down, he kept rubbing the front of his clothes with his hands, crumpled a good nightgown, and said after a while, "Actually, I have lived here for many years, so long that I don't even know how many years."  .I just remember it was a snowy day¡­¡±

    On that snowy night many years ago, the little man who was not the director of Fairy World only drank half a bowl of rice soup for dinner, and was so hungry that his stomach growled before nine o'clock.  He really wanted to eat something more, but there was no rice for the pot at home.  In those days, hunger followed people like a shadow, and no one dared to pat their chests and say that they could have enough food every meal.

    There are many strong men in the village, and the rations are sufficient.  Evil comes from the guts, and stealing is the only option for the hungry who want a good meal.

    Usually this kind of thing is done by children. Adults stealing and being caught will be embarrassing, and maybe they will be punished by the commune. Children are different.  Even if he is caught, a scrawny child is more likely to get sympathy from his master. If he is lucky, he may even be able to bring back a small bag of rice without any effort.

    "Stealing is wrong!" Fang Xiaoyuan interrupted the principal, "No matter how greedy you are, don't steal!" She said righteously.  No matter what you want, as long as it belongs to someone else, you can't just take it without saying anything. This is the truth that parents have repeatedly emphasized since she was in kindergarten.

    "I'm not greedy!" The head of the garden, the little man, scratched his neck to defend, and became emotional, "I'm hungry! Hungry, do you understand?"

    Fang Xiaoyuan didn't understand.  She had never been hungry until she was ten years old, except for the few times when she lost her temper with her mother and refused to eat.  For a snack like Fang Xiaoyuan, when he is hungry, his temper will disappear.

    Zhou Yangyang touched her arm, "Don't worry, listen to him first."

    "I was unlucky. Not only did I not steal the rice, but I was arrested. The family beat me out and cursed so loudly that the whole village could hear it."  Back to that cold winter night.

    He was beaten for not stealing rice. The little man didn't want to go home, so he walked alone on the dirt road in the village.  It's freezing cold, and the soil splashed all over the trouser legs when you run in the mud in summer becomes hard and creaks when you step on it.  Snowflakes fell from the sky at this time.  They fell on the ends of the little man's eyebrows and hair, and penetrated into his collar and cuffs, bringing a chill.

    "I was too cold, so I wanted to find a place to hide. At that time, there happened to be an abandoned boiler room in the village, and there was a big chimney next to it. I got into the chimney and came here."

    Fang Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yangyang looked at each other, but neither of them spoke first.  At first they suspected that the little gardener was just making up a story, but when they heard about the chimney, they felt that the story might be true.

    "Then what happened afterwards?" Zhou Yangyang asked, "How did you become the head of the garden? And why did you want to completely separate the fairy world from the human world?"

    The head of the garden, Xiao Rener, immediately shook his head, "I didn't do this. The Yongri Grassland already existed when I first came in. All of this was Grandpa Tu's idea. It said that it would be harmful to humans and elves."  Saying it is the best way.¡±

    "Who is Grandpa Tu?"

    "It's my teacher," said the headmaster, "before I became the headmaster of the goblin world, it was the manager here."

    Hearing that there is more than one manager in this fairy world, Fang Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yangyang almost dropped their jaws.  It is already so difficult to deal with such a small person as the director, it is hard to imagine that there is another enemy they need to deal with.

    "Grandpa Tu is a good person," the principal, the little man, seemed to see their intentions, and quickly explained, "No, it should be said that he is a good person.fine.  "

    "It took me in when I had nowhere to go, so that I could stay in the goblin world and not have to go back to starve." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of the principal's mouth.  "It taught me a lot of mantras to stay in this world forever."

    Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyuan was very confused, "What does it mean to be able to stay in this world forever? You don't want to leave, so just stay here forever? No need for any spells. Besides, don't you miss your father?  Mom? And your relatives?"

    "Compared to missing them, I want to have enough food." The head of the garden showed a determined expression, his fists clenched tightly, "Only here can I have enough food."

    "How is it possible?" Fang Xiaoyuan was puzzled by this, she patted her bulging belly, then touched her "strong" arm, "I came from the human world, you think I can't get enough to eat  Meal? What you said must have happened a long time ago. Although I don't know how long you have lived here, the outside world has changed a lot!"

    Probably because her figure was too convincing, the tightly held hands of the head principal gradually loosened.  He sighed and said repeatedly, "I don't want to leave here. Once I leave, I will never come back. This is my home."

    Fang Xiaoyuan giggled twice, "That's not true, what kind of picture grandpa you mentioned did use the Yongri Grassland to separate the fairy world from the human world, but we can still get in. Even if you go out, think  You can come back and play anytime.¡±

    The garden principal shook his head, "Impossible. For human beings, there are only fairies in the world of children. Once they grow up, this whole world of fairies will cease to exist. Over the years, I have relied on  The spell can stay in the state of a child, and the spell will disappear when I leave the fairy world, and I will grow up."

    He raised his head, his eyes were flickering, "I don't want to grow up."

    Looking at the little adult in front of him who didn't want to grow up, Fang Xiaoyuan and Zhou Yangyang didn't know what to say.  Suddenly, the floor under the three of them shook violently, and the sound of boulders rolling down and hitting the ground could be heard next to their ears.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
