When I arrived in the living room, my eyes were immediately welcomed with a view of half-finished snacks that filled the entire table in the living room. Like bread, traditional Elves cakes, something that looks like candy and even some types of food there. These scents and snacks also remind me of the food available on the Ladur train.
But that's not what I care about.
Why doesn't she make it in the kitchen, I don't ask about this, the problem here is why this food is here at this time, the food even looks like it's just been made.
I immediately turned my gaze to the little girl behind, as the only person who still hadn't fallen asleep until now.
Not possible right?
"Little girl, are you making something?"
"Yes, but actually I didn't make it from the start, I just finished a bit of my mother's work, like beautifying it and giving some decorations"
Still it's awesome, how old is it? Did she accidentally wake up at night for this? Even if the person is poor, I only see cases of small children working hard like in the morning, not in the middle of the night like this.
"Do you do this every day?"
If she also does this every day, it is even more amazing but for me it also includes actions that are not right, a child must have enough sleep, whether for his health or growth.
If she is sick, she will only be more troublesome to his mother and brother.
"Initially not every day, once I woke up at night because of a nightmare, if I wake up at night like that, I would have trouble falling asleep again, I'm lonely but I also don't want to disturb my mother and brother because they have to work the next day, because it's fun doing these little things and now I'm getting used to it, even though it's not a nightmare I will always wake up in the middle of the night. anyway ... "
That is a bad habit, if it is me, I will definitely avoid habits like this, unless I am forced to prefer activities during the day.
"... said dad doing these things will make mom feel happy"
The nature that is so today, I still don't understand where and how she got it, she lives hard but not to the point
"This is not a good thing, little girl, you are still small, your body is still weak, if you are sick, not only that it will make your mother and brother sad but it will also bother them"
"Uncle may be right, but I still want to do it, because I also know this won't last long, so far the oldest brother covering my work, after she died mother would be suspicious when I continued this secretly "
No wonder, I wondered how his unsuspecting mother saw his work done by someone without knowing, it turned out that his brother was covering it up.
But with this, isn't it just like she works in the shadow? She doesn't even want praise.
This stubborn girl, I don't know what else to do to persuade her.
Don't wait, why do I have to persuade her in the first place? Am I touched by his mature mindset? Or am I not reminded of my dead sister?
It's really not like my usual self, I even forgot my main goal here.
And also what did this girl do, why did she continue to work? Normally in a situation like this, she must call an acquaintance from the guest who came, right?
Where is the sensitivity and maturity before?
It seems that I myself must take the initiative to remind.
"Little girl, can I bother you to call your brother here?"
"Not"
"..."She really refused me right away.
"Ladur's brother has to work tomorrow, if uncle wants to meet him, uncle has to wait a few more hours"
Now the sensitivity is back again, but waiting? With my blood-filled appearance?
I come here to take a bath and rest, but if there is no Ladur I prefer not to do it and defend my situation like this.
At least I don't want to take a shower, I feel that if I take a bath in the middle of the night like this with only a little girl still awake, the god will send deathflag to my life.
The headache felt worse, the energy in my body had recovered a little but the previous symptoms were not gone.
In the past this level of fatigue could still be tolerated, I was used to it, and because of my accustomed mind I still survived until now, but my still weak body might not be able to hold it anymore.
Leaning on the chair, I slowly closed my eyes.
Even though I can't fall asleep at this time, I can still enter in a half-awake state.
I used to be taught this trick by a friend, even though it can't be compared to the actual rest but if in a state of urgency, this trick is quite helpful.
Leave blank thoughts without thinking about anything, and reduce sensory performance and perception in order to reduce the workload of the brain.
Under normal circumstances if someone is approaching or watching me, I will definitely feel it, but in a state of being half awake like this, I will only be able to feel things that are really close to me, even then I only feel it vaguely.
As of now, I can still hear the activities and calls of Ladur's sister.
"Are you sleeping?
At times like I just need to ignore the interference and try to make the mind more relaxed, in order to reduce mental fatigue and accelerate the revitalization of the body's energy.
I can't take a shower, but at least I want to rest, unfortunately this little girl won't let me just fall asleep.
"Hey uncle, are you really asleep?"
"..." unconsciously my eyebrows twitched.
"Uncle, don't sleep, uncle!"
Even so, my determination still hasn't faltered, just ignore it, just ignore it.
"I need your help uncle, so please don't sleep first"
I had closed my eyes and ignored his call, shouldn't she think I was sleeping and wouldn't bother me anymore?
Seeing how stubborn this girl is, I have a feeling even if I really fall asleep, this girl will definitely bother me until I wake up.
I started to hate this girl a little.
In the end, along with a sigh, I opened my eyes again. Look at Ladur's sister and try to answer patiently.
"What's wrong, little girl?"
"Can uncle help me stir the dough?"
"Why should I help you?"
Really, did she tell me to work, tired like this?
"Come on uncle, this is also uncle after all, come and disturb me while working"
She blamed me? Did she just blame me?
She was clearly lying, I was sure she had said before that she only decorated and beautified, and the purpose of the dough is clearly the main ingredient?
"I refuse"
"If uncle doesn't want to, I'll shout, this uncle is a pedophile, who in the middle of the night quietly entered this house, to kidnap me"
Wtf ??
Is this cunning girl, still the same girl with attention and previous understanding? How can the difference in treatment be so far.
"Well, I understand, I'll help you, but I want to clean my hands first, where is the bathroom?"
Damn, don't smile. The smile on the girl's lips really made me cringe.
"Over there"
His hand pointed towards the back of the house. I immediately got up from the chair and walked in the direction the little girl was pointing at.
I really hate this girl.
