So, Yan Xiaoyu said nothing, followed the footsteps of the landlady, went behind the counter, and followed her into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there is a strong smell of Chinese medicine. The medicine jars are all placed. The stove has been turned off. It can be seen that the medicinal porridge has been cooked, sealed in bags, and placed on the table---
---
"Thank you, boss lady, for taking the trouble."
Xiaoyu thanked him, walked forward, picked up the bag prepared by the landlady, and began to slowly fill it.
"You're welcome, Miss," the landlady said, then smiled at her and walked out of the kitchen.
Xiaoyu knew in her heart that the proprietress had been avoiding her since she entered the pharmacy. The reason for this was undoubtedly what she had said to him in the car just now.
Presumably, even if she catches the landlady and interrogates her at this moment, she won't find out anything.
Therefore, Yan Xiaoyu did not chase after him or force him. Instead, he held the medicine bag in his hand, raised his eyes, and fixed his gaze on the boy who was waiting to collect the medicine jars in the corner——
"Loka..." Xiaoyu smiled at him, speaking in English in a friendly manner, "Thank you for helping me make the medicine. I want to ask you some questions, okay?"
Luo Ka was concentrating on cleaning up, still holding a lollipop in his mouth. At this moment, because of Xiaoyu's questions and reminders, he realized that there was someone beside him. When he saw clearly that the person next to him was Xiaoyu
At this moment, his expression changed, as if he was very nervous, he opened his mouth, the lollipop slid down and fell, and a pair of timid eyes stared at Yan Xiaoyu, not daring to speak.
"You seem to be afraid of me," Xiaoyu whispered, leaned closer, and asked lightly, "Are you naturally shy? It's okay, don't be afraid, I just have some simple questions to ask you, and I won't hurt you."
As she asked and approached, Luo Ka stepped back step by step. After finally retreating to the corner, he opened his eyes wide and stared at the door, looking like he wanted to escape.
"When we were in the warehouse..." Xiaoyu squatted down, looked at him levelly, and asked with a smile, "When you saw me, why did you tell me that the lady is back?"
Luo Ka shook his head violently and said nothing.
"Don't be afraid," Xiaoyu said in a gentle tone, "Just answer my questions honestly."
"I...I..."
Luo Ka hesitated and looked at her stuttering, unable to say a word.
Seeing that he was scared, Xiaoyu thought about it and decided to talk about other topics in a more tactful and roundabout way to make him let down his guard. So he thought about it, mentioned what he said before leaving last time and said in a low voice, "Okay, okay.
Don't be afraid, I just want to have a casual chat with you... I didn't see you last time, only your mommy and you. This time, it's still the same. Where is your daddy, isn't he in Chamonix?
Oh, by the way, you still have an uncle, right? Your uncle's name... seems to be Rosen, right? He hasn't come back yet, you..."
"Uncle Rosen...Uncle Rosen——!"
Luo Ka was suddenly frightened, pushed Yan Xiaoyu away, bent down, and ran outside -----
He ran out of the kitchen quickly, with a look of horror still on his face, which was completely different from what he had expected the last time he mentioned the word Uncle Rosen to his mother.
The little fish didn't know why, so he got up and wanted to catch up with him, but as soon as he stepped on it, he was about to walk out of the kitchen when he met the boss's wife who came over after hearing the noise.
