It would be evident if the patient were mentally ill. But the older man’s grandson just seemed manic. Other than that, he was no different than an average person.
Before Fang Liu and the others left, Da Bao turned on his computer to play chess. Fang Liu glanced at the boy and saw that he was playing quite steadily. ‘How strange.’
The three were about to return to their hostel when they saw a little girl poking her head out from behind a stack of firewood on the right side of the older man’s house. The little girl was looking at Fang Liu and the
others.
The little girl was about the same size as Da Bao. Her big clear eyes were adorable. Fang Liu was fond of children, so she walked forward and asked the little girl, “What are you doing here, little girl?”
The little girl looked at the beautiful Fang Liu and thought that she was even more gorgeous than the celebrities she saw on television. ‘She looks like a fairy princess!’ The little girl smiled shyly and said, “I saw you go
into Uncle Tang’s house. Did you come to see Da Bao?”
‘This little girl knows Da Bao?’ Fang Liu was surprised, but she soon remembered that this was a small village and that the families in the area were familiar with each other.
However, Fang Liu wasn’t sure if the little girl knew about Da Bao’s condition. Since the older man told them not to tell others about Da Bao, Fang Liu presumed that the little girl might not have known.
As Fang Liu thought of this, she asked the little girl, “Are you a friend of Da Bao? Have you come here to visit him?”
Fear filled the little girl’s eyes when she heard Fang Liu’s words. “I-I never play with Da Bao. He likes to hit people and dogs too.”
Ever since Fang Liu heard Da Bao bark, she became susceptible to the word dog. Fang Liu became curious when she heard the little girl’s explanation. ‘Da Bao hits dogs?”
Fang Liu was about to ask her to explain further, but the little girl suddenly said, “Oh no! I haven’t cooked lunch yet. I’ll take my leave, Fairy Princess. M-My house is just across the street if you want to come and play
with me, okay?”
After saying that, the little girl ran away as her two braids bounced around. When the little girl left, Fang Liu and the others returned to their hostel.
After having lunch, the director and cameraman had nothing else to do, so they decided to take an afternoon nap.
The two crew members probably felt that the older man wouldn’t allow them to continue filming, so they might as well enjoy their stay until it was time for them to return to the city.
However, Fang Liu couldn’t sleep. Her heart skipped a beat when she thought of Da Bao’s condition.
Mo Yu wanted to call Fang Liu, but the signal in the countryside wasn’t stable. Mo Yu’s calls couldn’t go through, so he could only text Fang Liu. He asked Fang Liu if she was tired while complaining that the countryside
was a godforsaken place because of the unstable signal.
Fang Liu told Mo Yu about what happened, but she didn’t mention that the older man had treated her poorly or that she was scared of the little boy. Fang Liu only described her experience lightly, leaving out some
details.
After reading Fang Liu’s message, Mo Yu replied, “I hope you don’t return to that place. What kind of people are they? They’re barbaric and vulgar, and the child barks? There’s something you don’t hear about every day.
You better come home soon, baby. I’m not going to let you do this type of thing again.”
Fang Liu chatted with Mo Yu and comforted him. She even sent pictures of the beautiful flowers she saw by the roadside and sent them to Mo Yuas she changed the subject of the conversation.
As Fang Liu walked, she arrived at the little girl’s home. At this moment, the people in the village were probably done having lunch. Fang Liu thought of the little girl’s words and looked around in a daze.
Coincidentally, the little girl happened to be doing her homework in the courtyard. She was sitting on a small bench with her homework on a small table.
The little girl looked up and saw Fang Liu, then the little girl quickly greeted Fang Liu and said, “Miss, you’re here. Come on over!”
Fang Liu approached the little girl embarrassedly. She enthusiastically made some tea and offered it to Fang Liu. Then the little girl cupped her chin and looked at Fang Liu. “Are you here to see me, miss?”
Fang Liu smiled and replied politely, “Yes, | am. Are you doing your homework?”
The little girl pouted and said, “Yes, but I don’t know how to answer these questions.”
Fang Liu looked at the little girl’s homework and noticed there were indeed some challenging elementary questions. Fang Liu had nothing else to do, so she helped the little girl with her homework.
With Fang Liu’s help, the little girl quickly finished her homework.
Then the two chatted casually. Fang Liu remembered what the little girl had said to her before, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Chun Ni, you mentioned that Da Bao usually hits people and dogs?”
The little girl’s name was Chun Ni. When she heard Fang Liu’s question, she nodded with a frown and said, “Yes, Da Bao is so fierce. We can’t tame him, so he just bullies us.”.
