Chapter 9 The Secret of Time Travel 3
"Do you still remember where your family lived 10 years ago?" After being reminded by Mi Lin, I realized that Mi Lin actually took me to the community where my family lived 10 years ago.
This is the second home I have ever lived in.
The first home was the dormitory of my father's company, and I have a vague impression of it. The second home was because my father resigned and started his own business, and he could no longer live in the company dormitory, so my parents took me to rent a new house.
The community is not big, with five or six buildings forming a circle with a small garden in the middle. Next to the garden is a small open space with a colorful slide.
"Mi Lin, why don't you use your super powers to find it?" I asked curiously, "Are you worried about the butterfly effect as well?"
Mi Lin looked up at the community and said, "That's right. This is the world of the past. The lower our presence and the fewer traces of our existence, the better. If the energy of superpowers is too strong, the consequences may be more serious."
I rolled my eyes, gave a sly smile and said, "Milin, do you mean that I can only rely on my memory now?"
"Yes." Mi Lin admitted frankly.
"Hehe, then you have to listen to me in everything." I began to think about how to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Mi Lin.
Humph, who was he to always ignore me and even bring me bad luck from time to time ? Now the situation has changed, and it is finally my turn to sing, haha!
Just when my mind was full of evil ideas, a familiar voice sounded in front of me: "Xiao Xixi, run slower, be careful not to fall."
Isn't this... my mother's voice?
I quickly looked up and saw a woman in a red sweater and black skirt chasing a little girl with a smile on her face.
She looked like a much younger mother.
The little girl in front of her had two shoulder-length braids with colorful flowers on them. She was wearing a green skirt and was jumping up and down in front of her: "Mom, come and catch me, come and catch me."
Needless to say, that was the young me!
I stared at my little self closely, feeling extremely excited.
I never thought that I would actually meet my childhood self. Or rather, my childhood self has actually met my future self, but I have no memory of it at all.
Hmm, that's strange. Is my appearance so different from now when I was a child? Although my facial features are somewhat similar at first glance, they are not beautiful at all. I can only call them cute, right?
I looked at myself again and again in amazement, and couldn't believe that I was so inconspicuous when I was a child.
Mi Lin noticed my expression and looked in that direction. When he saw the small me, he suddenly said, "Strange, that's not right."
Hearing his inexplicable words, I asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"That's you, but it's not you." Mi Lin said with her arms folded across her chest, "The bones in your head are slightly different from hers, but the overall situation is no different from yours. So she is you, but something must have happened to cause a huge change in you when you were a child, which led to the you later."
Mi Lin's series of "yous, yous" almost confused me, but I still understood what he meant. After thinking carefully, I shook my head and said, "I'm sure nothing special happened. I have been very healthy since I was a child. I have never been sick, and I have never encountered any disasters."
"That's even stranger. Because the change that happened to you has greatly increased your overall ability value. If there is no special external reason, it is impossible for you to have such a change on your own."
Mi Lin's words reminded me of what he said the day before, and I suddenly felt unhappy: "Didn't you say that even without super powers, I would still be excellent? Are you denying my efforts now?"
I thought Mi Lin would stick to his previous opinion , but he said, "Although I don't want to lie to you, it seems to be true."
I was stunned at first, then I flew into a rage: "You're going too far."
Facing my anger, Mi Lin said calmly: "I am just telling the truth."
"You, you..." I pointed at Mi Lin and was so angry that tears came out.
“Woof woof, woof woof…”
Just when Mi Lin and I were at a stalemate, I suddenly heard a dog barking. Then I turned around and grabbed my mother's hand and ran forward: "Mom, hurry up."
What happened up front?
I wanted to go over, but I was worried that Mi Lin would say no. But I just showed my face as if I was going to have a fight, and now he wants me to talk to him first. How can I afford to lose face like that?
And this damn Mi Lin, who uses mind reading all the time, why doesn't he follow my wishes and give me a way out at the critical moment?
Just as Mirin and I were staring at each other , the little me ran over crying, and the direction it was heading seemed to definitely pass by where I was standing.
That means if I don’t get out of the way, the little me will definitely bump into me.
Compared to the butterfly effect, what does it matter if I give in first? Anyway...anyway, I always give in to Mi Rin. Woohoo, I've already lost my face, why am I still holding on!
I grabbed Mi Lin's sleeve and walked to the side: "Don't stand there, you'll block me." After thinking about it, I realized that this statement didn't make sense , so I quickly added, "Stop little me."
Mi Lin didn't move: "She won't come running over."
Hey, why is he so sure?
"Xiao Xixi, there's danger." Just when I was about to fall, my mother rushed over from behind and hugged me around the waist.
I burst into tears as a little kid, struggling as I cried: "Mom is a bad guy. The dog is so pitiful, but she still won't take it home."
The mother said sadly: "Our house is too small, and the landlord does not allow pets. If we adopt it, the landlord will kick us out too."
I watched my mother's sad face as a little kid, and slowly stopped crying. She hugged her mother and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I shouldn't have been so willful."
My mother hugged me tightly and said, "Don't be sad, Xiao Xixi. I have a good idea. Let's build a nest for the dog, feed it every day, and find a master for it. What do you think?"
"Okay, OK." I jumped down from my mother's arms, held her hand and said, "Let's go home and get some good food for the dog, and make a warm nest for it."
Watching my mother holding my hand as I walked into the community, I asked Mi Lin, "What should we do next? Oh, how long will we stay here? It won't be several days, right? What if we get hungry?"
Mirin looked at me like I was a fool and said, "We can just go tomorrow!"
Yes, it's just like ! You can fast forward whenever you want!
"Uncle, are you willing to adopt another dog?" The little me mustered up the courage to stop a man who was taking his dachshund out for a walk and asked.
The man smiled and said, "Little sister, what does your dog look like?"
I, a little kid, excitedly dragged out an extremely ugly dog from the simple doghouse under my tree and held it up like a treasure: "That's it. Isn't it cute?"
The local dog whimpered a few times in an attempt to please, but unfortunately, instead of looking cuter, it made him look ugly.
The dachshund barked and tried to charge at him. The man quickly grabbed the leash and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, little sister. I already have a dog and can't have a second one. You should find someone else to adopt it."
As I watched the man and the dachshund run away, I was so frustrated that I held the dachshund and asked my mother, "Mom, why doesn't anyone like dogs?"
After hesitating for a while, my mother said, "Someone will like it."
Mi Lin and I stood not far away and watched this scene. I frowned because I couldn't remember anything about this.
"Sister, do you want to have a dog?"
"Auntie, do you want to have a dog?"
I was disappointed again and again. When it was getting dark, a boy about her age came over. I immediately ran over and said enthusiastically, "Hello, do you want to keep a dog?"
The little boy replied coldly: "How dare you ask me if I want such an ugly dog?"
This tone, this expression, this hairstyle...
I squinted my eyes and looked at it carefully, then suddenly shouted to Mi Lin: "Isn't that you?"
Mi Lin looked up and down and said, "Yes, it is indeed me."
