Chapter 1014: The Story of 'Nian'
There was silence in the ice cream shop, and everyone looked at McGonagall with a strange expression.
A strange disease that even natural magic can't do, McGonagall actually said that she can be cured by eating braised pork for three meals a day at a restaurant? That's ridiculous, isn't it?
"It's a bit too much to even spare the money of the children who are about to leave this world, right?" Bloor looked at McGonagall, frowning slightly.
"Although the food made by the boss is indeed delicious and magical, can it really cure little Kyle's illness?" Mia is also a little unsure, although McGonagall has always been very reliable, but after all, this is about whether little Kyle can survive, is it really a bowl of braised pork can be cured?
Curtis also opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while, this was the first time he heard the word healing from other people's mouths, and he had repeatedly failed to heal, watching Kyle's condition get worse and worse, he actually didn't have much hope in his heart.
But after all, this gentleman opened a restaurant, not a pharmacy, and his so-called ancient recipe was not a medicinal herb or a healing method, but went to his restaurant to eat, and also pointed out one of the dishes?
If this happened outside, he would definitely have a big slap in the face of this liar.
But after all, they had just thrown such a birthday party for Kyle, and the Miss Magician had extended Kyle's life for ten days, and this Mr. McGonagall didn't look like a liar, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Boss Mai, the child's situation ...... It may be more serious than you think......" Hee Hee looked at McGonagall and stopped, she knew that McGonagall's cooking did have many magical effects, and even rejuvenated his World Tree, but she had just checked little Kyle's body, and his body functions had been completely destroyed, even if he used life magic, there was no way to save him.
"When I said this, I really didn't even dare to believe it." McGonagall looked at everyone's expressions, and felt a little helpless in her heart, if it was him, it was estimated that the fist would have been printed on the other party's face.
"My father said that if I can cure him, then I will definitely be able to cure him, and I believe in my father." Amy walked out with a snowball in her hand and looked at McGonagall with determination.
"I believe in Uncle McGonagall too." Anna nodded.
Looking at the trusting eyes of the two little guys, McGonagall gradually believed in herself, looked at Curtis and said calmly: "Mr. Curtis, you may think it is a little strange to say this, but I can be responsible for what I said. Of course, you're little Kyle's father, and you have the right to decide whether to trust me or not. ”
Hee Hee looked at McGonagall's expression, thought for a moment, and stopped talking.
She has always felt that Boss Mai is a steady and kind person, and he will never joke about this kind of thing, he will speak so firmly, most likely there is really a way.
Everyone's eyes gradually became convinced that there was no shortage of customers in the restaurant, and no matter how many people lined up to eat, there was no need for McGonagall to cheat people into a meal of braised pork.
Curtis hesitated, if Kyle was really leaving, he wanted to take him back to his homeland, he hadn't left the City of Chaos yet.
But if what McGonagall said was true, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life if he missed a chance to keep Kyle alive.
"Father, I want to try what this uncle said." At this moment, little Kyle walked over, stretched out his little hand to take Curtis's hand, and looked up at him, "I still want to live with you......"
Curtis's tears suddenly broke down, and he wiped them indiscriminately, looked at McGonagall and said, "Mr. McGonagall, I believe in you, as long as I can cure Kyle, I am willing to give you all my property, please save him......"
McGonagall reached out to hold Curtis, who was about to kneel again, smiled and shook her head: "I don't want your property, you just need to settle the bill when you order food every day, there are more customers in the restaurant, remember to bring your children to line up early." ”
"Okay, I will." Curtis nodded vigorously, his eyes full of gratitude.
The children played in the snow for a while and the birthday party ended on a cheerful note.
Opening the gate, the three children ran out first.
"It's snowing! It's really snowing! ”
Amy's voice of surprise came from outside.
Everyone walked out, and their faces were also surprised, and the light snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, looking very beautiful.
"The first snow of the year came a little earlier than usual." Yabei Mia reached out to catch a few snowflakes, watched them melt in her palm, and said with a smile.
Although the children had been playing in the snow all night, they were still very excited to see the snowflakes in the sky.
"Alright, Amy, we should go back, we have class tomorrow." McGonagall said with a smile.
"Goodbye, everyone." Amy picked up the ugly duckling, waved to the crowd, ran to McGonagall's side, and took his hand.
Everyone also said goodbye and left.
……
"Father, I'm so happy today, thank you." In the carriage, Kyle looked at his father with his arms around him and said with a smile.
"My father was very happy, too." Curtis hugged Kyle tightly and said softly, "It's okay, you'll be fine soon, and then you can have a snowball fight with your kids in the snow." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
……
After washing, Amy lay on the small bed, put her little hand on the belly of the ugly duckling to warm it, looked at McGonagall sitting on the edge of the bed with anticipation, and said, "Father, when it comes to tomorrow morning, will the whole world be covered with snow?" ”
"If the snow is heavy enough tonight, it should be like this." McGonagall smiled and nodded, counting the days, according to the days on earth, it is almost the New Year, I don't know if the cold home can still get together without herself, but ...... It must be as cold as ever.
"Great! It must be super pretty! Amy's eyes were shining, and she said happily.
McGonagall looked at Amy, who was smiling, and her heart suddenly moved, he didn't know how many years he hadn't spent the New Year carefully, because every time he celebrated the New Year, he couldn't even get together the family, so he gradually became the one who was absent.
But now it's different, he has Amy, and spending the New Year with her, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival before, I think it will be a very interesting thing, right?
"Father, what story are you going to tell me today?" Amy asked.
"Today, my father will tell you a story about 'Nian'." McGonagall laughed, "Once upon a time, in a place called China, there was a monster called 'Nian', which had sharp horns on its head, and it was very fierce and terrifying......"
