Su Li was sitting in the bright place under the vent making a stuffed doll, when she saw her sister jumping out of the vent holding bay leaves and perilla leaves in a hurry.Then, a cat's paw came in from the vent and scratched!

"Sister? You went out and ran around again!"

"Shh!" Arrietty raised her index finger and gestured at her sister: "Let's go! Let's go back! It's almost time for dinner! I picked bay leaves and perilla leaves today, and I plan to celebrate my mother's birthday in a few days Time to give it to her!"

Arrietty is a lively little girl, and she is also very courageous. Of course, she is also very skilled. Moreover, she has been busy practicing the skill of borrowing things these days.Tonight, she will go to the human house to borrow something with Papa Pod!

Yes, borrow.

Su Li's name in this life is Emilia, she is a borrower, well, she is a borrower.She knows more about the borrower than in the previous few worlds.After all, I read this series of fairy tales when I was a child - "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things", "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things in the Wild", "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things" and "The Little Man Who Borrowed Things Are in High Places" , "The Revenge of the Borrower".

Of course, the reason she remembered was that she had never read such a long fairy tale book...

But she, Arrietty, Mama Homily and Papa Pod were not in England, but were living under a traditional building in the Japanese countryside.Live a happy and simple life every day!

Borrowers, they are literally small, Papa Pod is the tallest in the family, but only 11.5cm, Mama Homily is 10.5cm, Arrietty is 10cm, and she, when she goes out in the morning, she I also measured it with the ruler in my room, 8.8 cm.Not as high as urban women's high heels!

Su Li's body was only five years old when she came over, and the original body was photographed by a cat's paw when it was ventilated.In the eyes of ordinary people, the height of a slightly high step is simply a high-rise building for Emilia, who was only four or five centimeters at the time.So, the original Emilia left, and Su Li came over.

At the beginning, she was really uncomfortable and uncomfortable.Although the place where they live has been well decorated after several generations of hard work, there is no shortage of small tables, chairs, bed cabinets and the like, and they are all in the style of human beings.But in terms of food and entertainment on weekdays, it is too lacking.

The bread they eat on weekdays is processed by crushing human biscuits, and the entertainment activities are only doing handicrafts and decorating the house.

And the light in the house was not good, although Papa Pod and Mama Homily gave her and Arrietty the two brightest rooms in the house, but they lived underground, and although they had the light brought by the vents, they could not. No matter how you say it, it is definitely not comparable to the big houses of human beings.There are also various insects that are bigger than their bodies haunting their house not far away. Every time they go out to let the wind go, they must pay attention to not being caught by the things they are holding.

It took a full two years for Su Li to finally get used to her current life.

All kinds of money and materials in the space are completely useless, after all, they are all human-sized.And until now, only Papa Pod went out to borrow things in the family, and he usually knew the most about what human things were in the house.There is no way to explain more things in plain sight...

Bored, she had no choice but to find some interest to cultivate—making dolls.

All kinds of animal dolls, stuffed with cotton or grass seeds, make your room look like a zoo.And her elder sister Arrietty likes flowers and plants, and the whole room is filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. Her room is as beautiful as a field, full of fresh and natural flavors.Mother Homily always liked to say that they were the director of the zoo and the director of the botanical garden.

She put the half-sewn jackrabbit and needlework into the small basket that Papa Pod wove for her, held Arrietty's hand in her hand, and bounced back to their cozy little home.

As a result, as soon as she got home, she was caught by Homily's mother: "Arrietty! You ran out to play again, didn't you?"

Sully waved to Mother Homily from the window of her sister's room, and walked down the corridor to her own room.He put the basket in his hand on the table in the room, jumped in from the window, opened his bedroom door and walked out.Arrietty was running into the water room with a large lily-of-the-valley in her arms, while Mama Homily followed behind with a bay leaf and basil, babbling.

"Mom! Is there any cotton at home? My jackrabbit is almost ready, I just need to put cotton in it." Su Li stepped forward and successfully rescued her sister.

Mother Homily put the bay leaf in the kitchen box, which contained many similar seasoning plants.Put the basil in the storage room again, turned around and walked to the stove made of flower pots to make tea for them, answering Su Li's question: "Yes, I will bring it to you later."

It didn't take long for Pod's father to come back with his exclusive loan bag: "There is an extra child in the human race."

Arrietty stood by the door and added, "I saw that too."

"Huh?" said Mother Homily, setting the teapot down on the table, and pointing at Arrietty threateningly.

"I was definitely not seen!" Arrietty had been looking forward to tonight's borrowing operation for a long time.At the moment, I don't want to give up tonight's action because there is one more person.

Su Li poured the tea into a cup and moved it in front of Pod's father, and sat down behind her: "Dad? Then are you going out to borrow things tonight?"

Hearing this, Homily's mother and Arrietty, who were still arguing, also looked over, one with worry and one with expectation.

Especially Arrietty, who leaned forward with a look of anticipation.

"Children should go to bed early..." Papa Pod's words successfully made Arrietty jump up happily, but Mother Homily was still a little dissatisfied, but Papa Pod, who was in charge of the family, So there was nothing Mum Homily could do if she was worried.

After they finished their dinner, Arrietty ran back to her room excitedly to make preparations before borrowing, while Su Li went back to her room and sat among the animal dolls all over the floor to sew her own jackrabbit. Dolls to add to your zoo.

It didn't take long for her to crawl into bed and fall asleep, not even knowing when her father and sister would come back.

In the middle of the night, thunder suddenly sounded, waking Su Li from her sleep. She climbed up to go to the toilet and fell asleep again with the sound of thunder and rain.She didn't know what had happened until the next morning from the depressed Arrietty.

She hugged the little bear doll and patted Arrietty's arm: "It's okay! Dad will definitely take care of it!"

After breakfast, the two sisters stood at the dining table and took the biscuits borrowed by Pod's father, smashed them one by one and stored them.Occasionally, of course, they got rice, but the rice was kept under the floor, and Papa Pod only borrowed a few grains of rice when the family upstairs dropped out the rice.So what they ate most of the time was bread made of flour pounded from biscuits, and potatoes.

It's been raining outside, and because it's below, the house is full of moisture.The sweltering summer heat is extremely uncomfortable.No wonder she hasn't seen any borrowers other than their family since she got here.This world is really too cruel for their villains!

Not to mention those small birds outside, small frogs, small animals that can eat them casually.Let's talk about food, even if they can grow potatoes or other food by themselves, the problem is that they can't dig out those foods when they grow up!Unless there is a place that only they can borrow, then dozens or hundreds of villains can work together!

The sisters smashed a few biscuits and stopped. This is also a laborious job, and the rest will be ready after lunch.

Sully ran to her room and took out the half-made jackrabbit yesterday, sat down beside Mama Homily, who was knitting a scarf, and took out her needle and thread to start again.

Arrietty was still depressed and walked out alone.She ran to the door to have a look, and found that she was sitting on the broken flower pot under the vent, and then ran back with peace of mind.

At noon, I helped Homily's mother cook vegetable soup, and the whole family ate their simple but warm lunch together.As a result, Arrietty said something that immediately caused the whole family to panic——

"What did you say? There's a sugar cube?" said Mother Homily, her eyes wide as she held the tray.She is the least courageous one in the family, so she can't panic now.

Papa Pod was the most unflappable of the family, at least, from the looks of it.He sat at the table and looked at Arrietty: "Absolutely don't take it."

"kindness……"

Su Li took the sliced ​​bread and looked at Papa Pod: "Then shall we move?"

Mother Homily opened the chair and sat down, and looked at Papa Pod: "I don't want to move, this house is so comfortable..."

"Let's see the situation first..." Pod didn't want to move either.The place where they live now has become so beautiful and comfortable after the hard work of three generations, and it is no worse than human houses.However, if they are really found out, they must move...

This is the criterion of their borrowers. Once discovered by humans, they must move.Can't risk it!

Mother Homily was worried and angry: "It's a trap! It must be a trap set to catch us!"

Pod's father still looked calm: "It seems that you can't go out to borrow things during this time." But the supplies at home are not enough...

"Maybe we've been discovered!" Mother Homily patted the table angrily, then looked at Papa Pod with a mournful face: "Pod, we're moving..."

"Let's take a look at the situation for now..."
