"You'll have to stay in the lotus leaf for now."

"I'll go dig up some wild game and see if I can sell it at the nearby market for some money."

"Once we sell it, we'll buy you a clay pot and get you a bigger house."

Chi Yuan coaxed the little guy, holding him in his hands.

A big house?

The baby has a big house because Daddy Shen has a big house.

The house is so big, the little octopus can swim around with its babies for a really, really long time!

The baby lives with his fathers, and doesn't Chi's father also live with Chen's father?

Why do we still need to buy a big house for our child?

The little guy swam around in the tiny lotus leaf basket, while his father, holding him up, hurried on his way.

I don't know how long we walked, but the little one could see the twinkling lights in the sky before the father finally stopped.

"Let's sleep here tonight."

Chi Yuan pulled out a patchwork quilt from the package. It was a modified version of the quilt, with long ropes sewn onto the four corners.

That way, you can just find two trees, tie them up, and sleep there. It also helps you avoid attacks from wild animals. How great is that?

The little one was held in his father's pocket, watching his father jump and leap in the woods by the river. Suddenly, the little guy really wanted to snuggle up to his soft and sweet father.

If Daddy Shen were here now, he would definitely hug and kiss the baby, and then sit on the ground with the baby to watch Daddy Chi jump around.

So when will Daddy Shen arrive? I just told the baby that he'll be there very soon. How long is "very soon"?

The child was about to count on his fingers when he realized he had no fingers or feet.

Okay, the bad guy who turned into a fish is the one who can't understand one, two, three.

The child has recently taken a liking to using "synonyms," referring to bad things as "bad egg" and good things as "good egg."

Shen Yulou thought, how could this not be considered a kind of profound simplicity?

"Get some water and some dry food to eat."

Chi Yuan took out his tinderbox and lit it. The firelight illuminated the dark open space and also chased away the chill of the night.

He put down his book box, took out some dried sweet potatoes from his bundle, and chewed them away, drinking water as he chewed.

If nothing unexpected happens, his staple food for the remaining four months will be dried sweet potatoes, fried rice, and some dried meat, but only a few pieces, which he will have to eat sparingly.

Meat is so expensive, sob sob...

Chi Yuan stared blankly at the tranquil lake, then casually pinched some fried rice for his son to eat.

"Eat quickly, or you'll go hungry."

He gently stroked the baby's head and played with him.

On a quiet and lonely night, the presence of this cute little fish made the night feel much more lively.

Life always has things to hold you back.

Before he knew it, the water in the kettle was gone. Chi Yuan patted the little guy in his pocket and ran to the river to refill his water bottle.

The little one stared at the strange food floating overhead, opened his mouth, took a bite, and savored it with smacking sounds.

Hey, little one wants to drink milk! He wants to eat grass.

The little guy spat out the fried rice from his mouth.

As Chi Yuan leaned forward to put the water bottle into the water, his pocket also began to tilt, and the water in the lotus leaf roll flowed out.

The baby also fell back into the river.

It's Daddy Shen! Daddy Shen is here!

Chi Yuan was startled and was about to reach out to scoop it up when the baby swam away right in front of him.

Chi Yuan was stunned when his travel companion disappeared due to his negligence, and he stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what expression to make.

A wave of loneliness and desolation began to wash over him, and Chi Yuan stood by the riverbank, head drooping, filled with sorrow.

It's only been a short time since I had it, and now I'm about to lose it again.

He was squatting by the river, looking lost and dejected, when suddenly a huge splash of water drenched him.

Chi Yuan: The sky has fallen.

"Hello, I'd like to meet the river god of this river. Let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Shen Yulou, my hobby is weaving waterweed clothes, and the person I like is named Chi Yuan,"

"I have a child named Chi Yu'an, whose nicknames are Xiao Bao, Zai Zai, Ben Dan Zai, Ke Ai Bao..."

Shen Yulou rambled on and on, but Chi Yuan didn't hear a thing, because he was surrounded by water and it was difficult for him to even open his eyes.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

After talking for a long time, Shen Yulou finally finished introducing himself and looked down. Only then did he notice Chi Yuan's predicament and quickly stepped forward to wipe his eyes with his sleeve.

"You...you are..."

Chi Yuan opened his eyes and stared blankly at the green water plant spirit floating on the water's surface, completely dumbfounded.

What had I encountered? A river god?

"My name is Shen Yulou!"

Shen Meiren put her hands on her hips and spent another ten minutes repeating her self-introduction.

"What do you need me for?"

Chi Yuan cautiously took two steps back.

"Your sadness after losing your treasure has awakened me. As a helpful river god, I have decided to help you find your treasure."

"Excuse me, is this the golden treasure you lost?"

Shen Yulou flirted seductively.

"Or is it this big silver treasure?"

Shen Yulou leaned forward and twisted her waist, eagerly kissing Chi Yuan on the lips.

"Is it still this adorable baby?"

Shen Yulou gently flicked the cute little boy's bottom and thrust his hips towards the boy.

"So? Which treasure did you lose?"

Shen Yulou blinked wildly, as if his eyes were electrifying.

Chi Yuan was completely stunned by Shen Yulou's kiss, and quickly covered his chest with both hands and backed away.

"I...I..."

"I lost that one! The pink one."

Chi Yuan didn't even think about it.

"Really? You really lost this one? Wasn't it the gold one? Or the pink one?"
