Chapter 79: I couldn’t sleep because I didn’t get to hold the baby
The annual Night Hunting Conference was about to take place, and the system had already reminded Xie Zao Zao: "Host, this Night Hunt is a very important event. You and Young Master Lin will meet again, and this meeting will require tears."
Xie Zao Zao nodded: "I will beat him hard." He won't stop until he cries.
System: "...You are crying."
Xie Zaozao: "Why are you so shameless?"
The system was already accustomed to Xie Zaozao's dissatisfaction and directly changed the subject: "During this night hunt, the Yun family will suddenly turn against us, causing chaos at the venue. Young Master Lin was almost injured. In order to save him, you rolled down the mountain and nearly died, but Young Master Lin thought it was Song Qiaoyue who saved him."
Song Qiaoyue threatened Master Lin with the favor of saving his life, and Master Lin made a marriage contract with her.
Xie Zaozao: "I really have a brain problem."
System: "Uh... did you find it?"
Xie Zaozao: “…”
The system quickly ended this awkward topic: "Anyway, don't worry, they're only engaged, they won't get married, and there won't be any physical contact."
"Oh." Not really caring.
Anyway, he is destined to be beaten by me, so there seems no need to worry about whether he has a nightlife or not.
Xie Zao Zao carried his own child and just wanted to go to bed early: "My Da Dao is sleepy."
Little Xingsu rarely agreed with her mother and started crying.
Xie Zao Zao frowned, picked up the chubby little boy, and pinched his nose: "Didn't you just eat? Why are you hungry again?"
To show that he wasn't hungry, the little boy waved his fist and said dissatisfiedly, "Humph!"
Xie Zaozao felt that the way he hummed with his lips curled up looked very much like someone else.
Who does he look like? I can't recall, but he looks familiar.
She said to her son, "Let's play high-flying toss."
After saying that, he threw him as high as the beam, and then caught him steadily. In the past, little Xingsu would have laughed happily when playing such a game, but this time he had a stern face and looked very unhappy.
After throwing it back and forth a few times, Xie Zao Zao felt bored: "Da Dao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Xingsu pouted and started crying.
Xie Zaozao: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
He took Xiao Xingsu's pulse and didn't feel anything wrong, but to be on the safe side, he took out a Bailing Pill from the space and stuffed it into Xiao Xingsu's mouth.
This panacea is good in every way. It can cure all diseases and strengthen the body. But there is one bad thing about it: it tastes extremely bitter, so bitter that it makes the root of the tongue ache.
In the past, if the fellow disciples in the sect fell ill, they had to pretend to be fine, for fear that Qingyue Jun would force a Bailing Pill into their mouths.
So no matter it was windy, rainy, sunny, lightning, thunder or landslide, no one was absent from work.
Later, Xie Zaozao seriously suspected that this was done intentionally by his master.
Now the Bailing Pill was stuffed into Xiao Xingsu's mouth. Xiao Xingsu was still squeaking, but after taking the pill, he was instantly petrified.
After a moment, he burst into tears.
Xie Zaozao: "...Why is he so good at crying?"
The system didn't want to answer Xie Zaozao, because little Xingsu was already the most easily raised child he had ever seen in the world. He swore that if the weird one between Xie Zaozao and Fu Yanzhi used his adult brain to shrink into that of a child.
He is definitely not as easy to take care of as Xiao Xingsu.
Little Xingsu cried for most of the night. Xie Zaozao tried exorcism, throwing and catching, hiding, and other methods that always worked in the past, but none of them worked at all this time.
About a quarter of an hour later, Shuyue knocked on the door: "Miss Xie, why is the child crying so hard? Is there something wrong?"
Xie Zaozao was also a little confused while holding the child: "I don't know."
I've tried everything I can think of, what's going on?
Shuyue held the child and looked at him. Little Xingsu was still crying very hard, with tear marks on his fair and tender face, and his big eyes were full of grievance.
Shuyue said, "How about showing it to the master?"
Xie Zaozao was also worried that something might be wrong with the child, so she nodded.
After they left, Xie Zao Zao asked, "How did you know the child was crying the whole time? Is the room not soundproofed?"
Shuyue nodded: "The master heard it first and said that the child's crying made him feel irritated, so he asked me to come and take a look."
Xie Zao Zao thought to herself, I originally thought he was a good man, but ever since the water lily rotted, this Fu Yanzhi has become even less likable. Can he get so upset just because a child is crying?
How much do you dislike children?
*
In terms of concentration, none of the mystical masters combined are as good as Fu Yanzhi. When he was very young, he was attacked by a demon as big as a house. Although he was covered in wounds, he remained calm.
After that, no matter what situation he faced, he remained calm.
However, tonight, he was interrupted by the crying of a little child.
Originally, he was predicting the situation of this night hunt and circled the part on the map where problems were most likely to occur. The location of this night hunt was called Fengyue Valley, which was once the family residence of a family of mystic masters.
But three years ago, no one knew what happened here. The whole city was slaughtered by demons overnight, and only a few mystics masters survived.
Later, this place was sealed by several heads of the family and became a forbidden area.
Recently, several younger generations who once lived in Fengyue Valley have grown up and want to return to Fengyue Valley to rebuild their own families. This night hunt is to eliminate the hidden crisis in Fengyue Valley.
Everything was going well, but then a child's cry drifted in from outside the window. The child's cry sounded very aggrieved and impatient, and Fu Yanzhi's heart ached when he heard it.
Doesn't Xie Zaozao know how to comfort a child? The child has been crying for so long, won't he get hurt?
A wave of dissatisfaction and anxiety surged in his heart.
He quickly suppressed it.
But I still can't help but look for the crying of a child.
In the end, he accepted his fate and asked Shuyue to bring Xie Zaozao and the child.
Xie Zao Zao arrived very quickly, holding a crying child in her arms. His fair and tender face was covered with tears. He hummed aggrievedly, and his tears fell on the tender little hands.
Fu Yanzhi thought that this child looked very pretty when he cried.
Little Xingsu felt very aggrieved that her mother wanted to return her name. She cried for a long time but her mother didn't understand what she meant. She turned around and saw Fu Yanzhi. She felt very aggrieved and wanted to talk to her.
He babbled and stretched out his arms for Fu Yanzhi to hold him, but Fu Yanzhi stood one meter away from Xie Zaozao and did not move forward.
Little Xingsu: “Woo woo woo ┭┮﹏┭┮.” Hug...
Fu Yanzhi asked, "Did he just eat enough?"
Xie Zao Zao said, "Yes."
Fu Yanzhi asked: "When is it convenient for him?"
Xie Zaozao: "Normally not right after eating."
Fu Yanzhi was about to reach out his hand, but Xie Zaozao added, "But it's hard to say."
The hand retracted again.
System: "Oh my god, you actually despise our child! We won't even let you hold our child. Humph, you're not the biological father, so why should you despise him?!"
Fu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, but seeing the little guy crying so pitifully, he reached out to hold him: "Let me see."
Xiao Xingsu seemed to understand what Fu Yanzhi meant, and the emotion she wanted to express suddenly disappeared, and she started crying again.
Shuyue was very worried: "What's wrong with Xingxu? She has never cried like this before. Maybe she is sick."
Fu Yanzhi struggled for a long time to decide between the shit-yellow shadow of the world he had seen and what to do if the child cried. Finally, he stretched out his hand: "Let me see."
What answered him was Xiao Xingsu's tender white feet.
He angrily kicked Fu Yanzhi's hand with his bare feet, then hugged Xie Zaozao's neck and said in a long, baby voice: "Hmph——"
He stopped crying and stopped letting the man hug him, huh.
Fu Yanzhi originally wanted to pick up little Xingsu and check if he was feeling unwell, but the little guy hugged his mother's neck tightly and refused to get down, and even attacked his feet.
Fu Yanzhi: "..." This kid clearly wanted him to hold him just now.
Fu Yanzhi, who didn't get to hold little Xingsu, sat by the window at night and continued to organize the map of Fengyue Valley. After he had almost finished it, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
In the past, he would fall asleep without distraction after finishing his work.
Today, he couldn't sleep at all because he didn't get to hold a little fat baby?
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Xie Zaozao's room. The oil lamp in the room was still on, and the voice of Xie Zaozao coaxing the child could be faintly heard.
"Hanging upside down with a golden hook—doing somersaults—flying into the sky with a hot wheel—ah! This house is so flimsy."
Then there was the sound of nails hammering.
Fu Yanzhi: ...Ancient records say that in those frigid lands covered in ice and snow, there were dogs that were extremely cold-resistant, good at pulling sleds, and loved to destroy things...
It really suits the woman in front of me.
