Yuan Zhizhi slept very well that night. Huo Yan lay beside her, half lying down, worried that she would be hungry in the middle of the night and kept in a light sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, he had already warmed up the milk.
Seeing her stretching and yawning, he strode over and helped her put on her clothes one by one.
The movements of his hands became increasingly flustered.
Huo Yan didn't understand. He had seen Yuan Zhao helping Zhizhi get dressed several times before. How come she could dress quickly and well, but she wouldn't listen to him?
Yuan Zhizhi also bared her teeth, sometimes saying, "Daddy... you're rolling up your sleeves... you're not wearing plain clothes...", and sometimes saying, "Daddy... your pants are so tight..."
[Dad… red clothes with green pants… ugly!]
After finally getting dressed, the warm milk on the stove began to bubble up again.
Huo Yan hurriedly poured out the milk.
Sometimes it feels too hot and sometimes it feels a little cool.
It took several attempts before Zhizhi on the bed was able to drink milk.
Huo Yan held the bottle and let Yuan Zhizhi suck it. He relaxed a little after seeing her finish the bottle.
He was sweating profusely and truly felt that taking care of a child was no easier than marching and fighting a war.
Yuan Zhizhi stared at him with her big eyes, and after drinking milk, she stretched out her hands for a hug.
Huo Yan picked her up, and the little girl hugged his neck and kissed him.
【Thank you, Daddy~】
The man's heart melted instantly, and the corners of his mouth remained raised until he went downstairs.
Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Xuan had already had breakfast downstairs. After a simple meal, they prepared to set off.
There were two more large bags on Huo Yan's horse compared to yesterday.
Yuan Nanan took a closer look and found that most of the things inside were things that Yuan Zhizhi needed.
Huo Yan tied Yuan Zhizhi to his back and adjusted her position to make her as comfortable as possible.
Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now, so it won’t be too cold to ride a horse.
After making all the necessary preparations and checking Yuan Xuan and Yuan Nan'an's horses, Huo Yan mounted his horse and continued his journey with them.
Along the way, they stopped and walked, sometimes staying in inns and sometimes sleeping in the wild.
Within a few days, Huo Yan had become adept at taking care of Yuan Zhizhi.
Sometimes Zhizhi doesn't need to tell him when she needs to drink milk, go to the toilet, whether she is hot or cold, thirsty or hungry.
I can also spare some time to take care of the two older children.
Yuan Xuan and Yuan Nan'an's initial excitement had gradually faded, and fatigue from the journey was slowly setting in.
In addition, they had been gone for so long, but there was still no news of Yuan Qi Yu.
Huo Yan received messages from various sources every day, including those from the pigeons he had sent out to look for Yuan Zhao and Yuan Qi Yu, as well as news from Yuan Cheng.
But the mother and son seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no trace of them to be found anywhere.
Huo Yan couldn't help feeling anxious.
In the evening, he lit a bonfire, and Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Xuan went to the nearby river to fetch water to wash their faces.
He sat by the fire and read the letter. Yuan Zhizhi tilted her head back in his arms and read it, as if she could understand it.
After looking for a long time without understanding, she crawled out of Huo Yan's arms and slowly crawled back and forth holding the wood he was sitting on.
Huo Yan did not stop her, knowing that she should be loosened after being tied up for a whole day, so he just paid attention to keep an eye on her.
Yuan Zhizhi lay on the crossbar, waving her little hands.
After a while, a butterfly flew over and landed on her chubby little hand. She cried out in her heart:
[Little Lucky Butterfly, cute little Lucky Butterfly, can you help me find my brother Sa? ]
The little butterfly flapped its wings a few times, flew from her hand to her white and tender little nose, and then flew away.
After a while, a little sparrow landed at her feet, and she also muttered to herself:
[Little Sparrow, cute little Sparrow! Qiuqiuni helps Zhizhi find Brother Sa and Xiaobai...]
Little sparrow: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
Zhizhi tilted his head, a puzzled expression on his face, and then suddenly realized something.
[Xiaobai...Xiaobai is the Little White Tiger...Hmm...or maybe the Big Brain Tiger...]
Another little sparrow flew down from the tree and landed at her feet, chirping along with the previous sparrow.
Zhizhi felt tired after lying down for a long time, so he sat down on the ground with his butt leaning against a piece of wood.
[Oh... it's a tiger that can be big or small! And my brother Sa, he's taller and bigger than Zhizhi... and looks a bit like Zhizhi.]
Little Sparrow: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
[Little Bird! We're all done! We're so cute! Hey little balls! Please help!]
…
Huo Yan's attention was always divided half on Yuan Zhizhi. He thought Zhizhi was just playing around, talking to herself and the bird in her heart.
I also think the little girl is very cute.
But as he watched Yuan Zhizhi and the little sparrows talking to each other more and more excitedly, and even the little one put his hands together and started to bow to the little sparrows, his surprise grew stronger and stronger.
Then I thought about how Zhizhi was special, and Yuan Zhao had once said that she was a fairy sent by God.
Huo Yan watched her finish talking to the little sparrow. After the little sparrow flew away with a "chirp chirp" sound, he picked her up from his feet.
Yuan Zhizhi was held by him and stood on his lap, smiling, her little hand stroking the stubble of Huo Yansheng's beard.
[Daddy, don't worry. Zhizhi will leave it to the little lucky butterfly and the little birds!]
Huo Yan helped her pat the dust off her pants, with a smile on his face, touched noses with her, and praised her.
"Our little Zhizhi is the best!"
After thinking about it, he didn't know if Yuan Zhizhi could really understand, so he couldn't help but remind her,
"Good boy Zhizhi, don't talk to animals in front of others from now on. If you have to talk, please do it quietly, okay?"
