"Why are you asking about this suddenly?" Yuan Zhao did not answer immediately. When it came to Zhizhi's affairs, she was cautious even when facing Huo Yan.
However, Huo Yan is someone who can hear Zhizhi's thoughts.
Huo Yan understood her concerns and whispered in her ear, "On the way to Beiqiang, I discovered that Zhizhi can communicate with other animals."
"That night in Xiaoyue City, it was because Zhizhi communicated with the surrounding animals that we were able to avoid all the traps."
After he said this, Yuan Zhao also recalled what happened that night.
She carefully recalled the time in Yangzhou, and Zhizhi seemed not to have shown this ability at that time.
She has always been confused and a little uneasy about Zhizhi's inner thoughts.
So she told Huo Yan what happened on that snowy night.
"It was after I rescued Zhizhi that night that I discovered I could hear her inner voice, but at that time she was just a full-term baby..."
"Later, everything Zhizhi said kept coming true, and I realized she seemed to have special abilities."
"She also had a very special little bracelet. It was the contents of that bracelet that cured Sheng'er's leg and Nannan's throat."
"But... this ability is truly too outstanding, so I told Sheng'er and the others not to mention it or discuss it, for fear of being targeted by someone with ulterior motives."
"Xiaobai appeared that night. It could understand human language and had the ability to change at will... It has been with Zhizhi ever since."
After hearing this, Huo Yan thought of the wild boars whose necks were bitten off by wild beasts that night when he went to rescue Yuan Qiyu.
It seems that it was Xiaobai who did it.
At this point, Yuan Zhao couldn't help but hold Huo Yan's hand, his eyes filled with deep worry.
"Although Zhizhi's ability is a good thing for us, I'm just worried that if something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect her."
At present, Zhizhi's ability seems to have improved further, but facing such unknown things, there will be hidden dangers before she fully grows up.
Huo Yan understood Yuan Zhao's concerns. After a moment's thought, he said, "It's not a good idea for us to keep avoiding it. If something goes wrong one day, we won't even know what happened."
He has never been one to sit and wait for death, and he needs to be fully prepared for anything.
Yuan Zhao sighed softly, "I did find out some things."
Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to speak.
"When I was researching witchcraft in Nanyue earlier, I found records of it in several books..." Yuan Zhao said slowly, "It's said that to the west of Nanyue, there's a gate called Yingtian Gate. Some say that after you pass Yingtian Gate, you're no longer in the mortal world."
“Some people have gone to Yingtian Gate, but never returned.”
If she had seen these things in the past, she would have just treated them as strange stories, but since she had Zhizhi, she paid special attention to such things.
"Zhizhi once mentioned an old man in her inner voice. It sounded like that old man helped her, so I wondered if this old man was an immortal."
"But this matter is of great importance. I dare not send anyone to inquire about it in a big way..."
After hearing this, Huo Yan frowned slightly.
If it were a mortal matter, they would still have a way to solve it, but Zhizhi's ability has already exceeded the scope of mortals.
As the saying goes, "There is always someone better than you", they should be prepared in advance.
So he thought for a moment and said to her, "I'll send someone to the South Vietnam border to secretly investigate under the guise of investigating witchcraft and see if there's any new information."
…
Yuan Qiyu was severely "educated" by Yuan Nan'an and taken back to the general's mansion, his nose still red.
The little boy sat at the table, holding a pen with a look of grievance on his face, and wrote his "letter of self-criticism" with tears in his eyes.
There were already several sheets of paper on the table, but he continued to write carefully, reading quietly as he wrote:
"Yuan Qiyu... shouldn't have run away from home without permission... shouldn't have hidden his whereabouts... shouldn't have failed to write home..."
His voice was full of pity, as if he was afraid that missing anything would make Yuan Nanan even angrier.
Yuan Nan'an stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, his brows slightly raised, his eyes fixed on him, trying not to let him slack off at any time.
“Write well!”
Yuan Qiyu held the pen tightly in his hand. After writing a line, he glanced at Yuan Nanan secretly. Seeing her sharp eyes, he could only lower his head and continue writing.
He muttered quietly, "I...know I'm wrong...really...do I have to write it a hundred times?"
Yuan Nan'an snorted coldly: "Try to mutter it again? If you mutter it again, I'll mutter it a hundred times!"
Yuan Qi Yu shrank his neck and hurriedly continued to write at his desk, fearing that he would be scolded if he wrote too slowly.
The papers on the table piled higher and higher, and his little face looked more and more aggrieved as he wrote, but he still didn't dare to stop.
Yuan Heng went to the military camp, Yuan Musheng was still accompanying Helian Yu, and Yuan Xuan sat aside and couldn't help but shudder as he watched the scene in front of him.
So Nan Nan is so powerful when he gets angry?
He couldn't help but look at Yuan Nan'an several times. Yuan Nan'an raised his head and the two of them looked at each other suddenly. Yuan Xuan quickly looked away.
Yuan Nan'an frowned slightly and was about to say something when he heard a noise outside.
Huo Yan and Yuan Zhao are back.
When Yuan Qi Yu looked up and saw the two of them, his originally depressed mood instantly became high, and his eyes lit up like stars.
He suddenly put down the pen in his hand and almost rushed into his parents' arms, but suddenly stopped halfway and secretly glanced at Yuan Nanan who was standing next to him.
It is obvious that he has not forgotten the impact of being "educated" just now.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhao softly broke the deadlock, opened his arms, and called out one by one: "Nannan, Xiaoyu, Axuan!"
Yuan Nan'an hadn't seen his mother for a long time. His nose suddenly felt sore and he rushed over.
She buried her head in Yuan Zhao's arms, her voice slightly nasal, "Mother..."
Seeing this scene, Yuan Qiyu couldn't bear it anymore. He threw away his worries and rushed directly towards Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao squatted down, held the two children tightly in his arms, one on each side, and patted their backs gently.
In an instant, Yuan Zhao's chest was wet.
Yuan Nan'an still cried silently as usual, tears sliding down one by one.
Yuan Qiyu was sobbing, her little shoulders shaking, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.
Yuan Zhao lowered his head slightly, and soothed them in a gentle voice, "It's okay, it's okay, mother is here."
Yuan Qiyu raised his head with sobs and turned to Huo Yan beside him with red eyes.
He slowly opened his arms, and his small figure threw himself into Huo Yan's arms, calling out softly, "Daddy~"
Huo Yan had a smile on his face as he hugged him, gently touched his head, and pinched his chubby little face.
He looked at the rice paper that had fallen to the ground and asked in a serious tone, "Do you know you're wrong?"
Yuan Qiyu nodded heavily, rubbed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice,
"Xiaoyu knows she was wrong, and she won't dare to do it again, never again..."
