Aze got up early in the morning and went out to work as usual.
Today he planned to go pick some herbs, but there were only a few left at home, and the man on the bed was still unconscious.
If we don’t replenish the medicinal materials, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold on for much longer.
Inside the house, Zhizhi was still deep in sleep, her cheek buried in the quilt, sleeping soundly.
Aze quietly carried the bamboo basket on his back and prepared to leave quietly, not wanting to wake her up.
However, the moment he pushed open the gate, his steps suddenly stopped——
A young girl was standing outside the door, about to raise her hand to knock.
Aze's eyes darkened instantly, his body tensed unconsciously, he stared at the person in front of him warily, his hands subconsciously clenched the shoulder straps of the backpack, and he felt as if he was facing a great enemy.
Yuan Nan'an followed Xiaobai all the way to investigate the situation and wanted to knock on the gate to find out.
However, she never expected that the courtyard door would suddenly open, and the boy's cold and vigilant eyes fell on her unexpectedly.
She keenly sensed the other party's defensive intentions, quickly retracted her hand from knocking on the door, raised her chin slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen a little girl who has just learned to walk?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaobai at her feet wagged its tail and circled around her legs.
Xiaobai said Zhizhi is here, so that must be correct.
Aze looked down at the white tiger, which was the same white tiger that came and left that night.
He frowned slightly, and the vigilance in his eyes decreased a little, but he still did not relax his alertness. He nodded slowly and looked at the girl in front of him silently.
Seeing this, Yuan Nan'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xiaobai had not taken him to the wrong place.
She took a step forward, smiled, and spoke in a more sincere tone.
"I'm her sister, I'm here to take her home."
The boy said nothing and looked behind her.
Yuan Zhao also came over with Yuan Qi Yu. She asked Mo Yu and the others to check whether there was any danger around.
Aze stared at Yuan Zhao's face, which was exactly the same as Yuan Zhizhi's, believed what they said, and just made a gesture.
: Zhizhi hasn’t woken up yet.
Halfway through the gesture, he thought of something, put down his hand, and simply moved sideways to open the door.
Yuan Nanan understood it. She tilted her head slightly, with a smile on her lips, and also made a gesture.
: Can you take us in? Excuse me.
Yuan Zhao looked at Yuan Nan'an's actions and realized that the boy in front of him could not speak.
She didn't say anything, just let Yuan Nanan communicate with the boy.
Sure enough, after seeing Yuan Nanan's skillful gestures, Aze's bright eyes lit up.
He brought Yuan Nanan and others into the yard and knocked on the door of the main house.
Yuan Zhizhi's soft humming sound came from inside, obviously she was still asleep.
Yuan Nan'an made another gesture: Can I come in?
Aze nodded.
Yuan Nan'an turned and looked at Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao nodded slightly and said to her, "Take Xiaoyu and play in the yard for a while. I'll go in and take a look."
Inside the house, Yuan Zhizhi was still curled up in the quilt in a daze, her soft little body still immersed in dreams.
She felt something moving in her arms, and vaguely smelled a familiar scent. She frowned slightly, waved her little hand, and murmured,
"Xiaobai...don't..."
At this moment, a familiar chuckle came to my ears.
Yuan Zhizhi was stunned in her dream, her nose twitching slightly, and in a trance, she felt like she was back home.
She struggled to open her hazy eyes, and what came into view was an extremely familiar smile.
"Mom..." She smacked her lips, blinked her big eyes, and her voice was soft and sticky, as if she was still in a dream.
Yuan Zhao reached out and gently stroked her messy hair, his eyes full of heartache and tenderness.
"Zhizhi, mother is here."
Yuan Zhizhi opened her eyes wide and was stunned for half a second. The next moment, her face wrinkled and she threw herself into Yuan Zhao's arms, speaking coquettishly with a heavy nasal voice.
“Mother…Mother…”
Yuan Zhao chuckled and hugged her tightly, soothing her gently: "Mother is here..."
…
In the yard, Yuan Qiyu's eyes were always glued to the trellis full of grapes, without blinking, and there was even a hint of saliva at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing his greedy look, Aze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, walked up to him, picked a bunch of grapes and handed it to him.
Yuan Qiyu took it with surprise, smiled sweetly, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, little brother!"
Aze just smiled shyly and raised his hand to make a "it's okay" gesture.
Seeing this, Yuan Nan'an took the opportunity to introduce himself.
"I'm Yuan Nan'an, and this is my younger brother Yuan Qiyu."
Upon hearing this, Aze nodded, lowered his head and gestured a few times on his palm, simply writing his name, indicating that his name was "Aze".
He seemed to be shy by nature and didn't dare to look Yuan Nanan in the eye. He always felt that this young lady's demeanor was different from anyone he had met before.
In order to hide his embarrassment, he silently walked back to where he was chopping wood, picked up the axe and continued to work.
Seeing him like this, Yuan Nan'an felt it was inappropriate to just stand there and do nothing, so he walked forward.
She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a slender but strong forearm, and took the initiative to say, "Let me help you."
Aze was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently and gestured: This axe is very heavy, I'm afraid you can't lift it.
Although Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Qiyu were dressed simply, Aze was not stupid.
The family still exudes extraordinary temperament in their every move.
On weekdays, he would occasionally go to the city to sell some game, and met many young ladies from wealthy families.
Those people are all uninitiated and have probably never even touched an axe before. How could they possibly chop wood?
