After saying that, he led Rong Jiaojiao to continue chasing the deer herd, at an even faster speed than before.
He used his divine sense to pinpoint the location of the deer herd and discovered that they were running towards an open valley.
Qing Xuanzi sped up and caught up with the deer herd in just a few minutes.
They walked through the forests and finally caught up with the deer herd.
Qing Xuanzi used several streams of spiritual energy to instantly entangle the sika deer.
Rong Jiaojiao reached out her hand towards the deer herd, her little hand grabbing at them, while she called out, "Sheep, Youyou."
Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "So you still remember the sheep you hunted and the mutton you ate a while ago? But this isn't a sheep, it's a deer, and the meat is even tastier."
He took the stick, knocked the person he was about to take away unconscious, and then hid it in his sleeve.
Qing Xuanzi clearly possesses the ability to launch mental attacks, yet he enjoys banging people and animals on the head, always going to the unnecessary trouble of binding his prey before knocking them unconscious with a stick.
He didn't capture them all; he left three larger sika deer, one male and two females, as well as seven or eight fawns.
"Sheep, Youyou!" Rong Jiaojiao clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes full of joy.
Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "Alright, sheep it is. I'll make you some meat when we get back."
After saying that, ignoring the other deer that fled in panic, he led Rong Jiaojiao and continued towards the town.
They walked through forest after forest and finally arrived in town before dark.
When he got home, it was already dark, but Qing Xuanzi had good eyesight and could see that the couplets on the door had been replaced.
Upon entering, the courtyard was spotless, clearly indicating that it was regularly cleaned by someone.
Entering the main room, it was ice-cold. Qing Xuanzi said to Rong Jiaojiao, "It seems your parents didn't come to light the fire today."
Rong Jiaojiao responded to him with a series of "Daddy, Mommy..."
I turned on the light and found that the room was exactly the same as when I left, neat and tidy, as if nothing had happened.
He first heated the kang (a heated brick bed) and then stoked the fire in the stove, and the room quickly became warm.
Qing Xuanzi put Rong Jiaojiao on the ground and let her walk around the room slowly.
The little guy can already walk around holding onto things, although he's not very steady yet, but he can already explore his surroundings on his own.
Qing Xuanzi took out the pot for cooking porridge, intending to have a simple dinner tonight.
"Father, Zhouzhou, Youyou!" Rong Jiaojiao exclaimed excitedly as soon as she saw Qing Xuanzi take out the pot, patting the table with her little hands and her eyes full of anticipation.
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "Alright, let's have porridge today."
He took out some rice from his sleeve, poured it into a pot, added water, and started cooking porridge.
The porridge simmered slowly on the stove, filling the room with a warm atmosphere.
Qing Xuanzi sat by the stove, watching Rong Jiaojiao explore the room.
The porridge was ready. Qing Xuanzi served Rong Jiaojiao a bowl of porridge and used magic to cool it down to a suitable temperature.
Then he took out some dried meat, heated it slightly with magic, chopped it into small pieces with magic, and sprinkled it into the bowl.
Then he stirred it with a spoon and fed it to Rong Jiaojiao spoonful by spoonful.
The little guy tasted the meat and his face lit up with joy, his eyes crinkling with laughter.
After Rong Jiaojiao finished eating, Qing Xuanzi also started eating.
After a long day of running around, I was exhausted and didn't want to do anything after eating. I just went straight to sleep.
In the family compound, Rong Zhigao called out several times, but Rong Zhiyuan didn't go to sleep and kept fiddling with things.
Rong Zhigao asked with a stern face, "Why don't you go to sleep?"
Rong Zhiyuan said happily, "Brother, I can't sleep. I want to prepare some fun things for my sister. I'll go to town first thing tomorrow morning."
Rong Zhigao said, "Dad said my sister would come back for the New Year, but he didn't say she would arrive tomorrow morning."
They went to town during the day to see if Uncle Qingxuan had brought his sister back ahead of time, but the small courtyard in town was still locked up tight.
Rong Zhiyuan: "Then I'll wait there too, since tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve anyway."
"Alright, go to sleep. Stop tossing and turning. You already prepared all that stuff, why are you still doing this?"
"Brother, you go to sleep first. I'll check if anything is missing."
Rong Zhigao advised, "If you don't sleep now, how will you have the energy to play with your sister tomorrow? Don't you want to spend more time with her when she comes back?"
These words were devastating. Rong Zhiyuan immediately climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), but still excitedly asked, "Brother, what do you think my sister looks like now? I bet she's even prettier and cuter."
Rong Zhigao smiled as he thought of his adorable younger sister four months ago: "Of course. She was so ugly when she was born, but she grew up to be so beautiful. She must be even more beautiful now."
I miss my sister!
"I've thought about it too. Let's go to sleep now, we'll see each other tomorrow."
"good."
"elder brother……
"sleep……
"elder brother……
"you say……
The two brothers couldn't sleep, whispering to each other. Fu Ya and Rong Lianhu were also unable to sleep, folding the new clothes they made for their daughter again and again, imagining what their daughter would look like now, and discussing what to use for the first birthday celebration tomorrow.
"Lianhu, tell me, is anything missing from the baby's first birthday celebration?"
Rong Lianhu sighed helplessly: "Wife, how many times have you asked this? The first birthday celebration is just a formality, don't take it too seriously."
He looked at the neatly folded new clothes in Fu Ya's hands, his eyes full of anticipation. Their little Jiaojiao must be getting cuter and cuter. He just didn't know if she would still recognize him as her father.
Fu Ya sighed, "I know, but this is our daughter's first birthday celebration, and I just want to prepare everything so she can have a happy time."
Rong Lianhu nodded: "I also want to give her the best. But think about it, we didn't hold a first birthday celebration for Zhigao and Zhiyuan, so don't make the difference too obvious."
Fu Ya paused for a moment and said, "They all had their first birthday celebrations, but I was the only one who did it for them."
"I remember Zhigao was carrying a small wooden gun, and Zhiyuan was carrying a small abacus made of gold."
Rong Lianhu said guiltily, "I'm sorry, wife..."
Fu Ya shook her head: "You haven't wronged anyone. You've done everything to protect the country and the people, including us."
Rong Lianhu pulled his wife into his arms, and Fu Ya leaned on his shoulder, saying, "Do you still remember where Zhiyuan got that golden abacus?"
"I remember you said it was a gift from your father-in-law, who said you were a math genius and would definitely be a successful businessman in the future."
As the two reminisced, they got onto the kang (heated brick bed)...
The next morning, Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya got up early to prepare to take their son to welcome their daughter's return.
After hanging the things she needed to take on the handlebars, Fu Ya checked them carefully again to make sure nothing was missing before saying with relief, "Lian Hu, we'll head to town first. Try to go as early as possible tonight."
Rong Lianhu still has to be on duty today, and he will have New Year's Eve dinner with the soldiers in the canteen tonight, so he can only leave after the canteen starts serving meals.
Rong Lianhu nodded: "I will. Since it's still early, I'll take you three to town first, then ride my bicycle to the army base. That way, it will be convenient for me to go to town tonight."
