The edge of the original jungle.
Abandoned forest farm.
A white light suddenly flashed, and the figures of Lin Qiye and his four companions appeared out of thin air in front of the forest farm.
Cao Yuan looked around and breathed a sigh of relief, "We finally got out from underground, and the Heavenly Master even sent us directly to the edge of the forest..."
Baili Pangpang lowered his head and pinched the white flesh on his belly, with a sad face, and turned to look at Lin Qiye:
"Qiye, you said... Tianzun would not really give me a child?!"
Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly, "Probably not, this falls within the scope of Guanyin's business."
"…But why has my belly become so big?!" Baili Pangpang asked anxiously.
Cao Yuan rolled his eyes, "Your belly is already this big, don't you know it?"
Baili Pangpang shook his round belly, as if he had thought of something, turned his head to look at Lin Qiye, and said righteously:
"Qiye, if you hadn't led the team into Fengdu, I wouldn't have this child. Anyway...if this child is really born, you have to be responsible for him!"
Lin Qiye: ...
An Qingyu, who was standing by, hesitated for a moment and said, "If that day comes, I can help you perform a caesarean section."
Lin Qiye suppressed the urge to draw his sword and chop the two guys directly, took a deep breath, and said, "Anyway, let's get out of here first."
Cao Yuan walked to Lin Qiye's side, pointed at Jia Lan beside him, and asked in a low voice: "What about her?"
Lin Qiye turned his head and saw Jia Lan standing behind him, looking at him quietly. When he saw Lin Qiye looking at him, his autumn-water eyes blinked, wondering what he was thinking.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "This is a special product discovered during the mission. I'll go back and write a report, then pack it up and hand it over to the country."
Galan: ...
Cao Yuan was stunned. "Isn't she a person? How can this be considered as..."
Before he could finish, Baili Pangpang patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion, "Lao Cao, I didn't expect that even you are smarter than Qiye... It seems that I still overestimated him."
The four of them walked out of the primeval forest while talking. The current situation was not as urgent as when they entered the forest, so they slowed down and began to appreciate the natural scenery.
By the time the five people walked out of the primeval forest, it was already dusk.
They stood at the door of the Forest Ranger Bureau and stopped at the same time.
"Qiye..." Baili Pangpang said hesitantly, "Do we really want to do this?"
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment and nodded.
He stretched out his hands and slowly pushed open the door of the Forest Ranger Bureau...
…
The sky gradually darkened, and the dim setting sun shone on the short and dilapidated building. The cold wind whistled across the barren land, making the windows rattle.
Frost covered the window eaves, appearing slightly pale in the dusk. Behind this window was an even paler young face.
The little girl wrapped in a coat stood in front of the window, her body trembling slightly from the cold wind leaking through the window gap. The light from the fireplace behind her was reflected on the glass, but she just stared at the closed door stubbornly.
"Tingting..." The old man slowly stood up from the stove, his cloudy eyes full of heartache. He walked behind the little girl, took her hand and said,
"Can we move away from the window? It's very windy outside."
The little girl stared at the door and shook her head without saying a word.
"Tingting, sit next to the stove and you can see that this place is too far away from the stove. You just came back from the woods and got cold. Your body can't take it!" The old man grabbed the little girl's hand and was about to pull her into the house.
The little girl shook off the old man's hand, stood in front of the window, and said stubbornly: "I don't want to go in! If I go in, I won't be able to see my dad!"
The old man stood behind her blankly, at a loss for what to do. Chen Han walked to the little girl, squatted down, and spoke gently:
"Tingting, be good. Your father will be fine. He will be back soon..."
"You're lying! You're all lying!" The little girl turned around abruptly, her eyes red. She pursed her lips tightly and shouted with all her strength: "Didn't you say that if we go first, Dad will catch up soon?!
Why? Why has Dad not come back after a whole day?!
We clearly agreed... why don't you keep your word..."
Her voice became more and more choked up, her voice became smaller and smaller, and her lips began to tremble. Even though she tried hard to control herself from crying, tears still continued to flow from her eyes.
In the end, she completely gave up controlling herself. The little girl, who was in her early teens, burst into tears as if she had lost everything.
The old man's hands trembled slightly as he held the little girl in his arms, and two tear marks also slid down his old face.
His son told him that if he didn't come back after three days, he should call the police...
Now, it's the fourth day.
"Tingting, be good, don't cry, don't cry..." The old man wiped his tears and spoke tremblingly.
"But there are monsters in the forest! What if Daddy gets caught by them? I don't want Daddy to die!" The little girl burst into tears.
Seeing the two of them hugging and crying, Chen Han pursed his lips slightly, he looked down at the time, and his hand holding the watch became tighter and tighter...
Boom——!
At this moment, the old door was suddenly pushed open.
The cold wind rushed into the house through the door frame, instantly dissipating the warmth of the fireplace and blowing the furnishings in the house all over the place. The tearful little girl raised her head and looked towards the door, and suddenly froze in place.
There were five people standing outside the door.
Three of them were brothers she had seen in the woods before, and one was a beautiful sister she didn’t know…
In front of them, outside the threshold where the howling wind was pouring in, stood a tall and majestic figure.
He was a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard. The lines on his face were firm and even. His slightly messy hair was blowing in the wind. He was wearing an old and greasy military coat, the hem of which rustled.
His gaze fell on the little girl whose eyes were red from crying. He opened his arms, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were gentler than ever before.
"Tingting, Dad is back."
When the old man heard the familiar voice, he froze in place. The little girl's eyes, still filled with tears, curved into slits as she smiled. She rushed forward desperately, into the strong and warm embrace!
He picked up the little girl and rubbed his rough beard against her tear-stained face. This time, the little girl did not avoid him like before. Instead, she smiled and moved closer to his face, wrapping her arms around his neck as if she was hugging the whole world.
"Dad." The little girl pursed her lips and said happily, "Welcome back!"
