Chapter 13 Counting Twigs
Because of the day off, Lu Ting came back early today.
Hearing the noise outside the door, the little guy jumped up from the small bench and rushed straight towards the dusty man.
The little guy called sweetly: "Daddy~"
"Yeah." Lu Ting responded lightly and raised his hand to rub Xiao Taozhi's little head.
After a few days of getting along, Lu Ting no longer rejected physical contact with Tao Zhi. Sometimes he even liked it when the sweet and soft little girl jumped into his arms.
"What did you do today?" Lu Ting chatted with Tao Zhi in a casual manner.
Taozhi immediately started talking. She blinked her grape-sized eyes and excitedly shared her day with Lu Ting:
"Zhizhi, get up early and bask in the sun. Only by basking in the sun can you grow taller. Yaya will also grow taller!"
The small peach branch above the small pottery branch is growing very well. The newly emerged green buds are tender and full of vitality.
Lu Ting, who couldn't see the small peach branch on Tao Zhi's head, naturally thought the little guy was talking nonsense and didn't take his words to heart at all.
"And then?" Lu Ting listened patiently as he walked past the closet door.
The wardrobe door is a high-tech clothing-changing device based on nanotechnology. Users only need to set the clothes they need to change and then pass through the door to change.
In the time it took to go in and out, Lu Ting had already changed into a comfortable home outfit.
"Then Zhizhi played hide-and-seek with the puppy! But for some reason, the puppy could always find Zhizhi quickly." The little guy scratched his head in confusion.
Tao Zhi couldn't understand it. She hid well every time, but was still found by the dog!
"That's because dogs have a very sensitive nose." Lu Ting explained patiently and gently.
"Hmm..." Little Taozhi nodded, not quite understanding. "In the afternoon, Zhizhi and the dog watched two episodes of 'Grey Sheep and Big Wolf' together. Big Wolf still didn't get to eat the sheep today! Then Zhizhi sat on that little stool the whole time waiting for Daddy to get off work. Isn't Zhizhi very obedient?"
"Be good." Lu Ting gently pinched Tao Zhi's soft little face.
The little face of the white powder ball is like a piece of tender tofu, as if water can be squeezed out of it with a light pinch.
It makes people want to pinch it.
Suddenly, a magnetic light ring appeared on Lu Ting's wrist and began to vibrate slightly.
Lu Ting lowered his eyes and glanced. It was Assistant Zhang calling.
If you're still looking for him after get off work, it must be something extremely urgent.
"Kid, do you know my room?" Lu Ting squatted down, but he was still half a head taller than Tao Zhi.
Little Taozhi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she proudly raised her face and said, "Zhizhi knows! It's right next to Zhizhi's room, right?"
"Yes." Lu Ting nodded. "Then can you help me get a document?"
"Good duck~"
Good boy Tao Zhi is very helpful!
"It's on the first shelf in the room, in the thirteenth file bag."
"The first floor... thirteen..." Little Taozhi repeated it again obediently, "Don't worry, Daddy, Zhizhi guarantees to complete the task!"
Then he stretched out his short legs and ran away.
With such short legs, he can run so fast without worrying about falling.
Lu Ting chuckled inwardly, took a long step, and walked into the artificial garden. Then, with a "swish", the anti-peeping barrier door opened automatically behind him.
Lightly touch the photomagnetic ring, a beam of blue light suddenly appears, and the image of Assistant Zhang is displayed on the blue screen in the air.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ting's expression suddenly became serious, and he spoke in his usual cold tone.
Assistant Zhang reported truthfully: "Lu Pan, I apologize for taking up your personal time. Headquarters just received an urgent order: a mutant beast has appeared in Desare Village, causing heavy casualties. Headquarters is dispatching you to lead the Judgment Guards to eliminate the beast immediately."
"knew."
Lu Ting reeled in the line expressionlessly, then lightly touched the photomagnetic ring, and the image of Assistant Zhang in the air disappeared.
As the most elite army under the Inquisitor, the Judgment Guard is generally not dispatched easily.
It seems that this strange beast must be extremely ferocious. Furthermore, it is likely a new mutant species, and there is no relevant information about it...
A bit tricky.
Lu Ting walked towards the living room thoughtfully, his eyelids slightly raised, but the living room was empty.
It's just to get a document, why doesn't this kid come down yet?
Could it be that he bumped into something?
That shouldn't be the case. There was no movement upstairs at all.
Lu Ting frowned, quickened his pace and hurried upstairs.
"Kid?" Lu Ting shouted from the entrance of the corridor.
No response.
What's going on?
Lu Ting was confused and walked to the door of his room in two or three steps, then suddenly stopped.
I saw little Taozhi crouching in front of a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, her chubby little fingers carefully counting the documents on the shelf:
“One, two…”
The little fellow scratched his head in annoyance, staring blankly at his fingers, muttering to himself, "What comes after two?"
An idea flashed in the little head, "Zhizhi knows!"
When Taozhi was still a small branch growing on a peach tree, he often saw the mother duck taking her ducklings out for a walk. The mother duck would quack and shout slogans: "First take a step with your left paw, quack, then take a step with your right paw, quack! One, two, one, quack! One, two, one, quack! Don't fall behind, quack! One, two, one..."
So after two comes...
one!
Zhizhi is so smart!
Little Taozhi patted his head proudly and patiently started counting again: "One, two, one, one, two, one..."
Lu Ting, who was standing at the door: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Whose child is this stupid little kid? How come he's so dumb he can't even count?
Lu Ting held his forehead helplessly, wondering whether to send the little guy to kindergarten, but unexpectedly the little guy discovered him.
"Daddy..." Little Taozhi said softly and cutely, sounding aggrieved. "You lied to me!"
"Huh?" Lu Ting was confused.
Little Taozhi put her hands on her hips and righteously accused Lu Ting of deceiving children: "Daddy wants Zhizhi to get the thirteenth file, but there are no thirteen files here!"
"Count it again for me."
Little Taozhi counted again in a very serious manner: "One, two, one, one, two, one..."
Lu Ting: "..."
How the hell do you teach this little brat to count like this?!
Stand up and see if Lu Ting will kill him!
"Kid, who taught you to count like this?" The veins on Lu Ting's forehead bulged.
He asked softly with a forced smile, trying to look as friendly as possible.
Little Taozhi said innocently: "It's the mother duck!"
"duck……"
What the hell!
What nonsense is this little brat talking about in broad daylight?
Suddenly, the magnetic bracelet on Lu Ting's wrist vibrated twice.
Lu Ting lowered his eyes and glanced at it. It was an urging message from Assistant Zhang.
"Kid, I have to go out for two days for something. You stay at home and tell Aunt Zhao if you have anything." Lu Ting simply said a few words to Tao Zhi and was about to leave.
suddenly.
Lu Ting's feet sank.
It turned out that it was Xiao Taozhi who suddenly rushed over and hugged his calf.
The little fellow clung to Lu Ting with his paws, refusing to let go. His voice was soft and pitiful: "Daddy, where are you going?"
