Nuannuan's entire family came to Su Xi's funeral.
The little girl's eyes were as red as a rabbit's at the funeral.
The whole family took turns to comfort and care for her.
Nuan Nuan——"I... I'm not sad. When the teacher left, she said... that she had finally found the person she was waiting for."
She said she wasn't sad, but she couldn't hide her red eyes, and as she spoke she couldn't control her tears from falling.
Nuannuan hugged her mother, her mouth pursed and she didn't say a word.
Those big eyes with clear black and white were moist as they kept looking at the gentle photo on the teacher's tombstone.
After the funeral, Su He followed her mother's will and kept the Su family house for herself. However, the embroidery she left behind was distributed among her three apprentices.
Nuannuan kept all the things the teacher gave her carefully, and also kept the photos of her and the teacher in photo frames.
"Sir, I haven't seen Wangcai since this morning. I don't know where he went."
The nanny was extremely anxious. "Wangcai has been in low spirits for a while. I thought it was because the old lady was too sad. But I didn't worry too much because we had already eaten. But today, it didn't show up. I was worried that something might have happened to it."
Everyone's expression changed immediately.
I immediately started looking for it.
Nuannuan brought Lele and found a small pile of dog food in the yard. Judging from the amount, Wangcai must have not eaten since Su Xi died, so all the food was buried here.
That means it has been hungry for several days.
Domesticated dogs will become very intelligent over time. Before they die, they will leave home and find a place alone to wait for death quietly.
Wangcai is going to starve himself to death!
Everyone was looking for Wangcai, and finally found it on a small hill.
Wild flowers were blooming all over the hillside. Wangcai fell dead on a cluster of iris flowers. The Su family's old house could be seen in the direction his head was facing.
The dog is so big, but now it feels so light when I pick it up.
Nuannuan hugged the big dog's body and cried inconsolably.
The sky was gloomy, just like everyone's mood.
Everyone stood there in silence, their eyes reddened as they listened to the little girl's crying.
In the Su family, apart from Su Xi, Nuan Nuan and Wang Cai have the deepest relationship.
Wangcai's departure has now brought her a great blow.
Wangcai has been with Su Xi for more than ten years. She raised it from childhood to adulthood and it has long become like a family member to her.
On the night of Su Xi's burial, it left the house where it had lived for more than ten years and went out alone to die.
Even if it died, it died among the flowers that Su Xi loved, silently looking at the house where it had lived since childhood until it no longer breathed.
Lele walked up to Nuannuan and nudged her with his head. He understood Wangcai's behavior. If it were him and Nuannuan, he would also go to die without hesitation.
Finally, they buried Wangcai next to Su Xi's grave, so that he could continue to accompany her.
Nuannuan held Lele in her arms when she went to sleep that night. Several cats also found a place to stay next to her, and Dahuang lay quietly beside the bed.
In the second half of the night, I could occasionally hear her crying. Nuannuan was still asleep, but I didn’t know what she dreamed about. She was crying even in her sleep.
…
They stayed at the Su family for a while. After taking care of all of Su Xi's affairs, it was time for them to go back.
Two days before returning to Lincheng, Xiaoqi, who had left after Su Xi's burial, came back and brought them a surprise.
It came back with another Saker Falcon.
A smaller Saker Falcon.
Two Saker Falcons stood on the treetops and called out to Nuannuan.
Nuan Nuan's eyes widened——"Who is Xiao Qi?"
Xiao Qi tilted his head and rubbed the Saker Falcon next to him gently, mumbling something inaudible.
However, from the sticky attitude of the two Saker Falcons, it can be seen that they are obviously a pair!
So after coming here, sometimes this guy doesn’t show up for such a long time because he is looking for a wife!
Nuan Nuan——“…” This was totally unexpected.
Nuannuan moved over and raised her hands slowly. Both Saker Falcons rubbed their heads against her palms.
Then it suddenly flew up, but instead of flying away, it flew forward for some distance and then came back to circle above her head.
Gu Mingli touched his chin - "Nuannuan, they wouldn't ask you to follow them, would they?"
Nuan Nuan nodded——"I'll go take a look."
"We're with you."
Gu Mingli, Gu An and Xie Jingsheng all followed.
Then they climbed up a very high mountain breathlessly, and finally the two Saker Falcons stopped on a sturdy tree.
They landed among the leaves, and looking up, they could vaguely see a large bird's nest.
Gu Mingli——"It's not what I thought."
Two falcons hung down from the branches and called out to Nuannuan twice, as if asking her to go up and take a look.
Nuan Nuan "I can't get up there QAQ"
This tree is too tall.
Finally, Nuannuan climbed up with the help of her fourth brother.
In fact, as long as you are not afraid of heights, it will be fine, because the branches of this tree are really thick and can easily support them.
Nuannuan crawled over slowly, thinking to herself that it was a good thing that she was not wearing a skirt today, otherwise she would definitely not be willing to climb up.
The nest of the two Saker Falcons was very large. In the middle of the nest, there were three white bird eggs lying quietly!
Nuannuan opened her mouth in surprise.
"Brother Jingsheng, Xiaoqi is having a baby, and three of them!"
Nuannuan was so excited that she immediately shared the good news with her brother and Xie Jingsheng.
The gloomy mood brought by the death of teacher and Wangcai in the past few days has become cheerful because of this new life, and those smart eyes are also filled with smiles.
Seeing her like this, the three people present couldn't help but be infected by her happiness and became happy too.
Gu Mingli has no past. Even though those two families may accept Nuannuan to visit their children, they may not necessarily accept her.
After the excitement, Nuannuan thought of another problem.
"Xiao Qi, are you going to stay here and settle down?"
Xiaoqi's wife and baby are here, so they won't go back with him.
Xiao Qi cooed a few times, rubbed his head against her, then walked to the center of the nest and gently nudged one of the eggs with his head in her direction.
The other Saker Falcon did not stop it either, apparently this was something they had discussed beforehand.
Nuannuan's eyes lit up with surprise.
"Nuannuan, are you going to take the baby and your wife back with you?"
Xiao Qi nodded.
Nuan Nuan——“!!” This is such a surprise!
Not only is her Xiaoqi looking for a wife, he is also bringing his wife and baby to join her!
Apparently, the others had not expected that the two Saker Falcons would be willing to hand over their babies to Nuannuan.
But everyone is happy with the result.
The temperature is just right now, so there is no need to worry about the three baby birds getting cold.
Nuannuan carefully put the three eggs in her clothes and was very careful with every step she took when going down the mountain, for fear that she would accidentally fall.
It’s okay if she falls, but the babies must not fall!
