"His family must be in trouble. Why don't we take him back and let the clan leader deal with it? Now that we've seen it, we can't just sit back and watch him die in the wilderness." Bai Luoyu felt a little sorry for the baby as he hugged his neck tightly as soon as he got into his arms.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's go back now." Gu Nianchen put the note away and followed Bai Luoyu back.
Along the way, Gu Nianchen carried all the firewood that the two had picked up on his back. After returning to the tribe, he did not go home, but went directly to the chief's house.
"Chief, are you home?" Bai Luoyu shouted at the door of the chief's house.
Soon a tall orc came out. Gu Nianchen saw that his aura was indeed extraordinary.
"What's the matter, little rabbit?" Lei Shi saw Gu Nianchen only when he walked to the door. At first, because of the fence, he couldn't see clearly and thought that the firewood next to Bai Luoyu was piled up by him.
"Why are you here, Sloppy Little Wolf? The sun is rising from the west, and you've come to hand in the firewood so early." Sloppy Little Wolf is the nickname Lei Shi gave to Gu Nianchen.
"Uncle clan leader, we found a baby and a note in the western mountains. Take a look." Bai Luoyu showed the baby in her arms, and asked Gu Nianchen to take out the note and show it to clan leader Lei Shi.
"This looks a bit like a human cub. How could it be sent to our orc tribe and abandoned? It's such a cute little guy. Since he chose you, you should take care of him." Lei Shi touched the baby's face with his fingers. The baby kept hiding in Bai Luoyu's arms.
"ah?"
"ah?"
Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu exclaimed at the same time, and looked at each other, wondering if the patriarch had become senile.
"What? You picked him up, so of course you have to take care of him. When he can walk, you can send him to the orc kindergarten. Put down the firewood and go back to take good care of him." After Lei Shi finished speaking, he ignored the two people who were still in a daze with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, and turned around and walked back to the yard.
Gu Nianchen pushed away the branches hanging over his head, then said to Bai Luoyu, "Cat, cat, rabbit, what should we do?"
"What else can I do? You were the one who found it, so you should raise it." Bai Luoyu held the baby in front of Gu Nianchen.
"Ah? How can a grown man like me support him?" Gu Nianchen took a step back in fright.
"What? What do you mean? Am I not a big man? My small size is a genetic problem. Is it something I can decide? Are you discriminating against me, you big idiot?" Bai Luoyu got furious when he heard this. Although he was small, he was also a man. How dare this big idiot laugh at him.
Gu Nianchen panicked for a moment: "No, that's not what I meant."
"Wow!" Gu Nianchen was about to explain when the baby started crying.
Bai Luoyu quickly took the baby back into his arms, rocking him back and forth, coaxing him: "Don't cry, don't cry, we will ignore you, big fool, and go home."
Gu Nianchen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Luoyu leaving with the baby in his arms. Thanks to the baby for saving his life, otherwise it seemed that Bai Luoyu would not have let him off easily.
So he quickly found a piece of open space, put the firewood on his body neatly down, and then quickly caught up with Bai Luoyu.
Strangely enough, as soon as Bai Luoyu talked to the baby and coaxed him, he stopped crying at all.
He was babbling all the way as if he was talking to Bai Luoyu.
"He likes you very much, Cat, Cat and Rabbit." Gu Nianchen also stretched his neck to look from time to time.
"Of course!"
The two of them walked back home quickly, and Gu Nianchen followed them back to Bai Luoyu's small courtyard.
"Why did you follow in?" Bai Luoyu asked.
"I, I'll see if I can help." Gu Nianchen said haltingly.
Bai Luoyu rolled his eyes at Gu Nianchen and said, "How can you help? What are you good at?"
"Uh... no." This question left Gu Nianchen confused.
"That is to say, what should we do if he is hungry?" Bai Luoyu put the baby on the table, holding his chin with his hand and looking worried.
Gu Nianchen also imitated Bai Luoyu and held his chin to think. Suddenly, he thought of a solution and stood up.
"What are you doing? You scared me." Gu Nianchen's sudden action frightened Bai Luoyu so much that she jumped up, pinching her waist and glaring at Gu Nianchen.
"I'm sorry, Maomaotu, I remembered. Please wait for me." Gu Nianchen said and ran away.
Bai Luoyu stood there, looking at Gu Nianchen, who had never run so fast before, and shook his head: "You're crazy, what good ideas do you have?"
After saying that, he sat back at the table and looked at the baby: "Your name is Xiaobai, right? You have the same last name as me. You are so cute, how could your mom and dad bear to abandon you? They will definitely come back to pick you up, don't worry. I don't know if you are a boy or a girl yet, let me take a look." Bai Luoyu opened the cloth bundle that wrapped Xiaobai: "It's a boy. You must grow tall in the future to avoid being laughed at by the big fool."
As soon as Bai Luoyu spoke, Xiaobai giggled, making Bai Luoyu laugh too.
"Mee~~Mee~~"
Bai Luoyu faintly heard the sound of a lamb in the distance. He looked up and saw Gu Nianchen pulling a lamb and running towards them. He was so fast that the lamb could not keep up with him and was almost dragged over by him.
"Cat, cat, rabbit, there's milk, there's milk." Gu Nianchen shouted while running.
"Bah, you have milk." Bai Luoyu spat at Gu Nianchen.
But he also understood what Gu Nianchen meant. What he brought over was a dairy goat.
"Hehe, I was so anxious that I connected them together." Gu Nianchen scratched his head.
"I didn't expect you to be so smart. Did you steal this from someone's house?" Bai Luoyu asked vigilantly. Although Gu Nianchen had only stolen food from other people's homes before and had never stolen anything, he still had to ask clearly.
"No, no, I wouldn't steal anything. I saw this yesterday when I went up the mountain to take a shower. It's wild." Gu Nianchen waved his hands quickly, thinking that he had to bear a lot of blame for what the original owner had done.
"That's good, but you have to be responsible for cutting the grass and delivering it every day." Bai Luoyu said.
Gu Nianchen nodded quickly: "Okay, no problem."
Bai Luoyu searched around inside but couldn't find anything suitable for Xiaobai to use as a bed, so he took out a bamboo basket. Xiaobai was just right to lie in it, but children grow fast, and in another month, it might not be enough.
Bai Luoyu sighed, and Gu Nianchen took a look and understood what was going on: "It's too late today, I'll go pick up some wood tomorrow and make a bed for him. Is he a boy or a girl?
"Xiaobai is a boy, so be more domineering." Bai Luoyu said and turned to tease Xiaobai: "Did you hear that? The Big Bad Wolf said he would make a bed for you. Are you happy?"
Gu Nianchen was a little intoxicated by what he saw. The scene seemed like that of their family of three.
"Why don't you go back to bed and get up early tomorrow to make Xiaobai's bed? What are you standing there for?"
"Oh, okay, hehe." Gu Nianchen smiled foolishly and went back to the cave.
