Chapter 018 On the way
At six o'clock the next day, before dawn, Bai Su got up.
He had already packed the things he was going to take with him last night. He got up so early today just to prepare a decent gift for the two little tigers.
Keos gave him a very good suggestion: send the two little tigers to be fostered at Mrs. Susan's house next door.
During the day, Aaron and Gabi can go to the Boy Scout camp with Mrs. Susan's youngest son, Orin, to receive socialization training, where they will learn how to get along with human children. As an instructor at the Boy Scout camp, Faria will also pay special attention to the two children.
After the training camp ends, Lisa will pick up the children herself when she gets off work. At this time, the two children can turn back into little tigers, roll around on the farm, and vent their unused energy.
At night, Mrs. Susan takes care of the two children's diet and sleep. She is definitely an experienced and trustworthy housewife.
In this way, Bai Su can be completely at ease when he is on a business trip in Oat Town - the farm is built and maintained by long-term workers, the crops are taken care of by centaurs who are proficient in planting and sent by the city hall, and the children will definitely be well taken care of by Mrs. Susan, who is good at raising children.
When Bai Su returns from his business trip, everything will be even better than before he left.
Moreover, Keos revealed that the idea came from Faria.
"Faria?" Bai Su was a little bit unbelievable. After that wave of actions in the afternoon, Faria's image as a daredevil was completely confirmed in his mind. He didn't believe that Faria could come up with such an appropriate solution.
"Faria has realized his outspokenness," Keos explained, "although I think he's afraid I'll punish him. After leaving the town hall, he first visited Mrs. Susan and her family, and only after obtaining their consent did he tell me this news. Then, as you can see, I came to wait for you at the town hall door with this news."
Bai Su smiled slightly. "So that's how it is. But I'm still very curious about how Faria convinced Mrs. Susan and her family. I mean, even if Mrs. Susan is a very good neighbor, how could she so readily agree to help take care of two children, two tiger orc cubs at that?"
At this time, they just walked to the fork in the road in front of Bai Su's house.
The young centaur with gray braids stopped, the sunset light illuminating his face, half bright and half shadowed.
The intersection of light and dark makes his face look even more handsome, as if it were carved with a knife.
His square pupils, gleaming with gold, were like a bottomless pool. He stared straight at Bai Su and whispered, "Don't you know? A love for humans is ingrained in Centaurs' blood. Under Lisa's fanatical pursuit, Faria finally gave in. They're dating."
"Mrs. Susan's family all know about it."
"So Faria probably made this request to Mrs. Susan as a future son-in-law, as compensation for offending his boss."
·
I have to say, Keos's face is so handsome that it is extremely deceptive.
Therefore, Bai Su had no time to think about the deeper meaning of Keos's words. He was completely dazzled by his handsomeness. He said goodbye to Keos with a wandering look and stammered, and then went to the farm to inspect the work.
When he returned home in the evening and explained the arrangements for the next few days to the two little tigers, when he was lying in bed alone, Bai Su found that he couldn't sleep at all and was not sleepy at all.
My mind is full of Keos!
I forgot how many horses I counted in the end, but there were at least three or four thousand. Only then did Bai Su fall asleep with difficulty.
When he woke up in the morning, he was so sleepy that his eyelids were almost sticking to his lower eyelids, but he had to force himself to cheer up so that he could bake a perfect eight-inch cream cake.
The two little tigers woke up in the sweet aroma of freshly baked chiffon cakes.
When Bai Su turned around, he saw Gabi drooling and looking at him with an extremely longing look.
Bai Su was very happy.
He took out the scraps he had just reserved, casually spread a layer of cream on it, sprinkled some fruit pieces on it, brought it to the dining room, and told the two little tigers to wash up quickly and then come over for breakfast.
"Brother Bai Su, can't you not go?" After helping Bai Su clean up the dishes, Allen asked tentatively again.
He was old enough to understand a little bit and knew that not everyone loved orc cubs like Bai Su did.
Bai Su felt very uncomfortable with his pitiful little look.
Bai Su's original plan was to bring them with him, but Keos reminded him that the two children's temporary identification documents were only valid in Boeing Town. For safety reasons, he had to give up the idea.
He squatted down, looking the two children in the eye, and reassured them, "I absolutely have no intention of shirking my responsibility to raise you." He rubbed Gabi's round belly again, "Gabi, do you remember what it feels like to be hungry? It must be very uncomfortable."
Innocent Gabi nodded.
Bai Su continued, "But there are still many people who are hungry now, and there may be even more people who will be hungry in the future. My brother went out this time to do something to prevent people from going hungry."
"You don't want other children to go hungry, right?" Bai Su used a moral blackmail, immediately confusing the two little tigers who didn't even have kindergarten diplomas. "Besides, you have to interact with other children, right? Mrs. Susan has a little boy at home who's about your age and is also in Adjutant Faria's Boy Scout training camp. I'm sure you can become good friends."
Bai Su praised the two little tigers for a lot and finally calmed them down. Then he took them to foster homes.
After three knocks on the door, it was soon opened.
Suddenly, the familiar aroma of baked bread wafted out.
"Good morning, Susan." Bai Su said a little stiffly, "I haven't invited your family to the farm yet, and now I have to trouble you to help me look after the children. I'm really sorry."
"I believe that day won't be too far away, right?" The woman winked at Bai Su kindly. "I've seen you've been making a lot of big moves recently. In fact, we're all looking forward to visiting your brand new farm."
"It won't be too far." Bai Su brought over the ten-inch dinner plate with the lid on. "Lisa told me you guys liked the cake last time, so I wrote down the recipe. And this, this is a change of clothes for Alan and Gabi."
Mrs. Susan took the cake with a smile: "I think I can learn how to make it before you come back, and maybe bake some for the children to try - by the way, where are your children?"
Hearing this, Bai Su smiled mysteriously, and in front of Mrs. Susan's puzzled eyes, he squatted down so that she could see the exquisite basket that had been ignored since a while ago and was placed at Bai Su's feet.
Bai Su gently lifted the floral cloth covering it——
"Meow."
Two orange and black little tigers were nestled on the soft cushion, their eyes wide open, like harmless cats, greeting Mrs. Susan in their soft voices.
"Oh!" Mrs. Susan was immediately captivated. "They are so cute!"
…
After handing the two little tigers over to Mrs. Susan, who was overjoyed by their cuteness, Bai Su turned around and saw a group of people gathered in front of his house not far away.
The gray-haired centaur in the lead was looking at him from afar.
Bai Su subconsciously smiled, but realized that due to the distance between them, Keos couldn't see his expression clearly, so he quickened his pace.
"Good morning, Keos, good morning, everyone." Bai Su almost jogged back, with a few fine beads of sweat on his nose, making him look particularly cute.
"Good morning. Have you packed your things?" Keos asked him.
Bai Su nodded vigorously: "Everything is packed up."
Keos then entered the house with Bai Su, accompanied by several human guards. Under his command, they carefully carried the remaining four large bags of seeds.
Bai Su also took this opportunity to go upstairs to get his luggage.
After more than 4,000 kilograms of seeds were successfully loaded onto the carriage, Bai Su, carrying his small bag, was supported by Keos - to be precise, Keos held him under his armpits and carried him directly onto the carriage.
The black-haired young man's face flushed beautifully, and he said shyly: "I can climb up by myself."
The carriage was really high, and Bai Su couldn't get on. When he was about to put down his pride and climb up, Keos saw his embarrassment and lifted him up.
The slightly teasing looks from the other guards made Bai Su even more shy.
"Okay." Keos gently patted the bay horse pulling the carriage. Perhaps because of the slight animal resemblance, the bay horse neighed proudly as if receiving some kind of praise. "I will follow this carriage. You can see me when you lift the curtain. If you need anything or feel uncomfortable, please let me know immediately."
Seeing Bai Su startled by the horse's neighing and sitting down on the carriage, Keos smiled and added, "Zaoye is a gentle girl. Maybe it's her first time meeting you, so she's a little excited. I'll introduce you to each other during lunch break."
He gestured to Bai Su to enter the carriage first, and then rubbed the chestnut mare named Zaoye soothingly.
The team was ready, and Keos stepped back slightly, and the charioteer got on the chariot and drove the horses.
"Keos." Bai Su lifted the curtain and poked his head out. "Everything will go well, right?"
"Everything will go well with me here," assured the tall and handsome Centaur guard captain.
·
Two carriages, one large and one small, and a guard team of ten people walked south along the river and gradually disappeared on the plain.
When the wheel marks were completely blown away by the wind and sand, a white leopard with black rose patterns gently jumped down from a tree at the edge of the forest.
It squatted down, licked its paws gracefully, and then carefully combed the hair on its cheeks that was stained with grass debris.
The whole snow leopard looks like a beautiful doll.
Then, the snow leopard stretched out its paws, bent its waist, stuck out its buttocks, and stretched itself. The moment its body returned to normal, it chased in the direction the carriage left like a flash of white lightning.
