Chapter 31
The inn during the day was as deserted as the street, with few people walking around.
Ming Qiao was barefoot, and when he stepped on the floor, perhaps because he was small, the sound was not loud.
He didn't run around when he came out, but went to room 444 with a clear goal.
Daddy's room is 444, and he wants to go to this room to find his daddy.
soon.
Mingqiao saw room 444 and the door was slightly open.
really!
"Daddy is here!"
The cub who found the adults, regardless of the red forehead, ran over excitedly and stopped at the door.
The door would open if pushed, but the sneaky kitten didn't push the door open.
After he woke up, his little head was still very smart.
It was not right that his parents suddenly got up from bed and left their cub alone in bed!
So, he wanted to see what his father and mother were doing while carrying their baby on their backs!
The curious kid put his face against the crack of the door and looked in secretly.
When he saw this, his mouth opened in shock.
Wow.
Daddy is actually hugging Mommy!
The cub, who had just been looking for his father and mother with a bit of grievance, this time covered his mouth, and was so happy that he wanted to spin in circles.
Mother usually only hugs the baby and never hugs Daddy. Not only does she not let Daddy hug her, she doesn't even let Daddy hold her hand.
Now that there has been such rapid progress, the kids peeking outside the door have sparkling eyes.
He turned around quietly and ran back to the room on tiptoe.
"hey-hey."
The kid ran back, climbed onto the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, and laughed foolishly.
After he finished his silly grin, his excited little heart found it a little hard to calm down.
After wrapping himself in the quilt for a while, he simply crawled out, took a pen and paper, and prepared to write a diary!
He wants to record the first hug from his daddy and mommy!
The kid in the room was busy working, biting the tip of a pen.
In another room.
Qingheng, who was still being held, couldn't help but speak again.
"Have you hugged enough?"
His usually cold voice seemed to be a little hoarse from being roasted by this hot embrace: "Qiao Qiao is awake."
Although Qingheng was being held, he was not a scarecrow and was not without any sense of touch.
He heard the sound of his baby's feet stepping on the ground just now.
Wu Ye was still holding her, without relaxing his grip at all.
His bloodshot eyes were tightly closed, and with Qingheng's cooperative hug, the anxiety in his heart was also relieved.
However, there has been some relief, but the situation has not been completely resolved.
"Qingheng."
Wu Ye's voice was low and hoarse, his breath unrestrainedly falling on Qing Heng's porcelain-like skin. He said pitifully, "I feel so bad."
"Thirteenth Lady gave me something."
Wu Ye is not as sensible as his son.
His child has a good temper. He won't make a fuss even when he vomits after taking bitter medicine. After spitting out blood, he will use his little hands to wipe his mouth.
He doesn't act like a kid, he is really miserable.
"I feel bad."
Wu Ye kept talking about his discomfort and torture.
When Qingheng heard the word "traditional Chinese medicine", his mind went blank.
He had absolutely no experience dealing with this.
“You, you——”
When Qing Heng thought about that kind of medicine, his fair earlobes instantly turned red. He finally struggled and tried to push Wu Ye away: "Don't hug me, I'll go find someone for you, no, you go find someone yourself."
"I don't want it."
Wu Ye refused without even thinking: "I'm so handsome, I can't let others take advantage of me."
Qingheng: "..."
Qingheng was so annoyed by him that he didn't know what to say.
Wu Ye lowered his head and slowly rubbed Qingheng's neck.
He added quietly, "Besides, I can't find a stepmother for Qiao Qiao."
Qingheng listened to him speaking words that became more and more outrageous. After enduring for a few seconds, he could not bear it anymore.
"You don't want to find anyone, right?" he asked calmly.
Wu Ye hummed, wanting to rub against it again like a large dog.
Qingheng's tone was calm, and his expression was even calmer.
He said calmly: "Since you don't want to find someone, then I will help you."
Wu Ye: “!”
Wu Ye was ecstatic.
He raised his head suddenly, and at that moment, he felt as if some big prize had hit him on the forehead with a bang.
For the first time, he was so excited that he was speechless.
While Wu Ye was still immersed in this great joy and hadn't reacted, Qingheng's slender and beautiful fingers pinched his chin.
Wu Ye: “!!!”
Wu Ye swallowed hard.
His brain was working rapidly, guessing, what Qingheng meant by help, was it to kiss him? Was it to have sex with him? !
Isn't this too fast?!
As Wu Ye made his guess, he trembled all over because of this speculation.
He was trembling, and suddenly——
Suddenly, someone grabbed the back of his neck.
The next second, he felt a pain in his neck, his body went limp, and he fell down.
Qingheng looked at the person who was knocked unconscious by him and snorted coldly.
He asked for a bucket of cold water, soaked the man in it to cool him down, then found a pill he had made to reduce internal heat and fed it to the man.
If the effects of the drug still cannot be eliminated after using both internal and external treatments, Qingheng thought indifferently, then it would be none of his business.
He was guarding this man here from day till dusk.
During this time, he returned to his room.
The baby was sleeping soundly on the bed in the room, holding a pen in his little hand and a piece of paper on his face.
Qingheng picked up the paper and looked at it.
There were words on the paper at first, but probably because the words were written incorrectly, several ink dots were smeared on it. As the ink dots became more and more, the little guy simply gave up writing and started drawing instead.
He drew a family of three.
Two adults are hugging each other, and a small baby is watching nearby.
Qingheng looked at the painting and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He put away the paper and pen, made the bed, and finally turned the baby over and covered his belly with a quilt.
After doing all this, he went to see another big one.
The setting sun at dusk slowly falls from the horizon.
The deserted streets and inns began to be filled with voices.
Qingheng sat on the bed next to the bucket and meditated with his eyes closed.
After hearing the rustling sound of water and a muffled groan, he opened his eyes and saw Wu Ye waking up in the bucket.
After being soaked in cold water for so long, Wu Ye's anger was finally suppressed.
However, he had a dark face, gripped the edge of the bucket, and continued to grit his teeth.
"Qingheng."
He shouted, "You put me in here, are you trying to make me useless?!"
One is hot and the other is cold. If it were someone else, he would probably be eliminated on the spot!
Qingheng didn't even raise his eyelids. He stood up and pretended not to understand what Wu Ye was saying.
"Qiao Qiao should wake up. I'm going to go see Qiao Qiao."
"Come back!"
Wu Ye wanted to argue further, but Qing Heng didn't give him a chance at all.
The door slammed shut.
Wu Ye, who was still soaking in the water, could only look at Qingheng without even a glimpse of his back.
In another room.
Ming Qiao was awake by now. He was wearing a shirt and was bending his fat feet with his head down, counting something in his mouth.
Qing Heng sat down and touched his head: "Why didn't you call for help after you woke up?"
"Jojo can play by himself."
Ming Qiao rolled his eyes and didn't say that he went to peek at his father and mother.
Qingheng didn't expose him, but just hugged him, held his chubby little feet and looked at them.
The nails have grown out a bit.
Qingheng trimmed his little hands and feet, and then helped him wash his face and put on his clothes.
"I'll buy you some new clothes later."
Qingheng had planned to buy some new clothes before, but things kept coming up and he still hasn't managed to do so.
"Daddy can do it."
When Ming Qiao heard that they were going to buy clothes, he tilted his head and said, "The clothes my dad makes are so beautiful."
"The clothes in the tailor's shop are also beautiful."
Qingheng said this, picked up the cub and prepared to go out.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Wu Ye who had changed his clothes.
Wu Ye's face was still tense at this moment.
He stared at Qingheng without blinking, wanting to hear Qingheng's words of concern.
No, just one sentence will do.
Wu Ye thought with a sour face that as long as you said a little bit of concern for him, he would not mind pinching him unconscious and soaking him in cold water.
The two adults looked at each other, and after a while, Qingheng spoke.
"Want to go eat?"
Wu Ye: “…”
Wu Ye crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly: "Huh."
Qingheng: "Are you going or not?"
Wu Ye: “Go!”
Forget it, calling him to have breakfast must be because you care whether he is hungry or not!
Since she has taken the initiative to care about him, he can't take it too seriously.
A real man should be able to bend and stretch.
Wu Ye walked down the stairs consciously, came over and took Ming Qiao into his arms.
"Let's go to that restaurant that sells stir-fried dishes?"
"Yeah, their soup is good."
Watching his father and mother start a normal conversation, Ming Qiao sat on his father's arm and grinned.
The inn is not far from the auction house.
The restaurant they were going to eat at was also near the auction house.
After filling his stomach, Qingheng found a clothing store and walked in.
When the clothing store owner saw the three of them come in, he suddenly felt brighten up.
"Yo, who do you buy clothes for?"
"It's Qiao Qiao!"
The kid who wanted to buy clothes raised his hand actively.
He looked at the boss with a friendly smile and told him what clothes he wanted to buy.
"I want sparkly, flowery clothes!"
Children's aesthetic taste is different from that of adults.
Qingheng likes plain and elegant clothes, Wuye likes simple-style clothes that make him look very stylish, and their children like shiny and flowery clothes.
"Qiao Qiao, do you want to wear the same clothes as daddy? Then we can dress like a family."
"don't want."
Ming Qiao was very opinionated. He raised his pretty face and said softly to the boss, "Uncle, Qiao Qiao wants bright clothes."
"Okay, bright spots look good on kids."
The boss went to get some colorful clothes with a smile on his face.
The colors of these clothes are very bright and the materials are smooth, but they may not look good on ordinary children.
Mingqiao is pretty, with a fair and tender face. These colorful clothes surprisingly suit and look good on her.
"When I put on this dress, I look like a pampered young master."
The boss smiled and praised: "These clothes are all very nice to wear. Which one do you want?"
"All of them."
Wu Ye paid the spirit stones and bought all the clothes.
In addition to these clothes, he also bought fabrics from the store.
There are often bargains to be found in Wuxiang City, and the fabrics in this store are one of them.
Wu Ye was an expert in identifying goods. He could feel out the materials of these small garments and the two pieces of cloth piled on the shelf; they were all extremely rare snow-woven cloth.
Clothes made of this fabric are not only comfortable to wear, but also serve as a protective shield like golden soft armor.
After buying the snow-woven cloth, Wu Ye went to other shops and stalls to look around.
Mingqiao doesn’t have a father who knows what goods are, so when he goes shopping, he only buys nice-looking things.
And Wu Ye picked up a few more items one after another.
Time flies by quickly as I wander around.
Mingqiao hugged his father's neck and yawned a little sleepily.
He yawned and was about to close his eyes when he heard the sound of fireworks exploding above his head.
The fireworks exploded, shining brightly in the night sky filled with floating lanterns.
Everyone was looking up at the sky.
Ming Qiao was watching too.
He asked with a dumb look on his face, "Aren't you afraid of catching fire?"
If the fireworks light the lanterns, sparks will fall.
The kid, who was very safety-conscious, struggled in his father's arms as he watched the fireworks continue to be set off.
"Daddy, hide, hide!"
While everyone else was admiring the fireworks in the sky, only the cub, who had a strong sense of safety, was anxiously urging his father to hide.
He doesn't want to watch the fireworks!
He must protect himself and his parents!
"Okay, okay, let's hide now."
Wu Ye held down the kid who was about to fall out of his arms and said, "These fireworks are the signal for the auction to open. Let's go to the auction now."
They came to Wuxiang City and waited for many days just for this auction.
Now that the auction door is open, Qingheng just wants to enter early.
Two invitations are enough for two adults to enter.
Kids like Ming Qiao do not need an invitation as long as they are four years old or younger, but they must be accompanied by an adult.
"Jojo is three and a half, not four."
At the door, the cub whose bone age was being measured cooperated obediently.
"Your bone age doesn't look like you are three and a half years old. You need to eat more. Your development is a bit slow."
The auction staff who measured the bone age also reminded the parents after the test.
When Qingheng heard that the baby was developing slowly, he immediately became worried.
He thanked the auctioneer and then asked, "My child is developing slowly. Can he make up for it by eating more?"
"Of course not, but it's always good to eat more."
The other party said, "There are still some nutritional supplements at the auction, you can buy more."
"Okay, thank you very much."
After expressing his gratitude again, Ming Qiao was brought into the venue by his father and mother.
"Mom, Qiao Qiao eats a lot."
The kid, who was held by his father, frowned. He stretched out his little arms that looked like lotus roots and showed them to his mother: "Qiao Qiao has a lot of flesh."
He eats a lot and has a lot of meat, so he is not lacking in nutrition.
The little guy had a lot of flesh on his body, but Qingheng and Wu Ye looked at each other and they were both worried.
"Once we get out of here, Qiao Qiao's training needs to be put on the agenda."
Qing Heng said softly, "We can't just keep him going with medicine."
"Well, when the time comes, you teach him how to practice, and I'll find him medicine."
Mingqiao cannot stop taking the medicine, and must also start practicing.
If we only rely on one adult, we will definitely be unable to cope with the situation.
The two of them divided the work tacitly, and then found a seat while talking.
The invitation letter that Shisan Niang gave them had seat numbers noted on it, and their seat numbers were quite close to the front.
After sitting down, Ming Qiao immediately noticed the pastries on the table next to him.
"Mother, look at the rabbits and the pigs."
Ming Qiao pointed at the cute-shaped pastries and wanted one.
Wu Ye took two, took a bite himself, paused for a few seconds, and made sure that there was no problem before stuffing it into his little hand.
"It's a bit greasy, don't eat too much."
Mingqiao's two little hands were full of pastries. He happily took a bite of the rabbit and then a bite of the pig.
After taking two bites, Ming Qiao thought that his mother had not eaten yet, so he filially put his little hand to his mother's mouth.
"Mother, second bunny!"
Qingheng looked at the rabbit cake that had been bitten by both the big and the small one. He didn't want to eat it at first, but he couldn't resist the expectant look of his cub.
He moved closer, avoiding the place where Wu Ye had bitten him, and instead took a bite on the mark left by Zi Zi.
After Mingqiao fed the rabbits, he fed the pigs.
Watching his mother take two bites, he felt sweet in his heart.
"Why do you dislike me so much?"
Wu Ye put the baby on his lap, and while the baby was looking around, he lowered his voice and asked Qingheng.
Qingheng ignored him.
Seeing that he ignored him, Wu Ye reached out to poke his arm.
Qingheng frowned but still ignored him.
Wu Ye poked twice more.
Qing Heng was annoyed by the poking: "Why aren't you as honest as Qiao Qiao?"
Wu Ye raised his eyebrows and said quite reasonably: "Who told you to ignore me?"
As he spoke, he touched the back of Qingheng's hand.
Seeing that Qingheng had no other rejection reaction except frowning, he was visibly proud.
"Qingheng, look, I can really touch you."
He still clearly remembered how Qingheng had to hide himself and bend over to vomit after someone touched his arm.
It was precisely because he remembered it clearly that no matter how much he said something naughty, he never touched Qingheng with his hands.
The hug that took place during the day when he lost control still felt like a dream to him after he woke up.
"Do you want to throw up?"
"Will you tremble?"
"Hey, if you have any adverse reactions, don't hold it in."
Wu Ye seemed to have found some new toy, and kept poking Qing Heng with his hands.
Because Zaizai was still present, Qingheng endured it.
But in the end, Wu Ye, who was becoming more and more daring, came to poke him in the face.
"Qingheng, your face is the same as Qiao Qiao—"
Before he could finish his words, Qingheng covered Mingqiao's eyes with one hand and pinched Wu Ye's leg with the other.
“Ouch!”
Wu Ye howled like a wolf in pain.
Qing Heng's attack was extremely ruthless, and this time, Wu Ye almost lost a piece of flesh.
After Wu Ye finished howling, tears were about to burst out.
When Ming Qiao heard his father calling him, he hurriedly took away his mother's hand that was covering his eyes.
"Daddy, why are you so hot?"
"No, it's okay."
Wu Ye's face turned green from the pain, but he held on and didn't have the courage to say that he was punished for his own behavior.
"Just watch your own thing, don't worry about Daddy."
"All right."
Ming Qiao observed and saw that his father was not hurt, so he turned his little face away and continued to watch the game.
Not many people can enter the auction, but those who can enter are not ordinary people.
Some are as rich as a country, some have extremely high cultivation, some have mysterious origins, and some have noble identities.
Ming Qiao looked at these people curiously.
Some people could notice that they were being stared at, but when they looked up and saw that the other person was just a child, most people didn't take it seriously.
Occasionally, someone with a bad temper would give you a warning look.
When Ming Qiao received a warning look from the other party, he would obediently look away and dare not look again.
After waiting for who knows how long, the door of the auction, which had been opened briefly, was closed heavily.
After that, no one is allowed to enter.
Wu Ye looked at the black-robed man who was hosting the auction and standing on the podium. He sat up straight, waiting for the detoxification pill to appear.
"The first item to be auctioned is a weapon, the last work of Master Refiner Zhou..."
The opening is a good thing. If it were in the past, Wu Ye would definitely shoot it.
But at this moment, he sat very still, showing no intention of being photographed.
Wu Ye didn’t take any pictures of weapon secrets or treasure maps.
But Wu Ye took pictures of all the magical herbs and cute ornaments.
Mingqiao was very happy.
He stood directly on Wu Ye's legs and watched his father take pictures of his favorite gadgets.
The photo was taken successfully, and he even pouted and kissed his daddy’s handsome face.
After taking a few pictures of the gadgets, the high-level spiritual beast that Shisan Niang mentioned appeared.
The high-level spirit beast was locked in a cage, with a lot of blood on its body, and it didn't look in good condition.
Wu Ye was ready to bid, but the reserve price called out by the man in black robe made his eyebrows jump.
With three high-level spirit beasts and people bidding up the price on the spot, it is conceivable that the final price would not be low.
"Can you still take a picture of it?" Qing Heng asked casually from the side.
Wu Ye said stubbornly: "Of course, just pick carefully and see if there is anything you like, and I will pay you."
Wu Ye said it casually, but the three spirit beasts plus a beautiful little box that his cub had taken a fancy to really cost him a lot.
After taking pictures of the small box, I finally got to the detoxification pill.
Wu Ye didn't even think about it and just bid.
After several rounds of bidding, only an old man was left who was deadlocked with Wu Ye and refused to give in.
The other party kept raising the price, and it seemed that he was determined to win.
Wu Ye counted out all his family assets, and in a deep voice, he made another bid.
The two men kept raising the price, and as they were doing so, a young man next to the old man came over.
The other person stood beside Wu Ye and bowed to him. Then, he said politely, "Sir, there is an old man in my family who needs this detoxification pill. If you can give it to me, I will reward you handsomely."
As the other party spoke, he also whispered a few peerless spiritual weapons and secret manuals, and added a large sum of money as a reward.
Wu Ye listened to the other party's promise and continued to bid with a calm expression.
"I won't give up this detoxification pill."
"Sir, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You—"
"My son has been poisoned."
Wu Ye interrupted him, not wanting to be morally blackmailed: "Do you think it's possible for me to give up my son and fulfill your wish?"
No one can snatch this detoxification pill from him today.
He carried with him all his assets and savings.
He was ready to invest all his savings.
Seeing that the other party was still talking about the crisis of the elderly in his family, Ming Qiao frowned and reached out to pull the young man who was speaking.
"Qiao Qiao wants to take a detoxification pill."
Although Mingqiao is a soft-hearted boy, he will not ignore his own health in order to save others.
His parents, uncle, senior brothers, and brother all care about him very much.
He had to try to live.
"Let me feel Qiao Qiao's pulse for you."
Ming Qiao was reluctant to give up the detoxification pill, but he let the other party feel his pulse.
His pulse is easy to feel.
The young man just touched it casually and was stunned by the result.
How could this cub's body be so weak?
"Qiao Qiao doesn't want to die."
Ming Qiao explained: "So, I can't give you the detoxification pill."
His sick little body could not withstand the poisoning.
After the explanation, the kid pulled his little hand out and continued to watch his daddy raise the price.
The young man pursed his lips and looked at the young cubs. This time, he didn't say anything to ask them to give in to Dan.
I don’t know if the old man who was bidding was not well prepared, but at the end of the bidding, he stopped with a gloomy face.
Wu Ye used up a mountain of high-level spirit stones before he successfully bought the detoxification pill left by Zhong Wan.
He grabbed the detoxification pill and didn't stay for a second.
"Jojo, open your mouth."
Ming Qiao opened his mouth, took a gulp, and swallowed the detoxification pill.
Watching him eat the pill on the spot, the old man opposite became more and more gloomy.
"Okay, we're done."
Wu Ye achieved the purpose of this trip and was in a very happy mood: "We will go home later!"
He was too lazy to stay in this damn place any longer.
Ming Qiao had wanted to go out a long time ago. With sparkling eyes, he asked his father, "How long will it be later?"
"We'll leave after the auction is over."
Wu Ye pinched the kid's face and said in a relaxed tone, "Daddy still has a little bit of savings. I'll buy a little toy for your mother, and then we'll leave."
"good!"
When Ming Qiao heard that he had to take pictures for his mother, he was no longer in a hurry to leave.
He and his father looked at the newly photographed items together, and the father and son began to select them carefully.
Qing Heng looked at them and said, "I don't need it."
"Whether you need it or not is your business. Whether I shoot it or not is my business."
Wu Ye didn't listen to him and insisted on using his last savings to buy a piece of jade.
"This jade can be made into a hair crown. It will look great on you."
Wu Ye got the jade and had already thought about what to do.
After shooting everything that needed to be filmed, Wu Ye became a complete pauper.
He is quite happy to be a pauper.
He felt very happy to spend money on Qingheng and his son.
Three wounded high-level spirit beasts were sent to Shisan Niang.
The family of three left Wuxiang City when it was about to dawn.
Before leaving, they met Granny Meng again at the city gate.
As usual, Granny Meng gave them each a bowl of soup.
Ming Qiao drank until her belly was full, and she raised her hand to wave goodbye to Granny Meng.
Behind Grandma Meng, there was a soul tied with a rope. The soul was burning with flames all over, and it was obviously being burned all the time.
Wu Ye knew that even if it were burned all the time, it would not relieve the hatred in Meng Po's heart.
This evil spirit named Chunsheng tricked one of his brides into marrying him into a wedding ceremony for him, and one of them was the daughter of Granny Meng.
The burned soul seemed to be begging for mercy in pain.
Wu Ye didn't care. He kissed his son's little face and asked him, "Qiao Qiao, what do you want to do most when you go out?"
"I want to find my brother!"
The author has something to say:
Baby: Let’s go!
