So fast? Ye Shuang frowned. She wasn't sure if the beast on the mountain was just an ordinary beast. It was impossible for an ordinary mortal to be filled with resentment after death unless it was a spirit beast like Bai Xue that had gained intelligence. Otherwise, if a beast were to tear an ordinary mortal apart, their soul would have already scattered in all directions when they died.
But there was no room for her, a child, to interfere in this matter. All she could do now was stay obediently in Li's arms, watching Li Mantian approach and then take them home together.
Upon entering the house, Li Shi didn't say a word and went straight into the room to help Li Mantian pack his things. Li Mantian took Ye Shuang from Li Shi's hands, looking at her round eyes, his heart softened: "Oh, our Shuang'er is so good. Daddy is going hunting in the mountains. Does Shuang'er want a rabbit? Daddy will catch one for you to play with, okay?"
Ye Shuang said earnestly, "Shuang'er doesn't want any rabbits, she just wants her father to come back safely."
Li Mantian's heart was burning with warmth at her words. He gently patted her head and said, "Shuang'er is so sensible. But, Shuang'er, don't you trust Daddy? Daddy is amazing! Not only can he come back safely, but he can also bring back delicious wild game for Shuang'er! Shuang'er, when Daddy isn't here, you have to get along well with your brother, okay? You have to protect Mommy together with your brother, okay?"
Ye Shuang nodded heavily, even patting her chest to assure him, "Father, don't worry, I won't quarrel with my brother."
Li Mantian kissed Ye Shuang's little face, then handed her over to Li Wenyi with satisfaction, took the bundle that Li Shi had packed for him, and walked out.
Li Wenyi carried Ye Shuang for a couple of steps and couldn't help but say, "Dad, why don't I come along too?"
Li Mantian turned to look at him, frowned, and lowered his voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? What good will it do you to come along? Alright, the number of people going up the mountain this time is not less than yours. Just stay at home and take good care of your mother and sister. That will be enough for me."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenyi knew that he definitely couldn't leave, so he could only nod helplessly and agree: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mother and my sister."
The family watched Li Mantian walk further and further away until they could no longer see his back before returning to their courtyard.
Li wiped her eyes and was just about to tidy up the yard when she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! Where did Bai Xue go?"
Li Wenyi placed Ye Shuang on a recliner in the courtyard and searched the house and surrounding area with Li Shi, but they couldn't find the white figure. "Damn it, could it have run out while we weren't looking?"
Ye Shuang nodded seriously: "Yes, I just saw it. Bai Xue was chasing after Daddy."
Li Wenyi pinched Ye Shuang's little face, squatted down to look her in the eye, and said, "Why didn't you say so just now? Now look what happened! Bai Xue ran away, and you won't have a puppy to play with anymore."
Ye Shuang rubbed her slightly sore cheeks and retorted with teary eyes, "Brother is talking nonsense! Bai Xue went to protect Daddy, and she will definitely come back with Daddy in the end! You're so mean, brother!"
Hearing Ye Shuang's aggrieved voice, Madam Li hurriedly came out of the house and slapped Li Wenyi hard across the back, knocking him so hard that he couldn't even squat properly and ended up kneeling in front of Ye Shuang.
"What nonsense are you talking about with your sister?" Madam Li picked up Ye Shuang, gently patted her back, and coaxed her gently with a completely different force and voice, "Really? Bai Xue went to protect Daddy? Bai Xue is so sensible. When Daddy comes back, Bai Xue will definitely come back with him."
Li Wenyi: Today is another day of doubting whether I am his biological child.
