People who have been lonely for a long time especially want to find something to fill the void.
Just like someone who has been adrift at sea for a long time, longing for someone to lend a hand, seeing a piece of driftwood is like seeing a lifeline, something to be cherished!
Regardless of whether that piece of driftwood belonged to him or not, he just really wanted to have it!
This is exactly how A-Lian felt at that moment. She especially wanted to be recognized, accepted, and tolerated by others, and she also longed for someone to give her warmth and make her no longer lonely!
Especially in the current situation, she is all alone and surrounded by strangers. She can't fit in because everyone is just trying to survive and is more concerned with themselves, rarely paying attention to an outsider!
She was unconsciously ostracized.
It was a perfectly normal thing, but Ah Lian still felt a little uncomfortable.
She couldn't understand why she couldn't get anyone's attention anywhere.
She is smart, capable, hardworking and obedient, what's wrong with her?
Looking at the figure over there, the more I looked, the more something seemed off.
Adolescent feelings stirred within her, and she set her sights on something that didn't belong to her.
Mo Qinghe was incredibly perceptive; he had already noticed two pairs of eyes staring at him from behind. At first, he thought it was his wife and even smiled to himself, but he quickly realized something was wrong.
His wife wouldn't do something so unusual. If she wanted to see him, she would just sit next to him and tilt her head to look at him casually!
There's no need to secretly watch from behind!
That gaze made him extremely uncomfortable, as if he were being stared at by some disgusting snake or insect!
He lowered his eyes and carefully sensed who it was, then roughly determined who it was, and chuckled inwardly.
Xiao Wu was alert and noticed it too. He exchanged a glance with Mo Qinghe, and the two confirmed who it was from each other's eyes.
Xiao Wu felt a surge of anger. Ha, what a piece of trash! He's fallen so low that he still dares to covet things that don't belong to him!
This is utterly absurd!
Those were his master's men. Anyone who dared to cause his master pain or sorrow would face no mercy from his blade!
Want to die? That's easy, isn't it?
He has a hundred ways to die, each one unique. If you want to die, feel free to try them!
He's not a good person at all; don't expect him to be sentimental or righteous!
Xiao Wu beckoned to the wolfhound next to him with his finger. The wolfhound understood, walked over, squatted down, and tilted its head to look at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu leaned close to its ear and whispered, "Go patrol the back and keep a close eye on anyone who's not sleeping!"
The wolfhound understood, and although it didn't know why it was doing this, it obediently did as instructed and turned to patrol the back.
Upon seeing the wolfhound patrolling, the other dogs, thinking something had happened, all stretched their necks, pricked up their ears, and became more alert, paying close attention to their surroundings.
Ah Lian immediately closed her eyes, afraid of being discovered.
After a while, when there was no more noise, I assumed the dog had gone far away. After all, a dog wouldn't wander off unless there was something wrong, so I slowly opened my eyes again.
Just as she was about to look towards the fire, she saw a large wolfhound squatting there, blocking her view of him. The wolfhound grinned, its eyes gleaming in the darkness, staring intently at her!
That's terrifying!
Startled, I immediately closed my eyes again.
Was this dog a coincidence, or was it specifically targeting her?
Patrol is patrol, but she couldn't sleep and didn't get up to make a fuss. She didn't bother anyone else at all, so why keep an eye on her?
You should keep watch at the cave entrance!
Just because she's an outsider, do we have to be wary of her?
That dog is a real scoundrel!
What a jerk!
Do you look down on her?
Ah Lian cursed the dog in her heart. After a while, she slightly opened her eyes, saw that the dog was still there, and then closed her eyes again.
She dared not move, fearing she would be dragged out at any moment. This dog was no good; it might do such a thing!
I don't know what I did to offend it, but it's started targeting her like this!
After repeating this several times, seeing that the dog was still there, A-Lian dared not open her eyes, and didn't even dare to turn over or move!
My body had been stiff for so long that it was starting to feel numb.
No matter how much I curse the dog in my heart, it's useless; there's nothing I can do about it!
Mo Qinghe and Xiao Wu naturally knew. They glanced at it from the side and then immediately turned back. They were right!
The two men's eyes were full of disdain and contempt. Knowing that there were wolves watching, they felt relieved and ignored them.
The wolfhound got along very well with the Mo family and was trained; it's very obedient!
Of course, they only listen to the Mo family; they can't command anyone else.
Not only are they impossible to command, but if you anger them, they will throw a tantrum, and they have a terrible temper!
The two stopped paying attention to Ah Lian and, feeling bored, started eating.
Su Su had prepared food for them, so they could take out whatever they wanted to eat.
The other watchmen were so tired that they fell asleep sitting up with their heads resting on their knees.
Only these two remained awake, leisurely eating and drinking.
"Susu likes roasted sweet potatoes, why don't we roast some so she can eat them when she wakes up!"
As Xiao Wu was eating, he looked at the fire and suddenly thought of sweet potatoes.
Mo Qinghe certainly had no objections; if his wife wanted to eat it, then he would grill it!
Sure enough, his wife had everything ready. There was a bag right at his feet, and he thought his wife had accidentally left it behind. But when he opened it, he realized that wasn't the case!
It's full of sweet potatoes; it's obvious my wife deliberately left them there!
Okay, since his wife has already prepared everything, he'll go ahead and bake it!
The thought of his wife waking up to find sweet potatoes to eat and looking so happy filled him with joy!
