The man named Zhang Ji didn't go any further, but turned and walked towards the other person:
"Sigh, let's just forget about it and say he's dead. How can a three-year-old survive here?"
The sound faded into the distance, but Xiao Shenbai remained crouched in place, hugging himself tightly, too afraid to come out.
As darkness fell, he looked out from the bushes.
There are more monsters now.
"Little White, Little White, don't be afraid, Little White is very strong."
He dared not move, burying his face in his knees again, his small body trembling slightly.
[Where are you, handsome?]
Whether from hunger or exhaustion, Xiao Shenbai fell asleep again.
The sun rises.
Xiao Shenbai looked around, saw no monster, then picked up the leftover wild grass from the ground and continued eating.
Feeling that he had regained some strength, he continued walking forward.
The trees grew more and more lush, and Xiao Shenbai saw many animals, but none of them were his older brother. He wanted to find his older brother.
But Xiaobai can't speak, so he can only search quietly.
Xiao Bai felt like he had been walking for a very long time. His vision began to blur, and he didn't know why.
He felt like he was rolling on the ground, and his body was in a lot of pain from being hit.
...
Surrounded by the calls of unknown birds, Xiao Shenbai slowly opened his eyes and instinctively wanted to call out to his brother.
A shadow drifted by, and the ugly monster suddenly rushed in front of him.
Xiao Shenbai was so frightened that he trembled all over. He tried to stand up, but the pain in his body prevented him from moving.
He tried to move backward using his little hands, but the monster kept getting closer.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and the monster was violently knocked away.
Xiao Shenbai struggled to his feet, ignoring the pain in his body, and ran backward as fast as he could.
But he was small, and he started to fall after walking a short distance. He got up and continued running until he lost consciousness again.
Before losing consciousness, he saw a nine-tailed fox that was entirely white.

[Young, young grandmaster?]
In the quiet ward, Shen Bai's fingers twitched.
Song Yun, who was guarding the bedside, immediately heard the child's inner thoughts. He gently held Shen Bai's hand, as if he were holding a fragile piece of porcelain.
"Baby, you're awake? Baby, please open your eyes and look at me, okay? No, don't sleep."
His voice was choked with emotion, as if he were afraid the child would suddenly disappear.
[Brother, brother...]
Shen Bai's eyes were not yet open, but tears were already streaming down his face.
Song Yun felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he almost couldn't breathe. He pressed his face against the child's pale face.
He spoke softly, "Brother is here, Little White, don't be afraid. Brother has always been here. Open your eyes and look at me."
[Brother... is this a little brother this time?]
Shen Bai was terrified and subconsciously didn't want to open his eyes, afraid that there were monsters around him again.
But upon hearing Song Yun's coaxing voice, he slowly opened his eyes.
Song Yun's somewhat haggard face appeared before him, and Shen Bai still recognized him; this was his older brother.
"elder brother."
Shen Bai's small mouth opened slightly, emitting a soft but somewhat hoarse voice, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time, and her pronunciation of those two words was particularly non-standard.
But Song Yun still heard it clearly. His eyes were red, and he reached out to wipe away Shen Bai's tears.
"Brother's here, don't be afraid, little white one."
Shen Bai wanted to raise his hand for a hug, but there was an IV drip in the back of his hand, so he pouted in grievance.
Why do I need a shot? Little Bai doesn't feel pain anymore.
He doesn't feel any pain at all. That giant squid is wicked; it gave him another injection.
Following his gaze, Song Yun quickly pressed the button on the bedside table.
Soon, a nurse and a doctor walked in through the door.
The nurse removed the needle from Shen Bai's hand, and the doctor examined Shen Bai's body again.
“Mr. Song, Young Master Bai is much better now. He is weak and not like ordinary people, so we still need to take care of him.”
Song Yun nodded and let them leave.
Shen Bai was unconscious for three whole days, and Song Yun barely closed his eyes.
But last night, he drifted off to sleep holding Shen Bai's hand.
In his dream, he saw a pitiful child curled up on the ground.
The child was covered in wounds, and there was a monster in front of him trying to bite him. Song Yun really wanted to hug the child.
He heard the child call him "brother" and ask him for a hug...
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the child into his arms.
Song Yun could only watch in despair as the child got up and fell down again and again.
"Baby, Xiaobai, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well... I'm so sorry."
Song Yun held Shen Bai in his arms, his originally deep voice choked with emotion, almost unable to speak.
Shen Bai buried her face in his chest and quietly wiped her tears on his clothes.
"Then I'll punish you by getting your clothes dirty."
Song Yun was almost amused by the little guy's actions. He held Shen Bai in his arms the whole time, letting him do whatever he wanted.
They even think that children are too easy to coax, so why can't they have a little temper?
He raised his hand, brushed Shen Bai's long, loose hair behind his back, and then took out a rubber band from his pocket to tie the hair behind his back.
She lowered her head and gently kissed Shen Bai's smooth forehead, letting him lean against her chest.
Assistant Xu walked in carrying a food box.
Seeing that Shen Bai had woken up, a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Song, this is food that I just brought from the Song residence."
Song Yun nodded and asked him to bring it to the table.
Song Yun placed Shen Bai on the bed, leaning him against the pillows behind him, and then personally fed him porridge.
Remembering the dream where the little guy was so hungry he ate wild grass, his heart began to ache again, as if a knife had been plunged into his chest.
Watching Shen Bai obediently eat his porridge, Song Yun felt a little uneasy.
Did the events in the dream actually happen, or were they just a dream?
He hoped it was just a dream of his own, but the child's disappearance back then...
Song Yun dared not think any further.
The giant squid seems very sad. Why is it sad?
Shen Bai blinked and looked at the congee in front of him.
He remembered that the giant squid had gone bankrupt, which made him very sad.
Shen Bai took another bite of porridge, then, as if remembering something, he silently cheered himself on.
Since he's the older brother, Xiaobai will try to earn money to support him.
My brother is a good person; he will protect me.
That's how it was in Shen Bai's dream. Even after the little brother disappeared, Shen Bai still liked him very much.
He opened his mouth again and ate the porridge that Song Yun fed him.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Chen Bai finally felt a bit of strength back in his body.
Shen Bai reached out to Song Yun again, wanting a hug from Xiao Bai.
Song Yun put down the bowl, then hugged Shen Bai in his arms and covered his back with his suit jacket.
"Baby, take a nap if you're tired. We'll go out and get some sun later."
