"Dabao, do you see these flowers? You and your younger siblings helped Mom plant them. When Mom is busy, you help Mom water them."
“You guys climb this tree all the time. Look, you've climbed the trunk all bare.”
“That’s the animal park, remember? You studied there too. Because of your accident, Erbao and the others haven’t been there for several days. They’re all very worried about you.”
“Come with your mother to the mountain. You helped your mother dig a trap and caught a whole litter of rabbits. That night, we had a feast of rabbits.”
Shen Miao talked on and on, as if she wanted to cram everything that had happened in the past few years into Da Bao's mind.
Da Bao's face was expressionless, as if he were listening to someone else's story.
Shen Miao was somewhat disappointed, but she quickly cheered up.
We can't be defeated by difficulties so easily. The Gu Master said we must be patient. Yes, we must be patient.
Shen Miao took a deep breath, then forced a gentle smile and continued talking about other things, each of which was related to Da Bao.
Da Bao found it very strange.
How can this female beast have such a good temper? She said so much, and he didn't react at all, so how can she still laugh?
After wandering around for most of the day, Da Bao became a little impatient, so Shen Miao headed back home. On the way back, they encountered many beastmen, who all pointed and whispered about Da Bao with unfriendly eyes.
Shen Miao held the person in her arms and glared back at each of the people who were pointing fingers at Da Bao.
Finally back home, there were strangers present. Jiu Ying was receiving them when the man said in a loud voice, "I don't care about all that. Anyway, your Da Bao hurt my little brat. You should at least compensate him a little."
Just then, Shen Miao and Da Bao walked in. When the man saw Da Bao, he screamed in fright and pointed at Da Bao, saying, "Why didn't you lock him up? Why are you letting him run around like this? He's a madman!"
"Shut up!" Jiuying snapped, turning to look at Dabao.
But Da Bao had already darted back to his room like a rabbit, climbed onto the bed, and covered himself tightly with the animal skin blanket.
Shen Miao followed her in, trying to comfort Da Bao, but Da Bao covered his head and wouldn't listen at all.
Shen Miao had no choice but to deal with the external matters first.
That person has already left.
Jiuying told Shen Miao everything that Da Bao had done before.
After listening, Shen Miao remained silent for a long time.
The anger I felt just now has completely dissipated.
It was Da Bao who provoked them first, so they were in the wrong no matter what. She finally understood why the people on the street were looking at Da Bao so strangely.
They weren't looking at a normal little orc; they were looking at a madman.
The mere thought of that word made Shen Miao feel unbearable.
How could her well-behaved and obedient Da Bao be crazy? How could she be crazy!
"I'll go apologize to them."
Shen Miao went back to her room to get the beast crystals she had saved, and then went out to apologize to those who had been hurt.
If there is any loss, compensate the other party; if there is no loss but the person was frightened, bow and apologize.
But after she apologizes, she always adds, "My eldest son is sick. He didn't mean to hurt you. I hope you won't blame him."
After this, those families who were initially quite resentful stopped pressing the issue and just laughed it off, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, he's just a kid after all, we won't hold it against him."
Thank you.
Time passed slowly yet quickly. Da Bao's condition did not improve; on the contrary, it got worse. He couldn't sleep all night long, and even when he occasionally fell asleep, he would wake up quickly and start crying silently.
Shen Miao didn't dare let Da Bao sleep in the same room as the other children, so she slept with Da Bao herself.
She can wake up as soon as Da Bao moves.
"Da Bao, you're not asleep again?" Shen Miao asked softly.
Da Bao opened his eyes but didn't answer. He just stared at the roof. Shen Miao didn't know what he was thinking, but Da Bao suddenly looked terrified and started trembling.
Shen Miao quickly reached out and gently patted Da Bao's back, coaxing him softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all fake, don't be afraid, Da Bao, Mommy is here, you don't need to be afraid of anything."
The trembling gradually stopped, and Da Bao stared blankly at Shen Miao.
The female beast before him had exquisite features, yet she did not appear fierce; instead, she possessed a gentle radiance, like a goddess from legend.
She exuded a calming power, as if it could counteract the bloody scenes in his memory.
"Why are you looking at your mother like that? Can't you sleep? Let me sing you a song."
Shen Miao cleared her throat, searched her memory for a lullaby, and began to sing it softly. The lullaby's melody was gentle and soothing, making one feel as if they were sleeping in a sweet dream.
Da Bao's eyelids began to droop involuntarily.
Shen Miao sang lullabies for most of the night because Da Bao would wake up if she stopped, so she dared not stop.
The next day, when everyone saw that Shen Miao had huge panda eyes, Qing Chen worried, "You can't go on like this, I'll go ask Lin Shousheng."
Lin Shousheng had been working with the Gu Master to research how to restore Da Bao's memories. When Qing Chen came to his door, he casually remarked, "If you can't sleep, you can light some calming incense."
However, since the incense for calming the soul had to be made by themselves, Shen Miao volunteered to make it herself.
During the day, she made soothing incense, and at night she sang lullabies. Thanks to her efforts, Da Bao's sleep improved, and his thin, gaunt face began to gain weight.
The situation seems to be slowly improving.
But on this day, when Shen Miao went to the back to pick fresh flowers, she heard a sobbing sound.
Curious, she slowed her pace and found the source of the crying. There she saw three little ones sitting under the fence, burying their heads in their hands and crying softly.
Shen Miao thought something had happened to the children, and hurriedly threw down the flowers in her hand, asking, "What's wrong with you? Why are you hiding here crying?"
The children were startled, and looked up at Shen Miao with teary eyes, feeling wronged.
"Mother, will brother be alright? Will he die? Waaah, we don't want brother to die!" Little Sibao, seeing that he had been discovered, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Shen Miao quickly comforted him, "How could brother die? Brother is fine, he's getting better and better. Don't cry, your tears will make brother sad too."
“But my brother is in such a terrible state now, he doesn’t even recognize us anymore,” Sanbao sobbed.
Shen Miao forced a smile: "That's because brother is sick. When brother gets better, he can play with you all. You have to be good and wait for brother to get better, okay?"
The babies were very sad, but they still obediently nodded.
