Xiao Budian and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse tilted their heads as they looked at each other, seemingly extremely curious.
The toddler also seemed to have smelled the fragrance that drifted out from the cave as he gulped down saliva. He looked pitifully at Tang Huan and then at the wolf leg in his hand that was roasted golden.
”Come here.”
The young child's eyes, which were mixed with desire and fear, made Tang Huan's heartstrings twitch uncontrollably. He subconsciously revealed a kind smile, waved at the young child outside the cave, and then waved the fragrant wolf leg in his hand. Perhaps it was because of the death of his little sister in his previous life, but Tang Huan did not have much resistance towards a child like this. Since he had met her, it was impossible for him to ignore her.
Due to the temptation of the food and the urge of hunger, the child finally began to stagger forward. However, his eyes still showed caution and wariness. His situation was not right, and he immediately slipped away.
His appearance was somewhat comical.
Since a young child who had just learned his language had been discovered, if someone truly wanted to harm him, what was the use of him being on guard? However, not only did Tang Huan not laugh, he felt even more pity. This little fellow had probably lived alone in the forest for quite some time and also encountered many dangers before it finally became like this.
After entering the cave, the child's footsteps uncontrollably sped up, only slowing down when he was close to Tang Huan.
Tang Huan tore a small piece of meat from the wolf leg and handed it over.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the meat, he suddenly accelerated, snatched the meat, and ran out of the cave. He accidentally somersaulted, but got up and continued to run until he was out of the cave, observing the situation inside while wolfing down his food. Not long later, the child had finished eating and looked towards Tang Huan again.
Tang Huan felt a little sour in his nose. With his strength, he could easily catch the child and fill him up in one go. However, in the end, Tang Huan did not choose to do so. He only lured him in again and again with the meat strips, so that he could gradually let his guard down.
After nearly fifteen minutes, the child finally had complete trust in Tang Huan, and entered the cave, sitting down beside him. Another fifteen minutes later, the child with a round belly, wrapped up in Tang Huan's clothes, fell into a deep sleep beside the bonfire.
Xiao Budian and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse were squatting beside the baby.
The Rainbow Spirit Mouse was still alright, it followed beside Mu Yan. It seemed that Xiao Budian had seen many of these children, but he had totally become a country bumpkin, rolling his eyes and sizing up the entire place. This sudden appearance of a child, had obviously made it feel a sense of novelty.
”Father!”
In his sleep, the toddler smacked his small mouth and let out a baby-voice and a muffled cry. ”Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …”
Hearing this word, Tang Huan was stunned, then laughed: ”Looks like my luck today wasn't that bad. First I had a strong follower, then I picked up such a cute daughter.” He had already discovered that the child was a girl, not a boy.
”Humph!”
Mu Yan snorted coldly, then closed his eyes.
Tang Huan also did not mind, he only laughed, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at the little girl who was sleeping soundly. After a long while, Xiao Budian also opened his stomach, sprawled out next to the bonfire, and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse was curled up into a ball, lying on its stomach.
The cave quieted down completely, and the only sound that could be heard was the crackling of the sparks.
After a long while, the sleeping girl rolled over, her eyes quietly opening a small crack, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over the wooden chest beside Mu Yan, a crafty look in her black eyes.
