Chapter 436: Ridiculous Situation (1/2)
Li Jiaying stopped crying upon seeing Tang Shaoyang's face. The little girl was attracted by his peculiar eyes. Even though this was their first meeting, the girl did not cry being carried by Tang Shaoyang.
The little girl kept staring at his eyes while her mother followed from the side. She slightly limped as she followed his pace. But Tang Shaoyang did not slow down his pace. Through his senses, he could feel another group of dogs was coming.
He led the mother and daughter to the second floor and looked for an unlocked door. They entered a random apartment and he closed the door. As he closed the door, his hand stayed longer on the doorknob. Through the [Mana Manipulation], he covered the whole apartment with his mana, erasing the odor of the mother and daughter.
Inside the apartment was a mess, but still, a much better place to rest. Jiaying was still staring at his eyes, her round eyes opened big, curious but afraid to ask.
Tang Shaoyang smiled and took out a bottle of water from his inventory. The mother and the daughter must be thirsty after the long run. He gave the bottle to the little girl after he opened the bottle, ”Stop staring at this uncle's handsome face, you must be thirsty.”
Jiaying's eyes widened even wider as the bottle suddenly appeared in Tang Shaoyang's eyes. She kept looking at the bottle then looking at him, back and forth.
From her expression, Tang Shaoyang could tell that the little girl was so curious, wanting to ask but she was unfamiliar with him, ”Drink first, Uncle will teach you the magic trick later.”
The little girl did not immediately take the bottle. Instead, she looked toward her mother. Only when her mother nodded at her did the little girl take the bottle.
It surprised Tang Shaoyang. He was pretty sure the little girl was very thirsty. He could tell that from her dried and almost cracked lips. But the girl was not careless about taking things from strangers. Her mother must have taught her pretty well.
Not only was she smart, but also sensible. After two gulps of water, she stopped drinking the water. Yes, she stopped drinking and gave the bottle to her mother, ”You should also drink too, Mom. You run very quickly from the monster while carrying me, you must be thirsty.”
”It's okay, you should drink more. Uncle still has more water. You don't need to worry about water anymore,” To prove his words, he took out another bottle of water. Yes, his inventory was filled with such stuff. Snacks, food, and also meat.
Tang Shaoyang handed the bottle to the mother, ”Take this, or else your daughter will not drink.”
Li Shuang looked at the bottle in his hand before she looked at her daughter. There was no need to think further as she took the bottle, She drank the water greedily.
Despite the thirst, both mother and daughter only drank one-fourth of the water. After the water, Tang Shaoyang took out two pieces of bread. It was soft bread made by Elin. He had a lot of those bread in his inventory.
Jiaying and Li Shuang stared at the bread. They were no longer surprised by his trick. From their expression, he could tell that the mother and daughter were starved.
Tang Shaoyang did not immediately give the bread to Jiaying. He carried the girl to the sink, ”You should wash your hands first or you will get sick.”
