Chapter 622 Little Girl’s Presen (2/2)

Sophie smiled while waving her hand. ”That's not necessary, darling. Let's just find a time to get together with them. However, the kidnapping incident must be kept a secret.”

It was November by the time they were back at camp. They were finally away from the scorching heat as the weather in Flagstaff was cooling.

Arizona was about to enter the best time of the year: the warm winter season.

During this time, many Northerners came here for a vacation. Arizona's summer, as well as the winter of states such as Maine, Utah, and Montana, were a living hell for America.

On the morning of the second day back at camp, a small bicycle rode in.

Ah Ow, who was thriving, was on alert and shook her ears twice before crying out, ”Awoo! Woo!” at the door.

The cries were loud and clear. Although it sounded a little childish, it was already in the early stages of showing the might of a wolf.

Li Du curiously turned his head to take a look. There was a young girl with black hair and blue eyes on a bicycle.

Hans waved. ”Hey Victoria, what brings you here? Are you lost?”

The little girl was indeed Victoria, a girl from Mesa's welfare home.

She was very introverted. Even though she was well acquainted with Hans, she still felt a little shy after he stared at her and asked the question. She just looked at them timidly without answering.

When the scouts had sold cookies, she and Li Du had become acquainted with each other while selling cookies together. Li Du walked over in a friendly manner and said, ”Wonder Woman, what brings you here?”

After seeing him, Victoria loosened up and whispered, ”I rode a bicycle over.”

”Huh?” Li Du respond.

Victoria blankly stared at Li Du. ”Didn't you ask me what brought me here? I rode a bicycle over.”

The corner of Li Du's mouth twitched. The little girl was still just as clueless. When he was about to repeat his question, a treasure hunter playing in the camp said, ”Hey Li, is that your daughter? She's been looking for you.”

”Li, is it possible that you're thinking of abandoning your family? That's too irresponsible.”

”This child is so adorable, how could you possibly abandon her?”

The treasure hunters were joking in a friendly manner. However, Victoria did not know that it was a joke, so she was at a loss and stood next to her bicycle, timidly watching them.

Li Du waved his fist at the treasure hunters and said, ”Don't frighten the child. Anyhow, were you looking for me recently, Victoria?”

Victoria nodded and whispered, ”Yes, I want to give you a present but couldn't find you for the past few days. Please don't chase me away, okay?”

Toward the end of the sentence, the little girl sobbed a little.

”Of course,” Li Du hurriedly said. ”Why would I chase you away? You're very much welcome to play here.”

”That's wonderful,” Victoria said with a small smile. ”I'm here to give you a present. Li, and also Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles, thank you for helping me sell the cookies.”

She turned her head and looked at Li Du's two small companions. Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles apparently remembered her and were both moving around her.

Victoria opened up the small school bag she was carrying and took a vase out from inside. She handled it over to Li Du and said, ”This is a vase carved by me. Would you like it?”

Seeing the vase, Li Du was a little surprised.

The vase, which was most likely carved from an entire tree branch, was around 20 centimeters tall and had a very interesting design. The surface of the belly of the vase retained the coarse bark of the tree while the base and neck of the vase were polished very clean and smooth.
