C45 (1/2)

The crying quickly attracted the attention of the passing soldiers, including Xiao Qian, who had just returned from his investigation.

”Little sister, be good. Don't cry, don't cry. Big brother will whooshed for you, whooshing won't hurt.”

The little girl sat on the slippery ground, crying her heart out. She spread out her little hands as she muttered, ”Daddy ~ Daddy ~ ~”

A Jin lovingly held onto the small bean bun. Seeing her palm was broken, blood had already seeped out from the torn part of her hand.

He had failed to protect his sister, and he was extremely remorseful and heartbroken. His eyes were also red, and he was on the verge of tears.

Xiao Qian hurried over after smelling the crying. Seeing the two children hugging each other, one of them was crying and the other was trying to coax him. However, he was still crying and looked pitiful.

His heart ached and he quickly ran over to pick up the two children.

”What's going on? Why are you crying like this? ”

A Jin lowered her head sadly, wiping away her tears without making a sound.

The soldiers nearby quickly explained, ”It's nothing much. He tripped while walking. How can there be any less tripping and stumbling for a bit? He'll be fine after crying for a while.”

Xiao Qian pulled on Dou Bao's hand. Seeing that his palm was already covered in blood, he wordlessly picked up the child and headed back to his tent.

”Send the doctor over to show the child.”

The people below quickly called the doctor over to take a look.

As the soldier had said, it was not a big deal to begin with. Even if the skin was broken, it would still be fine after a few days without rubbing the ointment.

However, Xiao Qian was unwilling. He had to take out some Golden Sore Medicine and rub it onto the child's wounds. He had to carefully examine the wound to make sure there were no other injuries before he could be at ease.

When Su Zhi came out to find the children, she learned that the two of them had slipped and been taken to Xiao Qian's tent. She also heard that they had hired a doctor, so she hurried over.

”A Jin, little bean bun!”

Hearing the call, A Jin quickly replied, ”Mom, we are here.”

Su Zhi opened the tent and walked in. When she saw the little bun nestling in Xiao Qian's arms, she hummed like a spoiled child. A Jin was sitting beside her, teasing her sister.

Upon seeing her enter, the small bean bun pouted in grievance. It groaned twice and was about to cry again.

”How are you still injured? Come and let mother see.”

Su Zhi's heart ached as she reached out to hug her.

Just as she reached out her hand, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly retracted it. Her two hands tightly held onto Xiao Qian's clothes, unwilling to let go.

Su: ”…”

Xiao Qian gently coaxed the child in his arms, so much so that even his voice softened. ”It's fine, it's fine if I hug you.”

”Sorry for troubling you, General. This child still doesn't understand, so I've troubled you.”

”There's no need to worry. There are very few children who are so close to me.”

Su Zhi smiled with a guilty conscience and pretended to be serious. ”I'll see how mischievous you'll be in the future. You'll only know after you've suffered a loss.”

Dou Zi pouted in grievance as she rubbed Xiao Qian's clothes back and forth.

”I'm coming back with mom. The general is going to rest.”

A Jin quickly stood up and was about to pull away the Soybean Pancake.

However, the child refused to comply and stubbornly refused to let go of Xiao Qian.

”Little sister be good, follow mother back.”

The little girl shook her head in a spoiled manner, ”Daddy!”

Su Zhi became more and more embarrassed. She pretended to be angry and said, ”Little Bean doesn't want his mother anymore?”

She was about to leave when Dou Bao quickly reached out to grab her. She muttered, ”How about it?”

Su Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at her. She felt both heartache and helplessness.

A Jin whispered into her ear, ”I'll come see you tomorrow.”

Only then did the little girl let go and obediently let Su Zhi carry her away.

Xiao Qian stood up to send them off. As he watched the family of three leave, his heart felt warm.

The weather improved considerably after the return journey, and even the rainbows were seen in the rainy sky.

Six or seven days later, Xuan City finally arrived.

On the day they arrived at Xuan City, Xiao Gan came to see Su Zhi in person, saying his goodbyes.

”I wonder when I will be able to see you again. Honored Warriors, please take care.”
