When the old man came out again, he was holding an earthen jar in his hand. This earthen jar was much bigger than the previous purple clay teapot. He carefully placed the earthen jar on the stone table, took out a few small bowls, filled them one by one, and placed them in front of the animals.
After drinking the ginger tea, the animals weren't cold anymore. They were much quieter, as if they knew that they were in a strange place and couldn't mess around. They were all unusually obedient, which made Kachi very happy.
The old man stroked his beard, his expression still kind."Me, my name is Huang Qishan, I'm just an idle person, you can just call me Uncle Qishan.”
"Alright, Uncle Qi Shan."
"Han Mo, you won't leave again after coming back, right?”
"Mm, I'm not leaving. I'll be taking over as the family head next week.”
"To shoulder such a heavy responsibility at such a young age, girl, it must not be easy for you!”Uncle Qi Shan's gaze was somewhat complicated.
"This is a responsibility that I have to bear. I can't escape, and I don't want to.”The girl's eyes were surprisingly calm, as if she didn't care at all.
Count Qi Shan sighed lightly and changed the topic,""Girl, it's been a long time since you saw your parents, right? They were very happy to know that you were coming back soon. They were just short of violating the agreement and going back early. They must be very happy that you came here to find them.”
"Is that so?" The young girl's eyes involuntarily lit up with a very bright light, and there was a hint of hope and inferiority in the depths of her eyes.
"Of course. I'm already so old. What reason do I have to lie to a little girl like you?”
Right at this moment, two air-piercing sounds were heard, and a young man and woman appeared in front of everyone.
The man and woman looked to be in their thirties. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. When they saw the girl, they pounced straight at her. The girl's tears fell when she called out "Momo".
The two people in front of him hadn't changed much compared to ten years ago. They were just a little more mature. The things in their eyes had gradually settled down. The elegance and good manners that emanated from their bones made it difficult for people not to have a good impression of them.
These two were the girl's parents.
" Dad, Mom…" The girl who hadn't cried for a long time sounded a little hoarse, and the tears in her eyes seemed like they would fall out at any moment.
The woman tightened her grip on the girl's arm and said in a choked voice,"" Momo, my little princess, I finally see you again. It must be tough in the West. You didn't have much meat to begin with, and now you're even thinner. Mommy's heart aches when she sees you…"
"Mom, it's okay. I won't leave you guys again. Don't cry.”The young girl said this, but she was crying like a child in the woman's arms.
The man stretched out his arms and gently wrapped them around the two women he loved the most in his life, as if he was hugging a lost treasure.
After a while, the girl rubbed her red eyes and raised her head from the woman's arms. She took out a small package from her bosom and unwrapped it layer by layer. She took out an exquisite and expensive wooden box and carefully opened it. Inside was the white jade bracelet that she had planned to give to the woman.
She handed the white jade bracelet to the woman, bit her lip, and said nervously,""Mom, I picked this randomly. I don't know if you like it.”
The woman took it happily and hurriedly put it on her wrist without looking carefully. The corners of her mouth curled up into a beautiful arc."Of course I like it when Momo gives it to me. Thank you, Momo. It looks good and suits me.”
"As long as Mommy likes it." The young girl heaved a sigh of relief. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She took out a blue and white porcelain tea set and carefully handed it to the man.
"Yes, I have a good memory." She had spent ten years thinking about the few times she had spent with her parents. Naturally, she would not forget her parents 'preferences.
"By the way, Dad, have you finished sparring with that uncle?”
"Yes, it's rare for you to come to Taihang Mountain. Let's play for two days before going back. I haven't seen you for ten years, and my Momo has already grown into a big girl. When we go back, I'll bring you to meet my old friends. Their boys are all very outstanding. I'll help you propose marriage to whoever Momo likes.”the man said with a beaming face.
"There's no need, Dad. I already have someone I like.”The young girl stole a glance at Ye Lin, and her eyes quickly dimmed.
The woman looked at her child and instantly understood something. She nudged the man lightly with her arm, signaling him to shut up. With a smile on her lips, she looked at Ye Lin and the others who had been ignored."Momo, are these your friends? Aren't you going to introduce us?"
" Dad, Mom, they are my friends. I met them in the West." The girl forced a smile. The man in the black leather jacket was Ye Lin, a professional mercenary. The petite elf beside him was Kaqi, Ye Lin's lover. These spiritual beasts were all Kaqi's spiritual pets.”
"Friends," Kaji corrected in a low voice.”
The animals didn't really care and did what they were supposed to do.
Ye Lin smiled politely at them.”
Kaqi also greeted Ye Lin politely,""Hello, Mrs. Li. Hello, Mr. Li."
The woman smiled and nodded at them.""Thank you for accompanying my Momo here to find us. Are you tired? There are quite a few spirit beasts in Taihang Mountain that the Huang family raised to eat. They are raised here to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are livelier than those raised at home, and their meat is more delicious. Come, I'll take you to get some for lunch.”
Just like that, the group arrived at a dense forest in the depths of Taihang Mountain. A wild rabbit jumped past everyone's eyes and looked at them curiously before quickly running away.
On the hillside, two bison were leisurely gnawing on the grass, a few deer were drinking water by the stream, a pheasant was flapping its wings to peck at a worm in the crack of the stone, a python was staring at a nest of bird eggs on a tree not far away, its eyes flashing with greed and evil light, and a few wild geese flew across the sky in a herringbone formation.
This place was considered peaceful.
Ye Lin remembered that Kaqi did not like to kill, and he also thought that the girl's mother would not be willing to go back after hunting two wild geese, so he secretly planned to hunt some prey and leave first.
He casually broke a branch and threw it into the sky. The next moment, a wild goose fell from the sky with a cry. Everyone looked carefully and saw that the branch had pierced through the heart and lungs of the wild goose. The wild goose was already dead.
Ye Lin picked up the wild goose and used two slender fingers to pick up a flying knife to quickly finish off a wild ox. He touched his interspatial ring and put the prey away. He pulled Kaqi's hand and bowed to the woman before leaving,""Senior, we'll go back first. My wife is afraid of blood, so this is enough for us to eat.”
The woman looked at Kaqi. Seeing his pale face and pale lips, she waved her hand and said,"Alright then, you guys go back first and let Qi Shan arrange a place for you to stay.”
"Okay, goodbye, senior. Have fun, don't worry about us.”
Ye Lin looked at Kaqi's pale face and felt his heart ache. He carefully held Kaqi in his arms and let him lean against his chest. Step by step, they walked out of the dense forest.
When they left the forest, the smell of blood gradually dissipated. Only then did Kaqi's face regain some color.
Don't scold me first. Believe me, Kaji won't continue to be like this. Give her some time to change!
