Chapter 24: Hurry And Hold Me
Today, we don’t have to eat at the military camp.
The fluffy white cub, all dressed up, smelled the delicious aroma as soon as she came out of the room.
The food here leans towards pasta, so the table has baozi and flatbread, and even a small bowl of fragrant noodles.
She sat at the table herself. The baozi were very small and delicate, with thin skin and abundant filling.
There were meat-filled ones and vegetable-filled ones.
The meat used here was lamb, and the cook processed it so well that there was no mutton smell at all.
The filling for the vegetables was cabbage.
The flatbread was scallion oil flatbread, with an egg nestled in the dough.
Considering she was a child, there were only two small baozi, one flatbread, and a small bowl of noodles on the table.
She tasted them all and her little belly was a bit full; there was still more than half of the flatbread left uneaten.
Not having finished, she subconsciously looked for Daddy.
Daddy wasn’t there.
She pouted and put down the flatbread.
“Sister Lu He, have you eaten yet?”
As Lu He was cleaning her hands, Qin Wanwan remembered the three servants she had just bought.
“Your servants have not yet had breakfast.”
“Then hurry and eat, and ask the cook to make more. Eat your fill.”
“Thank you, Miss. Please just call me Lu He. I dare not accept the title of ‘sister’.”
“Okay.”
After telling the servants to go eat, Qin Wanwan was reminded by Keke that she still had the seeds she exchanged from the mall.
Forage grass seeds and wheat seeds. Because she needed to fill the genetic defects of the wheat, she had kept these seeds by her bed.
When she returned yesterday, she had asked Daddy to bring the seeds back as well.
“The front and back yards have been tidied up. Wanwan, find someone to help turn the soil and sprinkle the seeds.”
Qin Wanwan said “Okay” and happily ran back to her room.
But after less than two minutes, she ran out again, dejected.
The Qilin cub didn’t have much strength and couldn’t carry the two bags of seeds, which weighed thirty jin combined.
But the cub was smart; she called for help.
She ran out the door and saw a young man squatting by the doorway, expressionlessly eating flatbread with big bites.
The young man was much cleaner than he was yesterday, except… his hair had been shaved off.
He had stayed in the dirty and chaotic environment of the slave trader for too long; he looked almost like a beggar.
His hair was messy and tangled, not to mention he had fleas. Xie Chong had directly shaved it all off.
He was thin, but his frame was large, and he ate with a fierce intensity.
The moment Qin Wanwan came out, the young man looked over and then stood up to look at her.
Qin Wanwan: “What’s your name?”
The young man opened his mouth, unable to speak.
Qin Wanwan looked confused.
He seemed a bit anxious, making hoarse “ah ah ah” sounds and gesturing with his hands.
Keke flew over: “Wanwan, this young man is mute and cannot speak.”
The young man glanced at the talking bird, his eyes filled with envy, then dimmed, and then he stared anxiously at Qin Wanwan, like a pitiful big dog waiting for fate to decide.
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan directly took his hand and walked towards the fifth room.
“Help me carry things. It’s too heavy for Wanwan to carry alone.”
Seeing that his master didn’t dislike him and was holding his hand, the young man became so excited that his blue eyes shone even brighter.
Carrying the seeds, he followed wherever Wanwan went.
He did whatever he was told.
Qin Wanwan wanted to sow the seeds, but there were no digging tools at home.
When in doubt, ask Daddy.
Taking the silent but closely following young man, Qin Wanwan headed towards the military camp.
Shahe City was truly desolate; she didn’t see any shops selling things.
The military camp was not too far from the General’s Mansion; it was on the outskirts of the city.
But even the Lord would take about half an hour, which is about an hour.
Qin Wanwan’s short legs were even slower.
She walked for half an hour and didn’t want to move anymore; the weather was hot.
Qin Wanwan was hot and sweaty, and uncomfortable.
So, her small eyes fixed on the young man next to her.
After walking for so long, the young man surprisingly didn’t have any sweat on him.
“Are you tired?”
The soft, white milk ball raised her little face to look at him.
Her tender little face couldn’t hide her emotions at all; “Hold me quickly” was written all over her face.
The young man squatted down without any hesitation.
Qin Wanwan looked at his thin, almost meatless body and felt a little guilty. She awkwardly leaned towards him.
“You wanted to carry me yourself, okay? Wanwan didn’t bully you. I’m not a bad child.”
Being carried by the young man, Qin Wanwan dangled her little feet and seriously explained herself.
Her voice was soft and sweet, as if she were acting spoiled.
The young man nodded.
Qin Wanwan took out a candy from her snack bag and gave it to him.
“Here’s some candy. If you’re tired, tell me, and I’ll get down and walk again.”
It could be said that she was very considerate, so considerate that it softened the heart.
“What’s your name?”
The young man shook his head; he had no name.
“Then, shall I call you Wolf Fang? Daddy said you’re from the Wolf Tribe, and wolf fangs are super powerful.”
The young man’s eyes lit up, and he nodded.
He had a name now, Wolf Fang. He liked that word.
Once the floodgates opened, Qin Wanwan’s little mouth couldn’t stop talking.
“I need to find Daddy. I need to farm. Keke said farming requires a hoe, and we don’t have one at home, so I need to find Daddy…”
She wasn’t bored; even though the young man couldn’t speak, there was Keke the parrot.
It might be able to chat.
Upon reaching the entrance of the military camp, Qin Wanwan entered directly by showing her face.
“Where is my Daddy? Uncle, where is my Daddy?”
After looking around inside and not finding her father, she grabbed a patrolling soldier and asked.
“The General is in the main tent discussing important matters.”
After thanking him, Qin Wanwan took Wolf Fang and ran towards the main tent.
However, she didn’t go inside. Instead, she stared at the two guards at the entrance for a moment, then squatted down by herself, resting her chin on her small hands, and waited.
She was a good girl and wouldn’t disturb Daddy at work.
Wolf Fang stood beside her.
The two guards: ………
Should they go in and announce her presence or not?
When Xie Chong and his capable subordinates finished their discussion and came out, the short and stout Qin Wanwan’s big eyes immediately rolled around, looking for her father.
“Oh, when did Wanwan arrive?”
Everyone present knew Qin Wanwan, and they had a good relationship.
Qin Wanwan was also sweet-talked, her voice soft and sticky as she called out to each of them: “Uncle Lin, Uncle Wang, Uncle Li…”
A group of rough men’s hearts bloomed with joy. Before the General came out, they picked up the little girl.
“You get up, I’ll hold her. You smell like sweat.”
“You think you’re any better? Get lost.”
Qin Wanwan’s little face wrinkled. She didn’t refuse to be held, but… why were they always fighting over her?
Moreover, these rough men rarely bathed, their bodies smelling of sweat, and when they gathered together, the smell was even stronger.
Qin Wanwan wrinkled her little nose: she was a bit disdainful.
“Daddy!”
Seeing her biological father come out, Qin Wanwan’s eyes lit up immediately, and she eagerly extended her chubby little arms for him to hold.
Compared to these people, Daddy smelled clean and fresh. She liked it~
Xie Chong cast a glance, and the big man holding Qin Wanwan smacked his lips and regretfully handed the fragrant, soft white cub over.
He hadn’t held her enough yet.
