Tianyang had been very anxious these past two days. He finally realized how difficult it was to be a father, especially without a "mother".
The little girl would sleep after eating, eat after sleeping, and occasionally play for a while. At this time, she was like an angel, with stars twinkling in her big round eyes, and she would laugh heartily when being amused. Her smile was very contagious, and even Su Lie had been smiling more recently.
She would cry when she was hungry, when she peed, when she woke up, and when she was playing. Once she started crying, she couldn't stop crying no matter how she was coaxed. Only when Tianyang held her and walked back and forth would she gradually stop crying, but as soon as Tianyang stopped, she would cry loudly again.
So two days later, when Yueguang saw Tianyang, she found that he looked a little haggard.
"Children are hard to take care of." Yue Guang had an obvious smile on her lips as she looked at the little one who was awake next to her, babbling and crawling on the carpet. Xiao Xiang and his sister were teasing her.
Tian Yang covered his forehead and said, "It's more tiring than fighting in a war. After all, I have participated in a fortress war. Carrying this little thing for two days is more tiring than fighting a fortress war."
"So you should be more grateful to your parents. There are some things that you can't imagine unless you experience them yourself."
Moonlight placed a suitcase on the table. "This is Tu Moshan's reward. It mainly contains high-quality crystals. I distributed it on my own initiative because I think you probably don't have the energy to do this."
"Also, Tu Moshan only paid part of the gold. He said he would pay us the other part after the War God Festival is over. I've brought your share with me, it's outside the car, you can count it yourself later."
Tianyang opened the suitcase and found six star crystals inside. He was surprised and asked, "So many?"
"You were the one who killed the Breeder. We only served as a guide and dispersed the guards. So, this is what you deserve."
Moonlight said, and stood up.
Unexpectedly, Tianyang suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't go!"
Yue Guang was stunned for a moment, and a few blushes gradually appeared on her face: "What are you doing?"
Tianyang said sincerely: "Yueguang, please help me take care of it for two days, otherwise, I will go crazy."
Yue Guang then realized that Tian Yang asked her not to leave so that he could help take care of the children.
He snorted, pulled his hand away and left.
But a moment later, Sun Sun came and said to Tian Yang with a smile: "Our boss said that there is nothing to do next, so let us take the little one over to play for two days."
"Is it a tool?"
Tian Yang immediately packed up the baby girl's things and handed them to Sun Sun: "I'll take her over after they've had enough fun."
"Waiting for you." Sun Sun picked up his bags and left.
It was almost noon when Tianyang brought the little guy to Yueguang's car.
Yue Guang said to the little thing that was curled up in Tian Yang's arms and sucking her fingers, "Have you given her a name?"
Tian Yang said with a look of despair: "I have been exhausted just trying to comfort her these past two days, so how can I have the energy to think of a name?"
"Xitong."
Yue Guang took away the finger that the little thing was sucking in its mouth and said casually.
Tian Yang didn't react for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Name."
Yue Guang took the bottle prepared nearby and put it into the little thing's mouth. Then she held the bottle and started drinking.
"There is a legend that
There is a mythical bird called the Phoenix. Every time it is about to die, it burns itself and is reborn in the flames. This mythical bird usually lands on a phoenix tree.
"She survived in a place surrounded by evil spirits, and meeting you was like getting a chance to be reborn."
"So, I named her 'Tong'."
Moonlight said slowly, "Since Wutong is a tree, it naturally needs water to nourish it, so I gave her the character 'Xiao'."
"Xi means the rising tide at night, and Xitong means the Chinese parasol tree growing by the water. I hope she can grow up fast and be healthy."
Tianyang almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Just staring at the moonlight.
Moonlight glared at him and said, "Why, don't you like it? Then forget it."
"No, no, no, it's good. The meaning is even better."
Tian Yang said quickly, and then used a finger to gently poke the little guy's chubby and pink face: "Did you hear that? From now on, you will be called 'Xitong'. Do you like it?"
The little one who was drinking milk held the bottle, grinned, giggled twice, and then continued to drink the milk.
"She seems to like this name very much." Tianyang looked at Yueguang, who turned his head away to look out the window with a faint smile on his lips.
In the afternoon, the caravan officially set off.
The Breeder had been destroyed, and the nest had collapsed under the attack of the coalition forces. Just as Tu Moshan had expected, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce had become famous this time.
The mayors of several fortresses were very grateful to the Chamber of Commerce for its timely reminder and for eliminating the 'breeder'. In time, as the incident develops, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce will surely become famous.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the Moonlight Hunting Group's magnetic car, Liu Ya and Fusheng were playing with Xitong, while Tianyang was preparing food for the little guy. After bringing Xitong here last time, Tianyang originally planned to go back and rest, but as soon as he left, the little thing held on to him tightly, as if he would never see Tianyang again if he let go.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Yue Guang finally let Tian Yang stay in the car. With Xi Tong as her "guest", Sun Sun stopped driving and let Liu Ya and the other man drive for several days. Today, she reluctantly sat in the driver's seat again.
Listening to the little thing's laughter, Yue Guang looked back into the cabin from time to time. Seeing this, Sun Sun next to him chuckled.
"Boss, Xiao Xitong is fun, don't you like her very much now?"
Moonlight snorted and didn't respond.
Sun Sun knew her boss' temper and was not surprised: "You must like her, after all, you gave her the name."
Moonlight finally said, "Don't you think Xitong is growing up very fast? In just a few days, she seems to have grown a lot."
Sun Sun said while driving, "Really? I think it's about the same. Besides, it's normal for children to grow fast. Besides, if she doesn't grow after eating so much of our food, it would be a waste."
Moonlight was not sure either, so he shook his head and looked outside the car again.
Suddenly, the communicator in the cab console rang: "All vehicles please slow down, all vehicles please slow down..."
Yue Guang picked up the communicator and said, "I am Yue Guang. What happened ahead?"
Someone immediately answered on the communicator: "Ms. Moonlight, we don't know for sure. There is a large crowd of people ahead, and they look like refugees."
"Refugees?" Moonlight was stunned.
Soon, she also saw that
One or two magnetic cars would pass by, and those cars would be overloaded with people even sitting on top of them.
There were more people walking on foot, carrying bags on their backs, looking dusty and covered in scars, as if they had just stopped somewhere.
Fearing a riot, Tu Moshan stopped the convoy, found an open area, set up a temporary camp, and then sent people out to inquire.
"I heard that the refugees have built a temporary camp not far away. Do you want to come with me to take a look?" Yue Guang packed up and said to Tian Yang.
Tianyang glanced at Xitong who was already asleep, nodded, called Xingluo over, asked her to protect the car, and then handed the little thing over to Sun Sun and the others to take care of.
He jumped out of the car and left the Chamber of Commerce camp with Yue Guang. Because there were five armored vehicles parked in front of the Chamber of Commerce camp, and Ma Liangji was walking back and forth with his elite men, the people passing by only looked at this side a few times, but no one dared to come forward.
Not far away, Tianyang saw tents. They were colorful, not uniform, and looked very messy.
The two walked through the crowd and entered the refugee camp. In the camp, there were mostly old, weak, sick and disabled people with limited mobility, and from time to time, soldiers wearing the uniforms of a certain fortress could be seen.
These people all looked dejected, as if they had suffered a great blow. Tianyang wanted to find one or two of them to ask about the situation, but they all refused.
"Come in and take a look, you two. I have a lot of good stuff here."
When they passed by a big red tent, a 60-year-old man stopped Tianyang and his partner at the door. The old man was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked like other refugees at first glance, but Tianyang did not see frustration and despair in his eyes.
There was a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his lips, which made him very different from those refugees.
Tianyang glanced at Yueguang, who nodded slightly, and the two of them went into the tent. There were display cabinets in the tent, and the cabinets were filled with dazzling items.
It looks like some small gadgets from various fortresses and regions.
"Look at this, this is the coin used by people hundreds of years ago." The old man took out a black box, opened it, and a dark golden coin lay quietly inside.
It is made of two semicircular gold pieces, with a small crystal stone embedded in the middle and strange patterns engraved around it.
The old man said very solemnly: "Coins like this are rare nowadays. From what I have seen, there are no more than 20 of them. They are very valuable for collection."
"Where are you from and what have you encountered?" Yue Guang didn't even look at the coin and went straight to the point.
The old man closed the lid and said with a faint smile: "Where are you from? It's hard to say. Some people in the camp came from Longyan Fort, and some came from Changning Fort. And I am just passing by."
"But I do know a thing or two about what they encountered."
"Beast disaster."
The old man said leisurely: "Longyan Fort and Changning Fort, the two forts have fallen under the attack of the evil gods, and they have become hell on earth. Although these people have escaped, their relatives, friends, and many more people are lying in those two forts forever."
“A lot of people died…”
Tian Yang's heart sank when he heard this. Two fortresses were destroyed by the evil spirit? Such news had not appeared for many years.
Now, it appears again!
PS: By the way, I need to take a rest tomorrow, so I won’t write a separate leave request. Have a happy weekend everyone~
