No one knew why Mr. Zhu, who always had a bad temper, didn't fight back. It would have been fine if he didn't fight back, but he seemed to not even dare to hide.
An Nuo was really furious, and his usual gentle temperament was completely gone at this moment.
Raphael stood a few steps away, watching his wife beating someone, hesitated for a moment, and watched from where he was.
Zhan Xi didn't eat melons or watch the show, he didn't even look at An Nuo and An Rong.
After arriving here, all he could see was the little kid who had lost his shoes and was sitting in the pile of wild vegetables.
"Ningzi."
Zhan Xi's eyes turned red as he strode over, picked up the little cub and held him in his arms.
The warm body temperature touched his chest, and at that moment, Zhan Xi felt that he was finally alive.
"Ningzi, Daddy found you. Daddy finally found you."
Zhan Xi hugged the little guy tightly. Such a tight hug was originally a little uncomfortable, but the little guy hugged his father and was reluctant to let go.
He buried his face in his father's arms and cried breathlessly.
“Dad, Dad.”
The little boy kept calling for his dad, and his chubby little hands held his dad tightly, as if he was afraid that his dad would disappear again.
Ling Qi and Huo Lin came over and looked at the little baby in Zhan Xi's arms. They wanted to coax him but didn't know where to start.
Finally, Huo Lin searched and found the little shoes that the little boy had dropped.
The little shoes were dirty and the toes were covered in mud.
Huo Lin looked at the shoes and lowered his eyes.
He handed the shoes to Zhan Xi, who only touched them once and shook his head: "The inside of the shoes is wet, you can't wear them."
The baby cries so hard, and such loud crying is very exhausting.
Before An Nuo finished beating his brother, the little guy leaned in his father's arms and fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
Zhan Xi looked at the little cub with red and swollen eyelids, bent down and kissed him. He didn't want to stay here for even a second.
"Lingqi, Linzi, let's go back."
"good."
Zhan Xi picked up the baby in his arms, turned around and walked away.
On the spaceship outside were the clothes and shoes for the little baby he brought, and he wanted to change the baby's clothes.
As soon as Zhan Xi left with the baby in his arms, Ling Qi and Huo Lin followed closely.
When Raphael saw them leaving, he quickly called An Nuo: "An Nuo, Ningzi is gone, let's go back too."
He didn't know who the person was beaten by Anno, but looking at the other person beaten, it was not like a rival.
When An Nuo heard Ning Zai leave, he regained some sense. He didn't even call An Zhuo, but turned away with a cold face.
After beating the man, he was still angry.
An Zhu, who was beaten up by An Nuo, said: "…"
what happened
Although An Zhu was beaten up and didn't know why, his desire to survive made him follow him instinctively. Not only did he follow, he also pulled Yi Er along.
An Nuo walked ahead without looking back.
An Zhu looked at his back and shouted, "Wait for me!"
When they all left, the crowd that had just watched was still confused.
"Eh? I don't think Mr. Zhu is going for revenge."
"What's wrong with Mr. Zhu? You still followed him even after getting beaten up."
"I just saw the guy who beat up Mr. Zhu. He looked pretty good. Do you think he could be Mr. Zhu's..."
"impossible."
Various suspicions and speculations were brewing among the crowd, and the person involved had already left.
In the past, outsiders who entered here would be treated as commodities. But in the face of absolute suppression by force, no matter where they went, no one could infringe upon them.
Among Raphael's group, although Anno is a pure healing type without any attack power, Raphael himself is not a vegetarian.
soon.
Zhan Xi took the cub back, and the group returned quickly, completely forgetting about Lin Xun. It was only when Ling Qi was halfway through the journey that he remembered Officer Xiao Lin.
He paused and asked, "Have we forgotten Lin Xun?"
Although Huo Lin wanted to follow Uncle Zhan to see Ning Zai, Officer Xiao Lin had not been found yet, so he couldn't go with them at this time.
"I'll try and find it."
Huo Lin said, and went to tell An Nuo: "Uncle, Officer Lin Xun hasn't come out yet."
An Nuo stopped walking and said, "I understand. You go first. I'll go get Lin Xun out."
"good."
After the two of them finished talking, An Nuo turned around and walked towards An Zhu again.
An Zhen subconsciously took two steps back.
"Where is Lin Xun?" An Nuo asked.
An Zhu: “…”
An Zhu: "Who is Lin Xun?"
An Zhu really didn’t know that the man brought back by the cub was called Lin Xun. Seeing that he was about to be beaten again, Yi’er behind him reacted.
"I know where he is. I'll take you there."
Yier took the initiative to speak and took An Nuo to find someone.
On the way back to look for someone, An Zhu couldn't help but move closer to An Nuo. He lowered his voice and called out, "Brother."
An Nuo still had a cold face and ignored him.
An Zhun's previous momentum in front of outsiders was gone. He slowed down his voice and continued, "Why are you here?"
He came and beat him as soon as he met me.
They are brothers after all. Although they are not born from the same father or mother, they are related by blood.
Besides, his elder brother always had a reason for beating him before, but he didn't know what the reason was this time.
Annuo remained silent.
Not long after, Lin Xun was brought out. Lin Xun was a man of few words, and he didn't say a word after being brought out.
Raphael, however, heard the relationship between An Zhu and An Nuo.
He also took a special look at An Zhu, who indeed had a royal appearance, except that his body was much healthier, probably because of the training he had received in his later years.
They were still walking towards the spaceship, and on the spaceship, Zhan Xi had already returned with his baby cub.
In the spaceship room, Zhan Xi put the baby on the bed. Just as he was about to let go to find clothes, he grabbed his baby, closed his eyes, opened his mouth and started crying.
Seeing this, Zhan Xi had no choice but to hold him with one hand and look for clothes with the other.
He couldn't handle it alone, luckily Huo Lin came back quickly.
"Uncle Zhan, I'll help you."
Huo Lin went to help Zhan Xi refurbish his clothes and socks, while Ling Qi first turned up the temperature in the room, then went to get a basin of hot water and a towel.
While bringing the hot water, Ling Qi also brought the fruit-scented shower gel that the little one liked to use, as well as the oil to be applied after taking a bath.
Water and everything is ready.
Zhan Xi sat on the small chair and began to bathe the baby.
Zizi's clothes were taken off, and once they were taken off, the bruises on his body could no longer be hidden.
Seeing these deep and shallow marks, Zhan Xi's hands froze.
Not only Zhan Xi's hands froze, even Ling Qi, who was helping him take a bath, was stunned.
An Nuo, who had just opened the door and was about to check on his cub, went out with a gloomy face and picked up his brother again.
"Anzhu."
An Nuo looked at his brother coldly and asked, "Do you know who the cub inside is?"
An Zhu: “…”
An Zhu didn't know, so he guessed, "Brother, is this the cub you know?"
An Nuo kicked him hard, and then told him word by word -
"The cub inside is An Zhu and Li Zhi's cub!"
An Zhu: “…”
An Zhu's brain went blank for a moment.
He stared at An Nuo blankly and shook his head to deny: "Impossible, didn't my second sister's cub already..."
He didn't say the last two words, just shook his head and repeated that it was impossible: "This cub is so fat, how could he be our royal cub? He can eat four bowls of rice in one meal."
An Zhu had a lot of reasonable doubts, but when he met Annuo's eyes, he suddenly fell silent.
An Nuo would not lie to him about such a thing.
This sounds ridiculous, but it is true.
After realizing the little cub's identity, An Zhu couldn't help but think of the cub's life in the city these days.
If this cub was just an ordinary cub and ended up in the city, if he gave it a job, let it be trained, and let it learn to survive independently, this would undoubtedly be a good thing he did.
But if this cub is his relative, his most precious royal cub...
An Zhu's face turned pale.
He murmured, "I, I am doing something."
Ningzai is his little nephew, his precious nephew who he held in his arms as soon as he was born, and his nephew whose diapers he changed and whose milk powder he fed himself.
His favorite thing in the past was to make his little nephew laugh. When the little guy laughed, his mouth would open and his eyes would curve into little crescents, which was very beautiful.
But this time, he didn't recognize his former baby.
No wonder An Nuo beat him up as soon as they met.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
An Zhen apologized, his eyes red, and he apologized repeatedly: "I didn't recognize Ning Zai, I wish I had recognized him earlier."
If he had recognized him earlier, he would not have let Ningzai suffer any loss in his territory.
An Nuo was still furious: "Wait until Ningzi wakes up, then go and apologize to him."
He looked at his brother, whose face was full of self-blame, and he was not soft-hearted at all: "But I remind you in advance that in Ningzi's heart, his family members are the most beloved, and they will love and protect him."
"If you go to him, he may not recognize you."
An Nuo's last words suddenly stabbed An Zhi's heart.
"I will apologize to him."
An Zhi said softly: "In the future... I will compensate him."
They were talking outside. An Nuo glanced at the door and added calmly, "Zhan Xi and the others are protecting their shortcomings. I'm afraid your uncle won't be able to get away with it easily."
"Who is Zhan Xi?"
"Ningzi's father."
"Where's Li Zhi?"
"sleeping."
An Zhen felt that he had missed a lot of lessons. Now he couldn't even figure out the relationships between the people around the little boy.
"Brother, can you tell me in more detail?"
An Zhu was here to persuade An Nuo to explain things in detail.
Seeing An Nuo frowned, Raphael immediately stepped forward and said, "I've prepared some honey water for you. Drink a glass. I'll talk to him if you have anything to say."
"Um."
Raphael and the others were outside, and in the room, the little one had finished his bath.
Zhan Xi laid him flat on the bed, took some oil and applied it on his face and body, after that, he took another ointment handed to him by Huo Lin and applied it gently and carefully on the bruises on the little cub's body.
No one spoke while applying the ointment.
After Zhan Xi applied the medicine, his eyes became even redder, and his heart was bleeding from the pain.
"Rin, hand me his clothes."
"good."
Clean and soft clothes were put on the baby, as well as socks with cartoon dinosaurs. After being dressed up again, the baby looked like a pretty baby again.
Zhan Xi touched his chubby face and said, "You've lost weight."
Although the little guy hasn't lost his milk fat yet, he is obviously a lot thinner than before.
Ling Qi was sitting beside the bed, also squeezing the little cub's hand. He said softly, "When we get back, eat more meals a day, and you'll be able to gain weight back soon."
They still remembered the speculation Ella had told them. The soft flesh on the cub's body would be very useful at a critical moment, so they didn't want their cub to be too thin.
Several people sat nearby, looking at the little cub on the bed, and couldn't get enough of looking at it.
The little cub grabbed an adult with both of his little hands. Now he was surrounded by adults and was sleeping soundly.
As Huo Lin watched, his eyelids began to twitch.
Zhan Xi noticed that Huo Lin was sleepy, so he carried him to the bed as well: "You haven't slept well these days, sleep with Ningzi for a while."
Dark circles appeared on Huo Lin's handsome little face.
Zhan Xi let go of the little guy's hand, and as soon as he let go, the little guy pouted and was about to cry.
Fortunately, Huo Lin was quick enough to hold his hand again, and lay down beside him, hugging him in his arms.
The tip of the little cub's nose moved, as if he was confirming the scent.
A few seconds later.
After confirming everything, the little cub buried his chubby face in his brother's arms and continued to sleep.
Huo Lin hugged him and closed his eyes.
The two cubs, one big and one small, fell asleep in each other's arms. With Huo Lin holding them, Zhan Xi and Ling Qi didn't have to hold the cubs' hands all the time.
"Let them sleep, Ling Qi, let's go out and take a look."
"Um."
They walked out together, and when they went out, they saw An Zhu standing outside.
"Hello, you guys."
An Zhu greeted Zhan Xi and Ling Qi in a slightly unfamiliar manner: "I'm An Zhu."
An Ding, this name made Zhan Xi's eyelids twitch.
Sure enough, An Zhu directly revealed his identity in the next step: "I am Ningzai's uncle. Ningzai was brought to the city... I didn't recognize him."
Compared to blood relationship, An Zhu is the little one's relative.
But An Zhen now knows that the little boy was raised by the man in front of him, and this man is now the little boy's father.
In the little boy's heart, daddy is always the most important.
Zhan Xi listened to the self-introduction of the person in front of him. His face was cold and he didn't say a word.
An Zhi knew that his reaction was reasonable, so he lowered his posture and continued, "When Ning Zai wakes up, I will apologize to him."
Zhan Xi still ignored him.
Now that the cub has been found, there is no point for them to stay here any longer.
Zhan Xi looked at An Nuo and Raphael and said, "We have to find a way to contact Ludwig. Once we contact him, we will go back."
"Ok, I know."
Before contacting Ludwig, Zhan Xi still had one thing to do.
He looked at An Zhu and asked directly, "Do you know who bullied Ning Zai?"
An Zhu: “…”
An Zhu didn't know.
Zhan Xi knew from his expression that he didn't know, and seeing that he didn't understand, Zhan Xi didn't ask him any more.
He can ask Ningzai after he wakes up.
In short, before returning home, he must take revenge on his child who was bullied.
With Zhan Xi staring at the baby, An Zhun couldn't squeeze in even when he wanted to go in to see the baby.
An Nuo glanced at him and asked, "Are you planning to go back with me, or continue to stay here?"
An Zhu looked at him, then turned back to look at Yi'er.
"Brother, I don't plan to stay here any longer."
The appearance of the little cub is hope for An Zhu.
He originally stayed here because his obsession was too strong. He wanted all his former clan members and relatives to come back, and he wanted the entire royal family to return to the past.
Now, their little cub is still alive, and Anno is also alive...
Maybe other members of the tribe are also alive.
An Zhun had hope in his heart, so he decided not to trap himself in this place any longer. He looked at An Nuo and smiled, "Brother, let's go see Ning Zai later. I plan to go out for a walk."
Upon hearing this, An Nuo did not stop him.
An Zhu used to be the most restless child in the entire royal family. If he wants to travel around, then let him go wherever he wants.
An Zhu decided to leave, so naturally he had to collect the assets in the city before leaving.
"Brother, do you want to go back with me again?"
"No, I have to wait for Ningzai to wake up."
An Zhu also wanted to wait, but the cub didn't seem to wake up for a while, so he thought about it and decided to go and deal with things in the city first.
I do not know how long it has been.
The little kid in the room suddenly woke up, with panic still on his chubby face. After looking up and seeing his brother, the panic slowly disappeared from his wide-open eyes.
"elder brother."
The little cub came over, rubbed against his brother, and whispered in a baby voice: "Cub, you are not dreaming."
He really slept with his brother, he was not dreaming.
After the little guy woke up, he was not grouchy at all. He sat next to his brother and just looked at his brother's sleeping face obediently.
My brother has long black eyelashes, which are clearer when he closes his eyes, but the circles around his eyes seem a little dark.
The little boy looked at his brother's face, and then raised his hand to pinch the fat on his own face. He compared them and said with emotion: "My brother is still the best looking."
The little guy didn't make any noise after waking up, so the adults didn't notice.
Until Zhan Xi walked in and saw the little cub on the bed.
"Ningzi, are you awake?"
Zhan Xi sat over and opened his hands.
When the little cub heard his father's voice, he curled his eyes, climbed up and threw himself on his father, and gave his father a loud kiss on the face.
There was a hint of smile in Zhan Xi's eyes.
He also came over and kissed the little boy on both cheeks.
"Ningzi, do you miss your daddy?"
"think!"
The little cub sat clingingly in his father's arms, his eyes sparkling: "Cub misses daddy so much!"
Zhan Xi held him up and told him: "Dad misses you too, and thinks about you every day."
Zhan Xi has raised the cub for such a long time, and this time he is really scared.
During the last winter camp incident, he at least knew where the cub was. But this time, the cub was taken away and he didn’t even know where he would be taken.
The father and son were just being intimate like this, both of them spoke in low voices for fear of waking Huo Lin up.
After being together for a while, Zhan Xi held the little boy in his arms and asked him, "Ning, do you want to go home?"
"think!"
The little boy's original graduation plan was to go play with Sevi and Lele with Wagner, but now due to an accident, the little boy's summer vacation is almost used up.
Zhan Xi rested his forehead against the little boy's forehead and spoke to him in a low voice: "We will be back soon. Your uncle Lulu is also looking for you. When he comes back, we will go together."
"Um!"
The little cub who was found was extremely clingy. He had to see an adult in his sight, otherwise he would burst into tears.
He clung to Zhan Xi, and Zhan Xi also clung to him.
Whoever finds the precious baby that was lost and found again will not want to let go.
"Ningzi."
There were delicious food and drinks on the spaceship, and Zhan Xi didn't forbid the little boy from eating candy. He watched the little boy eat candy and talked to him, "Do you want to tell Dad how you got through these days?"
The last time the little guy came back from winter camp, he talked to his father for a long time about how he lived.
Things like digging wild vegetables, eating poisonous mushrooms, roasting insects, etc.
Zhan Xi listened to the little boy's experience. Although he felt distressed, he was able to calm down a little bit after hearing the little boy's story.
He felt distressed and fortunate that the baby was able to survive on his own when he was not with him.
This time, the little cub leaned against his father, his white and tender face full of depression: "Dad, cub wants to grow up."
Zhan Xi was stunned: "Why do you want to grow up?"
The little boy puffed up his cheeks and replied, "When I grow up, I can work."
"Zizi was working, and they bullied Zizi because she was small. They pushed Zizi down and even snatched vegetables."
The little guy thinks that when he grows up, even if he works here, he won’t be bullied so much.
"We don't have to grow up."
Zhan Xi kissed the baby's chubby face and said to him gently: "Dad will take good care of the baby in the future and will not let the baby be captured by bad people again."
"When we get home, my son will go back to school. We will have to study for a long, long time, all the way to college, and then take the civil service exam."
Zhan Xi had already made life plans for his child.
He wanted his child to be like other children, go to school, take exams, graduate, get a job, and get married.
His ideal job is to be a civil servant, but the salaries of civil servants in the empire are not that high. When the time comes, they will buy a house on Baiwu Star, so he and Ling Qi should earn a little more.
The little cub listened to his father's plan for him and his short legs shook.
"Dad, my son has grown up and doesn't want a wife."
"Zizi must be filial to you and Uncle Lingqi, as well as my uncle and aunt..."
The little boy counted on his fingers and made a big circle.
After counting, the little kid sighed like a little adult: "Oh, when I grow up, I will make a lot of money."
Otherwise, with so many elders in his family, he wouldn't be able to show filial piety to them all.
The freshman and the junior were chatting in their daily routines, and the atmosphere was inexplicably warm and harmonious.
Another while passed.
Huo Lin woke up, and the first thing he did was to look for his baby.
"Ningzi."
The little prince, whose hair was a little messy from sleeping, was not even wearing a coat and had not tidied up his appearance. He frowned and was looking for his cub.
The little kid who was with his father heard his brother's voice and ran over quickly.
"Brother, the cub is here!"
The little boy had a pocket full of candies, which he smeared on his face after applying the skin care oil. The candies were fragrant and soft. He ran to his brother and showed him the candies as if he were presenting a treasure.
“So much sugar.”
"Yes, my aunt gave it to me. My father didn't confiscate it."
After showing the candy to his brother, the little boy suddenly seemed to remember something and frowned, "The little gold lock that my aunt gave me is gone."
There are also very beautiful little gold bracelets, and the little gold lock and little gold bracelets both have the name of the baby on them.
The little ones treasure these two things very much.
He hid the small gold lock around his neck so that it was not visible outside, and he also wrapped the small gold bracelet with wool to prevent others from recognizing it.
But he used his precious little gold lock and little gold bracelet to exchange for money from Uncle Zhu.
Seeing his wrinkled face, Huo Lin coaxed him, "I'll buy you a small gold lock and a small gold bracelet."
The little guy was still not interested after hearing this.
Raphael was standing at the door, wanting to check on the cub, but he heard this at the door.
He walked in a few steps and fed the cub a chocolate bar. After the cub bit the chocolate bar, he picked up the cub.
"Ningzi, what happened? Did you lose the little gold lock I gave you?"
The little cub shook his head. He clutched the chocolate bar and said, "Cub hid it very well. It's not lost."
"Zizi took out all the gold to exchange for money. With the money, we can rescue brother Lin Xun."
Raphael: “…”
Raphael asked, "Who did you exchange it with?"
The little boy didn't see Uncle Zhu at this time, so he didn't know that his boss was his uncle.
So, facing his aunt's questioning, the little boy honestly replied: "I exchanged with Uncle Zhu. I serve Uncle Zhu and Uncle Zhu feeds me."
Raphael narrowed his eyes.
very good.
He made a gold lock and a gold bracelet for the little guy, but after a long time, they were all replaced by this cheap uncle.
It seems that Anno didn't hit him too lightly.
Raphael deliberately did not tell the little boy who this Uncle Zhu was.
According to the little boy's personality, if he knew that Uncle Zhu was his uncle, but his uncle didn't recognize him and made him work...
I guess it will take some time for the cheap uncle to coax the little kid.
After Raphael asked the kid, he freed one hand and pinched his chubby face: "Okay, don't be depressed."
"Your little gold lock and little gold bracelet will be returned. If not, I will make you new ones."
His stingy aunt is still as stingy as ever to him, but in addition to his wife, he has also been generous to his cub.
With the aunt coaxing the baby, it wasn't long before the baby started to giggle out loud.
Raphael pointed to his face and demanded, "Kiss aunt."
Little cub: "Bobobobo!"
The two of them were playing around, and Huo Lin was watching from the side, and the expression on his little face was not so cold anymore.
As long as he sees Ning Zai, Huo Lin's cold face will break the ice in a second.
That night.
An Dun dealt with things in the city and brought Yi'er back.
When they came back, An Nuo saw that his brother's attitude was lukewarm: "Ningzi is still awake, come over."
An Zhu: “…”
An Zhu knew that An Nuo wanted him to go and coax her.
However, when he looked at Annuo's expression, he always felt a sense of crisis.
"Brother, if I can't coax Ningzai, are you going to beat me up again?"
An Nuo opened his eyelids and glanced at him: "What do you think?"
An Zhu: “…”
An Rong took the small gold lock and small gold bracelet that he had just taken out of his pocket, as well as the candy that he had just brought back, and went to the little boy's room with gritted teeth.
Zhan Xi was taking a shower and Ling Qi was cooking a midnight snack.
At this moment, there were only the little kid in pajamas and Huo Lin on the bed in the room.
The two babies, one big and one small, were wearing the same pajamas with cartoon patterns of "GongGong" and "Chubby" on them. These were designed casually by Ivy to kill time.
When the little boy saw An Zhu coming, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
When he worked for Uncle Zhu, he agreed to serve Uncle Zhu for a long time.
It is not time to work yet, so he has to go home with his father.
The guilty little kid got up from the bed and said to An Zhu in a soft and tender voice, "Uncle Zhu, I'm sorry, I can't work for you anymore."
An Zhu: “…”
An Zhu could sense the death gaze behind him.
Annuo was worried about him taking care of the baby, so he was watching from behind.
An Zhen looked at the kid in front of him who was apologizing to him, and then felt the death gaze behind him, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"Ningzi."
An Zhu opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "You don't have to apologize to me. I should apologize to you. I should take good care of you."
Little cub: “…”
The little cub's face was confused.
