Chapter 1703: Sick
Xi Yue raised her head and couldn’t help but be amused when she saw Little Red Bird fluttering in Xi Weizhi’s hands.
Little Nuo’s eyes widened as if she couldn’t believe her ears — Oh my G.o.d, not only did this red bird fall from the sky, but it could also speak human language!
Seeing that Xi Weizhi was going to pluck Little Red Bird’s feathers, she said, “Weizhi, okay, let it go. If you want to eat birds, let it catch a few for you.”
Xi Weizhi tilted his head slightly. His dark eyes gleamed a little, “Xi Yue, will you roast it for me?”
“s.h.i.+t, how could this divine bird do such an inferior thing as catching birds…”
Before it finished the last word, Little Red Bird met the boy’s eyes. It retracted its fluttering wings immediately, shrank its neck, and said, “Catching birds or something like that, I don’t mind doing that occasionally.”
After watching Weizhi and Little Red Bird fooling around for a while, the sky gradually darkened.
Little Nuo, who was originally concentrating on studying, became absent-minded and kept looking in the direction of the valley entrance.
These days, Little Nuo’s mother left early and returned home late. Sometimes, she didn’t even return for two days. When she came back, she looked worried.
It happened again that day. Little Nuo’s mother went out early in the morning and hadn’t come back yet.
Little Red Bird nibbled on the fragrant roasted bird wings that it had caught. Seeing that Little Nuo had no intention of eating such delicious food, it smiled in disdain, secretly stretching out his paws to s.n.a.t.c.h Little Nuo’s portion.
However, it retracted its paw in annoyance after Xi Yue shot it a glance.
“Little girl, why is it that there is only your mother here? Where is your father? I thought every human child has both a father and a mother.”
Hearing Little Red Bird’s question, Little Nuo’s face showed a sad look, “My mother said that my father went to a faraway place. He will come back when I grow up.”
Little Red Bird looked astonished, “Oh, when she said he went to a faraway place, it actually meant…”
Before the bird finished its sentence, Xi Yue reached out and struck Little Red Bird with a purple whip on the face, stopping it from continuing to speak.
The whipping was quite painful. Little Red Bird chirped several times, then gnawed on the bird’s breast meat and continued to ask, “Then you can’t just live in this c.r.a.ppy place with your mother, right? There’s no one else here. Won’t you get bored to death?”
“We have many other tribesmen!” Little Nuo immediately retorted.
“What happened to your tribe? Why don’t you live with them or play with them?”
Little Nuo’s expression became even gloomier. Her long eyelashes drooped, seemingly going to tear up. “Mother said that because I’m sick, I can’t visit them. I can’t go back until I recover.”
Xi Yue opened her eyes slightly, with a surprised look on her face.
She knew better than anyone whether Little Nuo was sick or not. Although the little girl looked a little thin and her face was sallow, she did not have any disease, especially an infectious disease that required living in isolation.
Xi Yue was about to ask Little Nuo what disease she had when she saw Little Nuo’s mother hurriedly entering the valley.
“Mother—!” Little Nuo ran over happily and threw herself into the woman’s arms.
The woman hugged her daughter tightly. The woman tightly embraced her daughter, appearing very emotional. Her eyelids were swollen and glistening with tears, indicating she must have cried just now.
However, when Little Nuo raised her head, the woman regained her gentle expression. She touched Little Nuo’s head and led her to the wooden cabin.
