Chapter 820 - 820 Thief
820 Thief
Shuang Yun and Sang Ye led the beast soldiers to carefully search the rock mountain from the inside out, but they still could not find Clement.
Jiu Yuan asked, “We’ve searched the entire mountain. Don’t tell me he went out of the mountain?”
Shuang Yun looked at Sang Ye. “Does your son know the way out of the mountain?”
Sang Ye shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.
!!
Although he and Clement were father and son, they had only known each other for a day and did not like each other. He knew very little about his son. He could only rely on his perception of his own kind to find him.
Shuang Yun said to Jiu Yuan, “Continue searching in the mountains. Sang Ye and I will look outside.”
“Alright!”
After Shuang Yun and Sang Ye went down the mountain, they searched their surroundings bit by bit.
They searched the entire Rock City, but they still couldn’t find Clement.
The two of them returned empty-handed.
Huanhuan was anxious. “Clement has always been by my side. He’s never been away for more than a day. He doesn’t even know the way out. What if he gets lost?”
Bai Di comforted her. “Don’t worry too much. Clement is strong. Even if he’s out there alone, no one will dare bully him. We’ll look carefully tomorrow. We’ll definitely find him.”
“I’ll look for him with them tomorrow.”
Shuang Yun disagreed. “It’s hot out there. You’ll be uncomfortable if you go out.”
Huanhuan expressed that it was okay and insisted on helping find Clement.
She couldn’t feel at ease until she got Clement back.
Bai Di said, “I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
“Mhm.”
Huanhuan didn’t have much of an appet.i.te. She casually ate two mouthfuls of food for dinner before putting down her bowl and chopsticks.
“I’m going upstairs to check on Eggy.”
Shuang Yun quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks. “I’ll go with you.”
“No need.” Huanhuan saw that he had only eaten a little food and was definitely not full. “Continue eating. Don’t worry about me. I’ll find something to eat when I’m hungry.”
She carried the food upstairs, pushed open the door, and walked into the bedroom. She saw Eggy sitting on the bed, munching on sunflower seeds.
Her bird mouth was especially suitable for eating sunflower seeds. The sunflower seeds fell into her mouth and the hulls were spat out.
Fortunately, she remembered her mother’s words about not dirtying the bed. She spat all the sunflower seeds onto the ground.
Huanhuan looked at the sunflower seeds on the ground beside the bed and smiled helplessly. “You ate so many sunflower seeds. Are you not planning to eat dinner?”
As soon as Eggy saw her mother, she immediately flapped her wings to fly over.
Huanhuan stopped her.
“Your wound hasn’t healed yet. Stay there and don’t move.”
Huanhuan walked over and placed the food on the table. “Do you want me to feed you? Or do you want to eat it yourself?”
Eggy raised her head. “I want you to feed me!”
She could not let go of the opportunity to wheedle!
Huanhuan fed her bit by bit, and she quickly finished the food.
Eggy lay on her back on the bed, revealing her round belly. She burped in satisfaction.
She suddenly asked, “Clement hasn’t been found yet?”
Speaking of Clement, Huanhuan couldn’t help but worry. “Yes, we’ve searched the entire city, but we still can’t find him. At this time, I wonder if he’s had dinner. Where will he sleep at night? Will he starve and freeze…”
Eggy turned over and stretched out her wings to cover the back of her mother’s hand. “Mom, don’t be anxious. After I recover, I’ll help look for him too.”
At night, the entire family fell asleep.
Huanhuan lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time. She couldn’t fall asleep.
She was worried that if she closed her eyes, the pitiful image of Clement starving and freezing would appear in her mind.
In the end, she couldn’t sleep. Huanhuan climbed out of bed and prepared to go downstairs to get some air.
She put on her coat, took out the fluorite, and carefully walked down the stairs.
At this moment, the doors of the three bedrooms next door were pulled open one after another. Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye walked out.
When Huanhuan pulled open the door just now, they were all awake.
Bai Di called Huanhuan’s name.
Huanhuan turned around and realized that the three of them were awake. She quickly apologized. “I’m sorry. I thought I was already being very careful. I didn’t expect to wake you up.”
Bai Di asked Shuang Yun and Sang Ye to go back to sleep. He went downstairs and held Huanhuan’s hand. “Why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night?” he asked in a low voice.
Huanhuan didn’t say that she couldn’t sleep. She made up an excuse at the last minute. “I want some water.
Bai Di sat her down on a stool while he went into the kitchen to get water.
But as soon as Bai Di picked up his cup, he sensed that something was wrong.
The faint breath floating in the air told him that there was someone else in the kitchen besides him!
Bai Di put down his cup and said, “Come out!”
There was no response. The kitchen was very quiet.
Huanhuan heard Bai Di’s voice and immediately stood up. She hurried into the kitchen and asked nervously, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s fine. There’s a thief in the house.”
“Thief?!” Huanhuan was shocked.
“Don’t worry, this little thief won’t hurt anyone.”
Huanhuan was very surprised. “How do you know he won’t hurt anyone?”
“We’re family. I’m sure he won’t hurt anyone.”
Huanhuan was stunned at first, but then she reacted and turned to look around. “Clement, is that you?”
A moment later, a faint rustling sound came from the corner.
Huanhuan and Bai Di looked in the direction of the voice and saw a small black snake slithering out of the corner.
“Clement?!” Huanhuan was very surprised.
Clement was also happy to see his mother, but he was afraid of being scolded, so he dawdled and did not dare to approach her.
Huanhuan didn’t have that many scruples. She quickly walked over and reached out to scoop him up into her arms.
“You’re finally back. We’ve been looking for you all day. I thought you were lost outside. I was so worried that I couldn’t eat or sleep!”
Seeing that not only did his mother not blame him, but she was also so worried about him, the burden in his heart was finally lifted.
He nuzzled his mother’s cheek, his heart filled with joy.
Bai Di searched the kitchen and found two wild deer that had been hanged.
Clearly, these two wild deer were prey that had been dragged back by Clement.
Bai Di asked Huanhuan, “What should we do with these two prey?”
Huanhuan looked at Clement inquiringly.
Clement wagged his tail. “Hiss~”
Huanhuan immediately understood. “You want to give these two prey to Eggy?”
Clement nodded.
“Are you planning to apologize to Eggy with these two prey?”
“Hiss!”
Clement didn’t think he was in the wrong. He bit Eggy because she was the one who provoked him first.
The reason he wanted to give her these gifts was mainly to please his mother. He didn’t want her to be angry about this.
Bai Di put the two wild deer into his s.p.a.ce. “We’ll give the prey to Eggy in the morning. It’s late. Go to bed.”
“Mhm.”
Huanhuan carried him back to her room to sleep.
Clement had returned safely. Huanhuan could finally be at ease and sleep in peace.
