When Ruo Ruo woke up again, she had been sent back to the town.
Shen Yu and her two brothers were afraid that she would lose control in the Waj tribe when she woke up, so they sent her back.
Ruo Ruo stared blankly at the ceiling above her head, and this time, instead of making a scene, she just stayed quiet for a few minutes before she looked woodenly upwards and asked.
“So have you guys seen him?”
“……”
Mo Bao and Huo Yin, simply didn’t know how to answer the question.
Of course they saw him.
How could they not have seen it when Chief Vai had introduced his newly returned son to them so grandly at that bonfire party?
Mo Bao: “Ruo Ruo, don’t think too much, right now the main thing we need to do is to make sure that he’s okay, the rest, when we get back, just tell daddy and let him make up his mind.”
Huo Yin: “Mm.”
The brothers, both of them, were acquiescing to this decision.
But as soon as Ruo Ruo heard this on the bed, suddenly she began to have big tears rolling down her eyes.
“How can this be? He hates this place so much, his auntie and sister, and auntie and uncle, all died at the hands of that old beast, it’s a hell that eats people without spitting out bones, how can he stay there?”
The little girl tore her heart out and cried.
Dead or alive, she just didn’t agree with their decision.
Finally, it was Shen Yu who came over.
“In that case, then Mo Bao, you can stay here with your sister, it just so happens that after clearing out the remnants of Lan Yuan this time, I am also going to leave a small detachment in the Waj tribe to monitor future movements. You and Ruo Ruo both can stay here while another staff member is sent from the Y Province side.”
“Is that okay? That chief will agree?”
Mo Bao scratched his head as he listened.
Shen Yu nodded, “Agreed, I’ve already told him, he’s scared now too, all those years, in fact he’s probably been jealous of those people, it was so easy for us to clear them out, he can’t wait for us to leave someone behind to watch a bit more.”
He spoke about what he had talked to the Vai chief’s side long ago.
The words fell, and before Mo Bao could even make a sound, the little girl lying on the bed had already gotten up, and she grabbed her brother, pleading, “Fine, brother, then we’ll stay.”
Mo Bao: “……”
Since then, the two siblings have stayed with that small group in this tribe.
Alain still did not know them.
The teenager in the king’s court never came out either, even if Ruo Ruo often managed to go around there without seeing him.
Instead, it was his grandparents, and Ruo Ruo saw that someone was building them a new house.
“Quick, pour this bucket of cement down, make the house strong!”
“And the rebar.”
“……”
After the rickety shed had been torn down, the people from that housing estate were there, busy messing around.
Ruo Ruo just stood there with a sad face.
She remembered the day when she came here and ran into these two old men, and remembered that when the teenager had taken her in, they had begged a bowl of honey water to drink from their hands.
Back then, the water was so sweet.
“Little girl, why are you standing here? Do you want to go in and sit down?”
Suddenly, someone called out to her right behind her.
She heard it and immediately turned around, but to her surprise, the person calling out to her was none other than the grandfather of the teenager she had met in the first place.
“Will you …… speak our words?”
“Of course I do, Rog’s uncle went out from here to study at first and taught us so many things.”
Grandpa saw the pretty little girl and smiled so much that even his toothless mouth was showing.
However, as soon as Ruo Ruo heard the name, she was even sadder.
She loved Rogo, she loved sixteen.
Her sixteen.
She wiped up her tears in front of this old man.
The old man: “……”
It took a while before the old man tugged on her sleeve and pulled this little girl into the house they were now temporarily living in, and then, inside, gave her another bowl of honey water.
The old woman: “Why have you brought her here? Isn’t she the girl who came with the child that day?”
Old Grandpa: “Yes, she’s been crying, probably because the child doesn’t remember her now.”
He sighed too.
The old couple brought the water to the little girl, only to find that when she saw this, her eyes got even redder, and within a few moments, they were “snapping”.
The old man: “……”
After a moment’s hesitation, he finally spoke, “Little girl, do you want to see my grandson?”
“Yes!”
Without even half a hesitation, Ruo Ruo, whose face was still covered in tears, raised her head to look at him.
When the old man saw this, he nodded back.
“I can take you to see him secretly, but make sure the chief doesn’t find out, he’s very squeamish about Logue knowing you, and besides, Logue has a mission to complete now before his mother and sister can be released.”
“What do you mean? His mother and sister are still there?”
Ruo Ruo was instantly very shocked.
The old man nodded his head.
“Of course they are, but the chief is the only one who knows where they are imprisoned, so he has given Rogo orders that if he can meet the qualifications to inherit the royal court within three months, he will release them, mother and daughter.”
“……”
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Ruo Ruo sat there with another “buzz” in her head!
