Chapter 1040 I'm sorry, I was wrong

Back home, the three of them sat around the table, a dim kerosene lamp swaying in the air, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Xiao Heitan sat directly opposite me, with her head lowered and her little hands in her arms, completely covering herself with her dry, mercury-colored hair. To show seriousness, she was not held in my arms this time.

, although I really want to.

"Little Heitan."

After a while, I took a deep breath and finally broke the atmosphere. As my voice sounded, Xiao Heitan's thin body trembled suddenly, as if he was frightened and reprimanded, and began to tremble.

As a result, Jeluka glared over, as if to say, it's all your fault. Look, Xiao Heitan was scared, how pitiful he was.

I blinked innocently. Can you blame me? I just called her calmly.

The serious atmosphere that was finally created was almost terminated because of Xiao Heitan's too timid reaction. However, I am not someone who gives up easily on this kind of matter. This is for Xiao Heitan's own good, and in order to be able to let people know.

Xiao Heitan's happiness must not end up with half-baked preaching at this time.

"Xiao Heitan, I have to have a good talk with you today."

Ignoring Jeluka's glare and attack and Xiao Heitan's pitiful look, I continued the topic forcefully. Today, I, Druid Wu Fan, am going to do something for the first time, and maybe the last time in this life.

An unprecedented and important decision, that is - to become a stern father.

Xiao Heitan lowered her head even lower, and even through her thin and blurry shadow cast by the dim light, she could feel that her pitiful body was trembling, as if Xiao Bai was exposed to the claws of a tiger.

Like a rabbit, people can't help but feel like Wu Song is fighting a tiger - at least the sinister aura exuding from Jeluka next to it gave me such a feeling.

Unmoved... Unmoved, I retracted my trembling feet under my buttocks, coughed a few times, and straightened my face.

"I seemed to have told you yesterday that you should stop mining and do the hard work. Tell me yourself, what did you do today? What do you look like now?"

I looked at Xiao Heitan with distress. There were scars all over her body. The clothes I had just changed for her last night had been cut by sharp stones during the climb, and she had become like a beggar. Her skinny arms and legs were covered with scars.

His chest, abdomen, and even his face were all covered with large and small marks scratched by stones. However, these scars were nothing compared to the bruised and blood-stained palms and soles of his feet.

It's natural for your palms to be injured. If you don't believe it, you can try climbing a thousand-meter-high mountain with your hands and see what your palms will look like. As for the scratches on your feet, they are

It was caused when going down the mountain. Although it looks cool like skiing, there is no doubt that if it keeps rubbing like that, let alone flesh and blood, even if it is put on a pair of iron boots, it will probably be wiped off.

layer.

When we just came back, Jeluka and I had already dealt with the wounds on the palms and soles. The bloody and fleshy areas were almost inhuman wear and tear. Jeluka and I were almost stunned. It was not that we had never seen such wounds before.

Serious wounds, severed limbs, rotting corpses, etc. are commonplace for adventurers like us, but now the owner of the wound is my precious daughter. How is this so different?

Almost in a distressed and breathless state, I helped Xiao Heitan take care of the wounds on her hands and feet. Now, her palms and soles were tightly wrapped in a thick ball of cloth, wrapped around and around. Look.

It looks like a ball of rice dumplings. If you imagine it a little, you can think of it as those cute little lolita with puppet cat claws. But every time I think back to the scene I saw when treating the wound, I feel pain.

I feel so regretful that I am not in the mood to stay at home anymore.

"I……"

From Xiao Heitan, a weak and trembling voice came out.

"Don't lie to your parents. How did you get this injury? Have you never thought about how worried your parents are about you?"

I accentuated my tone. When I mentioned this, even Jeluka next to me became silent and no longer planned to help Xiao Heitan.

"me……"

Xiao Heitan didn't know whether it was nervousness or a guilty conscience, but I kept stammering, and my voice couldn't be lowered, and in the end it sounded like I was crying slightly.

"I...I went to the opposite...to Mount Aris opposite..."

Just when we all couldn't bear to see Xiao Heitan's pitiful appearance, she still took a breath and spoke in a low voice.

Mount Aris... is probably the name of that mountain.

"Do you know how far it is?" I took a breath and asked in an indifferent voice.

"Hmm..." Nod, nod.

"Do you know how dangerous it is along the way?"

"Um...wu~~" Nod, nod, unable to hide his crying.

"Did you climb up?" My eyes fell on Xiao Heitan's hands and feet.

"Woo~~" He nodded in a completely crying tone.

"But...but..."

Sniffing and wiping his eyes, Xiao Heitan said hard. With his two hands wrapped in cloth strips, he took out the three iron thorn flowers hidden in his arms and pushed them in front of us as if he were taking credit.

"But...this...can...can be sold for a lot of money...so..."

He raised his head slightly and spoke in a slightly calmer tone, as if he thought that with these iron thorn flowers, we could calm down our anger.

Is this what made Xiao Heitan climb up there with so much trouble?

Looking at the three iron thorn flowers placed in front of me, I almost wanted to laugh, and at the same time, I felt a desire to crush these flowers into pieces.

It's just a few rotten flowers, but you dare to let my baby girl... let my baby girl look like this, even if you break it one by one, pick off the petals and smash them, or even destroy the grass.

Even if you bulldoze Mount Aris and smash it to pieces, it will be difficult to eliminate this anger.

But...it can't be like this, because it was picked by Xiao Heitan himself, because at the top of the mountain, Xiao Heitan talked to them like friends.

I stood up silently and held the three iron thorn flowers in my hands.

Jeluka suddenly grabbed the hem of my clothes under the table, raised her head and looked at me, bit her lip, shook her head slightly, her eyes showed helplessness, as if she was begging me not to have sex.

Really, does this stupid maid think that I will ignore Xiao Heitan's feelings and get mad and crush these words on the spot? No, I won't do that. Don't underestimate me, maybe I am a fool, maybe I am reckless

***, I only do things based on my enthusiasm, and often cause trouble to everyone, but...but even so, I am...but...

Don't underestimate me, you bastard!!! I am the most invincible daughter-controller in the universe!!!!!!!!

I touched Jeluka's head and took her hand away from her clothes without encountering any resistance. Jeluka was stunned, stunned by the courage I just exuded in an instant.

Huh, stupid humans... No, stupid elves, have you seen it? This is the terrifying pressure of the halo of daughter control + nanny, how can it be that you, the juniors, can't bear it.

Somewhat proudly, I pushed the imaginary frame on the bridge of my nose. I turned around and left. Under Jeluka's dull eyes that still didn't respond, and Xiao Heitan's eyes full of doubts and timidity, I left the cave and disappeared into the night.

.

After a while, I came back and found in my hand a concave flowerpot dug out of a stone. It was filled with soil, and three iron thorn flowers had been planted on it.

Here’s some tips from Wu Fan on growing flowers – when you make your own flower pots, don’t forget to make a few small holes at the bottom of the pots.

Xiao Heitan's eyes turned from doubtful to dull, and he didn't understand at all why I wanted to plant these iron thorn flowers that I wanted to sell.

Where is the best place to put it? Here? The most conspicuous corner, but is it really okay? If it can be sold for a lot of money, it means that people will covet it.

After thinking about it, I placed the flowerpot made of stone in an inconspicuous corner, and then waved to Xiao Heitan.

"Xiao Heitan, come here, I have something to tell you."

Perhaps he was frightened by my strange behavior. Xiao Heitan's movements were a little hesitant, but he still didn't dare to resist at all. He shrank and walked over with his head lowered.

"Eh...wow!!"

When Xiao Heitan exclaimed, I hugged her and sat her down on my knees. Xiao Heitan thought I was going to do something. After all, the expression just now was so terrifying. She was frightened to death.

He closed his eyes and protected his head with his hands, as if he was ready to be beaten.

"Xiao Heitan, open your eyes and take a look."

I couldn't help but slap a *** on her head. This action made her shrink her head again, making her extremely scared.

Not receiving the expected beating or scolding, Xiao Heitan hesitated and slowly squinted her eyes, her gaze falling on the three iron thorn flowers placed in front of her.

In her sight, I pointed at these three flowers with my fingers, including two on the left and right.

"This is dad, this is mom, and then."

His finger fell on the smaller iron thorn flower in the middle: "This is our little black charcoal."

The little Heitan in my arms raised his head and looked at me in shock.

"From now on, these three flowers represent our family. Therefore, I have to give Xiao Heitan a very, very important task. Take good care of these three flowers and let them live healthily and happily.

, just like our future lives, Xiao Heitan, can you do it?"

Lowering my head and stroking Xiao Heitan's cheek with my chin, I looked at Xiao Heitan tenderly and asked.

Little Heitan still opened his mouth wide and looked at me blankly, as if he had seen something incredible. His big eyes, which were originally narrowed into a slit, also opened a little wider, revealing a little beautiful color from inside.

"Why, I can't do it. Let me explain in advance. This is of very important significance to Dad. Therefore, Xiao Heitan must help Dad take care of it. Xiao Heitan's task is just to take care of these flowers. Okay.

Do you promise dad? Pull the hook."

I stretched out my little finger and waved it in front of Xiao Heitan with a smile. My soft and focused eyes fell on that thin face, hoping that those squinted eyes could open wider and reveal more beauty.

Xiao Heitan was still looking at me blankly, seeming to turn a deaf ear to my words and actions. His body in his arms was stiff and motionless, leaving only his slightly open lips that were trembling constantly.

For a long time, she suddenly lowered her head quickly, as if to hide the expression on her face. She lowered her head deeply, buried her head in her chest, then nodded, stretched out her hand... only to find that it had been wrapped into a rice dumpling with strips of cloth.

, it can’t be hooked with my little finger at all.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
