Chapter 982: Chapter 980: Your Na Is Xiao Qi
As soon as Ah Jiu left, the Wolf Child rushed out of the woods, still using all four limbs. In the blink of an eye, he had already jumped in front of Wufu and squatted down.
Wufu said, “You are a human, from now on you don’t need to walk like this, walk on two legs.”
The Wolf Child seed partly understanding.
“Follow ?” Wufu reached out her hand to him and said, “Shall I take you for a wash?”
The Wolf Child looked at her clean clothes, then looked at himself, and lifted his head to look at her hand. After a long mont, he tentatively reached out his hand.
“Good child.” Wufu imdiately grabbed hold of it, leaving him no chance to retreat.
Holding his hand, she clearly felt that the hand in hers was rough, with a thick layer of calluses. How could this resemble a child’s hand?
She led him to the lakeside and said, “Can you swim? Soak here and wash up.”
The Wolf Child was quite bewildered, but obediently jumped in and subrged in the water.
Wufu laughed, took a dirty piece of clothing and rolled it to use as a brush. She first removed what he called ‘clothes’ and started scrubbing the mud off him.
The Wolf Child probably had never tried bathing like this before. His body was a bit stiff at first. As he watched Wufu, his wary and cautious eyes slowly softened.
“From now on, when following , you have to bathe like this every day to be a clean, good child, understand?” Wufu said as she scrubbed him.
The Wolf Child said nothing.
“You can’t speak at all? Do you rember my na?”
The Wolf Child hesitated for a mont, then opened his mouth: “Wu.”
“Yes, Wufu, that’s my na.” Wufu smiled at him, “How about you, do you have a na?”
The Wolf Child blinked, what was a na?
“A na is the word others use to call you, it represents your identity.” Wufu said, “You don’t have a na, shall I give you one? I have soone in my family nad Liu Jin, you could be called Xiao Qi. From now on, when I call you Xiao Qi, you have to respond and co out. Say it with , Xiao Qi.”
“Xiao… Qi.” The Wolf Child said with great effort.
“That’s right. Xiao Qi is your na now.”
The Wolf Child showed the faintest of smiles, if pulling at the corners of his mouth could be called a smile.
“There’s no soap here, we’ll just have to wash with water for now. We can do a thorough wash later when we leave.” Wufu pulled him up.
She lit a torch and saw the child’s body covered in scars, large and small, blue, purple, healed and not healed. This could hardly be called a body anymore.
Wufu’s eyes grew hot, her tears scalding as they fell. She quickly turned her head away.
The Wolf Child, no, Xiao Qi was a bit stunned, not understanding why this pretty sister was acting this way. He felt a bit panicked, emitting low murmuring sounds from his throat, appearing a bit anxious and confused.
He reached out his hand as if to touch her, but then thought better of it and quickly drew it back.
“Let apply so dicine for you.” Wufu wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and took out the golden sore dicine she brought, asking him to sit down.
Xiao Qi obediently sat down, letting her sprinkle the items on his body with not even a flinch or shout of pain. He just stared straight at Wufu, as if the body wasn’t his.
Seeing this, Wufu felt even more pity. Only those who have experienced greater pain won’t regard this pain as significant.
But why is it that a child would grow up among wolves, adopting all the wolf-like traits, including running and hunting? And during this learning process, how many tis did he get hurt, how many tis did he brush with life and death’s edge? Just to survive and grow to this age?
