Perhaps due to the severity of his injuries, the little boy took nearly a quarter of an hour to wake up. He looked dazedly at the people surrounding him, seemingly wanting to speak, but when he opened his mouth, no sound ca out.
Lan Ling gave him so water and asked, "Feeling better?"
The little boy nodded and softly asked, "Did you save ?"
Lan Ling replied, "Yes, so, kid, who exactly are you? How did you end up so injured in this ghostly place?"
Before the boy could answer, Bai Bai ran to his side and owed twice.
The boy, upon seeing Bai Bai, was sowhat surprised: "You’re okay, that’s great! Did you bring them to rescue ?"
Bai Bai nodded.
The boy grinned, reaching out to gently stroke its head: "Thank you!"
Bai Bai, however, with a guilty expression, shook its head.
Lan Ling... So, isn’t it proper to respond to your true savior’s question instead of ignoring him?
"Ahem," Lan Ling coughed twice as a reminder.
The boy looked towards Lan Ling, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Thank you for saving , my na is Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?" Lan Ling asked, "Is your surna Jiang?"
The boy shook his head: "My surna is not Jiang; I share my surna with my foster father, his surna is Han. He nad Jiangnan because he misses soone from Jiangnan."
Han Jing was a bit surprised: "What a coincidence, my father’s surna is also Han. Do you live in this forest? Or did you co in with soone? Where is your ho?"
Jiangnan nodded then shook his head, replying, "I live in this forest with my foster father. Around six years ago, my foster father found in this forest and taught to speak, read, and practice martial arts. So, I don’t know who I was before."
Ti has passed, and childhood mories are vague.
"Six years ago!" Han Jing felt sothing was off, but couldn’t pinpoint it. She continued, "How did you get injured? Why were your injuries so serious?"
Bai Bai began to ow at that mont.
Jiangnan looked at Bai Bai, speaking softly, "It’s not your fault."
Then he explained to Han Jing: "It’s like this: I went out today to find food and wandered off unintentionally. Then I saw it being chased by so wild beasts, so I saved it. But those beasts gathered many more beasts to surround us. We were no match for them; I got injured and let it escape to find my foster father for help."
"So that’s what happened." Han Jing nodded.
At this mont, Xiao Xue ca over to ask, "Brother, Bai Bai isn’t yours, right?"
Jiangnan asked confusedly, "Bai Bai?"
Xiao Xue nodded and pointed at Bai Bai.
"Oh, I only t it today." Jiangnan still didn’t quite understand what Xiao Xue ant.
Xiao Xue happily picked Bai Bai up, speaking to it, "Bai Bai, we helped rescue soone and I nad you. So, you’re mine now. I’ll take you ho; my ho is beautiful and I have lots and lots of delicious food, all for you. Is that okay?"
Bai Bai owed twice, glanced at the now awake Jiangnan, hesitated for a mont, and finally nodded towards Xiao Xue.
