After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 404 Return to the Inn

"Yeah, if anyone dares to bully me in the future, I will hang him on the tree. Hahaha, he won't be able to come down." Xia Mo said this and he was actually a little excited.

Ling Chuan smiled and said, "Then I'll pass you the rope? In case he falls accidentally."

Xia Mo's eyes lit up, "This is great!" The husband followed his lead!

The two chatted about this and that, rested when they were tired and ate when they were hungry, and they left the space and returned to the inn the next day.

Because Xiao Anyu, Liu San and the others are still waiting for them to return. As for the conspiracy between Cangwu and Xuanyue to seize Dayuan, they have to think carefully and cannot act rashly.

Lingyun County, in the inn room.

Xiao Anyu sat on the stool like a silent old man, facing the door, staring at it intently.

After a while, there was a sudden movement at the door. His two sapphire-like eyes brightened instantly, and his little hands subconsciously clenched.

However, when the door opened, the person who came was not the uncle he wanted to see the most... Xiao Anyu lowered his head and closed his eyes, feeling very lost.

Will the uncles really come back? This question lingers in Xiao Anyu's mind every minute of every day.

Liu San was holding a bag of food in his hand, and he scratched his head when he saw the child's reaction.

In just a few days, he had no idea how many times he had seen the child look at him like this.

Alas, it is really difficult to take care of a child, especially a child so sensitive like this. It is too difficult for him, a person with an even rougher heart, to take care of the child. If I had known earlier, I would have let someone else take care of the child.

Thinking of this, he walked over, and when he sat down, he put the things in his hand on the table, and then said dryly: "This is for you, meat buns, hot, with lots of stuffing and thin skin, and it's tender."

Xiao Anyu turned around, looked up and said to Liu San, "Thank you, Uncle Liu, I'm not hungry yet," then lowered his head again.

"Are you really not hungry?" Liu San opened the outer layer of oil paper, and the aroma of the meat buns overflowed. Then he poured a glass of water for himself and the child.

"Are you thinking about the boss and the others?"

Liu San took the initiative to find a topic, raised his hand, grabbed a bun and started eating.

Xiao Anyu nodded after a long while. Although he didn't say anything, it was still a response. Liu San smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will come back."

He had already heard from Asheng and the others about what happened that night. It was not difficult. The boss and the master just went after that woman.

"I know." Uncle Liu and I made pinky promises. Xiao Anyu thought, but, he was afraid...

Liu San said "hmm", "If you know it, don't think about it. Eat." After that, he took a bun and stuffed it into his hand.

Xiao Anyu glanced at the bun in his hand, then quickly looked at his rough face, then began to eat silently, one bite at a time.

In fact, Xiao Anyu was not really hungry, but since Liu Sanren was tall and strong and ate a lot, he saw that the child only ate a little each time and was always worried that he would not be full, so he often went out to bring back some food.

Just like now, it’s only been an hour or so since the last meal.

There is a kind of hunger that I feel you are hungry, but Xiao Anyu doesn’t know how to refuse.

Liu San waited until he finished eating, then asked him if he wanted to go out for a walk to help digest the food instead of staying in the room all day.

Not surprisingly, Xiao Anyu refused, as he felt it was safer inside the house than outside.

Liu San didn't know what he was thinking, and it was not easy to force him, so he asked him to stay there and went out.

Xiao Anyu has been very well behaved. He didn't go anywhere and just waited in the room for people to come back.

When I get tired of waiting, I go to bed and take a nap. When I wake up, I start waiting again.

In the evening, Xiao Anyu heard movement at the door again. He couldn't help but think that it must be Uncle Liu again.

“Xiao Anyu, Uncle Liu and Uncle Ling are back!”

When the door was opened, a voice he really wanted to hear came from the doorway.

When he looked up, he saw the smiling Uncle Liu and Uncle Ling holding a bunch of things walking towards him. His eyes widened instantly.

Seeing the silly boy, Xia Mo walked up to him, raised his hand and stroked his head, then smiled and said, "Do you remember us?"

Xiao Anyu raised his head, then choked up and said "hmm", jumped off the stool and said: "Remember, you are Uncle Liu and he is Uncle Ling."

"Well, that's great." Xia Mo praised him, "We brought you a gift, come and see if you like it."

Xiao Anyu let him lead the way, and he liked the thing without even taking two looks at it.

Xia Mo and Ling Chuan both heard that there was something wrong with his voice and looked at each other.

“?” Are you crying?

“……” should be.

So Xia Mo put down what he was holding, grabbed Xiao Anyu's two little arms and asked, "By the way, uncle just came back, and I haven't had time to take a good look at whether Xiao Anyu has grown taller or gained weight."

As he spoke, he squatted down, his eyes suddenly met the child's eyes that were a little tearful, and he immediately said "Aiya", as if he had just discovered that something was wrong with him, and asked him softly: "What's wrong, Xiao Anyu? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Anyu was already on the verge of holding back his tears, and with Xia Mo's concern for him, tears rolled down his cheeks.

Well, crying is better than not crying at all. In his mind, if you can vent, you shouldn’t hold it in.

It’s one thing to think about, but you still have to coax her.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Tell your uncle, okay?" Xia Mo asked while helping him wipe his tears.

Xiao Anyu didn't want to cry, but he couldn't stop his tears. Would he be disliked by his uncles?

When I thought about it, my tears started to flow even more and I subconsciously lowered my head to avoid being seen.

Wow, I really hate myself for being like this.

Xiao Anyu looked very flustered and scared, and Xia Mo and Ling Chuan could see it at a glance.

But if you think about it more, you can guess that it might be because there has been no news from the two of them for several days, and children have no sense of security.

Xia Mo put down his hand and said patiently: "Then uncle asked, can you nod or shake your head?"

Xiao Anyu sniffed, nodded and said "hmm", and stretched out his right hand to grab Xia Mo's sleeve.

Seeing this, Xia Mo smiled and was willing to communicate. He did not retreat into his shell, so the problem should not be serious. He then said, "First question, is Xiao Anyu feeling unwell?"

Under the gaze of the two adults, Xiao Anyu shook his lowered head.

"Very good, then the second question is, did Uncle Liu bully our little An Yu?"

Xiao Anyu shook his head even faster, as if he was afraid that if he reacted a second slower, his uncles would misunderstand him.

Xia Mo couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips, and he glanced at the man above him with his peripheral vision, with a somewhat smug expression as if to say, "You see, as long as I take action, nothing is a problem."

Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and he gave him an appreciative look.

But I thought in my heart that the boy was really good at coaxing children, and it would not be difficult to have a baby in the future.

Xia Mo didn't know that the man's smile contained a lot, and he withdrew his gaze when he got a response.

Looking at the crying child again, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

So he said to Xiao Anyu: "Neither, then you are missing your uncles?"

Xiao Anyu's body tensed up instantly after being told half his thoughts. He bit his lip before nodding and saying in a muffled voice, "Yeah, I do."

Not only do I miss them, I'm also afraid that I'll never see my uncles again...

Xia Mo curled his lips and said, "The uncles miss you too." Then he looked up at the man, "Isn't that right, Brother Chuan?"

"Yes." Ling Chuan showed no emotion.

But when Xiao Anyu heard with his own ears that they all said they missed him, his pupils dilated and his little heart seemed to be supported by something warm and soft.

He couldn't help but look up.

Uncle Liu is laughing...

She was finally willing to look him in the eye, and Xia Mo was not willing to let go of this opportunity.

"Uncle, can you please ask Xiao Anyu one last question? Xiao Anyu must answer uncle seriously." Xia Mo said in a serious tone.

Seeing his uncle suddenly become serious, Xiao Anyu quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, "Okay."

The tears were so annoying that they blocked his vision and he couldn't see clearly.

Xia Mo stood up, moved the stool, and pulled him to sit facing Ling Chuan.

"Brother Chuan, you should sit down too. If you stand, we will have to look up at you, and our necks will be useless."

With just one glance, Ling Chuan knew what the young man wanted to do, so he followed him and sat down.

Xiao Anyu was very uneasy, and his mind was filled with voices like "do you think your uncles hate him?"

"Xiao Anyu." Xia Mo called the child first, and when the child looked at him timidly, he continued: "Xiao Anyu, the uncles have negotiated the business and will go home soon, but we are worried about you being alone, so we discussed it and wanted to ask you, do you want to go with the uncles? Go to live in your hometown?"

The child is not very good at controlling his thoughts, and Xiao Anyu's expression changed several times just because of this sentence.

From astonishment to shock, from sadness to disbelief, everyone was finally stunned, staring at the two of them stupidly with their mouths open.

This reaction was quite amusing. Xia Mo felt itchy and touched his little face... Well, he had gained weight and his face was smoother. It seemed that Liu San took good care of him.

Ling Chuan took a look at the child and said, "Given your situation, it would be difficult for you to survive on your own. We are destined to be together. If you are willing, you can come back to Liujia Village with us and be registered as our adopted son. But I have also agreed in advance that we will eat together but not live together. Of course, I will not treat you unfairly."

Xiao Anyu was already stunned, and even his tears stopped. He didn't think Uncle Ling's words were unpleasant to hear, nor did he think there was anything wrong with them, but, he wanted to take him away... was it true?

Xia Mo bent down and closed the distance between him and the child, "Xiao Anyu, do you want to go home with us?"

Xiao Anyu opened and closed his mouth for a long while before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Go home?"

Xia Mo responded: "Yes, if you are willing, Uncle Ling and I will be your new family from now on."

Xiao Anyu's eyes flickered and he felt like he was dreaming.

Xia Mo also knew that this was too abrupt and he needed to give the child time to think about and accept it.

"Don't rush to answer. Xiao Anyu can think about it carefully first. If you don't want to go with your uncles, the uncles will help you find a good family. After all, you are still young..."

"Yes, I do!" Xiao Anyu said hastily, fearing that his uncle would change his mind if he spoke a little slower.

"Have you thought it through so quickly? If you agree, once you set off, your uncle won't send you back." Xia Mo teased.

"Yeah!" Xiao Anyu secretly encouraged himself, trying not to avoid his gaze and said, "I want to be with you and Uncle Ling. I can do a lot of work. When I grow up, I can do even more."

The child's eyes were watery and his face was full of seriousness, wanting the two uncles to believe what he said.

Xia Mo burst out laughing, and a hint of helplessness flashed in Ling Chuan's eyes.

"There should be some work. As a family, we naturally have to share some daily chores. However, Xiao Anyu is still a child. Growing up is the most important thing, so he doesn't need to do a lot of work."

Xiao Anyu opened his mouth and replied softly, "I will listen to my uncle."

"Well, that's very good." Xia Mo praised, and then asked Ling Chuan to take out the scar removal plaster.

Having heterochromia is already controversial, and if there is also a scar and a broken eyebrow, it would probably be even more controversial.

Since they have this ability, and little Anyu will be a member of their family in the future, why don’t they help him remove the scar?

"This is scar removal cream. Apply a little bit every day and it will disappear. This is a gift from your uncles this time. I heard it is very effective."

Xia Mo took out the bottle stopper and asked Xiao Anyu, "Can I help you apply it now?"

"Okay." Xiao Anyu nodded blankly.

"Then close this eye. Don't apply the ointment to the eye. Little Anyu, be careful when you apply it yourself in the future." Xia Mo scooped some ointment with his fingertips and reminded the child of precautions.

"Yeah." Xiao Anyu stood straight and closed one eye obediently.

The moment the cool ointment with a faint fragrance was applied, Xiao Anyu's heart trembled.

After Xia Mo helped him apply the ointment, he handed it to him.

Xiao Anyu held it very carefully, his eyes fixed on it the whole time, and he looked like he cherished it very much.

"Use it on time." Xia Mo said again, fearing that the child would be reluctant to use it.

"Yeah." Xiao Anyu replied.

He is now able to respond to every question, and the two adults are in a good mood.

Since the children agreed, there was no need for them to stay in Lingyun County any longer.

However, as there was a child on the return trip, they could not ride horses back, so they bought a carriage.

On the day of leaving Lingyun County, Xiao Anyu still felt a little unreal when he sat in the carriage. He kept stealing glances at his two uncles, with whom he had a very close relationship, from time to time.

It’s not that Xia Mo and Ling Chuan didn’t notice it, but they pretended not to.

The reason is simple: as soon as they open their mouths, the child will easily become overly nervous and restless.

A few days later, the carriage, which had stopped and started frequently, finally approached Qinghe County.

Just as they were about to enter the city, Xia Mo took out the potion given by Yingying and washed off the covering between his eyebrows, revealing the pregnancy mole.

When Xiao Anyu saw this, his eyes widened into the size of copper bells.

Xia Mo smiled, "What happened to Xiao Anyu?"

"Uncle looks very much like the little dad my grandfather talked about." Xiao Anyu replied blankly.

Xia Mo touched his forehead and said, "It is true that they are similar. Uncle didn't mean to hide it from Xiao Anyu. Don't be angry, Xiao Anyu."

Xiao Anyu shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm not angry." Then he turned to look at Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan: "Just say what you want to say."

Xiao Anyu hesitated and looked at him again: "Uncle Ling too?"

"Hahaha!" Xia Mo burst out laughing on the spot, staggering from side to side, and finally fell directly on Ling Chuan.

Xiao Anyu was confused and blinked innocently, not understanding why Uncle Liu suddenly laughed. He turned to look at Uncle Ling, but saw that he raised his hands to protect Uncle Liu with a helpless look.
