Chapter 992 - 992 992 Xiao Xiao is back
Chapter 992: Chapter 992: Xiao Xiao is back! Chapter 992: Chapter 992: Xiao Xiao is back! “Mom!” Liu Sisi’s whole body trembled at the call.
She turned around abruptly, looking toward the source of the voice!
Not far behind her stood a smiling teenager, it was Xiao Xiao!
Xiao Xiao was wearing a plain Daoist robe and seemed darker and more spirited than before, his eyes sparkling with life as he ran towards Liu Sisi with long strides.
“Mom! Xiao Xiao missed you.”
With that, Xiao Xiao threw himself into Liu Sisi’s arms, hugging her tightly.
Liu Sisi was so moved that she couldn’t speak; the moment before, she had lost everything, and now, she had the whole world.
She couldn’t stop caressing Xiao Xiao’s little body, from head to face to body, touching him carefully with her hands, too happy to utter a word.
“Xiao Xiao, my Xiao Xiao…”
“Mom, don’t cry. We should be happy to be reunited. Why are you crying! The ship I was on was delayed getting to the wharf, and Xiao Xiao was worried you had left. I came here on a whim to look for you, and luckily, I found you.”
Confronted with Liu Sisi, who was crying like a rain person, Xiao Xiao’s face was full of helplessness. Indeed, women are made of water.
“Xiao Xiao, just before, Niuniu… she went away with someone else… ”
Liu Sisi was overcome with tears. At this moment, she completely forgot that the Xiao Xiao standing in front of her was just a seven-and-a-half-year-old child, instead treating him as someone she could share her worries with, telling him the entire situation.
“She went with someone else? Mom, what happened? How could you let her just go with a stranger like that?” Xiao Xiao was curious and also anxious.
“No, no, not a stranger, it’s like this.”
That would take some explaining!
Even with Liu Sisi cutting the long story short, it still took a pot of tea’s time.
Xiao Xiao looked up to the sky, checking the time: “Mom! Niuniu has grown up too, didn’t you say it yourself before? When eagles grow up, they will spread their wings to fly. Their world is the vast blue sky, not the tiny nest that can trap them.”
“That’s true, but Niuniu… she’s a girl.”
Liu Sisi didn’t know how to explain.
“Mom, whether it’s me, Chou Chou, Niuniu, or big brother, Second Brother, Eldest Sister, they all have their own paths. No matter where we are, no matter how far we have traveled, we will always be your children. When it’s time to let go, Mom, just let go,” Xiao Xiao comforted his old mother softly.
He clenched his fist in his heart!
That damned old man had always said that his reunion with Mom would be at fifteen, yet this year, though Xiao Xiao had no tasks, his master sent him out early and had someone from the Sect wait here to deliver a letter to Mom. It was probably because the damned old man had long calculated this tribulation and had specifically sent him here to resolve it.
That meant his own divination skills were still not up to the mark!
He had lost to that damned old man once again!
He could almost anticipate the look of smug satisfaction on the old man’s face when they met next.
Well, considering he allowed him and Mom to reunite here, he would concede this round to the old man!
With that thought, he felt more at peace.
“Mom does wish to let go, but… as for Niuniu…”
“Oh mom! Children will have their own fortune; don’t worry about what others say. At present, time is running out. Is there anything else you want to tell me?”
Little Little looked up at the sky again, and as time gradually passed, he also felt a deep sense of reluctance in his heart.
Seeing Little Little’s actions, Liu Sisi felt an extraordinary dissatisfaction, yet she couldn’t bear to blame him: “Just two hours, you can’t even give me half a part of it? After all, it’s rare for you to come down from the hill. Let me treat you to a good meal.”
“Sure, Mom! Let’s hurry. Little little is already very hungry.”
Since Little Little was dressed in a Taoist Priest’s clothing at the moment, Liu Sisi had no choice but to take him to a larger restaurant that served vegetarian dishes nearby the wharf. Once the vegetarian dishes finally arrived, Little Little picked up the bamboo chopsticks and began to eat voraciously.
“Mom, you actually misunderstood. That damned old man doesn’t eat vegetarian food; he can eat a whole chicken in one meal—his appetite is huge.”
With chopsticks in his hand not stopping, Little Little spoke to Liu Sisi with clear enunciation while eating, and Liu Sisi couldn’t help but admire him, quickly took out a handkerchief from her arms, and diligently wiped his face.
“Don’t call him that, no matter what he is still your Master.”
After hearing Little Little’s words, Liu Sisi hurriedly ordered a few meat dishes and happily picked up the chopsticks to serve him.
“I clearly saw Taoist Master Zhu’s abilities back in the day. If you didn’t believe in him, why would you follow him to learn his eye skills?”
When Elder Daoist Zhu took action that year, everyone saw what happened. Even if it was exaggerated, it was apparent that he wasn’t seen as particularly impressive in teaching.
“That damned old man? He wouldn’t dare to trouble you. If he does, just beat him to within an inch of his life for me.” Little Little didn’t hold back any courtesy in his words.
Soon the meat dishes were served, and Liu Sisi stood up to help him fill a large bowl with meat.
“How can you talk about your Master like that? Take back what you said. As a junior, you need to learn proper conduct and must not become a good-for-nothing.”
“Alright, I got it! Stop nagging.”
Mumbling, Little Little ate the dishes with big bites, getting grease all around his mouth.
Liu Sisi merely tasted a few bites and then gestured for Xue Yi and her company to start their meal. She also bought two extra chickens and had the restaurant wrap up the dishes to give to Little Little.
“Eat these two chickens back on the ship. No rush.” Seeing Little Little wanting to protest, Liu Sisi promptly stopped him.
Two hours slipped away quietly, and Liu Sisi escorted Little Little to the wharf, wishing she could just keep him there.
“Your Dad has been injured and needs to rest in bed. Otherwise, he would have come to see you off today and could have seen you.” At that moment, things were also chaotic; even if he had wanted to save someone, it’s likely some would still have been left behind, there was no one he could have saved.
Staring at the two well-wrapped chickens, Little Little was speechless and choked up, his eyes immediately turning red: “Mom, your words are quite comforting, but it’s just that Little Little was too late to visit him. It’s getting late, and I should board the ship now.”
“You better go, I’m not scared…”
Waving her hand, she couldn’t help noticing the many others saying their farewells around her. Were they all looked down upon like this?
“Mom, it was by accident that I could come this time. If they intentionally target you in the future, remember to seek more protection from others.” Still reluctant, Little Little had no choice but to board the large ship, which was riding low in the water and trembled slightly incessantly.
