As Yu An was about to leave, he bumped into the old zombie man who was leading a small team in. The old zombie man must have been living a good life, because his face looked much younger than before.
The two met face to face, and the old zombie even stopped. He recognized Yu An: "Long time no see."
Yu An wasn't in the mood for pleasantries, but seeing that he had already spoken, she could only give a perfunctory "hmm".
Seeing that he was there, the old zombie casually asked, "Has Xie Chiyuan returned?"
Yu An nodded: "He's back. He's busy."
The old zombie chuckled, "I have something to discuss with him. If he's busy, I'll go later."
Yu An's eyelids twitched inexplicably, and he asked, "What do you want with Xie Chiyuan?"
The old man knew about his relationship with Xie Chiyuan and didn't hide it from him: "I'm able to cooperate with humans thanks to Xie Chiyuan's connections."
"I'd like to ask Xie Chiyuan if I could form a zombie squad. I'll keep them under control and prevent them from harming humans."
Yu An frowned: "Did you bring up this suggestion with Chief Yin?"
The old man smiled helplessly and glanced at the superhumans following behind him. These superhumans claimed to be helping him, but in reality, they were just watching him.
He stated frankly, "Chief Yin's acceptance of me is not as high as Xie Chiyuan's."
Therefore, Chief Yin had already rejected his proposal.
The two stood facing each other, very close. The old man suddenly said to him very softly, "Chief Yin not only has a low acceptance of zombies, but also seems to have some reservations about other things."
Only the two of them could hear this.
After the old man finished speaking, he left with the superhumans.
Yu An glanced at his retreating figure before looking away. He called to Seven and Nine, "Hurry up and search, Six won't have flown too far."
"Um!"
The cubs searched diligently, finding the transparent mycelium released by Xiao Jiu everywhere.
Seven has encountered a minor problem.
He had originally intended to ask some honest questions, but instead encountered a weed with a dirty mouth. Plants can communicate with each other; the once fickle little weed has now been raised into a delicate little weed.
My little darling, you absolutely cannot let him get scolded.
When Qi Zai got angry, he argued with the dirty-mouthed weed under the stone for half an hour.
As the insults continued, Seven gradually developed murderous intent.
Just as he was about to go pull the weeds, the cowardly weed wilted and, ever the flexible one, pointed out a way to Seven: "The butterfly you're looking for crashed. It was flying along when it suddenly fell down. Go pick it up now; you might even be able to get a specimen to take back."
Seven: "..."
Okay.
Let's not kill them yet.
Chapter 129
Just a second before it was about to be plucked, the swearing grass managed to save itself. Its leaves pointed in a direction, signaling the nasty grass in front of it to hurry up and leave.
Seven stood up and relayed what the swearing grass had said to his eldest brother.
After listening, Yu An looked down at the direction of the grass blades. Then, he strode westward.
There's plenty of vegetation in this area, and the "dirty grass" only gave them a direction. They'll have to carefully search for the exact location where the little butterfly crashed.
"Seventh Child, Ninth Child, look carefully. Sixth Child is smaller, and you might easily miss him if you're not paying attention."
"good!"
The kids searched very diligently, because they could tell that their eldest brother was very anxious.
Yu An was also slowly searching.
It's been raining a lot lately. This morning it was sunny, but now it's starting to drizzle. The raindrops pattered on the grass and trees, and they also touched Yu An's heart.
Yu An's movements became increasingly hurried. He kept brushing aside the grass, his eyes filled with anxiety.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Xiao Jiu suddenly exclaimed, "Found it!!!"
Yu An and Qi Zai immediately went to look, and when they saw a small butterfly lying quietly at the base of a thorn bush, they both reached out to reach it.
"It has thorns."
Yu An didn't let them reach for it. Instead, she bent down and carefully picked up the little butterfly that had fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, the leaves above provided some shelter, so the little butterfly wasn't soaked too much.
Yu An didn't bother to stand there and help him clean up; she just carried him back the way they came. On the way, Qi Zai said to him, "Big brother, ever since we came out, someone has been following us. Doesn't sister-in-law trust us?"
Qi Zai had absolutely no connection with Xie Chiyuan; in fact, not long ago, he had even been cursing Xie Chiyuan on the forum.
Therefore, after what happened at noon today, Qi Zai naturally felt that Xie Chiyuan was suspicious of them.
Yu An had already noticed the people following them, but he didn't care: "Don't worry about it, let's just go back as soon as possible."
He had no say in the affairs of the West District.
But he believed that Xie Chiyuan would handle all of this well.
Soon, they returned to the hospital. Yu An went to Ruan Ke's place and brought back the two cubs that had been pawned there.
Upon seeing Yu An, Ruan Ke immediately asked, "Have you found Sixth Son?"
Yu An nodded and showed him the weak little butterfly. Its wings were covered in mud, making it look pitiful.
Ruan Ke handed Yu An a clean handkerchief and asked him to wrap the little butterfly in it.
"An'an, why did Six-Eyed Fly away suddenly?"
Ruan Ke still had no idea why Little Butterfly had left. Moreover, now that some people had raised doubts about Little Butterfly, he needed to know the reason in order to refute those doubts.
"I had a fight with Liu Zai."
Yu Anxin had a sudden thought, and for some reason, he suddenly came up with an excuse. He didn't tell the real reason, only that the two of them had a fight.
Ruan Ke didn't know whether he believed it or not.
Anyway, after Yu An finished speaking, he was silent for a few seconds before continuing in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you and the kids these next few days. You should stay in your room and try not to go out."
"The base is not safe right now. Wait until things calm down before you come out."
Yu An had no objections. At this critical juncture, all he could do was keep the kids out of trouble and avoid causing any problems for anyone.
Ruan Ke glanced at the little butterfly again.
He pressed his temples hard, his tone somewhat apologetic: "An'an, I said before that I would treat Liu Zai as soon as possible, but now it may have to be delayed."
Yin Qin was still lying in the ward, and Ruan Ke was in no condition to treat Xiao Hudie.
Yu An had already found a way to help Little Butterfly recover, so he wasn't in a hurry at all. He comforted Ruan Ke, "It's okay, mutants have a strong self-healing ability. Maybe in a few days, Six-Zai will be fine on his own."
After he finished speaking, he added softly, "Uncle Ruan, you must take care of yourself too. Uncle Yin will definitely wake up."
Ruan Ke forced a smile and replied, "Yes, he is in good physical condition, and I believe he will wake up."
Yu An didn't bother Ruan Ke too much. After bringing his own children back, he took them all back to the room. The room had a living room and a bedroom, so it wasn't too small for them.
Once inside the room.
Yu An quickly tidied up the little butterfly, gently wiping it clean before placing it in a small, padded box.
"Big brother."
Seven and Nine both guessed what he was going to do. They looked at Little Butterfly and asked, "Six, is that why, Six?"
Yu An nodded.
They all know why.
Only Bazai and Qiuqiu remained bewildered. Bazai disliked riddles, and he glared at the people speaking in riddles, his anger rising: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with Liuzai? I don't understand a word you're saying!"
Chirp chirp, burdened: "I don't understand either."
Yu An didn't want them to know yet, as the two cubs probably didn't know what was mixed into the nutrient solution. If they found out now, it might be difficult to feed them later.
"nothing."
Yu An insisted, "I'm taking Liu Zai to the bedroom to rest. You guys can play in the living room. If you feel it's too crowded here, you can go next door."
Next door is Xie Chiyuan's room, and Yu An also has a key to it.
He put the key to the next room on the coffee table, then took the little butterfly into the bedroom. After going in, he locked the door behind him.
The cubs' eyes all fell on the locked door.
Qiuqiu tugged at Qizai's arm and gave him a little kiss. So he looked at Qizai and asked, "What is Big Brother doing? I think Big Brother is acting strange these days."
Seven cleared his throat.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to tell Qiuqiu what his older brother forbade him to say. Between friendship and his older brother, he firmly chose the latter.
"Big brother should take Qiuqiu to rest, didn't he say that?"
After finishing his rambling, Seven immediately changed the subject: "Oh right, Chuchu, I have something else to show you. Let's go next door first, it's probably bigger there."
After coaxing Qiuqiu, Qizai looked at Bazai.
He frowned slightly, and then took Bazai with him: "I brought a game console, Bazai. With so many tentacles, what rank can you reach in games?"
Under provocation, Bazai was successfully taken away.
Hearing the sounds coming from the living room, Yu An felt a little more relaxed.
He lowered his head and gently stroked the little butterfly soothingly, his voice low but firm: "Little one, we'll be alright soon. Be good, hang in there a little longer."
Yu An now only feels regret.
He always thought he had lost useless memories, so he never thought about how to get them back.
If he had known sooner, his baby could have received treatment on the island.
So much suffering over the past few days could have been avoided...
