Chapter 207: Be a mount_1
“Let them all go back.”
Little Kingfisher arrogantly fluttered its small wings, showing off: “With this divine beast baby here, it’s a piece of cake to save a few people.”
Su Qingluo felt worried: “You can’t stay up all night either!”
“I’m fine.”
Little Kingfisher was confident: “I’ll let Old Turtle float in the water and wait for the rescue. It owes me a life. If it wasn’t for me driving it out from under the water, it would have been crushed to death by the broken stones from the breach.”
“Hehe, you have the nerve to say that.”
Su Qingluo was amused by its arrogant expression and teased with a smile: “You were just greedy and wanted turtle soup, that’s why you chased after it so relentlessly.”
“Hehe.”
Little Kingfisher did not deny its own little thoughts: “That was the initial plan, but seeing its willingness to save people, I decided to spare its life and let it be my mount. It’s quite fun to ride it while drifting through the water when I’m bored.”
“Hehe, you’re really good at playing.”
Su Qingluo laughed with curved eyebrows and eyes: “No wonder you’re always missing, your heart is wild.”
“Hehe.”
Little Kingfisher chuckled happily.
With the help of Little Kingfisher, Su Hu and the others could rest and didn’t have to risk the storm and raging flood to save people.
As night deepened, the people who had been suffering for a whole day gradually returned to their cave dwellings. Su Hu also brought the two children back to their temporary residence.
At this time, the cave with a diameter of about 100 meters was crowded with people.
There were as many as twenty children saved from the flood, ranging from three to eleven years old.
There were also some elderly people and injured adults who could not return to their homes on their own, so they stayed here.
Along with Su Hu’s family, there were 56 people lying in the cave, scattered all over the place.
Su Qingluo and Wang Meng had been soaked all day long. Fortunately, the heavy rain had washed away the mud and their clothes were relatively clean. Their wet hair stuck together in strands, tied up with a ribbon, not looking too disheveled.
“Benefactor!”
“Thank you, benefactor.”
As the three of Master Su Hu entered the cave, they were immediately greeted with grateful gazes.
Their deeds of saving people in the flood had spread among everyone and touched their hearts.
Survivors who were able to stay alive in the cave offered their sincere thanks. Even the clueless three-year-old children stopped crying and looked over pitifully.
“Sister.”
The little body of the Little Prince stumbling over stood out among them.
The little guy’s eyes were swollen from crying, his voice hoarse. He urgently ran over, not looking at his feet, tripping over someone lying on the ground and falling forward, landing face-first on the floor.
“Wuwu.”
The hard, broken stones pierced his palm, and he pouted in grievance. Unable to control his tears, they fell again.
“Xuan’er.”
With people lying all over the floor, Su Qingluo couldn’t step over them and had to keep dodging. She watched helplessly as he fell.
Her heart ached, and she ran over in three steps, scooping him up from the ground.
“Sister.”
Little Prince cried out for his sister, choking with sobs, his hoarse voice making everyone’s heart ache.
Su Qingluo unconsciously held his soft, cute little body tighter.
“Sister Yu left without a word this morning, and Xuan’er cried and chased after her, insisting on finding Sister. Fortunately, Grey Three pulled him back from the cave entrance. Otherwise, as an old wife, I really don’t know what to do.”
