422 Su Xiaowu
Su Xiaowu looked around and then stared at Li Guanfeng. “Then, can you send me home?”
Li Guanfeng held Su Xiaowu’s hand. “Where do you live?”
Su Xiaowu shook her head. “I don’t know. I can’t find my home. They left me behind. Grandmother will be sad if I can’t find my way back.”
Tears welled up in Su Xiaowu’s eyes. She cried. “I am so stupid. It’s been so long and I still haven’t found my home.”
Li Guanfeng’s heart ached. He wiped Su Xiaowu’s tears. “Xiaowu, don’t cry. I’ll help you find it, okay?”
Su Xiaowu blinked and looked at Li Guanfeng innocently. “If I can’t find it, how can you?”
Li Guanfeng smiled. “Because I’m very powerful. I know very powerful people, so I can find your house.”
Su Xiaowu’s stomach rumbled. She covered her stomach and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Li Guanfeng felt his heart soften. He wanted to give all the best things in the world to his Xiaowu.
Li Guanfeng reached out and patted Su Xiaowu’s head. “Xiaowu, wait. I’ll bring you something delicious.”
The porridge was ready. It was warm and thick. Su Xiaowu swallowed her saliva when she saw it. Li Guanfeng smiled and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
“Brother, have I seen you before?”
Su Xiaowu looked at Li Guanfeng and asked curiously. He looked unfamiliar, but why did she feel that she had seen him somewhere? It was as if she was not afraid of anything with him by her side.
Li Guanfeng smiled. “Perhaps we met in our previous lives.”
Su Xiaowu smiled innocently and said sweetly, “It’s not in my previous life. I saw you in my dream.”
Li Guanfeng’s hand paused. “I’ve also seen you in my dreams a lot of times.”
She had appeared in his dreams countless times, but after waking up, his heart felt empty. Time was the most torturous thing in the world. He had thought countless times about when they would reunite and what his Xiaowu would be like.
Now, he knew it, but his heart ached. His Xiaowu had suffered a lot.
Su Xiaowu reached out to touch Li Guanfeng’s face. She was puzzled. “Brother, why are you crying? Are you in pain? When I’m in pain, I cry. When I miss Grandmother, I also cry.”
Li Guanfeng smiled. “Xiaowu, rest well. I’ll cook something delicious for you.”
Su Xiaowu was a little hungry. “Okay.”
She yawned and hadn’t felt at ease in a long time. She didn’t have to be afraid or worry. Her stomach was also full. She was looking forward to the delicious food that Li Guanfeng would bring her.
After watching Su Xiaowu fall asleep again, Li Guanfeng went out.
Li Guanfeng, who had always handled government affairs on time, did not attend to it today.
Ligui and Liming came to the backyard and looked at Li Guanfeng, who was chopping up the chickens and ducks. Their minds were filled with confusion.
What was happening to Li Guanfeng? Yesterday, he couldn’t even bear to kill a duck. Today, he killed four at once and was even smiling.
Ligui and Liming looked at each other. Ligui stepped forward and said, “Sir, you…”
Li Guanfeng rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms. He looked at Ligui and Liming. “You two, come and help.”
Ligui and Liming were speechless.
They sat down silently, feeling puzzled. Who was Li Guanfeng going to treat today?
The meat of the medium-sized chicken and duck was tender and extremely good.
It was processed very quickly.
Li Guanfeng’s expression was gentle. “Stew one, braise one, roast one, and the last one… I’ll ask Xiaowu how she wants to eat it.”
Liming could not help but ask. “Sir, Xiaowu…”
Who was this Xiaowu? Where did she come from? They had not even seen her before. Li Guanfeng seemed like he was possessed.
Li Guanfeng looked at Ligui and Liming. “There’s nothing much to do in the county office today. Help me do something else. Ligui, go to the Liu family again and ask Miss Liu to come over. Tell her that Xiaowu is back, but she’s not doing well. Ask her to come and take a look.”
“Liming, go prepare some ready-made clothes for six or seven-year-old girls. Buy a few more sets. Xiaowu needs to wear them when she wakes up.”
Ligui and Liming looked at each other and left silently.
“We’ve been at the county office the whole time and didn’t see anyone come. How did Xiaowu come back all of a sudden?”
Ligui frowned. He thought about it and still felt that something was wrong. He turned around and returned to the courtyard.
Liming frowned and followed him back to the courtyard. They pushed the door open and entered. They thought that they would see Li Guanfeng talking to himself, but they did not expect that there was really a little girl lying on Li Guanfeng’s bed.
The sound of the door opening seemed to have startled Su Xiaowu.
Su Xiaowu frowned. Li Guanfeng reached out and patted the back of Su Xiaowu’s hand and she relaxed a little.
Li Guanfeng heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ligui and LIming. “What’s the matter?”
Ligui and Liming quickly left and gently closed the door.
“Did you see it?”
Ligui felt that he was mistaken and could not believe it.
Liming nodded. “It’s not our place to interfere with his private matters.”
Ligui thought about it and agreed. They were worried that Xiaowu would hurt Li Guanfeng. As long as she was human, there was nothing to worry about.
Liming and Ligui went off to do their tasks.
Ligui arrived outside Liu Sanniang’s house and knocked on the door. When the door opened, he said to Liu Erlang, “I’m looking for Miss Liu.”
Liu Erlang led General Black out and shouted into the house. “Sanniang, someone came for you.”
Liu Sanniang came out and looked at Ligui.
Ligui looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, Xiaowu is back. I think there’s something His Lordship wants you to do.”
“Let’s go.” Liu Sanniang walked out.
When they arrived at the county office and entered the backyard, they could smell a strong fragrance coming from the courtyard. Ligui could not help but drool.
“His Lordship is really good to Miss Xiaowu.”
Ligui was envious. Others might not know, but he and Liming knew best how much Li Guanfeng treasured his chickens and ducks. It was not that they did not want to taste the poultry, but they didn’t have the opportunity.
Now they understood that these chickens and ducks might have been prepared for Xiaowu.
Liu Sanniang glanced at Ligui and walked into the courtyard without saying anything.
She heard Li Guanfeng’s voice from inside the house. “Be careful. Is it delicious?”
Ligui gulped. “Miss Liu, I still have something on. You can go in by yourself.”
He couldn’t stand the temptation of the smell.
Liu Sanniang stood outside the room and didn’t enter to disturb them. Li Guanfeng and Xiaowu had already reunited, but Xiaowu was not a baby, which Liu Sanniang found to be strange. After Li Guanfeng was done feeding Xiaowu, she entered.
