The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"Bai Ju? Langya?"

Yun Nian called out a few times in a low voice, her voice echoing in the silent night, but no one responded.

This is not good. Did something happen to them? Yun Nian's whole body tensed up. He looked around vigilantly and planned to retreat, at least to a safe place, and wait until he found the two people.

But soon, she had no time to think about it, because she heard a thin, fragile cry, and listening carefully, it seemed a little familiar.

But the crying sound was too faint, Yun Nian was not sure where it came from.

She took a few steps forward. The quiet moonlight poured down on the not-so-big enclosure. Even the stone slabs seemed to glow.

Oh, right, the cage! Do we have to move the cage too? Yun Nian felt a little strange. She stood where Erqi's cage was before. There was only a smooth-looking stone slab.

"There is a small cave under the stone slab."

She remembered what Erqi said, so she touched it, but the moment she touched it, her fingers couldn't help but tremble.

"It's so cold..."

It was like touching a piece of ice. She looked up at the moon hanging quietly in the sky. The crescent moon was missing a corner and was partially covered by clouds, which gave her a feeling of holding a lute and half covering her face.

Is this an illusion? Deserts are supposed to be very hot.

However, she was sure that she had found the source of the crying. She bent her body slightly. The stone slab was not heavy. She moved it to the side, revealing a dark hole.

The crying suddenly stopped. Yun Nian lay on the ground in an indecent manner, stretched her head to look, and met a pair of dark eyes.

"Hiccup~"

Perhaps frightened, the child who had just stopped crying hiccuped uncontrollably, and then his face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"It's you?"

Yun Nian didn't seem to realize that he was the culprit who caused others to hiccup, and still greeted them with a smile.

"Um...can you come out for a moment? I want to see what's inside."

She spoke with confidence, which made the children inside a little at a loss. What on earth was this strange sister talking about?

“%￥”

"Oops, I forgot he couldn't understand."

The bright girl slapped her head in annoyance, and then a light flashed in her eyes.

"You, here."

She spoke in a short, awkward sentence in Colloquial language, pointing to the ground beside her.

"I, there."

As he spoke, he gestured with his fingers. Yun Nian felt that he was really too smart. How could he be so smart?

Perhaps because he saw that the sister did not have any dangerous aura, the little boy hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his arms with great effort and waved them forward a few times.

Yun Nian grabbed the flailing arms and pulled him out of the cave.

"Huh, I'm almost out of strength. How did you get in there? Or did you not plan to come out after getting in there?"

If he hadn't discovered it by chance, the little boy would have been stuck inside, right? Wouldn't that mean he would be dead?

She shook her head and decided not to dwell on it. Instead, she gently pushed the person blocking the entrance to the cave, and then she looked inside. It was too dark. Fortunately, Yun Nian had a night-shining pearl given to her by Fuqiu.

The faint light illuminated that small area. The boy next to him took a curious look and then squeezed over.

"It's just an ordinary cave? There's nothing in it..."

Yun Nian retracted his head and sat directly on the stone slab, saying in a distressed tone,

The little boy still looked a little curious, but his eyes were still alert.

"Why didn't you run away this time?"

The girl said this with some amusement, and then took out a cake wrapped in oil paper and handed it to the little boy.

"Here, this was originally meant for Erqi, but you got it for free."

Poor little kid, she doesn't have much flesh on her face. According to Yun Shuo, her face was chubby when she was little, and everyone who saw her wanted to pinch it.

Thinking of this, Yun Nian thought of the children who were treated as pets, and sighed helplessly.

The little boy stared at the pancake without blinking, a look of struggle flashing in his eyes, but the rumbling sound of his stomach would not lie, so he finally grabbed it with force, sniffed it lightly at the tip of his nose, and began to wolf it down.

"Slow down, I don't have any water with me. I won't help you if you choke."

As he was talking, the little boy started to cough violently, probably because he ate too quickly. He pounded his chest hard and swallowed hard.

After a while, he licked his lips and looked back at this strange woman.

"How old are you?"

Yun Nian stretched out her finger.

"One year old? No, that's impossible. Three years old?"

She stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of him. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he could guess it by combining the previous two words.

"Are you asking me how old I am? If I remember correctly, I should be four years old..."

He stretched out four fingers, and there were scars on his short fingers from being rubbed by thorns and stones.

"Eh? Four years old, you look so young. I guess you're so skinny because you didn't eat enough. Do you know your name?"

Yun Nian gestured, but unfortunately she didn't know how to say "name" in Keluo language. She could only scratch her head and try to make the person in front of her understand.

Finally, I couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, let him ask when we find the wolf fang. Now, I will give you a name."

She looked around and saw the green grass on the ground. Her eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll just call you Xiaocao. Does it sound like a girl's name? Whatever, I'll just call you that for now."

She was dancing and laughing by herself, but Cao'er beside her didn't know what she was so excited about. Finally, she couldn't help but ask,

"what do you want to do?"

"Hey, why did you suddenly separate from them?"

"What's your purpose?"

"I should have brought two cakes. What will Erqi do later?"

The two of them were talking about their own things, neither of them could understand what the other was saying, but Yun Nian was immersed in his own world.

Seeing this scene, the little boy was at a loss.

He still wanted to eat that kind of cake, wondering if this sister still had it, but if you want to eat, you have to pay, this is something he had learned a long time ago,

It seemed that she was very interested in where she was hiding.

Cao Er stood up, gently pushed Yun Nian, and then reached in and groped around.

"Rumble..."

A slight sound was heard, and Yun Nian's ears keenly caught the movement, and he looked at him with some surprise.
