Travel through the city of orcs

Claude was injured too badly, so he didn't wake up very much and fell asleep constantly. Cheng Chi didn't say a word to him until now, but Cheng Chi's injury healed very quickly. He felt that the herbal medicine Barry applied to him was quite good. it works.

This day, Barry came to change the dressing for Claude as usual, and Cheng Chi stood by and watched. Every time he saw the large and small wounds on Claude's body and the hideous gash on his abdomen that had not yet fully healed, he would involuntarily think of that. On a thrilling night, I remembered the scene of Claude lying motionless in the blood-soaked snow.

"After three days, you don't need to apply medicine anymore. It depends on Claude's own recovery ability. During this period, don't move around or do any drastic actions to prevent the wound from opening again. It's best to lie on the bed and rest. When he is awake, feed him more food to restore his strength and promote wound healing, and it will inevitably be a little itchy when the wound heals, don't let him scratch it with his claws, you know?" Barry's words brought Cheng Chi back to his senses, He looked at the serious old man and nodded quickly, "Yes, I see."

The old man nodded, turned around and packed the herbs and some tools for wound treatment he brought, and went downstairs accompanied by Cheng Chi.

Walking to the door, the old man stopped, turned his head, looked at Cheng Chi for a while, and then said, "Don't think too much, take care of your wounds, you have to give the people in the town time to sort out their thoughts and accept you, I know You are a good boy."

Unexpectedly, the serious old man who has always been unsmiling would say such words. Cheng Chi was a little dazed, and then his eyes became hot, and he nodded vigorously, "I know, thank you."

The old man patted Cheng Chi on the shoulder, turned and left.

Cheng Chi walked upstairs slowly, pushed open the door of the room where Claude was, and wanted to clean up the herbs that Barry had just replaced from Claude, but met Claude's bright dark green eyes .

"Are you awake?" Cheng Chi froze for a moment, then said in a daze.

"Hmm." Claude smelled the fresh herbs on his body and asked, "Did Barry come here just now?"

"Yes, Mr. Barry just left," Cheng Chi said, walked to sit next to Claude, looked at whether the bandage he had bandaged his wound had loosened, and then asked, "Do you feel better now?" ? Is there any discomfort?"

The panther blinked, "No, but I'm a little thirsty."

Hearing what Claude said, Cheng Chi quickly stood up, "Then wait a moment, I'll get you some water."

Claude responded and watched Cheng Chi's back disappear at the door. Although the matter had been over for several days, Claude, who just woke up now, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it's okay, it's okay He's fine.

On that snowy night, when Claude saw Cheng Chi thrown to the ground by a hyena, and saw the dazzling blood splashed on the ground, at that moment, all the blood in his body seemed to freeze, There is only one thought left in my mind, Cheng Chi cannot be allowed to have an accident, absolutely not.

Claude couldn't explain why he was so angry, so angry that he wanted to bite off the throat of every hyena, want to crush the bones of every hyena, and even doing so couldn't extinguish his anger.

Maybe it was because he was too angry and confused, that's why he was attacked by those despicable bastards when he was going to stop a few hyenas from crashing into the ice cellar door.

No matter what, now Cheng Chi is still appearing in front of my eyes, and I am still alive, which is very good, really good.

Claude, who was happy from the bottom of his heart, watched Cheng Chi approach the room carefully carrying a plate of water, and put it in his mouth, "It's not very hot, drink it."

"Yeah." Claude grinned in response, but realized that Cheng Chi probably couldn't see that he was smiling now, so he lowered his head and stuck out his tongue to drink water.

Claude, who was full of water, watched Cheng Chi put the plate away and sat back beside him. He looked at Cheng Chi's still not so agile movements, and asked, "How is your wound?"

Cheng Chi, who had just sat down on the chair, stretched out his hand to support his shoulder and smiled, "He's recovering pretty well, Mr. Barry's medical skills are very good, how about you? Does the wound hurt?"

Seeing the smile on Cheng Chi's face, Claude also had a smile in his eyes, "It doesn't hurt, as you said, Mr. Barry's medical skills are very good."

Cheng Chi heard Claude answering himself with what he said, and couldn't help but chuckle, Claude also squinted his eyes and flicked his tail.

Cheng Chi looked at Claude in a good mood, and felt a little happier.

Claude looked around and asked, "Where's Ian?"

"Huh?" Cheng Chi looked at Claude and replied, "Just now Jerome came to ask him to go out to play."

Claude nodded, and continued, "Have you scared Ian these days?"

"Well," Cheng Chi nodded, thinking of Ian who had been avoiding him for the past few days, he couldn't help showing a trace of sadness on his face, "I was terrified, but now I'm slowly recovering."

"What's wrong with you?" Claude, who had been looking at Cheng Chi's face, noticed the change in his expression and asked.

"Eh?" Cheng Chi didn't know why Claude suddenly asked, "Me? I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"No," Claude shook his head, "You are unhappy, did something happen?"

Cheng Chi met Claude's deep dark green eyes looking directly at him, his heart trembled suddenly, and he turned his head unnaturally, "No, I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Is it related to Ian?" Claude asked tentatively, thinking that it was the mention of Ian Cheng Chi that suddenly became depressed.

Cheng Chi froze for a moment, then shook his head, "No, Ian is fine."

Keenly aware that Cheng Chi's mood was getting worse and worse, Claude stretched out his tail and swept Cheng Chi's hand on the bed, and when he saw him looking at him again, he said, "Ah Chi, your expression tells me No, Ian is my child and if he does something to make you unhappy, it is my duty as his dad to apologize for him."

Cheng Chi looked at Claude with a persistent expression, and felt that he seemed a little different from before, but he couldn't tell the difference. When he saw Claude staring into his eyes, Cheng Chi suddenly wanted to Telling Claude about the boredom in his heart, Cheng Chi thought so, and did the same.

"Yes, you are his daddy, but he doesn't want me to be his daddy anymore." Cheng Chi said this with some frustration.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, the answer he got would be like this, and Claude's expression became serious, "How could this be, did something happen?"

Cheng Chi and Claude talked about the fact that Ian knew the truth that night, and about the conversation he had with Ian. Finally, Cheng Chi said with some frustration, "Ian probably felt that I deceived him, so he hid I, I don't blame him at all, because I did hide the truth from him..."

"No, you are not wrong. Such a long time is enough to prove your true love for Ian. What you have done to Ian these days, the care and love you have given him, is even more than what my father has done Duo, compared to you, I am more like an incompetent father. Therefore, I have always been very grateful to you." Claude interrupted Cheng Chi, telling himself that he was watching Cheng Chi's contribution to Ian and his own Thanks in my heart.

Claude looked at Cheng Chi with warm eyes and continued, "At the beginning, you were not obliged to comfort the sad Ian, but you did, which is already remarkable. Ian will understand, please don't be disappointed in him, okay? "

Cheng Chi nodded without hesitation, "Of course, Ian is just a child, he needs time to figure out these things, of course I will not be disappointed in him, he is a good boy."

Claude opened his mouth again, he lowered his head and licked Cheng Chi's palm, "Thank you."

And Cheng Chi's face turned slightly red because of Claude's intimate gesture.

At this time, Ian, the central figure in the conversation between Cheng Chi and Claude, was sitting with Jerome on the swing in Jerome's house, his face full of thoughts.

"What's wrong with you, Ian?" Jerome looked at Ian who was sitting next to him, who was just dumbfounded, and hooked Ian's hanging black tail with his little tail.

Ian turned his head and glanced at Jerome, who was looking at him with concern, and sighed, "Jerome, I'm so annoying."

"Huh? What's bothering you? Are you worried about your father's injury?" Jerome thought for a while and patted Ian's shoulder boldly, "Grandpa Barry said that your father will recover after a period of rest. Don't worry too much!"

"I know Grandpa Barry is amazing," Ian shook his head, "but that's not what bothers me."

"Then what bothers you?" Jerome didn't understand now.

"You already know that Cheng Chi is not my Daddy?" Ian glanced at Jerome and said.

"Ah..." I didn't expect Ian to talk about this, Jerome froze for a moment, then nodded, "I know."

Ian sighed, his tail drooping listlessly, "When I think that he is not my Daddy, I feel weird in my heart, a little angry, a little disappointed, and a little sad."

"Then do you want him to be your Daddy or not?" Jerome had never encountered such a thing, so he couldn't give an answer, so he had to ask some other questions.

"Of course I want to!" Ian replied without thinking, but then his little tail drooped because of excitement, "But, he is not my Daddy, you know it too, the adults in the town It is said that my Daddy ran away from home, maybe he will come back in the future, what should I do at that time?"

"This..." Jerome was stumped by Ian's question. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to answer. He scratched his head a little irritably and muttered, "But he hasn't come back for so long. I think Mr. Cheng Chi is very good, he will make delicious food, he is gentle, he often takes you for a walk, and tells you many interesting stories, sometimes I think he is better than my Daddy , " Having said that, Jerome explained again, "Of course, my Daddy is also very, very good, but Cheng Chi is really good now."

Ian lowered his head when he heard Jerome's words, "I know, I like Da too... No, I mean I like Mr. Cheng Chi very much, the kind of liking I like very much, I also hope he is my Daddy, but if I let him be my Daddy, what should he do when my Daddy comes back? What about Mr. Cheng Chi? Can a child have two Daddys? ?”

"Stop!" Jerome, who was stunned by Ian's words, waved his small hand and intercepted Ian's words, "I think this question is too complicated, we should ask the adults! For example, you Go ask your dad, where is your real Daddy, is he coming back, and maybe you'll have an answer, don't you think?"

Hearing Jerome's suggestion, Ian thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.
