New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

"What? Ahem, where did those people come from? Ahem, hey, stinky uncle, where are you going to take me?"

Xiaoyanzi never thought that she was abducted for no reason when she was just being taken by her royal father to offer sacrifices to the gods.

She never thought that she was just hungry and wanted to eat something. She just said that she wanted the man who kidnapped her for no reason to cook her a meal, and then the man accidentally blew up the kitchen.

What she didn't expect was that after this man blew up the kitchen and even set it on fire, he would just ignore her and carry her sideways and walk out of the capital, not caring whether the fire behind the kitchen would spread to other places?

However, she seemed to see some people in black clothes rushing out and starting to put out the fire? Where did those people come from?

She wanted to ask a question, but the other party was holding her and running very fast. Because the other party's flying speed was too fast, she was easily choked by the wind when she opened her mouth, and her speech was intermittent.

Duanmu Qing felt that she was a little uncomfortable, so he took the time to hug her in his arms, and his voice floated with the wind, "Don't move, uncle will take you to Qingyun Pavilion to play, don't rush home. Don't worry, we have many children in Qingyun Pavilion who can play with you. It's also very fun there, and there are many good-looking uncles and aunts."

Xiaoyanzi wanted to cry but had no tears. She didn't want to look for any uncles or aunts. She just wanted to go home and play with her friends. However, she leaned gently in Duanmu Qing's arms. He blocked the wind from her face, which made her feel inexplicably safe, but also made her speechless.

Perhaps it was because the man carried her away without hesitation when they were in danger that made her develop a little trust in him. Although this strange uncle was strange in an inexplicable way, she did not hate him very much. If he had not caused the Xiao family to be destroyed, she thought, she should be willing to call him uncle and go to Qingyun Pavilion with him to play.

Well, whether she is willing or not, she has to go to Qingyun Pavilion. She has no choice. So let it be. She lies down, too lazy to think too much.

After a whole day of running around, the man's arms felt warm. Even with a burnt smell, she could feel an inexplicable sense of security. Xiaoyanzi closed her eyes sleepily and nestled in his arms without moving.

Forget it, since struggling is useless, she might as well enjoy it for the time being, so she gradually fell asleep in his arms with the wind blowing on her butt.

Duanmu Qing took the time to look at the little girl who had calmed down in his arms. He saw that she had actually fallen asleep in his arms. Her quiet and lovely appearance made him reveal a hint of tenderness in his eyes. This little girl was actually quite cute.

I don’t know how long I slept. When Xiaoyanzi woke up, it was already dark. The sesame cake she had nibbled on earlier had been digested, and she felt her stomach rumbling again.

She couldn't help but yawn, and she continued to protest with a little more energy, "Where are we? How far is it? Where are you going to take me? You are such a bad uncle, you actually kidnapped a child."

Duanmu Qing, who had been flying for most of the day, saw that the little girl started calling him bad uncle as soon as she woke up. He was not angry when the little girl called him bad uncle. He thought that the little girl was quite interesting, and he felt a little guilty about her. Besides not wanting to send her home, he also wanted to take her in as his apprentice.

"You must be hungry. I'll take you to buy something to eat. There's an inn just ahead. Let's take a rest together."

Duanmu Qing slowed down his steps and used Qinggong to hurry on. He was a little tired after running for a long time and needed to take a rest. It was okay for him, but not for the child. Moreover, it was said that it was not good for children to walk at night.

Little Swallow nestled lazily in his arms, her big eyes rolling around as she looked around. This was probably a small town. It should be around dinner time, and the streets were relatively quiet. Only a few inns still had kerosene lamps on to illuminate the direction they were heading.

Duanmu Qing randomly found an inn, but when he saw the familiar layout, he was suddenly stunned, his walking movements became slow, and his mind was full of thoughts.

"Sir, are you here for a quick stopover or to stay overnight?"

The clever waiter, with a white towel draped around his neck, smiled and asked the guest holding the child, his eyes full of doubts.

The man was dressed in all black and his body was messy, as if he had been blown black by something. He looked quite strange. The little girl in his arms was wearing relatively expensive clothes, and it was obvious that she was not from an ordinary family. However, this child did not look like someone who had been abducted by a beggar, because this child was not afraid of strangers at all when seeing people, and she was rolling around with her eyes wide open.

Look, well, it's quite cute.

The waiter called out several times, but the man didn't respond as if he was stupid. He almost thought that the man was deaf.

Xiaoyanzi was just looking at the layout of the inn, wondering where it was. She had traveled a lot in her previous life and had some experience, but she really couldn't remember which town this inn was in.

After hearing the waiter yell several times but the man didn't respond, Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but reach out and poke the man's shoulder, saying in a clear voice, "Stupid uncle, wake up, I'm asking you a question."

Duanmu Qing came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly at the waiter, "Stay in the hotel, please bring some hot water, if there are any clothes, I will buy a set, and also, prepare some signature dishes for us."

After saying that, he put Xiaoyanzi on the ground, let her stand beside him, and reached into the purse at his waist to take out money. As a result, when he was taking out the silver, he accidentally touched a gold ingot inside. He subconsciously rubbed it a few times, squeezed it gently, then let go and took out a silver ingot and handed it to the waiter.

When the waiter saw such a large ingot of silver, his eyes lit up. But thinking that this was a small shop and he had never seen such a large amount of money, he quickly stammered, "Sir, I'm afraid we can't make the change here."

At this time, the shopkeeper came. He took the silver ingot from Xiaoer's hand and subconsciously took a bite of it. Knowing it was real, he was so excited that his old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. "Hey, sir, please follow me. I will take you to the best room here."

After that, he led the way in front. Before leaving, he glared at the slow-reacting waiter and said, "Why don't you go and boil some water and prepare some delicious food for the guests?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and left.

Duanmu Qing didn't have time to care what they thought or did, as long as he could wash and change his clothes now.

As he walked up the stairs to the second floor, scenes of memories flashed through his mind. His heart trembled slightly, and his emotions were a little out of control. He couldn't explain why. Thinking back to the farce, he couldn't help laughing out of anger.

Then when he arrived at the inn, he was suddenly stunned. Xiaoyanzi didn't react. When he reacted, he only heard their voices changed a little.

"Uncle Weird, I want to ask you something. I see that you are the same age as my father. Haven't you married and had children?"

Xiaoyanzi was carried into the room by Duanmu Qing and was gently placed on the bed by him. She asked this question subconsciously. She just felt that this man was very gentle. If they had children, he should be a very good father, right?

Duanmu Qing didn't expect that the child would suddenly ask about his family affairs. He felt awkward for some reason. He tapped the little girl's head helplessly and said softly, "Don't call me weird uncle. My name is Duanmu Qing. You can call me Uncle Duanmu. I have never been married, but I..."

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped talking, and the memories in his mind surged out, making him feel as if he was back in six years ago...
