Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.
Chapter 599 Reasons and Excuses
They obviously knew how to divert attention and relieve emotional exhaustion. What they said was not empty coaxing, but other facts that could prove that everyone loved her. Qiuyue was successfully distracted by their words. She suddenly remembered how everyone had accompanied her in the past three months and how the old people in the village loved her.
No one felt impatient, no one had any dislike reaction towards her, everyone faced her with a smile, and sometimes they would even scramble to hug her when Zhang Qiling was not around, unable to hide the love in their eyes.
Yes, she remembered that the look in each of their eyes when they looked at her was so gentle and shining.
No one laughed at her, no one was annoyed with her. All they brought were various small gifts every time they came back, and bright smiles on their faces that would instantly appear when she called them.
Qiuyue's eyes flickered slightly when she finally recalled all this. The suffocating shame and embarrassment in her heart immediately receded like a tide, leaving behind a gradually clearer warmth and sweetness.
She blinked, and the tears in her eyes finally fell from the corners. Seeing this, Wumian immediately reached out and gently wiped them away for her, his voice still gentle: "Don't cry."
Qiuyue sniffed her nose, which was becoming increasingly sour, and hummed in a muffled voice. She pursed her lips again and again, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
It turns out that everyone really likes her, whether she is an adult or a child.
The curve of her mouth was not big, almost non-existent, but the two men, whose hearts and eyes were full of her, noticed it at once. Their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, were put down at once, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally he was coaxed into crying. If he had really cried, they would have been heartbroken.
"Have you been pretending to be Xiaoguan and Xiaofubao for the past three months?"
Qiuyue, who had finally recovered, asked softly. She looked at them, hoping for an answer to this question. Wumian did not disappoint her and directly told her the truth: "No, it was the real Zhang Qiling and Xiao Fubao who accompanied you for those three months. We two replaced them yesterday afternoon."
Wumian paused for a moment and added, "Before this, we were two of the rabbits in the backyard. Um... when we first arrived, Zhang Qiling noticed something was wrong with us and took us away to talk inside. Do you remember this baby?"
Qiuyue blinked when she heard this and began to recall the new memories in her mind.
At the age of five, she couldn't detect anything wrong with Zhang Qiling's action, but now she had become an adult, and with Wumian specifically pointing it out, Qiuyue suddenly recalled the memory of that moment. She nodded and said, "Yes, I remember. At that time, Xiaoguan caught two rabbits and left."
While responding to him, Qiuyue couldn't help but feel puzzled. She subconsciously asked, "Why did you transform into Xiaoguan and Xiaofubao to replace them? Where are they now?"
At this question, Wumian froze for a moment, and Tu Lu's expression changed slightly. However, this was only a momentary reaction, and Qiuyue didn't notice anything. The two of them, who had been with Zhang Shouxu and the others for over a thousand years, had already become very shrewd. Wumian maintained his expression and didn't directly say that he couldn't respond. Instead, he used the art of language to reply, "They have to go out and are worried that their sudden departure will make you, a five-year-old, unhappy and cry. So, they asked us to temporarily transform into their appearance to accompany you and prevent you from being sad."
This response was extremely clever. Not only did it completely avoid the question of what Zhang Qiling and Xiao Fubao were going to do, but it also shifted the focus of the topic to Qiuyue. It sounded like there was absolutely no problem at all, and the words couldn't be more true. Qiuyue believed it immediately, and nodded in sudden realization, comforted by these 100% reasonable words.
"Oh, I see. When will they be back?"
Qiuyue asked without thinking, as if she was casually asking when they would have dinner. However, this question, which was not very serious, made the two of them stiffen again, and they felt that this question was even more fatal than the previous one.
"They, they didn't say when they would be back, but at least, they won't be back in the near future."
Wumian's tone was a little stiff this time, and he looked away for the first time.
Wumian, who had long believed that they would die as soon as they left, did not dare to meet Qiuyue's gaze. He was afraid that the emotions in his eyes would be discovered and noticed by her.
"Oh, are you going to be busy? Got it."
Qiuyue didn't doubt it and nodded slightly to show that she understood. Then she started asking other people. This time, the expression on her face changed slightly and her brows were unconsciously frowned.
"In the past three months, only Wu Xie, Hei Xiazi, and a few others have been here. Where are the others, Zhang Haike, Zhang Jinshan, Zhang Shouxu, and others? Why haven't they come? What are they doing?"
When asking about this group of people, Qiuyue felt a surge of anger in her heart, because she remembered how angry and furious she was before she committed suicide, and her heart was full of despair of being deceived. Now when she asked about them again, she felt extremely uncomfortable and suffocated.
She didn't hate him, she just felt uncomfortable.
The feeling of being deceived is really unpleasant.
Wumian and the other two naturally noticed Qiuyue's unhappiness. Her expression was too obvious. She frowned almost as soon as she opened her mouth. Tu Lu immediately mourned for that group of people in his heart, while Wumian considered it for a moment and said, "They are also busy now. They didn't come to see you for the past three months because they were afraid of making you sad again, so they didn't dare to come."
Wumian paused and added, "It's not that I haven't come to see you, it's just that I only came when you were sleeping, so you didn't notice."
Actually, Wumian could have not said this, after all, saying it would have been helping his rival, but considering that they had been together for more than a thousand years, he still said it.
We have already been brothers for a long time, so let's help each other.
Qiuyue was stunned when she heard this. Her expression was blank and her eyes were empty.
To be honest, she didn't know how to meet them.
She couldn't understand why they couldn't remember or didn't know her name. If it was Zhang Shouxu and the others, as well as Wang Can and Liu Sang, she could understand it. After all, it was their first meeting, and she herself couldn't remember her own name when they met. She introduced herself as Ah Ling, so it was normal that they didn't know. But Zhang Haike, Zhang Jinshan and the others shouldn't have, and Wu Xie, Hei Xiazi and the others shouldn't have forgotten her name...
They, they are her family, aren't they?
Family, how can you not even remember your own names?
As for saying that they didn't love her, Qiuyue didn't believe it, because the eyes they looked at her were as full of love and tenderness as always. If it had weakened a little, she would have noticed it, but it didn't. They still loved her as much as before, she could feel it, but this also made her extremely puzzled.
Since you love her, why can't you remember her name?
She was confused and troubled.
Wumian and Tu Lu naturally understood her thoughts and could comprehend her. After all, anyone would feel hurt if their family members didn't remember their name. Moreover, they had already witnessed how devastated Qiuyue was because of this, so they could understand how much Qiuyue cared and was sad about it.
Tu Lu opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. After all, this involved things like pollution, which would definitely irritate her once he said it. But if he didn't coax her, he was afraid that she would start crying again, which would really hurt his heart.
Wumian fell silent for a moment, as if he was hesitant to speak.
He is different from Tu Lu, he has something to coax but he doesn't know how to bring it up.
What he just thought of was the terrifying existence on the same level as Tiandao that Qiuyue summoned from the unique world, the dark blue dragon.
He saw Him through the live broadcast that year, and also saw their chat in the chat group from other people’s screens. How did Zhang Haiqing and others explain that they could not remember His name?
"His existence is too high. We cannot remember his name. Even if we remembered it before, we have forgotten it now."
Isn't that a good reason?
She is the Ancestral Qilin, and they are just a group of mortals who have just started practicing. It is reasonable that they cannot remember the real name of the powerful Qilin, right?
But he couldn't bring himself to say it, because he couldn't explain how he knew about that terrifying existence. After all, he was not in the private world at that time, but saw everything through the live broadcast screen that she didn't know about.
"Baby, you're still sad that they can't remember your name, right?"
Looking at Qiuyue, whose eyes were still red, Wumian finally spoke after hesitating for a moment. His voice was extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of irritating her. But even so, Qiuyue's nose was still sore for a moment, and his words hurt her heart.
She was sad. How could she not be sad? Anyone would collapse if they found out that their lover didn't remember their name, right?
Seeing those eyes mist up again for a moment, the two of them felt a pang of anxiety. Tu Lu glared at Wu Mian, annoyed at him for saying that, while Wu Mian was so distressed that he didn't care about the consequences and directly said the excuse he had just thought of: "Baby, is there a possibility that because you are the Ancestral Qilin, a powerful divine beast, ordinary mortals can't remember your real name?"
