Chapter 1066: Gossip of Xitela Li
At this time, Xinoning came over. Seeing the corners of Katsina's mouth drooping, she couldn't help but chime in, "Mr. Shao Yun, Kawei and I will take care of the engineering matters. You don't have to worry about this."
Shao Yun shook his head and frowned, but his tone remained calm as he said, "This isn't a matter of responsibility. What if something gets bumped or bruised? Leaving a child at a construction site is too risky."
Sinoning crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and showed a look of disapproval on his face.
"Don't underestimate Katsina. During the last Return to Fire Prosperity Tour, she overcame so many powerful opponents and emerged victorious. She's proven herself with her strength long ago."
"Not to mention this small construction site, she can handle even more complex environments."
As she spoke, Katsina seemed to be ignited with fighting spirit. She nodded vigorously and pulled Ayu.
The little guy also raised his head in cooperation and let out a roar louder than before, as if to prove his own and his master's abilities.
Shao Yun shook his head. Not to mention that the abyss disaster that troubled Nata has been resolved and there will be no problems for a long time. What's more, fighting is different from building a house!
"Let's not even mention that the abyss disaster that plagued Nata has been resolved. There won't be any major problems for a long time. Even if there are, fighting and building a house are completely different things!"
He was still worried and said firmly, "Forget it. We have enough manpower now anyway. There's really no need to get Katsina involved. It's too unsafe."
Seeing Shao Yun still refusing to give in, Xinoning had no choice but to reassure him:
"Don't worry, Katsina often digs in the mining area and is very experienced. You know that."
Do your best. She looked at Shao Yun and reminded him, "I remember that you accompanied Katsina to the mining area of our Echo Sons tribe. What are you worried about?"
Shao Yun looked at Katsina carefully again. The child was so young, and asking her to help on the construction site felt like hiring child labor.
"I still think that a child of Katsina's age should be studying instead of playing and working in a place like this."
When Katsina heard the word "reading", she seemed to be under a spell, and her expression instantly changed to "Σ( ° △ °|||)".
She subconsciously shrank back and said in a sobbing voice, "Ah? Reading?"
The way Katsina looked at Shao Yun now was as if she was looking at a bad adult who kidnapped a child.
She never imagined that the great hero who saved Nata was actually a bad adult who "encouraged learning"!
Of course, Katsina couldn't be blamed for this. After all, what kid in the world truly loved going to school? Reading and writing were far less interesting than working in the mines or playing with Ayu.
Shao Yun looked at the obviously frightened expression on Katsina's face and sighed helplessly.
That’s right. People come to help with good intentions, but you keep asking them to study. It’s really a bit of a letdown.
So, Shao Yun had no choice but to relent and handed Katsina to Xinoning beside him, saying, "Forget it... In short, Xinoning, you have to keep an eye on her and don't let Katsina get hurt."
Then, Shao Yun squatted down, gently touched Katsina's head, and carefully reminded her: "Follow Xinoning closely, be sure to pay attention to safety on the construction site, and don't run around."
"If you're tired, remember to take a rest under the awning next to you. There's water there..."
He kept on giving a lot of instructions, fearing that something might go wrong with Katsina on the construction site.
After saying that, Shao Yun took out a package of chocolate balls from his pocket and stuffed them into Katsina's hand.
"If you're hungry, eat some chocolate to replenish your energy," he lowered his voice and whispered in Katsina's ear, "Don't let Sinonin see you. That 'cat' loves sugar and might snatch it from you if he sees it..."
Why does Sinoning like to take naps? Answer: Maybe it's carbon monoxide poisoning...
Xinoning's round leopard cat ears trembled in the sunlight, obviously hearing what Shao Yun said.
Then, she said with a depressed look on her face, "No, no matter how much I like candy, I wouldn't fight with a child for it, right? Mr. Shao Yun, you look down on me too much."
Katsina was still a child after all. After receiving the unexpected gift of chocolate balls, her previous impression of Shao Yun as a "bad adult" disappeared in an instant.
She clutched the chocolate ball tightly, nodded vigorously, and said happily: "Oh, okay! Thank you, Mr. Shao Yun!"
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun stayed at the construction site of the ranch for a while.
He watched as the members of the Echo Sons tribe and the Little Ridge Dragons worked in perfect harmony to dig the basement.
Kavi stood by and gestured and gave instructions with the blueprints from time to time.
Sinoning also patrolled back and forth to ensure that the construction was progressing in an orderly manner.
Katsina and Ayu were excitedly trying to help move some non-dangerous small stones not far away. The entire construction site was busy and orderly.
Shao Yun stood there and watched for a while. Feeling that there was really nothing he could do, he kicked the pebbles under his feet out of boredom.
He was about to leave the construction site on his ranch and ride around to kill some time when he suddenly felt a shadow passing over his head.
When I looked up, I saw Xitlalli sitting on her iconic flying pillow, yawning, looking lazy as if she had just woken up, and slowly flying towards me.
The pillow circled in the air with her and landed gently not far in front of Shao Yun.
When Xitlalli jumped off the pillow, she blinked hard, trying to make herself more awake.
Then she looked at Shao Yun and said, "Mr. Shao Yun, why didn't you tell us when you came back? I only heard from the people in the tribe that you had built a ranch here."
Shao Yun smiled when he saw Xitlalli coming. He pointed to the construction site not far away and replied, "I've only been back a few days. I haven't had time to tell everyone everything yet."
"Look, we're just starting to lay the foundation and dig the basement today. Everything is still in its infancy."
Upon hearing this, Xitrali looked around curiously, her eyes circling the construction site, searching for something.
When she didn't see the strange girl, she showed a little disappointment on her face and couldn't help asking:
"Hmm... What about your wife and kids? Why didn't they come to Nata with you? Mavica's been talking about them a lot, wanting to see what kind of person they are that you've been thinking about for so long."
Not only Mavica was curious about Shao Yun's wife, but also her sister, Xitlalli.
After all, he had done a lot for Shao Yun, starting with sharing his visual perception with him, helping him improve his hunting skill, "Eagle Eyes." (The intimate physical contact made the irritated Shao Yun instantly want to kill.)
Invite Shao Yun to drink again... (Although she got drunk that time and caused a lot of unpleasant things)
He even invited him to his home... (Although it was the director's cut of "The Two Gunmen" in his hand)
But no matter what, I should be considered Shao Yun’s female friend!
Although she was not recorded in the "Holy Night Journey" like Mavica, and her relationship with Shao Yun did not seem to be as close as Mavica's, in her heart, she still wanted to know what kind of girl could tie up Shao Yun, a devil who was like a human-shaped natural disaster?
Of course, there is also a selfish motive, which is to compare the gap between myself and his wife.
Although Sitrali never goes out all day, she stays at home as a stay-at-home girl, either reading novels or eating snacks, and looks lazy.
But she also has a love for beauty and a desire to compete for beauty, so naturally she cares about these things.
When Shao Yun heard Xitelali asking about his wife "Ying", his thoughts drifted back to this morning. A gentle smile appeared on his face and he said:
"My wife? Let me think, when I left the house today, Ying and Paimon had already taken Xiaolong to the Adventurer's Guild to accept a commission."
"As for the specific location, I don't know either. They always go wherever they want."
Then, Shao Yun began to speculate about the current situation of Ying, Paimeng, and his own little dragon "Potato Pancake", and said in a comfortable tone:
"Who knows, right now, the two of them and Xiaolong are cheering for finding the treasure chest!"
"After all, Paimon's eyes light up whenever she sees a treasure chest, and Ying always loves to accompany her on treasure hunts."
"Or maybe they saw some beautiful scenery and are snapping photos with their cameras!"
After listening to this, Xitlari raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking of a very crucial question, and quickly asked:
"What about your child? Don't tell me your wife is taking risks while raising the child! That's too hard."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but shook his head, with a helpless and funny smile on his lips.
"No, how could she be so tired? Shen He is taking care of the child. The mother and daughter should be resting in the room of the House of Burnout now."
"Shen He is careful and steady. With her looking after the child, Ying and I feel relieved."
When Sitrali heard the key word "mother and daughter", her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered some huge secret. She immediately started brainstorming, and her face showed an expression full of gossip.
Then, she took a few steps closer to Shao Yun and asked in a low voice, "Wait a minute! There's a lot of information in what you said. 'Daughter and daughter'? So, how many wives do you have?"
As she asked, she secretly observed Shao Yun's expression, her curiosity almost overflowing.
After all, Shao Yun usually looks calm and composed, and I never expected that he actually hid such a "secret". This is much more interesting than reading the plot in the novel.
