Li Mingmo, after eating and drinking his fill, lay back on the sofa and burped. Bai Haoxue asked, "Where are Little Wolf Child and Nameless Elder? Have you seen them?"
"Sigh, it’s a long story..." Li Mingmo glanced at Xiao Bei, "Why don’t you tell it?"
Xiao Bei: "Two days ago, we were indeed with my master and Little Wolf Child.
Thanks to my master’s care, we had two delicious meals of grilled snake and grilled rat.
However, around noon the next day, we encountered that damned tornado again. We were unlucky enough to get swept up, but lucky enough to be pulled into the eye of the tornado."
"Did Little Wolf Child and Nameless Elder get swept away too?" Bai Haoxue asked anxiously.
"No." Li Mingmo said, "That Nameless Elder is really incredible. Before the tornado came, he dug a big hole in the ground, and he even told us to dig one too.
I asked him why we needed to dig a hole, and Nameless Elder said--well, to bury ourselves of course!
But I didn’t want to dig a hole to bury myself, and as for Xiao Bei...
You all know how lazy he is, so he’s even less likely to dig a hole.
So, when the tornado hit, we got swept away.
Little Wolf Child and Nameless Elder, though, dug holes and buried themselves."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Bai Haoxue, "Li Mingmo, I really think you should get into comedy. Why are you able to describe such a thrilling experience with such calmness and indifference, making it sound so funny?"
Li Mingmo: "..."
Looking at Bai Haoxue and then everyone present, Li Mingmo looked bewildered, "Is it really that funny?"
Bai Haoxue nodded, Lin Zhan nodded, and Little Beiting nodded vigorously.
Ji Hanyu leisurely said, "He who does not listen to the elder, suffers at present."
Li Mingmo: "..."
Damn, there’s really no retorting that statement.
They did end up getting swept away because they didn’t listen to Nameless Elder’s advice to dig a hole and bury themselves.
Thus... they could have been living on roasted snake and rat meat prepared by Nameless Elder.
Instead, they returned to living with their stomachs sticking to their backs.
Fortunately, Ji Hanyu’s people found them.
Otherwise, they might have really starved to death!
"So, Nameless Elder and Little Wolf Child are fine, right?" Bai Haoxue said, "Then why haven’t the people we sent found them?"
Xiao Bei said, "With my master around, you can be at ease, Little Wolf Child is safest beside him.
He’s even crazy enough to predict tornadoes, what could hurt him?
Sigh, I shouldn’t have doubted him!"
I thought my master was just speaking off the cuff, considering of all the things my master says, ninety-nine out of a hundred can’t be trusted!
But who knew, that hundredth statement was actually true?
Li Mingmo patted Xiao Bei on the shoulder, "Brother, my condolences, you’re not even worth as much as a foundling."
Xiao Bei: "..."
Those words really hit where it hurts.
After all, wasn’t Little Wolf Child just picked up by his master?
As for his and Little Wolf Child’s status... sigh...
Does he even have any status?
"You guys don’t need to go out of your way to look for my master and Little Wolf Child, who knows where he’s run off to on a whim?" Xiao Bei said, "Anyway, my master just loves to wander around, he used to take Little Wolf Child everywhere too.
When he gets tired of bringing Little Wolf Child around, he’ll drop him off with you guys."
Ji Hanyu: "..."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
