Chapter 543: Uncle Ying, Will We Go to War?

A short distance away, A Tu hurried toward him; A Tu had now grown very tall, because good nutrition made him grow and gave him flesh.

He looked very robust. "Uncle Ying, this is a steamed bun I brought for you; would you like to try it? My mother made it, it's delicious."

A Tu handed Ying a steamed bun; at that moment Ying suddenly felt that everything was worthwhile, and no matter what happened, he would protect these tribe members.

He crouched down and stroked A Tu's chubby little face, which made him smile; he still remembered that A Tu had almost died then, and it was Qinghuan who risked herself to save him.

In the past, a minor chill could kill a member of his tribe, but that is no longer the case, because there are more tribe members, more people everywhere, and more Medical Women; now tribe members won't die from a slight chill, and they also have powerful medical techniques, so many previously incurable diseases can now be cured.

"A Tu, are you happy?"

He wanted to ask A Tu if they were happy; A Tu, being a child, naturally didn't lie, and nodded vigorously, "Happy, Uncle Ying, I've never been this happy. In the past we had nothing to eat and no place to live, but now we have. We have a home, and my mother's face now has a smile. Uncle, we are very grateful to you and Divine Sister; if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have this good life. You eat the fruit…"

The little child also understood the hardships of life and the meaning of their current happiness, so he sincerely wanted to tell Ying that they were very happy.

Very happy!

Ying saw the fruit A Tu brought, reached out and took it, "A Tu eat it, I won't, let's go home quickly; Uncle also needs to go home."

"Uncle, will we keep going like this forever?"

Not knowing why A Tu said that, Ying slightly frowned, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

A Tu, teary‑eyed and a bit sad, "They said there will be a war here, is that true, Uncle?"

A Tu called Ying 'Uncle'; war? Ying finally understood what the child feared—it was this question.

He reached out, touched A Tu's little ear, and smiled, "Don't be afraid, it won't happen; with Uncle here there won't be war. A Tu can keep studying, keep eating tasty food, and the family can stay together."

"Really?"

A Tu blinked his big eyes at Ying; in the child's heart he didn't want war, because war brings death. His stepfather treats him well, and he doesn't want his stepfather to go to war and die.

The little child already understood the meaning of death; he didn't want the family to be separated!

So, he came to find Ying!

Ying took a deep breath, forced out a faint smile, and solemnly said, "Really, with me here I will protect you all. Come, I'll take you home."

After Ying escorted A Tu back, he then headed toward his own home; he saw candlelight flickering inside, and a woman waiting for him at home.

So nice.

He also recalled A Tu's words, and he saw A Tu's stepfather—a dark‑skinned, very honest man; their family was doing well.

In any case, he must protect these families.

"Ying"

Suddenly Nan Qinghuan ran down from the upstairs, then grabbed her in a hug, "You're back, time to eat, I've simmered soup."

Ying also tightly embraced her; the two of them lived in their own little world.

"Come, let's go home to eat."

The dishes Nan Qinghuan prepared were extremely delicious; that night, under the flickering candlelight, there were countless sweet words and skin‑to‑skin love.

Under the candlelight, Nan Qinghuan made the bed and sat on it; after Ying bathed, he strode in, not even wearing pants, just walking in like that.

Seeing his proud brother, Nan Qinghuan's face turned a little embarrassed; how could this man be without any clothes?

"Why aren't you wearing clothes?"

Ying, seeing her shy expression, reached out and held her waist, resting her head on his shoulder, as the moonlight outside streamed through the window.

Very bright.

The moonlight illuminated the two lovers; it was an ultimate love, unforgettable and indelible!

That night, the couple spent a wonderful evening together.

Peaceful and serene.

After everything ended, Nan Qinghuan was already lying in his arms resting; Ying, drenched in sweat, was calming his passion, squinting slightly as if still savoring the lingering warmth.

Nan Qinghuan saw him silent, quickly lifted her gaze to look at him; under the moonlight, Ying's face looked very handsome, only his beard was still unshaved!

"Ying, did Uncle Ashu call you for something?"

Ying already knew she would ask him; he reached out and gently stroked his hair, "It's because of the refugees."

"Refugees?"

She thought of the Luoke Tribe people, "What's wrong?"

Ying let out a deep sigh, "It's fine now, it's already resolved. Qinghuan, go to sleep; tomorrow morning I need to go out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

Nan Qinghuan didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to leave; could it be because of the Baiqi Tribe's matters? Ying's expression turned complex as he glanced at her, then murmured, "I need to go to the Giant Tribe for a while."

"What's the matter?"

Ying, fearing she would worry, said, "It's nothing; the Rongdi have encountered some difficulties and need my help. Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan could probably guess—it must be that the Aurora group ran into trouble.

Otherwise they wouldn't have sent Ying as well.

"How long will you be gone?"

Ying was silent for a moment, "About three days. Rest assured I'll be back quickly; however, I'll temporarily leave this place in your care. I've already instructed Yao and Youchao Xuan to help you. If you need anything, look to them. Even if the Baiqi Tribe attacks, don't fear; I'll rush back as soon as possible, Qinghuan, okay?"
