Another day, in the morning.

"Huh!"

Yaya picked up an egg from the chicken coop and looked at it carefully with excitement and curiosity.

"Eggs." Jiang Xiaoyun pointed to the egg and taught Yaya.

The girl looked at the egg and didn't squeak.

"Chicken ...... Egg. Jiang Xiaoyun repeated patiently.

"Eggs. Chickens, eggs, eggs. Jiang Xiaoyun continued to repeat.

“……”

"Eggs."

After more than a dozen times, Yaya finally opened her mouth and said the word 'egg', and then her little hand slipped and dropped the egg to the ground.

Fortunately, the snow and fallen leaves on the ground were thick, and the eggs did not break.

……

"Eggs!"

At dinner in the morning, Yaya took a hard-boiled egg and said to Lu Chao.

"Yes, eggs." Lu Chao touched Yaya's head, and she finally learned new words again.

"Eggs."

"Eggs, eggs."

"Balls."

Yaya was even happier after receiving Lu Chao's encouragement, and kept saying 'eggs' in her mouth.

……

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the trunk of a large tree with the thickness of a bowl was shattered and fell down.

"How did you do that?" Jiang Xiaoyun looked at this scene with great surprise.

"Practice Qi. If you are interested, I will teach you to practice qi, and you will be able to do it in the future. Lu Chao continued to bombard the canopy of the fallen tree with one punch after another, peeling the entire canopy off the trunk.

"Qigong? I'm sure I can't do something so mysterious. Jiang Xiaoyun shook his head.

"It's not so mysterious, it's very simple......" Lu Chao dug a pit ten meters away from the house, and while inserting the tree trunk into it, he taught Jiang Xiaoyun the "Body Forging Technique" that he had memorized backwards.

But Jiang Xiaoyun couldn't find the sense of qi no matter what, and he thought that it wasn't the material, so Lu Chao didn't force it anymore.

Watching the big trees fall one by one near the house, and seeing a wooden wall slowly forming on the periphery of the house, Jiang Xiaoyun's gaze at Lu Chao was a little different.

With such a strong man, it is no wonder that he can take his daughter across more than a thousand kilometers of woods.

He's a wilderness survival expert!

With Jiang Xiaoyun helping to take care of Yaya, Lu Chao's efficiency in building walls is much higher, and in one day, almost half of the yard was built.

If they can't leave for a while, Lu Chao is going to build two more cabins in the courtyard, which can be regarded as a thank you to Jiang Xiaoyun for taking them in.

"Tree." Jiang Xiaoyun pointed to the tree beside him and continued to teach Yaya new words.

"Place." After a dozen times, Yaya opened her mouth.

"It's a tree, not a place, a tree." Jiang Xiaoyun patiently continued to teach.

"Tree." Yaya finally got it right.

"You're amazing!" Jiang Xiaoyun praised Yaya loudly.

……

"Yaya is so beautiful, her mother should be beautiful too, right?" At dinner, Jiang Xiaoyun deliberately provoked the topic.

"Also...... Make do with it. Lu Chao hesitated for a moment.

"You're here, she can't find you, she must be worried, right?"

She ...... Got cancer and left. ”

"Oh...... Sorry ......"

"It's okay......"

"Yaya is such a good child, and very smart, I have gotten along well with her in the past two days." Jiang Xiaoyun changed the subject.

"Well, thank you, I taught her several new words today, and she and I only taught her one word in the first half of the month, and you taught four in one day." Lu Chao expressed his gratitude to Jiang Xiaoyun, and sure enough, women will have an advantage in teaching children to speak.

The main thing is to be more patient and willing to keep talking. is not like Lu Chao, every time he talks to Yaya, he is trying to find something to say, because Yaya does not respond very much, which leads to frequent coldness.

Therefore, when father and daughter are together, they can often only look at each other affectionately.

The longest distance in the world is that you are in front of me, but I can't say I love you.

If she can stay here with Jiang Xiaoyun for a few more days, maybe Yaya's language skills will improve somewhat.

However, he couldn't stop.

Only on the road, on the journey, will he be hopeful.

to find the beautiful world that belongs to him and Yaya.

Once he stays in a place for too long, sadness and despair will slowly erode him, overwhelm him, and make him unable to breathe until he dies.

……

Three days later.

The snow stopped and the sun came out.

In the past three days, Jiang Xiaoyun helped take care of Yaya, and Lu Chao was not idle for a moment, and kept busy outside the house.

On the periphery of the house, a very strong wooden fence was built, which provided a large courtyard for the house. Because all the trees around the house were blown off, the sun could shine into the yard.

Two small wooden huts were also built in the courtyard, each with a deep pit dug in it, and wooden planks were built on the deep pits, which were made into simple toilets.

Jiang Xiaoyun's own earthen stove was pushed off, and Lu Chao used stones to repair a very sturdy new stove on the original site, and Jiang Xiaoyun no longer had to worry about the stove collapsing in the future.

The chicken coop on the balcony has also been renovated, reinforced with wooden boards, and a movable drawer board has been made at the bottom so that Jiang Xiaoyun can collect chicken manure and use it to grow vegetables.

……

At night.

The girl fell asleep.

"Thank you for everything you did for me, the fence, the stove, the toilet, the chicken coop...... I wouldn't dare to think about these things without you. Jiang Xiaoyun is extremely grateful to Lu Chao for his help these days.

"I've been bothering you here for days, and it's right to help you do these things. If you hadn't taken us in, our father and daughter would have been living in the snow these days. Lu Chao didn't care about this, he was originally going to forge his body to cultivate, but he just completed these things while cultivating.

"What's the bother? I'm really happy to have you here, don't go, stay here. Jiang Xiaoyun mentioned it to Lu Chao.

"When the snow melts, I'm going to hit the road." Lu Chao shook his head.

"Do you have to go? Stay! Stay a little longer, stay a few more days, and I can teach Yaya to say a complete sentence. Jiang Xiaoyun continued to persuade Lu Chao.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay." Lu Chao shook his head again, not only because of his search, but also because of that mysterious rule, he didn't want Jiang Xiaoyun to follow the path of Xu Junshan.

Jiang Xiaoyun looked at Lu Chao for a long time, tears began to roll in his eyes, and he couldn't help but flow down after all.

"Rest early." Lu Chao said to Jiang Xiaoyun, turned around and prepared to enter the room.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Xiaoyun reached out and grabbed Lu Chao's arm.

"What else?"

"Don't go, okay? You're gone, I'm a person again, and it feels so bad! Loneliness drives me crazy! I'm going to die! Please! Don't go! Jiang Xiaoyun cried and suddenly threw herself into Lu Chao's arms.

"Don't do that." Lu Chao wanted to push Jiang Xiaoyun away, but she hugged his body and refused to let go.
