Chapter 59: 59. Scared to deathShaking his head, thinking he was just dizzy from the collision and hallucinating, Hua Chengtian realized it wasn’t an illusion when he saw the wild boar twitching on the ground and the arrow tail on its body.
His daughter really disappeared into thin air right in front of him.
Disappeared...
Hua Chengtian panicked; his daughter was missing.
"Jin’er..."
"Jin’er... where are you... Jin’er..."
Staggering to his feet, Hua Chengtian fell unsteadily to the ground but managed to get back up the next moment, frantically
How could he not have questions; he had many and desperately wanted to know. Recalling the scenes of his daughter shooting the boar and suddenly vanishing and reappearing, Hua Chengtian wanted to figure out the reasons immediately.
But, looking at the place beneath him and the dead wild boar nearby, with the thick scent of blood in the air, it wasn’t the right time to ask anything.
"If you want to tell, father would like to know, but for now, we better leave this place first." Hua Chengtian gave Hua Jin a doting smile, glancing at the wild boar beside them.
Whatever secret the child had, as long as she was his daughter, that was enough.
Hua Jin also realized, standing up straight, "Father, you’re right, let’s leave quickly."
"Ah... little brother," Hua Jin suddenly cried out, remembering she had pushed Xiao Si to hide in a tree.
...The child must be terrified right now.
"Father, let’s go quickly, I hid my brother in a tree." Saying this, she couldn’t stay put any longer, grabbing her father with one hand and, with a wave towards the wild boar, performed another magic trick in front of her father.
Otherwise, taking care of such a large animal would be hard for her and her father, but being extremely worried about her brother in the tree, she dared not delay.
As for revealing the space, it was already exposed, so exposing it a few more times didn’t matter, and she had already made up her mind.
A father who would sacrifice himself to protect his children, how could she not trust him?
Hua Jin was willing to give herself a chance, knowing it was risky, but if it was for her closest ones, she was willing to take that risk.
Upon hearing this, Hua Chengtian became anxious, hurrying to stand up. Fortunately, after a brief rest, he finally had some strength, although he still felt a pang of guilt for having completely forgotten about his younger son. He followed his daughter, briskly heading down the mountain.
Before he and his daughter stopped, he saw the red-faced boy sliding down from the tree, crying and calling out as he ran to them. It was the first time Hua Chengtian had seen such a pitiful sight in his child.
"Wah... father, sister... you’re finally back..." Upon seeing the wound on his father’s head, the "wah wah" cries grew louder.
He was clearly terrified.
In fact, he was really scared, experiencing such direct danger for the first time.
He had often heard adults saying the mountains were dangerous and he shouldn’t go there, but it always went in one ear and out the other, thinking the adults exaggerated and dismissing it. But now, he believed them.
During the time he spent in the tree, Little Si didn’t know how he managed to hold on, knowing how much effort it took to keep himself from crying out.
He was young, but he knew there was nothing he could do and the only thing he could do was not to become a burden to his sister, so he quietly stayed in the tree.
When he saw his father and sister appear, Little Si couldn’t hold it in anymore, crying and sliding down from the tree, throwing himself into their arms, holding them tightly with his small arms, his body trembling as he cried.
