Chapter 391: Chapter 391: The Odds Are Against Him
Bai Haoxue and the others did not return directly to the foot of the mountain but went back to the resort halfway up the mountain.
Although the resort is not yet fully completed, there are quite a few places where they can stay.
The natural disaster caused by this heavy rain did not greatly affect the resort, but it delayed the construction process and caused the disappearance of dozens of workers and residents.
However, they have all been found now, and there were no casualties, which is fortunate amid the misfortune.
Bai Haoxue thanked the few residents who volunteered to help and then parted ways with them.
The residents each returned home, while they went back to the resort.
Ji Hanyu’s people quickly found out some general information about the Little Wolf Child.
The Little Wolf Child was abandoned in the deep mountains as a baby and was raised by wolves who fed him wolf milk.
The Little Wolf Child’s grandfather was an herbal doctor who often went into the mountains to gather herbs. He found the child in the mountains and took him back to raise him.
In this natural disaster, the Little Wolf Child’s grandfather went missing while collecting herbs in the mountains, and the Little Wolf Child went to the mountains to look for his grandfather.
He was like the group of trapped people, seeking shelter from the rain in a cave.
When Lin Zhan organized the people to cross the bridge, everyone either rushed to cross first or protected their own children to go ahead.
The Little Wolf Child, all alone without any relatives taking care of him, was overlooked since he was in the cave.
It wasn’t until the cave collapsed that he ran out, shouting for help.
While Bai Haoxue was listening to the report, Lin Zhan came over and said that the Little Wolf Child stubbornly wanted to return to his and his grandfather’s home in the mountains, unwilling to stay at the resort.
Bai Haoxue rushed back to the neighboring room and gently coaxed him, "Your grandfather hasn’t been found yet, the mountain is dangerous, how about you stay here with uncle and auntie for now? We will help you find your grandfather."
Bai Haoxue really couldn’t trust such a small child living alone in the mountains.
Moreover, the natural disaster has not yet passed, and the mountain is constantly dangerous.
The Little Wolf Child looked at Bai Haoxue with bright eyes, hopeful, "Really?"
"Really!" Bai Haoxue said, "Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe this uncle, you know, he’s very capable."
The Little Wolf Child nodded, agreeing with Bai Haoxue’s words.
Then he looked longingly at Ji Hanyu.
"We will help you find him!" Ji Hanyu said, "But, you need to be prepared."
"Can’t you speak more tactfully?" Bai Haoxue glared at Ji Hanyu.
In fact, she also understood that Ji Hanyu was right.
The Little Wolf Child’s grandfather was probably in grave danger.
He was an old man, and all alone!
Not continuing the topic, when the doctor arrived, Bai Haoxue let Ji Hanyu go to get his wound treated.
She took the Little Wolf Child to soak in the hot springs; the little guy was not only dirty all over but also soaked, with clothes and pants dripping with water.
There are natural hot springs all over this resort, and soaking is good for his health.
After taking the Little Wolf Child to the hot spring area, Bai Haoxue came back since if she stayed, the little guy definitely wouldn’t get undressed to soak in the hot springs.
When Bai Haoxue had finished freshening up, Ji Hanyu’s wound was also treated, and Bai Haoxue ran over to hug him and said, "Ji Hanyu, I think the Little Wolf Child is so pitiful, just looking at him makes my heart ache."
"Then you should pity me." Ji Hanyu said.
"I’m being serious, and this is the time for jealousy?"
"I’m serious, too. His experiences are quite similar to mine, though he’s luckier. At least he has a grandfather."
Bai Haoxue hugged Ji Hanyu even tighter. Yes, Ji Hanyu was sent to the base at the age of five...
