"Once I was so frightened by your voice that I dropped my umbrella and ran away without picking it up."
"But you gave me the umbrella back when I came the next day."
...
Thinking of the monster who was so cautious at that time and looked like he was afraid of scaring him, the young man couldn't help but smile, without the embarrassment he felt at the beginning.
"I gave you a candy later."
"How do you like it?"
He was a little embarrassed.
What do children know?
Thinking that what you like to eat will be liked by all people or animals.
But why do monsters like eating sweets?
Most people don’t think of monsters and candies together, right?
However, for me at that time, sweet candies were really the most delicious thing.
…
After all, his family's situation was a bit special at that time.
That man, he didn't even want to call that uncertain man his father. He was not as tender and affectionate as the father of ordinary children.
…
Children are not pets.
When you are in a good mood, tease her, but when you are in a bad mood, you may yell, even punch or kick her.
When the man is not angry, he looks like an ordinary father.
He also had feelings of admiration for that man.
But soon, this admiration will be exhausted by the man's subsequent beatings and scoldings.
…
Later, he saw with his own eyes the man strangling his mother's neck, with a look of dismay on his face.
The ferocious and terrifying appearance once became his nightmare for a long time.
Children living in such a family are naturally not like many other children who can get a lot of delicious snacks by acting coquettishly.
Unless necessary, he would not talk to that man, let alone make requests.
And mom...
Mom has to go to work and do housework.
Mom is very tired.
Dad and mom always quarrel.
It was very noisy.
Hiding aside, he was helpless and scared.
Mom is always angry and always crying.
Such a mother makes him feel uncomfortable.
Being quick and sensible, he will naturally not ask his mother for extra things.
The candy given to Daniel was given to him by the grandmother in the community.
At that time, grandma gave him a handful of candies.
Only one was left after he ate it.
He gave the last candy to Daniel.
…
"Moo~"
These young man's narrations confirmed Si's guess.
This human that seemed familiar to him was indeed the human cub from back then.
He has grown up.
It didn't recognize him the first time.
It was obvious that it had been looking for him.
It shook its head.
If you saw a human cub on the street, would you miss it because you didn't recognize it immediately?
In the past many years of searching, has something like this happened?
It is unknown.
However, it is meaningless to pursue the answer to this question now.
Because now, the human cub it is looking for is right in front of it.
…
The boy misunderstood the meaning of the monster's movements.
He thought the other person's shaking head meant he didn't like it.
He suddenly became anxious, "I only had candies around me at that time. I didn't know you didn't like candies..."
"Moo~"
The young man suddenly explained.
…
"Yin Xia, Daniel likes your candies very much."
Xiao Xiao, who couldn't stand it anymore, spoke up to explain to Si, "It was just a coincidence that it shook its head just now."
"Not answering your question."
"real?"
The young man was stunned and said, "Daniu, do you like the candy I gave you?"
"Moo~"
Si nodded seriously.
Of course it does.
That was the first gift it received from humans.
The first gift from a human friend.
It is cherished.
…
The young man smiled.
"It's great that you like it."
Then he reacted, "Daniu, did you recognize me?"
"Moo~"
Si nodded, with a delighted smile in his eyes.
The young man also had a silly smile on his face.
He was so happy that he didn't know what to say for a while.
Although from the moment his eldest brother told him that Daniel had been looking for him, he knew that Daniel had not forgotten him.
Just as he hasn't forgotten it.
But Daniel's hesitation and unfamiliarity just now really made his heart skip a beat.
Simply, it was just a false alarm.
Daniel recognized him.
His heart, which had always been vaguely vacant, finally returned to its true state.
Very good.
Everything went incredibly smoothly.
After he caught a glimpse of the injured bull passing by... uh, injured?
The young man was startled.
He regretted his indifference.
Just now he was so busy getting to know Daniel that he forgot that the most important thing now was to confirm Daniel's injury.
"Daniu, you are injured!"
The young man hurriedly took a few steps forward, his eyes wandering around the monster's body worriedly.
"Daniu, how are you injured?"
Compared with the appearance he saw before, Daniel's current appearance was much better.
At least there's no more bleeding.
The blue-black complexion seems to be a bit darker.
"Daniu, where is your wound?"
The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
Daniel didn't seem to be injured as seriously as he thought.
…
"Moo~"
Si shook his head.
It's okay.
It's just some flesh wounds.
It looked a bit scary at first, but once the bleeding stopped, there was no problem.
Just rest for a few days.
…
"Is it really okay?"
The young man didn't believe it.
There was obviously so much blood shed at that time.
However, he looked at Xiao Xiao who was quiet on the side, "Brother, did Daniel just say that he was fine?"
Because he misunderstood Daniel's meaning once, he was a little unsure about his ability to understand.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Seeing the young man frowning and looking extremely worried, Xiao Xiao slightly arched his eyebrows and said, "Daniu is fine."
"It just suffered some flesh wounds."
"In a few days, there won't even be any wounds on its body."
"real?"
The young man looked at the hideous wound near the bull's belly.
The wound was quite deep, and the skin and flesh on both sides were rolled.
But no blood came out.
Just looking at it still makes people feel a little bit frightened.
There is more than one such wound.
He counted them carefully.
A total of five wounds were distributed on the big cow's body, near its belly.
Tentatively touching the wound, the young man winced with his fingers.
There was a sharp edge coming from the long and narrow wound.
It stung his fingers a little.
Obviously, these wounds on Daniel should have been caused by weapons such as swords.
Presumably it was the so-called magic weapon that hurt Daniel, right?
Otherwise, how could he still feel the cold air of the weapon when the wounds were already scabbing?
…
"Moo~"
Si looked at the young man who was worried about him, with a bit of a smile in his eyes.
Although the human cub in his memory has changed in appearance and grown taller, it is still the human cub it knew back then.
