Little Pancake's wails were too loud, from time to time, patrolling soldiers would rush over when they heard her.

A five-year-old child, already learned how to understand the world and was afraid of causing trouble for others, smiled apologetically at the passing soldiers and kept apologizing.

Su Zhi endured the tears in her heart, clenching her small hands under her sleeves tightly, she let out a long sigh, then trotted over with a smile.

"Little Pancake, why aren't you being obedient again? You want to learn from big brother?"

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

The two children stopped making noise and rushed towards her, hugging her as she crouched down.

"Mother, where's father?"

Ah Jin laughed happily as he scanned his surroundings with his bright eyes, afraid that he would not see the man who had hidden in the shadows and surprised them.

Su Zhi stood up and led him back, "Ah Jin, come in first, mother has something to tell you."

Ah Jin nodded absentmindedly. Her small head still looked around and was unwilling to return to her tent. There was no father.

"Mother, where's father? Ah Jin has not seen him for a long time and is yearning for him.

Su Zhi hugged Little Pancake, not daring to look at Ah Jin's innocent child's face. She was so sad that she couldn't breathe.

She did not have any feelings for Nie Rufeng. Although it was a pity, it was more so because the pitiful child had lost his father long ago.

She lightly patted Little Pancake who was in her arms, trying to coax her daughter to sleep.

During this time, Ah Jin patiently avoided bothering her.

For some unknown reason, Little Pancake was unwilling to sleep today.

After she finally managed to coax his child to sleep, Su Zhi exhaled, and helped the little girl straighten her horns. Only then did she slowly turn around to face Ah Jin, whose face was filled with anticipation.

"Mother? Father? "

Su Zhi pulled him into his tight embrace, yet was still unable to speak.

Ah Jin seemed to have expected something and struggled to push her away.

"Mother, say something, where is my father? He said he would make me a paper kite, and when the East rose, he would go to the courtyard to fly it. He said he was going to teach me how to hunt, and I was waiting for him to make me a bow. Mother, please speak. "

"Ah Jin... Your father went to the front and will be back in a few days. "

She really couldn't bear to make him sad, so Su Zhi could only make up an unfounded lie.

"You lied to me, brother soldier said that the war is already over!"

"Ah Jin... "I ?"

Ah Jin pushed away his mother who was trying her best to calm her down. This was the first time a child who had always been well-behaved would cry to the point of tears in front of Su Zhi. His eyes were red and swollen as he asked her, "Daddy died in battle, right? "My father is gone ?"

"Ah Jin, you heard mother say that your father has gone somewhere far away and will be back. He still needs to take care of you and your sister, so he won't leave you behind. "

"Liar!" You lied to me! I want father! "

"Ah Jin!"

Nie Rufeng had died in battle. The person who was the most unwilling to believe this fact other than Su Zhi.

His father's glory was deeply engraved in his memory, how could he be willing to lose that magnificent figure.

The voices of the two people were too loud, waking Little Pancake up, causing him to turn and run out of the room.

Su Zhi wanted to chase after her, but her daughter's wail stopped him.

When she carried Little Pancake and ran out, where was the child?

Su Zhi panicked a little, worried that Ah Jin would not be able to take the blow and do something stupid. The child's mental state was still weak, what would she do if there was something she could do?
