Xiao Qian was still not sleepy, but he heard the sound of a child crying quickly. He quickly got up and went to check on the situation.

"What's going on? Why is that child crying?"

"Reporting to General, Little Ah Jin said that the wife of Su Family has disappeared."

How could a perfectly fine person disappear? Su Zhi had clearly said goodbye to him, how could she disappear?

"Did you go out to dinner?" Xiao Qian asked.

"I don't know. No one saw it."

Xiao Qian didn't ask anymore and went to the tent where he was supposed to settle Su Zhi. As expected, he saw a five-year-old child sitting outside the tent while holding a crying little girl.

Seeing him coming, Little Pancake cried even louder, she broke free from her brother's embrace and ran towards him, shouting, "Daddy!" She looked extremely wronged.

Xiao Qian's heart softened as he squatted down to pick up the child. The child, whose face was full of tears and snot, was buried on his shoulder, gasping for breath.

He did not know how to coax the child. Although he loved the child, his body language was coarse. He did not know how to tease her.

"General, where did my mother go? She never leaves in the middle of the night. "

Ah Jin's voice was still trembling, carrying an extreme sense of fear and worry.

Xiao Qian patted the little girl lightly, lowered his voice, and comforted her: "I was the one who asked your mother to stay back and help me do some things. I think it's more convenient for her in the middle of the night, I'll send people to look for her, don't worry your mother, nothing will happen to your mother. Take care of your sister first, don't make her worry."

Ah Jin cried as he reached out to catch Little Pancake, "General, my mother's health is not good, if there's any work I can help her with, I'm not afraid of pain or fatigue, I can do anything."

Xiao Qian lightly nodded his head. He felt somewhat guilty, and didn't dare to look the child in the innocent eyes.

Where the hell had the woman gone? Why did he disappear without a sound?

After Xiao Qian sent Ah Jin back to his tent, he was only told that it was convenient for him to leave, and he had not come back yet.

"Nonsense!" Let's not talk about the presence of the Tatar children outside, even if there are countless beasts out at night, what can a woman do to them? "

Xiao Qian was a little angry, but he thought that it would be inconvenient so he specially built a latrine for Su Zhi and the rest. Although it was a little simple, with such conditions in the camp, it would not be any better.

What was this woman doing out here in the middle of the night!

"Send more people out to find her. Make sure she's safe."

"Yes, sir."

Thinking of the child's face full of begging, Xiao Qian felt very bad, so he decided to let go of what he was doing first to see where the woman had run off to.

He put on his outer garment, held a torch and walked toward the posterior mountain according to the direction indicated by the guard.

The night wind was quite strong, and the pitch-black forest was rustling. At first glance, it sounded like a ferocious flood.

Relying on her pretty good sense of direction, Su Zhi finally found the hot spring the soldier mentioned.

At this moment, the wind had somewhat calmed down. The dark sky was inlaid with countless silver stars. The crescent moon was shrouded in a light veil. It was hazy and indistinct.

After confirming that there was no one around, Su Zhi lowered her body and began to undress.

It had been a long time since he had a comfortable bath. The smell of oil was so thick that even he felt disgusted with himself.

The warm spring water under the moonlight was still emitting a bit of mist, Su Zhi reached out her 30 centimeters golden lotus and felt the water's temperature was suitable.

After soaking himself in it, he squinted his eyes comfortably and took out a mask from the storage room to apply on his face. He then took out the shower gel he liked and spread it on his body before happily rubbing the bubbles.

The wild beasts that roamed the night were very sensitive to smell, and the scent of the bath fluid soon attracted the nearby wolves.
