Three Years (16)

"Mother said to put down those herbs and leave!"

Though Xiao Xun'er's voice was tender and soft, his tone was extremely stern. It scared the group of youths so much that they quickly threw the herbs down and ran down the mountain, fearful that if they were one step too late, they would be devoured by this monster!

They had never seen a two-year-old child emit such powerful energy. What else could he be if he was not a monster?

Xiao Xun'er bent down to pick up the medicine tray. The medicine tray was bigger than him but he did not feel the strain. He then toddled towards Gu Ruoyun with an expectant expression.

"Mother, Xun'er has chased those bad guys away."

His eyes gleamed with a resplendent light as he stared unblinkingly at Gu Ruoyun.

If Xun'er had a little tail, Gu Ruoyun could imagine the little fellow wagging his tail fawningly.

"Xun'er is really clever."

Gu Ruoyun stroked Xiao Xun'er's head and smiled.
