Feng Jiu, who walked a few steps away, heard the sound and looked back. She was astonished to see the old man’s face turned unsightly and his whole body froze. When she smelled a foul odour, the corners of her mouth twitched.

“The baby…pooped?”

She looked at the innocent baby blinking in the old man’s arms with a smile and stepped back. “Deal with this yourself. I’ll handle the two chickens first.” She left quickly, leaving the old man standing there stiffly.

It took the old man quite a while to come to himself. Seeing the boy was still kicking his feet, he glared. “The old man has lived all these years and no one dared to expel…to expel… on the old man… Hmph!”

He couldn’t say the word. The thought of the baby’s muck on his body made his toes curl. Immediately, he took the baby in his arms to the river downstream where Feng Jiu was.

Feng Jiu processed the two chickens deftly. When she saw the old man come with the baby in his embrace, she jokingly said, “Old man, this baby gets along with you very well. This must be your first experience to carry a baby and get this all over you, is it?”

“Hurry up, place those two chickens on the rack to roast, then take this baby with you.” The old man said. He took the baby in one hand, took off his clothes with the other and put them on the ground, then he laid the baby on the clean clothes.

Feng Jiu watched it with a smile. “Good, wash up first. I’ll come over shortly.”

As she spoke, she walked back with a chuckle, lit a fire and roasted the two chickens on the rack and sprinkled some seasonings. Not long after, she saw the old man coming with the baby already wearing a bellyband.

“Here’s the kid, take him back.”

The old man handed the baby to Feng Jiu. He sat down by the fire, took out the wine and took a sip. “What a naughty brat. This old man has lived so long and has never served anyone!”

Feng Jiu took the baby and smiled. “When the baby grows up, let him serve you.”

The old man looked at her with surprise. “Do you mean that you are really going to keep the baby?”

“Didn’t you tell me to raise him as a son?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and looked at him jokingly.

The old man glared at her. “So, if I asked you to keep him, you will do so? You’re an unmarried girl. If a small baby calls you mother, it’s not good, is it?”

“What’s bad about it. When I get back, I’ll find a wet nurse for this little guy and let Leng Shuang and others help raise him. I’ll play and tease the little guy in my leisure time. I ordinarily don’t do many things.” She had already made the plans.

Since she had no idea about the baby’s origin or the baby’s relatives whereabouts, she would keep him first! Let him find them on his own once he grew up. What’s more, the little guy was very cute and he was saved by her. It’s not a problem to raise him.

Sage Hun Yuan looked at her for a while and finally just said, “Since you said so, raise him! But is it not convenient for us to take a baby with us now?”

“We can do nothing about it.” She took out an old robe from the space, wrapped the baby, and told Sage Hun Yuan, “Please turn the roast chicken over quickly. Don’t let it get scorched.”

The old man turned the roast chicken and glanced at the baby in Feng Jiu’s arms.. Unexpectedly, the baby didn’t cry.
