Xiao Qian was still awake, but he heard the sound of a child crying. He quickly got up and went out to check on the situation.

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

"Reporting to General, Little A Jin said that the Su Family's wife is missing."

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 did not ask any more questions and went to the tent where Su Zhi was being accommodated. As expected, he saw a five-year-old child sitting outside the tent with a crying little girl in his arms.

When she saw him, she cried even louder. She broke free from her brother's embrace and ran towards him, crying, "Daddy! Daddy!" She looked extremely wronged.

Xiao Qian's heart softened as he squatted down to pick up the child. The child, whose face was covered in snot and tears, 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. "

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

Xiao Qian patted the girl gently on the shoulder as he consoled her with a low voice, "I was the one who asked your mother to stay here and help me with some things. I think it's more convenient for her to go out at night, so I'll send someone to look for her. Don't worry, your mother will be fine. Take care of your sister first, don't worry her."

A Jin cried as she reached out to take the bean bun, "General, my mother is not well, if there's any work in the future I can help her with it. I'm not afraid of pain or tiredness, I can do anything."

Xiao Qian nodded slightly. He felt guilty, and didn't dare to look into the child's innocent eyes.

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

After Xiao Qian sent A Jin back to their tent, he was informed that Su Zhi had gone out to relieve herself and 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 it would be inconvenient so he specially built a latrine for Su Zhi and the rest. Although it was a little crude, this was the only condition the camp had.

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 about the begging look on his child's face, Xiao Qian felt very sorry. He decided to let go of what he was doing and see where the woman had run off to.

He put on his coat and went back up the hill in the direction indicated by the soldier with the torch in his hand.

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 rather good sense of direction, Su Zhi finally found the hot spring mentioned by the soldier.

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 traces of mist. Su Zhi reached out her three inch golden lotus and found it to be suitable for the temperature of the water.

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.
