Chapter 23 The little dwarf is so ugly

Entering the tent, he saw the child who looked like five or six years old. His eyes were red from crying and he was in a mess. Although the clothes were scratched, the cloth with gold and silver threads could be faintly seen. Jiang Wanzai looked around and it was obvious that he had been smashed. She asked, "Where is your home?"

The child cried: "My home is not here. I want to go home. I just accidentally ran here, and they locked me here and refused to let me go. Are you with them?"

Jiang Wan's attention was focused on the child. Seeing him acting pitifully and coquettishly, she always felt that something was not right. A pair of eyes wandered around after they came in, and stayed on He Huaiqi's lap for a long time.

She tugged on He Huaiqi's sleeve and whispered, "Do you believe it? I don't look like a four or five-year-old child." She nudged the child with her chin, "Look at his expression. And his eyes, although he pretends to be pitiful, but those eyes secretly glance at you from time to time, looking a little calm."

He Huaiqi sneered, "What's more, this child is not very good at acting like a spoiled child. Although a five or six-year-old child is naughty, why is it so awkward for him to do it."

Jiang Wan walked towards the child. She didn't know if her nerves were too sensitive, but she always felt that when the child saw her approaching, there was a little nervousness and wariness in his eyes. His hands were intertwined and he was nervously clasped.

She smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, little brother. My sister will protect you. Tell her where your home is and who it is from. She can send someone to take you back." She touched the child's head as she spoke, but every time The child would deliberately avoid it or show displeasure.

He Huaiqi walked up to the dwarf, looked carefully and said casually, "He looks really ugly!"

The child's face darkened, Jiang Wan pretended to scold He Huaiqi angrily, but the smile on his face did not diminish and said: "Don't scare the child!" She then pulled the child closer, "Don't be afraid, brother is teasing you."

The child was reluctant, but he understood that He Huaiqi was not easy to mess with, so he took the initiative and pretended to cry and approached Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan pulled the person forward without any politeness, put more force on her hand, and pinched the pulse secretly. She knew what was going on, and said to herself: "I see."

What a child. He was clearly a dwarf. His facial features, body, and voice had all stopped growing.

A flash of light flashed in Jiang Wan's eyes. The dwarf didn't see it, but He Huaiqi saw that something was wrong and cast an inquiring gaze. She didn't hide it from him and silently said to He Huaiqi with her lips: "The dwarf."

He Huaiqi was only surprised for a moment, then nodded, glanced at the dwarf again, and pulled him to him, "I'm asking you something. Didn't I yell to go home? Why aren't you talking now?"

Taking a closer look at the dwarf, he was indeed unattractive. He Huaiqi added: "Well, at such a young age, he has a lot of wrinkles on his face, and there are also some spots on his face, which is really ugly."

The dwarf was about to cry as soon as he curled his lips, but He Huaiqi said: "I hate children crying the most." He took out the long whip from his sleeve and held it in his hand. When the dwarf saw it, he immediately stopped talking and was stunned. No tears fell.

"I don't want you to send him away, I know the way myself." He pretended to be scared, showed vigilance, and tried his best to pretend to be a safety-conscious child, but Jiang Wan and He Huaiqi knew well that he was a dwarf.

"How can that be done? You are still a child. What if you get lost? There are many bad people out there. How can we feel at ease if we let you go back alone?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the dwarf was floating at his feet, staggering back a few steps, and then sat down on the ground, expecting to faint in the next step.
