Taking advantage of Xiao Yi's departure, Ye Fei no longer had to hide anything and started speaking to the silver wolf.
"Little Silver, you can understand human language, right? Tell me, what's wrong with your child?"
The Silver Wolf's eating actions instantly froze, and a voice sounded in its heart --
"How did this human know that I had a child? Could it be that it can hear the words in my heart?"
"No... it's impossible, it's probably just a coincidence..."
Ye Fei enunciated each word clearly, "Don't doubt yourself, I can hear what you're thinking."
"!!!"
Silver looked at Ye Fei in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had lived for nearly a hundred years, and this was the first time he had met a human who could hear what he was thinking!
"Can you help me find my child?"
"No matter if it's dead or alive... I just want to see it again..."
Little Silver's heart was filled with sorrow.
Ye Fei agreed without thinking. "Okay, I'll do my best to help you."
The wolf shed tears as he told Ye Fei the past.
It turned out that three years ago when it was out delivering goods, it passed by the lost forest and happened to be caught in a once-in-a-century fog.
Thus, it accidentally got separated from the transportation team.
It could only wander aimlessly in the lost forest, hoping that its luck would break out and meet the Xiao family's transportation team again.
In the end, it did not meet the transportation team but instead met a tall and mighty white wolf.
It fell in love with the White Wolf and became pregnant with the white wolf's child.
Unfortunately, when it was giving birth later, it was attacked by a fierce beast.
The white wolf did its best to protect its child and died together with the beast.
The newborn wolf was also lost in the fighting.
The loss of its husband and child at the same time caused a huge psychological trauma to Little Silver.
It lost the motivation to continue living and was completely disheartened. It only wanted to die with its husband and child as soon as possible.
However, the Xiao family found it again and brought it back. They took good care of it and protected it so that it had no chance to end its life.
So it could only live on listlessly.
It lived with the pain of losing its husband and son.
Day and night, minute by minute.
Ye Fei said sympathetically, "These three years have been hard on you..."
Little Silver sobbed and said, "I just miss my child, especially..."
"I didn't even have the chance to take a look at it! I don't even know if it looks like me or its father..."
"I've been pregnant with it for so long, and it took me half my life to give birth to it. It was snatched away before I could even see it," Little Silver cried out in grief.
The other pets around him did not know if they felt his grief or if they were afraid of the might of the Siberian Direwolf. For a moment, all of them were silent. They obediently bent down and did not move..
Ye Fei did not know how to comfort the grieving silver wolf.
He could only say, "I can't guarantee that I'll be able to help you find your child, but I'll do my best."
"It's enough if you do your best... Thank you."
Little Silver itself knew that its child had been snatched away by the enemy the moment it was born. The chances of its survival were slim.
That was why he had said from the beginning that he wanted to see his child, regardless of whether it was alive or dead.
"If you can really help me find my child, I'm willing to give up everything I have in return."
Little Silver told Ye Fei in his heart.
Ye Fei waved his hand. "We'll talk about it when the time comes. It's too early to mention this now."
He really couldn't bear to make any conditions for Little Silver, who had already experienced the pain of losing his husband and son.
Even if he got nothing in return, simply out of pity and sympathy, Ye Fei was willing to help as much as possible.
Xiao Yi originally wanted to tell the other people in his family the good news that Little Silver was able to take the initiative to eat.
In the end, he heard Little Silver let out a long cry from afar. The cry was abnormally sorrowful, scaring him into rolling and crawling back.
Just as he ran back, he heard Ye Fei talking to the wolf.
Of course, he could not hear Little Silver's inner thoughts. He could only hear what Ye Fei was saying.
"What do you mean by saying it when the time comes? Are you talking to Little Silver?" Xiao Yi asked doubtfully.
Ye Fei originally did not intend to let Xiao Yi know that he had the ability to understand the thoughts of his pet beast.
But since he had already seen through it, he could not continue to hide it.
He could only reply vaguely, "Yes, I know a little bit of wolf language, so I tried to communicate with Little Silver."
Xiao Yi's eyes immediately lit up with surprise. He grabbed Ye Fei and asked, "How was the communication? What did Little Silver tell you?"
Ye Fei had no choice but to repeat what the wolf had said.
Xiao Yi felt extremely guilty after hearing it.
"I should have let Little Silver go back earlier..."
"If I had let him go back earlier, he wouldn't have been so obsessed and wouldn't have lived such a miserable life."
"I thought I was treating it well by providing it with good food and drinks and hiring the best pet caregivers to take care of it..."
"But this is torture! I actually tortured it! I have actually been torturing it for more than three years."
Xiao Yi blamed himself so much that he wished he could slap himself twice.
Ye Fei could only comfort him, "This isn't your fault either. After all, you don't understand the language of beasts, can't communicate with Little Silver, can't understand the pain in its heart... This isn't your fault."
Xiao Yi still could not forgive himself.
He hugged Little Silver's neck and buried his entire face into the wolf's fur. He sobbed, "Little Silver, it's my fault for forcing you to stay by my side."
"I'm sorry, I'll take you back to the lost forest now. No matter what, I'll help you find your husband and child!"
"When the time comes..."
Xiao Yi cried so hard that he could hardly continue.
"When the time comes, whether you want to stay in the lost forest to accompany them or go to the other world to reunite with them, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you... I'll never let you suffer like this again."
He really saw Little Silver as very, very important.
So important that even if Ah Yin wanted to leave him, or even leave this world, he was willing to endure the pain to fulfill its wishes.
Ye Fei looked at the scene of a man and a wolf hugging each other. He felt as if sand had entered his eyes. He silently looked up at the sky and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.
Then, he quietly walked further away, leaving enough space for Xiao Yi and Little Silver.
This allowed Xiao Yi to cry to his heart's content.
After a long time, Xiao Yi found Ye Fei with red eyes and asked in a deliberating tone, "Can you accompany Little Silver and me to the Lost Forest?"
"Although Little Silver can understand what I'm saying, I don't understand wolf language, so I can't understand what it is trying to say."
"Other than you, I can't find anyone else who can communicate with Little Silver, so please, can you come with us?"
"No matter how much you want, I'm willing to give. I just hope that you don't refuse."
This was the first time Ye Fei heard Xiao Yi speak to him in such a pleading tone.
In fact, this was also the first time in Xiao Yi's life.
Before this, he had never stooped so low as to beg people.
