The General's Wife began to wipe her tears, indicating that the General's trip to the frontline this time was more likely to bring misfortune than good fortune.
Little Taotie proposed, "I will go with my adoptive father."
"What can you do there?" The General's Wife treated it as a child's playful words, reached out to touch her head, and did not wish to continue the topic.
Little Taotie, playing the role of the young female lead, wisely did not continue, but her eyes started darting around.
Before the General departed, Little Taotie was nowhere to be seen.
Ultimately, the General did not wait any longer, he simply mounted his horse and rode off, while the carriage, slowly driven by the coachman, contained all of the General's luggage.
When the General arrived at the post station to rest, he lifted the carriage curtain only to see a little girl tilting her head and waving at him, softly calling out, "Adoptive father, hello!"
