Chapter 314 - Give Me A Name
Chapter 314 – Give Me A Name
Lin Jiansheng hugged the wine bowl and sat by the bonfire. After downing a bowl of hot wine, his stomach felt warmed. He then leaned against the tree trunk behind him and completely relaxed.
He squinted his eyes and stared at the dancing flames. Gradually, he started to feel sleepy.
Yu Huang also drank a bowl of wine. At this moment, her head felt a little dizzy.
She grabbed her phone and wanted to call Sheng Xiao. However, Broken Cliff’s grievances had disrupted the satellite signal. Moreover, it was snowing. She could not call him at all, let alone talk to him through a video call.
Yu Huang tried a few times, but failed. She immediately placed her phone on the ground angrily and muttered, “What lousy place is this? There’s no signal at all.”
The little boy stared at the little thing by Yu Huang’s feet and asked curiously, “Is this a phone? Can I play with it?”
Yu Huang asked him, “You’ve never played with one before?”
“Only once, but only for a little while. Then it went dark and I couldn’t play anymore.” It must have turned off when there was no electricity.
The little boy hurriedly stood up and ran to Yu Huang’s side. He squatted down and picked up Yu Huang’s cell phone. Holding the cell phone, he said to Yu Huang, “I think many people have this kind of toy. What does this cell phone do?”
“Didn’t your mother tell you?” In modern society, mobile phones and computers had long been popularized all over the world. Even in those poor countries, mobile phones were in everyone’s hands.
How could there be a child who had not touched a phone before?
The little boy immediately shook his head. “No. Mom and I rely on hunting for a living. Most of the time, we live in the woods and rarely contact the outside world. We don’t even know who to contact after buying a phone.”
Yu Huang was silent.
That’s right. This little fellow’s mother was a monster. Who should she call anyway? Should she call the police and surrender herself? That monster might not even recognize numbers.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Huang said, “Little guy, sit over here. I’ll teach you.”
“Okay.”
The little boy picked up the rock that he had been sitting on earlier and moved it closer to Yu Huang to set it up. As soon as he sat down, he heard Yu Huang say, “What’s your name?” They couldn’t keep calling him little fellow.
The boy lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. He looked a little sad and flustered.
Yu Huang looked at him thoughtfully for a while before saying, “Still no name?”
“My mother always calls me Baby.” The little boy raised his head and said to Yu Huang, “I don’t have a name yet. Why don’t you give me a name?”
“Me?”
Yu Huang had never given anyone a name before. She didn’t expect that the first time she gave someone a name, it wasn’t for her own child but a little fellow whom she had just met for the first time.
“Let’s call you… Kong Qing.”
“Kong Qing?” the little boy said. “That’s a strange name. I’ve never heard of such a name.”
“Oh, so what kind of names have you heard?”
After carefully recalling, the little boy said, “Third Brother, East Egg, Mike, Jack…” The little boy opened his mouth and recited a bunch of names that he often heard. It was as tacky as it could get.
He lived in this primitive forest. All he had heard were the names of the hunters.
“Kong Qing is a type of ore that has the ability to clear one’s eyes.” Yu Huang suddenly stroked the boy’s messy fringe. She stared into the boy’s bright and clear eyes and said, “May your eyes forever be as clear as a spring.”
The boy froze.
He pursed his lips, lowered his head, picked up a handful of snow from the ground, and held it in his hands to play with before molding the shape of a little rabbit. He stared at the little rabbit while saying, “This name is nice.”
“Then call me Kong Qing.”

“Okay.”
Yu Huang unlocked her phone and bent down to explain to him how to use the phone.
“Hey, if you want to play with a phone, you must first learn how to recognize numbers. This is 1, this is 2…” Yu Huang was not a patient person. When she explained how to play with a phone to the air stewardess, she was also lacking in words.
She had only taught him the numbers twice in total, and the rest was the usual procedure. Yu Huang only explained for ten minutes before she handed the phone to Kong Qing. “Figure it out yourself.”
Kong Qing looked at her with her phone in his hand and asked, “Is there a game where hens lay eggs? I know how to play that.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
A hen laying eggs?
She took the phone and opened the software store, only to realize that there was no signal. “Wait here. The signal here is not good. I’ll fly into the air to help you find the signal.”
Yu Huang immediately spread her peacock wings and flew into the sky above the forest.
Kong Qing looked up at the dazzling red color in the sky. He picked up a branch from the ground and threw it into the bonfire. His bright eyes reflected the flames.
Her greasy face looked even redder.
At this moment, a little thing let out a cry. Kong Qing raised his head and stared at Lin Jiansheng for a moment before realizing that Lin Jiansheng’s clothes contained something alive.
Lin Jiansheng was woken up by that thing. He put down his wine bowl and pulled open his jacket. A snow-white dog jumped down from Lin Jiansheng’s arms and landed beside the bonfire.
It was the spirit pet Yu Huang.
Kong Qing, his eyes filled with curiosity and fondness, stared at Yu Huang.
Lin Jiansheng lifted Yu Huang’s neck and pressed it on his leg. He took out the holy water and gave Yu Huang a small sip before saying to Kong Qing, “This is a spirit pet, a companion dog.”
Kong Qing stared at the little thing’s shiny white fur, licked his lips, and innocently said, “This is beautiful. It can be sold for a good price.”
Lin Jiansheng was speechless.
He subconsciously held Yu Huang tighter. He asked Kong Qing, “How can you tell?”
Kong Qing said in the tone of a hunter, “This little spirit pet looks very smart. It’s very beautiful. The women in the big cities love to raise such things as pets.”
Lin Jiansheng was silent.
“It doesn’t have teeth?” Realizing that the spirit pet didn’t have teeth, Kong Qing looked up at Lin Jiansheng and said, “Did you break its teeth?”
“No, the previous family that raised it did it.”
Kong Qing nodded. “A small animal is also a life,” he said. “It’s not good to abuse a small animal.”
“Yeah.”
Yu Huang floated in the heavy snow and aimed her phone in the direction of the city. After searching for a while, she finally received a weak signal.
Yu Huang braved the snowstorm to download a game of hen laying eggs for Kong Qing before returning to the forest.
The moment Yu Huang saw Yu Huang, he immediately jumped out of Lin Jiansheng’s arms, went past the bonfire, and landed on Yu Huang’s shoulder. Yu Huang handed the phone to Kong Qing, grabbed Yu Huang’s neck with one hand, and pulled him into her arms.
Lin Jiansheng continued to doze off while Yu Huang also leaned against the tree trunk to take a nap. Kong Qing held the phone and focused on playing the game of hen laying eggs.
It was a very simple game. It was the computer game that Peppa Pig and his brother George were best at.
Kong Qing played with relish.
