Standing at the door was a little girl of six or seven years old, and she was the homeless girl that Li Mu had rescued from the jaws of a vicious dog that night!

At this moment, the girl stood quietly at the door, her big, dark eyes staring at Li Mu.

This time, she wore a very clean white dress with red and green flowers, and a pair of brand new white sneakers.

Li Mu was a little confused. Hadn't the little girl already been taken to the police station?

Has she run away again?

Or has the police already found her family, and she came from home?

What puzzled Li Mu even more was how this child, who was suspected to be deaf and mute, found his home.

Did the police at the local police station tell her that?

Li Mu was filled with doubt and unease.

This little girl is mysterious and peculiar, because that day she was able to absorb his primordial spiritual energy into his Niwan Palace.

Li Mu believed that this was something that ordinary people could not do.

He had infused other people's bodies with the Returning Origin Spiritual Energy more than once, but apart from this little girl, the other people's primordial souls did not absorb the Returning Origin Spiritual Energy.

Let alone others, even his own primordial spirit cannot absorb the returning spiritual energy.

"Child, how did you find this place?"

After his initial surprise, Li Mu asked the little girl.

But the little girl just stared at him without saying a word, yet Li Mu could see a kind of joy and closeness in her eyes, as if he were seeing a family member.

The little girl didn't answer Li Mu's question. Instead, she went straight into the house and took Li Mu's hand, holding it tightly, just like when she had grabbed him at the police station that day and wouldn't let him leave.

Li Mu led the child to sit on the sofa, then stared into her eyes and asked, word by word, "Child, can't you really hear me? If you can hear me but don't want to talk, just nod, okay?"

To his surprise, the little girl actually nodded at him!

"So you can understand what I'm saying! Can you speak?" Li Mu asked quickly.

This time, the little girl shook her head.

"Oh, you can hear but not speak. That's quite rare. Generally, nine out of ten deaf people are mute. If your hearing is normal, you can usually speak unless there's a problem with your vocal organs. But Grandpa doesn't see anything wrong with your throat."

Li Mu looked at the little girl and spoke, then tried to silently cast a divination, but just like before, he was unable to divine anything about the little girl.

However, now that Li Mu knows the child can understand what others are saying, he feels things aren't so complicated anymore.

So she continued, "Child, did the police officer take you home?"

The girl shook her head.

"So you escaped from the police?"

The little girl nodded immediately.

"Wow, how did you find my house?"

Li Mu asked in surprise.

After all, it's not something an ordinary child can do to escape from the police station.

The little girl actually pointed to her own nose.

"...Huh? No way? You found me by smelling my scent?!"

The little girl nodded immediately, a smug smile even appearing on her lips.

"Wow! Your sense of smell is incredible! It's like a police dog!"

Li Mu's eyes widened in shock.

"Where do you live? Do you know your family's phone number? If you do, could you write it down?"

Li Mu asked again.

This time, the little girl shook her head.

"Child, you can't stay at Grandpa's house. How about I take you to the police officers?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Mu asked.

The little girl shook her head vigorously, her eyes clearly showing strong resistance.

Meanwhile, she held onto Li Mu tightly with her other hand, as if afraid that Li Mu would abandon her like he did at the police station last time.

Li Mu felt he couldn't just take in a homeless child without a clear plan. Since the child was already registered as a lost child at the police station, he had to send her back to the police station; otherwise, it would be illegal.

But seeing how unwilling the child was to leave him and go to the police station, he felt a little reluctant.

That day, after he forcibly abandoned the child and left the police station, he felt guilty, as if he had done something to wrong the child.

He then thought of his youngest daughter, Jiajia, who had been abducted and missing for over twenty years, and the guilt he felt deep inside inexplicably transferred to this little girl of unknown origin.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu decided to call the police to explain the situation and decide how to handle it.

He believed that since the child had secretly run away, the police station must be searching for him everywhere.

If they eventually find out the child is with him, things will get complicated, especially since the little girl can't even speak.

When the police station learned that the little girl was at Li Mu's house, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The police told Li Mu that the little girl had been crying and making a fuss at the station for the past few days, and they were unable to find her family or confirm her identity.

Then the leaders decided to send her to a children's welfare home, but the child refused to go no matter what, and even bit people when pushed too far.

There was no other way but to take her back to the police station.

Furthermore, the police said that the little girl had been expressing her desire to see the old man who saved her that night, who was none other than Li Mu.

They originally planned to talk to Li Mu to see if the child could stay with him temporarily until the child's family was found.

After all, you can't let a little girl live in the police station forever.

After learning about the situation, Li Mu finally agreed to temporarily take in the girl, but the police told him that he needed to take the child to the police station to register for temporary care.

The little girl thought Li Mu was going to take her back to the police station again, and she was very resistant. It took him a lot of explanation before he finally got her to nod in agreement.

So he took the little girl to the police station to complete the formalities.

When Li Mu brought the little girl home again, the little girl actually smiled.

Clearly, only now did she believe that the old man hadn't lied to her and had genuinely taken her to the police station to complete the procedures for taking her in.

What a mess!

Mingyue, that chatterbox, is gone, and now we have this quiet, reserved one!

But it's good, at least this old man has a companion now, so I won't be too lonely!

Looking at this pretty and beautiful little girl, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Little girl, can you write?"

Li Mu asked again.

If the child can write, their communication will be much smoother.

The girl shook her head.

"Um, can you draw?"

The girl nodded quickly.

Li Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief. Being able to draw was fine too; at least it was a way to communicate.

"What's your name? Can you draw it?"

Li Mu took out paper and pen from the study, placed them on the coffee table, and then looked at the little girl and asked.

The little girl nodded, then quickly picked up a pen and drew a snowflake on the paper with great smoothness and speed.

To Li Mu's surprise, this little girl was quite good at drawing. The snowflakes she drew had smooth strokes, symmetrical structure, and the circles were drawn perfectly.

To be able to draw such a round pattern in one stroke without using any drawing tools is something that even art professionals might not be able to do!

It's clear that this little girl is very bright and intelligent.

"Oh, so your name is Snowflake. Your drawing is really good!"

Li Mu gave the little girl a thumbs up.

"Hehehe!"

Unexpectedly, after being praised by Li Mu, this quiet little guy burst into laughter.

"How old are you? Can you draw it?" Li Mu asked again.

This time, Xuehua thought for a moment, then picked up her pen and started drawing on the paper again.

This time, she simply drew a small circle on the paper.

One, two, three...

Li Mu thought that the child was probably using a circle to represent one year old.

However, when the snowflake drew the seventh small circle, it did not stop, but continued to draw, and it did not stop even when it drew the tenth circle!

Not only did he not stop, he drew faster and faster!

This puzzled Li Mu.

Logically speaking, this girl looks like a six or seven-year-old child, how could she be over ten years old?

However, what happened next was even more incomprehensible to Li Mu.

Because the snowflake actually drew a total of 120 small circles on the paper!
