Ever since Qiu Ge appeared, the two horses have been spinning in circles with their four hooves. If Jian Ning and Ma Fuquan had not been experienced and had not been gently stroking the horses' withers, the two horses might have given up long ago.

Qiu Ge also subtly moved a little further into the grass. It looked no thicker than a bowl, and both Jian Ning and Ma Fu felt unsafe. Besides, it couldn't possibly carry four people. Jian Ning asked Ah Man to ask if it could be transformed into a whip. If it could be a whip, she'd be fine. But she was worried about scaring the four little ones with such a long snake, and even more worried about it scaring the villagers if she kept it at home.

Her house is bustling with people coming and going every day, so it seems inappropriate to keep a big snake at home.

Ah Man was a little disappointed. The little girl was thinking about Brother Qiu taking her flying, but she was more worried that Jian Ning would not take Brother Qiu back. She talked to Brother Qiu for a while and looked at Jian Ning, "Auntie, Brother Qiu said it can't change back. It can't change on its own. It was that bad guy who changed it."

"Master, it's okay. You and my father ride the horses, and I'll take my sister A'man to ride the snake." Ma Xiaomai was a young man at heart, curious about new things, and looked eager to try. If his father hadn't held him down, he would have jumped off the horse long ago.

"No, the wind is too strong at night and Ah Man can't bear it. It's not a journey of a few miles." When riding a horse, Jian Ning always let Ah Man sit facing him. Besides, Brother Qiu is not an airplane after all, and the safety factor remains to be verified.

"Auntie, Brother Qiu wants to go back with us, please don't leave him behind, okay?" Ah Man looked at Jian Ning pitifully and pleaded.

"Take it back. It has been domesticated for too long and may not be able to adapt to survival in the wild for a while." Ma Fuquan saw that Brother Qiu was afraid of disturbing the horse, so he consciously moved it a little further into the grass. He felt that the horse still had some intelligence. If it was released into the mountains for a long time, its wild nature would be stimulated and it might cause harm to the people around.

"Or I can take it home and raise it." he said again.

"Sister Tian will be scared, so I'd better take her back." Jian Ning thought that Ma Fuquan had to go to the county government office during the day, and Ma Xiaomai's mediocre skills were not enough to deal with emergencies, so it would be safer to take her back herself.

As for the four little ones, go back and try to do the work first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll think of another way.

They still chose to ride horses and let Qiu Ge follow behind.

At first, Brother Qiu was still walking obediently in the grass by the roadside, but he felt aggrieved. It was obvious that he could fly much faster than a horse, and he was not used to such slow movement. With a straightened snake body, he suddenly took off into the air. After taking off into the air, Brother Qiu instantly turned into a behemoth, and his body became several times thicker.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Ah Man and Ma Xiaomai exclaimed at the same time.

Could this thing even get thicker? Jian Ning was also amazed. Ma Fuquan was quite calm. He used to be a staunch atheist, but since traveling through time, many of his views have been refreshed, and he is no longer surprised.

The two children's exclamations excited Brother Qiu. He flicked his tail and leaped into the air like a dragon. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a small black dot in front.

Ah Man started to retch loudly, which was earth-shattering. Was this horse dizziness?

Jian Ning quickly reined in the horse and patted her on the back. Just as she was considering whether to feed her some medicine, Brother Qiu flew back again, landed in the grass, and instantly turned back into a long worm as thick as a bowl. He raised his head and looked at Ah Man with concern, then at Jian Ning.

Although it couldn't speak human language, when it met his gaze, Jane Ning understood what it meant, just like Linghu and Guoguo.

All things have spirits, and eyes are windows to the soul, whether between people or between people and animals. Jian Ning saw from Qiu Ge's eyes that he would not harm Ah Man, and even cared about Ah Man very much. Although she didn't know the relationship between Qiu Ge and Ah Man yet, there is no grudge or hatred in the world without reason. She just needed to know that Qiu Ge had good intentions towards Ah Man and them. The mystery would be revealed one day.

Jian Ning abandoned the horse and took Ah Man and Ma Xiaomai onto the snake's body. Ma Fuquan took out a hooded camouflage uniform from the space and gave it to Ma Xiaomai to wear as a windproof measure. Since he had the space, his original personal backpack appeared in the space.

Although it wasn't late autumn yet and there was no wind tonight, there would be some wind once they started flying. Jian Ning also took out her old camouflage uniform and put it on Ah Man. She and Ma Xiaomai sat with Ah Man between them, one in front and one behind. Neither Ma Xiaomai nor Ah Man had ever seen camouflage uniforms, and it was hard to see clearly at night. They just knew they had never seen anything like it. Ah Man chuckled and said, "Brother Xiaomai, mine is the same as yours."

"Of course it's the same. This one of yours was just given to your aunt by your brother Xiaomai's father." Jian Ning hugged her tightly. After Brother Qiu flew into the air, she screamed with excitement. How could she look like someone who had fainted from a horse?

Jane Ning seriously suspected that she had been deceived by this little girl. It seemed that this little girl wanted to experience the feeling of flying on a snake.

Ma Xiaomai was even more excited. The experience he had had for most of the day was enough for him to brag about in front of his friends for a long time. He kept shouting "yo-ho-yo-ho" from time to time, which made Ah Man shout along with him.

"Keep the wind at your back, be careful of the wind getting into your stomach." Jian Ning was really tired. She had to hold Ah Man down and remind them in a loud voice from time to time.

But it was great to have a flying tool. Soon they were above the entrance of Dingjia Village. Ma Xiaomai and A Man felt that they had not flown enough, so they both asked to fly back to see where Ma Fuquan was and then fly back.

Jian Ning estimated that Ma Fuquan had not yet arrived at Jiabaoao. He had to ride a horse and bring another horse with him. However, it was getting late. She had been out for half a day. This was the first time she had been separated from the four little ones for such a long time since she traveled through time. Today was also Dabao's first day to go to school. When she arrived at the village entrance, she was anxious to go home to see him, so she took their camouflage uniforms and rejected their request.

"There will be plenty of time later. Let's stop here for today. Your mother is worried at home. Go back quickly to tell her that you are safe so that she can rest assured. Ah Man also needs to go back to wash up and go to bed."

"My mother will break my legs if I go back. I'd better go to my master's house and wait for my father first." Not knowing whether Ma Xiaomai was really scared or just wanted to stay with Brother Qiu for a while longer, he followed Jian Ning to the old house.

From a distance, Jane Ning saw the lights on in her yard, and her heart warmed.

In her previous life, after Grandma Wu left, the house was left to her. No matter when she went back, the windows were always dark. Has anyone ever left a light for her?

It feels so good to have family. She picked up Ah Man and led Ma Xiaomai and walked quickly forward. After a few steps, she saw a man walking quickly towards her on the slope.

"You're back." Ding Youtian reached out to pick up Ah Man.

Ah Man had never met him before, but she fell into his arms obediently. Perhaps the smart little Ah Man guessed that he was Jian Ning's uncle, so she called out sweetly, "Hello, uncle."

"Yeah." Ding Youtian smiled and tapped her nose, then told Jian Ning, "There's hot water in the pot, and there's food. Chang and Tian helped make it."

This man, when she left, she didn't even know if she could come back tonight, but he actually boiled hot water for her. Jane Ning was caught off guard and was deeply moved. She also said "hmm" softly and looked up at him, but he raised his eyebrows slightly, then opened his left arm subconsciously to protect Jane Ning, and shouted softly, "My lady, be careful!"
