“Aka”.
The chubby little girl held a flower missing two petals in her hand, her chubby arms affectionately wrapped around He Fengmian, and she kept calling out, "Aka."
Seeing that their lips were about to kiss, not only did Neldonagi rush forward, but He Fengmian also quietly turned his face away.
Naldonaji quickly hugged his daughter and spoke to her in his native language, his expression somewhat serious.
But the little one just stared at her father with wide, innocent eyes. When she turned to look at He Fengmian, she grinned and laughed happily, calling out, "Aka."
He clearly didn't understand what his father was saying at all.
As the elderly father, Neldonaghi wanted to be angry but couldn't bear to, so he could only use his last bit of stubbornness: "It's Ta, not Aka."
“Aka”.
Nieldonaghi: "..."
My head hurts.
Shulan was overjoyed, thinking that whether it's a person or an animal, the chubby cub stage is the cutest.
He couldn't help but ask, "Can I hug her?"
"Yes." As a father, Neldonaghi was naturally happy that someone liked his daughter.
Shulan stretched out her hands and greeted her with a smile, "Ima, can Auntie hug you?"
The chubby little girl wasn't shy at all and immediately leaned towards her with an incredibly sweet smile, making Shulan exclaim, "So cute, she'll definitely grow up to be a beauty."
The people of the Celestial Tribe, though similar to those of the Great Phoenix Dynasty, have much more defined features.
The little girl has big, round eyes and looks a bit like a pretty girl from Xinjiang.
Looking at little Yima, she missed Fatty a little.
They left in a hurry, and Fatty was sleeping. They don't know if he looked for them after he woke up.
Little Yima seemed to understand, and smiled even more happily, pressing her little face against Shulan to express her affection, while calling out, "Ta ah."
They clearly felt she resembled an older sister, not an aunt.
After interacting with little Yima for a while, Naldonaji's wife took their daughter away, and he led the two of them on a tour of the tribe.
He inquired, "Dr. Shu, how is the old priest doing?"
This is not just a matter for him, but for the entire tribe.
Shulan said, "As long as the phlegm is expelled, there won't be any major problems. However, since he is old, we can't let him eat too much phlegm-producing or cold food. Just pay more attention to him in daily life and there won't be any issues."
She said something, and Neldonaghi nodded, remembering it very carefully.
The old priest was very important to their tribe. The reason he fell ill this year was because he helped the tribe escape a calamity, but he also revealed a heavenly secret and was punished by the mountain god.
Although they knew that life and death were predestined, they naturally hoped that the old man would live as long as possible.
He couldn't tell the two of them these things, but he and the entire tribe were very grateful that Shulan had come.
Therefore, the two were respected by everyone in the tribe.
Shulan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it would be best to avoid a war.
However, the two did not let their guard down; they simply found the tribe quite novel.
Because it was very hot the next day, I heard that this was a sign of a big drop in temperature, and it might snow in a couple of days.
Shulan's eyes widened: "Will it snow here in a couple of days?"
Neldonaghi nodded: "Yes, there is the first snow, so you can leave tomorrow morning so you can get home before it snows again."
Actually, if the snow were heavy, he would have asked him to stay a few more days.
Using snow deer to pull the sleds to take them home would be much faster than walking.
But this first snowfall isn't heavy, and the temperature has suddenly dropped; I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it.
Shulan nodded: "Okay."
After observing the old priestess tonight, all she needs to do is add more medicine.
She looked at the sky in the middle that was not blocked by trees. It clearly felt like summer. Was it going to snow soon?
However, this sweltering weather is fine for people who live like this all year round, but it's quite uncomfortable for Shulan and He Fengmian.
Naldonaji and his wife, worried that the two men might feel uncomfortable, planned to take them to the back of the mountain for a soak.
There's a medicinal bath over there that their people often use; soaking in it is good for their health and keeps mosquitoes away.
After walking for about half a cup of tea's time, just when Shulan was about to give up, they finally arrived at the back of the mountain.
There are actually two pools here, not only with flowing water, but also cleverly separated by a high and thin mountain wall, like a screen, so that men and women can bathe separately.
Neldonaghi's wife placed a medicine packet near the source of the flowing water, and the packet slowly floated downstream with the water.
Soon after, Shulan smelled a fragrance, faint, like a mix of mint and chamomile, which smelled very pleasant.
She could vaguely hear He Fengmian and Naldonaji's voices over there, but she couldn't make it out clearly.
At that moment, only she and Neldonaghi's wife were there, and she felt a strange sense of security.
I took off my clothes and went into the water.
The water was cool but not icy, which was very comfortable. In this sweltering weather, being able to soak in such a comfortable medicinal spring was simply wonderful.
Because of the language barrier, Shulan and Naldonaji's wife didn't talk much; the two just stayed there.
Even so, Shulan was still in a very good mood.
After getting dressed, with her hair down, she saw the man who had just come out, his hair also disheveled.
It has to be said that she has a beautiful face and a great figure. With her hair down like this, she has a unique kind of beauty.
Even though Shulan wasn't someone who cared about looks, she was still deeply moved.
I think you should run away from a man like that as soon as possible, because if you fall for him one day and can't control yourself, you'll be in big trouble.
Seeing her expression and noticing something was off in her eyes, He Fengmian quickly asked, "How's the soaking?"
Speaking of this, Shulan was overjoyed: "Very good."
I couldn't help but whisper to the people around me, "The scenery here is really beautiful, and it's also very convenient."
After all, they chose a hot spring area.
Although not every household can have a hot spring, some members of the tribe with higher status and greater prestige can enjoy hot springs at home.
There are also hot springs for other people, and I heard that there are waterfalls and flowing water not far from here, on the back mountain.
So they can not only hunt, but also eat fish.
With abundant water resources, other things are naturally plentiful as well.
It's like a paradise, a place where people can escape war and avoid the ravages of conflict, while also enjoying everything that nature provides.
He Fengmian looked at her, her eyes half-closed in enjoyment, and asked, "You like it?"
Shulan nodded without hesitation: "I like it, but if I had a choice, I would still prefer to live in a bigger place."
Quiet is good, but liveliness also has its advantages.
Whether good or bad, what she chose was what was most comfortable for her.
