Chapter 826 Promise
Manbao's mouth was covered. He reached out to pull his hand off, but found that Zhou Hu's big hand was covering it very tightly. He couldn't help but look at Bai Shan for help.
Bai Shan stepped forward and helped pull his hand down.
Zhou Hu finally reacted and quickly let go of his hand.
Manbao exhaled before saying, "My parents told me, Brother Zhou Hu, could you please stop being so jumpy?"
Zhou Hu swallowed, looked at Bai Shan, then looked at Man Bao, and couldn't help asking: "Why did your parents tell you this?"
Manbao looked at him, the big and the small staring at each other in silence for a moment, and Manbao lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhou Hu, don't tell anyone about this, don't tell Sister Hu either."
Zhou Hu: ...Which household in the whole village doesn’t know about this?
However, when he met Manbao's eyes, he nodded.
The three of them left Zhou Hu's house, walked to the edge of the field, found a place to sit in a row, facing the setting sun.
Daji stood silently behind them to protect them.
Zhou Hu also looked around carefully before asking, "Why are you asking these questions?"
"I just want to go and take a look. I asked my eldest brother and the others, and they said that the one who played best with my dad was Brother Zhou Hu. You followed my dad every time he went into the mountains."
Zhou Hu said, "He not only went to Dahu Mountain, but also went to other mountains. If you want to see the places he has been to, then I will take you to other places."
"No, I'll go to Dahu Mountain."
Zhou Hu frowned.
Manbao looked at him insistently, "Brother Zhou Hu, please, can you take me to see where my dear father likes to go in Dahu Mountain the most, where he goes most often, or where he has been the farthest?"
Zhou Hu was silent for a moment, unable to bear Man Bao's gaze, and could only nod, "Okay, but there are a lot of places. Do you have time?"
Manbao became happy and said, "We'll go out early tomorrow morning and try to finish the trip in one day."
Zhou Hu smiled and thought it was impossible, because his father was a hunter and had taken him and Zhou Yin into the mountains many times before. They had to stay in the mountains for a night when they went to the deepest place.
However, he didn't tell Manbao that he planned to take her to visit some places, but she was tired and sleepy, so she naturally gave up.
Manbao didn't know Zhou Hu's plan. She happily said goodbye to Bai Shan and left. After returning home, she discussed with Ke Ke, "I'm going to rely on your help tomorrow."
Keke said, "I'll do my best, but I can only scan an area of 800 meters with you as the origin at a time. Dahu Mountain is so big, it's probably going to take quite a while."
Manbao clenched his fist and said, "It doesn't matter. We've waited for twelve years, and Liu Gui and the others have been looking for four years. I don't mind spending a little more time looking."
Koko said: "It would be great if the host could upgrade more."
Manbao was ashamed. "I feel so ashamed for always cramming at the last minute. I will work harder in the future."
Koko responded and stopped reminding the host.
Manbao was filled with endless fighting spirit and got up early the next morning to go into the mountains. Zhou Silang of course had to follow him, and this time even Zhou Erlang followed him.
When Koko saw Manbao was about to go into the mountains empty-handed, she dodged. Manbao came to her senses and immediately turned around to carry out her own small backpack and hoe.
Zhou Silang glared at him and said, "You came into the mountains to look for something, and you're thinking of digging up flowers and plants?"
Manbao said seriously, "Don't delay either. Fourth brother, you have to know that everything in the world is mutually beneficial. Two seemingly unrelated things are actually inextricably linked."
Zhou Silang: "I've racked my brains but can't figure it out. What does looking for the things my uncle left behind have to do with those flowers and plants you dug up?"
"That's because you are not smart enough and don't know enough." Manbao carried the basket and left.
Zhou Erlang said to Zhou Silang, "Alright, if you want to take Manbao with you, then take her. Stop bothering her."
Zhou Silang died unjustly. Who was the one who was not doing his job and making trouble?
But Zhou Erlang obviously didn't care about his feelings. In the past two days, except for those people who didn't know the truth, everyone in the Zhou family, from Old Zhou to Zhou Zhoulang, were cautious with Manbao and responded to every request, for fear that she would be devastated by her life experience.
So don't even think about the fact that she just wants to carry a basket and a hoe up the mountain to dig herbs. She wants to pick the stars in the sky, and Zhou Dalang and the others have to find a way to get her something similar to coax her.
Zhou Silang followed silently. When they arrived at the village entrance, Bai Shan and Daji were already waiting there. As a result, Bai Erlang also ran out of the house.
He glared at the two of them angrily and said, "I finally caught you. Tell me, what did you do behind my back these past two days? Why can't I find you?"
Bai Shan said, "We have to go up the mountain to look for something. It's very tiring. Do you want to go?"
Bai Erlang stared at the basket on Manbao's back, surprised. "You brought so many people with you to the mountains to dig for herbs? How precious are those herbs?"
Manbao rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Ganoderma lucidum!"
Bai Erlang's eyes widened and he immediately said, "Impossible! How could there be Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain?"
"Why not?" Manbao said, "Zhisheng Valley, our Dahu Mountain is so big, maybe there are some there. Has anyone seen one there?"
"who?"
Manbao lied without hesitation, pointing at Zhou Hu and saying, "Brother Zhou Hu."
Bai Erlang immediately looked at Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu nodded reluctantly, "That's right."
Bai Erlang's heart was moved, but he still asked, "Why didn't you pick it then?"
Zhou Hu opened his mouth and looked at Manbao.
Manbao said, "Because he didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, when he went back in, the Ganoderma had been eaten by some wild beast."
Bai Jilang's face was full of regret.
Man Bao said seriously, "I think since we can find Ganoderma lucidum once in the mountains, there must be a second and a third one. So I want to go into the mountains to look for it. Do you want to come with me?"
Bai Jilang began to think.
Bai Shan said, "Are you still going to the Taoist temple today?"
"The temple fair is over, why should I go?"
Bai Shan: "Then you have nothing to do in the village, why not come with us to the mountains."
Bai Jilang thought so too, so he followed them.
Halfway through the journey, Liu Gui and three other people caught up with him, carrying a sickle. Bai Erlang couldn't help but look back at them.
Bai Shan explained, "We haven't started working in the fields yet. I figured Liu Gui and the others would be idle anyway, so why not go up the mountain together?"
Bai Erlang asked quietly, "What if we don't find anything?"
"If you haven't found it, it means your destiny hasn't arrived yet. Just look for it next time." Bai Shan was anxious before, but he thought about it last night and felt that Man Bao was right. Twelve years have passed, so why rush it in just one day?
Bai Erlang was shocked, "You brought so many people with you to the mountain to make trouble, didn't your great-aunt scold you?"
Bai Shan shook his head.
Bai Erlang was particularly envious, "Grandma and Aunt are so nice."
Bai Shan and Man Bao turned their heads to look at him and said, "Your grandmother and mother are the ones who dote on you the most, okay?"
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
