"Big sister, look, I caught a lot of big bugs again!"
During the rest period, Leng Xiaoran was tireless and kept searching under the surrounding stones. After a while, he caught more than a dozen centipedes. He happily presented the bamboo tube to Chaoge, wanting to take credit and seek praise.
Aunt Li took a closer look out of curiosity, and suddenly a centipede crawled to the top of the bamboo tube. The creepy half of its body frightened Aunt Li so much that she screamed, and she quickly retracted her neck, gasping for breath!
"What's wrong with this little, little third child? He never played these games before.
How come he's already playing with bugs after only being out for a short while!
Oh my god, this is so scary, this thing is said to be poisonous!"
The words "young master" almost came out of her mouth, but fortunately Aunt Li reacted quickly and changed her words.
"Humph, I won't tell you!"
Aunt Li had lived in the mansion before, but she only helped out in the kitchen and rarely went to the front yard.
So Leng Xiaoran was not very familiar with her and just treated her as an acquaintance.
Can't really get close.
He remembered what his brother and sister said, that the fact that the insect could be exchanged for money must not be told to anyone, so Leng Xiaoran had an expression that kept people at a distance, which directly embarrassed Aunt Li.
In order to ease the embarrassment, or perhaps to please Chaoge, Aunt Li hurriedly opened her cloth bag and took out a coat.
"Little pigeon, why are you covered in blood?
Come on, I don't have any food, but I have several changes of clothes. You can change into one of them. The blood has dried up, and it's really scary to wear it."
Aunt Li was lucky enough to escape the previous wolf pack incident. She must have been walking ahead of Chaoge and the others these days, so she didn't see Chaoge slaughtering the wolves.
Chaoge didn't hesitate to take Aunt Li's coat and put it on.
Although there were people all around, Chaoge was not afraid because he was wearing a vest over his clothes.
The blood on my body is all wolf's blood. It is really disgusting to wear such dirty clothes. I am not afraid of anything except that the blood will attract some wild beasts, which would be bad.
After changing into Aunt Li's clothes, Chaoge took out some wild fruits and distributed them to everyone. Aunt Li took them with trembling hands and thanked them repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Li had sharp eyes and saw the dried meat in the backpack, so Chaoge had to take out the dried meat again.
She doesn't even want to eat this thing. If she explains, Aunt Li will probably have other ideas.
“Hey, I went up the mountain just for a bite to eat, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to come.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything when I went up the mountain yesterday. I had to eat tree bark all day. Fortunately, little pigeon met you.
Not only did you save my life, you also gave me food..."
As she spoke, Aunt Li's eyes became moist.
"No problem, we were neighbors.
Since we have met, it is fate. I hope we can reach a safe place with food and water as soon as possible."
"Auntie Li, you are even worse off than us. I'll give you my dried meat to eat."
Leng Furong looked at the dried meat and simply handed it to Aunt Li.
Unexpectedly, Leng Xiaoran changed his previous arrogant attitude and excitedly handed the dried meat to Aunt Li!
"I've been eating meat every day these days, so I don't want to eat this jerky anymore. Aunt Li, you eat it!"
Aunt Li looked at the dried meat cut into strips, thanked repeatedly excitedly, and quickly took it.
They actually have dried meat to eat. It is true that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If she follows these young masters in the future, she will no longer suffer those hardships.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Aunt Li!
You also eat, you also eat. "
Seeing the two kids giving the dried meat to Aunt Li, Chaoge lowered her eyes and smiled softly. It seemed that the dried meat was also offensive in the eyes of this brother and sister.
Forget it. Aunt Li didn’t see that scene, so she shouldn’t feel disgusted.
"The food is all here, take whatever you like. You can also light a fire and cook now. Uncle Dong and the others may still have some things to discuss, so they probably won't be in a hurry for the time being."
Sure enough, amid the indignation of a group of villagers, Zhou Daqiang was forced to go down the mountain to search for the bodies of the villagers who died.
Chaoge, who thought she had nothing to do with him, had just finished eating the wild fruit in her hand when Zhou Dong and Zhang Shufen walked towards her.
"Little Pigeon, um, uncle and aunt have a request?"
Chaoge was puzzled, and hurriedly stood up from the ground, showing respect to the couple, and looked at them with a smile: "Uncle Dong, if Auntie has anything to say, please tell me, I will definitely do my best to help if I can."
Look at this elegant girl from a wealthy family, she really speaks differently from the people in their village.
Zhang Shufen thought secretly, the smile on her face got bigger, she reached out and grabbed Chaoge's wrist, her eyes suddenly became red.
Chaoge's heart was already filled with alarm bells. Although he said "it is my duty", he had already figured out how to balance it in his heart.
If it's too difficult for her, she definitely won't help.
“Well, look at these villagers going down the mountain. Although they are all young people, it is still dangerous to go down the mountain.
You, your leopard seems to be obedient to you, can you let it go down the mountain with you to protect them?"
It was Zhou Dong who said this. Without waiting for Chaoge to reply, Zhang Shufen held her hand even tighter and said, "Look, your brother Daqiang is also going down. Considering that your brother Daqiang is so kind to you and your siblings, can you agree to let him go?"
Chaoge didn't want Black Panther to leave them. On the one hand, they also needed protection, and on the other hand, he was afraid that these people would do something bad to Black Panther.
After all, when people are very hungry, there is nothing they can't do.
But Zhou Daqiang was among them, and he did not treat them as hypocritically as Zhou Dong and his wife, so she was a little hesitant for a moment.
Without waiting for Chaoge to answer, Black Panther had already come to their side and nodded at Chaoge.
Chaoge was speechless. Black Panther had agreed, so what else could she do?
“Since it has agreed, let it protect Brother Daqiang and the villagers.
However, it is just a leopard. If it encounters other wild animals, it can handle them if there are few of them, but if there are many of them..."
Before Chaoge could finish, the couple had already smiled and said, "Don't worry, we just need to let it guard against the wild beasts. It can't help with anything else, right?"
Chaoge nodded, squatted down, and gently rubbed the top of the black panther's head: "No matter what time, you must protect yourself. We will not care about the others for now, but you must protect Brother Daqiang as much as possible.
Go quickly, and come back safely soon."
After Black Panther finished speaking, he rushed down the hillside. Zhou Dong called out to the villagers and followed him.
"Before they come back, let's look for water sources around here today. Little pigeons, do you want to come with us?"
“I’ll go!”
Without waiting for Chaoge to answer, Leng Liecheng stepped out and volunteered.
