Seeing the conflicted look on Mo Lin's face, Chen Yao rolled her eyes and realized that she had to act coquettishly to get the better of him. So she leaned in close to him and gave him a sweet kiss, shaking his hand and saying softly, "Mo Lin, take me with you..."
Mo Lin was silent. Although he was inclined to take her with him, he still had some concerns. She couldn't afford to make any mistakes at this time, otherwise both she and the child would be frightened.
Seeing that he was about to waver, Chen Yao grabbed his hand and gently placed it on her belly, smiling and saying, "Actually... the baby in my belly wants to go too."
Mo Lin pursed his lips, his eyes thoughtful. After hesitating, he confirmed, "Yaoyao, do you really want to go?"
Chen Yao's eyes widened as she replied, "I really want to go."
Mo Lin finally agreed and said, "Okay, then I'll take you there. However, we'd better be quiet to avoid being discovered by Grandma and the others, and then we won't be able to go."
Chen Yao nodded and whispered, "Okay, then we'll do it quietly."
…
In this way, they slipped out of the house quietly, just when Grandma and Wen Ning were not at home. However, Mo Lin also left a mark of his departure so that they would not worry if they could not find them.
Chen Yao was tightly protected by Mo Lin, walking easily on the road in the woods. After feeling the different air around her, she couldn't help but feel refreshed, and her whole body felt much more relaxed. The freshness of the air in this primitive environment and forest was indeed very different.
In this beast age, pregnant females often stay in their homes to take care of their fetuses and rarely go out to avoid bumps or danger from encountering any aggressive wild beasts.
But she has experienced the modern lifestyle and loves to travel around, so she is not used to staying in the same place all the time.
Now, she was finally able to go out and see some different scenery. She felt very happy and relaxed, and even wanted to stay a little longer.
Mo Lin held her hand and walked slowly, while paying attention to the movements around him so that he could detect any unusual movements and respond in time.
In addition to Mo Lin, the system was also carefully observing the surrounding situation and reporting the road conditions and distance to Chen Yao so that she could grasp the latest situation.
With the dual protection of the system and Mo Lin, and Chen Yao's own strength being not bad, she was not too worried about encountering any accidents.
In fact, the reason why she suddenly wanted to go to that mountain area was because she felt a vague guidance, as if there was some treasure waiting for her to pick up.
So, she decided to follow her intuition and go. What if...she really found some treasure? Wouldn't that be a win?
Moreover, it doesn’t matter even if she can’t pick it up. She can just treat it as a way to relax. After all, this is probably her last trip before giving birth. When her belly gets bigger... it will be really difficult for her to go out for fun again.
…
Fortunately, we got through the journey without any danger.
By the time they reached the Tianyue Orchard, there was still plenty of time for Chen Yao to enjoy the place for a while. Mo Lin was delighted to see her improved mood and relaxed demeanor. It seemed like they had made the right decision.
He led her to a flatter area, pointed to the sweet jujube trees around, and said, "Yaoyao, look at the fruit from whichever tree you want to eat. I'll pick some for you now, and you can wash it and eat it later."
Chen Yao looked at the fruits on the small trees around her and felt that those that were ripe looked similar and it was difficult to see any big differences. She pointed to a few trees and asked Mo Lin to pick them.
Mo Lin nodded, glanced at the trees, and gently told her, "Just stand here and wait for me to pick the fruits. Don't go too far. There are some small animals here. If you bump into them, you might lose your balance and fall."
Chen Yao said obediently: "Okay, but since I'm here, I want to pick some small fruits too. But don't worry, I won't pick many, just treat it as a fun activity."
Mo Lin glanced at the thorns covering the branch of the sweet yue fruit tree closest to her. He then took out a sharp tool, picked out a few twigs laden with fruit, and silently removed the thorns from them. Then he asked, "Are these enough? If not, I'll cut a few more."
Chen Yao nodded happily and said, "That's enough, I'll just pick these."
Mo Lin smiled and touched her head, saying softly, "Then pick them. Pick the sweet berries growing on the thornless branches. Be careful not to get touched by the thorns on other branches."
Chen Yao: "Okay."
…
About half an hour later, Chen Yao finally felt satisfied with the picking. She smiled with satisfaction and then fanned herself with her hands to dispel some of the heat from the sun.
Seeing that she stopped picking fruits, Mo Lin stopped as well. He walked over to her with several bamboo tubes full of sweet yue fruits on his shoulder and showed them to her.
Chen Yao followed his guidance and found that every fruit he picked seemed to be carefully selected. They were big and plump, and at the perfect ripeness, with an attractive luster and sweet aroma.
This made her praise him, "Mo Lin, you're amazing! These sweet yue fruits are so good, aren't they? Did you pick them as you went along?"
Mo Lin nodded, grabbed a handful of sweet yue fruit, rinsed them thoroughly with the water in the water bag he brought, and then put them in a clean empty bamboo tube, handed it to Chen Yao, and said:
"I try to pick the biggest and best fruits. I've picked quite a few already. I'll take them back with me later. You can keep them at home and eat them for a few days before they go bad."
He paid so much attention to detail that Chen Yao felt so warmed that she kissed him sweetly.
Mo Lin smiled and personally fed her the washed small fruit, then looked around, trying to find a place to sit down and rest.
Chen Yao noticed a few large rocks not far away and pointed over there, saying, "Let's go over there to rest. The large rocks over there should be enough for us to sit on."
Mo Lin nodded, took her arm and walked over carefully.
After sitting down, he continued to feed her. After eating a small handful, Chen Yao nudged him and said, "You should eat some too. I remember you like this too."
Mo Lin smiled, picked up a few fruits from the bamboo tube and put them in his mouth.
Chen Yao changed her position, leaning against him, slowly stretching her legs forward in a relaxed posture.
Suddenly—
She felt as if her outstretched toes touched a hard object, a hard object like an exposed stone?
