Chapter 216 Going up the mountain



Ma Minghua's voice could be heard from outside: "Nan Nan, Nan Nan, we're here! Are you awake yet?"

Cuihua shook her head with a smile. Nannan would never get up so early. This little girl loves to sleep in late in winter, and no one can change that. Tang Xiaoling quickly opened the door and saw three big bears standing outside. They were all dressed too warmly.

Seeing Tang Xiaoling's gaze, Ma Mingyuan felt a little embarrassed. His parents were probably afraid that they would freeze to death, but they wouldn't let them go out if they didn't wear clothes. Wearing them was fine, at least they weren't cold, not cold at all.

Yan Xiaonan can forget about sleeping in today. Liu Jin next to her is making a huge fuss, rolling over and over her and pulling at her blanket. Yan Xiaonan has no choice but to get up, brush her teeth, wash her face, and eat breakfast.

Grandma Yan's unhappiness vanished under the mischief of Liu Jin. Why be unhappy about such things? There are too many things around us that are worth being happy about.

The group encountered Ye Chenming and his sister waiting at the foot of the mountain. Yan Aidang greeted Ye Chen'er happily as soon as he saw her, but when he saw Ye Chenming, he was surprised. Where had he seen this face before?

Ye Chenming quickly turned to look at his father. Yan Daqiang's face was calm, but Yan Aidang, who knew his father's temper well, saw the surprise in his eyes. Perhaps Yan Aidang's doubtful expression was too obvious, Ye Chenming felt a little uneasy.

Yan Xiaonan greeted Zhong Nan. This was the first time Yan Xiaonan had greeted Zhong Nan since she lost and recovered her powers. Every time, Zhong Nan would come down from the mountain and snuggle up to Yan Xiaonan, reluctant to leave.

Not only Zhongnan heard the call, but Tiger King also excitedly ran down. Yan Xiaonan knew something was wrong, so he quickly used a gentle tactic to coax Tiger King into watching over his Yan family cave.

Tiger King was very unwilling, but with its keen sense of smell, it knew that Nan Nan had brought many people, making it inconvenient for it to show itself. However, it still let out a few mischievous roars to scare them and vent its anger.

Except for Southwest, everyone's expression changed drastically. Yan Daqiang even considered canceling the picnic. Nan Nan, on the other hand, was more than happy to go. It was so cold that it was inconvenient to do anything. But Yan Aidang was unwilling to miss this opportunity. Who knew when he would be able to come again?

Yan Aidang was not a selfish person. He kept his eyes on Yan Xiaonan the whole time. Before the tiger roared, Nannan kept her eyes closed. Even when she heard the tiger's roar, she didn't see any panic on her face.

That means Nan Nan knows about this tiger. Since she's not afraid, they must have a way to get along peacefully, so what's there to be afraid of?

When Yan Daqiang saw that his son insisted on his own opinion, he agreed to go into the mountains. This kid is a shrewd person. He must have discovered that Nan Nan is different from others.

Zhong Nan ran down and threw himself into Yan Xiaonan's arms. Yan Xiaonan stumbled and almost fell, but she held Zhong Nan tightly and asked with concern, "Where's your wolf wife?"

Zhongnan looked back and sure enough, its wife was standing on a high place watching them. Zhongzi got excited and ran to Zhongnan, chattering away. Zhongnan affectionately nudged it with its nose, making Zhongzi jump around like a silly dog.

Yan Aidang finally saw the real wolf: "Nan Nan, this is Zhong Nan, the son of the wolf king."

Yan Xiaonan nodded: "This is Zhongnan, and it is now the Wolf King."

Yan Aidang was both scared and expectant. He stretched out a hand to Zhongnan and said, "Zhongnan, I'm Nannan's cousin. Can you accept me? If you can, let me touch you, okay?"

Zhongnan roared in agreement.

Yan Aidang glanced at Nan Nan, and seeing her nod, he quickly ran over and stroked Zhong Nan. "What coarse and stiff wolf fur!" Yan Daqiang ran up to her and said, "Zhong Nan, we meet again."

Zhongnan twitched its nose, let out a howl, and agreed.

Yan Zheng, who was behind him, burst into tears. He was terrified. It was a wolf! When he was little, his mother always scared him, saying that if he didn't behave, a wolf would come and carry him away. He had been disobedient last night.

Yan Ge was also a little scared, but he still held his younger brother and stood firmly without moving. He whispered to his brother, "Yan Zheng, don't be afraid. Didn't you see Zhongnan before? It even bit your pants, remember?"

Yan Zheng remembered, but back then Zhongnan was a dog, how did it turn into a wolf? Thinking of this, his fear lessened considerably: "Nannan, is Zhongnan a dog or a wolf?"

“Zhongnan is a wolf, he’s my younger brother,” Yan Xiaonan replied, word by word.

Southeast and Southwest nodded in agreement. Central South and the Golden Cudgel had saved Nan Nan's life; they were even closer to him than his own brother.

“Zhongnan, I’ll be obedient, can you not bite me?” Yan Zheng asked.

Zhongnan gave him a disdainful look, let out a yelp, and agreed.

That's how kids are; their emotions change so quickly. Once their fear is gone, it's time for them to let loose. Yan Zheng grabbed Yan Ge and said, "Brother, let's go up the mountain."

The ground was a bit slippery, so everyone walked carefully. Finally, they arrived at the place where they used to have a barbecue. Ma Mingyuan and the other two got busy. Zhongnan and his wolf wife brought back a lot of pheasants and rabbits, and even stole Tiger King's lunch, a roe deer.

Tiger King lay at the entrance of Yan Family Cave. "You dead wolf, what are you trying to steal? I won't let you steal it, but you still managed to steal it."

The firewood was lit, the pheasant was cleaned up, and since there were no large tree leaves in winter, Yan Xiaonan used the bamboo leaves stored at home instead. As for the soil, Yan Xiaonan only secretly did a little bit.

An hour later, the aroma began to waft out. Yan Aidang was gnawing on a rabbit leg and a pheasant leg alternately with both hands, looking just like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for days.

There was still six jin left, sitting next to Yan Xiaonan, his hands, mouth, and clothes all covered in oil. Dongnan was initially worried that eating too much would be bad for his digestion, but after he gnawed on a rabbit leg for a long time without finishing it, he felt relieved.

There were many people today, and Yan Daqiang, being a veteran with extensive field experience, knew exactly what a picnic was like. Several people set up several trellises to ensure that everyone had something to eat, including Zhongnan and his wolf wife.

Yan Xiaonan secretly tossed a roe deer leg aside. Zhongnan quietly walked over, picked up the roe deer leg, and ran back to the Yan family's cave. Tiger King's heart was finally at peace, but Nannan was still thinking about herself.

The beggar's chicken had a very unique flavor, and Yan Aidang kept praising how delicious it was. His belly was already bulging, but he still couldn't stop eating. Yan Xiaonan had no choice but to ask Zhongnan to get a few more wild chickens to continue making beggar's chicken.

Yan Daqiang even regretted not bringing any wine with him, as roe deer meat goes perfectly with baijiu (Chinese liquor).
