Well, when she doesn't use 'silent treatment', she stares at me with her big, watery eyes, as if being looked at by those eyes means I've already committed an unforgivable mistake.
I don't know if I made such a mistake.
Today, Pei Gu stopped halfway through the reconnaissance mission.
"You really aren't coming out?"
The little feet, clad in straw sandals woven by Pei Gu, shrank back from the side of the big tree.
Hmph, I don't want to go out.
Pei Gu, that big bad guy, goes out for so long every day without taking me with him. Who knows if he's going to abandon me?
Perhaps because she was particularly sensitive to the idea of being abandoned, Xiao Anman had recently started to follow Pei Gu's trail after he set off.
If Pei Gu hadn't taken care of her, this little directionally challenged girl, she would have disappeared long ago.
However, the little one stubbornly believed that she had not been exposed, so no matter how many times Pei Gu stopped and called her to come together, she would check and not show herself.
It was obvious that a small section of her clothes was showing, but who knew she could stick to her tiny 'principle' so stubbornly. Pei Gu sighed, recalling how obedient and well-behaved Xiao Anman was when he rescued her from Xuan Yin's clutches.
I wonder what Xuan Yin was thinking at that time, and whether she felt helpless in front of this little guy.
Xuan Yin, who fled abroad to seek refuge after the base explosion: Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently abroad, just got off the plane. I've never taken care of a child before, but I once kidnapped an 'ancestor'. The difficulties involved are indescribable; you can imagine for yourself... I have a conflict of interest, so I'll remain anonymous.
At this moment, Pei Gu simply couldn't be aloof towards her, because Xiao Anman, who used 'silent violence' to ignore people, was even more aloof than him.
After confirming once again the small figure hidden by the big tree behind him, Pei Gu looked at the small puddle at his feet and could only shout a warning: "There's a puddle here, remember to go around it."
Xiao Anman clung to the tree trunk and stomped her little foot.
I'm not that stupid.
And so, the little dumpling, with one leading the way and the other tiptoeing and trying to 'follow' it, traveled a long way.
This time, the journey was longer than any previous one.
Pei Gu had a vague feeling that they had chosen the right path this time.
only...
I estimated the time and realized it was almost lunchtime. I wondered if the little dumpling behind me was hungry.
After all, she has an amazing appetite.
So Pei Gu used his military knife to clear out a circular dining area nearby.
He gathered some firewood and began to use whatever was available, while also taking out the dry rations he had been carrying in his bundle.
The fact that Xiao An was able to follow Pei Gu so persistently for so many years was certainly not just because of Pei Gu's appearance.
Why is that?
Yes, it's because Pei Gu has an amazing talent for cooking. Yes, even the simplest things become exceptionally delicious after Pei Gu's processing.
I wonder what kind of magic his hands possess.
Anyway, he completely captivated Xiao An.
Soon, the enticing aroma of food wafted over to Xiao Anman's place.
Holding her round, but actually hungry little belly, Xiao Anman felt an urge to drool just from the aroma.
Pei Gu glanced at the little feet hiding in the shadows, which seemed ready to pounce, and for some reason, he felt a little amused.
The more lively Xiao An is exceptionally childlike, making it really impossible for anyone to get angry with her.
"The meat's cooked, but nobody wants to eat it?"
Even Pei Gu seemed to have picked up this childishness; he held up the meat he had already grilled and was about to put it in his mouth.
As a typical carnivore, Xiao Anman exclaimed: "Meat! Meat!"
Waaaaah, her chubby cheeks.
Because of the cold war last night, she only ate a little bit of barbecue and is still craving the taste. Xiao An is really craving it.
"If no one wants to eat it, then I'll just have to eat it myself."
This time, we not only saw the little feet that were eager to move, but also the little paws that were peeling off the tree bark and seemed particularly excited.
Pei Gu suppressed a laugh and, in front of the little dumpling, took a bite of the fragrant meat.
The little claws of the succulent, scratching at the bark, seemed to be caught in a battle between heaven and man, so conflicted!
If we don't go now, Pei Gu will eat all the meat.
But if I go there, won't Pei Gu discover me?
So, should we go or not?
Oh well, whatever, I really need to finish all the meat. I'll be too full, otherwise there won't be anything left in a little while.
After a fierce internal struggle, the little dumpling finally made up her mind.
Don't miss a single bite of the meat that should be swallowed! Let's go!
With a clattering sound as she walked, her straw sandals showing signs of wear and tear from walking for so long, Xiao Anman appeared before Pei Gu at top speed.
Ahem, to protect the little one's self-esteem.
Pei Gu, without any formal instruction, displayed a surprised expression.
The general meaning is something like, "Wow, you were hiding so well? You were really right behind me!"
The little dumpling seemed quite satisfied with Pei Gu's performance, so it sat down next to him without much resistance.
There were several skewers of roasted meat in front of Pei Gu, which he had specially prepared for Xiao Anman.
It tastes just right if you eat it now.
Because she had eaten delicious meat, Xiao Anman no longer cared about the 'grudges and entanglements' of the past two days.
Watching the little dumpling eat with relish, Pei Gu had a feeling that perhaps they could leave this place today.
