Chapter 43 Her feet can finally relax.
Many people from Shanglin Village went into the mountains this time, after all, finding water was a big deal, and even if they couldn't find water, they might encounter prey or wild vegetables.
Ning Bao was carried on Mu Chunping's back the whole time, and she felt a little embarrassed looking at the steep mountain path.
She leaned against Mu Chunping's back and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with her small handkerchief.
"Father, put Ningbao down. Ningbao can walk by herself."
This mountain path is very easy for me.
Seriously, I used to run around in the back mountains of Sanqing Temple all day long.
Mount Sanqing is much steeper than this place. I was able to walk freely in the mountains when I was less than two years old.
And since you've been carrying me on your back all this time, I always feel like I'm causing you trouble.
Ningbao spoke softer and softer, and pouted unhappily.
As Mu Chunping walked steadily forward, he spoke softly and affectionately.
"You're my daughter, I'm happy to carry you on my back, how could I find it troublesome?"
This mountain is too desolate, and you're only a little taller than me, standing in this pile of weeds...
Oh, although the grass is all withered now, it grows thick with dry grass here. If you, little one, burrow into the grass, you won't even be able to see yourself.
Besides, your mother and grandparents repeatedly told me to take good care of you.
"If you get hurt and go back, your grandpa will definitely slap me, your grandma will definitely yell at me, and your mom definitely won't let me into bed at night..."
Ning Bao: "..."
"Dad, you're so pitiful!"
"Alright," Shen Junshan said to Ning Bao with a smile as he walked beside Mu Chunping.
"Ningbao, don't listen to your father's nonsense. Your father is just worried about you and doesn't trust you to leave on your own."
But don't worry about tiring your dad out, I'm here for you.
"I'm your uncle, I can't be an uncle for nothing. When your dad gets tired, your uncle will carry you."
Mu Youcai, who was standing next to her, quickly chimed in, "Yes, Ningbao also has her uncle. Her uncle will carry you on his back."
Lin Jianfei continued,
"And me..."
Ning Bao chuckled as she looked at the group of people who had volunteered to carry her.
"Wow, so many people are going to carry Ningbao, so Ningbao's feet can be lazy."
"Squeak!" Suddenly, Lingling, who had been hiding in Ningbao's handbag, poked her little head out.
"Smack!" Ningbao stretched out her chubby little hand and slapped Lingling across the face.
"I've told you so many times, your meow is 'meow meow meow,' not 'squeak squeak squeak.'"
"Sigh! How could I have taken in such a silly little kitten who can't even meow? Let me tell you, if you don't learn to meow soon, I'm going to throw you away."
Faced with its master's tyranny, the spirit cat could only meow a few times.
Seeing that her cat could finally meow, Ningbao even had a feeling that her cat was growing up.
The cat couldn't bear to watch its master's "face" any longer, so it simply darted away.
Ningbao knew that Lingling was very smart. These past two days, it had often run out to play and never got lost. Now, even in the mountains, Ningbao believed that Lingling would not get lost.
"Jianfei, the vegetation around here is all withered, and there doesn't seem to be any water on this mountain. Do you think we're heading in the right direction?" Mu Youcai asked worriedly, looking at the desolate mountains and forests around them.
Speaking of this, Lin Jianfei was also full of worries. There was drought everywhere, so how could water be so easy to find?
He could only pray that they could find water as soon as possible in the next two days, otherwise they would die of thirst before they even reached the south.
These past few days, the water supply at home has been low, and everyone is carefully counting their water usage. Even so, it won't last more than a few days.
Seeing that everyone was worried about water, Ningbao stopped being lazy and quickly pulled out a small, dark compass from her bag.
She silently took it and started fiddling with it, when suddenly a thought struck her…
