After asking the question, Mo Qianshang walked about ten steps away, but still couldn't hear the bird respond with a chirp.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself inwardly. It was just a coincidence. What bird is so intelligent that it can understand every word we say?
Thinking this to herself, she didn't stop walking. Regardless of whether the bird could understand her words, the bird seemed very anxious, probably because it had noticed something was wrong.
Could it be Liu Xiaolan?
After all, she was able to get to know the little bird yesterday thanks to Liu Xiaolan.
But the road was winding and she went further and further away. The villagers' camp gradually disappeared from sight. She even doubted whether she could return the way she came after reaching the bird's destination.
Suddenly realizing this, she quickly took out a small knife from her sleeve and started making marks around the area.
Without realizing it, she gradually moved the location where she made her marks from various stones on the ground to the thick tree trunk, and she suddenly stopped.
Looking at the dense forest before her, Mo Qianshang's eyes were filled with surprise.
"You actually brought me out of here?"
The little bird still didn't respond to Mo Qianshang. Perhaps it was getting too picky, so it finally let go of her clothes and started pecking instead.
It has to be said that this little guy, despite its small size, is quite strong. The pain brought Mo Qianshang back to her senses, and she continued to follow the direction the little bird was leading.
Half an hour later, the bird finally landed under a big tree.
Seeing the two large birds huddled together on the ground, seemingly on the verge of death, Mo Qianshang finally understood the purpose of the little guy's hasty journey.
They probably wanted her to save the two big birds.
I didn't rush to bring her yesterday, mostly because I was observing her. I didn't expect this little one to be so cunning!
She patted the little guy's head to reassure him, then exchanged some sophisticated instruments from the shop and began to examine the two large birds.
In the past, when they were on field missions with their partners, they would rescue injured animals whenever they had time.
Before she became a mercenary, she never imagined that mercenaries, who appeared fierce and tough to outsiders, would have such a gentle side.
After a thorough inspection, Mo Qianshang reluctantly put all the instruments back into the store, her eyes lowered and her voice low.
“Little ones, I’m so sorry. They weren’t injured by accident. It was just the natural end of their lifespan. There’s really nothing I can do.”
Whether the little guy understood her or not, Mo Qianshang silently walked to the side, leaving the two big birds with their family for the remaining time.
Only when a sharp, mournful cry rang out did Mo Qianshang turn around.
The two large birds had completely lost their vitality. Mo Qianshang stepped forward, picked up the little guy from the two birds, and kissed its little head.
"I will help you bury them properly. Now, will you come with me, or will you look for your other relatives?"
The little guy didn't call out, but silently flew onto her shoulder, which was his way of answering her.
Actually, Mo Qianshang was still a little worried that the little ones wouldn't go back with her. After all, she wasn't very familiar with the way back, and if she accidentally went the wrong way and got back too late, the little ones would worry.
When burying the two large birds, Mo Qianshang took a special look at their appearance and was surprised to find that they did not resemble the small birds much.
Judging from the bird's appearance alone, Mo Qianshang couldn't determine which kind it was, so she had to give up.
As long as this little guy doesn't cause trouble, there shouldn't be any harm in keeping him.
On the way back, the birds were noticeably quieter, but they followed the correct route without making any mistakes. Mo Qianshang soon returned to the villagers' encampment.
She glanced around habitually, a hint of doubt creeping into her eyes.
Liu Xiaolan was actually willing to lower herself and chat with Liu Zhuzi.
Moreover, judging from the way the two were chatting and laughing, it didn't seem like Liu Zhuzi was just being wishful. Liu Xiaolan seemed quite happy and even accepted the gifts Liu Zhuzi gave her.
"Mommy, I miss you so much!" Qin Yuya called out to her, running towards her with her little legs.
Worried that the little one might fall, Mo Qianshang quickly looked away, stepped forward, and hugged the little one in her arms, affectionately pressing her tender, delicate face against her skin.
My little girl is so pretty, she loves her so much!
It's a pity there hasn't been a suitable place to bathe her recently, and her little one's face is quite dirty. She'll definitely give her little darling a good bath once they leave this desolate mountain tomorrow.
So the next morning, Mo Qianshang told the village chief that she could take everyone out so that everyone could have breakfast as soon as possible.
Everyone was so excited that they didn't even want to eat, wishing they could leave this desolate place in the blink of an eye!
Knowing they would have a long journey ahead, the group reluctantly ate some food, and then, led by Mo Qianshang and Xiao Lian, they left the wasteland.
Upon seeing the long-lost greenery, the children excitedly rolled around on the grass, while the adults had tears in their eyes, expressing their gratitude to Mo Qianshang.
"It's all thanks to you, Miss Mo, that we were able to leave that awful place! If you ever need any help in the future, just let us know!"
"That's right, we may not have much else, but we certainly have strength!"
*
Hearing the simple and sincere thanks, Mo Qianshang smiled in return, but before she could say anything, a chilling sarcasm destroyed the moment of warmth.
"Tch! If she hadn't led us astray that night, we wouldn't have ended up in the middle of nowhere. What's there to thank her for!"
Liu Xiaolan sat on the stone slab to rest, her beautiful eyes filled with malice and disdain, which made her look rather repulsive.
Villagers immediately retorted, "That's not how it works. Back then, nobody knew the way, so how can you blame her!"
"Who else is to blame but her? You? Or are you having an affair with her, so you're taking her side?" Liu Xiaolan pressed aggressively, her whole demeanor as prickly as a hedgehog.
The man who happened to be speaking up for Mo Qianshang was a married man, so he didn't dare to continue the conversation and awkwardly retreated into the crowd.
Mo Qianshang didn't blame the other party. She really didn't want to get entangled with Liu Xiaolan any longer, so she took her little daughter and went to find a place to take a bath.
Some mad dogs, the more you pay attention to them, the more they bite and won't let go. When no one pays attention to them, they feel bored and naturally subside.
That's how Liu Xiaolan was.
As expected, after the main character, Mo Qianshang, walked away, she also turned and left the spot.
After walking for a short while, Mo Qianshang found a secluded spot suitable for bathing. She first gave her little girl a thorough bath.
After that, I had my little girl keep watch around, and call out to her if anyone got close.
Unexpectedly, just as she started washing, Mo Qianshang heard her little daughter's slightly anxious voice, which startled her so much that she reached out to grab the clothes on the shore.
Without realizing it, her undergarment fell into the water.
"Mommy, my stomach is a little upset. I'm going to relieve myself over there. Don't worry, Mommy, I'll be right back!"
"good."
Her undergarments were already soaked, and it wasn't convenient for her to get up and accompany her daughter to the toilet. Mo Qianshang could only watch her daughter run away and make sure there was no danger around before continuing to take a bath.
After washing the dirt off her face, Mo Qianshang was about to continue when the cracking sound of a dry twig snapping underfoot suddenly rang out...
