ing, "It's very simple, you could just get bitten by a venomous snake."Zhao Lu didn't consider whether being bitten by a venomous snake would be fatal, she directly agreed, "Okay."It wasn't fear of Mu...Fu Lingxiao listened intently as Mu Xing recounted her past, thinking to himself that when he met the "fat aunt" she spoke of, he would thank her sincerely and compensate the little girl for the lack of maternal love in her life.
Soon, the two arrived at a house made of mud.
The walls were of ochre-colored brick, topped with black tiles. The house was surrounded by a waist-high fence, the door firmly shut. To either side of the entrance lay patches of land overgrown with withered weeds, evidence that they had been neglected for a long time.
Fu Lingxiao's handsome brows furrowed slightly. Mu Xing had already pushed open the fence gate and walked in, "Auntie Fat, Maomao, I'm here!"
No one responded. Fu Lingxiao grabbed Mu Xing, "You stay here, I'll go take a look."
He let go of Mu Xing's hand and walked over to the door, just as he was about to push it open, he saw a piece of paper stuck in the crack. He took it out, glanced at it, his handsome brows relaxed, and walked back to Mu Xing, handing her the paper.
Mu Xing picked it up and took a look. The handwriting on the yellowed paper was already faded:
Little clumsy girl, Maomao went to Blue City for university. I wasn't at ease leaving her alone so I went with her. Don't worry, FattyAuntie, when FattyAuntie comes back I'll bring you some delicious food.
Are both Fatty Auntie and Mao Mao in Lancheng now
Then the fruits she brought for them, she and her uncle could only eat themselves!
Mu Xing put the paper away and took the man's hand, "Let's go."
As they returned to the mountain path, Mu Xing took the lead and ran uphill. Her petite figure disappeared into the overgrown trail, vanishing in an instant. Only her soft voice echoed: "Little uncle, walk slowly. I'll go ahead and take a look."
Fu Lingxiao, uneasy, quickened his pace to catch up.
After walking for a while, I saw that petite figure. She didn't know where she got a sickle from, but she was walking and swinging it, cutting away the weeds covering the mountain path.
I originally thought that this little girl was running so fast because she was eager to get home, but it turns out she was running ahead to clear the way for him.
He made a mistake, shouldn't have listened to the little girl and driven over. He should have insisted on taking the helicopter.
Fu Lingxiao took two steps and walked over in one. "Little fool, don't cut, I'm fine."
Mu Xing turned back and smiled at him, then continued to hack away, "It's what you asked for. The mountain path is difficult to navigate anyway. I don't want my uncle to be scared on his first time up. I also want it to be easier for Master when he comes back."
Fu Lingxiao: ...How do you feel that the last half sentence is the key point
I'm a little upset.
It's fine, after all, he is just a little thing's master. Little thing is just respecting the elders.
"Baby, I'm coming."
Fu Lingxiao reached out to take the scythe from Mu Xing's hand, but the little girl swatted it away. "No, Uncle Xiao's hands are for holding pens and signing documents, how could they do such rough work."
"It's not that expensive."
When I was training in the special forces, I had gone through all kinds of hardships. "Come here,"
Mu Xingjian saw that the man was insistent, so she had no choice but to give him the sickle. She stretched out her hand to take the thing in his other hand, "Uncle Xiao, let me get it."
"No, stay behind me."
Fu Lingxiao carried something in one hand and a sickle in the other, cutting weeds as he walked up the mountain.
Mu Xing followed behind him, watching his neat and tidy movements, her eyes sparkled: Even the way Uncle is mowing the lawn is particularly handsome!
Arrived at the stone house.
Mu Xing hurriedly took out her key, opened the lock, and ushered him in, "Little uncle, come in and rest!"
Fu Lingxiao placed the things on the table, Mu Xing had already taken a cloth to wipe the stool clean. She knew her uncle had a cleanliness obsession, and wiped it several times, “Uncle, the stool is clean now, please sit.”
The stool was a long, narrow bench. The lacquer had peeled off, and even though it was wiped very clean, the mottled and aged appearance still made it look somewhat dirty.
Fu Lingxiao frowned imperceptibly, overcoming the mental hurdle and sitting down on the stool.
Mu Xing quickly wiped the table too, and then ran to the kitchen.
Fu Lingxiao sat for a while and then went to the kitchen. The gas stove was boiling water, and Mu Xing was standing by the sink, washing dishes.
He walked over and encircled her slender waist from behind, "Honey, take a break, no rush."
Mu Xing's hands didn't stop, "After washing these, I'm going to the mountains to hunt. At noon, I'll let my little uncle taste some of Qingyun Mountain's delicious food!"
Fu Lingxiao wasn't really interested in food, but the little girl was so enthusiastic, he couldn't bear to dampen her spirits. "Alright, let's go together."
Mu Xing finished washing the kitchen utensils, filled a pot with boiling water, took a snakeskin bag, and led the man out of the door towards the mountains, holding his hand tightly.
In the deep, dense forest, towering trees with lush foliage intertwined their branches. Sunlight pierced through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground.
Two figures, one big and one small, were hidden behind the thick trunks of trees.
Fu Lingxiao carefully observed the little girl hiding to his side, not afraid of any ferocious beasts, but worried about snakes, insects, mice, and other vermin. Things like these were especially venomous in this dense forest.
The little girl from the side suddenly turned her head, pointing to the distance and whispered to him: "Uncle, look quickly, the skewers of mutton are waving at us."
"..."
Fu Lingxiao followed her direction and saw a grayish-brown goat grazing with its head down.
Goats that inhabit the semi-open valleys and foothills can be found here in this deep mountain forest. This Qingyun Mountain is truly magical...
Mu Xing was already eager to get close. She crouched down, approaching the goat silently and cautiously.
The goat didn't realize the danger until it was too close. As if sensing the threat, it tried to flee but was caught off guard by a punch that sent it flying into a tree.
The force was so great that the whole tree shook, startling a flock of birds into flight.
"Ha! I got some delicious lamb skewers!"
Mu Xing happily skipped towards the sheep she had knocked unconscious.
To go hunting today, she didn't wear a little skirt, but specially wore pants. Her top was a tight-fitting short sleeve that reached her navel, slightly revealing her small waist. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and just her back exuded infinite coolness and agility.
Fu Lingxiao walked toward Mu Xing, his eyes deep and fixed on her figure.
He had never seen anyone who could blend together softness, innocence, fierceness, and sexiness—qualities that were so completely opposite—without it seeming contradictory.
Only this little thing, she is so unique.
Shen Yi said, he dug up a treasure, and he thought, it was like this.
His darling, like a magnificent treasure, was full of temptation, making him always want to get closer to her, explore her, and finally be consumed by her...
Mu Xing grabbed the goat by the horns, lifted it up, and slung it over her shoulder. Turning back to the man, she gave him a sweet smile, "Uncle, I'll go dig some more vegetables, then we can go home and grill kebabs."
This little guy is really energetic.
Fu Lingxiao took the goat from her shoulder, holding it in his hand, "You dig, I'll follow you."
The little girl said she dug up wild plants, including but not limited to vegetables, various fruits, and medicinal herbs. She filled a snake skin bag full of them.
Two people, one carrying a goat and the other a snakeskin bag, walked hand-in-hand back to the stone house.
Mu Xing directed the men to place the goat on the stone platform by the door and went inside to get a knife to process it.
From doing housework to hunting and gathering wild vegetables and herbs, and now even slaughtering goats, the little girl is so skilled it's heartbreaking. She has grown up this way her whole life, hasn't she
Fu Lingxiao tenderly held her hand, taking the knife from her grasp. He gently kissed her brow and said, "From now on, leave these kinds of things to me."nsciousness was hunger, followed by pain.She frowned just slightly, and a warm hand immediately touched her cheek, the fingertips gently kneading her brow with a soothing touch.The moment she opened h...
