Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 103: There Are Delicious Things on the Mountain!

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: There Are Delicious Things on the Mountain!

We finally found water!

Such a water pit is enough for everyone to have a good drink, fill all the containers, and even the last bit of muddy water wasn’t spared.

We used soft cotton cloth to filter out most of the dirt, let the remaining water sit overnight, and then pour out the clear water on top.

By then, whether for washing hands and face or scrubbing pots, it can be used.

In short, no one wants to waste even a drop. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yi Meng thought about coming back at night to fill some more water, so everyone could freshen up in the morning and maybe even wash some clothes.

But that night, before she took action, the sudden return of Xiao Bai interrupted her plan.

Yi Meng knew that Xiao Bai could understand her words, but it wasn’t easy for her to figure out Xiao Bai’s intentions.

The small white snake twisted and turned on her wrist, and the icy touch made Yi Meng feel uncomfortable.

If she didn’t know Xiao Bai wouldn’t harm her, Yi Meng would wonder if it was measuring whether it could swallow her whole.

Eventually, Yi Meng ran out of options and could only bring over her daughter who was about to fall asleep beside Mrs. Qi.

"Manbao, can you understand what Xiao Bai is saying?"

Yi Meng looked at her precious daughter for help.

Qi Manman’s eyes lit up, "Mom, Xiao Bai is back?"

"Yes, it’s back, here it is!"

Yi Meng lifted her sleeve a bit, revealing the small white snake twisting around her wrist.

Qi Manman excitedly reached out with her tiny hands to grab the head and tail of the small white snake.

The straightforward action made Yi Meng’s mouth twitch.

Just as she was about to ask her daughter to let go, she saw Xiao Bai very cooperatively curling itself as tightly as possible.

With Qi Manman pulling Xiao Bai off Yi Meng’s wrist, Xiao Bai slid off smoothly like a couple of bangles.

"Xiao Bai, I missed you so much!"

Qi Manman held Xiao Bai in both hands and nuzzled it against her cheek.

Xiao Bai affectionately rubbed its snakehead against Qi Manman’s cheek.

"Xiao Bai, where have you been? You don’t know, we ran out of water and almost died of thirst!"

Qi Manman held the small white snake and vented her complaints face to face.

Xiao Bai flicked its tongue.

Qi Manman nodded, "I see! That must’ve hurt really bad! I remember Grandpa used to say when you shed your skin, it hurts a lot!"

The small white snake flicked its tongue again.

Qi Manman continued, "So you don’t have to leave this time, right?"

The small white snake: flicks tongue.

Qi Manman: "But the weather’s getting colder. If you don’t stay with us, what will I do if I miss you?"

The small white snake continued flicking its tongue.

This time, Qi Manman didn’t say anything but looked at her astonished mother.

Yi Meng saw her daughter’s pleading little eyes and snapped back to reality.

"Manbao, why are you looking at me like that?"

Yi Meng had a bad feeling.

Qi Manman gently pushed Xiao Bai towards her and pleaded pitifully, "Mom, Xiao Bai is afraid of the cold and wants to sleep when the weather gets cold. But if it finds somewhere else to sleep, I wouldn’t be able to see it, so could we keep it?"

"..."

Yi Meng looked at the small white snake and guessed, "You want to go into the space, don’t you?"

This time the small white snake didn’t flick its tongue but instead nodded very human-like.

Alright, she figured as much.

Yi Meng took a deep breath and said seriously, "You can go in, but if you come out, it might be colder outside, and I won’t take Manbao inside. So, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Xiao Bai nodded again and started flicking its tongue at Qi Manman.

Qi Manman, like a little adult, kept nodding, occasionally adding, "I got it."

When Qi Manman handed Xiao Bai over to Yi Meng, she knew everything that needed to be said was said, so she didn’t ask further and put Xiao Bai into the space.

The space wasn’t too big or too small, but fitting a small white snake was easy.

Yi Meng didn’t care where it went, picked up her daughter, "Manbao, feeling sleepy? Mom will put you to bed."

Qi Manman didn’t resist, snuggling quietly in her mother’s arms and whispered, "Mom, Xiao Bai said there’s a lot of good food on the mountain. Let’s go find it tomorrow!"

"Alright, sleep first. Kids who don’t sleep well don’t grow tall."

Yi Meng softly coaxed.

Nestled in her mother’s gentle embrace, Qi Manman quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Yi Meng heard about the goodies on the mountain.

Seeing everyone falling asleep, except for the men on duty who were walking and chatting.

They had no choice; they were too tired during the day, and if they didn’t move around at night, they would fall asleep quickly.

If everyone slept, and if something dangerous happened in the middle of the night, they wouldn’t even have time to react before it’d be all over.

Tonight, Qi Quanjin took the first shift, so after covering the kids with blankets and adjusting the luggage to block the wind, she got up to find Qi Quanjin.

"Brother Jin, sister-in-law’s here."

As soon as Niuzi saw Yi Meng coming over, he grinned and informed Qi Quanjin.

Qi Quanjin turned and indeed saw his wife walking over.

Niuzi chuckled, "Brother Jin, I’m going to pee!"

After saying this, he ran off.

This guy is silly, sure, but he’s not completely foolish. He still has a bit of tact.

"Wife, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

Qi Quanjin walked a few steps towards Yi Meng.

Yi Meng looked at the crowd, signaling Qi Quanjin to walk aside.

The couple walked a bit further away before Yi Meng quietly said, "Xiao Bai is back and said there’s a lot of good food on the mountain. Manbao wants to go up the mountain tomorrow to take a look. Brother Jin, what do you think..."

Yi Meng didn’t dare to make decisions directly, fearing unknown dangers in the mountains.

After listening, Qi Quanjin looked at everyone’s carts.

Although they started after autumn harvesting and had a good amount of grain stored up.

But even with plenty of grain, it was just grain.

Before, they could gather some wild vegetables to eat, but now they couldn’t even find fresh roots.

Without vegetables, many were experiencing some health issues.

Qi Quanjin himself hadn’t had a bowel movement in five or six days.

After thinking it over, Qi Quanjin said, "Alright, I know about this. You go rest; I’ll discuss it with Dad and Uncle Wang."

Yi Meng trusted her husband’s judgment, knowing the four elders were wise, letting them decide would be more effective.

So she said no more and lay back down with the children.

Meanwhile, Qi Quanjin went near the fire.

Qi Zheng, about to lay down to rest, heard footsteps and immediately straightened up, "Fourth Brother, what’s up?"
