Heavenly Blessed Baby: Fleeing Famine, Busy to Prosper!-Chapter 121: Mom, Can We Go See the Horses With Dad?
Qi Quanli was so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks: "Fourth brother, what’s your problem? You stop halfway through your sentence, you’re going to drive people crazy!"
Qi Quanyin, who usually enjoys verbal sparring with Qi Quanli, also stood on his sixth brother’s side this time. He said to Qi Quanjin, "Fourth brother, just say what you want to say! Everyone’s already quite tense, and you stop halfway, who are you trying to make anxious?"
Not only these two brothers but everyone else also looked at Qi Quanjin with constipated expressions.
They all wanted to know what Qi Quanjin was going to say next!
Qi Quanjin still didn’t speak, instead, he glanced in the direction of his wife.
It just so happened that Yi Meng was also looking at Qi Quanjin at that moment.
The couple’s gazes met through the air, and although they didn’t say anything, they understood the meaning in each other’s eyes.
"So that’s how it is!"
They both thought of the topic they had just discussed.
Sure enough, it was heaven that sent the animals to pull the cart.
They weren’t falling from the sky but were driven out of the woods by a pack of wolves.
However, this was so bizarre, there was really no way to explain it to everyone!
Qi Zheng noticed the silent exchange between the fourth son and his wife and realized something, quickly saying, "There’s no need to be anxious. Think about it, what did the wolf pack do before? They brought us prey and protected us. This time they drove wild horses over, so they must be bringing them to us!"
Everyone was stunned by these words, clearly not believing this explanation.
Qi Quanjin quickly followed up, "Right, that’s what I mean. To find out if it’s true, I’ll go and test it."
"How do you know? You’re not a wolf, how can you surround the horses like them?"
Qi Quanli pursed his lips, not believing for a second that his fourth brother had that ability.
Qi Quanjin knew he didn’t have the skills of a wild wolf, but he had thought of another way.
"It’s so dry right now, even finding water sources is tough for us, let alone the animals. I’ll bring in a basin of water to test it. If the wolf pack really brought us the horses, they’ll let me in. If not, it has nothing to do with us, and we’ll just leave."
Without giving others time to react, Qi Quanjin called to Yi Meng, "Wife, quickly bring me a basin of water!"
Yi Meng instantly understood what Qi Quanjin meant.
This was using Space Spring Water to conduct an experiment.
Since the wolf pack had grown so trusting of them because of the spring water, then maybe this trick would work on the wild horses too?
Responding quickly, Yi Meng ran to the nearest water jar while adding some Space Spring Water as she scooped it.
But the others quickly caught on, and one by one tried to stop Qi Quanjin, including Qi Zheng.
Mrs. Qi angrily scolded, "Qi Quanjin, are you 150 pounds with 140 pounds of rebelliousness? You want to fight wolves for horses, why don’t you just fly to the sky?"
"Mother, I’m just testing, if it doesn’t work, I’ll leave immediately."
Qi Quanjin quickly calmed his mother’s temper.
If even his parents didn’t support him, he couldn’t do it.
Just then, Qi Manman, who was being hugged by Mrs. Qi, suddenly said, "Grandma, if we have big horses, we don’t have to push the cart anymore. If we don’t push, we won’t be tired, and Manbao can ride a big horse!"
Mrs. Qi, who was about to scold her son, was stumped, and all her scolding words got stuck in her throat.
Qi Zheng’s eyebrows twitched from the side.
So, the little granddaughter’s unusual insistence that the eldest grandson carry her back and forth was actually to have a horse pull the cart?
Everyone’s gaze was now focused on Qi Manman.
Admittedly, they also thought it was a good idea.
If they really had a horse to pull the cart, they would not only be less tired but could also speed up their journey.
With the weather getting colder, if they didn’t hurry, they’d end up spending the winter on the road.
Qi Quanjin, thanks to his daughter’s words, successfully stopped all opposition and, taking the water basin his wife offered, walked towards the wolf pack step by step.
Saying he wasn’t nervous would be a lie.
Qi Quanjin’s heart was in his throat, and when he noticed a wolf looking at him, he subconsciously stopped, loudly saying to the wolf pack, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here to bring water to the horses inside. Can I come in?"
With that, Qi Quanjin nodded and blinked, even considering putting down the basin to gesticulate.
The wolf pack froze for a moment, then the lead wolf let out a long howl, and the circle of wolves closest to Qi Quanjin parted to make a path.
The wild wolves on both sides were less than two meters from Qi Quanjin, and he could even smell the indescribable scent emanating from them.
Treading carefully, he feared taking a wrong step would provoke an attack. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The five horses inside the circle continued to pace uneasily, snorting and even displaying unfriendly bucking towards Qi Quanjin as he approached.
Qi Quanjin felt slightly assured about the wolves but not at all about the wild horses.
He placed the water basin less than three meters from the horses and started backing away.
As Qi Quanjin retreated, the circle of wolves began to disperse outward.
The wild horses seemed to sense the reduction in danger and tentatively approached the water basin.
Clop!
Clop!
Clop!
With the sound of hooves, the five wild horses finally reached the basin.
One horse lowered its head to sniff, then began to drink.
The remaining four horses also lowered their heads to drink one after another.
Seeing the horses drink, Qi Quanjin breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, the first step of the plan was a success.
Qi Manman wriggled in Mrs. Qi’s arms, and as the old lady was caught off guard, the little girl slipped onto the ground and toddled towards Yi Meng.
Yi Meng felt a weight on her leg, looked down, and saw her daughter, startling her. She quickly picked her up and was about to speak when her daughter softly said, "Mom, can we go see the big horse with dad?"
"No way, it’s too dangerous in there."
Without thinking, Yi Meng refused her daughter’s request.
Qi Manman sniffled, "But mom, the big horses only listen to Manbao and Little White. If we don’t go, dad can’t make the horses pull the cart for us."
Her daughter’s reminder made Yi Meng remember the little white snake in her space, so she asked, "Manbao, can Little White really make the horses listen?"
"Yes, Manbao can do it too!"
Qi Manman nodded vigorously, her big eyes full of anticipation, asking for praise and eager to try herself.
But Yi Meng still returned her to Mrs. Qi, then took a half bucket of water and walked to the back of the wolf pack, loudly saying, "Dear wolves, you can drink the water first! We’ll handle the rest."
