Chapter 145 Difficulty Traveling
Lin Chunyi sighed with worry and said, "If we leave now, it's not just a matter of getting wet in the rain."
Most importantly, it was already dark, and I was a little afraid of encountering wolves or other wild animals.
"But if I stay here for one night..." As he spoke, his brows furrowed more and more.
Their eyesight is naturally not as good as that of nocturnal wild animals, which would allow them to move freely in the dark.
Moreover, the road is all muddy, making it difficult to use martial arts skills effectively. If we encounter any troublesome opponents, it will definitely be an even more strenuous and fierce battle than last time!
Lin Lanshan chimed in, "But if we stay here for one night, we'll still have to go out in the rain and chop a lot of firewood."
Moreover, the entrance to this cave isn't even covered. If there's a night attack, we'll be trapped like fish in a barrel!
"Ugh……"
The two sisters sighed again. Both choices had their pros and cons, making it a difficult decision. What should they do now?
Peach and Reunion were still fast asleep, and the leopard cat lay back down and fell asleep again.
They were left alone, hesitating between two choices.
Lin Chunyi walked a few steps to the cave entrance, stretched her hand out of the cave, and soon filled half a handful with rainwater.
She exclaimed with delight, "Lanshan, look, isn't the rain a little lighter?"
Lin Lanshan also walked to the cave entrance and observed the falling raindrops for a while; they were indeed getting smaller and smaller.
So she excitedly began reciting poetry: "Sister, what's this called? It's called 'Heaven never seals off all paths!' It's called 'After the darkest hour comes the dawn!' It's called 'Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life!' It's called..."
"Alright, stop reciting, shut up, I don't want to hear it." Lin Chunyi made a fist gesture to her younger sister to stop her from reciting the poems.
It should clearly be: As the saying goes, whether it's a cat's bed or a pigsty, nothing beats your own cozy home.
Who wants to sleep in a leopard cat's den all night when they can go home to sleep? Every breath you take is met with the stench of poop and pee everywhere. And you have to lie on the ground, without even a blanket!
The two immediately made the same choice: go home!
Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to act quickly and with style!
They simply placed the sleeping, peaceful family reunion and health into the basket on their backs. So there are advantages to being small; you can just tuck it into your clothes and carry it away.
No need to shout, I woke up and was home. How wonderful!
Peach wasn't so lucky; she was shaken, patted on the head, and pinched on the cheek. Then she woke up, got up, and followed them outside...
They didn't bring much else; all they needed to do was carry baskets and bows and arrows before setting off.
As the two sisters were about to leave, they saw the leopard cat, who had also been woken up, standing at their feet looking somewhat bewildered.
Lin Chunyi squatted down and stroked its head.
Perhaps because they had slept together, the leopard cats had lost their initial wariness of them and were now comfortably accepting the petting from above.
"Little kitty, we're going home now. You don't need to come with us. We burned and used your bed, but we'll come back in a few days to get you a new one. We're leaving now!"
They went over and extinguished the fire completely, leaving not a single spark.
Although it's raining and the fire might not burn for long, it's still best to be on the safe side and not leave any potential hazards!
If the sky suddenly clears and the wind blows, a single spark could ignite dry leaves and potentially set the entire mountain ablaze!
(Please be extremely careful outdoors. Extinguish all fires promptly and completely after use! Starting a fire in a mountain can land you in jail for life!)
The two people and the mule left the cave and headed deeper into the mountains, while the leopard cat followed them to the cave entrance, meowed a few times, and watched them disappear into the rain.
A light drizzle continued to fall from the dim sky. Two men and a mule struggled to make their way through the silent mountain forest…
Lin Lanshan swore that this was the most difficult journey she and her sister had ever taken home!
Although the rain has lessened, the mud on the ground hasn't lessened at all!
From the flat land to the woods, then to the bushes, and then to the grass... everywhere the road was uneven and slippery.
Lin Lanshan held onto the tree, one foot firmly planted on the mud, the other foot pulled out of the mud.
"Sis, these shoes are so cumbersome! I feel like my feet are several pounds heavier!" Lin Lanshan lifted her leg to look at them, and the shoes were no longer recognizable.
She casually broke off a twig and began scraping off the mud. She'd already done this twice in less than 45 minutes!
If she weren't worried about getting pebble or thorn on her feet, she would have preferred to walk barefoot!
"Whoo~"
"Bear with it, as long as I can get home!" Lin Chunyi breathed a sigh of relief, only uttering seven words, but they fully expressed the bitterness under her feet...
The journey from the chestnut tree to their home usually takes only half an hour. But today it took them an hour to even see the valley.
Lin Chunyi's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, "I really, really wanted to cry, we're finally going home!"
Their luck wasn't too bad, except for the muddy road being difficult to traverse. They didn't encounter any wild animals along the way, probably because the animals didn't want to get wet and sick.
Lin Lanshan stretched out her muddy hands, wiped the sweat, rain, and mud from her forehead, and said happily, "We're finally almost there!"
The mud on his face tells a story of hardship and tears. Even horses stumble, and people make mistakes.
As she was climbing a small slope, she slipped and fell face-first to the ground, covered in mud.
Luckily, she turned her face away in time, so only half of it was smeared, otherwise she would have been bitten in the mouth!
Even Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, who were in the basket, were dumped out and rolled into the mud. But the two little ones acted as if nothing had happened, shook their feathers, and then consciously burrowed back in.
Lin Chunyi laughed at her sister for falling flat on her face before trying to help her up. But when she tried to help, she slipped and fell backward, landing on the ground.
The two were lying in the mud, one prone and the other sitting, looking at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry...
They had stumbled and trudged along for so long, as if they had endured eighty-one tribulations. Finally, finally, they reached the valley!
By this time, it was completely dark, and a fine, dense rain sprayed onto the two sisters, washing them thoroughly with mud.
It looked dirty and tattered, as if it had been begging its way there.
"Let's go! Let's go home!"
After walking for another quarter of an hour, they dragged their mud-covered bodies into their home.
The first thing I do when I get home is take a hot shower!
The two sisters quickly wiped the mud off Peach and Reunion, then sent them back to their nest; they were too tired to take care of the little ones today.
They mustered the last of their strength to boil water and then took a hot bath from head to toe. After changing into clean clothes and drying their hair, they collapsed into bed.
Lin Lanshan blew on the hot milk tea in her cup and took a small sip. She looked listless. "Sister, I feel a bit of a headache and a bit hot."
Lin Chunyi touched her forehead, then touched her own, and hesitated, "Do you have a fever? It's about the same as mine, not hot, but I feel a little dizzy too."
"Is it possible that it's not that I'm not hot, but that you have a fever too!" If you both have a fever, of course you'll feel the same way. She suspected her sister might be delirious from the fever.
"..." If they all fall ill, that would be truly tragic.
The two quickly poured themselves a capful of ibuprofen suspension and drank it, then covered themselves with the blankets and fell asleep.
Never mind, I'm too tired. Whatever happens when I wake up tomorrow, I'll just leave it to fate!
