C30 (1/2)

No matter how impatient he was, he could not ask others to come back. Lin Chunnuan just thought that she had to finish his work first, and then she would worry about that person, if not, she could only do it herself. If he could not help, then she would be delayed, if she returned safely, and was just a bit late, and she had not finished harvesting the tea here, that would be even worse.

She got up to find some wild vegetables. Since she did not bring any vegetables from her house in the morning, she thought that there would be a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, when she dug up some with sauce and ate them, she would have lunch, if not it would be too troublesome to carry them over from home.

Lin Chunnuan washed the vegetables with the water in her water bag. The conditions were limited, and she would definitely not wash them cleanly, but there was nothing she could do about it. With such conditions in front of her, Lin Chunnuan did not care about anything else and found a dark place to sit down.

”Warm Spring, you must be anxious. Something really happened, I'm not afraid of you being anxious.”

Looking at Dou Wang's perspiring face, Lin Chunnuan knew that he was definitely worried that she would be alone here.

It's fine. I was just worried that you and Little Spot would be in danger. Now that I see that you're all fine, I can finally relax.

Lin Chunnuan carried Little Spot and walked over to where she had the wicker basket.

”Little Spot, have you eaten yet? You got something?”

Lin Chunnuan did not hear Dou Wang's good words and thought that he did not hear her, so he did not mind.

”Hey, I brought dry rations and sauce in the morning. This is my grandma Ding I just dug out has already been washed. You should hurry here to eat. After eating, we can harvest the rest of the tea leaves and head down the mountain earlier.”

Lin Chunnuan muttered at the side, but she didn't hear Dou Wang's good words, so she could only turn around and look for someone.

”Ahh!”

A great leopard stood right in front of him, shocking Lin Chunnuan so much that she directly threw Little Spot away, scaring Little Spot so much that she used her claws to hook onto Lin Chunnuan's clothes, and that was why she was not thrown out by Lin Chunnuan.

”Spring warmth, spring warmth, don't be afraid. This is Little Spot's father.”

Dou Wang heard Lin Chunnuan's shout and immediately came out from the forest.

”I'm going to put some meat on it. I never thought that the great leopard would scare you. It's my negligence. Spring Warm, you're scared.”

Seeing Lin Chunnuan scared to the point that her entire face was pale and she was standing there without any reaction, Dou Wang felt extremely pained. She thought to herself that she was not very considerate, how could she have forgotten that Chun Wen had never seen a great leopard before?

”Spring warmth, spring warmth.”

Dou Wang walked in front of Chun Wen, took off Little Spot from her body, and placed it on the great leopard's back. Then, after hesitating for a bit, he hugged Lin Chunnuan.

”Warm Spring, don't be afraid, it's Little Spot's father. I met Little Spot when we were searching for prey, maybe it wasn't. He found it himself.”

Dou Wang used his hands to lightly pat Lin Chunnuan's back and comforted her.

”The Great cheetah misses her son and wants to send something for him to eat. Little Spot just ate a rabbit over there, Warm Spring was right, the Great cheetah was able to catch food, he was probably really afraid that when enemies come, he wouldn't be able to protect Little Spot, so he sent Little Spot over to me.”

Only then did Dou Wang finally let go of her. However, the warmth in his embrace made him a little reluctant to part with her, as no one had hugged him since the age of five, and he had never hugged anyone else before. Lin Chunnuan was the first person to hug in the past six years.

”Are you all right now, Warm Spring? Better than just now, isn't it? ”

Hearing Dou Wang's concern, Lin Chunnuan was moved but also amused. She was really too weak, she actually needed an eleven year old child to comfort her, but this young boy's embrace was really warm.

I'm fine now, Wangzhige. I was just a moment ago, and I wasn't able to react, and I ended up scaring myself, and now I'm completely fine. Don't worry, come and eat first.

Hearing the excuse Lin Chunnuan came up with, Dou Wang's heart ached even more. Truly a strong little girl, always putting herself in a position to refuse to lose, actually, what difference does it make if an eight-year-old girl was taken down by a great leopard? He would definitely not laugh at her.

”I'll go and clean up the meat first before hanging it up. Otherwise, it will break down or it will be eaten by other animals. You go and eat first, I'll be right back. It'll be quick.”

After saying that, Dou Wang quickly ran away. Only then did Lin Chunnuan know that Dou Wang was just cleaning up the meat that the great leopard had brought.

”Wangzhige, we'll go together.”

Even though Lin Chunnuan knew that the great leopard was the little leopard's father, she was still relatively unfamiliar with it, so her hands and feet were a little stiff. She did not dare move around carelessly, afraid that if she moved a little bit less, the leopard would rush over to take a bite.
