It was a dark night, with only a faint moonlight, so I couldn't see the road clearly. Fortunately, with the king, I could see nothing at night.
Lingbao grabbed its tail and followed it, stumbling along. From time to time, he would say: "Your Majesty, please slow down, I'm afraid."
The dirt roads going to the countryside were full of potholes, and you might stumble somewhere. Lingbao felt very insecure.
King: "I understand."
It's really annoying. If it grows a little bigger, it can carry the baby on its back. Meow.
They didn't go far, and as soon as they left the village, they entered space again.
"Let's rest first and start our journey again early tomorrow morning."
Lingbao yawned loudly. He had been crying and running away today. He was already tired. He lay down on the grass and fell asleep after a while.
At dawn the next day, Ling Bao got up, rubbed his eyes and continued on his way.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Ling Bao thought distressedly, "I don't know where we are going."
She has never even been to the county seat.
The king mentioned a place: "We can go here. I have been there. It is very prosperous and there are many delicious food, but it is too far away."
Lingbao didn't dare to go too far, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "It's better not to do that. Otherwise, let's go to the mountains, and I can be a little savage." She said seriously.
From now on, I can secretly take a look at my brother, just one look.
The king has no answer for anything.
One man and one cat headed towards the mountains.
After entering the mountain, Lingbao saw mushrooms under the tree with sharp eyes. She quickly picked them and said happily: "We are very lucky, there are mushrooms to eat!"
The king also grinned happily and looked for mushrooms with great enthusiasm.
There are more than a dozen mushrooms piled in the space, as well as rare wild vegetables in winter.
The tip of Lingbao's nose was red from the cold, her mouth was dry and she wanted to drink water, but there was no water source here, so she grabbed a handful of snow and ate it.
So cold!
"Gululu~"
Feeling hungry, Lingbao touched his flat belly and said naturally: "Your Majesty, let's make mushroom soup."
The king was sharpening his claws. When he heard this, he immediately stopped playing and ran over: "Okay, I'm starving to death."
Big eyes and small eyes.
The king asked: "Why don't you cook it yet, meow?"
Ling Bao said "Ouch" and hit his thigh: "We don't have a pot, we can't make mushroom soup!"
"What?! Then aren't we going to be hungry all the time?" The king reacted very loudly, feeling like the sky was falling. Then he thought, "That's not right, I can eat raw."
Lingbao said pitifully: "But I can't eat raw food."
"Then what should we do?" The big king cat's whiskers drooped, "How about we go back."
Lingbao shook her head firmly. She didn't want her eldest brother to be beaten again, so she wouldn't go back.
"Let me go to sleep. I won't be hungry when I sleep." Lingbao thought optimistically.
Little did he know that Cheng Yun was already in chaos because of her disappearance.
Early this morning, Cheng Yun woke up and went to wake her up.
After calling several times and getting no reply, I pushed the door open and went in. What I saw was an empty room with a simple wooden bed and neatly folded quilts.
"Where are the people?" Cheng Yun shouted several times in the yard, "Lingbao? Lingbao—big brother will be angry if he doesn't come out."
There was no response at all.
Cheng Yun began to feel that something was wrong, and bad suspicions came to mind.
He asked Erlang and his father, and they both said they had never seen Ling Bao.
"Brother, why are you so anxious? Maybe she has gone home."
impossible.
Ling Bao was afraid of that place and had a fight with her sisters and brothers yesterday. Besides, she liked to cling to herself so much, how could she run back without saying a word.
Cheng Yun suddenly remembered that Lingbao asked him yesterday if he thought she was troublesome. Did she really leave because she was afraid of causing trouble to him?
So where can she go?
Even though he knew that the possibility was slim, Cheng Yun still went to Han Dahu's house to take a look. He would rather Ling Bao went back.
But no, she's not here.
Cheng Yun's head was in a mess, he grabbed Cheng Yi and ran out.
"Erlang, eldest brother has never asked you for anything. Now eldest brother, I beg you to go all out to find Ling Bao. She is still so young and cannot survive by herself. Just because she calls you 'Second Brother',
Okay?"
Cheng Yi nodded unconsciously, feeling very complicated.
That annoying little girl is really gone...
Cheng Yun pulled out an extremely ugly smile.
They searched for a long time. From the dawn to the rising sun, the little figure that would jump and run towards him never appeared.
Cheng Yun was stunned on the spot.
"Lingbao..."
He has already lost a sister, is he going to lose another one?
"Brother, what should I do?" Cheng Yi asked.
Cheng Yun did not answer her, but walked forward and unknowingly came to the mountain where they met.
"Brother, don't abandon Lingbao. Lingbao doesn't want to be alone."
In a daze, he seemed to hear Ling Bao's voice again, the words she had been saying since the first time they met.
She was so afraid of being left behind, why did she just leave on her own?
It was all his fault. He should have been more sensitive and realized that she was wrong earlier to avoid this result.
Cheng Yun regretted it very much.
"Brother, look what this is!" Cheng Yi suddenly exclaimed, showing a sense of uncontrollable excitement.
Cheng Yun looked over with interest and found that Cheng Yi was squatting on the ground. No one had cleaned up the snow on the mountain. There was no new snow today, so a series of footprints in the snow were clearly left.
The footprints were obviously those of a child, very light, shallow, and slightly messy.
It would be fine if that was all, but there are cat paw prints next to it!
Some people in the capital like to keep cats as pets, but the villagers in Beihe Village can barely feed themselves, so where can they find the spare money to raise cats?
So it is self-evident whose footprints belong to them.
Cheng Yun was overjoyed, this was another village with a bright future!
"Hurry up, Lingbao is young, so he won't be able to go far!"
Lingbao, who couldn't walk far, really didn't go far, she was hungry!
When he woke up, Lingbao was even hungrier, stroking his growling belly and drooling over the mushrooms.
The king swallowed two mushrooms in one bite, and they tasted delicious.
Lingbao moved over slowly like a little penguin and begged: "Give me a bite."
King: "No, humans cannot eat raw mushrooms, they will get sick!"
Lingbao pouted in disappointment, and while watching it eat, he grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it, pretending that he was also eating mushrooms.
Even if you are shaking from the cold, you still have to eat.
"Your Majesty, I'm even hungrier, what should I do?" Ling Bao felt like he was going to faint from hunger.
Since she found her big brother, she hasn't been hungry for a long time, and she feels like she can't hold on even without eating.
The king sighed, he would have brought some food at home and put it in the space.
Lingbao took the king into his arms, touched its bulging belly, and bit its ears with a "ouch" sound. Oh, it's all hairy!
"Lingbao? Lingbao!"
Ling Bao sighed maturely: "Your Majesty, I'm so hungry that I'm hallucinating."
The king raised his head and said, "But I heard it too."
It is very full. Could it be that it is a poisonous mushroom?!
"Ling Bao!"
The sound is close at hand.
Ling Bao looked up stupidly, saw Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi not far away, and said in surprise: "Big brother! Second brother!"
The king cat's paw touched his chest, it was okay, it was not an illusion.
"Lingbao, stay there and don't move. Big brother will come right away!" Cheng Yun was ecstatic and finally found it!
Lingbao suddenly remembered that he was "running away from home", turned around and ran away: "Brother, don't come over, Lingbao doesn't want you to be beaten, Lingbao is going to be a little savage!"
Cheng Yun was so angry that he laughed and shouted: "Cheng Youling, stop!"
Lingbao stopped subconsciously, and her elder brother called her Cheng Youling.
