"Brother, why haven't you come back yet?" Xiaoduo looked into the distance and wondered how many times he had asked.
Xiaoyu was also very worried about her mother. It was already dark and her mother hadn't come back yet. This had never happened before.
"She must be on her way back. Don't worry, sister. You stay at home with your father. I'll hold a torch to find my mother. I must not have brought any flint. My mother can't see the way clearly."
Xiaoyu made arrangements and was about to go back to the house to light the torch, but saw that Chen Zhongqian had already come out with a torch.
"You two go inside. I will go to the mountains to pick up your mother. I will be back soon."
Xiaoyu felt that his father was weak and wanted to go alone, but looking at Chen Zhongqian's eyes that could not tolerate objection, he felt his father's majesty for the first time.
Although I was worried, I still took my sister back to the house. If I made a fuss, it would cause trouble for my father. I had to be sensible at this time.
Chen Zhongqian closed the door of the house and the courtyard door, and walked toward the mountainside with a torch, feeling very anxious.
Lin Yuxi has been to the mountains many times, but this does not change the fact that the mountains are very dangerous. She never returns home after dark. Did she encounter any danger in the mountains?
These days, he has been eating the medicinal food that Lin Yuxi stewed for him and insisting on exercising, and he is gradually gaining strength. Otherwise, he would be out of breath from exhaustion before he even reaches the edge of the mountain.
As soon as he reached the edge of the mountain forest, Chen Zhongqian heard the howl of a wild beast. He immediately became alert, took the torch in front of him, and continued walking on the road into the mountain.
The female leopard had discovered Chen Zhongqian a long time ago. She had never seen him before and was very wary. She howled and ran back to find Lin Xixi.
Lin Xixi was also afraid that the villagers would discover them. If anyone in the village knew that the black panther was injured, someone would definitely want to take it home and sell it for money, which would be troublesome.
One of them was in the woods, the other was outside the woods, neither of them dared to speak at the moment.
Chen Zhongqian couldn't help coughing, and Lin Yuxi immediately came to his senses, "Zhongqian, is that you?"
"It's me." Chen Zhongqian was very surprised and immediately walked into the woods. He bumped into a female leopard head-on and was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Lin Yuxi was carrying the male leopard on her back. The road was too far and he couldn't walk halfway. She had to carry him on her back. She had to take a breath after walking for a while, which wasted a lot of time.
"You are not allowed to make any noise, or someone will kill you and sell you for money. If you want to live, just obey me and don't make any noise." She still thought that these leopards couldn't understand her, but she was used to telling them, if they could.
Do you understand?
Of course Chen Zhongqian is afraid. Who is a serious person who is not afraid of a leopard?
But when she saw Lin Yuxi carrying one of them on her back, she subconsciously became less afraid. She brought it back, so there must be a reason for her.
Chen Zhongqian definitely couldn't carry the leopard, so he could only lead the way. He was afraid of attracting attention and put out the torches.
The two of them walked for a long time before returning home. Fortunately, they lived far away, otherwise they would be easily discovered. They lived here as one family, which made it much more convenient to do everything.
The two children at home heard something moving outside and hurriedly ran out to see. They had never seen a leopard. The children didn't know much about it, so they weren't too scared.
Lin Yuxi carried the male leopard into the house and immediately said, "It is injured and needs to recover at home. You are not allowed to tell anything about what happened to them at home. No one can know except for the parents. Do you understand?"
Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo nodded. Xiaoyu looked around the two big leopards and asked, "Are they tigers?"
Lin Yuxi wiped her sweat and said, "Leopards are similar to tigers. They run very fast and are also forest beasts."
Xiaoyu came over to take a look, then stepped back, still very scared. Xiaoduo was attracted by the little black panther. It was about the same size as an adult black cat. It was so cute. Girls had no interest in such cute creatures.
No resistance.
Lin Hexi was tired, hungry, and very thirsty. He drank two large bowls of water before he felt relieved.
Seeing Chen Zhongqian staring at him, Lin Yuxi put the bowl down and asked, "What do you think? Do you still want to drive them out?"
Chen Zhongqian shook his head, "I just said you didn't hit the rabbit."
Lin Hexi:……
It turns out that you've been thinking about this for a long time, okay, I'll show my hand, I picked it up.
"They must be considered destined to me. Now that the male leopard is injured, it will be dangerous if he stays in the forest. I have taken the initiative to bring them back. After recovering from the injury, I will let them return to the forest. You won't
Blame me?"
Lin Joy still remembered that someone was so scared in the mountains that his legs were so weak that he almost sat on the ground.
Chen Zhongqian knew what she was thinking when he saw her like that. He was a little embarrassed, so he looked away and said, "This is your home too. You can make the decision. I just don't know if I can control them. It would be bad if they hurt someone."
Lin Yuxi also knew that this was a big problem. He knelt down and taught them a lesson with sincerity, "People, some are very dangerous and some are very kind. No matter what kind of people they are, you should not come into contact with them. You should treat them well here."
Keep it there, don’t let anyone discover it, do you understand?”
The little leopard is rolling around and having fun.
Female leopard licks her fur.
The male leopard's wound was probably too painful and his face was expressionless.
Lin Yuxi clapped her hands, "Okay, they all know."
Chen Zhongqian:...Are you sure they understand?
She didn't come back so late, so Chen Zhongqian had to show off his cooking skills that would be insulting to use the word "normal" to describe it. He cooked a pot of rice and fried two vegetarian dishes, which were already cold by now.
Thorough.
Lin Xixi rolled up her sleeves and cooked. After the food was hot, she got some kimchi from the kimchi jar, cut it, and mixed it with chili oil. It was so fragrant.
Since they moved in, the family has never had such a simple meal. Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo are still very well-behaved. They will eat the food well or not, but they will eat more happily if it is cooked what they like.
The two children were usually already asleep at this time, but today they were worried about Lin Yuxi, so they stayed up until they had eaten and drank enough. Before Lin Yuxi had time to wash them, the two children were already asleep on the bed.
Lin Joy gave them a simple scrub. She was very tired today, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
When they woke up the next day, they didn't see the female leopard in the house. Lin Xixi and Chen Zhongqian were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweats.
Just as I was about to go out to look for it, the female leopard jumped into the house from the back window, holding a hare and pheasant in her mouth. She had gone hunting early in the morning, and the family of three still had to eat.
Chen Zhongqian looked at the soft gazes of the two leopards and felt relieved, "They seem to be very humane. They should understand what you mean. Just be careful, no one can come to the house during this period."
Lin Joy nodded, "If I go out, you should pay more attention. There are also Xiaoyu and Xiaoduo. Children can't hide their words, so I have to tell them more often."
