Ancient Eden - Chapter 104
Chapter 104
(33.2)
Seeing that Mu Qing refused to get on his back, Li Mang got up and extended his hand to wipe off the sweat from her forehead. Lowering his eyes, he saw Xiao Hei, who was still lying on his back in her arms with his feet dangling down relaxedly. Frowning slightly, he then pinched the skin on its neck, and lifted it up with one hand.
Mu Qing thought he was going to make it walk on its own. Although Xiao Hei’s wounds were almost healed and already started to turn into scars, but walking on the ground to keep up with them would still be difficult. Just when she was about to carry it back in her arms, she saw that he had already lifted Xiao Hei and placed it on his empty right shoulder.
Xiao Hei, who suddenly left Mu Qing’s embrace, and was now high up from the ground, looked a little scared, his four paws tightly grasped Li Mang’s shoulder, and his dark eyes couldn’t help but look at Mu Qing, wailing incessantly.
Mu Qing was a little distressed for it, she wanted to take Xiao Hei back, but Li Mang reached out and scraped its head. Xiao Hei wailed at first, but then, as if he knew that this male owner was not as gentle as the female owner, and also did not like it, Xiao Hei did not dare to wail again, and just grasped the place where he was resting with force, so as not to fall. Those small eyes looked at Mu Qing as if it was suffering great grievances.
Looking at these two large and small guys who didn’t get along, Mu Qing held back her laughter and reached out to touch Xiao Hei’s head as a sign of comfort.
Li Mang laughed, and then held her hand to go on forward.
The poor Xiao Hei on his shoulder was shaking, but he miraculously never fell down from beginning to the end, and at the end, he even seemed to find it enjoyable, as it was wagging his tail towards Mu Qing who was following behind, wailing “ao wu”.
At dusk, after walking through a canyon, Mu Qing’s eyes suddenly brightened up, she never thought that the canyon would actually hide such a beautiful place that looked like a peach orchard behind it.
On the far ridge of the canyon, a waterfall was meandering down, converging into a wide stream that curved around and murmured past her feet. Across the stream was a large, almost flat valley. At this moment, that valley was covered with all kinds of ground vegetation and wildflowers, wildly spreading everywhere, swaying gently in the wind. The air was filled with a faint smell of earth, but this smell wasn’t unpleasant nor uncomfortable, and on the contrary, one could sense the fertility of the land here. Beyond that place, the jungle continued to grow in the distance, until the view was cut off by the distant mountains.
At this moment, the inclined afterglow of the setting sun was shining over the land, casting a faint golden glow over everything.
Overjoyed from the suprise, Mu Qing hooked her hands around Li Mang’s neck, and her entire body jumped onto his body with a cheer.
Xiao Hei was caught off guard and was so shaken, it fell to the ground. Squatting at her feet with its head hanging down, he started whimpering.
Mu Qing was too happy.
After trekking for seven whole days, Li Mang finally brought her to a halt, stopping at this paradise-like valley with water flowing through it.
Li Mang was also infected by her excitement and picked her up immediately, wading through the waist-deep stream to the opposite bank.
Xiao Hei wanted to follow them, but didn’t dare to go into the water, it was anxiously spinning around on the ground while wailing continuously.
When Mu Qing turned around and looked at it, she laughed and poked at Li Mang’s chest. Li Mang had to put her down, and he carried Xiao Hei over before throwing him on the ground.
As soon as Xiao Hei landed on the ground, it immediately started running in joy and disappeared into the dense vegetation on the ground.
Mu Qing was a little uneasy, and chased after it, calling its name, but Li Mang grabbed her hand and led the way forward.
She couldn’t help but laugh at herself for being too maternal. Xiao Hei was a primitive animal in the jungle, not one of those small pets she used to keep at home once upon a time.
Li Mang carefully surveyed along the foot of the mountain wall as if he was looking for something, and finally he removed a pile of grass and thick vines tangled from high above her head, and a very large cave entrance appeared before her eyes.
