~End of chapter 52

After arriving here, Mu Qing noticed that Naduo and the girls were drinking water directly from the upper reaches of this stream. Although the water looked crystal clear, she was used to boiling water before drinking it. She tried to make Youyou and the others drink the boiled water like her, but it was not very effective so after trying to make them drink a few times, she gave up.

Now she felt very thirsty, as if she did not drink water right now, she would really be like a fish in dry water, with the sun overhead, like she would die from the thirst and the dryness.

She leaned down on the side of the stream, put her face close to the murmuring flow of water, and gulped large mouthfuls of water, until her stomach was so full she could no longer bear it, she then buried her head completely into the water, and stopped moving.

Chapter 53

(17.4)

Mu Qing’s ear drums were plunged in quietness, only the muffled sound of the turbulent flow of water was left. She felt a cool sensation, and her brain immediately also cleared up a lot.

Her lungs were suffocating and about to explode when she lifted her head out of the water and inclined her head towards the sky, letting out a long breath.

Just a few days ago there was a fight between two men, and later, the chief had to come out to quell the fight. But the way the two men, between the laughter of the crowd, looked at each other’s eyes, it was a look of them being totally unable to coexist under the same sky. They had the complete desire to have offspring of their own blood, which was perhaps a desire innate in male animals, once the conditions were reunited, this desire would be expressed in the form of exclusivity.

Before today, Mu Qing may not have been so interested in the lost underwear, or rather, she was not very interested in Li Mang’s opinion. But now it was not the same. She knew her situation now. From now on, if she wanted to live well, she would have to rely on Li Mang. As far as she could see, he was the only man that she could hold on to. It was a little sad, but she had to face reality. She didn’t want Li Mang to get the wrong idea about her because of this man that was obviously just trying to tease and play with her, especially since she couldn’t even speak and explain the situation.

Mu Qing did not look at what he was holding, but just stared at Yi Jia, as a smile slowly appearing on her face.

Yi Jia thought that she would come up to him to grab her thing immediately after seeing him with it, and he was prepared to tease her as if she was a prey.

But her reaction now made him a little stunned.
