Chapter 93

~End of chapter 92

Mu Qing couldn’t resist letting out a whimper of pain when she stood up.

Yesterday had been so tense that she didn’t feel it. She was only noticing now, after the night’s rest and mental relaxation, that her feet were actually bruised all over and were so painful that she simply didn’t dare to step on the ground.

Li Mang supported her and squatted down to check her feet.

Her originally delicate pair of feet were now in a tragic miserable state, with scratching marks everywhere, and extremely swollen soles.

He didn’t let her take another step, and kept carrying her on his back as he walked in the direction he came from.

At dusk, they found a place to settle down by a stream they came across. While Mu Qing was very happily taking a bath, scrubbing her clothes to clean them and spreading them out on a pile of rocks to dry, Li Mang was already roasting the fish he had caught in the water, with a sharpened stick, on the fire he had just set up.

Smelling the charred smell of the fish, Mu Qing realized that she was now extremely hungry, and that she had already long since digested the wild fruits she had eaten during the day.

They returned to the settlement at dusk the next day.

They could have returned earlier, but both seemed a little reluctant to return and put on end to this trip where they could leave everything behind for the time being, so neither of them rushed on the road, which delayed the time a little.

Everything looked the same as before, yet it also looked as if something was different.

Aside from Naduo and Youyou’s smiling faces still being as genuine as ever, everyone else here was looking at him and Li Mang with different eyes. Especially at her.

She felt that the friendly relationship she had managed to build up with them some time ago had all of a sudden regressed back to what it had been when she first arrived, if not worse. The women were once again scolding their children and not allowing them to find her to play. She was no longer needed for the counting of the fruits when they were being collected either and they preferred to wait in line while complaining.

She felt a little desolate. More than anything, she looked forward to the night. At night, Li Mang would be by her side and would hold her as she slept, which made her feel much more at ease.

In just a few short days, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the communication between her and Li Mang had become much smoother. Not only was she already able to express most of what she meant to say in very simple phrases, but even the words he was saying, even if she could only catch a few of the syllables, she could still understand about eighty to ninety percent of them.

She felt that their hearts had become much closer all of a sudden.
