No matter how impatient he was, he could not ask others to come back. Lin Chunnuan just thought that she had to finish his work first, and then she would worry about that person, if not, she could only do it herself. If he could not help, then she would be delayed, if she returned safely, and was just a bit late, and she had not finished harvesting the tea here, that would be even worse.

She got up to find some wild vegetables. Since she did not bring any vegetables from her house in the morning, she thought that there would be a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, when she dug up some with sauce and ate them, she would have lunch, if not it would be too troublesome to carry them over from home.

Lin Chunnuan washed the vegetables with the water in her water bag. The conditions were limited, and she would definitely not wash them cleanly, but there was nothing she could do about it. With such conditions in front of her, Lin Chunnuan did not care about anything else and found a dark place to sit down.

"Warm Spring, you must be anxious. Something really happened, I'm not afraid of you being anxious."

Looking at Dou Wang's perspiring face, Lin Chunnuan knew that he was definitely worried that she would be alone here.

It's fine. I was just worried that you and Little Spot would be in danger. Now that I see that you're all fine, I can finally relax.

Lin Chunnuan carried Little Spot and walked over to where she had the wicker basket.

"Little Spot, have you eaten yet? You got something?"

Lin Chunnuan did not hear Dou Wang's good words and thought that he did not hear her, so he did not mind.

"Hey, I brought dry rations and sauce in the morning. This is my grandma Ding I just dug out has already been washed. You should hurry here to eat. After eating, we can harvest the rest of the tea leaves and head down the mountain earlier."

Lin Chunnuan muttered at the side, but she didn't hear Dou Wang's good words, so she could only turn around and look for someone.

"Ahh!"

A great leopard stood right in front of him, shocking Lin Chunnuan so much that she directly threw Little Spot away, scaring Little Spot so much that she used her claws to hook onto Lin Chunnuan's clothes, and that was why she was not thrown out by Lin Chunnuan.

"Spring warmth, spring warmth, don't be afraid. This is Little Spot's father."

Dou Wang heard Lin Chunnuan's shout and immediately came out from the forest.

"I'm going to put some meat on it. I never thought that the great leopard would scare you. It's my negligence. Spring Warm, you're scared."

Seeing Lin Chunnuan scared to the point that her entire face was pale and she was standing there without any reaction, Dou Wang felt extremely pained. She thought to herself that she was not very considerate, how could she have forgotten that Chun Wen had never seen a great leopard before?

"Spring warmth, spring warmth."

Dou Wang walked in front of Chun Wen, took off Little Spot from her body, and placed it on the great leopard's back. Then, after hesitating for a bit, he hugged Lin Chunnuan.

"Warm Spring, don't be afraid, it's Little Spot's father. I met Little Spot when we were searching for prey, maybe it wasn't. He found it himself."

Dou Wang used his hands to lightly pat Lin Chunnuan's back and comforted her.

"The Great cheetah misses her son and wants to send something for him to eat. Little Spot just ate a rabbit over there, Warm Spring was right, the Great cheetah was able to catch food, he was probably really afraid that when enemies come, he wouldn't be able to protect Little Spot, so he sent Little Spot over to me."

Only then did Dou Wang finally let go of her. However, the warmth in his embrace made him a little reluctant to part with her, as no one had hugged him since the age of five, and he had never hugged anyone else before. Lin Chunnuan was the first person to hug in the past six years.

"Are you all right now, Warm Spring? Better than just now, isn't it? "

Hearing Dou Wang's concern, Lin Chunnuan was moved but also amused. She was really too weak, she actually needed an eleven year old child to comfort her, but this young boy's embrace was really warm.

I'm fine now, Wangzhige. I was just a moment ago, and I wasn't able to react, and I ended up scaring myself, and now I'm completely fine. Don't worry, come and eat first.

Hearing the excuse Lin Chunnuan came up with, Dou Wang's heart ached even more. Truly a strong little girl, always putting herself in a position to refuse to lose, actually, what difference does it make if an eight-year-old girl was taken down by a great leopard? He would definitely not laugh at her.

"I'll go and clean up the meat first before hanging it up. Otherwise, it will break down or it will be eaten by other animals. You go and eat first, I'll be right back. It'll be quick."

After saying that, Dou Wang quickly ran away. Only then did Lin Chunnuan know that Dou Wang was just cleaning up the meat that the great leopard had brought.

"Wangzhige, we'll go together."

Even though Lin Chunnuan knew that the great leopard was the little leopard's father, she was still relatively unfamiliar with it, so her hands and feet were a little stiff. She did not dare move around carelessly, afraid that if she moved a little bit less, the leopard would rush over to take a bite.

"Alright, I'll be right there."

On this side, Dou Wang was doing well. He increased his speed and separated the meat. He strung up pieces of meat with a piece of bark and hung them on a tall tree. Only then did he run back with the basket in his hand.

"My hands are dirty. Come, let me rinse them with water."

After Lin Chunnuan washed her hands clean of Dou Wang's remaining water in the water bag, the two of them were finally able to eat lunch in peace.

As the two ate and chatted, Lin Chunnuan finally understood why Dou Wang came back so late.

"I first brought Little Spot with me to look for prey. After wasting some time, before the prey arrives, I was just about to give up. In the end, a great leopard actually appeared."

I don't know how it caught it, but it gave it to Spotty to eat. It didn't keep it in its mouth all the time, so it probably told me to take it home and give it to Spotty to eat. As a result, on the way back, I passed by the mint and filled up the basket on the way, so it took so long.

"Not only are you getting impatient from waiting, maybe the great leopard was getting impatient from waiting too. That's why it was standing so close to you just now. It's just acting. Otherwise, it wouldn't have done such a childish thing."

To actually call a great leopard childish, Lin Chunnuan was speechless.

It's pretty obedient, other than scaring me just now, it didn't make any other sound and just stayed there obediently. Oh yeah, didn't you say its leg was broken?

Lin Chunnuan lowered her head as she spoke, she swept across the four legs and quickly hit her target. It turned out that one of his legs was injured.

"It's a good time to have mint now. Give it a change, or else it'll be bad for the wound. It's always been wrapped with old medicine."

Hearing Lin Chunnuan's reminder, Dou Wang also remembered that they had mint at their hands. Shouldn't they change the medicine for the great leopard? After the two of them finished eating the last of the spoils, they started to change the medicine for the great leopard.

Dou Wang used his water bag to clean up the great leopard. Of course, he also left some for himself, and with Lin Chunnuan's help, he applied the peppermint paste on the wound and changed a clean piece of cloth to help tie it up. This time, the great leopard felt much better, and couldn't help but spin a few rounds on the ground.

Seeing that the great leopard was alright, Lin Chunnuan picked up her own wicker basket.

"Wangzhige, stay here with the big and small leopards for a while. I'll go pick some tea. It won't be long."

Lin Chunnuan approached the tea tree and quickly began to move.

"Let me help you. Since the great leopard and Little Spot can chat by themselves and I don't understand, let them talk by themselves."

Dou Wang quickly came to Lin Chunnuan's side.

"Are we going to pick this? Are we going to pick this together?"

Dou Wang learned very quickly, and soon he figured out what to do. The both of them picked the baskets together, and their speed more than doubled. This time, it really was filled to the brim.

"I can't hold it anymore. Spring heat, we'll come again next time to harvest. This tea tree can still last another half a month. Don't be anxious."

Dou Wang really knew a lot about the plants and animals on the mountain, so Lin Chunnuan obviously believed in him.

"Alright, then we'll come back in two days. Let's do it like this for today, it's impossible to put on an act no matter how much you want."

Lin Chunnuan sealed her mouth with this basket as well, and then carried one basket while carrying the other. Although it was a little heavy, she felt that she could still carry the other one.

"Give me the one in front of me. You go hug the little leopard and help me with my bow and machete."

This way, Lin Chunnuan could carry them on her back. It was just that she needed to place the machete in front of him, and then use her hand to hold the blade hilt so that she wouldn't hurt herself.

With one hand holding Little Spot and the other holding the machete, Lin Chunnuan followed behind Dou Wang. Dou Wang walked into the forest for a while, and picked a huge meat skewer from a big tree. This was one of the things, the heaviest one was the great leopard who walked over and rubbed its body against Dou Wang.

"Do you have to carry it? "No, your leg is injured, rest in this forest, I can lift it myself."

However, the great leopard did not compromise at all, and continued to rub itself against Dou Wang, causing him to finally place the meat of deer on it. This time, it was really easy, yet Lin Chunnuan extended her hand and touched the great leopard.

"great leopard, you are so cute."
