He really regarded Ah Feng as his own daughter, so how could he accept Ping Shun's thanks?
Similarly, he even thanked God countless times for sending Ah Feng to his side!
Otherwise, in the past thirteen years, he must have had a very difficult time, instead of feeling like he really has a home like now.
Ping Shun looked at Uncle Bao, seemed to understand what he was thinking, and asked with a smile, "Where is she now? Can I go and see her?"
Uncle Bao glanced at the closed door, and shook his head very seriously, "No, it's very late at night, she must have slept soundly. If there is anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Ping Shun thought for a while, thinking that he had successfully found Lingxi's real mother, so he was not in a hurry.
He nodded slightly and obeyed Uncle Bao, "I'm afraid I have something to trouble you, can you take me and my pet in tonight?"
As he finished speaking, Leopard came out from the darkness and appeared in front of Uncle Bao.
In order not to cause panic, it hid its figure before, but now it came out slowly after hearing Ping Shun's words.
Uncle Bao raised the lamp to see the leopard clearly, but there was no panic on his face, "Okay, if you don't mind my thatched cottage, you can stay here tonight."
Surprise flashed across Pingshun's eyes, and he instantly understood that Uncle Bao in front of him was definitely someone before, at least he was used to seeing all kinds of emergencies!
But he didn't say it, but nodded silently, and followed Uncle Bao into the simple thatched hut.
There is not much space in the room, and there is an equally simple wooden bed inside, with a thin quilt on it.
Uncle Bao was not overly polite, he just threw a few large bundles of firewood, pointed at Pingshun, "Hey, this is where you guys will sleep tonight."
This is not the first time for Ping Shun to sleep on thatched grass. Although he has lived in a good environment since he was a child, he understands the principle of doing as the Romans do better than anyone else.
"Leopard, we'll sleep here tonight."
After saying this, Ping Shun lay down on the thatch very calmly and closed his eyes.
Leopard walked around the thatch in disgust, found a corner and lay down cross-legged, and then closed his eyes.
Uncle Bao looked at the magnanimous one man and one leopard, sighed silently again in his heart, turned over and continued to sleep.
The island fell into silence again, but Lingxi, who was far away in the palace at this time, couldn't sleep no matter what.
Leaning against the window, she looked at the moon hanging slantingly in the mid-air, and was very worried about Ping Shun's safety.
I don't know if Ping Shun has successfully reached the island mentioned in the daytime, let alone whether he is safe now.
And the firewood-carrying woman he imagined from the fake Chu Fengyi, what kind of identity does she have? Will it really be as she guessed...
Lingxi took a deep breath, not feeling sleepy, and simply lowered his head to find the banknotes, and waved them casually.
All these years, Lan Xin taught her to read and write, as well as simple painting.
However, Lingxi seems to be very talented in painting, no matter what he paints, he can come alive.
Soon, a smooth and lifelike profile appeared in her drawing.
His nose bridge is high and straight, his thin lips are resolute, his eyes are firm and bright, and even the contours of his face are perfect without any blemishes.
How could he not make her worry about him like this?
Lingxi stared at the portrait just painted in front of her, gently put down the brush, and looked up at the moonlight outside again.
The melted silver light shone on the earth, she couldn't help clasping her hands together, praying softly, "God bless, let Pingshun's trip go smoothly this time, and return safely."
The next day, when the bright red sun leaped from the sea level, Ping Shun woke up.
He looked around the room and found that Bao'er and Uncle Bao were not there, they must have gone out.
Stretching greatly, Ping Shun got up from the thatched grass, and walked out of the thatched house shaking his neck.
On the open space outside, there was a dark round iron pot, steam was bubbling inside, and the aroma of food wafted along with it.
Ping Shun walked over to take a closer look, and it turned out that there was delicious fish porridge cooked inside, the soup was so delicate that it made people twitch their index fingers.
I wonder if Uncle Bao cooked this delicious fish porridge?
Just as Ping Shun was thinking, Uncle Bao's voice sounded behind him, "Are you up?"
"Well, this pot of fish porridge is very fragrant. I'm hungry after smelling it." Ping Shun patted his stomach with a smile, and asked casually, "By the way, where is Leopard?"
"I didn't see it when I woke up..."
As Uncle Bao said, his face changed, and a terrible idea popped up in his mind, "It shouldn't have gone to Feng'er's room, right?"
After finishing speaking, Uncle Bao immediately turned around and quickly ran towards the simple earthen house where Ah Feng lived.
He was careless yesterday. Although he is not afraid of leopards, it does not mean that Ah Feng is not afraid!
Ping Shun was also taken aback, and ran after Uncle Bao.
They came to the earthen house in three or two steps, the door was open, and the leopard was inside!
Uncle Bao's face turned pale, and he strode in, yelling worriedly, "Ah Feng! Ah Feng!"
"Well?"
It was Ah Feng's dazed voice that responded to Uncle Bao, as if he had just woken up.
With messy hair, she looked up at Uncle Bao, her eyes full of bewilderment.
"Ahem," Uncle Bao realized that he was thinking too much, and coughed awkwardly, "It's nothing, I just came to see if you slept well."
"Hey, I slept soundly, Ah Feng is hungry."
The somewhat sluggish response made Pingshun sigh inwardly, it seemed that she was really like what Uncle Bao said, she was just like a five or six-year-old child.
"Are you hungry? It's okay. I've already made fish porridge. Ah Feng, do you want to eat it?" Uncle Bao said with a smile, looking at Ah Feng with a very loving gaze.
"Yes! Ah Feng is so hungry, I want fish porridge, go eat fish porridge!"
Ah Feng immediately jumped out of bed, without shoes on, and ran out of the room.
At this moment, she seemed to only have food in her eyes, and she didn't notice Ping Shun and Leopard in the room at all.
Uncle Bao chased after him, "Run slowly, the fish porridge has just been cooked and is still very hot!"
Ping Shun and Leopard were the only ones left in the room. He patted Leopard's head and shook his head helplessly, "You, what are you doing here if you don't sleep in the thatched hut?"
Leopard looked up at him with extremely aggrieved eyes.
"Ha, you've been wronged, and you're still quite angry!" Ping Shun laughed, "Okay, okay, let's go eat some fish porridge too!"
After finishing speaking, Ping Shun was about to lead Leopard out when he saw two people coming from a distance.
Ping Shun can still be unscrupulous at night, but during the day he must hide his body so as not to be discovered.
After all, this island is isolated from the rest of the world, and he hasn't figured out the real situation here, so he can only sail for ten thousand years with care.
Ping Shun patted Leopard, and one person and one Leopard hid behind the door in unison, listening to the movement outside.
