Chapter 107: Unexplained Fear

rived, Li Lao Tai was overjoyed and invited him into the house."You must be tired from running all the way here! Drink some water first. Doctor Zhang is in the village. I'll take you to see him in a b...When the sky wasn't yet fully bright, the young masters sleeping outside had all woken up. It was simply too cold.

Someone mumbled, "Has it frosted It's too cold! I dreamed of falling into an ice hole and freezing to death."

"Yeah, we need to figure out a way to camp again. We can't just sleep out in the open like this."

"The sun will be out in a little while."

The watchman couldn't hold on any longer, seeing that everyone else was waking up, he quickly lay down by the fire to catch a few winks.

Inside Li's tent, Jia Yin hadn't heard any movement outside, but she suddenly woke up.

It was cold, but it was a bone-chilling kind of cold.

Although she lay on a thick mattress, covered in blankets, a coldness emanated from her heart outward.

She got up, dazed, and quickly went to touch her grandmother's forehead.

Fortunately, the old woman didn't have a fever.

The old woman was bumped by her granddaughter and opened her eyes, struggling to sit up.

Her face was pale and somewhat weak.

But she still picked up her granddaughter and chuckled, "Little Blessing worried about Grandma Don't worry, Grandma is fine. Everything is alright."

Jia Yin's nose felt sour, she hugged her grandma's neck, "Grandma, good morning."

“Alright, alright, Grandma will get better soon. Grandma still has to send Funiu out to marry, don’t be afraid, Funiu!”

Zhaoyur and Taohongying heard the commotion and woke up.

"Mother, how are you feeling Are you better now Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable"

Both daughters-in-law were filial, making Old Lady Li even happier.

"It's just still a bit empty, everything else is good."

"There was still a lot of meat soup left from last night, so I made a bowl of noodles for my mother. After eating, she felt much better and recovered quicker." Tao Hongying was happy and immediately arranged breakfast for her mother-in-law.

Old Li was a strong-willed woman, never shortchanging anyone. She added another instruction.

"Alright, make an extra bowl for Dr. Zhang. He probably went through a lot last night."

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru quickly agreed and got up to get busy.

At this moment, the sky was already getting very bright, and most of the people in the camp had woken up.

Only the half-sized children were still asleep, and the little ones were dreaming with their fingers in their mouths.

Only Jia Yin leaned against her grandmother, keeping her company and talking to her so she wouldn't feel lonely.

"Grandma, again, eat again!"

Grandma Li, with a twinkle in her eye, said, "Are you saying that Grandma didn't get any pork Don't worry, your father is a hunter. Grandma will be able to eat some later."

Jia Yin turned her head to look outside. With a small, chubby hand, she held an orange candy and quietly slipped it into Grandma's mouth.

The scent and sweetness of the orange immediately lifted the old woman's spirits.

Such good things, she was reluctant to eat them.

But the granddaughter covered her mouth, afraid she might spit it out. It was both amusing and heartbreaking to watch. In the end, she could only enjoy the sweetness all by herself.

Don't say, sugar really is a good thing. Soon, the burning fire in my stomach felt much better, and I wasn't so weak and powerless anymore.

Upon seeing Jiayin, he felt even more remorse. Before crossing over, why hadn't he bought a few more catties at the market

This kind of mixed candy we often ate as children doesn't have candy wrappers, but it's very sweet.

When she bought the cake, she also bought two kilograms...

At this moment, Jia Xi and Jia An also woke up. They crawled to the shelf using their hands and feet to look at grandma.

The two little guys also had a good nose, the first thing they said was, “So sweet.”

"Yes, it's sweet!"

Jia Yin quickly stuffed a candy ball into each of their hands, her heart skipping a beat.

The two boys' eyes widened in surprise, but they clamped their mouths shut, too afraid to speak for fear the sweetness would escape.

Li Lao smiled so hard she couldn't contain it, giving a light hush to signal her grandsons to keep it a secret.

Jia Xi Jia An nodded vigorously, leaning close to grandma, her little face strained, but her tongue inside was frantically licking at the candy ball.

Oh, so sweet! There's such delicious candy in the world!

Jia Yin was tickled by her brother's teasing and giggled, but she still felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but shiver again.

Lao Li and Jiaxi's family immediately pulled the quilt over her, wrapping her up like a ball...

Soon, Li Laosì invited Zhang Shenyi to feel the pulse of the old woman.

Zhang Shini glanced at Jia Yin with his left eye and then his right, seeing her curled up under the covers, only a white and plump face showing, blinking big eyes.

How chubby and joyful this little girl is.

He was increasingly convinced he'd gotten it wrong, that seeking out this hidden master had driven him to obsession.

"Forget about it, it's completely over. Just rest for a few days, remember to eat well and get plenty of sleep." Dr. Zhang had felt his pulse and spoke.

The Li family, young and old, all gathered at the entrance of their hut and let out a sigh of relief, breaking into smiles.

Tao Hongying hurriedly brought over two bowls of meat soup noodles and invited Zhang Shini.

"Doctor, I also made a bowl of noodles for you. Stay and eat with me."

Zhang Shenyi nodded. Tao Hongying's cooking skills were good, even if most of the food on the road was sorghum rice and wild vegetable porridge, it tasted pretty good. Not to mention this was noodle soup made with meat broth, just smelling the aroma, his stomach started rumbling.

Old Mrs. Li couldn't bear to eat it herself, so she hugged her granddaughter and shared it bite by bite with her. Soon, they finished even the noodle soup.

Jia Yin didn't hesitate, knowing if she didn't eat, Grandma would definitely be uneasy. There were plenty of opportunities on the way, she had to continue secretly feeding Grandma...

In the camp, everyone was eating, slurping and smacking their lips, equally sweet.

One big, two small, three wild boars. It's not a small number by any means.

But with nearly a hundred people, young and old, and having gone for several days without a morsel of food, they truly ate with all their might. They barely managed to fill themselves after one meal.

Fortunately, I fried most of a cauldron of pork fat last night. I can add it to stews and congee in the future.

The village head finished his meal, carrying a piece of fatty and lean pork belly to Li's hut.

"Hongying, your mother didn't get to eat any pork last night. I specially saved a piece for her. You take a look and fix it up. Make her something to eat on the way and give her some energy back."

"Okay, thank you, mister."

Tao Hongying hurriedly took it, carrying it to put in the salt jar at home and marinate it.

This is not easily spoiled and you can just cut a few pieces when eating it.

Li Lao Si looked at the sky and asked the village head elder, "Have Zhao Shu and the others come back"

Uncle Zhao woke up feeling off and took the villagers for a walk nearby.

Before the village chief could even reply, Uncle Zhao had already hobbled over, his face etched with worry.

"Something's not right around here, it feels uneasy. We should get out of here quickly."

"What's wrong" Everyone tensed up, turning their heads to look at the nearby woods. It seemed quite peaceful and nothing out of the ordinary.

Uncle Zhao shook his head. “I can’t say what’s wrong, and I don’t see any clues. But it just feels off, let’s leave early.”

None of them questioned further and quickly packed their things, preparing to set off on their journey.

Both sides are going anyway, it doesn't matter this little while.

Uncle Zhao was going around, shouting at everyone to pack light. Today, they needed to cover a lot of ground.

This time, Lao Si Li led the way with his family member Yi, bringing up the rear. Liu Biaotou took the lead with his men.

The team needs to be tighter, not too stretched out.

Everyone listened, and they all became a little nervous. Even the children didn't dare to make noise anymore.

That's wonderful news! Be sure to have Daddy carry you.

This way, she would stay at the back of the team.

Soon, everyone set off. Uncle Zhao sat in the sled and kept urging everyone loudly, "Hurry up, move faster! Watch your feet, don't sprain them, and don't delay our journey."

Jia Yin tightly hugged her father's shoulders, often turning her head to look back.

Although she couldn't see anything, the quiet mountains made her inexplicably afraid. Her heart was pounding in her chest. back this one, and your trip won't be in vain."Lao Hei and the rest of the men were happy, they had overcompleted their master's task.Lao Hei quickly led Jia Yin to look at the rest of the vehicles....
