Chapter 1774: Chapter 1774: The Formidableness of This Child
Jian Yufei suppressed her nausea and took the rabbit: "Is there water? Water."
Junqi got up and left, with Jian Yufei following behind him.
After walking for a while, they found a very small stream.
With water available, Jian Yufei cleaned the rabbit, then gathered some firewood and started a campfire by the stream.
Luckily, there were matches in the backpack. Those people hadn’t completely left them to fend for themselves.
No, if it was just Junqi crossing the forest, they wouldn’t have prepared these things for them.
These things were prepared for her.
Whenever she thought of Junqi eating raw meat while crossing the forest alone, Jian Yufei’s heart ached sharply.
It was unclear if the smoke got into her eyes, but big tears started rolling down from her eyes.
She wiped away the tears with her hand and continued turning the rabbit in her hands.
Junqi sat beside her, tilting his head and looking at her, confused.
Jian Yufei glanced at him, forcing a wry smile: "Just wait a little longer, it’ll be ready to eat soon."
Another tear rolled down—
Junqi reached out and caught it.
( ⊙o⊙?)
His expression seemed to ask: What is this?
Jian Yufei’s heart ached terribly, she gently raised her hand, wanting to caress him, but didn’t dare to get close, fearing he would recoil.
The only thing she could do now was to make him develop trust and affection towards her, to let him know she was his mother.
Jian Yufei soon finished roasting the rabbit meat, tearing off a rabbit leg and giving the rest to Junqi.
The little guy was delighted to have food.
He gripped the ends of the wooden stick and chomped down on the rabbit meat, only to be scalded, causing him to hop on the spot in pain.
Jian Yufei laughed: "You need to blow on it and wait for it to cool before eating. Like this."
She blew on the rabbit leg in her hand, demonstrating for him.
Junqi mimicked her, blowing hard, and found it really wasn’t that hot when he ate it.
Cooked meat was much tastier than raw meat, Junqi ate contentedly, finishing the entire rabbit.
Jian Yufei ate a rabbit leg and was barely satisfied.
After eating, they drank water, washed their hands, and continued on.
Although Junqi didn’t understand everything, he knew he had to cross the forest.
He had undergone this kind of training many times; he knew what he was supposed to do.
Jian Yufei followed him all the way. Even though he was just a child, his pace was quite fast; she had to almost walk and run alternately to keep up with him.
Along the way, they also encountered snakes. At first, Jian Yufei was startled, but fortunately, if you don’t provoke them, they won’t attack you.
Sometimes when venomous snakes tried to attack them, Junqi would cut them down with a single stroke.
He killed these creatures without batting an eye.
Besides the snakes, they also encountered a wolf on the road.
Jian Yufei was scared to death, but she still shielded Junqi behind her.
When the wolf pounced, Junqi, standing motionless, dispatched it with one swift strike.
In just one day, Jian Yufei had witnessed this child’s prowess.
When he was still, he could be like a stone, a tree, so quiet you wouldn’t feel his presence.
But when he moved, it would be the end of the enemy.
If not for the high-intensity training every day, how could he have reached such a realm?
Jian Yufei’s mood was heavy.
She walked in a daze, and after covering some distance, she realized Junqi had been dragging that wolf with him all along.
Wolves are pack animals; killing one could provoke retaliation from others of its kind.
"Junqi, drop it, don’t carry it with you."
