Chapter 295: Rendezvous In The Pine Forest
Lu Qiaoge felt relieved, as long as her younger sister saw things clearly.
Lu Qiaoling continued to explain: “Second Sister, I didn’t tell the family because I felt that even if I said something, it wouldn’t do anything to him. Anyway, I already cursed him back. I originally wanted to tell you, Second Sister, but you are so busy with so many things, there’s no need to worry about such a small matter. Who would have thought that the shameless guy would even set his sights on Qingqing.”
Lu Qiaoge smiled: “As long as you know what’s in your heart, Qiaoling, fate is a wonderful and indescribable thing. It might come at any time without notice. Right now, you just focus on your job and studies, okay?”
Lu Qiaoling nodded vigorously: “I know, I know. I listen to Second Sister.”
Lu Qiaoge ruffled her younger sister’s hair and said: “Good, you just need to ask for leave from Meng Qingshan.”
She also needed to pack up a bit before setting off.
She had put several tools in the space in advance.
There were sharp axes, saws for sawing wood, nails, hammers, and so on, all placed in a wooden box.
The space now was beautiful, but her gold and silver jewelry was placed out in the open, not suitable for viewing.
This trip to Yuanbao Mountain was to see off Tao Tao and its family, and also to bring back some wood and stones along the way.
Old Mrs. Lu looked at the empty swallow’s nest, squinting her eyes and said: “Our family’s swallows have left. To see them again, we’ll have to wait until next year.”
Meng Xia also glanced at the swallow’s nest, then withdrew her gaze without much reaction.
She wasn’t in the mood to think about so much. What swallows or sparrows, there were already so many things at home and outside.
Meanwhile, Lu Qiaoge took Hua Hua and rode her bicycle out of the city.
She first rode along the road for about twenty minutes, then arrived at a pine forest. This was the place agreed upon with Little Yellow, Old Black Cat, Grey Pigeon, the three sparrows, Rat Big, and the others.
Except for Big Pike and Old Turtle who couldn’t come ashore, all the ones that could fly or run had come.
They were all waiting for Lu Qiaoge in the pine forest now.
Lu Qiaoge felt a very subtle feeling in her heart.
This feeling only she herself could understand.
Lu Qiaoge looked around, and Xiao Cangcang also told her: 【There are no humans within three hundred meters nearby.】
Lu Qiaoge put the bicycle into the space right in front of the little animals.
All the little animals let out a surprised “wow” in unison.
Different eyes showed the same expression.
Even Hua Hua let out a “wow” along with them.
Lu Qiaoge smiled brightly. Being with the little ones was the most relaxing and pleasant.
Her space was stocked with a small iron pot, instant noodles, noodles, eggs, canned meat, tableware, and other sundries.
After getting the space, she hoarded a lot of food and supplies like a hamster.
The space was still a space; plants grew normally, but the food put inside stayed fresh.
Lu Qiaoge certainly wouldn’t waste it. Whenever there was an opportunity, she would buy food at the state-run restaurant or department store and put it in.
Anyway, she wasn’t short of money now, and she had plenty of grain ration tickets.
Besides, with so many little animals, who knew when they would need feeding? How could she not prepare food?
She took out five large pork and scallion filled buns for Little Yellow, and dried fish for Old Black Cat. The two cats ate together, looking quite harmonious. Lu Qiaoge noticed that the black cat’s leg had surprisingly recovered to normal.
She discovered that her energy had the best effect on animals.
Lu Qiaoge then put out peanuts, grains, millet, and other grains for Grey Pigeon and the sparrows to eat.
Rat Big and Rat Two were omnivores, eating whatever they liked.
As for Xiao Cangcang, Lu Qiaoge found that it preferred eating metal scraps, which was impressive too.
But Xiao Cangcang also liked eating with everyone.
Lu Qiaoge petted them one by one; each one felt great to the touch.
Lu Qiaoge then took out a washbasin filled with space lake water and placed it in the middle.
She suddenly thought of Diandian and Little Black Snake in the birch woods. Should she call them to come along?
Because they didn’t live in the same place, the squirrel and Little Black Snake played the most with each other, and less with Hua Hua and the others.
Like Rat Big, Little Black Snake couldn’t move around openly in public.
Diandian considered Little Black Snake’s feelings, so it rarely came to the family courtyard.
Lu Qiaoge herself had few chances to go into the mountains.
Except for the old gold mine last time, today was the first time.
She decided not to wait until entering the mountain to find them. Diandian was so cute; it was better to participate in group activities often to build affection. Little Black Snake wasn’t harmful, but people were afraid of it. But today was fine; with her there, there would be no problem.
Lu Qiaoge said: “You guys eat first. I’ll go pick up Diandian and Little Black Snake.”
She didn’t forget to instruct: “Hide if anyone comes.”
Little Yellow Dog said: 【I’ll carry the washbasin in my mouth and hide it.】
Lu Qiaoge: “Good, safety is the most important!”
Her speed was very fast, and a few minutes later she brought back Diandian and Little Black Snake.
The little cuties were also good at pleasantries, chattering away, which dispelled Little Black Snake’s awkwardness, and it started eating with them.
Once the happy little animals were full, Lu Qiaoge set off.
Naturally, she didn’t take the main road. She ran straight toward Yuanbao Mountain along the pine forest.
Her speed was so fast that she vanished in the blink of an eye.
So, these little animals flew where they could fly and ran where they could run, chasing madly behind.
A few minutes later, Lu Qiaoge was the first to arrive at the agreed place with Tao Tao and Nini.
At the foot of the second mountain peak of Yuanbao Mountain.
Sure enough, there were many swallows perched on the treetops and grassland, visually estimated at several thousand.
Lu Qiaoge felt a bit regretful; only Tao Tao and Nini could communicate telepathically.
She called over the two swallows, including their three chicks.
Lu Qiaoge was familiar with them, and the three liked Lu Qiaoge’s aura.
The three little ones all landed on Lu Qiaoge’s shoulders, calling happily.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t hesitate. After concentrating for a moment, five balls of energy only she could see condensed at her fingertips.
This was the gift Lu Qiaoge had come up with these days for Tao Tao’s family of five.
She couldn’t guarantee it would last a long time, but it would work for three months and also improve their physical fitness.
Tao Tao couldn’t see it, so Lu Qiaoge told it seriously.
“…It will always wrap around you and follow you as you fly, but only for three months. After that, you’ll have to rely on yourselves. I believe in you and Nini’s abilities. Next year, you’ll definitely be able to bring the chicks back.”
Tao Tao felt that if it were human, it would be crying right now.
Woo woo woo, the little master was too good to them.
The sun had already risen.
Tao Tao was leading.
Several thousand swallows were all obediently waiting for Tao Tao to take off.
This grand scene was something Lu Qiaoge was seeing for the first time.
The animal world was no less impressive than the human world.
Lu Qiaoge had Xiao Cangcang go scout for the swallows to check if there were any fierce birds of prey around.
During the earlier run, Xiao Cangcang was the undisputed second place, third was Hua Hua. Since it stayed with her, third place was normal.
Then came Grey Pigeon and the sparrows, similar speeds. Old Black Cat, Little Yellow Dog, Rat Big, and Rat Two were about the same.
The slowest was Diandian with Little Black Snake hanging around its neck.
It seemed they still needed more training.
At this moment, Tao Tao and Nini affectionately rubbed against Lu Qiaoge, then bid farewell to the little friends one by one. This magical feeling was something Tao Tao and Nini were experiencing for the first time.
