Ancient Eden

Chapter 64

(21.2)

Li Mang’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Mu Qing regretted a little her carelessness. Although she didn’t know much about the inside story, she had an idea more or less, she somewhat felt that it was better not to let Li Mang know about the previous matter with Naonao, and looking at Naduo’s intentions, it was obvious that she had the same idea as her, otherwise she would have told Li Mang about it a long time ago.

Mu Qing took the skirt from his hands, and squatted down, folding it again and putting it away. When she raised her head, Li Mang was gone. A little worried in her heart, she hurriedly lifted the curtain to look outside, and sure enough she saw him going in the direction of Naduo’s hut.

It was still very early, and the forest around the settlement was still shrouded in a thick layer of fog, and there were not many people outside. When Mu Qing, chasing after him, reached the front of Naduo’s hut, she saw Li Mang looking visibly very furious. Naduo was blocking him, with wide-opened eyes. She looked shocked and afraid, and the two seemed to be arguing about something. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

On the side, Youyou, the children and the man from Naduo’s family were watching them, at a lost.

Mu Qing didn’t know what they were saying, but she could guess that they were definitely arguing about the matter of Naonao cutting apart the snake skin last time, and it seemed that Li Mang was going to find Naonao to settle the score? And then Naduo was desperately trying to stop him?

When Naduo saw Mu Qing, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pointed at her and said a string of flying words, and Mu Qing heard her mention her name.

Li Mang turned around and took a glance at her.

Mu Qing was standing not far behind him, with a smile on her face. There was tranquility and comfort in her smile.

Li Mang looked at her for a while, and the rage on his face gradually subsided. He then removed away Naduo’s hands that were still pulling him, walked with big steps up to Mu Qing, grabbed her hand and lead her back to the hut. After walking a few steps, he looked down and saw that she was still barefoot, so he stopped for a moment, gestured for her to stand still, and turned back to go to Naduo’s hut again.

Mu Qing was a little panicked just now, she didn’t feel pain when she ran out in a panic, but now the soles of her feet did feel a little painful. After waiting for a while, she saw him bend down to come out of Naduo’s hut, carrying an actual pair of shoes in his hand.

This was indeed a pair of shoes, but both shoes were entirely wrapped in animal fur, which looked very thick and heavy, and it was probably meant to be worn in the snow during winter. Mu Qing turned the shoes over to look at them. The bottom was made with animal skin impermeable to water, and the sides of the shoes were firmly sewn together, with fine stitches, and at a glance, Mu Qing knew that it was most likely Naduo’s craftsmanship.

Mu Qing didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh, about the fact that he was making her wear this kind of snow boots on such a hot day. But rather than having to walk bare feet or wear her soaking wet sneakers, this seemed to be the only way for her delicate feet.

Li Mang was already crouching down, helping her to put on the shoes on her feet. Although they were slightly heavy and the size slightly too big for her, but it could be said that they were fitting, and she would not fall down when walking. Seeing him looking a little apologetic when he looked up at herself, she couldn’t help but reach out her hand to stroke the messy hair on the top of his head, and she chuckled.
