Chapter 55: I Promised to Come Find You, Don't Run Around
Refreshing and delicious sour plum soup, sweet and sour.
Grandma Qin poured it into a jar and asked Shen Ningning to soak it in the lotus pond of Lingquan.
In this way, it will be as refreshing and delicious as if it had been chilled when taken out in a while.
Shen Ningning poured a large bowl for Mo Lingwei.
After he drank it, he really felt a lot cooler, dispelling the heat of running all morning.
"When I came here, I saw several streams and rivers in the mountains. Is it your spring water?" Mo Lingwei asked the little man beside him.
Shen Ningning nodded: "Yes, the mountains are too dry. The animals can't drink water, so they will come to find me. It's too unsafe."
Mo Lingwei held the empty bowl and nodded gently.
Fortunately, there was the spring water she put.
In the morning, when he was looking for Shen Ningning all over the mountains, he drank all the water bags he brought and almost died of thirst.
Shen Ningning said again: "Brother, wait a minute, I'll get you some more lotus yogurt, my grandma makes it delicious!"
After she left, Mo Lingwei stood up and poured himself another bowl of sour plum soup.
Seeing that he was about to sit back in his original position, Wolf Three, who was lying next to him, quietly stretched out a paw.
Push his stool!
Mo Lingwei sat on the ground all of a sudden.
The sour plum soup instantly spilled on the white dragon embroidered collar on his chest!
Wolf Three snorted, and the wolves lying in the shade not far away bared their teeth like people, as if they were laughing.
"You!" Mo Lingwei stood up and stared at Wolf Three at his feet.
Wolf Three closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
That bad thing just now had nothing to do with it!
It was just an innocent little wolf stretching!
Just then, Shen Ningning came back with a plate of lotus yogurt.
Seeing a wet spot on Mo Lingwei's chest, it was very obvious under the white fabric.
"Brother, what happened to you? Did you fall?"
Mo Lingwei was about to point out that the wolves were doing something bad.
However, when he looked up, he found that all the wolves had closed their eyes, as if they were sleeping.
Only the black wolf king licked his claws lazily.
Mo Lingwei narrowed his eyes.
Are these wolves playing tricks on him?
He looked down at Shen Ningning: "If I spill it accidentally, I may have to stay here with you for a while."
Originally, he wanted to tell her about that and leave.
But now Mo Lingwei changed his mind.
The wolves suddenly let out a small howl, as if they were a little angry.
When Shen Ningning heard it, she nodded happily: "Okay! Brother, take it off, I'll let grandma help you wash it!"
"No, I'll do it myself." He took off his outer robe and inner clothes neatly.
In the sunlight, the boy's solid upper body was like white jade, shining with a strong and powerful brilliance.
The beautiful clavicle and smooth texture were full of vigorous youthfulness.
Mo Lingwei was still wearing pants and black boots, but he did not forget to take out Shen Ningning's handkerchief from his clothes, took it to the flowing spring water beside, and washed it together.
Finally, with the help of Shen Ningning, he hung the clothes and handkerchief on the rope together.
The two sat down in the chairs under the corridor again, feeling the mountain breeze.
Mo Lingwei looked at Shen Ningning's round face and told her the real purpose of his visit this time.
"Actually, I want to tell you something else. You asked me to check your life experience before, and I almost have a clue."
The little guy sat up straight when he heard it, and his black water eyes were full of ecstasy.
"Really? Brother, have you found my father and mother?"
"No, but I sent someone to investigate and learned that there is a midwife in Yu'an County who once delivered a baby girl for a family named Shen. If we can find her and confirm the details with her, we may be able to find your parents."
All the clues matched!
Shen Ningning was delighted!
"When are we going to find this midwife and ask her clearly?" the little guy asked.
Mo Lingwei nodded: "If you are willing, I will pick you up tomorrow morning and we will go together."
For this, he has already postponed other things.
Shen Ningning agreed decisively: "Okay! That's great!"
The little guy rushed over and hugged Mo Lingwei's hands in ecstasy.
"Brother is so good! If you can help me find my father and mother, I will definitely thank you very much!"
Looking at the happiness in Shen Ningning's beautiful and moist eyes, Mo Lingwei looked down and saw her two small hands holding one of his palms.
Her hands were too small, white and tender, with slightly round and fat fingertips.
Like a water radish.
Mo Lingwei coughed lightly and let her pull him.
"You helped me, so I'm repaying you. It's my duty."
The wolves stared at his and Shen Ningning's hands, their eyes almost spitting fire.
How could their delicate little Ningning be held by this man!
After a while, Grandma Qin prepared the dishes for lunch.
The mushroom and pork soup dumplings, with thin skin, the soup is fragrant and flowing freely after a bite.
It is also served with steamed pork ribs, fragrant braised tofu, crispy fried fish slices, and cold red oil chicken shreds!
Grandma Qin also prepared a bowl of clear stewed yam duck soup separately.
Looking at such a rich dish, Mo Lingwei paused: "Old Madam Qin has worked hard."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, eat more!" Grandma Qin smiled.
Shen Ningning has already held the bowl in her little hands and started to eat!
Grandma Qin was extremely enthusiastic and kept picking up dishes for Mo Lingwei.
The wolves were lying nearby, each gnawing on a large bone that was full of meat.
Seeing such a harmonious atmosphere, Mo Lingwei's heart was moved.
He suddenly understood why he had to find Shen Ningning.
When he was recovering from his injuries, Shen Ningning gave him a feeling of being too stable.
Even though he was the prince, he was walking on the edge of a knife.
But the time he spent living in the mountains with Shen Ningning allowed him to temporarily unload his heavy burden and forget the cunning and cruelty of the struggle for imperial power.
He thought so, completely immersed in his thoughts.
It was so deep and dark, with a faint and gentle look, always looking in the direction of Shen Ningning.
Finally, the little guy found it.
She looked at Mo Lingwei, and then looked down at the big duck leg in her bowl.
Shen Ningning thought about it, and still silently picked up the duck leg and put it in Mo Lingwei's bowl.
Reluctantly cut off "love"!
Mo Lingwei was stunned and came back to his senses.
The little guy's voice was soft, and his big eyes fluttered: "Brother, eat if you want to eat, don't just watch it, it's so pitiful."
Mo Lingwei: ...
She thought he was coveting the duck leg in her bowl! ?
Grandma Qin smiled from ear to ear: "There are still many at home. I will make more next time the Crown Prince comes!"
Mo Lingwei took the duck leg back with a dark face.
"You eat it, no need to give it to me." He was not greedy for duck legs!
After a full meal, Mo Lingwei took the initiative to help Grandma Qin chop wood.
He built half a wall.
Grandma Qin was so happy that she kept praising Mo Lingwei for being a good person.
Until the sunset, Mo Lingwei's clothes were also dried. After he changed, his eyebrows returned to their usual noble and cold expression.
Grandma Qin brought a bag of oranges for him to take back.
But Mo Lingwei refused.
"It's not that I don't want to accept it, but there are many eyes and ears around me. I'm afraid someone will track down the oranges and disturb you."
After he explained, Grandma Qin didn't insist on giving it to him.
Shen Ningning sent him to the door, and Mo Lingwei looked at the little guy.
His tone was cold: "It's agreed that I will wait for you at the foot of Wolf Mountain tomorrow morning."
"Don't run around this time, and don't forget that I will definitely come."
Shen Ningning nodded her little head: "I know!"
How could she run around! Hasn't she always been well behaved?
In this way, Mo Lingwei left with peace of mind, and did not let Shen Ningning accompany him down the mountain.
Looking at his back as he left, Grandma Qin murmured in a daze: "It's not like the legend..."
Shen Ningning raised her watery eyes: "Grandma, what legend?"
Grandma Qin came back to her senses and closed the door with a smile: "Nothing, Ningning, Wolf Four has eaten too much, you bring it here, and grandma will rub its belly."
The next day.
Before dawn.
Mo Lingwei's carriage was waiting at the foot of Wolf Mountain.
