Chapter 197 Alertness
sizzle~
Suddenly, hissing sounds of snakes spitting out their tongues came from all directions.
The sudden voice made Mu Qingqing's hair stand on end, and then she suddenly opened her eyes!
She looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of her with confusion.
Looking around, why was she in the woods?
Shouldn't she be sleeping soundly in her two-meter-long bed at home? How did she end up in this place?
Mu Qingqing was not unfamiliar with the place in front of her. The crystal clear ice crystals covered all the trees and weeds like a layer of gauze, and the light coming in from outside shone on the ice crystals, dazzlingly bright.
But Mu Qingqing had no time to appreciate it now, because the hissing sound kept lingering in her ears, making her feel creepy.
But the strange thing was that she could always hear the sound but couldn't see the shadow of the snake.
She looked around for the snake, but could only see a series of large trees covered with ice crystals in front of her.
The big tree had magical power, attracting Mu Qingqing to move forward.
Every time she walked, she would touch the ice crystals on the weeds.
Then a trail of black dust was left on the ground.
As they walked deeper into the woods, the hissing became deafening in Mu Qingqing's ears. She covered her ears in pain, squatted down, and screamed.
"Stop in my ear!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the hissing sound faded away like the tide, and her ears became much quieter in an instant.
At this time, a subtle chanting-like sound appeared in front of Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing immediately stood up and ran forward.
However, what came into view was the dream I had in the northern cave.
A group of orcs with human bodies and snake tails stood on the altar, holding black wooden sticks with blue flames, and in the middle was a tied up Mo Xiao with black scriptures covered all over his body!
He hung his head weakly and groaned in pain. The groans became louder and louder, and finally he just roared out loud.
He roared and raised his head, his red eyes filled with terrifying bloodthirsty aura!
Then, he saw Mu Qingqing through the crowd. At the same time, everyone turned around and looked at Mu Qingqing.
The scene was so strange and horrifying that Mu Qingqing widened her eyes in horror and took a step back!
"Mother? Mother?"
Yu'er held Mu Qingqing's face with her little hands. When she saw her mother open her eyes in confusion, she pretended to be relieved.
"Mom, you finally woke up! You scared Yu'er to death!"
Perhaps the dream was too real. Mu Qingqing stared at the familiar ceiling in a daze, obviously she had not yet walked out of it.
Until a pair of soft little hands covered her cheeks again.
"Mom, what are you daydreaming about?"
His eyes moved to Yuer, and her troubled little face was almost wrinkled into a bun.
"Mother! If you ignore Yu'er again, she will be angry!"
Yuer held her two little arms together with difficulty.
Mu Qingqing subconsciously hugged Yu'er and kissed her. The cool touch finally made her regain some of her sanity.
"Yuer, why are you here?"
Comforted by her mother's kiss, Yuer finally showed a smile on her face.
She frowned and looked at her mother strangely.
"Mom, it's already noon, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
Mu Qingqing was shocked. It was already noon? How could it have passed so quickly?
She looked up outside and saw that it was still snowing heavily, but it was lighter than the previous few days.
Mu Qingqing smiled bitterly, rubbed her forehead and got dressed.
"Yuer, where is your father?"
It's already noon, why didn't Mo Xiao wake her up?
Yuer helped her mother get clothes.
Hearing this, he puffed his cheeks and muttered, "Father is also sleeping, on the sofa downstairs."
Mu Qingqing paused and shook her head helplessly.
"Why did he run away?"
"Some tribesmen came to look for my mother in the morning, but she was still sleeping, so my father went out to deal with her. Then he came back and sat on the sofa. I don't know when he fell asleep..."
Mu Qingqing nodded, put on her clothes, and carried Yu'er downstairs.
Yu'er had gained a lot of weight, and it was a cold winter, so he was wearing thick clothes, so it was quite difficult for Mu Qingqing to hold him.
However, looking at Yu'er's bright eyes, Mu Qingqing gritted her teeth and did not let go.
Ever since his father came back, Yuer and his mother have rarely been so intimate with each other, and they talk more.
"Mother, Brother Qi's cooking is delicious, why don't you let him cook?"
"Because Langqi is still a little cub like Yu'er, he needs to be loved and cared for. Mother can't bear to watch him cook."
Mu Qingqing usually cooks. When she is dealing with things in the tribe, she will also keep some semi-finished products at home, which can be eaten after a little processing.
But we did get up too late today, and I'm afraid the kids are hungry.
However, when she came to the kitchen carrying Yu'er, she was stunned.
She saw Lang Qi still standing in front of the pot on a small stool, stir-frying with a spatula in his hand, while Mo Lin was helping on the side, washing and cutting vegetables. Even Mo Yan helped from time to time by handing over bowls, chopsticks and so on.
The picture is warm and harmonious.
Seeing that everyone had something to do except himself, the tiger cub stood in front of the little beast, staring at it motionlessly.
Mu Qingqing found it funny and asked Mo Yan and the others what they were doing.
"Ah Cheng is worried that the cub will make trouble, so he is keeping an eye on it."
Mu Qingqing was silent. Tiger Prime Minister’s body was not even as big as the wild beast. Could he keep a close eye on him?
Mu Qingqing's arrival did not affect anything. The kids called "Mom" sweetly and continued to work.
Mo Yan was bored and chatted with Mu Qingqing while handing things over.
"Mom, my eldest brother said that the family should be neat and tidy. Why? Things in the kitchen are obviously not my forte."
Mu Qingqing glanced at Lang Qi and Mo Lin who had their backs to her.
Mo Lin was careful and knew that Lang Qi always treated him as an outsider and would always try his best to help. In order to prevent him from having this idea, Mo Yan was forced to be pulled in.
Mo Yan is an impatient person, how could he stay here?
Mu Qingqing asked him with a smile, "Then what are you good at?"
When talking about this, Mo Yan became excited.
"I can solve fights between cubs! As long as there are cubs fighting in the tribe, I will step forward!"
Mu Qingqing was puzzled, "Then how did you solve it?"
Could it be that she had made a mistake? Did Yan have a talent for negotiation and diplomacy?
"I'll beat them all up. If I win, they'll listen to me and shake hands and make peace."
Mu Qingqing: "..."
It's not about solving problems with violence.
When Mu Qingqing came downstairs, they had already prepared several dishes, so after a while, everyone washed their hands and went to the table.
Mu Qingqing helplessly watched Mo Xiao sleeping on the sofa.
When she was about to bend down to wake the person up, she suddenly found that the black rune she saw in her dream appeared faintly on Mo Xiao's hand!
It’s light, like the color of a brush that’s running out of ink.
She froze in place, a chill rising from the soles of her feet and crawling up her spine to her limbs.
That was not a dream, Mu Qingqing affirmed.
It was more like an omen, like a warning of impending danger.
