Mischief

Lin Nannan looked at their dejected, wilted looks and couldn't help but smile bitterly while massaging her temples.

Going up against Lu Dudu was purely asking for trouble, and the key point was that they wouldn’t take advice.

What's more, they refused to accept it and kept asking Lu Dudu how she had found them. Lu Dudu was unaware of her own skill and simply told the truth—she just knew. Xun Mu and the others didn't believe her, and Lu Dudu couldn't explain it clearly. In the end, she grew impatient and didn't even want to talk to them anymore.

Lin Nannan realized that she was the one in the most difficult position—not only did she have to coax the pampered little miss, but she also had to consider the others' feelings. It was really too much.

"Du Du, don't be angry. The uncles were just curious and also think Du Du is amazing. Let's not be upset, okay?" Lin Nannan knelt down to her level and coaxed her gently.

Lu Dudu threw her arms around her neck and refused to speak.

Lin Nannan knew she was truly angry and could only look helplessly at Xun Mu and the others. "Du Du has very keen senses, so if you’re breathing nearby when she gets close, she'll be able to sense it. But she's just a child and can't explain these things clearly. So no matter how well you hide, if she gets close and wants to find you, you won't be able to escape. Please don't try to play this game with her anymore."

Xun Mu and the others looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other. Their hearts had gone numb in disbelief, but they maintained polite smiles on their faces...

"Well, sister-in-law, we'll take our leave now!" Xun Mu apologized sheepishly.

Lin Nannan nodded. After they left, she gently untangled her daughter’s arms from around her neck and looked at her sullen little face. "Alright, don't be angry anymore. They just met Du Du and didn't know how capable you are. We can forgive them for now, right?"

After being coaxed, Lu Dudu's mood improved, and she nodded. Then she said, "Mom, I want to eat sweet fruit."

At the base, she had the least access to various sweet fruits because of the distance—many fruits weren't easy to transport over. Many things left a deep impression on Lu Dudu because after tasting them briefly, she never had the chance to eat them again, leaving a strong memory.

How could Lin Nannan refuse? She knew how much her daughter loved fruit and said with a smile, "Let's go further in. Maybe we'll find even tastier ones."

"Okay!"

The mother and daughter were like mice entering a rice bin, so delighted they forgot all about returning.

Back at the military camp, Lu Jianan and the others were still looking for Lin Nannan and her daughter. It wasn't until Xun Mu came down from the mountain and mentioned it that word reached Lu Jianan's ears, and he learned that the mother and daughter had gone into the mountains.

"This is utter nonsense!" Lu Jianan couldn't help scolding after finding out. He thought Lin Nannan was joking—going into the mountains with a child, without worrying about the child getting hurt.

Besides, the matter of the prescription was no joke. How could she not take it seriously? It was driving him crazy.

Knowing Lin Nannan's temperament, once she went into the mountains, she wouldn't return anytime soon. He simply had people wait, ready to catch Lin Nannan when she returns.

Hu Zhaoxia and Ah Si were busy with their own matters. By the time they got the news, the two were almost about to return.

Lin Nannan took Lu Dudu exploring in the mountains, specifically choosing places they had never been before, and indeed discovered many delicious treats.

She had entered the mountains purely to make her daughter happy. Lin Nannan foraged whatever she could find and actually managed to gather quite a few tasty things. Among them, two plump wild rabbits and a brightly colored mountain pheasant were the most eye-catching. The wild fruits, hidden beneath the grass, were overlooked.
