Chapter 219 Back to the Mountain
December 9th, Wednesday.
The holidays are over and workdays are here.
My aunt got up earlier than usual and was busy in the kitchen quietly, with Lao Li helping her.
When Li Mu woke up, the house was already filled with the aroma of delicious food.
Li Qinran also had to go to work today. After being woken up by her aunt, she went to wash up in a daze.
"Xiao Mu, have you packed everything? Don't forget your keys, charging cables and other things." The aunt who was busy in the kitchen took the time to ask.
"It's all packed."
"Okay, let's eat right away."
The family sat together and had breakfast.
The atmosphere was a little depressing compared to when Li Mu just returned home.
After meal.
My aunt started packing things.
When he came back, Li Mu only carried a cross-body bag and a bag of matsutake mushrooms and honey. Now that he was leaving, he had a lot more bags, big and small.
"Aunt, don't take it. I really can't take it all." Li Mu looked at the bags full of braised beef, sausage, boiled chicken, red dates, nuts, etc. He reached out to stop them, but was slapped back by his aunt.
"I just cooked this meat. It's still hot. You can eat it on the way."
My aunt kept putting things into the bag while muttering, "Xiao Nan, you two don't have much stuff. You too, don't forget to bring a suitcase next time you come back. I'll just bring a small shoulder bag. How can I pack your things?"
"Got it." Li Mu stood aside and nodded honestly.
Li Qinran leaned against the door frame and smiled secretly.
On the other side, in the single-family villa area of the provincial party committee compound.
"Donggua, come here and let me pet you." Brother Nan waved to the big orange cat lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window basking in the sun.
Daju glanced at her lazily and lay there motionless.
Brother Nan didn't care. He walked up to the orange cat, squatted down and rubbed its belly. "I'm leaving now. You're done. I helped you beat up Uncle Zheng's dog yesterday. It will definitely come to seek revenge on you today. No one will help you fight anymore, haha!"
The big orange cat didn't care. It opened its mouth and yawned, and even kicked Brother Nan's hand away with its hind legs.
Brother Nan grinned and didn't hit it.
"Nannan, have you packed everything? Mom will drive you to the high-speed rail station." A pleasant voice sounded at the bedroom door.
"It's packed."
Brother Nan stood up and said, "You don't have to take me to the high-speed rail station. Just take me to the Forestry Bureau's staff quarters."
"Oh, you want to go with Li Mu, right?"
"Oh my, Mom is so smart!"
"Stop it, let's go."
Brother Nan put on his canvas bag and walked out of the bedroom pulling a large suitcase.
The big orange cat lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window stared blankly at Sister Nan as she walked out of the room, then quickly got up and followed her.
On the first floor, in the elegantly decorated living room, Brother Nan’s father was sitting on the sofa reading the briefing sent by his secretary after finishing his breakfast.
"Dad, I'm leaving."
"Yeah." Brother Nan's father agreed casually and continued reading the briefing.
Brother Nan grinned and walked out of the villa.
Brother Nan’s mother started the car, and Brother Nan put his things in the trunk, opened the passenger door and got in.
The big orange cat standing at the door was startled at this time and hurriedly chased after him.
"boom!"
The car door closes.
Daju looked confused.
The car started slowly and drove out of the garage. Big Orange chased the car until the car sped away. Then it stopped and stared at the car motionlessly as it went further and further away.
I don't know when Brother Nan's father put down the briefing and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor, also staring at the direction the car left.
Li Mu had been chatting with Nan Ge on WeChat. Seeing that she had already gone out and was about to reach the gate of the community, he also put on his cross-body bag and went downstairs carrying a lot of bags.
His uncle, aunt, and Li Qinran all followed him downstairs and walked to the gate of the community.
Not long after, a red BMW stopped.
When Nan got out of the car and went to the trunk to get his luggage, his uncle and aunt had already walked to the front of the car and were chatting with Nan's mother. They were chatting very enthusiastically and seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Brother Nan's mother glanced at Li Mu from time to time.
"Brother Nan, I'll wait for you to come back and play during the National Day." Li Qinran walked up and said.
"Okay, come here, pinch my face. I won't be able to have it pinched for half a month." Brother Nan smiled and stretched out his claws.
Li Qinran took a few steps back, but ultimately failed to dodge it.
"Pfft, why do you look like a migrant worker, carrying so many bags?" Brother Nan pinched Li Qinran's face while looking at the pile of things in Li Mu's hands.
“It’s all food.”
"Come on, put it in my suitcase." Brother Nan let Li Qinran go and opened her big suitcase. There were not many things in it and it was still empty.
"Why are you bringing a suitcase when you don't have much stuff?" Li Mu put the things in.
"We still have to shop when we get to Lingchun. Why don't we pull a suitcase and carry it with our hands?" Brother Nan looked at Li Mu as if he was a fool.
"."
Li Mu remained silent.
There is a bus stop next to the entrance of the community, which can go directly to the high-speed rail station.
Seeing the bus they were going to take stopped at the traffic light and about to enter the station, Li Mu and Brother Nan walked towards the bus stop.
At this time, both parents began to give them instructions.
Li Mu greeted Brother Nan's mother, and Brother Nan's mother also gave him some instructions.
The bus pulls into the station.
Li Mu and Brother Nan turned around, waved, and got on the bus.
Brother Nan stuck his head out of the window and looked back, until he turned a corner and couldn't see anything anymore.
"Ni Mu, are we leaving now, meow?" The cat popped its head out of the bag and looked up at Li Mu.
"Yes, let's go back to the Forest Guard Courtyard."
"Well"
"I'll be back during National Day." Li Mu rubbed the kitten's head and said softly.
"Will be back!"
"Yes, so Master Yogurt doesn't have to be reluctant."
“How many days until National Day?”
"Master Yogurt can count for yourself," Li Mu said, "Today is the 18th, and there are 30 days in this month."
"30 days!"
"Yes, Master Yogurt, you can count how many numbers there are between 18 and 30, and the numbers are the days."
"Ok!"
The cat nodded in agreement, lowered its head, and fell silent.
But if you listen carefully, you can hear her counting quietly:
"18, 19, 20"
"There are 12 numbers!" the cat looked up and said, "That means 12 days, meow?"
"Mr. Yogurt is really amazing."
"Yes!"
Brother Nan watched the conversation between the man and the cat with interest, and from time to time he gave Li Mu a few arithmetic problems to translate for the kitten to test her.
High Speed Rail Station.
The bus terminal is here. The two got off the bus with their luggage, walked across the square, and entered the station after security check.
They did not travel with the tiger-hunting team, so they had to buy their own high-speed rail tickets, but the Forestry Bureau reimbursed them.
The station wasn't particularly crowded, as most of the people who were leaving had left yesterday.
Brother Nan and Li Mu stood side by side, looking up at the big screen to find the high-speed train they wanted to take.
After finding it, Brother Nan turned to look at Li Mu and said seriously: "Li Mu, when we return to the reserve, you will be my only little brother!"
Li Mu hummed, took the suitcase from her hand, and pulled it towards the waiting hall.
Brother Nan quickly followed, grinning.
