Chương 37: She Overestimated Herself
Biên tập viên: Dragon Boat Translation
There was a saying, sunrise in the East, rain in the West.
The current phenomenon was that the sun rose in the North and it rained in the South.
Standing on this narrow and dangerous mountain road, everyone looked in the direction of the rain.
It was raining in the South, but there was sunlight breaking through the clouds in the sky to the West!
The clouds parted, and the sun appeared. The red wheel reflected the rays of the sunset. Vaguely, a Rainbow Bridge was set up at the place where the shadow of the mountain and the curtain of rain met.
The rainbow was out!
"I've seen this kind of mountain, walked this kind of road, and seen this kind of rain," Cheng Ernii suddenly said. "I've escaped disaster, encountered wolves, and now I'm still alive... I've not lived my life in vain!"
As she spoke, her tears began to fall.
Tears flowed down her face, but a smile appeared on her face.
"I didn't live in vain!" Cheng Ernii chuckled. She kept laughing. She laughed so hard that her chest was trembling. She laughed so hard that her eyes were staring at the Rainbow, and her pupils seemed to be reflecting light.
Third Aunt Mu, who wanted to scold her, didn't say it out loud. She only said in her heart, "Who wasn't?"
She then looked at Cheng Ling and thought, 'It's all thanks to my brother Ling.'
Cheng Ling didn't feel as emotional as they did. She glanced at Cheng Ernii and thought, "This cheap second sister of mine is an ancient version of an artistic girl.
She didn't go to school, and her personality was unpredictable, but this didn't stop her from having an artistic and sensitive heart.
Cheng Ling smiled and patted the horse beside her. "Mother, let's go."
Yi Xing was on the road again, but this time it was going downhill.
However, going downhill was not as easy as going uphill. In fact, because the slope was too steep, it was easier for the cart to slide down when the horse was pulling the cart, making it even more difficult.
Hong Guangyi couldn't even be bothered to drive the cart. Shi Hong, who had yet to recover from his injuries, was leading the horse in front while he pulled the cart behind.
In addition, the two girls, Cheng Dani and Cheng Ernii, were also arranged to board the carriage.
Their weight was just enough to press on the handcart, preventing it from sliding too fast.
Cheng Ling was also pulling the cart from behind, while Mu Sanniang was leading the horse in front. She said worriedly, "Brother Ling, why don't you let mother pull the carriage, and you go to the front to pull the horse!"
She was the only one who knew that Cheng Ling was also a girl. Among her daughters, Cheng Ling was the youngest.
At this moment, Third Aunt Mu's heart was the most tormented.
"Mother, just ask big sister to feed me some jerky. I'll be full and have plenty of strength," Cheng Ling said.
Sitting in the carriage, Cheng Dani quickly took out a handful of dried wolf meat from her bag and fed it to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling opened her mouth and caught it. As she chewed, she frowned slightly. Although the wolf meat had been roasted to a rather dry state, it was already the third day. If one were to eat it carefully, there would always be an uncomfortable sluggishness. It was likely that it would go bad!
"Mother, the wolf meat is about to go bad," she said softly.
Third Aunt Mu's expression changed. There were still about ten pounds of dried wolf meat left. If all of it were to go bad, it would be a heartache.
"Brother Ling, stop eating!" She said first.
"Leave them all for me," he said hurriedly. "I'll eat the wolf meat when we go down the mountain later."
Hong Guangyi, who was pulling the cart in front, heard this and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I can eat too! I won't hide it from you, I haven't been full these two days, so let me eat."
But Cheng Ernii had already taken out a piece of dried meat from her bag and was chewing it as she said, " "It's salty, fragrant, and delicious! Brother Ling, this isn't broken!"
"Quick," Third Aunt Mu said, "Give me a bite too."
In the end, everyone tried the dried meat and said, "It's not broken!"
The seven-year-old Hong Xiao lang slowly said, "It didn't go bad when I ate it. I've eaten really bad things before. It's not like this."
Was it really not broken? Or was it because everyone couldn't bear to waste food, so they all said this?
In the end, Cheng Ling concluded that the dried meat wasn't too fresh, but it shouldn't be too bad. The reason why she had a strange taste was probably because her tongue was particularly sensitive.
Actually, it wasn't just her tongue that had become more sensitive, but her entire five senses-shape, sound, smell, taste, touch-had all been enhanced.
Her five senses had become more sensitive, and the sound of the wind she could hear seemed to be different from others. This was the biggest problem!
This should also be the benefit of transporting energy. This indicated that she had further developed her body's soul.
Cheng Ling silently digested this conclusion and felt a little happy.
Although he now had a very picky tongue, this was not a problem. The most important thing was that his five senses were sharp and his combat strength could be improved.
Third Aunt Mu made a bold decision, "Eat! Even if it's not bad, eat it all, don't leave anything!"
Cheng Ernii cheered and immediately began to distribute the dried meat.
Even though she was sitting in the bumpy and slippery carriage, she still felt as if she was distributing rare delicacies.
Cheng Dani held up the dried meat and hesitated, not knowing if she should continue to feed Cheng Ling.
"It doesn't matter, big sister, just let me eat it," Cheng Ling said.
The practice of martial arts was not about happiness or enjoyment, but to move the heart and endure, to temper oneself into steel.
Cheng Ling decided to suffer.
However, when she ate the third piece of dried meat, she was slapped in the face by herself.
She started to feel nauseous and started to protest from her body to her soul. Even if he had a heart that would rather self-abuse, he still couldn't stand this!
She was too naive. She had not cultivated enough.
Cheng Ling suddenly turned her head. She still had to maintain her image as a master when Cheng Dani asked, so she laughed dryly. "I'm full. Big sister, you guys go ahead."
She covered her mouth with her hand and used two milk candies to heal herself.
What Cheng Ling didn't notice was that almost everyone had seen through her disguise. Even the six-year-old lady Yun had a new understanding of her.
Little Yun's mother thought, "So brother Cheng Ling is more picky than my father."
Her father had opened all kinds of restaurants in Lu County and never got tired of the fine food. However, on the day he took her out of the city, he ate a rotten mantou that had fallen to the ground.
He even broke off half of it for her to eat...
When the sun set in the West, the people who were eating while walking with great difficulty were about to smoke from their mouths after eating the dried meat. The foot of the mountain was finally in sight.
Hong Xiaolang, who had been well-behaved all the way, finally revealed some of his child's nature at this moment. He almost jumped up. "Great, we're going down the mountain!"
"My dear ancestor, your uncle's arm hurts. I can't take it!" Shi Hong yelled.
Before he could finish, his hands went soft, and his knees knelt forward uncontrollably.
The brown horse raised its front hooves, and with a neigh, it galloped down the main road at the foot of the mountain.
Hong Guangyi tried to pull the cart from behind but failed. He could only use a strange posture, dragging the cart's tail with both hands and running with both legs.
The small slope flashed past, and in the midst of the horses' cheers, the cart fell.
Bang!
