Turns out it was already lunchtime, and they hadn't come back yet, so Jiang Hu got worried and came to find them himself.
Seeing the two safely back down the mountain, Jiang Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Why were you out for so long? We're not familiar with this area. What if you encounter a wild animal?"
Back in Fu'an Village, he used to let them roam the mountains freely because they had lived there for many years and knew there were no wild animals on the nearby mountains.
But they were still unsure about the situation around Xiangmu Village.
"Don't worry, Dad. We're being careful, and if there's any danger, we'll run away," said Xiaomi, sticking out her tongue playfully.
Wei Ziang went on to describe their journey up the mountain and the small path they had found.
"Xiaomi wants to see what's upstream of the creek, Uncle. Tomorrow morning we can bring a machete and check it out. Who knows, maybe we can climb up the mountain."
