Mǎn Bǎo also became excited, raising her little hand and shouting, "I want to go too!"
Zhou Dàlǎng asked her, "What are you going to do there?"
"I want to go to the pharmacy to sell medicine," Man Bao said. "Big brother, you don't need to take the snow herb; we'll take it ourselves."
"You still need to go to school!"
"No need," Mǎn Bǎo said, "Tomorrow is a day of rest!"
Zhou Dàlǎng was taken aback; only then did he remember that tomorrow was indeed a day of rest. He scratched his head, not good at refusing Mǎn Bǎo, and could only say, "You go ask your mother."
Qian Shi originally didn't want to agree, but upon seeing her daughter's excited expression, she hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Seeing the excited look on her daughter's rosy little face, Qian Shi felt it would be good to let her go out more. She realized that constantly hovering around her and little Qian Shi was not ideal, as four- or five-year-old children could only play with ants by themselves.
Mǎn Bǎo was overjoyed and quickly ran out to tell everyone the good news, asking them to pack up the dried snow herb and take it to the county the next day.
Dàtóu and Dàyā were both very happy, believing that their young aunt had spoken well of them and their grandmother. They got ready to go to the county together.
Early the next morning, the children woke up, dressed neatly, and were ready to go together.
Zhou Dàlǎng saw many children but was reluctant to take them, saying, "It's sufficient for your little aunt to go." "Why do you all want to join in the fun?"
Dàtóu said confidently, "Grandma has agreed."
Zhou Dàlǎng thought his mother had really agreed, so he hesitated a bit. In that moment of hesitation, Dàtóu had already led his three younger siblings to climb onto the cart and sit down, surrounding their little aunt in the middle.
It was early winter, and it was very cold in the morning. When they got on the cart, they weren't as cold anymore.
So Mǎn Bǎo said, "Big brother, just let them go." They also recognize many words. "This time, let them go out and see the world."
"What's there to see?" It's not too late for them to explore the world, even when they're as old as Lǎo Wǔ and Lǎo Liù, and we didn't bring much dry food.
Mǎn Bǎo remembered the dry food she had eaten at the market and in the county last time, and felt very disdainful. She said, "It doesn't matter, I'll give them mine."
She would buy more food when she went there.
All kinds of excuses were dismissed, and Zhou Dàlǎng thought that his mother had agreed, so he could only silently consent.
Pushing the cart to the gate, Qian Shi, who had dressed and emerged, noticed the older children sitting on the cart and frowned. But when she looked at her two sons, she thought they wanted to take the children to the countryside to explore. Out of consideration for her two daughters-in-law, she chose to remain silent.
Qian Shi handed a few coins to Zhou Dàlǎng, saying, "Although you are going to sell goods, you should also carry some money with you." When you get to the county, if you're hungry, buy some hot food. "Don't let the children go hungry."
Zhou Dàlǎng agreed, and then he and Zhou Èrlǎng pushed the cart together, while Zhou Wǔlǎng and Zhou Liùlǎng walked on either side of the cart to escort them.
Mǎn Bǎo yawned in the darkness, leaned on her nephews and nieces, and fell asleep again.
Mǎn Bǎo felt that the departure time this time was earlier than last time, but it wasn't. It was just that the sun was setting later now.
This time, Mǎn Bǎo slept more soundly, only waking up when they stopped to rest.
This time, they went a little further because the cart was lighter than last time, but they were still in the mountains.
Mǎn Bǎo rubbed her eyes and woke up to the sight of dense forests on both sides. Excited, she immediately climbed down from the cart and ran to Zhou Dàlǎng and Zhou Èrlǎng, speaking very attentively, "Big brother, second brother, rest well, don't get tired."
Zhou Dàlǎng and Zhou Èrlǎng felt very comforted. They smiled and said to her, "Mǎn Bǎo, don't worry, big brother (second brother) is not tired."
"Not tired, but you should rest a little more, just in case you get tired." "What will we do?" Mǎn Bǎo looked eagerly at the woods on both sides and said, "Big brother, second brother, you rest first." "I'll go find wild fruits for you to eat, okay?"
Zhou Dàlǎng understood that the child wanted to play in the woods, so he let them rest more. He was somewhat amused and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead, but don't go too far." Stay with your fifth brother.
Zhou Wǔlǎng had been walking for a long time and was feeling a little tired. He was squatting on the ground, resting, and reluctantly followed Mǎn Bǎo, complaining, "What's so fun in the woods? There are no wild fruits to eat here."
Mǎn Bǎo complained to him, "I didn't necessarily want wild fruits." "Fifth brother, you promised to help me find plants I haven't seen before, but I've never seen you find any."
Zhou Wǔlǎng was a little embarrassed, saying, "These things are all very common. How do I know which ones you haven't seen and which ones you have?"
Mǎn Bǎo had a good memory, and she could remember most of the plants she had recorded. So, she kept walking and talking, and found that many of them had already been recorded by her. So, she sighed and leaned against a tree, saying, "If only I were a little older."
Then she could venture into the deep forest and discover numerous plants for Kēkē.
Mǎn Bǎo felt that she was growing too slowly, so she asked Kēkē, "Kēkē, do you have a type of medicine that can make people grow bigger overnight?"
The system reported, "Host, the population in the interstellar pursuit has decreased overnight." If you are looking for rejuvenation medicine, you can find it at the mall, but it comes at a high price.
Mǎn Bǎo said, "I don't want that kind of medicine. I want to grow up quickly, and I don't want to become smaller again."
She also said, "Your future people are really strange." "I've only heard of people wanting to grow up, why do they like to become children instead?"
She said, "Becoming a child means there are many things you want to do but can't do."
The system said, "Wait until the host is twenty years old, and you will understand." "Then you are welcome to order the rejuvenation medicine."
Mǎn Bǎo felt that day would never come.
As they talked, Mǎn Bǎo used her eyes to locate valuable plants, while the system used scanning to identify them.
After recognizing the host, Kēkē has not leveled up mainly because its points are not sufficient. Therefore, it can only scan within a range of 200 meters of Mǎn Bǎo for now.
But Mǎn Bǎo could see more than 200 meters. As long as her field of vision was unobstructed, she could see very far.
So she leaned against a tree, tiptoed to the left, then to the right, and finally downward to look, and she saw clumps of plants behind the tree.
The leaves of that plant looked familiar, but she felt she hadn't seen them before.
So Mǎn Bǎo walked over, and Zhou Wǔlǎng hurried to help her, asking as they walked, "It's very steep here." "Why do you have to come?"
Mǎn Bǎo finally walked to the tree, pointed to the clump of plants, and asked, "Fifth brother, what is this?"
Zhou Wǔlǎng took a look and shook his head, "I don't know."
At the same time, the system finally scanned the result and said, "It's a yam!"
