When they reached the bumpiest part of the small road, Bai Shan simply called a halt to the carriage and hopped down to walk.
Manbao, of course, hopped down to follow him.
The two of them walked along, picking flowers and brushing past plants, while Keke took the rare opportunity to scan the surroundings. Not finding any unrecorded novel plants, Keke refocused its attention and started to amble along after its host.
Knowing she liked flowers, Bai Shan picked a large bunch of white and yellow wild daisies that were blooming nicely along the road and then tied them together with a blade of grass to give to her.
Manbao took them and teased, "You tied them so clumsily, watch me do it."
So she untied the grass, stuffed the flowers into his chest, and as they walked, she started to pinch off branches and remove leaves, arranging them at varying heights before binding them again with the grass, giving them an entirely different appearance.
