Chapter 170 Golden Cicada
"This place is Wanxuan Mountain in Fenglin Prefecture. Our clan has made a living by collecting herbs for generations and has a close relationship with Shennong."
"So that's it."
Mu Yunyun was a little anxious.
She's been gone for so long, Xiao Xi and the others must be terribly worried.
"I wonder how far this place is from Yingzhou Jiangshui. I am seriously injured here, and my clansmen must be anxious to find me and take me back. I'm afraid I can't stay here for too long."
coming!
Shao Yi's taut nerves snapped the moment she heard those words.
He was just deceiving himself.
Thinking that if this little female were to be wiped out and have nowhere to go, she would stay here so that her cubs wouldn't leave.
Now that she has personally admitted that there are still members of her tribe, and perhaps even the father of her young children, how could he possibly accept it?
"Your injury hasn't fully healed yet, so you should rest for a while longer. Besides, the mountain roads of Wanxuan Mountain are difficult to travel, and it's the rainy season now, so the mountain is unstable. It's not too late to wait until after summer."
"Summer is coming, that's too late." She couldn't wait that long.
“This lady is unaware that Wanxuan Mountain is fraught with danger, and Xiao Yan is too young to withstand the bumpy ride. If you are truly in a hurry, I would like to have Wu Niao send a letter to deliver the message first, and then I will personally escort you out after summer.”
"That's fine..."
Mu Yunyun had just opened the map, and it was indeed as he said. The surrounding mountains were towering and deserted, and they were all inhabited by high-level beasts. She probably wouldn't be able to get out on her own.
Seeing that she had agreed, Shaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's one more thing," he hesitated. "I raised Xiao Yan myself, and he already considers me his father. Before you leave the mountain, it's best not to let him know too much. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it."
"It's only right," Mu Yunyun said gratefully. "If it weren't for your careful care, the cub wouldn't have grown up healthy."
"Father! Mother!"
Outside the door, the little guy was banging on the door.
"Father, I've caught the golden cicada bird, come out quickly."
Mu Yunyun exchanged a glance with him: "Shaoyi, you can just call me Yunyun in front of the cubs."
"it is good."
Shao Yi got up, opened the door, and the little guy darted in and rushed straight into Mu Yunyun's arms.
He looked up at her excitedly with his little face.
"Mother, you've been sleeping for so long. Have you been wanting to try Father's roasted cicada for a while? Father said that his roasted cicada is your favorite food."
When Mu Yunyun saw his golden eyes, she felt her heart melt.
She kissed his little face: "Yes, of course I want to. I must try it later."
“Then Mother will wait here, I will go help Father.”
"it is good."
Although she didn't know what a golden cicada bird was, Mu Yunyun didn't care what it ate.
However, Mu Yunyun was still startled when the golden cicada was served.
This...this is a golden cicada?
It's just a big fluttering moth!
It was about the size of a palm, with golden light emanating from its wings. Its abdomen was full, and it seemed not to be fully cooked, as it was still wriggling.
"Mother, eat quickly."
The little guy couldn't wait any longer; he grabbed it with his little hand and handed it to Mu Yunyun.
Mu Yunyun swallowed hard. Looking at the child's hopeful expression, she couldn't bear to discourage him, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and open her mouth.
Upon tasting, you'll find a crispy, baked crust, but without any caramelized aroma; instead, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste.
With one bite, the plump abdomen of the insect burst open, filling her mouth with a fishy, sour, and astringent taste, almost making Mu Yunyun vomit.
The little guy, however, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
They grabbed one in each hand and ate it in small bites. The cicadas, no bigger than their palms, weren't quite dead yet. They were bitten and howled, their juices bursting out and splashing all over their faces.
Mu Yunyun: "..."
