Quick mission: We don't make trouble

When Zhu Yingying saw Yu Bo sleeping soundly, she remembered what had happened in the past two days.

Mother Zhu continued muttering, "It's all thanks to Xiao Yu! You sprained your ankle, and he carried you on his back to find a way out, which is how your father and I met. Otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous! When we get out, we must thank him properly."

"Go out?" Zhu Yingying couldn't help asking herself, "Can we get out smoothly? Even if we really go out, can we return to the way we were before?" However, when she looked at her mother's face full of joy, the question on her lips was swallowed back.

Zhu Yingying turned to her mother and asked, "What about my dad?"

Upon hearing the sound, Mother Zhu turned around to check, but soon uttered a puzzled sound: "Huh? He was just here, Old Zhu, Old Zhu, Doctor Zhu..."

The shouting startled Yu Bo from his deep sleep. He woke up instantly and instinctively reached out to grab the stick beside him, asking anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhu Yingying couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, even saying something like "Nothing serious, it's just that my mom is too worried about my dad."

Mother Zhu was very stubborn and said in a double-talking manner: "I don't have to worry about him, that old man."

Yu Bo finally reacted: "Hey, Sister Zhu, are you awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake. Thank you, Yu Bo."

"Hey, that doesn't exist. It's what we should do."

Yu Bo turned around and shouted loudly towards the dark surroundings: "Uncle, uncle, Sister Zhu is awake, come and take a look..."

A voice came from the darkness: "I heard you, you're yelling so loudly, be careful not to attract wolves."

As if in response to what he said, a roar of a wild beast came from the distant and deep night sky. The sound was deafening, echoing, and creepy.

Everyone immediately became nervous, their nerves were on edge, and fear and anxiety were reflected on everyone's face.

Mother Zhu even complained, "Zhu Fu! You're such a bad-mouthed person! Whatever you say comes true!"

Father Zhu listened attentively for a while and then comforted everyone, "Don't worry, this roar is still far away from us."

However, despite this, he still didn't dare to let his guard down. He turned to Yu Bo and instructed, "Xiao Yu, add more wood and make the fire bigger. Then light these herbs and place them around us. It would be best if we could arrange them in a circle, surrounding us. This will prevent mosquito bites and keep away snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

Just now, because Mr. Zhu felt that there were too many mosquitoes, he went to the grass next to him to look for various herbs with insect repellent effects, such as Artemisia absinthium, mugwort, mint, and mosquito repellent grass.

As he spoke, he handed a large bundle of herbs in his arms to Yu Bo. After Yu Bo took it, he followed Zhu's father's instructions.

Yu Bo couldn't help but sigh: It's so nice to have an old Chinese doctor who knows medical skills around me!

After Mr. Zhu finished explaining things to Yu Bo, he walked over to his daughter and said softly, "Yingying, you're finally awake."

Zhu Yingying's voice was a little choked: "Dad..." Tears flowed uncontrollably.

She had once been on her own, adventuring outside, and no matter how many difficulties, setbacks, and grievances she encountered, she had never shed a tear in front of her parents. But at this moment, when she saw her parents again, all her strength instantly collapsed, and she could no longer suppress her emotions.

These were tears of joy at surviving a catastrophe, tears of excitement at finding loved ones. That feeling was invaluable, as if the whole world had become a better place.

Zhu's father gently patted Zhu Yingying's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, child, Dad is here. Everything will be fine."

"And mom..." Mother Zhu came over and hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes full of heartache and love.

The family cuddled together, sharing warmth and strength. Yu Bo, standing nearby, watched the scene quietly, a gratified smile on his face. He was truly happy for their reunion and thankful to be by their side during this special moment.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, all the pain and anxiety gradually dissipated, leaving only full happiness and gratitude.
