Tuantuan hopped and skipped along the way, as happy as a rabbit. The path up the mountain was difficult, but Tuantuan didn't feel tired. She walked and ran, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Afraid that he would catch a cold from sweating and being exposed to the wind, Nie Qianqian picked him up and nestled him in her arms, his little legs swinging and kicking happily.

Winter is just around the corner, and the leaves in the mountains have long since fallen, leaving only bare branches. Most of the plants that originally grew on the mountains have withered and died. If Tuantuan were a little older, she would know that there's nowhere to find mushrooms in the mountains at this time of year.

Not long after Tuantuan entered the mountains, she excitedly said, "Little Pine is here to find me, Mommy, let's wait for him here."

Nie Qianqian nodded, her expression unchanged, but inwardly she was astonished by Tuantuan's talent. How did he manage to let Xiaosongsong know that he had come to the mountains?

A moment later, a brown squirrel nimbly scurried down from a tree, stood up in front of Tuantuan, raised its two little paws and rubbed them together, its fluffy tail swaying behind it, expressing its inner joy.

Tuantuan crouched down and reached out to touch the squirrel's tail. "Little squirrel, have you missed me?"

The little squirrel's bright black eyes darted around, and it nodded, full of intelligence.

Nie Qianqian seemed to have never seen such a clever little squirrel before, and she was very fond of it. She took out a bag of pine nuts and handed it to the squirrel, saying, "Little squirrel, this is a gift from Tuantuan to you."

Little Songsong looked at Nie Qianqian, scratched his head with his little paws, as if trying to remember who Nie Qianqian was. Then, as if he remembered, he blinked, rubbed his hands, and deftly took out a pine nut from Nie Qianqian's bag. He put it in his mouth, moved his little mouth quickly, and swallowed the pine nut.

Tuantuan didn't forget the important matter. "Little Songsong, Mommy and I are here to pick mushrooms, and we need your help. Can you take us to the valley where we picked mushrooms last time?"

Xiao Songsong nodded without hesitation, took out a pine nut from the bag and threw it into his mouth. He turned around and darted out. After running a few steps, he looked back at Tuantuan and Nie Qianqian, his eyes still fixed on the bag in Nie Qianqian's hand.

Nie Qianqian chuckled, "I've got some food for you, let's go."

The two people and the mouse darted through the forest, sometimes up and sometimes down. Nie Qianqian, who had no sense of direction, got lost again and followed closely behind Xiao Songsong.

After an unknown amount of time, Nie Qianqian finally saw the mountain hollow she had visited before. A thin mist still shrouded the hollow. Perhaps due to the terrain, the temperature here was much higher than in the surrounding forests. There were still quite a few plants alive in the hollow, and Nie Qianqian could indeed see quite a few mushrooms at a glance.

Tuantuan clapped her hands happily, ran to a mushroom, pulled it out, and handed it to Nie Qianqian like a treasure, saying, "Mommy, mushroom, mushroom."

Nie Qianqian picked up Tuantuan, kissed him on the cheek, and spun him around. "Tuantuan is so great!"

Tuantuan burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the mountain valley.

Tuantuan: Mommy kissed me! Mommy kissed me!

Tuantuan and Xiaosongsong were playing in the mountain valley. Nie Qianqian didn't leave empty-handed; she picked mushrooms and also found a lot of herbs. Unfortunately, after searching carefully, she couldn't find any more Ganoderma lucidum.

Tuantuan: "Mother! Mother!"

Not far away, Tuantuan's exclamation suddenly came, and Nie Qianqian hurriedly ran to find Tuantuan.

Deep in the mountain valley, behind a patch of bushes, there is a small cave, and the rustling sounds are coming from inside the cave.

Nie Qianqian bent down and entered the cave. The cave was dimly lit, making it difficult to see clearly, but the temperature was much warmer than outside.

Tuantuan pointed ahead and excitedly called out to Nie Qianqian, "Mommy, little white kitten!"

The spot Tuan Tuan was pointing to was covered with a layer of dry grass, on which lay two fluffy white kittens. The kittens had snow-white fur with faint brown stripes that were barely visible unless you looked closely. The two little ones must have been born recently, as their eyes had just opened and were bright, round, sky-blue.

Hearing Tuantuan's voice, the two little ones rubbed against the source of the sound, their two little heads bumping together, looking adorably innocent.

The two white kittens looked almost identical, the only difference being that one kitten was larger, had longer whiskers, and darker brown stripes, while the other was smaller and had lighter stripes.

Tuantuan had never seen such beautiful and cute little animals before. She was mesmerized and stared at the two without blinking.

Tuan Tuan asked in a childish voice, "Little white kittens, where are your parents?"

The little white kitten meowed twice, and Tuantuan turned to Nie Qianqian and said, "The little white kitten told me that they have never seen their parents. They opened their eyes in this cave."

Tuantuan is a very loving baby. She reached out and affectionately stroked the heads of the two little white kittens. "You two are so pitiful. You don't have a daddy and mommy to take care of you. Are you hungry?"

The two little white kittens meowed twice more.

Tuantuan looked at Nie Qianqian expectantly, "Mother, they are hungry. Do you have any food for them?"

His mother always had delicious food available, so he would never go hungry or be disappointed.

Nie Qianqian nodded, took out milk from her space, poured it into two small bowls, and pushed them in front of the two little white cats. The two little white cats sniffed at it first, then lowered their heads and stuck out their tongues to drink, looking very well-behaved and cute.

After finishing eating, Tuantuan reached out her hand, and the two little white cats gratefully placed their faces on Tuantuan's little hand, rubbing against it affectionately. Their whiskers tickled Tuantuan, making her giggle.

Tuantuan adored the two little white kittens, and they soon became friends. The two kittens rolled around on Tuantuan without any shyness.

Tuantuan twirled her fingers, looked up with a hopeful expression, and slowly said, "Mother, can I...?"

"Could we take the two little white kittens home and raise them?"

Nie Qianqian stared at the dry grass spread on the ground. This dry grass should not have originally been in the cave. It seemed that someone had taken it from somewhere else and spread it out. Could it be that these two little white cats have an owner?

Nie Qianqian carefully examined the cave, but there seemed to be no trace of anyone else living there.

Nie Qianqian said gently, "Tuantuan, ask if these two little white cats already have an owner?"

After hearing this, Tuantuan hurriedly asked if the two little white kittens had an owner. The two kittens meowed a few times, and Tuantuan grinned when she heard this. "Mommy, they said they've never recognized an owner. They want to leave with me and are willing to follow me and acknowledge me as their master!"

Seeing how much Tuantuan liked it, Nie Qianqian couldn't bear to refuse him. Since the two little white cats were ownerless and willing to follow Tuantuan, then let them follow.

Nie Qianqian nodded in agreement, and Tuantuan was overjoyed, sweetly exclaiming, "Thank you, Mommy~~~ Thank you, Mommy~~~ Mommy is the best mommy in the world~~~"
