Chapter 1087: Chapter 1088: Her Nickna
Gong Xinhe suddenly slapped his forehead.
“Now that you ntion it, I do rember,” Officer let out.
He had heard it too at that ti.
However, he had thought the Officer was just chatting leisurely with his comrade from the Sentinel Post, given the sparsity of human presence in the area, as the team mbers hardly got a chance to et other people and might have wanted to talk more when soone did show up.
Thus, he hadn’t listened closely at the ti, nor had he taken the conversation seriously.
He hadn’t expected it all to be useful.
Gong Xinhe bowed his head in embarrassnt.
He had made a big mistake.
“You are very smart. What’s your na?” Yiwa stared at ng Xinian.
ng Xinian’s lips curved into a smirk, “Moreover, your Chinese is not bad, but your accent is too strong. As for my na, you don’t need to know it. Now it’s my turn to ask you. Is she really your cousin?”
ng Xinian glanced at Kitten.
Kitten imdiately yelled out, “No! I don’t know her! I am from the village across the hill, my na is Jin Xiaomiao!”
“Not Kitten?” ng Xinian’s eyes flashed.
“Kitten… is my nickna,” Jin Xiaomiao’s face heated slightly.
For so reason, when he uttered the word ‘Kitten’, she could sense a distinct softening in his tone; a nickna she usually didn’t like, as when others ntioned it, there often seed to be a hint of frivolity or jest, likely because she indeed resembled a little cat.
But when this young Officer called it out, there was a slight, warm affection in his voice.
Jin Xiaomiao had never found her nickna to sound so pleasant.
Yet, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a sudden shift in the Officer’s deanor becoming cold and stern.
“Tell , how did you end up with her?”
ng Xinian stopped looking at the two of them and could not help but touch the pendant again.
Why did he dislike it when soone’s nickna was the sa as his family’s Kitten?
Kitty Chiang: My nickna is Little! Little! Not Kitten!
Officer ng: Kitten is suitable for you; I chose it, and it suits you better than Little.
Kitty Chiang: …
Chiang Xiao had dug up a whole bunch of little hemp straw, just enough to fill her carry-basket. She was about to descend the mountain when she raised her head and saw another peak ahead, sheer cliffs stretching across.
Suddenly, a thought struck her.
So dicinal herbs grow on sheer cliffs.
She hadn’t explored the cliffs of Bai Gu Mountain much, but it was rather unsafe.
The cliff in front of her, however, seed climbable.
Since she was here and there was still ti, it seed a waste to just return.
Thinking so, she made up her mind.
Without further hesitation, Chiang Xiao imdiately ran forward and began to climb, using both hands and feet.
The cliff had scattered stones, with soil between them; so spots were just enough for a foot, while others ford a narrow path.
It seed dangerous from below, but with her current skill, climbing up wasn’t too challenging.
While climbing, she even detoured around a bend.
There was a sowhat flat area where Chiang Xiao sat down to rest, then noticed several small clusters of plants nearby—stem segnts cylindrical, with leaves growing oppositely in pairs, nothing special at first glance yet sohow familiar.
Not knowing what they were exactly, but figuring since she was there she might as well dig them up, she dug up the few clusters. After thinking it over, she threw one into the Space and only then did she pack the rest into her carry-basket.
She had intended to climb higher, but then soone below cried out to her.
“Young lady! Co down quickly! How did you climb up there?”
“Hurry down, this mountain is too high and steep, it’s dangerous.”
