Walking up the mountain with a small path that seemed to be made by some people to walk on, the little girls stared at the surrounding with their eyes filled with joy and wonder.
"Papa, that bird is so big, it is as big as Qiqi!"
Little Qiqi gasped as she pointed her finger at the Ibis that was seemingly munching on its morning breakfast that it had caught from the nearby river or lake.
"Yes, its beak is so long."
Xiao Ya nodded with a dumbfounded look.
Meanwhile, Little Jia watched around in amazement.
The little girl was fond of nature and had always been watching documentaries related to nature and wildlife when she would be alone at home and this was the first time that she was seeing so many birds and small animals which she found looked very cute and fascinating.
"SSIIII"
Just as they were about to ask another question, the girls heard the sound of something crawling under the dries leaves.
The little girls were frightened as they clutched Ye Qian quickly while staring at the source of the sound that was not more than 3 metres away from them.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian was also vigilant all this time since he didn't want them to get hurt on this small adventure trip.
Ye Qian smiled obviously knowing what it was but didn't tell the girls.
After waiting for more than a few seconds, the girls were even more frightened noticing that the sound seemed to be stopping and coming in many intervals.
After what looked like a long time for them, something seemed to have crawled on top of the small-sized rock while tilting its head.
The little girls were shocked with their heads close to Ye Qian and pouted seeing that they were made a fool.
"Humph, you cutie mongoose, you made Qiqi so afraid just now."
Little Qiqi complained with a pout as she pointed her finger at the mongoose.
Of course, the mongoose didn't understand a thing of what this human infant was saying.
But its instinct told it that these people didn't have any kind of malice and in fact gave a shooting feeling and that was also why it came here.
It was more than a hundred metres away from its current position lying in its nest when the little mongoose felt that there seemed to be something that had entered the forest and was very good for it.
Of course, it was the small amount of Spiritual Qi that lingered around the little girls which made the animals feel some kind of relaxing feeling as they went toward them.
While the little girls didn't know of this, but Ye Qian was well aware that Spiritual Qi would give any animal a sense of security and familiarity since the Spiritual Qi came from nature itself.
The mongoose tilted its head in confusion, not knowing why this BIG HUMAN CHILD was pointing its hand at it.
But then sensing some Spiritual Qi converge at the tip of Little Qiqi, the mongoose quickly held onto Little Qiqi's finger.
The little girl was almost frightened as she screamed.
"Ahhhh, Papa it's biting Qiqi now, ahu ahu, I will complain about you to Mumma and Grandma, ahu ahu."
Little Qiqi cried while calling for her Papa, only to see her Papa and her Big Sister and Xiao Ya were giggling while looking at her.
But then the little girl felt that the mongoose didn't bite her finger but in fact, she felt ticklish as it did something to her finger.
Little Qiqi looked around only to see that the mongoose had poked its tongue out of its mouth and was licking the tip of her finger.
"Hehe, hehe, stop, it tickles."
Seeing that it was not going to bite her and in fact was licking her finger, Little Qiqi giggled but didn't pull her finger back.
"CHI CHI CHI"
The mongoose let go of her finger after a moment as it stared at Little Qiqi with gratitude.
"Huh, why do you thank Qiqi, Qiqi didn't help at all?"
Little Qiqi muttered.
But the mongoose turned around and dashed back to where it came from.
The little girl stared at the rock for a moment and then turned around.
"Papa, where did it go?"
The little girl asked feeling a bit sad.
Although she didn't meet the mongoose for a long time, the little girl felt that it was quite cute and wanted to play with it for some more time.
"Butterfly, just like how you, your Big Sister and Xiao Ya come to me after missing me, similarly it should have also missed someone and so went away."
Ye Qian answered in simple words.
He knew that this was the only way that the little girl would not feel bad.
"Ohh, then did the little mongoose go back to its house?"
Little Qiqi asked as she spotted Ye Qian and they started to continue their journey.
"Hmm, it should be on its way."
Ye Qian nodded.
From the moment, the mongoose had appeared, Ye Qian knew that it had come here in search of some food, although it had not gotten anything to eat, but the Spiritual Qi that it had gotten from Little Qiqi was a lot more powerful and would strengthen it a lot.
With that, the group started to walk up the mountain.
As they went on the animals and birds started to appear more frequent and more colourful.
By now, the little girls had seen more than two hundred birds and various kinds of small animals like monkeys, raccoons, hamsters, rabbits, squirrels, and ducks that were close to small ponds that were present due to the occasional rainfall in this region.
There were also a few porcupines that the girls found very pretty, but were too afraid to touch seeing the spikes covering their backs.
Of course, seeing the girls in awe and joy, Ye Qian felt good.
He had promised that he would get them on a small trip.
Although this was now the way he had thought it would have been, but Ye Qian knew that this was still better in some way than the garden in the crowded cities.
