Baby Zetty could not stand Gale's coaxing and pestering, so she ultimately agreed to him. "Okay, fine."
After crossing the river, there were dense forests and rugged mountain roads in front of them.
Baby Zetty smacked her forehead, saying, "Isn't this going to kill me? Can my old bones withstand these mountain roads?”
Gale walked to her and squatted down while saying, " Let me carry you on my back."
Baby Zetty replied, "You’re just a child yourself. Forget it. I'll walk on my own."
Then, on the rugged mountain road, one could see the odd view of an older woman in her 80s climbing up a steep mountain road.
Gale could not help but chuckle out loud. At the end of the day, she was still a 17-year-old girl living in this shell. That was the reason she could stay so unaffected, right?
"I'm hungry, Gale." Baby Zetty panted heavily while sitting on one of the stepping stones. She looked at the dense forest and sniffed the fragrance of the greenery. When she was more relaxed, she truly realized how hungry she was.
Gale replied, "Wait over here. I'll get you some food.”
Then, Gale picked up some small rocks and took out a bow from his arms. He shot down two birds at once.
Baby Zetty was shocked by his superb shooting skills. "Woah, Gale! You’re amazing."
Gale smiled at her bashfully and said, "I'll roast them for you."
Gale's wilderness skills were genuinely outstanding. H e was able to drill wood to make fire, and it was as if h e was entirely in his element.
After the bonfire was set up, the flames were shining o n Gale's handsome face. Baby Zetty watched as Gale roasted the bird meat skillfully. She was brimming with envy as she said, "Why do you seem to know everything, Gale?"
Gale asked her in return, "I'm the one who’s supposed t o ask why you don't seem to know anything? When you live on the mountains, these skills are the most basic life skills one should have."
Gale handed the roasted meat over to Baby Zetty, but she had no idea how to start digging in when she took it.
Gale tore it apart for her, and Baby Zetty seemed excited to see the tender meat inside.
