The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160: Chapter 983, Strange Rocks, Salt Lakes

After Daohua and Daozi collected a pile of firewood, the sun had set, leaving behind only a glowing red twilight in the sky.

The temperature had begun to drop, Daohua lit the bonfire, and then sat in front of it holding Daozi, enjoying the sunset scenery of the Gobi Desert.

Curled up in Daohua’s arms, Daozi nibbled on pastries and chatted away without a hint of panic or fear about being stranded in the Gobi.

Daohua’s calm and relaxed demeanor provided Daozi with a great sense of security.

He knew that as long as his mother was there, she would definitely protect him.

"Mom, cold!"

As the sky darkened and the temperature dropped further, hearing her son complain of cold, Daohua took him into the tent and tucked him into a warm woolen blanket.

Daozi, still young, had no awareness of how they could have brought so much with them after escaping Wuhu Village.

"Stay put, Mom will go make you some milk tea."

Daozi obediently nodded his head. Daohua did not close the tent flap so he could see everything outside and not be afraid.

Daohua fashioned a tripod from long branches, secured it over the fire, and hung a clay pot above to start brewing milk tea.

In the meantime, worried about the strong winds at night, she found some large stones and weighted down the edges of the tent with them.

After that, Daohua thought a bit and took some herbs from the space to make an animal repellent, spreading it around the boulders.

While doing all this, Daohua explained to Daozi why she was doing it.

Later, Daohua fed Dog Xiaoyi and the camels some water and food, then brought the prepared milk tea into the tent.

"Mom, how come we still have milk tea to drink?"

Daozi noticed something was off.

Daohua calmly said, "The camels Mom led away had a lot of things on them, including milk tea."

Relieved by the explanation, Daozi bowed his head and slowly sipped the warm milk tea.

Seeing her son stop asking questions, Daohua chuckled and also enjoyed a bowl of milk tea.

By this time, the sky was entirely dark, silent all around, with only the sound of the burning firewood.

Daohua noticed the brilliant stars overhead and moved the woolen blanket towards the tent opening. She lay down next to Daozi and pointed to the sky, saying, "Daozi, do you see the stars in the sky?"

Nestled in Daohua’s arms, Daozi nodded his head, "Mom, there are so many stars."

Seeing that he was still alert, Daohua began to tell him various stories related to the stars, the tale of Chang’e flying to the moon, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd...

During the stories, Daohua spotted the Big Dipper and immediately started teaching Daozi how to use it to find directions.

"Daozi, see those seven brightest stars in the sky? Do they look like a spoon if you connect them with a line?"

"If you extend the line from the handle of the spoon five times its length, do you see a bright star? The direction where that star is, that’s the north."

Daozi listened, a bit confused. Daohua knew it was a difficult concept for her four-year-old son and did not insist on him remembering, simply wanting him to have an impression.

After discussing the Big Dipper, Daozi began to yawn frequently. Daohua moved the blanket back inside the tent and, after adding more firewood to the fire, closed the tent flap.

A night passed safely.

Watching the sun slowly rise on the eastern horizon, Daohua pondered.

Xiao Yeyang would definitely come back for them, but she wasn’t sure how long it would take. Although there was food in the space, it would be hard to explain if they waited too long.

Hesitating for a moment, Daohua decided not to wait in place. Having observed the Big Dipper the night before, she knew the direction of north. With Wuhu Village located northeast of Xiliang, leading her son in that direction should enable them to meet Xiao Yeyang sooner.
