Me at two years old, a queen!

Chapter 268 Crossroads

"Auntie...you're so easy to fool! I'm not so easy to fool at all~"

An'an looked at Ni Hao earnestly and instructed, "My dad said we can't just listen to everything others say, or we'll get tricked and killed, and then Dad won't be able to see us anymore!"

Ni Hao said sheepishly, "Haha~, yes, yes, yes! I shouldn't have trusted others so easily. I didn't expect that someone as taciturn as President Lu would be so good at educating children~"

Su Shao applied the ointment to Yangyang again and couldn't help but remind her, "We should leave now, so that Brother Cheng and the others don't have to go through the trouble of coming back to pick us up!"

Xu Tinglan nodded and organized the children to walk in a line. Shen Yu walked in front, reminding his younger siblings to watch their step from time to time.

Ni Hao knew that Ji Jianshu never needed her care, and to avoid awkwardness, she led the way. The "foreign child" was naturally very curious about entering the mountains.

An'an, Duo Duo, and the others walked and looked around, chattering away, when suddenly the road ahead stopped.

An'an was busy looking around when she heard the noise and a little squirrel, startled, scurried away and bumped into Ji Jianshu, who had stopped in front of it: "Ouch~"

Ji Jianshu looked bigger, but he didn't have An'an's weight advantage. When An'an bumped into him, Ji Jianshu, to regain his balance, lunged towards Shen Yu in front of him, thus breaking the stone markings that had been disturbed by the animal.

After Shen Yu knocked him to the ground and fiddled with it, the simple markings became even less discernible.

Already panicked, Ni Hao screamed, "What...what are you doing! Now look what's happened! There are no road markings anymore, which way are we supposed to go?"

Seeing the mess of pebbles on the ground, Shen Yu and Ji Jianshu realized they had caused trouble and apologized one after another. An'an pulled her brother Xiaoshu to apologize as well, and seeing that both brothers had their heads down...

She belatedly realized she had done something wrong, and, at a loss, clutched the hem of her clothes, saying, "I'm sorry~, I was wrong~, I'm sorry~"

Su Shao put Yangyang down, looked at the fork in the road in front of him, and suppressed his inner frustration: "There's no other way. Why don't you wait here, and I'll choose a road and see if there are any road signs ahead!"

Ni Hao thought that if Su Shao left, it would be just her and Xu Tinglan taking care of six children, so she immediately said, "How can that be? What if something happens to you if you go alone?"

Seeing that An'an was apologizing to everyone but no one was paying attention, Xu Tinglan quickly picked her up and patted her back, worried that she might frighten the child: "It's okay~, An'an, that road sign was already broken!"

Ni Hao: "What do you mean it was already broken? When I squatted down to look closely just now, I could still tell which way the arrow was pointing. Now that it's been done like this, I can't see it at all!"

An'an nestled in Xu Tinglan's arms and couldn't help but cry: "Waaah~, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry~, I'm sorry~, Désolé (French: sorry), waaah~,"

Duoduo stood beside her mother, holding An'an's little hand tightly. Ji Jianshu took out tissues to wipe An'an's tears, while Yangyang was already hugging Su Shao's leg, wanting a hug.

Shen Yu realized he had made a mistake: "I'm sorry! I didn't see it and shouldn't have messed up the road signs!"

Seeing the child's sensible tears, Xu Tinglan sighed, "It's alright. The road signs were already messed up. Even if we figure out the exact direction, we'll consider safety and won't choose to go there easily!"

"An'an, Xiao Shu, and Shen Yu, you are all good kids. This is just a small matter! We must believe that there will be a good solution!"

Ni Hao noticed the camera and seemed to realize what was happening, but seeing how Xu Tinglan had embarrassed her, she didn't say anything more, only saying:

"What other options do we have? What can we do when we're all left?"
