Once we got over Qili Slope, Dahei Mountain lay ahead.
Along the way, we encountered many children from our village. Without adults to accompany them, they could only gaze longingly as the Wang family members set off into Dahei Mountain.
Entering Dahei Mountain, Wang Yongping took the lead, guiding us with a lordly air, pointing out various spots to his nephews and nieces.
He indicated where you could find certain things, where he had previously hunted game, and where there was water.
The little ones listened with bewildered expressions.
They all clung to Wang Yongping, urging him to take them around for a spin.
Jinhoo couldn't have wished for more help in looking after this bunch of brothers and sisters, freeing him up to focus on hunting for Yellow Pine Mushrooms. He chimed in to persuade Wang Yongping, eventually coaxing him into playing the role of the child king.
