The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 39)

Song Ning didn't take Liang Anlin's words to heart at all. In his opinion, Liang Anlin only saw him now, but had no idea about his past.

Otherwise, Liang Anlin wouldn't have said that he was a person with great fortune.

However, this did not affect Song Ning's eventual agreement to cooperate with Liang Anlin. After they agreed on the location and time for their meeting, Liang Anlin quickly left with a large group of people.

Song Ning didn't stay there for long either. While the warmth from that glass of wine was still there, he left.

The discussion about cooperation with Liang Anlin took up a lot of time, and when Song Ning wanted to go for a stroll again, she found that many stalls had already finished their transactions and packed up and left.

He even regretfully discovered that one of the stalls sold both bean sprouts and mushrooms, which were clearly grown by themselves, but because he arrived too late, they had already sold out.

"Looks like I'll have to come earlier next time and explore a bit more."

Song Ning confided in the big cat, a hint of regret in her voice, and secretly slipped her fingers into the cat's fur to keep warm.

"We were originally planning to discuss the stroller rental business, but now that's fine, let's just skip it and head back, Leopard."

The black panther nuzzled his hand with its muzzle, the warm breath bringing a touch of warmth to Song Ning's nearly frozen fingers. A tail gently patted Song Ning's calf as if to say, "I'll do whatever you say."

Before leaving, Song Ning went to Sister Man to exchange some cornbread, because she didn't have enough supplies. She agreed that she could bring some to Sister Man when she went underground.

Sister Man generously said, "I think you're preparing for the future, right? You can exchange as many as you want. Just don't forget your sister if you find anything good later."

She shared similar thoughts with Liang Anlin. Someone as lucky as Song Ning, who also had a black panther by her side, couldn't be too unlucky. She was willing to take a little extra cornbread.

Song Ning set off back with the stroller and the big cat. Before leaving the base, Man Jie saw the lunchbox in his arms and asked curiously what it was for. After learning about Song Ning's little trick for keeping warm, she couldn't help but praise him.

"That's a great idea! How come I didn't think of that? Wow, that's really clever. I need to learn from you."

In return, she replaced the coal in Song Ning's lunchbox with a new one, and the lunchbox became warm again.

Sister Man saw the outer layer wrapped in rabbit skin and kindly reminded Song Ning.

"There's a woman named Jin in District F who specializes in sewing. You can take this leather to her and have her work done for you. But there's a long queue, so the processing time might be a bit long, but her prices are quite reasonable."

Song Ning made a note of it, planning to visit Sister Jin as soon as she came back, and also to see if she had any other furs or fabrics suitable for making clothing.

As a token of his gratitude, he gave Sister Man a piece of cowhide he had brought earlier. Sister Man was clearly surprised to receive it, and then laughed even more heartily.

As I walked back from the base, the warmth I carried in my arms dispelled much of the chill. The snow on the road had clearly been cleared by those who had left before, making the journey quite smooth.

When they finally saw their home, Song Ning couldn't hide her smile. "We're home, Brother Leopard! We're finally home!"

Black Panther, who had been walking beside him, suddenly rushed forward a few steps upon hearing his words, then stopped beside the house and turned to look at him, as if responding to Song Ning's words, as if saying, 'Welcome home.'

Upon returning home, the first thing Song Ning did was to light a fire to heat the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and get some hot water to soak his feet. The warm feeling quickly warmed his somewhat frozen body.

After soaking his feet and heating up a cornbread to eat with some meat, Song Ning changed his coat, breathed a sigh of relief, and began to summarize what he had changed for the day.

The first thing, of course, is the qualification to enter that collapsed underground area. Liang Anlin provided a lot of detailed information, such as that the base has confirmed that the risk inside is not high, and that the overall situation is currently stable and unlikely to experience a secondary collapse.

However, it's still uncertain what specific supplies they can find, so Song Ning will put that aside for now.

Then there was the flashlight he got in return, which Song Ning was really interested in. It just so happened that he would be going to work in the fields later, and this would come in handy then.

The flashlight was placed together with the remaining piece of leather. Song Ning picked it up and examined it closely. From the outside, the flashlight actually looked quite new, with only some minor scratches.

He first tried the hand-crank charging function, which was actually better than he expected; it wasn't the kind that would only light up for five minutes after five hours of charging.

It even has the ability to generate electricity for five hours after charging for five minutes, although the brightness will obviously be greatly reduced afterward. But overall, it is already amazing, especially since it can still work normally in this temperature. Song Ning even thinks this flashlight is very useful.

If it weren't for the fact that there's been almost no sunshine lately, he would really like to try and see how long the light lasts after each day's sunshine.

After playing with the flashlight for a while, Song Ning finally put it down. Only then did he realize that the big cat had left sometime earlier.

"Weren't you just here a moment ago?"

Song Ning hesitated for a moment before roughly guessing that the big cat had followed her out early this morning and was probably out patrolling its territory.

He glanced outside, a little worried, and was about to go out when he saw the big cat come in from outside.

Song Ning paused for a moment, put on her shoes, and climbed out of bed.

"Brother Leopard, you went out just now? Why are you back so soon? Is something wrong outside?"

Just as he was about to get down, the big cat came over and nudged him back down.

Song Ning, puzzled, lay obediently on top, wondering, "Could I have guessed wrong?"

Black Panther wiped his paws on the ground, then leaped onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and lay down beside him.

Song Ning turned his head and met the big cat's vertical pupils. He couldn't help but lean closer to look for a while, feeling a mix of surprise and delight. "Brother Leopard, your eyes look blue?"

Song Ning had never looked into the big cat's eyes this closely before, and now she realized that the big cat's eyes were as beautiful and dazzling as the night sky.

He couldn't help but lower his head and move closer, his eyes filled with a kind of infatuation with beauty, until a plum blossom-shaped cushion was pressed directly against his cheek, blocking his approach.

Song Ning murmured unconsciously, "Brother Leopard?"

Black Panther looked into his eyes, withdrew its paws, and suddenly leaped off the kang (a heated brick bed). Song Ning came to his senses: "Brother Panther, where are you going?"

The lithe figure flicked its tail, let out a soft growl as if in response, and quickly slipped out of the curtain and disappeared into the icy snow.
