After listening to Uncle Yan Wenyan's explanation, the little girl added another sentence.
"My grandpa heard you were looking for a cat that can swim. He said that he saw one when he was young and could take you to try your luck."
Upon hearing the little girl's words, Chen Ying and his group immediately decided that they must attend this engagement party, no matter what.
After confirming with the two kids that they would attend, they parted ways here. The siblings took a boat back, while they walked along the edge of the mangrove forest towards the village with backpacks.
Yunyun stayed to accompany them and could also help guide the way.
After passing this section, Uncle Yan Wenyan needed to return too. The road ahead belonged to another section leader's area.
But once they bypassed this area, they could retrace their steps along the abandoned rubber forest from the fork, following the forest path directly to the siblings' village.
