Chapter 329: Crazy Horse
When encountering trouble, do not rush, do not panic.
First, take a photo and post it to Moments.
Once posted, you will anxiously wait for likes.
Of course, Mianmian did not have a phone.
She had not played with one for a long time.
She did not seem to miss it either.
She had gotten used to it.
However, looking at the panicked Princess Grandma, Mianmian could only soothe her first.
She still remembered the first time she saw Princess Grandma; that carefree, self-destructive vibe was actually quite dashing.
Now, she was full of anxiety and fear of loss.
Sure enough, this was what Father said: do not get emotionally attached.
It makes you stupid and makes you lose yourself.
This Earthquake was relatively mild.
It was like thunder in winter, or like the Earth God taking a nap.
But Princess Huiyun felt palpitating, somewhat at a loss.
Mianmian had no choice and decided to take Princess Grandma home.
The Princesss Mansion was too big and lacked a sense of security.
It was better to go home.
It felt like no matter how big the problem was outside, once she saw Father and Mother, everything would be fine.
In the carriage.
Princess Huiyun saw that not only was Cong Geer calm, but Mianmian was also very calm.
Cong Geer had a special background and had experienced too much, so being unflappable was normal.
Plus, most people in the royal family were poker-faced, which might be hereditary.
However, Princess Huiyun felt that Mianmian should be a delicate and fussy little girl, yet she was also very calm.
She held the little one, her own heart beating wildly, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably while holding her, but the little one was very calm. She couldn’t help asking: “Aren’t you afraid?”
Mianmian thought for a moment and said: “I’m afraid. Grandma, you know if a horse is targeted by a botfly, it will frantically use its tail to swat the botfly, but it can never hit it, so it becomes very irritable, keeps jumping, and in severe cases, it goes crazy and exhausts itself to death.”
Princess Huiyun:… She had never raised horses.
Sob, her baby actually wanted to raise horses.
“Botflies suck blood and are very annoying, but they aren’t fatal. In reality, they only suck a little bit of blood, maybe at most one-twentieth.” Mianmian stretched out her finger to indicate just a tiny bit.
“But it’s annoying, painful, uncomfortable, and disrupts your thoughts. It makes the horse irritable, manic, and eventually, it goes crazy and torments itself to death, while the cunning botfly might just fly onto another horse.” Mianmian ate a piece of dried fruit handed to her by Cong Geer and continued.
“An Earthquake, or other life sufferings, or hardships and difficulties we encounter, will all make us annoyed, or cause pain, or injury, or discomfort. But if you look at it truly, none of it is fatal. Yet sometimes, because of just a tiny little thing, we can’t let it go, we keep torturing ourselves, forcing ourselves to go crazy, making ourselves impulsive, like a crazy horse, bumping into other horses, bumping into cliffs, bleeding until our lives end, while the culprit has long since disappeared.”
Mianmian finished the dried fruit. It was a bit sticky, and she wanted to pick it out with her hand. That wasn’t hygienic; she should invent floss.
Dental health should be taken seriously.
After saying all this, she went back to rummaging for snacks to eat.
When things get sticky, besides using floss or picking with your fingers, there is another way: eat another piece of new dried fruit to call out the sticky piece.
Just keep eating and it will be fine.
Princess Huiyun and Cong Geer both fell silent.
Princess Huiyun felt inexplicably that her own granddaughter was teaching her how to live again.
The proud and pampered Elder Princess Huiyun felt her face burning slightly.
What was this little one saying? Why did it feel so reasonable? o(╥﹏╥)o.
Cong Geer was deep in thought, and he picked another dried fruit that Mianmian liked.
He knew she liked it a bit sour and sweet, not just purely sweet.
Mianmian successfully used the new dried fruit to lure out the piece of fruit pulp that was sticking to her teeth.
Then it stuck to another tooth.
At this time, there was a new clever trick.
You could eat some salty snacks to neutralize it, like beef jerky or spicy strips.
Teeth also need to be used and exercised to be healthier; if you leave them unused, they will soon loosen and develop many new problems.
Mianmian continued to eat salty snacks.
Princess Huiyun was still in the shock of being educated.
Her life had almost no setbacks; the only time was because of unrequited love, not being with the person she loved, but in reality, this was also very common.
In this world, who can just happen to marry the one they love?
Others were all working hard to live their lives well, but she, because of one dissatisfaction, used that dissatisfaction to punish herself forever.
All these years she had been muddled, achieved nothing, tried hard to court death, and kept going against herself, just like that crazy horse.
Today she was inexplicably educated again.
Princess Huiyun looked at the little one in front of her with complex eyes and couldn’t help asking: “How do you know so much?”
Mianmian laughed and said: “Father gave me a horse farm. That horse farm is very big, and the horses are very beautiful. Sometimes I just stare at the horses under the blue sky and green grass for a whole day. When you have time, Grandma, I’ll take you to play. Grandma, we can travel the world together, and we can form a group called the ‘Black Whirlwind Grandma and Her Super Invincible Cute Mianmian Punch Granddaughter Group’.”
Princess Huiyun: Cough cough cough.
Cong Geer:…
Princess Huiyun felt that if she took her granddaughter to travel the world, she might be wanted by her son on the spot.
Daughter-in-law’s strength…
“Don’t talk nonsense, are you trying to get a beating from your Mother again?”
Mianmian smiled ingratiatingly.
“I’m just telling Grandma. Don’t worry, I won’t tell Father and Mother that you want to take me to travel the world.”
Princess Huiyun:… I didn’t, I don’t have that.
I don’t know why, but thinking of her son’s gaze and her daughter-in-law’s strength, Princess Huiyun felt a bit cowardly.
She only wanted to challenge her own weaknesses, not her lifespan.
“Grandma, look, we experienced an Earthquake today and survived by luck. Don’t you feel like we’ve escaped death and have good fortune? Next time you are unhappy, think about today. The days ahead are all free, all gifted by Heaven. Won’t you be a little happier?”
Mianmian said.
She was very happy here, and she cherished it very much, because every day she lived was perhaps a gift from Heaven.
