The Lunar New Year is just two days away, and the entire village is on holiday. Right now, all they do is eat and play. Of course, everyone except the kitchen staff is finding their own fun.

Mo Lan wandered around the mountain stronghold, her hands almost overflowing with things.

"Boss, look at the atmosphere in our village. It's full of laughter and joy. It's so wonderful."

"It's all thanks to our leader's unparalleled bravery and remarkable strength; otherwise, we wouldn't be living such a good life," Song Jian said with a grin, following beside Mo Lan.

"You two bootlickers, all you do is pester the boss." Xiong Da twisted his waist and stuck out his butt, pushing the man aside. Then he chuckled and leaned closer to the boss. "It's snowing. There must be a lot of rabbits on the back mountain. Why don't we go catch some and roast them?"

"Big brother is right. Rabbits are easiest to catch at this time of year. Just follow the footprints."

Mo Lan glanced at Da Peng and Song Jian behind her, and seeing their resentful looks, she immediately laughed. Then she stuffed the food she was holding into Xiong Da's hands.

"That's a good suggestion, let's roast a rabbit."

"Alright." Xiong Da said, giving Song Jian behind him a smug smile, his eyes brimming with pride.

Song Jian rolled his eyes at him, thinking, "You little brat, you need to be taught a lesson."

Mo Lan looked at the four people beside her. They were the first batch of talents she trained. After several years of training, each of them could stand on their own. She didn't expect that when they got together, they would still be like when they were children, bickering and arguing.

Knowing that they were catching rabbits in the back hill, a large group of children came running over, chattering incessantly around her with questions.

Of course, Tingyu was also among them. Although he was afraid of the cold, he wore a thick cloak and wrapped himself up like a bear, excitedly following along.

"There are many people, so spread out and search. Be careful not to fall." Mo Lan looked at the huge group, her eyes crinkling. These were the future hopes of the mountain stronghold.

"Yes, boss."

Many boys saluted, clearly having learned it from Xiong Da and his friends. The girls, on the other hand, were much more shy, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Mo Lan.

Watching the children run off happily, Mo Lan couldn't help but sigh, "The Lunar New Year is the happiest time for children. They have new clothes to wear, delicious snacks, and lucky money."

"That's only if life is good. If you protect the village well, there's no shortage of food and drink, and the children have the means to be happy."

Standing beside Mo Lan, Ting Yu looked at the carefree children and sighed with no less emotion than Mo Lan, "I heard that there have been constant wars and taxes in various places this year, and the people are having a hard time. Many people are hungry, and the children can't smile if they don't have enough to eat."

Mo Lan turned to look at Ting Yu, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. "I didn't expect you to care about these things?"

"What do you mean? Why can't I care about these things?" If he had known this woman would be so harsh, he wouldn't have come along. He would have been driven crazy sooner or later.

Hearing that Tingyu was about to explode again, Mo Lan couldn't help but twitch her lips. "I didn't mean anything by it, I just think it's rare that someone as devoted to medicine as you still has time to care about the situation outside."

Sigh, talking to such a sensitive man is exhausting.

If you're not careful, you can offend someone.

Tingyu looked at Molan and saw her innocent expression, and immediately felt embarrassed. It turned out that she had misunderstood.
