"This is a secret base, I suppose. So far, only you and your Boss Xiao have been here! There are no traps, but there are arrays, so most people can't find this place. Remember what I just told you; you can come here by yourself next time!"

Su Nanxi walked in. The place hadn't changed much. There weren't many people here on weekdays, and it basically remained the same as before, without any expansion or new additions!

She brought Xiao Wu here mainly to let him know that such a place exists, so that having multiple places to stay would make things more convenient!

After all, there are too many people and too many eyes in the Mo family, so some things are inconvenient to do. This place is a good option. It can be gradually improved and there is no problem with living here long-term!

"Since you, Boss Xiao, have expanded your house, you can also build one of your own, in your own style, whether it's bamboo or wooden planks, it's up to you!"

Su Nanxi walked around and looked at the house she had built. She felt that she could also expand it by a few rooms in case of emergency.

Life is unpredictable; who knows if we'll need it in the future!

If we only build it when we need it, it will be too rushed and sloppy!

While we still have time, let's do some things now and then. It's not only easy, but we can also take our time and do a better job!

"There are some tools in this little house. Take a look and see if you need them, then choose for yourself!"

Xiao Wu took a look and exclaimed, "Good heavens! There are some tools that I've never seen before!"

How do I use it?

I'm so curious!

Seeing that he was crouching down and staring at it for a long time without making a move, Su Nanxi knew that he definitely didn't know how to use it, so she simply explained the usage method to him.

"Oh!" Xiao Wu nodded, his eyes full of excitement, and picked up the tool to try it out.

He wants to build his own house too!

But here's the problem: he's never done this before and doesn't know how to build it!

This is a really bad omen!

"Here! Take a look and see which one you like. There are pictures and instructions, figure it out yourself!"

Su Nanxi tossed a book over to Xiao Wu, who took it with a puzzled look. He didn't know what the book was, but he still looked at it carefully.

Upon seeing this, he was immediately struck by the thought that he wanted to possess the book!

It's nothing! He just really likes it and finds it so useful!

Shouldn't this book be a family heirloom for the craftsmen?

How come his master has it? Could it be that his master's ancestors were famous craftsmen?

Waaah! His master is so kind! He just showed him this precious thing without any hesitation, not even worried that he would run away with the book!

Hmm! Master is a person who cannot be judged by common sense; his heart is so broad that it can hold hundreds of thousands of mountains!

He wanted to overturn his previous ideas and reiterate that his master was reliable and capable!

Who knows, there might be even more innovative things to come in the future!

He was very interested in that loud talking thing, extremely curious, and really wanted to try it out, but he didn't dare to ask!

I didn't see my master take it out again later, sigh! It's a little disappointing!

Su Nanxi was unaware of Xiao Wu's rich inner thoughts. After giving him instructions, she told Xiao Wu to go back and think it over carefully, and then she took him down the mountain.

After finding the children, Su Nanxi demonstrated her superb hunting skills to Xiao Wu, leaving Xiao Wu so astonished that his jaw almost dropped!

His master is something else!

How could such a rudimentary trap catch its prey?

They had laid many traps and snares before, far more sophisticated and complex than this, to fill their stomachs, but they hadn't managed to catch much prey!

But the master can easily carry a whole bunch of wild animals!

Are the wild animals in this mountain so stupid?

Or perhaps his master possesses a unique skill and secretly used a secret technique when he couldn't see it!

Otherwise, there's really no way to explain it!

If they were half as capable as their master, they wouldn't have had such a hard time catching wild animals, having to lie in wait and run all over the mountains!

Sigh! They're just too weak!

The master is indeed the master!

No wonder Boss Xiao kept saying that we can't look down on our master just because she's a woman, or we won't even know how we died!

Boss Xiao is powerful enough, but he still respects his master!

It's clear that the master is indeed not weak!

Looking back now, I'm a little glad that I chose to stay. If he had gone back to train someone else, he might not have had the chance to stay by his master's side!

He must work harder and secretly practice martial arts; he cannot afford to waste his time. Without good skills, how can he protect his master?

"Brother Xiao Wu, hurry and catch that rabbit! Don't let it get away!" Mo Dongcheng shouted at Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu snapped back to reality instantly and moved with incredible speed, catching the fleeing rabbit and bringing it right in front of Mo Dongcheng in a flash.

Mo Dongcheng's eyes blazed with admiration, his mouth agape, and he was speechless for a long while before finally exclaiming, "Wow! Brother Xiao Wu, you're amazing!"

Xiao Wu instantly realized he had forgotten to be low-key and had revealed a bit of his strength. He could only scratch his head and pretend to be embarrassed, "I was just afraid it would run away and we would lose a rabbit, so my heart skipped a beat! You can be so capable even in a panic!"

Mo Dongcheng was skeptical. "Really?"

After thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, and I even convinced myself of it!

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Kids are so easy to fool!

I dared not stand there in a daze any longer and rushed over to help, making sure no one noticed anything was wrong!

He was just a poor kid; he didn't know much. All he knew was how to work and eat!

Mo Jiaxing and Mo Dongcheng were on leave, so they came to work as well.

The Mo family has a bunch of kids, it's quite a lively family!

Some were catching chickens, some were catching rabbits, and some were collecting eggs—they were all busy and having a great time!

Xiao Wu also realized for the first time that working could be so enjoyable!

That was so awesome!

The Mo family can't finish eating all these wild animals, so they can sell them for money, which will make them much better off than ordinary families!

Carrying heavy baskets on their backs, the Mo family children slowly walked back, and just as they reached the fork in the road, they met the adults carrying firewood back home!

When the adults heard that the baskets were full of wild animals, they were both happy and worried, and quickly took the baskets from the children.

The child is so small, how can he carry such heavy things? He'll bend his back!

The adults are old and their backs and arms are worn out. They're used to working all year round, so a load of firewood isn't too heavy for them. They can even manage with two more baskets on their backs!

But it's not possible for a child to carry such a heavy load all of a sudden. If they get injured, it would be a huge problem! It would be too late to regret it if they developed any health issues!

When it was Xiao Wu's turn, Xiao Wu didn't give it to her. "I come from a poor family and have done all kinds of work. This isn't heavy. It's much lighter than what I used to do. I can carry it! Don't worry, it'll be fine!"

He said that, then carried it on his back and left.

The adults saw that he carried it easily and walked briskly, so they let him be.

This is hardly a weight for Xiao Wu; he has carried many times heavier weights before!

That's a training exercise; you have to memorize it!

That goes without saying, anyway, he can carry it!

Little did he know that his actions were interpreted by Lord Mo in a completely different light!

This child is so pitiful! He has to do everything and rely on himself for everything at such a young age!

I'm back home.

"Huh?! Someone's here?"
