Chapter 530 Even the children fleeing famine want to catch wild animals

Mo Dongcheng was still panting as he spoke, and it was unclear where he had been playing. He just couldn't stop; once he got tired of playing at home, he would run outside!

She has a lively and outgoing personality, but good social skills, and has many friends in the village with whom she gets along well.

Su Nanxi knew that Mo Dongcheng was a brat. She usually didn't want to bother with him if he didn't do something excessive. She let him play as he pleased. Isn't it a child's nature to play?

When she heard Mo Dongcheng run back and say the first thing, she was stunned. What could he possibly say out of the blue?

Grandma Mo was also puzzled, and scolded her with a stern face, "Clumsy and clumsy, you can't even speak clearly, how are you going to get your third aunt to answer? All you do is come back in a madman!"

Mo Dongcheng wasn't afraid of being scolded. He even stuck out his tongue and said with a grin, "I'm not crazy! Grandma, I'm fine! I just ran a little too fast, so my hair is a bit messy!"

Grandma Mo snorted. Who wants to listen to him anyway!

Old Mo gently tapped his head, "You little rascal! Tell me honestly, where did you go? Why did you ask about catching wild animals as soon as you came back?"

Su Nanxi stared straight at Mo Dongcheng, "Yes! Did you want to invite others, or did others want you to come back and ask?"

The difference is huge!

She wanted to hear it; she had a feeling there was more to the story!

Mo Qinghe glanced at Mo Dongcheng. He thought the kid was too noisy and too idle. He always liked to go out and have fun. He had to find something for the kid to do!

They don't understand anything and don't even realize they're being taken advantage of!

Mo Dongcheng suddenly felt uneasy. A cold gaze was fixed on him, seemingly very dissatisfied with him!

This is the prelude to him causing trouble!

He knew all too well the look in his third uncle's eyes!

His third uncle's eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at his third aunt, but he was indifferent when he looked at others. However, as long as his eyes were cold when they looked at him, he would soon have a lot of work to do!

His third uncle didn't like him!

snort!

He doesn't care. If he doesn't like someone, so be it. If they want to mess with him, he has plenty of ways to deal with it. He has his third aunt!

As long as his third aunt is there, he's not afraid at all!

However, at this moment, his aunt and uncle stood on the same side, and he was isolated. He should just behave himself!

Neither of them are easily fooled. If he lies, his whole family will chase after him and beat him up!

If he tells the truth, it might just be a one-on-one match. If he's lucky, he might not only get the match for free, but he might even get a reward!

Therefore, as intelligent as he is, considering the bigger picture and the principle that a wise man knows when to yield, he should confess and seek leniency!

Mo Dongcheng's mind worked quickly, and he immediately made the choice that was most advantageous to him. "I went out to play with the village's Big Dog and Second Dog. We usually get along very well. When I went there today, I found that some new people had joined our little circle. They were from the family that came from outside. A bunch of kids started playing wildly and quickly became familiar with each other, and started chatting. The kids from outside asked me about catching wild animals."

He paused for a moment, swallowed, probably because his throat was extremely thirsty.

Grandma Mo couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she fetched a bowl of water and handed it to Mo Dongcheng. Mo Dongcheng's eyes lit up when he saw the water, and he took it and gulped it down.

It's been days since I've had any water. I was so thirsty, but I didn't even come back to drink some!

Seeing that he had finished drinking, Su Nanxi asked, "And then?"

Mo Dongcheng tilted his head back and finished drinking. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and felt much more refreshed. He felt as if he had instantly regained his energy, and his cells were full of vitality. He didn't forget to thank Grandma Mo.

"They asked very detailed questions, including what kind of traps to use, where to place them, what bait to use, and how long it would take to catch them. I felt something was off about them, so I gave them a vague answer. I'm young, how could I possibly know anything about catching wild animals? I only get close after I've already caught them! They begged me to take them with me. They said they were miserable and living a very difficult life!"

"And then? You agreed to their request?"

"No! I need to ask my third aunt and get your permission! How could I dare to agree? If you don't agree, wouldn't I be in big trouble? I'm not very familiar with them, and I don't want to get beaten up because of this!"

"Heh! You're not done being silly yet! Tell me how miserable they are, and let me hear it before I decide whether I agree or not!"

“People starved to death in their hometown, there was nothing to eat, so they came here. Along the way, they ate whatever they could find, as long as it filled their stomachs! They said they had been starving the whole way, and they were so thin they were almost unrecognizable. They finally made it to our village, and the villagers gave them some food, which allowed them to fill their stomachs. They hadn’t tasted meat for a year, and their stomachs were very empty, so they wanted to catch some with us!”

Su Nanxi understood the general meaning of Mo Dongcheng's halting explanation.

She could understand those people's desire to eat meat, and she could also understand their actions of trying to achieve their goals through Mo Dongcheng, but she didn't have any good feelings towards these people.

My intuition tells me these people aren't exactly law-abiding citizens!

Therefore, I don't want to pay any attention to these people!

There will be more refugees like this in the future, how can she possibly save them all?

But once a precedent is set, it's hard to close it off, so it's better to set a precedent from the start!

It saved me from a lot of endless trouble later on, but helping others has made me a lot of enemies!

Why bother!

In these extraordinary times, one cannot be too kind; being too kind is a disaster for oneself!

Upon hearing this, the others also began to think about it; this was something they couldn't help with!

Human nature is unpredictable; who knows what will happen next?

Mo Dongcheng didn't think too far ahead; he simply agreed to go back and ask, which shows he wasn't stupid.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Su Nanxi say no; he knew his third aunt wouldn't agree!

He didn't want his third aunt to agree either!

Those people had barely started playing with him when they began trying to get close to him, even offering to hunt wild animals with him!

snort!

Are wild animals so easy to catch?

If they teach those people, will the Mo family still have wild animals to catch in the future?

Of course, they'd think of themselves first!

But in a moment of impulse, I was shocked by their tragic experience and promised to come back and ask them. True to my word, I was going to ask them.

As for the outcome, how could a child possibly control it?

If those people get angry, then he won't play with them anymore. Anyway, they're not familiar with each other. Before they came, he was doing just fine in the village!

Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe exchanged a glance. This kid isn't completely stupid yet; he can still be taken!

I know what's important and what's not, and I gloss over things that shouldn't be said, but there's one downside: I'm easily moved to pity when I hear about other people's misery!

“He’s still just a child. If he doesn’t have any compassion, then people will say he’s a heartless and cruel person!” Mo Qinghe said.

Too!

Seeing that he hadn't been beaten, Mo Dongcheng was overjoyed and brought up another matter, "Those two older sisters want to find husbands in our village!"
