Lu Hui was still marveling at how lucky he had been to stumble upon such a wonderful opportunity.

Zuo Zuo, You You, and their younger brother surrounded their older sister, praising her for being amazing.

Nao Nao and Tengteng's ears suddenly twitched. They had practiced martial arts the longest and were the most skilled.

They exchanged a noisy glance.

Nao Nao: "Everyone, please be quiet. There's a noise over there."

Upon hearing this, Lü Hui, Zuo Zuo, and You You immediately surrounded their older sister and younger brother.

The older sister looked in the direction Nao Nao was pointing. After seeing clearly, her eyes crinkled with laughter. Just as she was about to call for her mother, Xiao Man made a shushing gesture. The older sister immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Everyone was listening for any noises around them, so no one noticed the older sister. She was grinning mischievously, like a kitten that had stolen a fish.

Nao Nao looked at everyone. "You all wait here, I'll go take a look."

Tengteng: "I'll go with you."

Nao Nao: "Okay."

They looked around but found nothing.

Nao Nao frowned. "I clearly heard a noise just now."

Tengteng: "I heard it too."

Nao Nao and Tengteng checked again carefully, but still found nothing.

The two brothers exchanged a glance.

Nao Nao: "Have we run into a master?"

Tengteng: "Maybe. Let's go."

"Um."

When Nao Nao and Tengteng came back, they told everyone that they might have encountered a master and that everyone should be careful.

Zuo Zuo, You You, and their younger brother were very excited when they heard about the expert.

Zuo Zuo: "Where are the experts?"

Youyou: "I want to have a match with him."

Younger brother: "Is he as powerful as Mom?"

Tengteng looked at Zuozuo, Youyou, and his younger brother: "We still don't know if the other side is friend or foe."

Zuo Zuo: "There are so many of us, we're not afraid."

Youyou: "Yes."

The younger brother immediately moved closer to his older sister. "Sister, I'll protect you."

The older sister patted her younger brother's head. "Good boy."

Lu Hui looked at Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Was that a wild animal just now?"

Nao Nao shook her head.

Tengteng: "I also don't think it's a wild animal."

Lü Hui: "So what do we do now? Go back or continue collecting herbs?"

Nao Nao glanced at Zuo Zuo, You You, and his older sister and younger brother: "Let's go back." They didn't know if the other side was friend or foe, and their martial arts seemed to be superior to theirs. If it were just him and Tengteng alone, he wouldn't be afraid. Today, the two of them had brought their younger siblings with them.

Tengteng thought the same thing as Naonao: "Let's go back." They just wanted to earn some travel expenses; there was no need to take any risks.

Lü Hui: "Okay, anyway, we've already picked three ginseng roots today."

Zuo Zuo didn't want to go back. "Brother Nao Nao, Brother Tengteng, he might not be able to beat us."

Youyou: "Yes."

Nao Nao looked at Zuo Zuo and You You. "Can you two protect your older sister and younger brother?"

Tengteng: "Don't be a show-off."

Zuo Zuo looked at her older sister and younger brother. "Okay."

Youyou was a little unwilling. But... now that her brothers were all going back: "Then let's go back."

Nao Nao patted Zuo Zuo and You You on the shoulders. "I'll bring you again next time."

Zuo Zuo and You You: "Hmm."

Tengteng looked at Naonao, Zuozuo, and Youyou: "Lü Hui and I will lead the way, and the three of you will bring up the rear."

Nao Nao, Zuo Zuo, You You: "Okay."

After lining up, Tengteng and Lü Hui led everyone down the mountain.

The older sister looked behind her.

The younger brother had been following his older sister. When she looked back, he noticed her. "Sister, what are you looking at?"

"nothing."

After walking for a short while, three screams came from behind.

Tengteng and Lü Hui looked back and saw that Zuo Zuo and You You had been caught on two vines and hung in the tree. Nao Nao was trying to rescue them from the tree.

Tengteng shouted, "Who?"

My younger brother wanted to go and help Nao Nao.

When Nao Nao saw this, she said, "You stay there and protect your sister."

Lu Hui looked around warily.

It was quiet all around.

After getting Zuo Zuo and You You down from the tree, Nao Nao asked them, "How did you get infected?"

Zuo Zuo: "I don't know."

Youyou: "I felt a gust of wind behind me and was about to turn around to look. But as soon as I turned my head, I was hung up."

Tengteng looked around but didn't find anything. "Lu Hui, you and Zuo Zuo and You You go first, and Nao Nao and I will bring up the rear."

Lü Hui: "Okay."

Nao Nao patted Zuo Zuo and You You on the shoulders. "Be careful."

Zuo Zuo and You You: "Hmm."

The older sister looked at Zuo Zuo and You You and smiled secretly. "Little brother, you must listen to your older brothers from now on."

Younger brother: "Mmm."

After walking for a while, Zuo Zuo and You You were hung up in the tree again. Lü Hui tried to pull them back, but he was a second too late. This time, the vine came down from above.

Zuo Zuo and You You were extremely frustrated.

Tengteng shouted, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Nao Nao: "What kind of hero bullies two little kids? If you've got guts, come at us two brothers."

Lü Hui quickly got Zuo Zuo and You You down from the tree.

Younger brother: "Brother Zuo Zuo, Brother You You, are you two alright?"

Zuo Zuo: "It's okay."

Youyou looked up at the tree and shouted, "If you've got the guts..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tengteng glared at him. "Shut up!" The other party's strength was clearly superior to theirs. Tengteng clasped his fists and looked around, saying, "Sir, my brothers and I came into the mountains today to gather herbs. If we have disturbed you, please don't take offense. I will now take my brothers down the mountain."

It was quiet all around.

Tengteng gave Naonao a wink.

Nao Nao walked over to Zuo Zuo and You You. "Now you know what it means to be outmatched, right? Your skills are no match for them. Let's go down the mountain."

Zuo Zuo: "Mm."

Youyou didn't dare to say anything after being scolded by Tengteng.

The current formation is as follows: Lü Hui leads, Nao Nao walks behind Zuo Zuo and You You, Tengteng walks behind his older sister and younger brother, and Lao Lang follows behind Tengteng.

Tengteng thought that everything would be alright this time, right?

As a result, Zuo Zuo and You You were entangled in vines again. The only difference was that the other party cut the vines down as soon as they had Zuo Zuo and You You hanging up and making a fuss.

Nao Nao and Tengteng exchanged a glance. To be able to keep Zuo Zuo and You You hanging around Nao Nao like that...

Nao Nao tentatively called out "Mother".

Xiaoman swung down from the tree, holding onto a vine.

Zuo Zuo and You You paused for a second, then said in unison, "Mom, why do you always dangle our tails between you?"

Xiaoman looked at Zuozuo and Youyou and said, "Your martial arts skills are not as good as your brothers Naonao and Tengteng. You also don't have as much social experience. They know they are no match for me and are already preparing to leave the mountain. You two are still unwilling and want to challenge me. Furthermore…"

Xiaoman looked at Youyou and said, "Since you are no match for the other party, don't provoke them."

Zuo Zuo and You You: "Mom, we were wrong."

Xiaoman smiled. "Actually, you guys are pretty good. Your brothers Nao Nao and Tengteng said a few words to you, and you listened to them."

Zuo Zuo scratched her head. "Then...then why did you hang us up so many times?"

Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. "Mom's just teasing you guys when she's bored."

Lu Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Aunt Xiaoman, you scared me to death just now."

Xiaoman smiled. "Go back and practice your skills diligently. Try not to be frightened by me in the future."

Lü Hui nodded vigorously. "Yes."

Youyou: "Mom, how did you hang us up like that?"

"I'll teach you later. You guys go ahead and gather herbs." Xiaoman waved to her older sister.

The older sister carefully walked up to Xiaoman. "Mom, I've been quite diligent these past two days."
