Early the next morning, Lin Weiming carried dry rations and his daughter up the mountain.

It's already November, and the days are getting shorter. They need to go up the mountain early, otherwise it will get dark quickly in the afternoon, and they won't be able to hunt much.

If Lin Weiming were to go up the mountain alone, he could find a cave to spend the night in and stay there for several days. He would definitely be able to catch a big prey.

But Lin Wanyue is so young, such a tiny baby, who could bear to let her get cold?

What if I get sick?

Not to mention his mother and wife at home would definitely not let him off the hook, even Lin Weiming himself couldn't bear to see Lin Wanyue uncomfortable.

Lin Diaodiao was also brought out.

It ate and drank its fill at the Lin family home, its fur became glossy and smooth, and it even gained weight. It could no longer snuggle on Lin Wanyue's hair, so it could only lie on her shoulder, using its long tail as a scarf, which was quite beautiful and warm.

"Wanwan." When they arrived at their destination, Lin Weiming put Lin Wanyue down and instructed her, "You stay here and don't run around."

"Okay!" Lin Wanyue nodded obediently, her pair of big, beautiful, dark eyes inspiring trust at a single glance.

Lin Weiming then focused on finding traces of prey activity in the vicinity, preparing to set traps in areas where such activity was frequent.

Although he brought a bow and arrows, the trees in the mountains and forests made it easy to lose aim and catch the prey.

But if those animals fall into the trap, then there's no need to waste any effort or arrows; you can just capture them and take them home—it's easy and convenient.

"Diao Diao." But as soon as her father left, Lin Wanyue quickly put Lin Diao Diao down from her neck, patted its little bottom, and said, "Let's go find the silver ginseng and lingzhi."

The warm and soft scarf was taken off, and Lin Wanyue suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

Even though her mother had sewn a frayed edge onto the collar of her coat, it still couldn't compare to Lin Diao Diao's warm, large tail.

Lin Diaodiao: "..."

It glanced back at Lin Wanyue twice, then darted off in a certain direction.

Lin Wanyue waited for a while and saw that her father had not returned yet, but Lin Diao Diao ran back first.

"Have you found the fine one?" Lin Wanyue asked with a hint of surprise.

Of course, the sable couldn't speak; it just squeaked twice.

"Wow~" Lin Wanyue's smile grew even brighter, and she hugged Lin Jiaojiao and kissed her several times: "I knew it, Diao Diao is the best."

She put Lin Jiaojiao down on the ground, and the furry little creature quickly led the way.

If it weren't for the fact that it didn't have wings, Lin Wanyue would have thought that this guy was flying as fast as it was flying on the ground.

She could only huff and puff as she followed behind with her short little legs. After running for a while, Lin Diaodiao finally stopped in front of a tree hole.

It stretched out its two little front paws and frantically dug and dug. Luckily, the soil here was relatively moist, otherwise dust would have been flying everywhere.

Soon, two small mounds of earth were piled up on either side of Lin Diao Diao's body.

"Is there any Ganoderma lucidum in here?" Lin Wanyue asked, her brows furrowed, as she supported herself on her knees and exhaled puffs of white breath.

Based on her limited knowledge of herbs, she didn't know of any other herbs besides cordyceps that could be buried so deep in a hole.

Moreover, cordyceps sinensis also lives in high-altitude areas.

Their small western mountain has never caused anyone to experience oxygen deficiency, so it certainly has nothing to do with the high altitude.

"Squeak!" Lin Diao Diao was very fast. After digging for a while, she buried her head and burrowed in, then pulled out a long...

snake? !

Lin Wanyue: "???"

This snake is really pitiful.

While hibernating peacefully in its own cave, it was dragged out by some unscrupulous Lin Diao Diao.

Lin Diaodiao placed the hibernating, frozen snake in front of Lin Wanyue, raised her head, and looked at her with bright eyes, her face full of expectation, 'please praise me, please pet me'.

Lin Wanyue: "..."

She couldn't bring herself to say it.

Lin Diaodiao even used her paws to push the snake towards Lin Wanyue.

The meaning is obvious: Grab the duck!

Lin Wanyue didn't want to take the snake.

So he called Lin Weiming over, "Father!"

"Wanwan?"

Lin Wei had just dug a hole in the ground to make a trap, and used withered branches and leaves to cover the entrance. As soon as he finished, he heard his little daughter's tender voice calling him.

So Lin Weiming disregarded the prey and traps and rushed over to search.

Hearing my daughter calling out so urgently, I wonder if something has happened?

"Where is my daughter?"

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Weiming, being tall and long-legged, ran to Lin Wanyue's side in just a few steps, following the sound.

"Look." Lin Wanyue pointed to her feet for Lin Weiming to see.

"What is this...?" Lin Weiming looked down and saw a long snake lying horizontally in front of Lin Wanyue and Lin Diaodiao. He immediately understood what was going on.

"Oh!" Lin Weiming laughed, bent down and patted Lin Jiaojiao's head, praising her, "I didn't know you were so capable. Go, go find a few more, we can have snake soup when we get home!"

Lin Weiming casually twisted the neck of the snake, whose body was already frozen stiff, threw away its head, and put the body into the basket on his back.

"Squeak!" Lin Diao Diao was praised, and its tail instantly turned into a broom, sweeping around on the ground. It then climbed onto Lin Wanyue's leather boots, rubbed against them, and quickly ran away.
