Lin Weiming may seem careless, but he is actually quite calculating.

He planned to plant the corn seeds his daughter had given him before the summer harvest and also go up the mountain to hunt a wild boar.

Wild boars are different from tigers; they are social animals in the mountains. Even if the one he shot last time is already dead, there must be other wild boars in the mountains!

At the beginning of the year, my family was poor and couldn't bear to spend money to buy piglets to raise at home. But during the Spring Festival, my family will definitely eat some meat.

They're just a rural family; they can't be so arrogant as to spend money on meat for the New Year just because they have some savings, can they?

But it couldn't be too late either. Ning'an Village was located at the junction of the north and south, so it was hot in summer and cold in winter, which didn't bring any advantages.

After they finish their autumn harvest, winter will arrive in no time. At that time, even if Lin Weiming is highly skilled and daring, he will not dare to go up the mountain.

Now that he has some free time, he can catch the wild boar and reduce its waste of the village's food.

When Lin Weiming explained his plan, Xuefu and Liu Junlan both agreed.

“Wild boar hide is tough, so it’s better than other materials to make a pair of waterproof leather boots for each of the children,” Xuefu said.

It's true that she loves Lin Wanyue, but after all, she's a mother, and she also cares a lot about her four mischievous boys.

"No, no, I'm not going!" Lin Wanyue remembered the words that the Black and White Impermanence had told her before they left, and quickly stopped them, saying, "Father, don't go! There are bad guys on the mountain!"

"Hmm?" Lin Weiming hugged his daughter in his arms, patted her head, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, who would live on the mountain? The conditions on the mountain are harsh and dangerous. No one would be that stupid."

Hunting can provide meat, but it is also risky and difficult to store. If you can't catch any prey for several days in a row, you are very likely to starve to death.

Otherwise, why would the Xiongnu in the north risk their lives to plunder the Great Yan every year?

"There are bad guys, and lots and lots of bad guys!" Lin Wanyue still firmly shook her head.

"..." Liu Junlan was silent for a while, feeling that Lin Wanyue's words were not so simple, so she tentatively asked, "Wanwan, do you mean there are bandits on the mountain?"

Grandma is so smart!

Her father is a complete idiot.

"Yes!" Lin Wanyue nodded quickly, jumped off Lin Weiming, climbed onto Liu Junlan, and hugged her neck affectionately, saying, "Daddy doesn't believe me!"

“Your dad is an idiot,” Liu Junlan said with a hint of disdain.

"No..." Lin Weiming argued, "Wanwan, how did you know? You just play in the mud at home every day, you haven't gone up the mountain, have you?"

It wasn't that Lin Weiming didn't believe in Lin Wanyue's abilities, but in the past, Lin Wanyue could only see things when she got close. Now that she hadn't even gone up the mountain, how could she know the situation there?

"Wanwan forbids you from going, do you think she'll harm you? If I tell you not to go, then don't go. At most, we'll just eat less meat this year. Hmm... or when you go to the market, see if anyone has chickens for sale, and buy a couple. Chicken is delicious too," Xuefu said irritably.

Lin Weiming, who had just been scolded by his wife: Waaah, he felt wronged...

He didn't say he wouldn't listen to his daughter.

Wasn't he just curious?

"Mom~" The four mischievous boys were also very curious, licking their faces and drooling as they asked, "Can you make the roast chicken that Young Master Liu sent over the other day? That was delicious."

Xuefu: "..."

Xuefu: "I'm not your mother. Go and recognize Young Master Liu as your mother."

Liu Junlan's thoughts went even deeper.

It has been more than two years since the severe drought began, and the imperial court has not distributed grain or provided disaster relief. On the contrary, taxes have not been reduced but have even increased. Ning'an Village is not the only place in the surrounding area where people are starving. The situation is the same everywhere, and there are many men, women, and children who are so hungry that their faces are pale and sallow.

Since the people are suffering, some people will inevitably seek change out of desperation.

He became a bandit in the mountains just so he could have a full meal.

Although Liu Junlan wanted these things, she was powerless to pity others and had to protect herself first.

“Weiming, I’ve been thinking about it…” After frowning for a while, she stood up with Lin Wanyue in her arms and said, “Since Wanwan said so, it must be true. I have to go and tell the village head so that the people in our village don’t suffer in vain.”

“Okay.” Lin Weiming naturally agreed with this.

…

Liu Junlan then carried Lin Wanyue to the village head's house.

Ever since Lin Wanyue saved Zhou Jiren, the Lin family and the village head's family have become even closer than before.

Zhou's daughter-in-law even brought out candy that she wouldn't even eat during the New Year to treat Lin Wanyue.

Lin Wanyue held a soft candy in her hand, hesitating to take a bite for a long time.

"Hey, Lin family, what brings you here so late at night?" the village head asked, stroking his beard.

"I've come to discuss something with you. As you know, my granddaughter has sharp eyes and can see things we can't. She heard that things have been unsettled in the mountains lately, with some bandits possibly causing trouble. Our village is doing better than other places these days... I'm worried that someone might try to go hunting in the mountains before the busy farming season. If we run into them, it could be a very bad situation," Liu Junlan said with a serious expression.

The old man, the village head, subconsciously glanced at the three-year-old toddler who was feeding his five-year-old granddaughter candy.

"Lin girl, is this really true?" The village head also straightened his expression.

"Yes!" Lin Wanyue nodded.

She finally managed to send out the somewhat dirty-looking Yitang.
