Chapter 14: Going up the mountain



It took about two quarters of an hour.

"It's time to eat...Brother Da Niu, Xiaokang, wash your hands and get ready to eat." Tian An shouted at Xiaokang and Da Niu in the kitchen.

As a result, Da Niu came out of the study with a sour face.

Oh! What a mistake! I wanted to give this brat a good workout. But the one who cooked was his sister, so I have to be grateful!

Xiaokang looked at Daniel.

Tian An shouted again, "We're having noodles today, hurry up! If they get clumpy they won't taste good anymore."

Daniel: …………Yes, even a moment’s delay will not do.

Then he gave Xiaokang a look. "Didn't you tell me to hurry up? Why are you still standing there?"

Xiaokang got the signal, relaxed, and sat down on the ground in an instant.

Seeing this, Daniu felt relieved. He walked briskly to eat his noodles. "Hmph! Brat, it's only been a short while. There's still a long way to go. You'll have to endure this later."

After breakfast, Da Niu taught Xiao Kang a few Chinese characters and let him practice writing them on the ground. He came back in the evening to inspect the work.

Watching Da Niu sorting out his hunting tools in the corner, Tian An guessed that he was going into the mountains.

Thinking about the ancient natural environment, the ecology was good and intact, and that there must be a lot of good things in the mountains. Maybe she could get some herbs to sell. If she was lucky enough to find some ginseng or ganoderma, wouldn't she have to worry about not having money? The thought made her excited. She walked up to him and said with a smile, "Brother Danniu, do you want to go hunting? Take me with you!"

Da Niu stopped what he was doing and said unhappily, "Nonsense, you haven't been scared yet, have you? The mountains are dangerous, why are you going there? Just stay home."

This makes me feel very boyfriend-like! It seems that with proper training, it won't be a problem to make Da Niu a good husband.

But no matter how strong my boyfriend is, I still have to go up the mountain.

Tian An gathered his emotions and composed his expression. He squatted down, took Daniu's sleeve with both hands, and gently shook it. He looked at him with pitiful eyes like a stray dog, without saying a word. But his meaning was clear: take me with you!

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't buy it. He pulled the sleeve from her hand, turned around and continued to organize his tools.

Is she not pretty enough? Is she not good at acting like a spoiled child? Or is this plan just not feasible?

Imagine her, a brilliant genius mastering both Chinese and Western medicine, suddenly falling into disgrace. For the first time in her life, she'd tried to flirt with a young man, only to find it all ended in failure. Alas! She really wasn't cut out for this.

Tian An stood up and snorted, then said sarcastically, "Huh! It's just a mountain! You act like you don't have feet. It's not like I haven't been there before, sister."

Daniu glanced at her and said with a smile, "That's right! Being carried up there and then carried down on someone's back. Yeah, that counts as having been there."

Tian An felt a little ashamed. It seemed that he had to go up the mountain today to avenge his previous shame.

Regardless of whether he agreed to take her with him, Tian An simply prepared some food and water, grabbed a small shovel and a small backpack, and as soon as Daniu left, he followed.

Seeing that she was not joking and was really going up the mountain, Daniu took it seriously: "Tell me, why are you going up the mountain?"

Tian An said confidently, "There are so many good things on the mountain. I'll go see if I can pick some herbs to exchange for some silver."

He said in disbelief, "There may be medicinal herbs on the mountain, but do you know which ones are them? Don't just pick a weed and call it medicine, you'll be laughed at."

Seeing that he didn't believe me, I didn't explain myself. I would wait until I made some money. I would let the white silver blind your beautiful phoenix eyes, so that you wouldn't look down on others.

Tian An said with a stern face: "Anyway, I must go up the mountain today. Either we go together, or I go alone. You can't stop me."

Daniel was helpless. Since he couldn't stop her, he might as well let her run into a wall. That way, she wouldn't act so recklessly next time.

After instructing Xiaokang to keep the door closed and look after the house, Daniu took Tian An's backpack, put it on his own back, and headed towards the back mountain.

After a delay in the morning, there were already many people on the road getting ready to go to work in the fields.

Everyone was a little surprised to see Tian An and Daniu walking together.

A kind-hearted lady warned, "Tian An! Why are you with Daniu? I have something unpleasant to say. You better be careful! Young girls are most afraid of being gossiped about."

Tian An greeted her with a smile: "Good morning, Auntie! I'm not afraid. I've agreed with Brother Daniu that I'll be his wife. After the mourning period for his parents is over, we'll ask the elders to arrange a marriage for us. Auntie, please come to the banquet then!"

When the old lady heard what was going on, she said, "Oh! So that's how it is! You two kids are quite creative! But Daniu is a good kid too. I'll definitely come when the time comes."

Some uncles and aunts nearby also teased Da Niu.

"Daniu! You have to treat Tian An well!"

"Yeah, then we'll shamelessly ask for a drink."

Danniu could only bow and say: "Of course, of course"

By the time they reached the mountain, an hour had passed.

Originally, Daniu planned to stay in the mountains tonight and return tomorrow morning. However, since he was taking Tian An with him, it was obviously not possible, so he could only try to return before dark.

I thought I wouldn't be able to catch any prey today due to the short time, but I didn't expect to get a good start as soon as I got up the mountain.

Just as Tian An was looking around to see if there were any medicinal herbs, Brother Daniu pulled her sleeve.

Tian An looked at him and saw him silencing himself with one hand, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Tian An looked in the direction he was looking. Wow, what a fat rabbit! It must have weighed about 7 or 8 kilograms!
