Chapter 12: Encountering a Wild Boar



"Such a red fruit must be very sweet. Since you gave me the fruit, I will reluctantly forgive you. Be nice to me in the future, okay? Otherwise, I will not forgive you."

Xiao Jingyu took a bite directly, the juice splashed everywhere, the sweet juice flowed in his mouth, feeling the delicious fruit, Xiao Jingyu narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Ce looked at his third brother and was very worried about his future. He was so sharp-tongued that no one would like him. They obviously wanted to say nice things, but when they came out of his mouth, the meaning changed.

A few people were still enjoying the delicious fruit here, unaware that a group of villagers waiting outside, led by the village chief, were hesitating anxiously.

"Village chief, they have entered the inner circle. What should we do now?"

"Yes, there are many wild animals in the deep mountains. What if we go in and encounter them?"

"I don't want to risk my life for them. I have a 60-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home. I am the pillar of the family. What will happen to them without me?" Immediately, a strong man backed down.

"I believe everyone knows how the Xiao couple treated our village. If you don't want to go in, go home now. If you want to go with me, leave now."

The village chief did not force it. Everyone's situation was different. He could not make the decision on such a matter of life and death. Otherwise, if something really happened, he would have no way to explain himself.

The villagers at the back were whispering to each other and discussing the matter. After unanimous discussion, they came to the conclusion that everyone should go.

Even the few strong men who had just backed out agreed to go, perhaps to repay the favor of the Xiao couple.

"Village Chief, let's all go!"

"Okay, everyone, follow closely. Don't leave anyone alone. This is no small matter. Everyone, follow me."

The group thus stepped into the deep mountains that they had always feared.

Lin Shuang finished the fruit in her hand in no time, pulled a few very strong vines from the side, walked to the backpack containing the rabbit, and opened one of the backpacks.

Catch a rabbit and tie its four legs so that it is difficult for it to run away.

Xiao Ce watched his stepmother's actions from the side, understood her idea, and stepped forward to help Lin Shuang tie the rabbit's hind legs.

Lin Shuang looked up at Xiao Ce and felt that this boss was really adaptable and had no temper at all. At such a young age, he had learned to be patient. He was worthy of being the future leader of a country and had courage.

Xiao Ce kept his head down as he tied the rabbit's hind legs, but he could feel his stepmother's gaze on him.

After the other three children finished eating the fruit, they walked over to the two men and watched them tie the clothes.

"Stepmother, what are you doing?" Xiao Nanxin asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"You are so stupid that you don't even know this. Their legs are tied to prevent them from running away." Xiao Jingyu blurted out with disgust.

"Third brother, you are the stupid one. Nanxin is not stupid." Xiao Nanxin pouted and accused Xiao Jingyu.

"Hmph." Xiao Jingyu turned his head away.

Lin Shuang glanced at Xiao Jingyu and had no idea who this kid looked like. He really spoke with a double meaning and was angry and couldn't control his emotions.

He was also the one who was beaten the worst by the original owner because he refused to admit defeat and would just do whatever he wanted.

He received two or three times as many beatings as Xiao Nanxin. Although they are twins, their personalities are really different.

"Okay, after I tie them up, I'll let you carry them all so you don't have to worry about me." Lin Shuang tied the legs of the last rabbit and put it directly into the backpack.

He walked forward, and the little ones followed behind. Xiao Nanxin and Xiao Jingyu had the least rabbits in their baskets, one each. Xiao Wangshu carried three, all small ones, and Xiao Ce carried four big ones. Seeing that they were carrying the rabbits well, Lin Shuang felt that walking was quite easy.

Lin Shuang led them to the big tree where they had just picked fruits. The fruits were quite delicious. There were quite a few of them, so they picked them all and took them home. They were ripe anyway, otherwise they would have fallen and rotted.

"Wow, there are so many red fruits. Let's pick them quickly." Xiao Jingyu's eyes were suddenly filled with only these fruits, and he could no longer see anything else.

"Look at how greedy you are. Didn't you just finish eating?" Lin Shuang found Xiao Jingyu's appearance quite funny. The tears on his face had not been wiped clean yet, but he was grinning. This change made Lin Shuang sigh in surprise.

"Hey, I'm not full."

“Hahaha, Third Brother, you’re not a cow’s stomach.”

While the two were playing, Lin Shuang and Xiao Ce had already climbed up the tree.

"Xiao Ce, you are quite good at climbing trees."

Lin Shuang watched Xiao Ce jump up the tree like a monkey, as if he were in his element.

"It's okay. I loved climbing trees when I was little, and I've been doing it for a few years."

Xiao Ce remembered that when he first came here, he often followed some children in the village to climb trees and dig out bird nests. As time went on, they knew that he had no mother and gradually became distant from them.

The two of them watched their step and carefully picked the ripe fruits from the tree. Lin Shuang thought that this peach was really good. It was rare in this deep mountain. Where he lived, there were many varieties, including juicy peaches, yellow peaches, crisp peaches, flat peaches, and nectarines.

Xiao Wangshu looked at the backpack, Xiao Nanxin clapped his hands under the tree, and Xiao Jingyu also looked up at the two people on the tree, with the corners of his mouth raised never lowered.

After a stick of incense had passed, the two of them had finally filled all the peaches.

Seeing that there was already a large basket of peaches in Lin Shuang's backpack, everyone was very happy.
