When Song Chengjian and Song Chengyu came over, their elder brother Song Chenghou made room for them to sit down and rest.
Song Chengfeng returned to the back hall of the temple and handed over the spring water he had collected...
Song Chengjian raised his hand, but Song Chengyu politely declined with a smile, "Thank you, Sixth Brother, but Second Brother and I just had some water outside..."
Song Chengjian maintained his icy expression, while Song Chengyu couldn't hide his excitement. Song Chenghou waited for the two to rest for a while before asking:
"How is the situation?"
Song Chengjian casually said to Song Chengyu beside him, "Go ahead and say it!"
Song Chengyu nodded and looked at his elder brother and the other brothers.
"In the morning, my second brother and I walked around the coastline for a while and found that there were mines to the west. The sea breeze blew up the mountains and there was dust in the air... It was not suitable for living."
The eastern side receives strong sunlight, has few trees, and is less inhabited by fishermen. Living alone in such a place may not be appropriate.
My second brother and I discovered a place at the foot of Limu Mountain, on the west side, with a babbling brook that could be used for drinking water...
Furthermore, the area is sheltered by mountains and has a cool, shady location, so even if a typhoon hits, the mountains can block some of the wind force...
This place is not far from where Xiaobao's mother and the fishermen and Tanka people gather...
In case of any difficulties in life, you can also ask them for help...
Song Chenghou nodded, but when he heard the words "Limu Mountain", his brows furrowed involuntarily.
So Song Chenghou asked, "Would there be any risks in getting closer to Limu Mountain?"
The brothers looked at each other...
The second brother, Song Chengjian, then spoke up, "My fifth brother and I stood there for over half an hour, but we didn't hear any noise from the mountain..."
According to Xiaobao's mother, living in Yazhou is fraught with danger; we can't even solve our survival problems now...
Although we can find shelter in the temple, with so many of us, if we eat for several days, I'm afraid the abbot and the other monks will starve to death...
Let's try our best to solve this ourselves!
We'll stay here for now; after all, it's just occupying a small spot at the foot of the mountain.
However, I think that as long as we don't easily touch their things on the mountain, and don't easily go up the mountain, these Li people aren't monsters, and they won't indiscriminately kill innocent people...
Even if they want to capture us and enslave us, with our brothers' skills, we might be able to escape...
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. If you're worried, we can go back to the temple first and ask the abbot and Xiao Bao's mother, who are locals, for their opinions..."
Song Chenghou and his other brothers pondered after hearing this, and then nodded slightly.
Indeed, there is no better way.
Wow! What's this? It smells so good!
Song Chengyu suddenly spoke up, saying that he had been walking all morning and was quite tired, so he was indeed a little hungry.
At this moment, the fourth brother, Song Chengliang, had already lit the branches and placed them into the prepared stones...
I washed my hands and the thin stone slab with seawater, grabbed a handful of oyster meat, and slowly grilled it on the slab...
Song Chengliang laughed and said, "This is oyster meat..."
He reached out and pointed to the rocks not far away, "Hey! These were pried off from these rocks..."
It was Shishi who discovered it, taught us how to pry it off, and even taught us how to eat it…”
"Hey!" Upon hearing this, Song Chengyu looked at Wen Shishi with delight and exclaimed, "This little thing is really amazing!"
Wen Shishi turned her head and looked at Fifth Brother's stunningly handsome face, unable to look away.
Lao Jiu, the jealous Song Chengyuan, spoke up again, "Hey! Do you guys think all women are so superficial, only liking pretty ones?"
Shishi is only four and a half years old. Is this what they call her natural inclination?
Song Chengyu's handsome appearance was famous throughout the capital and was also acknowledged by the Song family.
But Song Chengyuan was a little unconvinced; in terms of appearance, he was at least second in the Song family...
Why isn't this little guy even looking at him?
She wouldn't raise her chin and drool over him, would she?
The tenth brother stepped forward, casually wiped away Wen Shishi's drool, and comforted her, "Little sister, it's not shameful to drool over a handsome man!"
Everyone has a love for beauty!
What's more, it's his own brother...
Don't worry, look! Look boldly! It's okay!
Wen Shishi's cheeks flushed slightly, probably because she felt a little embarrassed...
Song Chengxin turned to his ninth brother, Song Chengyuan, and said in a cheeky tone, "Ninth brother, appreciating beautiful things isn't called being superficial..."
Are you just saying the grapes are sour because you can't have them?
Song Chengyuan had just picked up his chopsticks when he threw them aside and immediately chased after Song Chengxin...
He said viciously, "If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll start tearing down the roof beams! You think you're so tough now?!"
Song Chengxin had anticipated this, and he ran off faster than a rabbit, defiantly replying, "Yeah! Ninth Brother, I've been feeling itchy lately..."
So it turns out I owed you a scratch...
The two chased each other, one pursuing and the other fleeing, and soon they had run quite a distance.
The other brothers of the Song family looked up at the familiar scene and couldn't help but smile.
Wen Shishi also craned her neck to watch the two people chasing after her.
The second brother, Song Chengjian, got up without saying a word, picked up the chopsticks that the ninth brother had just thrown away, and rinsed them clean in the seawater.
They were roasted over the fire again, and the remaining chopsticks were given to each person in pairs.
The two people, running wildly, showed no sign of stopping even as they approached...
Then the second brother, Song Chengjian, spoke up, "Alright! Stop fighting, let's eat!"
After you finish eating, you can clean up your own mess!
His voice was calm, without the slightest hint of anger, but Song Chengyuan and Song Chengxin were terrified.
