"No, I was just guessing. Do you have a better explanation?" Zhou Wufu said straightforwardly.
No, they felt the explanation of the Five Blessings was very reasonable. They couldn't understand the crux of the matter at all, so they chose to believe in the Five Blessings.
Zhou Sanfu stared at the box thoughtfully. Why did the bamboo slips he brought home not disappear, but the ones in the box did? Could there be something strange about this box?
But whatever the reason, the bamboo slips in the box had disappeared, and they only had the three books they had brought back earlier.
Apart from Dafu and Sanfu, the other four didn't feel much about the disappearance of the bamboo slips; they just wanted to leave quickly and do what they wanted to do.
Dafu and Sanfu asked everyone to help bury the box back in its original place. Erfu and Sifu muttered a few words, but still resigned themselves to helping lift the stone slab on top and press it down.
After finishing, Zhou Erfu said with a regretful look, "That python is no longer in the cave, otherwise it would have been great to catch it and make snake soup."
“Let’s go pick some bayberries. I remember there are two bayberry trees on this mountaintop. Let’s go straight up to the top,” Zhou Sifu said.
“I remember there are a lot of medicinal herbs on the mountaintop. You guys pick bayberries, I’ll go dig up some herbs.” Zhou Wufu had asked his father to buy him a small medicinal hoe, and he was holding it in his hand right now.
"Xingxing wants to eat bayberries, she's never had any before." Last night, after hearing her second and fourth brothers say how delicious bayberries are, how sweet and sour they are so appetizing, she almost cried with envy. Right now, she wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly straight to the mountaintop to pick bayberries.
"Don't rush, your second brother will take you there right away. You must eat a lot of bayberries later and remember what they taste like."
Zhou Erfu suppressed a laugh. Xingxing doesn't like sour food. In winter, she always eats small sour fruits with sugar. Many bayberries are so sour they make your teeth ache. He couldn't wait to see Xingxing's reaction after eating bayberries.
Xingxing looked at her second brother with suspicion, whose face looked strange. She had a feeling that he was up to no good, but she had no proof.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, Xingxing exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the trees laden with green and red bayberries, "These are bayberries! There are so many! One tree has yielded so many. They're so beautiful! Xingxing wants to eat some. Second Brother, go and pick some!"
"Alright, sit here and wait, your second brother will pick a bunch for you right away." Zhou Erfu put Xingxing on the rock and sat down, then turned around and scurried up the bayberry tree like a monkey.
Before long, he picked a handful and squatted down, saying, "Try it and see if it's good."
Xingxing's big eyes sparkled as she stretched out her pink index finger and thumb, picked up a bayberry, and put it in her mouth.
"...It's so sour, so sour." Xingxing felt her mouth watering, and eventually it just started flowing out.
Seeing the little girl's pink and soft face turn into a mask of pain, Zhou Erfu burst into a maniacal laugh, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up and collapsed to the ground.
Xingxing: "..." Second Brother's brain must be seriously damaged.
Tsk, what a brother who ruins his sister's life.
