Chapter 7 Chapter 7 I can go to school now.
The group consisted of both men and women, but none of them looked like ordinary people.
One of them nearly choked to death while drinking water.
Others subconsciously became more careful in their actions, but some didn't care and thought it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Wu Juan, who is very clean, had been wanting to wash and clean herself for a long time.
She simply stood up and went to a quiet spot to start washing herself.
Now out of the group's sight, she began to take out her things to wash and groom herself without any hesitation.
Thinking about how some people had thrown their smelly socks in there, she felt that the whole area was unclean, and thankfully she had already left.
Wu Juan, who is very clean, moved to a position upstream early on.
The woman took out a handkerchief, first wiping her face and neck, then her back, and then squatted down to wash her feet.
Just as she turned her back and bent down to wash, a whooshing sound came from behind her.
With a "whoosh," a dark shadow attacked.
The woman suddenly felt a weight on her back, followed by excruciating pain.
"Aaaaaah, help!"
Her loud shouts alerted the others.
The resting group scrambled to their feet, grabbed their weapons, and rushed toward her.
When they saw the scene before them, everyone was shocked.
Wu Juan was attacked by a wild beast.
Wu Juan sat slumped on the bank of the stream, one hand clutching her neck, blood streaming down her arm. A few steps away, a large, predatory beast was eyeing her menacingly.
"Wu Juan, don't move around, or you'll anger it."
"Don't listen to him, quickly light the torches. This thing is a lynx, it's very fierce. If we don't move it, it will bite us to death."
Wu Juan felt like she was about to die, and she tried to keep herself from fainting.
Soon, someone raised a torch and approached the lynx. The lynx sensed the danger behind it and looked at the other side with very alert eyes.
Its limbs were strong and its whole body was arched, as if it was about to pounce on the other side.
Everyone was terrified. Old Wu angrily ordered them to form a semi-circle and keep pushing it back.
Even the people behind it took out weapons and pointed them at it.
Perhaps due to the danger posed by the torches and the sheer number of people, after a stalemate lasting several minutes, the lynx turned and ran away into the distance.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief; it was terrifying.
By the time someone reacted and tried to help Wu Juan up, she had already fallen to the ground.
Someone began to examine her wounds and discovered a large area of scratches near the back of her neck. The wounds were deep, and a piece of flesh had been torn off.
Someone exclaimed, "Wow, this thing is amazing!"
"That's right, quickly sprinkle the medicine on her and then wrap it in a white cloth."
"Uncle Wu, this isn't good enough, is it? Shouldn't we find a place to take a look at her?"
The man called Uncle Wu was a middle-aged man who scanned his surroundings.
He countered, "Do you know the way?"
The man shook his head. "I...I don't know him!"
"Then what are you talking about? Hurry up and carry the person down the river." They've been here for over half a month and haven't found anything; in fact, they've injured one person.
Old Wu was also very frustrated, but in this remote area, every place was the same, and they really couldn't find their way.
The group became much more cautious than before, carrying Wu Juan downstream.
Meanwhile, upstream, Loin was already having a blast.
She played in the water by the stream, which meandered across the grassland and was crystal clear.
The water was not only sweet but also very refreshing, and Luo Yin usually didn't dare to mess with it.
My family cherishes water and regularly fetches water from the river each day.
But today, seeing that no one was around, Luo Yin couldn't resist taking off her shoes and finding a small, protruding depression.
This small, isolated depression does not affect the entire stream.
She stretched out her foot and stepped into the small puddle in front of her, feeling its coolness.
The moment she was touched, she shuddered! The sun in the sky was making her feel hot, while the water under her feet was cool and refreshing.
The contrast between the cold and the heat made Luo Yin even more reluctant to go out.
She plopped down, kicking the mud and sand beneath her feet.
Urina filled the basket, then got up to look for Luo Yin, only to find that she was gone.
"Luo Yin, there she is, we need to go back."
"Huahua, hurry up, we need to go home!"
When Luo Yin heard her mother calling her, she quickly got up and put on her shoes, answering her as she did so.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After Luo Yin picked up her things and followed Urina home, a ferocious beast was lying in a thick patch of grass.
After returning home, Urina helped Loin prepare the wild vegetables.
The grassland was the largest area, so I found a rope, tidied it up a bit, and then hung it all out to dry.
Then the dried mushrooms were stored away.
As Urina bent down to gather the yarn, she noticed that Huahua was watching her.
The young child stared intently at her as she worked.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Luo Yin was taken aback and tried to do what she did, but it was obviously not that simple.
He messed up everything he had worked so hard to get right.
"Alright, alright, you just watch from the side, I'll do it myself." Urina felt she had spoken too soon; this child was simply causing her trouble.
Luo Yin said "Oh," and propped her face up with her hands.
His eyes were vacant and he seemed lost in thought!
Urina would say a few words to her every now and then, and that was how the day ended.
After two more New Years passed, and she turned eight, Luo Yin was incredibly bored.
She played with all the toys that had been discarded at home.
She had practically measured the nearby grasslands on foot.
She had gone with Ani many times, but she just couldn't muster any interest.
She would help her mother with household chores, and after finishing what she could, she would sit alone on the grass, looking at the boundless grassland.
Staring blankly at the birds flying overhead, gazing into the distance.
The only thing that was somewhat interesting was waiting for my older brothers to get out of school.
Only at this time could she talk to Er and ask him about his life at school.
That evening, Luo Yin put down her rice bowl early during dinner.
Bart and Urina, who were watching from the side, were both taken aback and turned to look at her with a distracted gaze.
She sat down next to her second brother and watched him eat.
Muren is now 12 years old, a big boy, tall and strong, and he eats a lot.
His older brother, Hada, was two years older, taller, and just as sturdy. But you could tell from his face that he was younger, and he was about to graduate from elementary school this year.
"Little sister, do you want some? I'll share some with you."
Luo Yin shook her head. "Second brother, I'm full. You can eat while I watch you eat."
As the family members watched the two bickering, Batt casually mentioned the arrangements for Hada's future.
When is the graduation exam at school?
Hada put down his chopsticks and said, "It'll be the end of June. We'll know when we get the results."
Ani thought for a moment, "You need to do well on the exam and write carefully so you can continue your studies."
Bate nodded, "If you can get into the junior high school in town, we'll continue our studies."
Hada nodded, gradually understanding his father's meaning.
During the years he studied there, he visited the town several times, and compared to the grassland town, it was indeed much better.
"I know, I will study hard."
Barthes nodded, then looked at Loin.
"Huahua, do you want to go to school?"
Luo Yin was stunned by her father's words.
The other family members also had different expressions, but Mu Ren was indeed very happy.
"That's great, even though my older brother is gone, I still have my younger sister to keep me company."
Urina seemed to want to say something, but remained silent.
Luo Yin became excited too, "Really? Can I go too?"
She didn't know what going to school was for, but now she really wanted to go.
Bart smiled and nodded, "Of course, to go to school and learn."
"Yay, I want to go!"
“Okay, after Hada finishes his graduation exams, have him tutor you beforehand. That way, it will be easier for you when you go to school.” Bart looked at her, then glanced at Muren, and explained earnestly.
Luo Yin thought about it and agreed without hesitation.
Hada, who had been given the task, had no objections.
Mu Ren, on the other hand, looked rather sour.
He felt that his father disliked him, but he dared not say so, for fear that the rest of the family would also dislike him.
With the prospect of going to school keeping her engaged, Luo Yin no longer felt bored.
Regaining her vitality, she is happy every day and takes every opportunity to go with Ani to dig for caterpillar fungus.
She wants to dig more to earn lots of money so she can go to school.
Because my second brother told me that going to school costs a lot of money.
Luo Yin was even more enthusiastic about digging for cordyceps, and for a long time she didn't follow Wu Rina around.
She worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk, practicing for long periods, and eventually she got the hang of it. Compared to before, her skill in finding cordyceps had improved considerably.
Even Anido told Bart in private that this kid was resilient and destined for great things.
Bart was delighted to hear this and praised her in front of the children.
But he also explained to Luo Yin to put her mind at ease, saying that her family had enough money for her studies.
Luo Yin said she understood, but after hearing her second brother say that a certain classmate had bought something new, her enthusiasm for saving money grew even stronger!
