Chapter 494:
When Yue Jiuling returned home, the dumplings were already prepared, and the master and apprentice could eat as soon as they got home.
Wow~ Are we having dumplings today?
As soon as the apprentice got home, he automatically and obediently washed his hands before eating.
Yue Jiu Nian packed dumplings for her and said, "It's almost the end of the month, and you'll probably be dropping out of school soon. By the way, Jiu Ling, should we find her a tutor online? It might be a bit difficult for her to study at home on her own."
Because you can't learn much in kindergarten, Yue Jiuling wants Yue Xiaoju to study at home on her own before going to primary school. However, she thinks it won't be easy for her to learn on her own, since there's no one to teach her, and her master at home won't teach her either, so it will be a bit difficult.
"Hmm, hiring an online tutor isn't a bad idea. How about this, you guys find her a tutor when you have time. Online teaching is quite convenient. You guys decide what to do."
Yue Jiuling, biting into a corn and lean meat dumpling, said, "Actually, the most important thing is cultivation. She doesn't have to be good at studying, but she must focus on cultivation. Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't even be able to maintain her human form."
"Yes, that's true, I understand."
Yue Jiu Nian nodded: "Spiritual energy is scarce in the human realm, so cultivation is indeed essential."
While the family was happily eating, Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were starving on the other side.
After coming down the mountain, for some reason, the oxcart that was supposed to pick them up didn't come, so Yue Jiuyue and the others had to walk down the mountain on their own.
"Oh no, how could this happen? Didn't they say they were going to wait for us down there? We've already paid half the money, and they're not even coming to pick us up. It's infuriating!"
As Sister Qing helped the big boss walk, she complained, "It's already dark, and no one will come to pick us up after we get down the mountain. We'll probably have to sleep here again."
The big boss was also tired today. He was not in good health to begin with, and he even fell down the mountain just now. Now he needs Sister Qing to help him walk.
Looking at the difficult mountain path, the big boss said, "Sigh, maybe they thought it was getting dark and we weren't going down, so they went back?"
"But it will take us a long time to get out of the mountain road and reach a populated area."
They had just come down the mountain. Because it was a remote place, it would be a long walk from the foot of the mountain to a village with people.
"Hey, this won't do. It's already so late, and we don't have a car to pick us up yet. Why don't we just rest here?"
After walking for a while, Old Song suddenly stopped and said, "It's so late now, it's too far to find a village. Why don't we rest here for the night and wait for the oxcart to pick us up tomorrow? What do you think, boss?"
"Okay, let's rest then, sigh~"
The boss was actually tired, but he thought that if he walked a little further, there might be someone there. However, the further they walked, the darker it got, and at this point, no one would usually go into the mountains anymore, so he agreed to rest.
Since it was so late and there wasn't a good place to rest, the group simply set up tents on the spot, gathered firewood, and started a fire, intending to cook a meal.
"Oh ho~ It's a good thing we got down the mountain. If we had come down a day or two later, we probably would have starved to death."
When Uncle Liu was counting the food while cooking, he discovered that they didn't have much food left. There were only a few cans of food, some instant noodles, and some beef jerky.
Old Liu was pouring water to cook noodles. He said with a smile, "Everyone, eat less tonight. Anyway, we're already down the mountain, so we're not afraid of starving. Tomorrow, we can go out and eat something delicious, so everyone has to work hard tonight."
"Well, at this point, this is the only way."
Old Song waited for food on the side. He said, "It's a good thing we all came down the mountain. If we hadn't, we would have starved to death."
"Yeah, going down the mountain is exhausting. Luckily we've all made it down, so it's okay. We can eat well tomorrow when we get out."
Sister Qing was also talking about it.
Listening to everyone's words, Yue Jiuxing smacked her lips on the side, because she was also hungry. However, there wasn't much food available today. With so many of them, each person could probably only eat a little bit of food, which was simply not enough.
"September, I'm hungry~"
Yue Jiuxing rubbed her belly and moved closer to Yue Jiuyue, saying, "Should we grab something to eat? There's not nearly enough of this stuff!"
Yue Jiuyue was actually touching her belly, but after sensing her surroundings, she found that there was no wild game nearby, so she pouted and said, "Oh ho, it seems there's nothing to eat around here. If we want to eat, we'll have to go up the mountain, but I don't want to go up."
"Well, okay, it seems we're definitely going to go hungry."
Yue Jiuxing said with great disappointment.
After the food was cooked, everyone ate a little bit and then went to bed early. They said that if they were hungry, they should go to bed early so they wouldn't be hungry anymore, and they could get up early the next morning to go out of the mountains to find food.
Everyone else fell asleep hungry, but Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing couldn't sleep. They tossed and turned in their tent, unable to sleep, and finally decided to go out and find something to eat.
After confirming that the person who had asked for leave had fallen asleep, the two of them secretly got up and flew up the mountain under the cover of night to find wild game.
"Coo coo~"
After running up a big tree, Yue Jiuxing had just stood firmly on the tree when she heard a sound. As soon as she heard the noise, she immediately cast a spell to attack the source of the sound!
