“That wild boar was so big! It was staring at me from less than five meters away. My mother wasn’t with me and couldn’t see what was happening on my side, so I shouted for her to climb the tree quickly. Then I took a few steps back and quickly climbed up the thickest tree.”
"You wouldn't believe it! When that wild boar saw me climb the tree, it wouldn't give up. It kept ramming the tree, and it bent that thick tree askew, breaking several of its roots!"
After dinner, Lin Chaodong began to tell his two younger brothers, his wife, and daughter about his thrilling adventures that day. The fourth brother listened with great interest, while Liu Shi looked at him with concern. Only the third brother and Xiaoman listened with great interest.
"Huh? Our mother can climb trees?"
"Wow! Wild boars are so powerful! No wonder they managed to burrow a hole in my thigh in one go!"
"And then? And then?"
The fourth brother is the most loyal straight man and will never let Lin Chaodong perform a solo act.
"And then? My mother and I hugged the tree trunk tightly, not daring to make a sound that would provoke the wild boar, until it got bored and left."
At the time, my mother and I didn't dare go down, afraid it might be waiting for us somewhere and pounce on us. We waited for a long time, and only went down when we figured it was really gone.
At this point, Lin Chaodong took the opportunity to teach his two younger brothers.
"From now on, never go into the mountains alone. You must go with at least a few people, and an adult must accompany you. Never go into the mountains unless absolutely necessary. The mountains are not a place to play. Who knows when something might come out that could kill you, and you won't even know how you died."
Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei repeatedly assured:
"Brother, I promise I won't go into the deep mountains. Even if I do, I'll tell you and Mother first."
Listening to the conversation among the people in the main room, Yue Jiuyue thought that Lin Chaodong was really a good older brother. Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei also respected him as their elder brother and listened to him. She found it quite interesting.
You see, she happened to live in an era where "it's good to have only one child," and she envied families with older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters. She always felt that they had company and were always lively and cheerful, while she was always alone and lonely no matter where she was.
Thinking of this, Yue Jiuyue pulled her wandering thoughts back. She wasn't one to wallow in self-pity; it would only make her more unhappy.
Clearing her mind of distractions, Yue Jiuyue opened the shopping mall and immediately noticed that the homepage was filled with strange and unusual items.
Scratch-off lottery tickets?
Is this something she can do even in a fictional ancient world?
As for scratch-off lottery tickets, she had only bought them twice, following others' lead. Each time, she bought 20 yuan worth and scratched off exactly 20 yuan.
This happened both times, so she never bought that thing again after that.
Now, how about giving it a try?
Thinking that twenty coins was just enough to go out and gather a couple of handfuls of grass, Yue Jiuyue decided to buy ten to try her luck. Maybe her luck would improve here?
The first one, two pieces.
The second one, didn't win?
The third one, twenty yuan!
Wow, I've already made two yuan! I've made two yuan in this round.
Yue Jiuyue felt relaxed. Since she had already earned two yuan, she wouldn't lose money no matter whether the next seven scratch cards yielded a winning amount.
Yue Jiuyue smiled slightly and began scratching the fourth card. Unexpectedly, she scratched out a number again, and it even started with a number. Could it be one yuan? Or ten yuan?
