Chapter 495 Fatal Attraction
"Brother, we are all smart kids."
Ye Jing smiled. He was an introvert and not good at expressing his emotions. Fortunately, his sister was lively and lovely. With his sister in the family, it was a home full of laughter every day.
"Sister, feel free to do whatever you like. No matter what happens, I will help you."
Xiao Nuan felt warm at heart. She liked brightly coloured clothes and strange works of art. Her teachers and classmates said that she had too serious capitalist ideas, but her family was very supportive. Her mother even gave her her grandmother's dowry for safekeeping.
My grandmother’s dowry was so beautiful. She couldn’t put down the golden headdresses, brooches, and gems and jades of various colors. There were also so many brightly colored silks and satins that she didn’t know what kind of clothes to make them into.
Her mother said that when she grows up, she would let her study fashion design so that she could wear whatever she wants and do whatever she wants.
But she also knew her limits. She hid these things in her room and would never take them out. She knew that they were treasures, treasures left by the Zhao family for her mother.
Li Huan came over with a little wild sheep in his hand. A sharp dagger was stuck in the center of the sheep's head. It was only then that the twins realized that their father had abandoned them to hunt wild sheep.
"Dad, you won unfairly."
"How can it be considered an unfair victory? I didn't make a bet with you."
Ye Jing: “…”
"Dad, you took us to the mountains to hunt, but you left alone and left us here. If we were in danger, wouldn't your conscience hurt?"
When Xiao Nuan saw that her brother was retorted for just one sentence, she immediately put her hands on her hips and criticized Li Huan harshly. Li Huan immediately raised his hand to indicate that he was wrong.
Ye Jing gave Xiao Nuan a well-informed look, and Xiao Nuan raised her delicate chin proudly. Li Huan couldn't help laughing and could only put the sheep in his hand on the ground.
"Dad, this dagger is so sharp."
When Ye Jing saw the dagger on the wild sheep's head, he immediately became envious. His father was so awesome.
"Just practice more and it will be fine."
"Dad, how did you practice?"
"Dad's kung fu was taught by your grandfather himself. It's a pity that you always stay at home reading books and don't know how important a strong physique is."
Ye Jing then remembered the target in the yard, as well as the bow and arrow and dagger. It turned out that hitting the target every time was a skill that was acquired through practice. He would start making a new plan tomorrow and increase his daily exercise time by at least one hour.
"Dad, can I practice?"
Xiao Nuan looked at Li Huan with her star-like eyes. She also wanted to be accurate in her shots. In the future, she would go up the mountain to hunt tigers and bears. The steamed bear paws she had made last time were really delicious.
"Of course, Daddy's little princess can practice, but you have to practice with Grandpa's help, otherwise you might hurt yourself."
Xiao Nuan nodded repeatedly. Li Huan pulled the dagger out of the wild sheep's head, then dragged it to the stream to wash it. Ye Jing and Xiao Nuan followed behind.
Ye Jing took the dagger and directly grabbed a rabbit from the backpack. He skinned and removed the internal organs skillfully. His grandfather always gave him small animals to practice on, so he already knew how to cut faster.
When they returned, Cheng Qiao had already boiled water and taken out a lot of bamboo sticks, which were prepared to skewer the wild game meat. As long as Li Huan went up the mountain, he would definitely not come back empty-handed.
Strings of rabbit meat and sheep heads were strung on bamboo sticks. Li Huan also took a pot and cooked a bowl of mutton soup. Ye Jing looked at the pot strangely. To his memory, there was no pot in the car.
Li Xiaonuan's eyes flashed slightly. This must have been transformed by her mother. What kind of fairy mother does she have? She is so lucky to be her mother's daughter in this life.
The sky gradually darkened, and six people gathered around the campfire to roast rabbit and lamb skewers, sprinkling some salt and cumin on the skewers from time to time.
The aroma gradually became stronger, and the oil on the meat dripped into the fire drop by drop. When the oil and fire met, a sizzling sound was made.
The meat was roasted and gave off an enticing aroma. Han Tong kept rubbing her hands. She wanted to eat it so much, but there were old and young people in this group of people. How could she, a woman who was neither old nor young, take the initiative to eat it?
Seeing her anxious look, Cheng Qiao first handed Ye Jun two skewers of lamb, and then handed her the rabbit skewers. Han Tong looked at the twins' eager eyes and couldn't bring himself to eat them, so he gave the rabbit skewers away.
"Auntie Hantong, please eat. We are not in a hurry."
Ye Jing shook his hand, and Li Xiaonuan also shook her hand. She wanted to eat lamb skewers and would be able to eat them soon. Han Tong kept praising her in his heart, after all, this was Cheng Qiao's child, which was many times better than her beautiful son.
Li Huan went to the car at the foot of the mountain and took out bowls and spoons. Everyone drank the hot mutton soup and ate a few skewers of delicious barbecued meat. It was very delicious.
"Ye Jing, Nuan Nuan, we will stay here tonight and go home tomorrow. Mom and Dad will go back to Hexi in a few days. You two must love each other, be filial to Grandpa, and study hard, okay?"
"Mom, I don't want you to leave. How about I go with you?"
"You have to leave even if you are reluctant. In the capital, the resources are much more abundant than those in Hexi. You are the only little princess in our family, and mommy doesn't want you to go there and eat sand and wind."
Xiao Nuan recalled that her skin had indeed become a little rough during the two months in Hexi. Fortunately, her mother had the best skin care products, which helped her to keep her fair and tender face.
"Brother Cheng Li is so pitiful. He is so handsome, but he lives on the edge of the desert. It's strange that his skin is not tanned at all. Look at grandpa, he looks like a black man."
Cheng Qiao smiled. Cheng Li was a special person and God did favor him. She didn't know if Wu Hongxin's granddaughter had won Cheng Li's heart. Otherwise, all the hard work this girl had suffered over the years would have been in vain.
At night, the four people hid in the tent. Cheng Qiao took advantage of the twins' inattention and sprinkled some medicine powder around them. It was medicine powder to prevent insects from approaching. Even the little red-head might not dare to approach after smelling the smell.
But in the middle of the night, Han Tong suddenly sat up, and she carried the sleeping Xiao Nuan and went to Cheng Qiao's tent:
"Cheng Qiao, there's movement, wake up quickly."
Cheng Qiao was talking to the Qilin Resurrection Tree in the space when she heard Han Tong's voice outside. The Resurrection Tree twisted its branches, and the wolf was coming.
"Why are there wolves here?"
"Your little princess used space water to put out the fire. It's good that the wolf came. If you attract a tiger or a blind bear, you can just wait to be eaten."
Cheng Qiao shook her head. She forgot to tell the children that they should not pour out the water they drank casually. They knew that the water was a fatal attraction to animals.
