After emerging from the cave, the five of them couldn't help but smile at each other. The embarrassment on their faces and the dirt on their bodies made people wonder what they had done.
"Okay, let's find a stone to block the entrance of the cave. We can't let others take advantage of us like this."
Wen Maidong looked at Chen Lei and Shen Yu, it was time for them to do something.
"Sister Malt...the fish are still there, let's take them back!"
After searching the sack, Chen Yun didn't expect that their belongings hadn't been taken away by animals. This was a pleasant surprise. They had been there for so long, and it was really lucky...
"Well, take it back."
The fish in the village were all small fish, without any meat, and could only be stewed into soup. These were all big fish, and they wouldn't want anything less than big fish.
"Oh right...the wild grape and chestnut forests we walked through, there were also good things there."
"I don't know if the sacks we brought are enough." Chen Yun put the fish into the bag swiftly while looking at the forest in the distance reluctantly. The things inside attracted her very much.
"Okay, let's go over there and pick the things we had our eyes on earlier."
Wen Maidong picked up the sack filled with fish and called out to Shen Lei and Shen Yu, who were going to wash their hands. If they didn't go back soon, their families would probably start to worry, so they had to pack up and hurry back to the village.
"Walk……"
Murao
Miao Guihua looked around at the intersection, scolding these troublesome children from time to time. They were getting bolder and bolder. If someone from Shen Wu's family hadn't come to tell her that someone saw several children going to the back mountain, she really didn't know where to go to find these five troublesome children.
Is the back mountain so fun? Is the back mountain so safe? They see the benefits and forget about the dangers.
"When we get back, I'll teach them a lesson."
Miao Guihua's face was filled with anxiety. Even though it was time for dinner, she didn't feel comfortable going home to make it. It was already this late, and these kids hadn't come out yet. Were they...were they in some danger?
"Mother... yes, mother..."
When Chen Lei saw Miao Guihua, he couldn't help but yell at the top of his lungs. Chen Yun shuddered, feeling something bad was wrong, and looked at his brother hesitantly.
"Mom...we're back..."
"Things...don't forget, the things in our hands."
He signaled Chen Lei not to get too excited and not think that they could show off what they had on hand and walk back from the end of the village to the entrance. They should put these things away a little to avoid making people jealous.
"Oh...oh...yes, yes, for these, why don't we find a tree first and throw them on the tree to hide them."
"Okay...hang it on the tree first."
It is much safer in the trees than in the surrounding areas, but not all animals can climb trees.
"You little bastards, get back here right away..." Miao Guihua's loud voice immediately made Shen Lei and Shen Yu tremble twice. Oh no, they both exchanged glances to signal that it might not be what they thought.
"Don't be afraid, we have our sister here!"
"But... Mom is angry. I guess my sister won't be able to help."
Chen Lei looked at his brother with a bitter face, feeling that he was about to have a bad experience. What should he do? What should he do now? Could he not go back? Would regret be of any use?
"Let's go... If you don't go back, you're going to get a real lesson."
The two of them followed Wen Maidong miserably, pulling and tugging at each other and unwilling to walk faster. Seeing them like this, Wen Maidong didn't know what to say.
"Alright! Alright! You two brats, you're not doing your job every day, but you're running to the back mountain. Don't you know what that is? It would be fine if you went there by yourself, but you brought your sister and the Wen brothers and sisters with you... I'll beat you to death."
As soon as she saw Shen Lei and Shen Yu, Miao Guihua took up the wooden stick and started fighting without saying a word. While doing so, she scolded the two children, saying that it was all their fault. If it weren't for them, her well-behaved daughter wouldn't have followed them around.
"Mother……"
"Oh...we were wrong...Mom...really, we know we were wrong."
Although Shen Lei and Shen Yu were hiding, Miao Guihua's momentum really overwhelmed them. Even Shen Yun, who was standing next to her, was shocked. She had never seen her mother so angry before, and she was unable to react for a moment.
"Auntie, auntie, it's not A'lei and A'yu's fault. It's me. I wanted to go to the back mountain, so they took me there."
"Maidong, don't worry about it. Auntie knows it's not your fault. Don't cover up for these two brats. I want to teach them a lesson today. They really think they have grown wings and can fly."
My own brats are half-baked and dangling. They're all so bold, they're not afraid to do anything. In this situation, we must be serious and make them clear about what they can and cannot do. Back in the mountains, we were lucky to avoid any danger.
"Mom...we didn't. We didn't go inside."
"Yeah, we just walked around a bit."
Chen Lei and Shen Yu hid while answering Miao Guihua's questions. They didn't dare to tell their mother where they had been, as they were really afraid that their mother would hit them again if they disagreed. Although the beating of the stick didn't hurt much, they couldn't let go of their pride. Being watched by so many people, especially since they had never been beaten since childhood, their faces suddenly turned red.
"Mom...Mom...please stop hitting my brothers. Actually, I want to go to the back mountain. I know the grapes and chestnuts there are ripe."
"Niuniu...Niuniu, please stop covering for these two brats. No matter what, I'm going to teach them a lesson today. None of them know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is. They really think they can reach the sky. What kind of place is the back mountain? Even hunters don't dare to go up the mountain now. You may be lucky enough to escape unscathed, but what about next time?"
Miao Guihua grew increasingly angry as she spoke, practically on the verge of exploding. Now, a fire burned within her. If it weren't for Niuniu holding her back, she would have still wanted to teach her own brat a lesson. They were truly capable of such deed, even daring enough to attempt it in the back mountains. This time, they were lucky, but what about next time? Not every time was this lucky, and not every time could escape unscathed.
"Yeah! The back mountain is not a good place. Someone went in a few years ago and came out sideways."
"That's right...that's right, you kids are really too brave!"
"They are still children after all, and their courage is beyond imagination."
"Hmm...you're really brave."
The villagers were all secretly amazed at the courage of Shen Lei, Shen Yu and their group. They had never thought that they would go to the back mountain. The back mountain was a forbidden area, and they usually wanted to avoid it.
