Chapter 791 New Year's Eve (Seventeen)
"Second sister, mom will make more sticky bean buns tomorrow so you can give more to Lu Xiaoxiao. She helps us a lot."
"good."
"Mom, heat up these dishes now, and go to the yard to call your dad to eat."
"good."
After seeing her second sister off, Lu Xiaoxiao went into the space to take a shower. She calculated that the day after tomorrow would be New Year's Eve, and Zhang Xu should come down the mountain to take her hunting tomorrow.
The next morning when Lu Xiaoxiao woke up, she heard noise coming from the yard, so she immediately got off the kang, put on her clothes, and walked into the yard.
"Wake up." When Zhang Xu heard the sound of the main room door opening, he knew that the little girl must have woken up, so he turned around and spoke to the little girl.
"Well, when did you get here?"
"A little after seven in the morning."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"not yet."
"I'll go heat up the buns and they'll be ready to eat in a minute."
"Um."
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the house, she went into the kitchen. She lit the big earthen stove, added water into the pot, put a steamer on it, and put steamed buns, eggs, and sweet potatoes into the steamer to steam together.
Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao put out the fire in the big earthen stove, and then shouted to Zhang Xu in the yard: "Zhang Xu, eat."
"good."
Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the kang, picked up an egg, peeled it, and asked Zhang Xu, "When are we going hunting?"
"After breakfast."
"Do you want to bring some dry food?"
"No, go now and come back in the evening."
"Can we get anything in such a short time?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing Zhang Xu's words.
"You doubt my ability?"
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard what Zhang Xu said. She thought that hunting seemed to require luck in addition to ability. If you are unlucky and don't encounter prey, then you won't be able to catch prey even if you are very capable.
Zhang Xu glanced at the little girl and guessed what she was thinking, so he said to her, "Eat without worry. Since I said I would be back in the evening, I will definitely catch enough prey before I come back."
"I see."
After breakfast, Lu Xiaoxiao put out all the fires in the house, closed the yard door, and walked up the mountain with Zhang Xu.
When Lu Xiaoxiao reached the middle of the mountain, she said to Zhang Xu, "Zhang Xu, can we catch any prey if you keep walking like this with me?"
"We haven't reached the hunting ground yet. If you get tired, I'll carry you on my back."
"No, I'm not tired. I'm just curious where you're going to take me hunting."
“You’ll understand when you get there.”
"Oh, is there a lot of prey there?"
"Well, you can fight as much as you want then."
An hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao passed through a cave under the guidance of Zhang Xu, and then she was stunned by what she saw.
"Zhang Xu, pinch me quickly. I want to see if I am dreaming."
When Zhang Xu heard what the little girl said, he reached out and pinched the little girl's face lightly. Hmm, it felt good.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt a slight pain on her face, and she knew she was not dreaming, so she excitedly pulled Zhang Xu and said, "Zhang Xu, how did you find this place? I didn't expect to see such a spring-like place in the twelfth month when it's snowing heavily."
"I found this place when I was chasing a wild goat."
"You are so lucky. I have come to this mountain a hundred or eighty times, but I have never discovered this." Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xu with envy.
