"It's alright. Didn't I say before that your cooking has a homey feel to it? That's what your second uncle was talking about."
She simply scoffed. What kind of fantastical statement is that? How could someone who's not very good at cooking possibly create a homey feel?
From Cheng Chao and Cheng Jin to Cheng Zhuo, no one knows how they got so rich from eating.
"By the way, have those people from yesterday been handed over? Do I still need to give a statement to them?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Chao was also scared. He heard the details in the office today and almost ran back. He thought there were really only two robbers. It turned out they wanted to kidnap someone.
"You're one to talk! Those two were carrying sleeping pills. What if something happened to them? There's no one on the road. We'd be worried to death!"
What kind of good people could they be? You're really going to fight them one-on-one? How could you be so reckless? What if something unexpected happens?
Jian Dan didn't dare to talk back, and listened silently. Only when she saw that Cheng Chao had finished speaking did she speak softly.
"I know, bro, I'll definitely be more careful next time."
Knowing it was just a perfunctory response, Cheng Chao had no choice but to resort to nagging. He couldn't hit or scold the person, so he could only start nagging.
"Look at you, instead of staying at home, you came here, and in just a few days, first you fought with a snake, then you fought with a person, and a human trafficker at that. Tell me, what else do you want to do?"
"Hehe, don't worry, bro, I shouldn't be that busy. How could I be that busy?"
Cheng Chao didn't really believe it, but no matter how worried he was, he still had a mission and couldn't stay by his side, so he could only repeatedly give him instructions.
"You can go out and have fun if you want, but you must put your safety first. Don't rush in if something happens, understand?"
You're a young girl. I brought you out here to relax and have fun, not for you to go on missions with me. So relax.
They don't have school tomorrow, so let them take you out for a walk. What else do you want to eat? I'll have someone buy it for you tomorrow.
Simply wave your hand.
"No, no, no, can I go hunting in the mountains?"
Cheng Chaoqi was so angry he almost fell backward.
"You still want to go up the mountain?"
Does she not know how much she has a connection with the mountains?
At home, accidents always happen when we go up the mountain, and it's the same here; both accidents are related to the mountains.
"no,"
Simple, a little guilty, shuffled her feet along the ground with her toes.
"Well, hunting isn't necessary. Oh, when I found those people yesterday, I also found an injured fawn. I'd like to go get it."
Seeing that Cheng Chao was about to speak, I quickly finished what I was saying.
"It's so hot today. Even if we leave it on the mountain, it will smell bad after a while. Wouldn't that be a waste?"
After leaving that area that day, Jian Dan actually put the fawn in a secluded place, thinking that she would 'accidentally' discover it while leading the way up the mountain, and then she would have a legitimate reason to eat the meat. However, she got so busy that she forgot about it.
When Cheng Chao asked what else he wanted to eat, she thought, "It would be such a waste not to eat mutton here. Why not go up the mountain and hunt a sheep?"
Then I suddenly remembered the prey I had forgotten.
Cheng Chao rubbed his forehead and checked again.
"You really... left it on the mountain?"
He had reason to suspect that his restless sister was looking for an excuse to go up the mountain, perhaps to find some prey, but this time it was for real.
She met his gaze with simple, resolute eyes.
"Really? Why don't you come with me? I'll show you the place, and you can go get it."
After all, given the weather and temperature, even the coolest places on the mountain have their limitations; leaving it for two days is already the limit.
Simple, but also a little regretful.
"I got back too late yesterday and forgot about it, otherwise I would have gone to get it this morning."
Cheng Chao was at a loss, seeing his younger sister constantly thinking about going up the mountain.
What can we do but spoil them?
Looking up at the sky, the sun had set, but the afterglow was still quite strong. It would still be a while before it got dark, so I decided to stay close to home, otherwise I would be on edge.
"Hey, hey! I'll go tell my second uncle, let's go now, let's not wait until tomorrow."
"Okay," Jian Du was delighted.
"Then I'll go back and put on my coat."
Cheng Chao said he was helpless, but the smile on his face never disappeared. Whose little sister is this? She's so capable!
He simply put on a coat and came out. Not only Cheng Chao, but also Cheng Zhuo and the two children were there, and they were all wearing long sleeves and trousers.
"You're all going?"
Cheng Zhuo had a stern face.
"Look at you, is this the kind of work you're supposed to do? There are so many people in the family!"
Cheng Rui rushed over and stared at her intently.
"Sis, is there meat?"
He really enjoyed that meat meal, and he's more enthusiastic about meat than anyone else ever since.
Cheng An also carried a rope and a basket on his back, looking ready to set off at any moment.
"Isn't this many people necessary?"
The simplicity is somewhat helpless; is this a trip to play?
Tang Sumei came out to pour water, and simply told them to leave.
"Hurry up, if you're going, go early and come back early, otherwise it will be dark soon."
Cheng Rui and Cheng An, you two protect your sister!
"I'm here, aren't I? Don't worry about me, I'll be back in a bit."
"Okay, I'll boil some water first."
Everyone was eating at the time, so they didn't run into anyone. The group headed in the direction they had been heading since yesterday.
The wormwood along that path had already been felled when the main group went up the mountain yesterday, and it's quite noticeable now in the setting sun; the higher you go, the darker it gets.
Cheng Chao led the way, following simple instructions. After many twists and turns, they reached a location that was close to the depths of the mountains. When they arrived, visibility was limited to just this small patch of land in front of them.
"Brother, ahead, behind that patch of weeds on your left, be careful, it's only four or five meters away, but it's a trap,"
Cheng Chao took a step back, then extended the stick in his hand first.
"You put that thing in the trap?"
"What else can we do? We'll just use a trap, that's safe!"
Lay it flat on the ground; with that stench of blood, what could possibly be left?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chao actually found it to make sense.
Cheng Zhuo, standing behind, was practically grinning from ear to ear. Look at them, this is a child from the Cheng family, how wonderful!
Cheng Chao quickly tapped the empty space with the stick. Upon approaching, he could still see in the dim light of the setting sun that the weeds and other vegetation were in disarray, which made him more alert.
"Be careful, this trap has been activated."
"There's no one around, bro. Look, could something else have gotten into that trap?"
Cheng Chao thought so too. Pushing aside the clutter, Cheng An handed him a tin flashlight. Cheng Chao turned it on and gasped in shock.
"Well, thank goodness you all came."
Cheng Rui was eager to try and inch forward.
"Brother, what's wrong? Is the meat still there?"
