An Wan squatted by the river, and Lu Zhili used the lid of a plastic bucket to scoop up some river water and helped her wash her face and hands.
When it was her turn to help him wash, he refused her help and only asked her to go and get the bucket of fish and shrimp to prevent anyone from coming and taking them away.
An Wan couldn't refuse him, so she had to go along with him. He probably thought he was too dirty, which was why he didn't want her to help him wash his face.
I never imagined that he would be so vain at only ten years old.
She walked up to the plastic bucket, looked down at the large bucket full of fish and shrimp, and felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
Although there was only one large fish weighing three pounds and twenty or thirty large shrimp, the rest were small fish and shrimp about the length of a finger.
However, this trip was absolutely worth it.
Even if she and the Lu family eat to their hearts' content tonight, they'll probably have to eat two or three meals.
I'm so lucky.
However, because there were too many fish and shrimp, weighing about ten pounds, Lu Zhili had to use both hands to lift the plastic bucket. Not only did he walk very slowly, but he also walked like a penguin, wobbling and unsteady.
An Wan really wanted to help, but she also needed to hold the fishing net.
The fishing net was also very heavy because it was wet.
The two walked home slowly, one after the other, but they encountered several boys from the village on the way.
"Hey, isn't that the little idiot? Everyone come and see! Hahaha—"
"Oh my god! There's an ugly freak here. What bad luck! Someone so ugly has to come out and scare people."
"Hahaha! A silly girl and an ugly duckling, a match made in heaven!"
Four or five boys surrounded Lu Zhili and An Wan, and for a moment they didn't notice the fishing net and plastic bucket they were carrying.
"You bastards! You're not allowed to bully my sister!" Enraged, Lu Zhili put down the plastic bucket and shielded her behind him.
"Wow, he's even protecting the ugly one now! This little fool is amazing!"
"He's only good at protecting ugly ducklings. Pretty girls wouldn't even look at him; he's a fool. Hahaha—"
"Exactly! Hahaha—"
An Wan found the boys in front of her annoying. In order to prevent them from discovering her spoils, she needed to get Lu Zhili away as soon as possible.
Just as she was about to use her spatial blade to attack them, a scream suddenly rang out.
"Ah! A snake—"
"Holy crap! A giant snake!"
"Ahhh—"
"Mom—"
The boys turned around and saw a large snake with its head raised about three meters behind them. It was three or four meters long and its body was as thick as a child's thigh.
A pair of bright red snake eyes gleamed with a terrifying cold light, and its mouth opened wide, making a hissing sound that sent chills down their spines and made their legs tremble.
The snake's forked tongue moved back and forth in the air, revealing a pair of curved, sharp teeth that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
At this point, they were already feeling as if they were being bitten and about to die.
But how could a giant snake appear?
An Wan was also curious; it was only April and large snakes were already appearing in the village.
However, she was not afraid.
If the giant serpent dares to attack her, she will show it no mercy and use her strongest spatial blade to compress it a hundred times, cutting the serpent into a hundred pieces.
Seeing the giant snake flicking its tongue, Lu Zhili's legs trembled, but he still shielded An Wan behind him. "Don't be afraid, little sister, your fifth brother will protect you."
Although he was also scared, he had to be brave for his sister's sake.
My older brother said not to panic in the face of trouble, but to stay calm.
Yes! He needs to calm down.
"Fifth Brother, I'm not afraid, but you're really brave. You're not even afraid of the giant snake. I believe you can defeat it."
An Wan suppressed a laugh and kept praising him.
He's simple-minded; praising him is better than saying something scary to frighten him.
"Snake! Snake! Snake! Ahhh—"
"Holy crap! Run!"
"Waaaaah! Mommy, save me—"
Just as the boys were running away with their heads in their hands, a deafening cry of an eagle came from the sky above.
An Wan looked up and saw a huge creature swooping down rapidly.
"The Great Eagle—"
My God! This is huge!
When the eagle that flew down spread its wings, it was as tall as an adult.
"Sister, be careful—" Lu Zhili looked up and saw the eagle swooping down. He pulled An Wan to the side of the big tree.
