"Brother Jiayan, I want to go out with Fifth Brother to find something to eat, okay? We'll be back soon."
An Wan mustered up her courage and revealed her purpose, hoping he would agree.
Lu Jiayan didn't react much or show much surprise, but he looked at her for a long time before nodding in agreement.
"Go early and come back early, Wanwan. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Our family can still support you. Zhili, you have to take good care of your sister."
“Okay! Fourth Brother.” Lu Zhili jumped up happily, happy that he could go out and play with his sister.
He used to love going out and having fun, even though many people would call him a little fool or an idiot.
It's because a little girl suddenly appeared in the last few days, and he rarely goes out to play in order to take care of her while she's injured.
"Brother Jiayan, don't worry, we'll be back soon, and we promise to be safe and sound."
An Wan smiled and waved at him, then hurriedly pulled Lu Zhili out of the house.
The bright sunlight fell on her, backlit, making her face unclear, but in Lu Jiayan's eyes it became a beautiful and sacred painting.
At An Wan's request, Lu Zhili secretly carried a bamboo basket and a wood-chopping knife out of the house.
Although he didn't know what she was going to do, he still obediently listened to her.
Because there's meat to eat.
Fifth Brother, do you know the way up the mountain?
That's right!
An Wan wanted to go up the mountain to catch pheasants and rabbits; she refused to believe she couldn't get one.
Waaaaah... She wants to eat a big chicken leg.
In fact, the Lu family raised three old hens, but they couldn't kill them to eat because they needed to lay eggs so that she could eat an egg every day.
Besides, she had no right to demand that Yunping kill and eat the old hen, even though she was now Yunping's adopted daughter and a member of the Lu family.
But she couldn't do it.
"Huh? Going up the mountain?" Lu Zhili opened his mouth in surprise. His little sister was amazing. She was only five years old. Yesterday she went to the river to catch fish, and today she wanted to go up the mountain to find something to eat.
But the pheasants on the mountain fly very high and are very wary, so they are impossible to catch. He has never seen anyone in the village catch a pheasant.
He had seen them catching wild boars twice before.
"Yes, let's go up the mountain! Take me there quickly."
An Wan nodded solemnly; they had to go up the mountain today.
Because last night she heard Yunping say that the three Lu brothers were going back to school this afternoon.
She wanted to catch a pheasant or rabbit or something, kill and cook them, and bring them to school to improve their meals.
I heard that Lu Jingxing is a senior high school student who will take the national college entrance examination in June. It's already early April, but judging from his thin appearance, I know that Lu has been eating poorly lately and he can't get any nutritious food at school.
Lu Chunhe is a student with a special talent for sports. He exercises for one or two hours almost every day, and has lost a lot of weight.
Lu Jingming, an art student, often skipped breakfast and went hungry for long periods in order to buy expensive paints.
He looked very unwell, pale and weak.
Therefore, she wanted to do everything in her power to improve the current situation of the Lu family.
But it's difficult to start a business without capital.
Lu Zhili, carrying a bamboo basket and holding a machete, led the way.
An Wan followed behind him, slowly climbing up a large mountain.
This mountain is called Immortal Mountain. It is said that hundreds of years ago, someone saw an immortal in the mountain, so the story was passed down and became known as Immortal Mountain.
Although the mountain is over a hundred meters high, it is not steep or dangerous. There is only one path leading up the mountain, which is not too difficult to walk.
The mountain is covered with lush trees, and the calls of many kinds of birds can be faintly heard.
Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, An Wan and Lu Zhili encountered two middle-aged women who were also preparing to climb the mountain.
"Silly boy, what are you doing up the mountain? Chopping wood?"
"Look, this is the ugly duckling adopted by the Lu family. He's so ugly."
"This is the first time I've seen it. I've only heard you guys talk about it before, but I didn't realize it really is this ugly."
"I wasn't wrong, was I? I'm not one to gossip, everything I said is true, and you still don't believe me."
Two middle-aged women were pointing at An Wan and gossiping about her, which infuriated Lu Zhili.
"You're ugly! You're the ugliest bad guys!"
