"Yes, little sister, I'll agree to anything you ask, as long as you teach me." No matter what she said, Lu Zhili believed her completely.
"Alright, I'll teach you when I have time. You're not allowed to tell anyone about me hunting pheasants. Only you and I know, okay?"
"Mmm, I know, I know."
Having received his promise, An Wan smiled brightly; after all, he was her business partner.
Although it's impossible to hide it forever, delaying it a little longer will make it easier for her to get things done.
Only when she is strong enough to protect herself and is certain that she can trust the Lu family members will she possibly tell them her secret.
Otherwise, she would rather keep her secret to herself.
Even if the Lu family members are of good character, she couldn't guarantee they wouldn't betray her if she revealed her secret too early.
After all, her past experiences have made it impossible for her to wholeheartedly trust anyone.
All she needs now are partners, because a balanced relationship can only be maintained in the long run if both parties share common interests.
As Lu Zhili tossed the three pheasants into the bamboo basket on his back and prepared to descend the mountain with An Wan, a gray figure suddenly rushed over. Before they could even see what kind of animal it was, they were startled and scrambled to the sides.
With a "bang," the little gray animal crashed into the large rock behind them.
An Wan was speechless at the sight before her.
I just said the pheasant died after running into a rock, and now a rabbit has actually run into a rock.
Is her mouth a jinx?
ah!
Pah!
That can't be!
It seems her words have been a lesson learned, and things are turning out for the better.
"Ahhh—"
Lu Zhili was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Could this be what my brother meant by "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump"?
The rabbit really did run into it on its own.
Are you waiting for him to pick it up and eat it?
"Fifth Brother, calm down, calm down, it's nothing." An Wan comforted Lu Zhili, guessing that this kind of thing might happen again in the future.
She walked to the big rock, bent down and picked up the rabbit that had hit the rock and was still barely alive.
I weighed it carefully, and it should be three or four pounds.
What a fat rabbit!
This is a treat for us!
Are you making spicy rabbit meat?
Stir-fried rabbit meat?
Or braised rabbit?
With her mind filled with images of bunnies, An Wan's mouth watered.
Yesterday we ate fish and shrimp. It was only because we used rapeseed oil when cooking the vegetables that they had a meaty aroma, which barely made us feel full and juicy.
But now there's a fat rabbit.
There's plenty of oil in it; you can make a big bowl of oil even without using vegetable oil to fry it.
She could feel her stomach rumbling with hunger.
"Little sister, it's a rabbit! How did it run into the rock?" This time, Lu Zhili's focus was a little more normal.
"Hmm? I don't know either. Maybe it was running too fast and couldn't stop, so it crashed into the rock. Wasn't that rabbit trying to run into us? It must have been running too fast."
Anwan's flimsy excuse.
Anyway, she couldn't figure out why the rabbit had run into the rock and died. As long as there was meat to eat tonight, that was enough for her.
Three pheasants and one rabbit.
Today we ate one pheasant and one rabbit, and gave the remaining two pheasants to the three Lu brothers to take to school.
Hmm, that's a great idea.
With a smile, An Wan tossed the rabbit into the bamboo basket on Lu Zhili's back with ease.
"Oh, the rabbit ran too fast and crashed into a rock and died. Hmm, that's what I'll tell my parents later."
He shook his head and nodded, his face sometimes showing a serious expression and sometimes a smile.
This time, a wild rabbit really did run into the rock; it wasn't that he went looking for small animals.
They probably won't be angry with him anymore.
Last night before going to bed, his father caught him and gave him a good scolding.
If I found out today that he took his sister up the mountain to find food again, I would definitely beat him to death.
"Don't worry, Fifth Brother, I'll speak up for you and promise I won't let Dad punish you." He was left to take the blame.
Once you've memorized it once, you won't care about memorizing it a second or third time.
The more you carry, the less you worry about debts, and the more carefree you feel.
An Wan covered her mouth with a mischievous smile, her eyebrows curving like the crescent moon in the sky, making her exceptionally cute.
