No matter what others think, Xiao Lingling is very happy eating.
After all, it would be a shame to waste such good venison, so he ate until his stomach was full and he felt like burping every time he spoke, which made the whole family laugh.
After dinner, the family sat under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air and discussed their next journey.
"Dad, we can actually leave tomorrow. Why don't we leave as early as possible? It's always better to leave early."
"Yes, Dad, I was thinking the same thing. My eldest brother was injured in his foot, but he has almost recovered now, so it won't affect his driving. I was injured in my left arm, and it's not serious, so it doesn't affect me at all.
My uncle was injured a little more seriously on his right arm, but he still has my cousin, so it shouldn't be a big deal."
Lin Changshu certainly knew what the children were thinking, but his opinion didn’t count in this matter.
Before he even opened his mouth, Zhao and Sun rejected him outright.
"All of you, be quiet. You're injured, but why are you still sobbing? Is it because your wounds don't hurt anymore? It's important to hurry on your way, but you can't be careless with your health either.
It would be troublesome if they really left a bad impression. Besides, we have a carriage, so even if they do catch up, it won't be a big deal. We can just find a way to overtake them later."
"That's right! You guys should stop worrying about it. We've only seen the three of them, the grandfather and the grandson, so far. We haven't seen anyone else since then, so there's no need to worry for now."
Anyway, the Zhao and Sun families formed a rare united front on this issue because they didn't want these grown men to take risks, so they refused to allow it no matter what. Everyone had no choice but to obey and didn't dare to bring it up again.
However, although they were not in a hurry, everyone was not idle. In fact, they had already dug up a lot of wild vegetables, but in order to store more, Sun specially found some stone slabs to dry some vegetables to take with them. Anyway, the sun is quite strong now, so it would be bad to waste them.
Little Lingling couldn't sit still anymore. She wanted to take this opportunity to get some pheasant eggs or something, so she turned her eyes and pulled her brothers to the foot of the mountain.
"Big brother, please read your book carefully. My second, third, fourth, and Ping brothers and I are going to dig wild vegetables. We will dig out your share as well."
Zhao knew that she must have some new ideas, but she was not worried anyway because Jin Bei was with her.
"Xiao Wen, don't worry about them. Just read your book. These naughty monkeys can't sit still for a moment. If you want to dig, go ahead. It's a good opportunity for us to get those remaining wild vegetables and sunburn them.
You wounded men, rest here for a while. The eldest brother's wife will wash their clothes. The second brother's wife, go find two sets of clothes and send them to Qiaomei and her brother. Their clothes are too torn to wear.
"Okay, I got it, Mom. Don't worry!"
Seeing that she was kind-hearted, Mrs. Sun wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she sighed. The two children were indeed a bit pitiful, so she didn't say much.
Xiao Lingdang led his brothers all the way to the foot of the mountain. Logically speaking, Jin Bei must be the one who knew best what good things there were in the mountains.
So she deliberately lagged behind her brothers by two steps, pulled Jin Bei to tinker with it in a low voice, and when she saw Jin Bei nod, her eyes lit up.
Lin Hao and his companions had no idea of her little thoughts. They really came out to dig wild vegetables. After finding a good place, they squatted down with a small hoe and prepared to dig.
Little Bell quickly came over and said, "Brother, we've already dug up a lot of these wild vegetables, but we'll get bored if we only eat one kind. How about this? You two can dig here, and Brother Three, let's take Jin Bei inside and see if there are any other wild vegetables, okay?"
The third brother was the one who had the best understanding with her among the brothers, and he was also the one who knew how to make money the best. As soon as he heard her name her, he knew that his younger sister was going to cause trouble, and before the second brother could say anything, he nodded directly.
"Yeah, I think that's true. Then, second brother, you can take the fourth brother and the others here. Jin Bei and I will be watching over my little sister. It's okay."
Lin Hao was not stupid. He knew at a glance what they were up to, but he also knew it was not a bad thing, so he did not stop them.
"You can go, but keep an eye on Little Bell. If she loses a hair, don't blame me for beating you up!"
After saying that, he raised his fist. Lin Ran curled his lips but did not refute. He snorted and followed Xiao Lingdang inside.
Lin Wu also wanted to follow his younger sister, because his younger sister was very lucky and could always find delicious food, but Lin Hao didn't want him to hold him back, so he stood in front of him.
"Don't look at it anymore. Just work hard. If there's anything good, I won't forget you."
Lin Wu was still very afraid of this second brother. When he hit someone, it really hurt. He could only nod unwillingly, "Okay."
Xiao Lingling was already having fun. Jinbei was very agile and could run very far in a few seconds, but he would accommodate Xiao Lingling and look back at her every two steps.
Seeing them walk so far inside, Lin Ran was a little nervous and scared. "Little sister, where are we going?"
Xiao Lingdang didn't know either. Anyway, she asked Jinbei if there were any delicious food or treasures on the mountain, and Jinbei nodded, so she didn't know where exactly they were.
But she was still very good at giving sugar-coated bullets. "Hey, Third Brother, we'll be there soon. Here, I'll give you some candy. Jinbei is very familiar with this mountain. We'll be there soon."
Lin Ran was somewhat speechless, but he still took it. Although he didn't like eating candy, he could save it and sell it. The candy his younger sister used was not the cheap malt sugar, it was still very expensive.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Jinbei finally stopped. However, the surroundings were so green that it was impossible to see where the treasure it was talking about was.
"Jin Bei, what is this treasure you're talking about?"
Jinbei rubbed his paws on the ground, pointed at the "weeds" next to him and howled twice, leaving Xiao Lingling dumbfounded.
"This, this is the treasure and delicious food you mentioned?" Xiao Lingling said in disbelief.
Jin Bei nodded in a serious tone, but Xiao Lingling was instantly shocked. She had been walking on her short legs for so long, her legs were almost broken, okay? And now she was told that this was delicious? She really wanted to eat wolf meat.
Jin Beike didn't know what she was thinking, but he shuddered for no reason.
Lin Ran wanted to laugh when he saw his little sister's expression of despair, but he was still kind.
"Ahem, it's okay. The wild vegetables here are pretty good. These dandelions and radix schizonepetae are pretty good. At least there are two more varieties!
Well, we've come so far, we can't go back empty-handed! Be good, give your basket to Brother San, and sit by for a while while I dig. It'll be full soon!
I have to say that Lin Ran still loves this little sister very much.
