"Well, we've seen the house. Now, I'll take you home."
"Next door to our right is the home of Auntie Lan whom you just met. She is the wife of my group leader. When I go out on a mission in the future, I will ask her to help take care of you. If I am not at home, you can always go to them if you need any help. When I come back, I will visit them in person and express my gratitude. You don't need to be afraid of disturbing them."
Leng Mohan explained to her. Luo Jiaojiao also noticed that the yard on the left was overgrown with weeds and it was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
"There is an open space at the back, which is directly connected to the mountains." Luo Jiaojiao observed that there was a small backyard behind the house. Through the yard, her sight could extend to the mountains in the distance.
She discovered this later, but the lighting was not very good, so it was not suitable for growing flowers.
Leng Mohan followed Luo Jiaojiao's gaze and saw an open area with only the backyard wall appearing particularly tall.
He comforted her softly, "Don't worry. There is a solid stone wall ten meters away from the back wall, which is enough to keep out wild animals in the mountains. Before winter comes, we will organize an expulsion operation to ensure that the wild animals in the mountains dare not approach."
"As for the wolves, they won't come down to harass us." Leng Mohan mistakenly thought that Luo Jiaojiao was afraid of the wild animals in the mountains.
Luo Jiaojiao's curiosity was aroused, and she asked, "Can we go explore the mountains behind? I heard that there are lush wild grasses and delicious mushrooms in the mountains, and you may even encounter pheasants and rabbits. These are what my grandparents told me, but I have never experienced them myself."
She looked at Leng Mohan expectantly, hoping that he could give her a positive answer.
Leng Mohan keenly caught the curiosity and desire flashing in Luo Jiaojiao's eyes, and he asked softly: "Do you really want to go and see it?"
He went on to explain: "You can find wild grass at the foot of the mountain, but if you want to hunt, like pheasants and rabbits, you have to go deep into the mountains. But it's more dangerous there because there are wild boars."
"I will organize an activity to go into the mountains in a few days. Since we have moved here, I have to treat everyone to a meal. Then, we can hunt some game. I will also introduce you to everyone so that everyone can get to know you."
Leng Mohan said to Luo Jiaojiao, "If you are interested, I can take you with me, but you must follow closely behind me and ensure safety."
"Will you go with me?" Leng Mohan looked at her, his tone revealing a hint of concern. He knew very well that as long as he was there, she would be fine. Even if he himself got into trouble, he would do his best to protect her.
"Can I go with you?" Luo Jiaojiao was full of anticipation, but she was also afraid that she would become a burden to him. She wanted to be with him, but she was afraid of causing him unnecessary trouble.
"You really won't cause me any trouble." Leng Mohan shook his head gently, trying to dispel her concerns. His eyes were full of determination and trust, "You just need to follow me, I will take good care of you."
"Then... I want to go." Luo Jiaojiao's voice revealed a hint of hesitation, but also full of anticipation.
"I can help you dig wild vegetables, but... you may need to teach me how to identify wild vegetables first. I'm not quite sure which ones are edible." Her words were full of apology and uneasiness.
