The Mo family members walk very fast because Su Nanxi is leading the way. She is used to walking fast, so those behind her have to keep up quickly, otherwise they might disappear from sight!
So, the Mo family gradually got used to walking fast, and it has to be said that they really did develop speed!
Cao Erdan had to jog to keep up!
Fortunately, he's just a tree monkey, full of energy, good at jumping and leaping, and walking a little faster—that's perfectly normal!
Cao Erdan didn't lose him; he followed him from a short distance.
But the Liang sisters were different. One was that they were not familiar with the mountains, and the other was that they were not fast enough to keep up with the group!
The mountains are full of trees and flowers, and you might be led astray or even go the wrong way if you turn around!
Su Nanxi hadn't expected that there would be two groups of people following them today.
Instead of going directly to the vegetable garden, she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and make traps to catch wild animals.
Cao Erdan followed them simply to get some food. All she could offer were eggs and rabbits; she couldn't possibly give them anything bigger!
We can't spoil people. Small favors are easy to do; they can get them out of a predicament without making them think too much or letting their desires grow!
Besides, she was only helping Cao Erdan; she didn't care about anything else!
Cao Erdan didn't rush forward either, but instead started digging for wild vegetables while keeping an eye on the situation at the Mo family's place!
With his abilities, the chances of him catching wild animals and finding eggs are very small!
Do you really think those wild animals are stupid, that they'd be so easily caught by humans? What are you thinking!
It's normal that he can't catch wild animals, given how many people in the village struggle to do so. Only the Mo family can catch them, which means they must have a method or they're just very lucky!
Cao Erdan understood perfectly well that the Mo family wouldn't give him any large wild animals; he would be happy to get some small ones and wouldn't ask for more!
He's already quite satisfied as long as he gets a taste of meat and his stomach isn't empty!
Sigh! He was too embarrassed to tell anyone that he hadn't eaten for two days and was starving. He felt he wouldn't be able to get up if he didn't find something to eat soon.
Why else? It's all because of his mother, she's always causing trouble!
They don't put any effort into managing the family's fields. They don't care about weeding or fertilizing. I don't know if they forgot or don't know how, but they just don't take good care of them!
His mother still thought it was like before, when the weather was good and there was no need to plant anything to get a good harvest. This year the weather has changed, and she will have to take better care of the plants to get a good harvest!
Seeing that other people's harvest was good, while his own was no good, his mother started cursing again!
Is it useful to blame others when you do nothing yourself?
With a poor harvest, there's not enough to feed our family of several mouths!
Not enough to eat, his mother came up with another trick: eat sparingly, just a bowl of rice porridge a day, and endure it day after day!
He's so angry!
What good is that bowl of clear soup? It'll be gone in one pee!
He used to grow some crops with the Mo family, such as sweet potato vines, corn, and peppers. If they grew well, his family could sell them for some money. But his mother ruined them all, and they couldn't even afford to compensate the other party!
It's all because he and Liu Jingqiu stole the villagers' crops!
He was severely punished by the village chief according to the village rules, and his family really lost everything!
He also has a younger sister who is starving and tears are streaming down her face, but she doesn't dare to cry out loud for fear of being beaten by her mother!
He'd really had enough. His family, which was perfectly fine, was now on the verge of collapse because of his mother's antics!
There used to be families in the village worse off than theirs, but they were hardworking and didn't cause trouble. Now they are much better off than theirs, they have food, they don't go hungry, and they can even make money!
They're probably the worst off in the village. Everyone else is doing better and better, but their situation is getting worse and worse!
His sister was so hungry she could barely get out of bed. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have had the nerve to ask the mute woman for help. He had his pride too!
He knew very well what his mother had done, but he was powerless to change it!
well!
Is this something a child like him should have to endure?
Fortunately, the mute woman was kind-hearted and didn't hold it against him; otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do!
After the Mo family finished catching the wild animals, he went over and saw a rabbit and a small pile of eggs left in the haystack. He instantly burst into tears!
Afraid the rabbit would escape, he didn't bother wiping his tears, letting them flow freely. He hurriedly ran over, caught the rabbit, tied its legs, put it in his basket, and finally carefully packed the eggs into a patched cloth bag.
He learned this from the Mo family. Seeing that they all had a cloth bag hanging on their bodies, which looked very convenient, he found a pile of scraps of cloth. He didn't know how long he had collected them; they were yellowed and smelly, but he didn't mind and sewed them up himself.
It's just a cloth bag anyway, so you can just sew it up. It doesn't need to be fancy, as long as it works!
He always carries it on his body, which is really convenient. Now he can use it to store eggs!
I counted them, there were seven of them!
This is a very precious item!
He used to be able to eat one from time to time, but that was a long time ago. Now, seeing it, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He was so tempted!
Cao Erdan said "thank you" to the Mo family members, then excitedly went back carrying the wild vegetables and eggs.
His sister is waiting for him at home, he needs to go back quickly!
When Cao Erdan came out to the main intersection, he happened to run into the Liang sisters who had taken the wrong turn. He glanced at them, didn't say a word, and hurried away.
What's there to say? We're not even that close!
They're not even relatives of theirs. They already have one less person to take care of, yet they're meddling in other people's business. They're being too presumptuous!
We're all so down on our luck, no one can help anyone else, so isn't it better if we don't know each other?
Cao Erdan was thinking about his sister and was eager to get back, so he naturally had no time to pay attention to anyone else.
However, the Liang sisters paid close attention to him because they saw Cao Erdan return with a full load of goods!
The basket seems a bit heavy to carry; there must be something inside!
Wild things!
This thrilled the Liang sisters so much that they almost jumped for joy, as if it were their own!
Liang Hua was overjoyed and grabbed Liang Li's hand, saying, "Sister! We really can catch wild animals! If a little kid can do it, we definitely can too! And sister, did you notice what's in the bag that kid's holding? It looks like eggs! Round ones, one by one, they must be bird eggs if they're not chicken eggs!"
Liang Li saw it clearly too; how could she not know? But she was calmer and more composed, and didn't shout like Liang Hua.
Suddenly, he thought of something and made a quick decision. He grabbed Liang Hua and ran in the direction Cao Erdan had just come from.
Confused, Liang Hua followed along, asking, "Sister, where are we going?"
Liang Li didn't turn around. "Are you stupid? Of course we're going to see where they hunt wild animals!"
Check if anything is missing!
They wanted to pick them up too!
But when they arrived at the destination, they were stunned.
Have we gone to the wrong place?
