When Liu Shile entered the bamboo house, she was somewhat surprised. The reason was simple: the interior of the bamboo house was spotless, as if someone lived there.
But she clearly didn't sense any signs of life!
"Is anyone home?" She thought for a moment, then asked directly instead of going into the next room.
Then he listened intently, and a minute later, the bamboo house was completely silent.
To be precise, she could hear the faint flapping of bees' wings outside and smell the fragrance of flowers drifting in, but she couldn't detect the presence of any living person.
She asked a couple more questions and waited a while, but still no one responded.
So, this is an uninhabited place?
But why is it so clean?
After thinking it over, Liu Shile decided to go and take a look elsewhere. In any case, she had already asked the question, and it wasn't her fault that no one answered.
So she strolled into the bamboo house. The bamboo house was very sturdy, completely different from the stilted house she had lived in before in Yudu. Stepping on it didn't make any noise.
However, there weren't many things in the bamboo house, just like an ordinary farmhouse, but with a rustic feel.
She saw the living room, study, kitchen, and an empty storeroom, as well as a bedroom that looked like the boudoir of an ancient aunt's family.
The bedroom has a bit more stuff, including an elegant dressing table and a delicate cantilevered bed.
On the dressing table sits a mirror that has been polished to a fine, smooth finish, reflecting every detail of a person's image.
Liu Shile raised an eyebrow. Based on her understanding of this era, such a thing shouldn't exist.
However, apart from these few items, there was nothing else in the room, and not a single clue about anything related to this place was left behind.
Liu Shile searched for the mechanism again, but unfortunately she couldn't find it.
Okay, this can be my secret base for the future. As for who built this place, who cares?
Thinking this, Liu Shile took out her plum blossom watch to check the time and found that it was already late. She picked a few bunches of grapes in the yard and returned the way she came.
The grapes in this yard are growing so well, each one big and round, they look so appetizing. She got some water from the farm, washed them clean, and popped them into her mouth.
I must say, they really are sweet, just as good as the grapes from her farm.
She popped grapes into her mouth as she walked back, and after returning to the cave, she restored the mechanisms in the courtyard to their original state.
As for the mechanisms inside the cave, she didn't restore them; she planned to 'accidentally' lead her second brother to discover the cave.
After all, there's a big kitchen there, and if my second brother knows about this place, he'll definitely find it useful in the future.
Having found a secluded paradise, Liu Shile was overjoyed. Humming an unknown tune, she strolled back, occasionally spotting a pheasant or rabbit without hesitation.
However, she didn't eat too much. As long as she gets enough nutrition, she doesn't need to eat a lot. Of course, she can eat more if she wants, since she won't gain weight no matter how much she eats.
She never expected that her second brother would not only come by himself, but also bring Wang Guangjie and Wang Guangying with him.
When Liu Shile returned, Liu Shihua and the other two had just arrived. Wang Guangying was somewhat surprised to see the pheasant and rabbit that Liu Shile was carrying.
Her eyes widened as she asked, "Lele, you, you, did you hit me?"
"Uh, I just dropped a few pebbles." Liu Shile couldn't really deny it, because they had small holes in their vital parts.
This made her want to tell a lie, but saying that they had crashed into each other and died was not an option, so this was the only thing she could say.
"Wow, Lele, you're really amazing! You managed to catch pheasants and rabbits with just pebbles. Does that mean you'll never have to worry about meat again?" Wang Guangying's eyes lit up as he looked at Liu Shile.
Liu Shile nodded. If they could hunt, they would naturally have plenty of meat to eat. However, they would be going to school soon.
Therefore, Liu Shile said coolly, "That's true, but we're going to study in the county."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guangying immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.
She rolled her eyes at Liu Shile, annoyed, and said, "Lele, can't you let me be happy for a little while longer? You're asking for it."
As he spoke, he actually reached out as if to hit her.
Liu Shile shoved the pheasant and rabbit into Ying'er's hands and said cheerfully, "Ying'er, you're a good cook, so you can handle these. You can decide how to eat them."
Liu Shile was more than happy to have someone cook, so she handed the task over immediately. It's a division of labor, right?
Wang Guangying glanced at the cheerful Liu Shile, then at the pheasant and rabbit in her hand, and said, "Lele, you've changed quite a bit."
She was definitely not referring to Liu Shile's appearance, but rather her style of handling things and her abilities.
Liu Shile wasn't afraid of this at all, and just shrugged, "Yeah, you've broadened your horizons outside, how could you not change a bit? Don't even mention me, my second brother has changed quite a bit too, Ying'er, haven't you noticed?"
Hearing her say that, Wang Guangying subconsciously nodded and said, "That's true. You and your brother have both changed quite a bit this time."
Liu Shile's heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she heard their conversation. Only when she realized that her sister hadn't been exposed did she realize that she had been too reckless this time.
That's why they're good friends. If it were anyone else, they would probably be even more suspicious of their own sister, right?
It seems I need to think twice before acting in the future, and I must not drag my sister into this just because I feel embarrassed.
Although his younger sister is capable, it's enough for him to know that. There's no need to expose her abilities to others, otherwise it might easily attract hatred.
Wang Guangjie glanced at his brothers, then at Liu Shile, whose changes were astonishing, and wondered to himself why their transformations were so dramatic.
Could it be true, as the ancients said, that traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books?
Shouldn't I also find time to go out and travel?
Forget it, he's their only son. If he wants to go out, his parents will definitely pull his ears. It's best not to challenge his parents' mental state.
The location Liu Shihua and her group chose was alright; there was a small river nearby with clear water, making it very convenient to wash things.
Wang Guangying started preparing the ingredients, while Liu Shile was also busy, playing in the water.
The two boys were very busy. They found stones to build a stove, gathered firewood, and took out the seasonings and pots and pans they had brought to cook rice.
Liu Shihua also took some time to buy some medicinal herbs for her sister to make medicinal cuisine. The quantity was small, but it was enough to help her sister improve her health.
The group was busy and chatting at the same time. As they talked, they started talking about what Liu Shihua and the others had seen and heard outside.
Liu Shile had no intention of hiding the fact that she had become an apprentice, so she told them what she could, which amazed Wang Guangjie and Wang Guangying.
