Chapter 16 Going Up the Mountain to Dig for Vegetables



Yingbao resignedly replied, "I ate it in my dream."

"Little sister, what did you see? Did it taste sweet or salty? Yingbao, your third brother wants to have the same dream as you, so please tell me!"

Dude, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's just that I'm out of supplies too. If I had known I'd be time-traveling on the tenth day, I would have definitely gone to buy a whole sack of them first. One wrong step and you're doomed!

"Brother, I forgot too. Let's not talk about it anymore. Weren't we going up the mountain to pick mushrooms and collect bird eggs to cook? Let's hurry up and go, or it'll get dark soon." After saying that, Yingbao went to the yard to get a small shovel and a basket, and pulled her third brother along as they ran towards the foot of Jingning Mountain.

Xiao Mingchen was a beat slow to react, but his feet moved uncontrollably and he and Yingbao started running wildly!

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Yingbao said to her third brother, Ye Mingchen, "Brother, let's split up! It's too much trouble for the two of us to be together. I'll call you if anything goes wrong, brother."

To everyone's surprise, Ye Mingchen shook his head so hard he almost shook it like a rattle drum, refusing to agree no matter what. He said that his brothers had repeatedly told him to keep a close eye on him in the fields and not to leave his sight for even a moment. If he got hurt, not only would his father beat him to a pulp, but they would also make him "really suffer the consequences."

There's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time. The two little ones were lying there, their bottoms sticking up and wiggling as they dug for wild mustard greens. They were so cute! I really wanted to steal them back! Unfortunately, that's impossible. It's just a thought.

Xiao Yingbao suddenly remembered, "Brother, I'm going to pee over there." Xiao Mingchen looked up at the spot Yingbao was pointing to, which was about thirty meters away. He nodded and continued to squat down and dig, like an emotionless machine.

While using the restroom, Xiao Yingbao put down her small basket and quickly took out more than ten eggs from her spatial storage and put them in the basket. Then she took out two pheasants from her spatial storage and used a rabbit to pretend that they had been knocked unconscious by running into a tree. After calming herself down, she took small steps to Xiao Ge's side, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Brother, come with me over there." Although most of the villagers were working in the fields and no one had time to go up the mountain, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Ye Mingchen, the third brother, is a doting brother to his sister. He usually does whatever she asks without hesitation, except when specifically instructed by the family.

As soon as Yingbao finished speaking, Ye Mingchen immediately went over. He then saw the scene before him and asked in surprise, "Yingbao, what happened?"

Yingbao: "Brother, I'm not really sure either. I just relieved myself not far from him, and when I looked up after I finished, I saw the rabbit and chicken that had been hit by a tree. It seems like we were destined to meet."

The courier said, "It's getting late. Let's quickly dig up some vegetables and grass to cover the chickens and rabbits in the basket, so that no one sees them on the way back and tries to take advantage, and then they spread the word." Yingbao thought to herself, "My courier finally wasn't as smart as I suggested. Good thing!"

The young man and Yingbao squatted down and continued digging. When they finished, they realized—oh no! Grandma and the others had decided to go home. The two hurriedly grabbed their small baskets and shovels and ran down the village with difficulty. Just as they entered the village, they ran into Grandma, Dad, and their brother, who hadn't even had time to change their clothes after work.

Seeing that the two appeared unharmed, the tension in their hearts eased considerably. They then took the baskets from Yingbao and Ye Mingchen, each carrying one home.
