Village Chief Lu, whose right hand was wrapped in cloth, smiled kindly at Yu Hongyan and said, “Did they delay things? I’m really sorry, but the Zheng family has a lot of things to do. If you have something to do, you can go ahead. You can just leave Jiang Yue here, we’ll all help you look after her.”
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were speechless.
After Yu Hongyan left, before Xue Yan could say anything, Village Chief Lu urged, “Xue Yan, quickly bring Jiang Yue in. They should be done quarreling soon.”
Xue Yan had no choice but to lead Jiang Yue into the central room.
Jiang Yue felt that it was really difficult to go out without garnering suspicion.
Jiang Yue accepted her fate and was no longer in a hurry to go to the mountains.
They quarreled for a while before the Zheng family finally quieted down. Zheng Da, the grandfather of the family, finally gave in and didn’t give his favorite son a lot of money. It wasn’t until he pressed his thumbprint on the document that this family’s matter was finally settled.
Xue Yan brought Jiang Yue home.
Jiang Yue returned to her room and took out the wooden stick that she sharpened the day before. She was ready to go deep into the mountains.
However, as soon as he left the room, she saw Xue Yan running out of his room.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yue asked.
“Wufu’s bow and arrows are gone.” Because he felt uneasy, he didn’t rush to the wasteland to take a look. Instead, he went back to the house to see if the bow and arrow his brother earned were still there. As expected, they were gone. “He definitely came back to get them.”
“Then he should be in the mountains by now.” Jiang Yue was extremely calm. “Wait for me at home. I’ll go into the mountains now.”
......
Knowing that she could deal with the blind bear, Xue Yan didn’t stop her. Instead, he found a chopper and said, “I’ll go with you too.”
“Alright…”
If they wanted to enter the mountains, they had to first cross the much smaller mountain in front of them, which was the mountain they were going to open up.
After going up the mountain, there were many small paths because people often came to the mountain where the wasteland was being explored. The two of them quickly crossed the mountain and came to the foot of the neighboring mountain.
Other than hunters, almost no one would come to this mountain.
Hunter Wu usually hunted in this mountain.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had never been here before, so they were not familiar with the area. Naturally, they didn’t know where Hunter Wu would usually go when he enters the mountain. They stood at the foot of the mountain and couldn’t see the way in.
He had no choice but to fumble around. Xue Yan used a chopper to cut down the grass and trees that were blocking the way. He moved forward slowly while shouting for Wufu.
“Wufu! Where are you!”
“Wufu!”
If Wufu knew that they had come to find him, he would definitely be worried about the two children being in the deep mountains and would definitely make them go home.
Jiang Yue followed behind Xue Yan. Due to her small size and the tall and wild vegetation at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yue could almost not be seen.
In front of them, Xue Yan could be seen cutting the grass and trees blocking the way with a chopper. Because of his limited strength, they were almost still in the same place after a long time.
“Let me do it.” Jiang Yue pulled him back.
Xue Yan was also afraid of delaying things, so he immediately handed her the chopper when she offered.
When Jiang Yue took it, she also gave him the sharpened wooden stick in her hand.
It was Jiang Yue’s turn to make a path.
Jiang Yue bent down and slashed.
Every slash cut down the grass and trees that were in their way.
Xue Yan stood behind her. Although he had a premonition of who she was, he still kept silent.
In his previous life, he had been studying all the time and had barely done any heavy or light work. Later on, he became the top scholar and entered the Hanlin Academy. He never once had to do any heavy lifting so he actually did not know what to do.
