Then, feeling the benefits of cotton-padded clothes, the old man took out the seeds in the firewood shed to dry them without any delay. He prepared to put them away when they were completely dry.

When the flowers bloomed, I saw the uncontrollable smiles on the faces of my family, and I knew it was done, and I couldn't help but feel happy.

Although it is full of loopholes, who makes her family willing to pamper her and believe in her?

This feeling is...good, it couldn't be better.

Ke La was extremely sad. After eating in the morning, Hua Jin was stopped by her grandfather.

"Jin'er, take your father up the mountain later and think carefully to see if you can still find the place where you picked the white dumplings yesterday."

After much consideration, the old man still couldn't bear to waste it since he still had flowers, so he decided to let his son go with his granddaughter again.

"White dumpling? That's what you named it, grandpa." Hua Jin looked at grandpa with interest.

The name Grandpa gave me... is really... haha... so cute.

Countless caricatures of white dumplings automatically appeared in Hua Jin's mind, and all of them were cute and cute.

"Cough..." The old man couldn't help coughing when his granddaughter asked him something.

"I called you casually" is obviously trying to cover up.

The name Baituanzi is indeed not solemn enough.

"Master, how about I give him a name too." Hua Jin pretended not to see the embarrassment on her grandfather's face but still said happily.

Old Man Hua nodded, his embarrassment faded away.

"Ah! Yes!" Hua Jin clapped her hands and shouted after thinking for a while.

"This thing makes cotton clothes so warm. It grows in clusters like flowers. Otherwise, let's call it cotton. What do you think?"

Although he was lazy and stole a modern name, it is still much better than the soft and cute name of Baituanzi, Hua Jin thought while holding back a smile.

It's just a name. You can call your granddaughter whatever she likes. Naturally, Old Man Hua didn't have any objections and nodded.

"Okay, you will take your father to find cotton later." Old man Wang got back to his business and was almost led into a ditch by his granddaughter again.

A flash of regret flashed in Hua Jin's eyes. Do we still have to go?

But then I thought about it, there was nothing wrong with it, so I took my dad around for a while, and maybe I could catch some pheasants and hares. Yesterday, she was provoked by many pheasants and hares!

Then... let's take revenge today!

Thinking of this, he nodded immediately, but he still had to mentally prepare his grandfather and father first.

"Master, I'm not sure I can take him to a place. Don't be disappointed later!"

"I'm not disappointed. If you really can't remember it, don't overthink it. Be careful and don't give me a headache again."

Thinking of his granddaughter's previous injury, the old man quickly added another sentence.

"I am coming too."

Xiaosi was already ready to make a move, so he took the opportunity to intervene quickly.

"Sister, I'm going too. If I can help you get things and run errands, take me with you!"

The little guy knew the most useful person to talk to. He ran to his sister's side and looked at her to please her and looked at her hopefully.

Hua Jin ignored it and looked at her father. With her father here, it was not her turn to make the decision. At most, she could just say good things about her brother if she didn't make trouble and her father refused.

Furthermore, Xiaosi ran around the village all day long, and he stayed out for half a day or even longer. He might have climbed mountains many times before they knew it, and he wouldn't follow them if they didn't let him, so it was better to take it easy.

Hua Chengtian looked at his younger son seriously. He did not refuse but made three rules. In short, he was obedient, not allowed to run around, and he must follow these closely.

Who makes this child as naughty as a monkey? If he lets it go, he will not be able to control it. Unlike in the village where he can let loose freely, he will still run into danger if he is not careful. As a father, it is better to be more careful.

As long as I can go out, it's fine. Xiaosi doesn't care about any agreement, he just nods.

Her head shook like a rattle, which made Hua Jin's hands itch.

Then Hua Chengtian took a hoe and a machete from the woodshed, carried a basket on his back, and set off with his son and daughter who were ready.

Xiaosi was a little excited. There were many opportunities to go up the mountain secretly, but this was the first time that he could go up the mountain with his father and sister. The little guy kept chattering along the way.

Hua Jin's smile never broke during the whole trip. Although she chatted a bit too much, it was undeniable that having her there was really a lot of fun.



"Sister, do you remember where you went?"

The chatty little boy started again. This sentence has almost become his mantra after going up the mountain, and he will ask it every other time.

Hua Jin's ears were almost calloused from listening to this. Hua Jin was too lazy to pay attention to her chatty brother.

"Dad, go this way" Hua Jin pointed in a direction.

The general direction was where she went yesterday, but slightly off.

I've been walking around with my father and Xiaosi for a while, but I can't keep wandering around like this. I'm not willing to go back to Huajin empty-handed after going up the mountain.

...A lot of pheasants and hares were found here yesterday.

"Sister, think about it carefully and don't look back again..."

Xiaosi still couldn't hold back and started again, and then decisively gave in under the fists waved by his sister.

Well, he is a man, and he cannot have the same experience as a little girl.

It's definitely not because his sister's fist is harder than his.

This time, she really stopped wandering around. Hua Jin walked towards the place where she found pheasants and hares yesterday.

Sudden……

Hua Chengtian, who was walking in the front to protect his two children, suddenly stopped, and before Hua Jin could react, he pulled her and Xiaosi to hide behind the strongest tree.

"Dad...how..."

"Shhh" Hua Chengtian made a gesture of silence and looked at the front covered by weeds and trees with a solemn expression.

After all, Hua Jin was older, and her father's tense body and solemn expression clearly indicated that something was wrong, and it might still bring danger.

She couldn't help but become nervous, and quietly took out a dagger from the space and hid it in her cuff.

Hua Chengtian was very anxious at the moment. He was tall, so he could see far away. In addition, he had experience hunting in the mountains, so he was quite experienced. So he knew it when he saw the weeds about half a man high shaking violently. Something big might be coming.

But at this time, it was already too late to turn around and leave with the child. He only had time to hide behind the tree, but he didn't dare to make any big moves, hoping that there were just some kind-hearted herbivores behind the grass.

Hua Chengtian clenched the machete in his hand, his whole body tensed, and his eyes stared not far ahead.

But he is always afraid of what will come. When he saw the long mouth protruding from the grass and the fangs several inches long, Hua Chengtian broke out in cold sweat. He involuntarily hugged the two children tighter and held the machete. The veins in his hands were exposed from the exertion.

At this moment, he regretted it a little. They had been on the mountain for a while. Since they didn't find it, they should have taken the child down the mountain instead of trying again and again.

All said and done, I was still lucky. I felt that this place was not far from the foot of the mountain, and ferocious beasts and other ferocious animals generally would not appear here.

But... now it's too late to regret it, and my body can't help but become even more tense.

The tension was so tight that even Xiaosi, who was carelessly burying his head next to his father, noticed the difference at this moment and did not dare to move as he was aware of the danger.

Hua Jin also gasped when she saw the long pig's mouth and tusks.

"Hiss" Hua Jin's eyes widened.

Hua Jin has never seen wild boar, an extremely lethal animal, with his own eyes, but it is often seen on video and TV.
