Chapter 6

Xia Wanyue touched her head and replied: "It's too cold in the house. My sister went out to collect some firewood to keep warm."

Xia Wanxing's tangled little face wrinkled up, and finally she clenched her little fists and said, "No, my mother told me to keep an eye on you. If my sister feels cold, Xing'er can go out to collect firewood!"

Xia Wanyue couldn't help but held the hand of her six-year-old sister and glanced at Shen's side.

It happened that Mrs. Shen and her younger brother Xia Wanyang were cleaning up debris on the other side of the house, so they couldn't see her.

Xia Wanyue rolled her eyes and started to lie: "Mother just asked you to take good care of me, she didn't say you wouldn't let me go out, right? If Xing'er is worried, you can go out with me."

Xia Wanxing hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay then."

...

After picking up a bunch of dead branches along the foot of the mountain, Xia Wanyue asked her sister to wait there for a while and said she would go and pick up some more.

In fact, she deliberately avoided her sister and wanted to enter the space to pick some vegetables.

Xia Wanyue pinched a handful of green vegetables in the space and told her sister that she found them while collecting firewood.

"Wow, sister is so awesome. This green vegetable looks tender and tender. It must be delicious." My sister said happily.

When she took the vegetables and firewood and took her sister back to the thatched house.

It happened that Xia Guangzong came back from borrowing a ladder from the village chief's house, carrying two wild rabbits and some sweet potatoes.

Xia Guangzong saw Xia Wanyue carrying a pile of firewood from a distance, and quickly stepped forward to take the firewood from behind his daughter, his tone full of doubts and worries.

"Yue'er, you're still sick, why did you and Xing'er go out to collect firewood?"

Xia Wanyue obediently lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Dad, it was me who secretly took my sister out to collect firewood while my mother wasn't paying attention. I know I was wrong and I won't dare to do it next time."

"You girl!" Xia Guangzong was angry and distressed. "From now on, I will leave these jobs for dad to do. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body!"

He was angry that he was incompetent and felt sorry for his daughter who still had to go out to collect firewood when she was sick.

Xia Wanyue nodded. Seeing that Xia Guangzong was suddenly depressed, she changed the subject, pointed at the rabbit and sweet potato in Xia Guangzong's hand and asked, "Dad, where did the rabbit and sweet potato come from?"

Xia Guangzong handed a rabbit to Xia Wanyue and replied with a smile: "I borrowed the sweet potato from the village chief, and I found the rabbit in a trap I set on the mountain when I came back."

Xia Wanyue praised in surprise: "Dad! You can also lay traps?! So awesome!"

Xia Guangzong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when his daughter praised him, and told her how good he was at hunting.

"What's so difficult about making traps? Your father and I learned how to do it from the old hunters in the village when we were ten years old! We even caught a big wild boar once..."

...

After returning to the thatched house, Mrs. Shen realized that Xia Wanyue and Xia Wanxing had actually gone to the mountains to collect firewood.

She, who has always been gentle and timid, angrily stretched out her hand to pinch Xia Wanyue's ears for the first time.

"You took your sister to the mountains to collect firewood before you recovered. Have you ever thought about what your father and I would do if something happened to you?"

Xia Wanyue quickly admitted her mistake, holding Shen's hand and acting coquettishly: "Mom, don't be angry with your daughter! I just found a lot of wild green vegetables when my sister and I were collecting firewood at the foot of the mountain!"

With that said, she quickly handed the vegetables she quietly took out from the space to Shen.

Xia Guangzong also spoke for Xia Wanyue: "Lanniang, don't be angry. I just went to look at the trap on the mountain and found that two wild rabbits fell into it."
