57. Cotton

Then the old man who felt the benefits of cotton-padded clothes did not waste any time and immediately took out the seeds placed in the woodshed to dry, ready 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 there are many 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 the morning meal, 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 deliberation, 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 the name you gave it." Hua Jin looked at her grandfather 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! I have it." 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 I 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 had no objection 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, maybe we 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'll go 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, just take me with you!"

The little guy knew the most useful person to talk to. He ran to his sister 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, Xiao Si was running around the village all day long, and once he was out, he would be there for half a day or even longer. He might have climbed mountains many times without them knowing, and he would not follow them if they were not allowed to, so it was better to take it easy.

Hua Chengtian looked at his younger son seriously. He did not refuse, but he made a three-part agreement. 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, she just nods her head anyway.

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

Then Hua Chengtian took a hoe and a machete from the woodshed, carried a basket, and set off with his two children 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 stopped during the whole trip. Although she chatted a little too much, it was undeniable that she was really happy to have her there.



"Sister, do you remember where you went?"

The chatty little boy started again. This sentence almost became his mantra after going up the mountain, and he would ask the same question every now and then.

Hua Jin's ears were almost calloused when she heard it. Hua Jin was too lazy to pay attention to her chatty younger brother.

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

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

I have been walking around with my father and Xiaosi for a long time, 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.

... Yesterday we found a lot of pheasants and hares here.

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

Xiao Si 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 cannot be like a little girl.

It's definitely not because his sister's fists are harder than his.

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

Sudden……

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

"Dad...how..."

"Shhh" Hua Chengtian made a gesture not to speak, looking solemnly at the front covered by weeds and trees.

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 and could see far, and he also had the experience of hunting in the mountains. He was quite experienced, so he knew it when he saw the weeds about half a man tall shaking violently.

Maybe something big is coming.

But at this time, it was too late to turn around and leave with the child. We only had time to hide behind the trees, but we 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 due to exertion.

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

All said and done, I was just lucky. I thought this place was not far from the foot of the mountain, and ferocious animals such as wild beasts would generally 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 realized the danger and did not dare to move.

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

"Hiss" Hua Jin's eyes widened.
