Chapter 26 Reporting with the family
An Guoming stopped asking and went home with An Ning. For the first time, he walked faster than An Ning and was the first to rush into the yard.
An Ning in the back, looking at An Guoming's cheerful figure, felt the urge to conduct experiments and analyze data. It turns out that liking something can really stimulate the rise of human hormones and stimulate the body's potential.
She quickened her pace and entered the yard, thinking about washing up and going back to the house to rest, but An Sancheng called her away.
In the west room of the main room, a dim kerosene lamp was lit, and the smell of burning kerosene floated in the air. An Sancheng sat cross-legged on the kang.
"You want to make money with your second brother?"
"yes."
"Um."
An Sancheng didn't ask why. After all, who doesn't want to make money?
He asked An Guoming, who was standing on the ground, "Second brother, I don't care how you two make money, but I tell you, don't touch An Ning's dowry money."
"An Ning, did you hear that you are not allowed to touch the money at the bottom of the box?"
"My money is not hidden under the box."
In one sentence, all three people looked at him, and An Sancheng even hissed eagerly and quietly.
"What are you talking about? As long as you know this, don't talk about it."
After An Sancheng finished speaking in a low voice, he asked An Guoming: "What are you going to do with your little sister?"
"Dad, I want to hunt first. My little sister is very strong. She killed the pheasant last time with a branch. There is a shortage of meat in the town, and all kinds of meat sell quickly."
"No, I don't agree."
Lin Cuihua, who had been silent, said reluctantly: "I don't agree. Who knows what the situation is in the mountains. It's too dangerous. I don't agree."
An Sancheng sighed and said in a low voice for a while: "Your mother is right, there is danger on the mountain."
"Dad, I know, I can't make fun of my little sister's safety. If we don't go into the mountains, we'll just stay on the outside, hunting pheasants or something like that. I will never go inside, I can't do that."
An Guoming explained anxiously: "There are people going outside every day, so it should be fine."
An Sancheng said nothing, and neither did Lin Cuihua.
An Ning, who was standing at the door, understood that everyone was afraid of danger and did not want them to go up the mountain, but she knew that there was really no danger to her with mental strength on the mountain.
"Dad, I can go." An Ning took a step forward, a little closer to the kerosene lamp, with shadows flickering on his face.
"I will protect my second brother and let him come down the mountain alive." An Ning's assurance made the other three people's breathing weaken.
An Guoming didn't understand even more. Why did the words "descending the mountain alive" sound awkward?
An Sancheng also wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he thought about it for several minutes.
"Okay, let's try it first. If you can do it, do it. If you can't, don't be brave."
An Sancheng made up his mind, Lin Cuihua did not refute, but just told the two of them to pay attention to safety.
The kerosene lamp went out, An Ning left the west room and went to the yard to wash up briefly.
"Wow--"
A basin of water was poured in the yard. An Ning carried the basin into the house and looked at the big black pot on the left in trance.
She missed her interstellar bathtub.
It's been the third day since she came here, but she hasn't taken a shower yet.
An Ning opened the big iron pot, filled a basin of warm water, took it into her room, wiped herself with a towel, and took a bath.
After everything was sorted, An Ning went to sleep on the kang.
The warm quilt allowed An Ning to stretch her hands and feet comfortably, and the continuous warmth on her back made her fall asleep quickly.
The next morning, before dawn, An Ning got up.
She made an agreement with her second brother last night to go to the mountains to take a look this morning.
"Little sister, let's go."
"What's this?"
An Guoming was holding something that could emit light, and An Ning was a little curious.
"Flashlight, dad is usually reluctant to use it. He got it for me last night for us to use when we go up the mountain."
An Ning showed the flashlight to An Ning. An Ning took it, looked at the front, and unscrewed it from the back.
She already understands this principle, and if she has the materials on hand, she can make it.
"Come on, give this to the second brother, don't mess it up."
An Guoming stretched out his hand to take it, but An Ning changed his hand and said, "I'm afraid it might break, so it's better for me to hold it. I've seen my second brother walking, and the risk factor is not low."
"?"
An Guoming thought about it and realized that what the younger sister said seemed right.
"Okay, just hold it."
The two of them walked towards the mountain at a leisurely pace. An Guoming was very familiar with the outside of the mountain, and he took An Ning to a place and did not leave.
"There are a lot of weeds here, and it's not far from the river over there. Animals love this place the most."
An Ning didn't say anything, his mental power had already been deployed, and what the second brother said was true.
She turned around, handed the turned off flashlight to An Guoming, and said in a low voice: "Just squat here and don't move."
An Guoming nodded seriously, not daring to say anything.
An Ning stood up, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes, and walked towards one direction with a suppressed expression on his back.
Along the way, An Ning bent down several times and picked up something. An Guoming couldn't see clearly either. He only saw that after she walked for a while, she stretched out her hands and something shot out.
An Ning ran, reached the left first, and picked up a pheasant that had died.
An Guoming, who was behind, covered his mouth tightly and suppressed the urge to cheer. The little girl is so awesome.
Next, here is the peaceful performance venue.
These pheasants did not expect that even if they came out for a meal and a drink of water in the morning, they would be taken away from their nests.
An Ning shot a total of six pheasants, which was why she let two go on purpose. The teacher said that as long as it was not a matter of life and death, there should be some room left.
"Little sister, you are so awesome. What did you just throw?"
"Too accurate!"
"If this continues, we will make a lot of money!"
An Guoming's hair stood on end with excitement. After waiting for a while, An Ning said: "There will be no pheasants here tomorrow."
"ah?"
An Guoming, who was poured cold water on An Ning, gradually calmed down.
"The grass - it's growing well."
An Guoming changed his words in time and smiled at An Ning and said: "My little sister is right, this pheasant is not stupid either. I guess he won't be able to come here in the next few days."
"It's okay, the mountain is so big, let's move to another place."
An Ning looked at An Guoming with some suspicion and asked: "The grass is growing well, does it have something to do with the fact that the pheasants don't come?"
"have!"
An Guoming quickly turned on his brain and said to make amends: "Think about it, this piece of grass is so good, how can the pheasant be willing to abandon it? Sooner or later he will have to come back."
I have to say that An Guoming saved the situation well.
"Second brother is right."
An Ning nodded and asked, "When are we going to sell it? Will it delay my work?"
"Let's go sell it now. I'll borrow the bicycle. I'll be back soon."
An Ning agreed and went down the mountain with An Guoming, but she was at the entrance of the village, watching the pheasants waiting for An Guoming, who went to borrow a bicycle by himself.
It was easy to borrow and return the bicycle. An Guoming never returned the bicycle empty-handed, so he quickly rode his bicycle over.
An Ning saw an ox cart behind An Guoming. The old scalper had steam coming out of his nose, and he calmly and steadily passed An Guoming, who was riding a bicycle.
