Early the next morning, before dawn, Chiang Kaiwen, who had not slept the entire night but was still in high spirits, came to the yard to exercise her muscles and bones.

By the time Guo Caiyun woke up early to cook, she had already finished her exercise and had filled the two large vats in the yard with water.

Lin Family Village usually only provided water from five to seven thirty in the morning. Only in the winter, it was supplied water at noon. As for the rest of the time, there was no water on the tap water. Lin Fengmao's family filled two large vats with water every morning. All day long, they used the two vats to wash and cook.

Usually, this kind of heavy work would be handed over to Lin Fengmao, but today, it was done by Chiang Kaiwen.

Everyone liked hardworking children, and Guo Caiyun was no exception.

"Aiya, child, you are currently growing up, don't do such heavy work in the future. Just leave it to your uncle. "

Chiang Kaiwen wiped away the sweat on her forehead and said, "It's alright. It's also for the purpose of training my body."

The rural breakfast was very simple: a plate of pickled vegetables, a plate of mixed tofu, a few salted duck eggs, and steamed buns and rice porridge.

Originally, Lin Fengmao and Guo Caiyun were afraid that Chiang Kaiwen wouldn't like farm food, but who would have known that this child would actually eat so much? He ate three steamed buns and even drank half a pot of rice porridge.

Guo Caiyun was worried that she wouldn't be able to digest the food, but Lin Fengmao was happy instead, "Alright, this is how a man eats. Don't learn from your cousin, just eat a little bit and always say that you want to lose weight."

Guo Caiyun rolled her eyes at Lin Fengmao and said, "Wen, Aunt will go wash some hawthorn fruits for you in a while and help digest them."

Chiang Kaiwen did not refuse anyone. "Sure."

Seeing that Chiang Kaiwen was not shy at all, Guo Caiyun had always been open and straightforward. She became more and more fond of Chiang Kaiwen and happily washed the haw for her.

After the meal, Chiang Kaiwen then asked Lin Fengmao to find a house, "Uncle, I'll have to trouble you to do that. Money is not a problem."

"Sure." I'll go and find out for you in a bit. " Lin Fengmao agreed happily.

Although they had only known each other for less than a day, Lin Fengmao could already tell that although this child always had a smile on his face and was very easy-going when it came to dealing with people.

When Lin Fengmao left, Lin Jianmu came to find Chiang Kaiwen.

"Kaiwen, we will go to the mountains later to pick wild herbs. Do you want to go with us?"

Of course, Chiang Kaiwen was interested and headed there happily.

Before she could leave, she was stopped by Guo Caiyun. "Child, can you wear your clothes on the mountain? Nuo, these are your brother's old clothes. Wear these."

Chiang Kaiwen swapped to a basket from the kitchen and carried it on her back.

She was about to take another sickle, but she was stuck with a stick.

Other than Lin Jianmu, Chiang Kaiwen, there was also Lin Jianmu's good buddy Lin Kai.

Lin Kai had some objections to Lin Jianmu insisting on bringing Chiang Kaiwen along, but he didn't want to refute his bro by giving him some face. Thus, his expression changed a little.

Chiang Kaiwen didn't care. She wasn't someone who could make everyone like her, not to mention that some people didn't even like gold.

After greeting Lin Kai politely, Chiang Kaiwen quietly listened to Lin Jianmu give her some tips for entering the mountain.

In April, the forest was already full of greenery and flowers could be seen everywhere.

Lin Jianmu said, "Now is the best time to pick wild vegetables. This is shepherd's burrito and dumplings are the most delicious. "Choose the fresh ones, but don't let the blooming ones go, they are all old.

"This is mountain onion, just like wild onions. The method is pretty much the same as scallion. It's so fragrant to fry the meat, and you can even add medicine to it."

"This is horse-toothed food, you can either cook it or cook it. My dad likes it, but I don't like it."

"Look, this is ferns, my favorite. After boiling it in water, it will be mixed with water, and after sucking it, my saliva will be flowing out."

In addition to all kinds of wild vegetables, there were also mushrooms.

"Generally bright colored mushrooms are poisonous, I don't say that you should know. Non-poisonous mushrooms grew in grass and trees, especially pine trees, and most of the poisonous mushrooms grew in dark, damp places. Although the smell of the non-poisonous mushrooms is average, the smell of the poisonous mushrooms is very pungent … "

Although Lin Jianmu had introduced her to Chiang Kaiwen, he didn't leave her much time to pick them.

Chiang Kaiwen was certain that this brat didn't bring her here to pick wild vegetables, and she definitely had other intentions.

As expected, when they reached the mountainside, Lin Jianmu suddenly stopped and his voice became softer.

"I went up the mountain yesterday and found a nest of pheasants. I was by myself at that time, and I didn't have any tools at hand. It was late again, so I didn't scare the chickens. The two of you, cough cough, Lin Kai, be smart."

Lin Kai was dissatisfied, "On what basis are you calling me alone?"

Lin Jianmu stared at him, "Are you listening to me or are you listening to me?"

Lin Kai snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. Of all the people they grew up with, Lin Jianmu was the best at capturing pheasants and rabbits.

Seeing that Lin Kai had stopped talking, Lin Jianmu turned his head and smiled at Chiang Kaiwen, "Kaiwen, I'm counting on you."

That's right, the reason why Lin Jianmu dared to catch pheasants without any tools was because of Chiang Kaiwen.

Chiang Kaiwen looked at him helplessly and nodded.

Lin Kai snorted again.

The trio's footsteps became lighter. After searching for a while, they found the traces of the wild chicken and their footsteps became lighter.

Suddenly, Chiang Kaiwen's ears twitched as she looked in a certain direction.

Lin Jianmu focused part of his attention on her, and when he saw the situation, he immediately headed over there. He slowly pushed his way through the grass and saw a few pheasants pecking about.

Lin Jianmu suppressed his excitement and instructed softly: "Let's surround them from three sides. Lin Kai, you stay here. Kaiwen, you …. Kaiwen, what are you doing? "You …"

He saw Chiang Kaiwen pull out a slingshot from her dress — thanks to her cousin, whom she had found in his room; and a handful of gravel — thanks to the people who had built the house in the village, which she had grabbed from the pile of sand in front of their house.

Lin Jianmu wanted to stop Chiang Kaiwen from alerting him, but when he thought of what happened yesterday, he shut his mouth.

"Chiang Kaiwen, you don't know anything, don't mess around!"

Lin Kai reprimanded Chiang Kaiwen without any hesitation. If he caught the wild chickens today, he would have a share in it. If Chiang Kaiwen startled the chickens by shooting them with a slingshot, he would definitely be dissatisfied with the loss of his profits.

However, Lin Kai forgot to lower his voice. The moment he said that, it scared the pheasants on the other side and they all ran away.

Lin Jianmu glared fiercely at Lin Kai, while Lin Kai was also dumbfounded.

However, Chiang Kaiwen continued to move. She released, aimed, and fired. The rock shot missed.

When Lin Kai saw this scene, he came back to his senses and sneered incessantly. Lin Jianmu began to want to comfort the failed Chiang Kaiwen.

Chiang Kaiwen turned a deaf ear to his words. Once again, she saw that the pheasant, which was trying to escape with its wings spread out, was lying motionless on the ground.

Lin Kai sneered as his expression stiffened.

Lin Jianmu's eyes lit up and he applauded loudly!

The corner of Chiang Kaiwen's mouth curled up as her sense of touch returned. She shot out another stone, and the pheasant soared into the air and landed vertically on the ground.

Chiang Kaiwen took five pebbles, got four pebbles, and got four pheasants!

The remaining pheasants escaped in all directions. Chiang Kaiwen put down her slingshot and didn't even look at the frozen Lin Kai.

Lin Jianmu was overjoyed. He ran over to pick up the pheasants and suddenly shouted in surprise, "You guys come over here and take a look! There's even a nest of wild eggs here!"

In total, he found two nests of wild eggs, a total of ten wild eggs. All of them were packed in plastic bags by Lin Jianmu into Chiang Kaiwen's basket.

As for the four wild chickens, other than the first one who died, the other three were still alive.

Lin Jianmu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Chiang Kaiwen smiled, accepting the praise.

At this time, Lin Kai also came back to his senses. The way he looked at Chiang Kaiwen was now different. He took the initiative to help Lin Jianmu. Therefore, people with ability were always respected.

Lin Jianmu mocked him for a while. Because the two of them had a good relationship, Lin Kai just turned red instead of falling out.

Chiang Kaiwen's attitude towards him had always been the same from the beginning. She didn't feel angry from the cold stare at the beginning, but now, she didn't feel like smacking her face either.

This was because Lin Kai's actions were human nature, so it didn't cross her bottom line.

And those who dared to cross her bottom line, please refer to the thief Daohai's trio.

With so much harvest, Lin Jianmu was so excited that he wanted to go down the mountain. However, Chiang Kaiwen didn't hurry. She squatted down to pick up some wild vegetables and mushrooms, put them into the basket, then continued her journey.

Lin Jianmu and Lin Kai now only follow Chiang Kaiwen's lead. Seeing her like this, they could only accompany her.

By the time the three came down the hill, the baskets were full.

They did not walk the same way up and down the mountain.

When Chiang Kaiwen reached the foot of the mountain, she discovered that there were a few smaller hills to the south. The foot of the mountain was surrounded by a barbed-wire fence.

Lin Jianmu followed her gaze and introduced, "That was originally a barren mountain just like this. The year before last, it was contracted by a family in the town and was planted with chestnuts and walnuts."

Saying this, he sighed, "This year, the insect pests caused heavy losses, and we can't continue any longer. I heard that we've been looking for a new home. "But who would dare to take over a situation like this?"

Chiang Kaiwen nodded and the three of them walked into the village.

When they returned to the village, they would inevitably be seen by others, and they would receive gazes of envy along the way.

Previously, the villagers were able to catch pheasants and rabbits, but these two years, the rabbits had become smarter. Many of them had moved from the vicinity of the mountains to the depths, making it harder and harder to catch.

And there were almost no villagers who dared to go deep into the mountains. It was too dangerous.

Sometimes, when the villagers were sleeping at night, they could hear the howls of the wolves from there.

Lin Kai's home was the closest, so he sent it home first, while passing a wild chicken to him.

Lin Kai didn't think that he would still have a role to play. After all, not only did he not contribute, he even almost screwed up. He didn't expect Chiang Kaiwen to not only not blame him, but also give him one of her own. He was deeply moved.

Lin Kai rejected it: "No no no, Kaiwen, I can't take it. Not only can't take it, I also have to apologize to you."

Chiang Kaiwen smiled and said, "I accept your apology. You must also take this chicken. "

Lin Jianmu also advised on the side: "Oh, if I give it to you, then take it. If you don't take it, then how would I take it?"

Only then did Lin Kai accept it. As he watched the two leave, he truly started to admire Chiang Kaiwen.

Although Lin Jianmu had long admired Chiang Kaiwen, but now they had increased it to another level. He even had the thought that if Kaiwen became his boss, there would definitely be meat soup for him.

He should have gone to Lin Jianmu's house first, but Lin Jianmu insisted on sending Chiang Kaiwen home.

Seeing how eager he was, Chiang Kaiwen, who originally had countless subordinates, smiled and shook her head.

Back at the Lin Clan, only his aunt was home. She had just come back from the field and was washing her clothes.

She was shocked when she saw the pheasant in Lin Jianmu's hand, "Hey, Mu, you're awesome."

Lin Jianmu put down the tied up wild chicken, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Aunt, you overestimated me, this was all beaten up by Kaiwen."

"Kaiwen hit him?" Guo Caiyun couldn't help but look at Chiang Kaiwen.

Chiang Kaiwen nodded and turned to Lin Jianmu, "Pick one yourself."

Lin Jianmu smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, "Then I won't be polite."

He was really rude, taking one that was still alive, "Hehe, two days ago, my aunt just got a big grandson, I'll send it to their home tomorrow."

Chiang Kaiwen only had one wild chicken left to live and one dead, but she did not care. She had planned to eat one today anyway.
