"Really?"

Tian Danian's eyes lit up.

Is there a way to make money? Of course that's good!

He has a big family, so it would be a good thing for him to earn more money!

If they just relied on those few acres of land, the family would not starve, but they could only get by.

Especially this year, the harvest is poor, and I’m afraid I can’t even rely on those few acres of thin land.

If it weren't for the recent troubles in his family, he would have gone to the county town to do odd jobs long ago.

Although he had sold a ginseng for his daughter's sake and had accumulated more than 200 taels of silver, who would complain that money was too much?

He has four children. In the future, the eldest and the third will have to get married and have children, and the second and the fourth will have to get married and start their own families. Each of them will need money to take care of them.

He doesn't want to make any child suffer. If there is really a chance to earn money, why not do it?

Tian Xiaoman nodded heavily and his words were powerful.

"Dad, let's leave first. But if we go into the mountains next time, can you still find this place?"

Tian Xiaoman knew her own limitations. In the mountains, she had always followed her father. If she were asked to find her way back on her own, she would not have the ability to do so.

Tian Danian nodded and said in a low voice, "Although this is deep in the mountains and this is my first time here, I can still remember the path. If it doesn't work, I can leave a mark on the way back so that I can find it easily next time."

"Okay, let's go back first. Brother San will be worried when he sees that we haven't returned for such a long time."

Tian Danian and his companions seemed to have just remembered that Tian Mutou had not caught up with them, so they really had to go back and check on him.

Tian Mutou: Dad, am I your biological son? Do I have no sense of existence?

Compared with my second sister and younger sister, I am a grass, I admit it; but why compared with my eldest brother, I am still a grass?

After the father and son found the wood, they did not waste any time. They quickly packed their bags and hurried out of the old forest.

On the way back, they were luckier than on the way here. At least the Tian father and son came across a patch of dried wood ear mushrooms, and even picked up a lot of pine mushrooms on a still moist leeward slope.

What surprised everyone even more was that while picking pine mushrooms in the ditch, Tian Danian also shot a rabbit.

The rabbit was very fat. Tian Danian weighed it with his hand and it seemed to be about 15 to 18 pounds. After removing the internal organs and fur, it could be made into a large pot, enough to provide a meat dish for the whole family.

However, because it was completely dark, the vision was affected, so Tian Danian decided to spend the night in the mountains and continue his journey at dawn.

Tian Danian grew up at the foot of Pinglin Mountain and has experience in finding a safe place to stay in the mountains.

Besides, his father was a hunter, and a very good hunter at that. He learned how to survive in the forest when he was seven or eight years old.

Although Tian Danian did not learn all of his father's skills, he at least learned about 60% to 70%, so spending the night in the mountains was no problem.

He and his children found a cave on the side of the cliff. The cave was not big, but it was big enough to accommodate five people, including father and son.

At night, they lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave. As long as the bonfire was strong enough and did not go out all night, it would scare away the wild beasts in the mountains, and the father and daughter could spend the night safely.

Tian Danian took several children into the mountains, leaving Wang alone to look after the house. To be honest, Wang was worried.

Not only did she not sleep well that night, she also got up early the next day and looked at Pinglin Mountain from her doorstep several times in a row.

Their house is at the southernmost end of Tianjia Village at the foot of Pinglin Mountain. If someone comes out of Pinglin Mountain, they can definitely see it clearly by standing at the door of Tianjia Village.

Just when Wang went to the door to look out for the umpteenth time, she saw several figures coming out from the direction of the mountain.

As the figures got closer, Wang could see clearly that it was Tian Danian and several children.

She waved towards Tian Danian excitedly. God knows how worried she was that night.

If the child's father took the two boys into the mountains, she wouldn't say anything.

But he also brought his two daughters with him, especially the fourth daughter, who was only eleven. If they went into the mountains, would the daughters be able to keep up with the father and his sons? Would they get tired? Would they encounter wild animals or something?

The more Wang thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Now, good thing, the person finally came back.

As Tian Danian and his son got closer, the smile on Wang's face became more genuine.

"Dad, eldest, second, third, fourth, are you back?"

"Mom, I miss you so much!"

Tian Xiaoman ran up to Wang, put his arm around her, and the family walked into the yard in an orderly manner.

When Wang saw that her two daughters were unharmed and even looked energetic, she was completely relieved.

"The rice is still warm in the pot. I'll go and bring it up. I guess you didn't have anything good to eat in the mountains tonight. So fill your stomachs now. I'll make you something delicious tonight."

Mu Tou raised the fat rabbit in his hand and said, "Mom, what do you think this is? How about we eat it tonight?"

Wang's eyes lit up, "Oh my, you guys really gained something from going into the mountains!"

She took the fat rabbit handed to her by her son and a smile appeared on her face.

"Okay! Then we'll eat rabbit meat tonight."

"Okay—" Tian Xiaoman cheered, "Mom, I want to eat spicy food."

Tian Xiaoman liked spicy food. Over the past period of time, because of the injury on her head, Wang had been controlling her diet. Not to mention spicy food, she didn't even dare let her eat anything with a chili pepper in it.

Now, after applying the ointment from Su’s Pharmacy, the scar on Tian Xiaoman’s forehead is almost invisible. As he grows older, his forehead will surely become as smooth as before.

"Okay, okay, let's eat spicy food then."

Tian Xiaoman: Be happy, throw flowers!

It’s just - why do I feel like I’ve forgotten something?

If you can’t remember, then don’t think about it!

At the same time, deep in Pinglin Mountain, a group of gray-haired mice were jumping up and down.

"Ahhhhhhh, my king, help me, the monster is spitting at me again!"

"Ahhhhhhh, Longtail, run faster, that monster is about to step on your tail!"

Fat Gray was very depressed at the moment. "Xiao Man, you are not nice enough! Didn't we say that if we lead you to find these monsters in the mountains, you will help us kill them?"

Why did you run so fast? The monsters haven't been killed yet, but you're already down the mountain?

——Most importantly, they forgot about us!

Didn’t we agree to kill the monsters together?

Now, look what happened. Your whole family has gone back without even saying hello, and you have completely forgotten about my army of gray mice and left them in the mountains.

Woo woo woo - Xiaoman, do you know that you hurt my heart!

When I get back, I will definitely ask you for compensation. I won’t give up until you get two kilograms of food!

"Hurry up! If you run too slowly when it comes to life and death, I, the King, will not be able to protect you."

Fat Gray ran towards the alpaca that was about to step on the long tail. Fortunately, when the alpaca was about to step on the long tail, Fat Gray attracted the alpaca's attention away, preventing the long tail from becoming a short tail.
