Gu Ermiao's voice was so loud that it almost broke her eardrums. "Sihe, you insisted on sleeping with your mother, just to pee on her bed?!"

Gu Sihe knew he was in the wrong, so he curled up in a corner of the bed in fear, covering his ears and trembling.

Lin Qing had already prepared the water for washing his face and returned to the house. He whispered, "Shh, Er Miao, be quiet. Don't disturb your eldest brother and Chang Qing. They are in the morning reading!"

Gu Ermiao quickly shut up, trying to suppress his anger, but his breathing was still rapid, his teeth were gritting, and he lowered his voice and asked:

"Gu Sihe, you didn't see anyone secretly climbing the wall yesterday, so what scared you into wetting the bed? You'd better make up a reasonable excuse, otherwise you'll get beaten up!

"I'm also afraid of disturbing my two brothers, so why not take you to the back mountain and beat you!"

Gu Sihe's face turned bitter when he heard this, his eyes filled with tears, and he pouted, "I won't tell you! If you have the guts, take me to the back mountain!"

"you!"

Seeing Gu Ermiao picking up the broom behind the door and about to beat someone, Gu Sihe was so scared that he climbed onto the bed again and dodged back and forth, as agile as a little cockroach.

"Mother, mother, please save me!"

Lin Qing stopped the two people from making trouble, "Okay, okay, no matter what the reason is, the mistake has already been made, and hitting him will not help.

"Sihe, you saw with your own eyes yesterday that we've installed security bars at home. If you're still scared, how about we buy a puppy next time we go to town?"

Gu Sihe's attention was instantly diverted, and he danced with joy: "Great, great, great!"

Lin Qing wiped his hands clean and said, "But I think what Er Miao said is not without reason. Think about it carefully, besides Gu Dahuai, has our family offended anyone else?"

Gu Ermiao felt helpless when he saw his mother letting go of Sihe so easily, but he also learned that without definite hard evidence, it was better not to refute his mother.

But I couldn't swallow this breath in my heart, and said helplessly:

"Mom, you're so partial to Sihe. I'm worried that if this continues, he'll become even more disrespectful! This kid has been cunning and hypocritical since he was a child. He must have wet his own bed and didn't want to sleep, so he just stuck with you!"

Seeing that his second son ignored him, Lin Qing pulled Gu Sihe to stand in front of Gu Ermiao and gestured with his lips to signal him to continue scolding.

"Don't forget to answer my questions."

Gu Ermiao was at a loss for words and glared at Gu Sihe fiercely, signaling him with his eyes, "I'll settle the score with you later!"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Gu Ermiao said, "My family has always been honest and upright, never taking the initiative to provoke others. I guess we haven't offended anyone..."

Lin Qing thought of the conflicts between Gu Sanmu and the Liu and Wu families, and thought to herself that it couldn't be the two of them.

Not to mention whether the two women dared to go out in the middle of the night, the time didn't even match.

That strange thing had come to their house two days ago, and Miki had just quarreled with them yesterday.

Lin Qing asked doubtfully, "That's strange... Never mind. Let's not bother with all this. We've already dug the trap. Once that person jumps in, we'll know who it is."

The casual chat between mother and son was interrupted by a sudden scream from the back mountain.

A ding sound suddenly rang in Lin Qing's mind.

[Ding, congratulations, your hidden partner Lin Yuanxin has discovered a new specialty, please go check it out! ]

Lin Qing's eyes lit up instantly.

The fourth specialty just appeared so suddenly?!

Time goes back to early morning.

Gu Sanmu, who got up early, was about to scoop water to water the red amaranth seeds, but saw Lin Yuanxin about to go out with a basket, so he hurriedly called her.

Lin Yuanxin was a little embarrassed: "I just want to get familiar with the village and go to the mountain to see if there are any wild vegetables to dig up for lunch..."

Gu Sanmu thought to himself that he didn't have anything important to do today anyway, so he said, "The roads in Songsi Village are mostly mountainous. If you get lost, you'll have to take a long detour to get home. I'll go with you after I finish watering the plants."

After a while, the two of them climbed up the mountain behind the house hand in hand. Seeing that there were few people here, Lin Yuanxin asked curiously, "The mountain behind our house is not small, why doesn't anyone come here?"

Gu Sanmu seemed to be still feeling frightened. He said, "Because there are snakes on this mountain. I saw them when I was a kid and loved playing. The snakes had legs as thick as my forearm. Everyone was very scared, and gradually no one dared to come here anymore..."

Lin Yuanxin's body was instantly covered with goose bumps.

She had been bitten by a snake before, so now she trembled all over when she heard the name of a snake, and instantly felt like giving up.

But looking at Gu Sanmu's back as he led the way, he thought, now that he had spoken, he couldn't back down!

What's more, Brother Sanmu came here with her, she can't just run away because of fear!

Lin Yuanxin whispered, as if to comfort himself, "Now, at this time, they have nothing to eat, so they should all be dead, right?"

Gu Sanmu said honestly, "I don't know. I haven't been to this mountain for a long time."

Both of them were extremely alert, but when they reached the top of the mountain, all they saw was bare ground. Not only were there no wild vegetables, even the weeds were sparse.

Gu Sanmu stood still under a dead tree, holding the trunk with his hand to steady his breathing, and said, "Yuanxin, look, there's really nothing to pick on this mountain. Should we go down directly or look for more?"

Lin Yuanxin still did not give up. He leaned against the tree and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he found a faint green shade in the depression at the bottom of the shady hillside on the right. He excitedly pulled Gu Sanmu's arm and pointed it out to him.

"Brother Sanmu, look, look, are there any wild vegetables over there?"

Gu Sanmu squinted his eyes and looked carefully. He could only vaguely see a green leaf fluttering in the wind, and he was delighted.

Sure enough, there are unexpected gains in such a remote place!

"Yuan Xin, give me the basket. Wait here. I'll go down and take a look."

Lin Yuanxin naturally rejected him. Neither of them could convince the other, and in the end, Gu Sanmu naturally chose to back down.

They supported each other and slowly walked down the mountain towards their destination. When they got closer, they found that there was an unknown plant growing in the depression. Its leaves looked a bit like loofah, and its branches and vines climbed on the dead trees, forming a dense shade.

Just when Gu Sanmu was wondering whether this thing could be eaten and where to eat it, Lin Yuanxin beside him suddenly screamed.

"Snakes, snakes! Brother Sanmu, look, those are all the snakes crawling on the tree!"

Gu Sanmu knew she was really scared when he heard her trembling voice. He tried hard to control his weak legs and looked carefully. He found that the snakes crawling on the tree were green snakes as thick as fingers.

As if it had sensed them coming, the leading snake raised its head towards them and hissed.

Gu Sanmu slowed down his movements, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, held it tightly in his hand, and swung it fiercely twice. Then he turned to Lin Yuanxin and said, "Don't, don't be afraid, Yuanxin, you go first, I'll protect you from behind..."

Lin Yuanxin seemed to have no control over his body at all, and just pinched Gu Sanmu's arm woodenly.

"I, I'll accompany you, Sanmu brother!"

Neither of them dared to say that they were afraid. As they were worrying about how to support each other and escape safely, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.
