Zhou Yimo had been copying in the study room. Now he had finally finished and could hand it back to the academy.

He happily packed up the fruits of the past few days in a bundle, and just happened to hear Li Qingqing calling him to eat.

Eat? Lunch? It's already noon so soon?

Zhou Yimo was a little confused. He walked out of the study, went outside the house and looked around, then he realized that it was only about eight o'clock in the morning and it was not time for lunch yet.

However, the tempting aroma of meat is really hard to resist.

Zhou Yimo took a deep breath. The aroma of meat filled the air, arousing the appetite in his stomach.

Not only him, Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang and Xier also ran back home quickly after smelling the aroma of meat.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang are no longer as timid as when they first arrived, and after hanging out with Xier for some time, they have become much more lively.

The three little guys happily ran to the kitchen to wash their hands, and hurried to the main room.

Xiaoshuang's face was a little dirty, with dust on it from somewhere. Zhou Yimo walked over with a smile, stopped her, took her to the kitchen, and carefully wiped her clean with a towel.

"Thank you, big brother!" Xiaoshuang blinked her bright big eyes to express her gratitude, and then hurried to the main hall.

"Don't run too fast!" Zhou Yimo shook his head lovingly and followed slowly.

Yun Jing walked out of the room. The knife wounds on his body looked scary, but they did not hurt any vital parts. After two days of applying herbal medicine, he was obviously much better.

But his complexion didn't look very good, and there was a faint layer of dark circles under his eyes.

After Li Qingqing arranged for Zhou's mother to have dinner, she walked out of Zhou's mother's room and glanced at him. Seeing that he looked like he hadn't slept well, she was a little puzzled:

"Is it because of the pain from the wound that you can't sleep?"

"It doesn't hurt, I just can't sleep." Yun Jing sat down slowly, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

His own clothes had been washed by Zhou Yimo and taken to Zhou's mother for mending. He was wearing Zhou Yimo's long gown and behaved elegantly, no longer as disheveled as when they first met.

Li Qingqing curled her lips. Seeing that he was frowning all day and didn't speak, she thought, "I guess he's just too bored and keeps thinking about his worries all day long. Isn't that why he can't sleep?"

"If you are bored, why not teach them something?" Li Qingqing helped Xiaoshuang fill a small bowl of mushroom soup and let her drink it slowly.

"No! I won't learn!" As soon as Li Qingqing finished speaking, Xier's protest rang out.

"What don't you want to learn?" Li Qingqing blinked. Why did this girl react so quickly?

Xier didn't answer. Zhou Yimo pondered for a moment and then suggested, "It would be a good idea to let Dashuang and the other two learn something. I'll teach them how to read in the future."

"Okay! Okay! I want to learn to read. Big brother's handwriting is so beautiful. I want to learn from you!" Xiaoshuang smiled happily and was the first to express his opinion.

"What's so good about learning to read?" Xier rolled her eyes, muttered, and poked her chopsticks into the bowl.

Li Qingqing picked up a piece of chicken and put it into Xier's bowl. She smiled and said, "Xier, it's very important to learn to read. If you could read, you could write a letter to your parents right now and ask them to come and pick you up."

Xier pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling a lot on her mind. The food in her hand tasted bland.

Li Qingqing didn't continue. If Xier really wanted to tell her story, she would naturally take the initiative to speak.

She smiled and asked Dashuang: "Dashuang, do you want to learn to read?"

"I... I want to learn to read, but... I want to learn hunting from my elder sister even more." Da Shuang was a little shy and glanced at Li Qingqing secretly.

Learn to hunt and you will have meat to eat every day!

"Sister, can I learn Kung Fu from you?" Da Shuang's words reminded Xier, and she looked at Li Qingqing with shining eyes.

Xier remembered that it was her elder sister who chased away the bad guys last time. If she knew martial arts, she would not be afraid of those bad guys anymore.

"Of course you can. However, whether it's hunting or learning kung fu, you must first master the basics, and more importantly, learn to read!"

Li Qingqing winked at Yun Jing and asked, "Yun Jing, since you're free while they're recovering, why not teach these three some basic skills? That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"He can't!" Li Qingqing had just finished speaking when Xier became anxious again. Yun Jing didn't look like someone who knew Kung Fu! How could he teach her?

"Sister, cousin Yun Jing is injured, he should not be as strong as you." Da Shuang also told the truth.

Yun Jing: ...

These two little girls looked down on him in front of him. Is this really okay?

Li Qingqing suppressed her laughter and said, "That's because he encountered a tiger in the deep mountains, so he was injured."

"It's very dangerous in the deep mountains, don't run into the deep mountains!" Zhou Yimo also interrupted and gave Li Qingqing a meaningful look.

Li Qingqing smiled somewhat guiltily: "Alright, it's happily settled. The three of you will follow Yun Jing to learn the basic skills for the time being!"

"You have to learn to read with me, and you are not allowed to be lazy!" Zhou Yimo added.

Yun Jing: ...

What the hell is this couple? What does "happily agreed" mean?

Did he say "He can teach"?

Yun Jing was eating the food in his bowl and had no time to pay attention to them.

After dinner, Zhou Yimo automatically stood up to clean up the dishes and said to Li Qingqing as he cleaned up:

"My lady, I will go to town soon and return the books I copied these days to the academy. You don't have to keep lunch for me."

Li Qingqing was silent for a moment, glad that she didn't tell Zhou Yimo that she was going to town.

"Oh, I was thinking of going to the back mountain to chop some firewood and hunt some small game. I won't be back until noon!"

Li Qingqing thought for a moment and suggested, "It's okay, though. I've already prepared some extra food and are covering it in the kitchen. Put some water in the pot and heat the food in the steamer. If they're hungry, they can help themselves. Xier and the other two can also take care of their mother. I'll be leaving first."

Li Qingqing threw down a few words and pretended to be in a hurry to go out.

There's no way. If I meet Zhou Yimo on the road or in Qiu Shui Town, it would be hard to explain.

"Well... okay! I'll try to come back early." Zhou Yimo hesitated and agreed.

Li Qingqing took an axe and pretended to go to the back mountain, but actually she went directly around Lihua Village from the back mountain, and then walked towards Qiu Shui Town from the back mountain of Zhangjia Village.

She walked very fast, afraid of being discovered by Zhou Yimo.

When they arrived in town, Li Qingqing borrowed another cart and a piece of oilcloth from the place where she borrowed the cart last time. She found a deserted place, took out the prey from the space, and piled the mushrooms on the cart.

Li Qingqing pushed the cart and hurried to Zuiyuexuan. Usually, restaurants would buy food early in the morning, and it was almost noon now. She was not sure whether Manager Qi would still accept her prey.

When she arrived at the back kitchen of Zuiyuexuan, Li Qingqing saw that Manager Qi was about to enter.

"Shopkeeper Qi, wait a moment!" Li Qingqing shouted.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qi stopped and saw a pretty girl pushing a cart loaded with prey towards him.
