I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Su Banxia hurried and finally arrived at the bamboo house. As soon as she pushed open the courtyard gate, she saw Wei Kezhi peering eagerly out the window.

Su Banxia felt a warmth in her heart. Actually, for so many days, she had been coming up the mountain every day to help Wei Kezhi cook and clean, not because she wanted the pound of pork he gave her each day.

On the contrary, they felt that Wei Kezhi was now living alone in this godforsaken place, and no family members had come to take care of him. Right now, Wei Kezhi could only rely on himself.

Therefore, every time Su Banxia came to the bamboo house, she felt like she was taking care of a paralyzed left-behind child. This feeling of doing good deeds often warmed her heart.

As soon as Su Banxia entered the room, she looked at Wei Kezhi and smiled:

"From now on, you'll be my little brother, and I'll protect you, okay?"

Wei Kezhi spoke with a puzzled expression:

"How will you protect me?"

Su Banxia suddenly realized that he might not understand what she was saying, so she quickly corrected herself:

"That's right, you can be my follower, I'll take care of your food and drink, and protect you."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi stiffened and looked at Su Banxia with a complicated expression. No one had ever told her that they would protect her before. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been the one who was forgotten.

So even though he has been hiding in these deep mountains for so many years, none of his family members have come to look for him.

Now, Su Banxia looked him straight in the eye and said she would protect him, and Wei Kezhi, for some reason, nodded to Su Banxia as if possessed.

Seeing that Wei Kezhi had agreed, Su Banxia patted Wei Kezhi on the shoulder and smiled:

"Brother Wei, don't worry, I'll make you something to eat!"

Wei Kezhi felt a little strange about the address, but he was so hungry that he couldn't care less and could only nod repeatedly to Su Banxia.

Su Banxia happily hooked Wei Kezhi's chin with her hand.

"Good dog, so good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Banxia's face stiffened. Oh no, she had blurted out what was on her mind.

Just as Wei Kezhi was about to explode with a gloomy expression, Su Banxia quickly turned around and ran out of the courtyard.

"Don't worry, I'll cook for you right away."

Wei Kezhi watched her retreating figure and chuckled helplessly. Aside from those older brothers who shared the same father, this was the first time anyone had dared to call him "little brother," and the first time anyone had dared to call him "good puppy"...

If it were in the past, Wei Kezhi would have killed that person without hesitation, but now he couldn't bear to kill Su Banxia.

Su Banxia was busy making stir-fried pork with chili peppers and braised carp in the yard, while Wei Kezhi peered out the window, sincerely hoping to live such a peaceful life for the rest of his days.

However, all of this was like a dream to Wei Kezhi, something he could never hope for. No matter what the future held, Wei Kezhi only wanted to live well in the present.

Su Banxia was quick; she prepared two dishes and a soup in no time. She even made extra scallion pancakes for Wei Kezhi so that Wei Kezhi could eat them to stave off hunger if she arrived late next time.

When Su Banxia brought the food to the table, Wei Kezhi smelled the aroma and almost forgot to use his cane. He strode out of bed, and when he met Su Banxia's suspicious gaze...

Wei Kezhi pretended to hiss in pain, then grabbed the crutch from beside the bed and limped to the table.

Su Banxia stared intently at the unknown and said:

"After we finish eating, I'll take a look at your leg. Why isn't it better yet?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi frowned slightly and said:

"No, no need. I know my own body; I'm almost fully recovered."

As Su Banxia picked up a scallion pancake and handed it to Wei Kezhi, she said:

"I've been taking such good care of you, your leg injury should have healed by now. But it's been delayed for so many days because I was worried that the wound would get infected, which is why it hasn't healed yet."

Wei Kezhi hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, I already said it's almost healed. Men and women shouldn't touch each other, so don't worry about it."

Su Banxia rolled her eyes at Wei Kezhi.

"Why didn't you say men and women shouldn't touch each other when you asked me to save you? Now you're bringing this up. You're my little brother, what haven't I seen on your body!"

As soon as Su Banxia got to this point, she realized she had said the wrong thing. Her face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head and frantically ate her food to ease the embarrassment.

Wei Kezhi also stiffened. Seeing that Su Banxia didn't speak, he didn't speak either. He just held the scallion pancake and ate it, forgetting to pick up any other food.

Both of them finished the meal with flushed faces. Su Banxia didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly took the pork and said goodbye.

Wei Kezhi was left staring blankly at the table full of food, grinning foolishly.

On her way down the mountain, Su Banxia dug up some wild vegetables and picked some wild fruits. She also found a patch of Japanese ginger, and without hesitation, she dug up the entire patch.

This can be taken back and pickled into salted vegetables, which would be a good side dish for the workers.

By the time she finished her work, it was already getting dark. Su Banxia quickly walked down a small path.

Just as she reached the halfway point of the mountain, she suddenly heard a bear roar from the woods. Startled, Su Banxia slipped and rolled several times before falling under an apricot tree.

Hearing the noise, the black bear in the bushes swayed and rushed out. Upon seeing Su Banxia, ​​its eyes lit up and it charged straight at her.

Su Banxia was still dazed from the fall when she saw the black bear charging towards her. She was so frightened that she forgot to scream and immediately used her last bit of consciousness to enter the space.

Upon arriving in the space, she immediately fell into a deep sleep. She slept for a long time before waking up, washing her face with well water, and drinking several mouthfuls of it.

He then sat down to check his own pulse and found that he was fine. He had just fallen and scraped his skin, and was so frightened that he had fainted.

Fortunately, she managed to enter the space with her last bit of consciousness before fainting, which saved her from being completely devoured by the black bear.

Su Banxia got up, straightened her clothes, and went to the tool shed to find a handy tool, muttering to herself...

"By now, the black bear should be gone, right?"

Thinking this, Su Banxia came out of the space. All she saw was darkness. When she bent down to look, she was met with the black bear's big face. She was so frightened that she realized something was wrong just as she was about to enter the space.

The black bear is currently sitting with its eyes closed and not moving at all. Could it be asleep?

Just as Su Banxia was about to quietly walk down the mountain, she noticed that the black bear's forehead was wet. Su Banxia mustered her courage and went up to sniff it. It turned out to be blood. Could it be that the black bear had tried to rush over to grab her but accidentally bumped into a tree and was knocked unconscious?

Thinking this through, Su Banxia no longer cared about running away. If she could kill the black bear, wouldn't she earn a large sum of money, and the workers who came to her house to help with the work would also have meat to eat!
