New Year’s Eve (17th)

"Second sister, my mom will make more sticky bean bags tomorrow so that you can give more to Lu Xiaoxiao. She doesn't help us any more."

"good."

"Mom will take these dishes to heat up now, and go to the yard to call your dad for dinner."

"good."

After seeing off her second sister, Lu Xiaoxiao went into the space to take a shower. She calculated that it was New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. Zhang Xu should go down the mountain to take her to hunt tomorrow.

The next morning, when Lu Xiaoxiao woke up, she heard a noise from the yard, so she immediately got off the kang and put on her clothes, and then walked to the yard.

"I'm awake." Zhang Xu knew that the door of the main hall had opened must have been the little girl who woke up, so he turned around and spoke to the little girl.

"Well, when did you come?"

“It’s past seven o’clock in the morning.”

"Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"I'll go and heat the steamed buns and you'll be ready to eat them in a while."

"Um."

After Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the house, she went into the kitchen. She burned the big earth stove and added water to the pot, then put the steamed buns, eggs, and sweet potatoes into the steamer to steam them together.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao put out the fire from the big earth stove, and then shouted to Zhang Xu in the yard: "Zhang Xu, have a meal."

"good."

Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the kang and picked up an egg while peeling it and asked Zhang Xu: "When will we go hunting?"

"Go after breakfast."

"Do you want to bring dry food?"

"No, I'll be back in the evening now."

"Can you get something in such a short time?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing Zhang Xu's words.

"Do you doubt my ability?"

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Xu's words, her mouth twitched. She thought that hunting requires luck in addition to ability. If you are not lucky enough to meet prey, even if you have the ability, you will not be able to catch prey.

After Zhang Xu glanced at the little girl, he guessed what she was thinking, so he said to the little girl: "Don't worry about eating. Since I said that I would definitely be able to catch enough prey before I come back."

"I see."

After breakfast, Lu Xiaoxiao put out the fire at home, closed the yard door and walked up the mountain with Zhang Xu.

When Lu Xiaoxiao reached the middle of the mountain, she spoke to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, can you catch prey if you take me like this?"

"I haven't arrived at the hunting place yet. If you are tired of walking, I will carry you on my back."

"No, I'm not tired. I'm just curious where you want to take me to hunt."

"You will know when you get to the place."

"Oh, are there a lot of prey there?"

"Well, you can hit as much as you want."

An hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao walked through a cave under Zhang Xu's leadership, and then she was stunned by what she saw.

"Zhang Xu, please pinch me quickly. I want to see if I'm dreaming."

When Zhang Xu heard the little girl's words, he reached out and pinched the little girl's face, yes, it felt good.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt the slight pain from her face, and she knew that she was not dreaming at this moment, so she excitedly pulled Zhang Xu and said, "Zhang Xu, how did you find this place here? I didn't expect that in the snowy twelfth lunar month, you can still see such a place that looks like spring."

"I discovered this place before when I was chasing a wild goat."

"You are so lucky. I have been to this mountain for 180 times, but I haven't noticed it." Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xu with envy.
