Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 134 Surprises in Life

Lin Lanshan narrowed her eyes. "Oh ho~ You still think a quarter of it isn't enough?"

They may not look very big, but they're all quite greedy!

She didn't give in and picked up a piece, saying, "Nobody wants to eat? Then I'll eat it."

Lin Chunyi chuckled and picked up a potato that was slightly covered in dirt. Then she nodded and said:

"I didn't expect you guys to be so considerate. You know we don't eat much and you're embarrassed to eat any more, right?"

"Master, I understand your intentions. It's alright, we'll eat it ourselves."

"Uh!", "Gah! Gah!", "Coo! Coo!" They immediately became anxious and quickly used their heads to push away their two owners' hands:

Put it down! Put it all down! I didn't say I wouldn't eat! Can't you be a little slow on the uptake? As the owner, why are you taking food from your pet?

Peach and Reunion are huffing and puffing, racing against the potatoes in front of them, afraid that if they eat too slowly, their owner will snatch them away.

The two sisters sat cross-legged beside her and finished the remaining half potato, sprinkling it with salt and chili.

Next up is the baked eggs. Half an hour has passed, so they must be fully cooked.

Seeing the pets still wanting more after finishing their potatoes, Lin Chunyi said to her younger sister:

"We can't let them eat such cruel food. Let's get them out of there."

“That makes sense. We two can bear this pain!” Lin Lanshan grinned lewdly and slurped a mouthful of saliva.

Then, very seriously, he said to them, "Alright, there's no more food. And it's getting dark, so hurry home and go to sleep."

Peach and Reunion & Peace didn't suspect anything, since they couldn't smell the fragrance anymore. They turned around and took a few steps towards home, only to find no sound of anyone getting up behind them.

Turning my head, I saw that the two owners were still sitting on the ground, not moving.

They tilted their necks in unison, their faces full of confusion: Come on, aren't we going home?

"You guys go back first, we'll tidy up here and then head back." Lin Chunyi waved to them, urging them to leave quickly.

They certainly can't understand white lies told by humans.

They were very obedient and went back together.

The two sisters craned their necks until they could no longer see their backs, then squatted down to move the stones and pry open the eggs.

The temperature wasn't high anymore, so I took the eggs out. Now I put in a handful of soybeans, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, and some dried fruit; they wouldn't burn.

There were four mud balls on the ground; the mud they had coated the eggs with had dried out.

Lin Lanshan tapped the mud shell twice with a wooden stick, and the outer layer of mud cracked open.

The two carefully tapped the soil off the egg, revealing the pale yellow eggshell.

Lin Chunyi said proudly, "I wrapped the eggs in mud, and they didn't explode. I'm such a genius, haha."

"Sister, I'm thinking, if the charcoal fire is used to roast the mud on the outside, then is this still called a roasted egg? Or a baked egg or a steamed egg?" Lin Lanshan poked the egg with a stick, making it roll on the ground.

"So, even though beggar's chicken is covered in a thick layer of mud, does that mean it's not roasted chicken? You're thinking too much."

"Beggar's chicken? Sis, can we roast beggar's chicken tomorrow?" Lin Lanshan asked excitedly.

"..." The chickens are still in the mountains, they haven't even been caught yet. Her younger sister has already decided that they will eat beggar's chicken tomorrow.

The two knocked off the mud shells of the four eggs, then gently touched the eggs and returned to their spatial dimension.

Dried fruit, melon seeds, and browned soybeans that were in the oven were also put into the space.

After they finished packing, they went home in the dark.

In the bedroom, the two sisters, having washed their hands and faces, lit an oil lamp on the table, poured two cups of warm water, and began to eat eggs and other baked goods.

Baked eggs are drier and chewier than boiled eggs.

Lin Lanshan took a sip of water, swallowed a bite of egg, and then said rather seriously:

"Sis, let's go hunting again tomorrow. The beggar's chicken thing is actually trivial, but the doctor's advice about the chicken soup with astragalus and goji berries is very important! Go on, go on!"

Lin Chunyi, expressionless, exposed her lie: "If it weren't for beggar's chicken, you probably wouldn't even remember that chicken soup exists..."

Although she herself forgot about it immediately, even the astragalus and goji berries that Manager Yang gave them were still carelessly left in the kitchen, and she didn't know where they were.

Lin Lanshan clutched her chest and said, "Sister, how could you think of me like that? How could I be that kind of person!"

After all these years of our relationship, you don't trust me at all. My heart is really breaking.

"How many do you want to roast?" Lin Chunyi ignored the clumsy performance and looked at her with her chin propped up.

Lin Lanshan replied with a serious face, "Two are enough. Eating too much grilled food can cause internal heat."

...That's quite sophisticated, isn't it?

Tonight I ate one ear of corn, most of a potato, two eggs, and a glass of water.

Lin Chunyi patted her stomach, which was about 50-60% full. They never ate too much at night, so this was about right.

She clapped her hands. "Okay, let's go to sleep now and go early tomorrow."

Lin Lanshan was very obedient; she lay down, closed her eyes, and silently recited "beggar's chicken" until she fell asleep...

Life isn't about planning or not.

I told them today that we should remove the weeds tomorrow, but last night I suddenly had a whim to go catch some fish the next day!

Let's go catch some fish first.

That's life. Making a hundred plans for the next day is not as good as saying, "This is great, let's do this first!"

Unexpected accidents, or surprises from the heavens, happen all of a sudden in this kind of life...

Therefore,

Lin Lanshan squatted on the ground, staring blankly at the faint reddish-brown object.

She asked blankly, "Sister, what is this? Is it a gift from heaven? Has God finally realized how hard our lives have been and sent us happiness?"

Lin Chunyi also found it unbelievable, "If we hadn't decided to come and see today last night, would we have run into this?"

Life is truly full of surprises!

Two hours ago...

As soon as a bright orange light appeared on the horizon, the two sisters, as usual, left behind Peach and Reunion and set off for the deep mountains.

The valley was quiet, especially deep in the mountains.

The sounds of the dead branches and leaves they stepped on, and the grass and trees their clothes brushed against, were all very clear.

The two followed the tall bushes, searching for their beggar's chicken and chicken soup with astragalus and goji berries.

With its bright colors and striking appearance, the wild rooster was quite eye-catching, which is why they spotted it.

Look at this family, the husband and wife, and the eggs, sleeping so soundly, they don't even know someone's coming. Let them go back to their pot and reunite!

Only an hour had passed, and the two of them already had four days' worth of chicken soup and two meals of beggar's chicken in their baskets.

Once their mission was complete, they began to leisurely wander around the mountains and forests, going wherever their hearts led them.

……

"Lin Lanshan, what kind of way did you lead us? Look where we've ended up."

Lin Chunyi looked at the familiar thicket and the familiar open space in front of her with a somewhat indescribable expression.
