MTL - My Parents Are Omnipotent-Chapter 9 a back road

  Chapter 9 A Back Road

   On the afternoon of the day they moved into the new house, Ye Jinkui took Ye Anlan to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs.

  The father and daughter did not dare to go further into the mountains. Their hunting range was only the mountain closest to the village where they lived temporarily.

  The mountain is flat and the forest is not very dense, so there are no dangerous creatures such as tigers, leopards, bears, and wolves.

  Ye Jinkui has been hunting in this mountain for many years, and the most dangerous wild animals he has encountered are wild boars and foxes.

  Fox is lucky to say that wild boars often appear in groups. If you really want to meet them, wild boars are also very dangerous for hunters like him who are only a little stronger than ordinary people.

  Especially now that he is still taking Ye Anlan with him. Although Ye Anlan is extremely powerful, in Ye Jinkui's eyes, she is always the little baby who needs to be taken care of by him and Li Shi.

  For the safety of himself and his daughter, Ye Jinkui did not intend to go too far.

  What he didn't know was that during the time he was busy building the house, Ye Anlan had already thoroughly explored the mountain by himself.

Ye Anlan's doing this is purely out of habit. She has been struggling to survive in the apocalypse for more than ten years, and she has long been used to finding out the environment first whenever she goes to a place, because only in this way can she find herself the first time when danger comes. out the way of escape.

"By the way, Dad, walk about ninety feet (300 meters) to the east from here, and there is a very hidden cave. I stocked up a lot of things in it." At dusk, the father and daughter took them for the afternoon Ye Anlan suddenly thought of this when he came down from the mountain and walked halfway up the mountain.

  Ye Jinkui was dumbfounded by her words. He knew about the cave, but why did his daughter hoard things in that cave? Even if you want to stock up, you should stock up in your own home, right?

  He speculated with his own thoughts, "Does Yuan Niang want Dad to help you move those things home?"

  Ye Anlan: It is quite sad to have a father who always forgets her great strength.

  Ye Anlan shook her head, "No, I put those things in that cave on purpose."

  She asked Ye Jinkui, "Father, do you think our village is safe?"

  Ye Jinkui paused slightly, "It's not safe." Right now, it's just refugees, gangsters, and corrupt officials who are threatening their peaceful life. When will bandits or "rebels" come over?

"That's why we can't keep everything at home." Ye Anlan sighed, "If we suddenly leave the village one day and we don't have time to bring our things with us, the things I hid in the cave can at least keep us safe for a short time. There will be a shortage of food and clothing.”

  Ye Jinkui tightened the straw rope in his hand, "After that, Dad will also put some of the hunted things there."

   "You can't just let it go." Ye Anlan reminded him, "You have to ask my mother to make these prey into jerky or bacon."

  Just like her, what was put in the past were fried nuts, dried wild fruits, ripe skins, and chopped firewood.

  Ye Jinkui looked stunned, "No wonder you have to buy so much salt." Pickled vegetables, cured meat, which one does not need salt?

  Busy until the mountains were covered with snow and could no longer go hunting in the cold wind, Ye Jinkui and Ye Anlan calmed down.

  At this time, in their house, there is enough food for them to eat until the end of winter in the house, and enough firewood is piled outside the house for them to burn until the end of winter. They are wearing newly made thick cotton clothes and covered with new thick quilts.

  The children's faces were flushed, and some flesh grew on their bodies. Looking at their cute smiling faces, Li Shi was so happy that his heart overflowed.

She told Ye Jinkui privately: "Back then when our family was forced to sell the house, I thought our family would have to live in a cave this winter. How could our family's life follow suit as soon as Yuan Niang recovered from her illness?" It's getting better every day."

At that time they were short of food and clothing, and had no house. Now they have not only built a new house, bought enough food, made new cotton clothes and quilts for the whole family, and stockpiled dry firewood as small as a hill. The hidden cave has reserved food, fur and dry firewood for emergencies.

  This change can be described as earth-shaking, and it took them less than two months to realize this change.

   "That's where it is." Ye Jinkui was grilling the charcoal brazier, "Now Yuanniang teaches Erlang to read and practice martial arts every day. This child is full of energy. Wait for two or three years, and you will see."

  Ms. Li sighed, "Yuan Niang is a good child, but we are useless and blind, not only delaying her, but also setting her up with such a family."

  Ye Jinkui patted Mrs. Li on the shoulder, "You should be happy that Yuan Niang hasn't married yet." Otherwise, I'm afraid it's not a divorce, but a divorce.

  Li Shi: Just imagining it makes me angry! Get her a knife, and she'll chop up that **** family!

   "Don't get distracted, write well." Ye Anlan in the wing room didn't know that Li Shi and Ye Jinkui were expressing emotion in front of the brazier, and she was writing in the fine sand with her younger siblings with a small stick in her hand.

   "Sister, the winter solstice is almost here. Let's eat dumplings during the winter solstice." The little girl Ye Tang who was lightly tapped on the forehead by her raised her head and gave her elder sister a sweet and soft smile.

  Ye Tang has just turned four years old. He is the youngest child of the Ye family. Because he is favored by his older brothers and sisters, he does not live as cautiously as Sanniang Ye Wei. Although he is not mischievous because he is weak and sick, he is a full-fledged snack food, and he is very good at acting like a baby.

"If you learn two characters every day, sister Winter Solstice will ask my mother to make big dumplings stuffed with white flour and pork." Ye Anlan threw out the bait with a smile, "If you can persist in squatting for half an hour every day, then sister will do it again." Reward you with a small piece of malt candy every day."

  Ye Wei looked envious, but she didn't dare to fight for the same reward for herself.

  Ye Song glanced at the third sister Ye Wei who was inferior and introverted, "Eldest sister, my third sister and I also want rewards!"

  Ye Anlan patted Ye Wei's head, "You two are older than Si Niang."

  Ye Wei lowered her eyes in disappointment, but in the end she heard Ye Anlan's words changed, "...you have to learn more than Siniang, and it really doesn't make sense not to reward you."

"How about this. If you learn five characters every day, sister Winter Solstice will ask my mother to steam a big pot of white flour buns. If you can persist in squatting for an hour every day, then sister will reward each of you with a small amount of steamed buns every day." A bar of maltose."

  Ye Wei's eyes burst out with joy, and she held Ye Anlan's hand with her rough little hands.

  Ye Anlan smiled and pulled her into her arms, rubbed and kissed her, "My third sister is so cute!"

  Ye Wei's face turned red, this was the first time someone praised her so bluntly.

   "Big sister." Ye Wei buried her head in Ye Anlan's arms, hugging Ye Anlan tightly with her two small arms, "Thank you."

  Thank you for standing up for me, thank you for praising me for being cute, thank you for pampering me like a little girl.

  Ye Anlan's heart was sore and soft. She touched Ye Wei's dry and yellow hair, "Sister, be good. In the future, my sister will seek revenge on that stinky girl, and heal your wounds, making you as beautiful as before."

  Ye Wei trembled, the fear and guilt hidden deep in her heart uncontrollably swept through her body, and she cried out in a hurry, "No, no, big sister"
