Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 278 - 216: Hunting

Just back from outside, I saw Xiao Mi at the door measuring her height.

"Measuring your height again?"

Xiao Xue, with a basket on her elbow, is just two months away from her tenth birthday, and she already has the gentle demeanor of a young lady growing up.

"Second sister, I think I’ve grown a little bit taller again."

Xiao Mi happily etched a mark on the wall, taller than she was at the age of seven.

Unlike Xiao Xue’s gentleness, Xiao Mi remains lively, adorable, and full of energy.

With her at home, it’s always lively.

Xiao Xue said with a smile, "Growing so fast, but why are you carrying a bow and arrows? Planning to go up the mountain again today?"

Xiao Mi has been practicing archery for half a year and lately couldn’t contain herself, running to the mountain every day. Although she always comes back empty-handed, it doesn’t dampen her enthusiasm.

Fortunately, Xiao Mi returns early every day and has Xiao Hei with her, so there hasn’t been any injury, and everyone isn’t worried.

After all, since last year, Xiao Mi has spent more time on the mountain than in the village, so everyone is quite used to it.

Xiao Mi coolly slung the quiver over her shoulder, "Second sister, I’m not coming back for lunch today, I plan to have a picnic on the mountain!"

Xiao Xue was puzzled, "Not coming back for lunch?"

Xiao Mi chuckled as she picked up a bundle from the ground, "Look, I’m all set, with the leftover buns and pickles from breakfast, and cucumbers too."

She showed Xiao Xue her items one by one.

"You’re having just these for lunch?" Xiao Xue took a step closer, "Today there’s braised pork, won’t you eat it?"

Xiao Mi licked her lips, tempted to eat.

But remembering her purpose, she firmly nodded, "You tell mom and dad I’ll be back in the afternoon."

With that, she turned to leave, but Xiao Xue quickly grabbed her, "Wait, it’s too dangerous to go alone, you should..."

"Don’t worry, second sister, Xiao Hei will be with me. Besides, I’m familiar with the mountain, just like our home, nothing will happen."

Xiao Mi interrupted Xiao Xue, then whistled for Xiao Hei, and eagerly ran off.

Xiao Xue wanted to stop her, but unfortunately couldn’t. No one else was home to help, so she could only watch Xiao Mi sprint up the mountain.

She didn’t dare follow; besides rarely going up the mountain herself, if she went, who would tell mom and dad?

Watching Xiao Mi’s retreating figure, Xiao Xue sighed and could only let her run off.

On the other hand, Xiao Mi was very happy. After so much preparation, playing on the mountain every day was about getting the family used to it, wasn’t it?

Used to her being on the mountain, gradually extending her time there.

As for danger, it’s not a big issue. There are no wild beasts around, and even if there were, she has a secret weapon!

Moreover, she’s not really a child anymore and won’t foolishly do dangerous things.

Almost humming a tune, she climbed the mountain with a light step, the path she’d taken many times seemed like flat ground to her.

"Hurry up, Xiao Hei, today we’re exploring new territory!" She climbed onto a large rock, one hand on her hip, beckoning Xiao Hei with the other.

’Woof woof~’ Xiao Hei, who was slightly off-course sniffing something on the ground, ran quickly to her call.

Beside the rock, he jumped to Xiao Mi’s feet, even barking in the direction of the mountainside.

If Xiao Mi’s sight were good enough, she would notice Xiao Hei’s barking carried quite far, reaching the people in the fields below, who looked up in their direction.

But the sun was bright today, and the distance was a bit much. With trees around Xiao Mi, she couldn’t see anything anyway.

Having enjoyed the feeling of towering above, she jumped off the large rock, "Let’s go, Xiao Hei, onwards we move!"

She pumped her fist vigorously, exuding an aura of determination.

The mountains close to Fu’an Village, Xiao Mi had traversed them all, nothing new there. Today, her goal was a place farther away.

She’s never been a quiet person, nor one with patience, naturally active and loves to be on the move.

Without something to do, staying idle feels boring and unbearable.

When she was younger, not allowed to go up the mountain, she could only cause a ruckus around the village.
