Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All

Chapter 385: Chapter 251: Warning (Part 3)

The two bamboo tubes should be filled with cold boiled water.

A small cloth bag, if I’m not mistaken, contains leftover rice balls from lunch, along with a sickle and two small flints.

”Why bring so many things?”

”It’s not heavy anyway. In case we go far, we can fill our stomachs if we get tired and hungry.”

Xiaomi’s eyes darted around: ”Brother, wait for me a moment.”

Saying this, she turned and ran off, returning shortly after with a quiver at her waist and a short bow on her back.

She’s been in Xiangmu Village for so long, yet she hasn’t gone hunting. Today with her brother, shouldn’t she seize the chance to practice?

Wei Ziang smiled slightly, ”Let’s go, the time should be about right.”

”Mm!”

The front door was too heavy, so the two went out through the back door. As they passed by the woodshed, Xiaobai darted out to join them.

Even the three little Xiaobai wanted to come, but they couldn’t keep up and were left at home by Xiaomi.

Ruffling Xiaobai’s head, she said, ”Xiaobai, it’s been a while since we’ve played together outside. Today we’re going up the mountain!”

Despite having to ’take care of the kids’ lately, Xiaobai hadn’t lost any weight; in fact, she had gained some, her body now plump with fat.

Patting its back, there was even a bit of a wobble and rebound!

Xiaobai was obviously quite excited. Having been kept home to recuperate, she’s finally out. Her tongue hung long, panting heavily, a clear sign of her joy.

”Xiaomi, hurry up, we’re going up the mountain!” Xiaocao waved her arms in front as if worried Xiaomi couldn’t see her.

However, Xiaomi paused, frowning as she looked beside Xiaocao, ”Why is that guy here again!”

So annoying!

”It’s fine, just ignore him and let’s go.”

Wei Ziang had already anticipated this, not surprised at all. He nonchalantly joined the group with Xiaomi, nodding slightly at Zhang Xiaocao as a greeting.

”Hello, my name is Wei Ziang, I’m Xiaomi’s brother.”

Among others.

Xiaocao snapped back to reality, having been momentarily entranced, then smiled sheepishly.

”I know, Xiaomi often talks about you. I’m Zhang Xiaocao, you can call me Xiaocao like Xiaomi does.”

Then she moved to the other side of Xiaomi, pulling her along as they set off, noticing the bow and quiver on Xiaomi’s back, her eyes widening in surprise.

”Xiaomi, why did you bring those? Are you going hunting?”

”That’s right, I haven’t been up the mountain in so long. Today’s just perfect for practice. If I don’t practice soon, I might forget how to use them.”

Everyone ignored Zhang An and proceeded straight up the mountain.

The path up the mountain was narrow, not allowing the three of them to walk side by side. However, Xiaocao and Xiaomi continued to hold hands and chat, while he let go, stepping back to separate Zhang An and Xiaocao.

Not only that, but he also deliberately slowed his pace, putting more distance between himself and Xiaomi with Xiaocao.

The two girls were engrossed in their conversation, primarily Xiaomi sharing her hunting stories, while Xiaocao frequently exclaimed in amazement.

The two good friends evidently didn’t notice that the others were lagging far behind.

Once Wei Ziang was sure the two ahead were some distance away, he stopped, turning coldly to look at Zhang An.

Wei Ziang’s serious face was intimidating, almost as if he might hit someone at any moment.

Zhang An was also startled, immediately halting and nervously asking, ”W-What do you want?”

He even put his hands up in a defensive posture.

Wei Ziang snorted, ”I heard you’ve been following Xiaomi lately? I’m curious what you want.”

Zhang An shifted uneasily, ”I-I didn’t do anything. I was just helping, helping her carry things.”

It was clear that Zhang An wasn’t lying; at least every time he appeared in front of Xiaomi, it was because he wanted to help.

But he was a bit too eager, which irritated Xiaomi.

”Xiaomi doesn’t need your help with her things. You’d better stay away from her in the future!”

A pure motive? He didn’t believe it!

Zhang An braced his neck, ”Why? Don’t think I don’t know. You’re not Xiaomi’s real brother, what right do you have to warn me?”

Wei Ziang narrowed his eyes, about to say more when a voice sounded before he could.

”Brother, what are you doing? Hurry up, we’re going into the mountain!”

It turned out the two sisters chatting had nearly reached the forest.

”Coming!” Wei Ziang replied, glancing at the relieved Zhang Yuan with a tug at the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint, mixed smile.

”I warned you, it’s your own fault if you don’t listen.”

Having said that, he turned and left, not sparing another glance at Zhang An.

This time, Zhang An was truly frightened, even flinching a bit, but quickly regaining his composure, he sped up to follow them.

As for Wei Ziang’s warning, he didn’t take it to heart at all.

Useless bookworm, a weakling who can’t even truss a chicken; he’s not afraid. Even if it comes to a fight, he could knock him down with a single punch!
