Chapter 39 -39: Be Cautious While Working Outside
Lin Baiyi wanted to say more, but his son interrupted him. It was too cold, and the food was about to get cold. He was fed up with the constant chatter.
Looking at the near-cold bowls of porridge on the table, he promptly nodded, “Right, let’s eat first. Sangsang, these wild eggs were found by you. You should eat more to strengthen your body.”
“Oh.”
Lin Caisang responded politely, but didn’t take up the spoon. Instead, she only added a bit of salty vegetables to her bowl.
…
The next day, it was just getting light and Ms.Lu of Lin Family hadn’t even gotten up yet, but Lin Changhong had already prepared his bow and arrows. He called Lin Caisang and Lin Caiqing for a quick porridge breakfast, grabbed some steamed buns, and with Lin Changyi insisting on joining them, they set out the door.
Not far from the nearby woods, there were several young men in the fields. When they saw Lin Changhong, they all greeted him.
“Changhong, we are going hunting up the mountain, why are you bringing girl Caisang along? Are you worried about leaving her at home?”
“Even if your Second Aunt is harsh, she wouldn’t dare to harm girl Caisang in our village, would she? How can you hunt with the ‘whole family’ in tow, you’ve even brought along Changyi?”
“Sangsang won’t be with us, we will separate once we enter the mountain.” Lin Changhong glanced at his sister, then turned his gaze towards Ya Molian, who stood in the middle of the group of men.
“Brother Molian, I have to go back by noon today. I have to go to the town, so I can’t stay with everyone till evening.”
“Hmm.”
Ya Molian merely uttered a low response, not contradicting him.
“Be careful when you are out.” He cast a pointed glance at Lin Caisang.
“Hmm, thank you, Brother Molian, for the reminder. I will be careful.”
Lin Changhong, still young and naive, didn’t understand the hidden meaning in Ya Molian’s words, so he simply replied on cue.
Lin Caisang: “…”
Was that remark intended for her? Was he warning her to not be too presumptuous? That couldn’t be it, Ya Molian had been helping her earlier, it shouldn’t have come to this, but then…
Suddenly, she was jolted as if someone had struck her at the back of her neck, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
Ya Molian was reminding her that Lin Changhong often went to ‘do things’ in Qianlin County, obviously aimed at Liu Baixiao. Those who opposed Liu Baixiao couldn’t possibly be completely unguarded.
Perhaps they wouldn’t notice on the first day, but on the second or third day, they would inevitably send someone to trail behind him secretly. Maybe in a few days, her schemes against Liu Baixiao might reach the Liu family’s ears!
It seemed that she needed to come up with a plan. She couldn’t allow her actions against Liu Baixiao to jeopardize herself and her big brother. That would be too bad a bargain.
“Big Brother, Qing’er, Changyi, and I will be in this forest area. Come look for us before you go to the town. Maybe we’ll find some wild eggs to sell.” Before parting ways with Lin Changhong, she lowered her voice and reminded him in his ear.
“Okay.”

Lin Changhong agreed and then set off with Ya Molian and the others.
“Sister Sangsang, Sister Sangsang, where are the herbs? Let’s go dig them up quickly.” Now that Lin Changhong had left, Lin Changyi brandishing his little trowel, asked Lin Caisang.
“There are herbs everywhere. I will find them for you to dig up. We won’t go too far today; it’s not safe.” Lin Caisang pinched his little face and replied.
If she were alone, she could go anywhere, but with these two little guys with her, she couldn’t be reckless.
“Sister Sangsang, can these herbs really be traded for silver?” Lin Changyi asked again.
Although he was only seven years old, he definitely knew what silver was, and he loved it very much.
