Xue Xingzhou suddenly had an epiphany. It was time to pull himself together and live life to the fullest.
He didn't want to have any more regrets in this life.
Since Xue Yue wasn't heading back until the afternoon, the siblings decided to go up the mountain. Xue Yue even brought a basket, thinking that if she was lucky, she could pick some mushrooms to help her brother eat a little better.
"Big Brother, we should hurry and gather more firewood these next few days. It's about to get cold, and once it snows, we won't be able to come up the mountain."
In this era, there was a lot of undeveloped land, so almost every village had a mountain nearby, big or small, covered in trees.
"He Lang and I came up the mountain yesterday, Big Brother. You won't believe it, but I found a clutch of wild eggs—more than a dozen of them."
"Really?"
Xue Yue nodded. "Mhm, I found them halfway up. It's a bit of a shame I didn't see the hen, though."
