When Lin Chunnuan walked to the foot of the mountain again, her entire body was swaying a little. When she could not hold on any longer, she slowly squatted down, no, she was dizzy and her stomach hurt too, so she curled herself up on the ground. Right now, she could not care about whether the ground was clean or not, she had to take a good rest.

Lin Chunnuan tried her best to open her eyes.

Seeing the little girl sit up from the ground, he wanted to extend his hand to help, but after looking at his own hand, he put it down again. Although they were both young children, men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other.

Lin Chunnuan looked at the person in front of her as she rummaged through her memories. Actually, Lin Chunnuan didn't know many people from the village either, she was being controlled really well by her grandmother, so other than working, she had no time to play. Other than picking firewood and cutting grass, she had two or three friends from the same village.

The person in front of him was someone he himself was unfamiliar with as well. He appeared to be around twelve to thirteen years old, and his looks were strong and strong, but his clothes were slovenly. Lin Chunnuan, who thought like this, felt joy in her heart.

"Can you move on your own? If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving."

The young lad saw that Lin Chunnuan had sat herself up. Although she was in so much pain that she grimaced in pain, she knew that there was no problem with her actions.

Although he was still dizzy, it was much better than before. It was just that just as he stood there, before he could even speak, Lin Chunnuan's stomach had already started to growl at an inopportune moment. The gurgling sound at the foot of the mountain, was extremely clear to hear.

"Hehe, you're hungry?"

The young lad grinned, extended his hand, and fished out an oily paper ball, directly handing it over to Lin Chunnuan, and without even asking for it, he knew that it was food. Lin Chunnuan was simply too hungry, so she didn't hold back as she reached out to grab it.

At this time, she did not care whether this thing was clean or not, the young lad's slovenly look did not enter her eyes, she was about to starve to death, did she not have it? She opened the oil paper bag and found a steamed bun inside, it did not look good, it was slightly yellow, but in Lin Chunnuan's eyes, it was even more delicious than a beautiful chocolate cake.

Holding the oil paper bag, Lin Chunnuan directly took a big bite out of it, choking the hell out of her mind. She could not care less, she took the next bite, and in a short while, half of the steamed bun was gone. Seeing that Lin Chunnuan was so anxious to eat, the young lad was sure that she could not take it anymore.

"I can't look anymore, I can't take it anymore."

Little girl, take your time and eat, don't choke. After eating, go home. I still have to chop firewood, so I'll be leaving first.

The young lad bid farewell to Lin Chunnuan and sprinted towards the mountain forest without hesitation. However, Lin Chunnuan reached out and grabbed him back, even though she had been spoiled a lot, she was still an adult and could already work. How could she not see the saliva the young lad swallowed just now?

"I can't eat that much. You can have the rest."

Lin Chunnuan had something in her mouth, she spoke in a unclear voice, but her hands were not slow. She carefully broke off the place where she had chewed on before and handed the remaining clean steamed bun over.

"No need, I'm not hungry. Eat by yourself."

The young boy hurriedly waved his hand, gesturing for Lin Chunnuan to eat by himself. Only then did Lin Chunnuan notice that although the young boy's hand was not very white, it was still washed very cleanly. Looking at the young boy's face, it was also clean, it was just that his clothes were a little messy.

If one were to carefully look at his clothes, they would see that they were only slightly worn out, and were not too dirty at all. They were even cleaner than the clothes on's body.

"I'm full, you can eat these. I've nibbled on this before, so I won't give it to you."

Lin Chunnuan placed the broken little edge of her body into her mouth and ate a few food. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the young man in front of him.

The young boy was embarrassed by Lin Chunnuan's stare. He wrapped the remaining half of the steamed bun back up with oil paper and stuffed it into his pocket.

"I'm going to chop firewood first. I'll eat when I'm hungry."

Lin Chunnuan suddenly thought of something and asked in disbelief.

"Is this your dinner?"

The youth was stunned for a moment and his face blushed, as if he had been exposed.

"No, no, I'm just not hungry right now. I'll eat some later."

Lin Chunnuan smiled. In this kind of distant era where she was unfamiliar with life, on the first day of being bullied, she met a person who gave him warmth. She had to grab onto this warmth, or at least, pay back more.

"Oh, then you should take it first. Didn't you say you were going to chop firewood? I also want to take another bundle of firewood home. Why don't we take it together?"

Lin Chunnuan wanted to chat with the young lad for a while longer. She wanted to know who he was, where she lived, and whose family he lived in.

"You can pick firewood at the foot of the mountain. I'm going to chop firewood in the mountains, so I can't take yours with me. The mountains are dangerous, so after you're done picking firewood, just go home and don't let others bully you again."

After the youth finished speaking, he hurriedly ran up the mountain without even glancing at Lin Chunnuan.

Lin Chunnuan regretted that she did not keep her, it was just that, that seemingly escaping posture made Lin Chunnuan confused. It seems like, this young lad was someone with a bit of a story, she had to think of a way to get to know him, with such a clean smile, a pure heart, was definitely someone worth making friends with. Lin Chunnuan decided to treat him as her first friend in this time and space.

As expected, Grandmother did not let her eat after picking up enough firewood, but at least she was able to rest now. Lin Chunnuan brought some water and washed herself thoroughly.

In the following month, Lin Chunnuan did not get beaten up anymore, she only had to work non-stop, and there was no chance for her chapped hands to heal. Of course, being scolded was a must, grandmother would not speak up when she saw Lin Chunnuan and his family, and Lin Chunnuan did not understand why this grandma looked down on his family.

Finally, he got a chance to be beaten up by the old lady. Finally, he was pushed to the door, and was hit in the face by the door frame. It was thanks to the impact, otherwise, the beating would have to continue.

Lin Chunnuan gently caressed her swollen cheek. Although she said the word 'filial piety' meant everything to the world, being scolded for no reason, she could not endure it any longer, it was just that she was currently too weak, and there was nothing she could do to resist at the moment. She had to become stronger first.

had seen this scene too many times, but no matter how angry he was, she couldn't do anything about this Second Aunt, because she had someone to protect her.

After breakfast, Lin Chunnuan who was half-starved led his sister up the mountain again. His sister was picking wild vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks, and also picked some edible wild vegetables along the way. Lin Chunnuan, on the other hand, was quickly picking firewood.

Lin Chunnuan bent his waist, tired. She held onto his waist and wanted to rest for a bit, but when she raised her head, she saw a figure quickly disappearing into the forest.

"Hey, wait a moment, wait a moment."

Lin Chunnuan shouted loudly and waved her hand over, the figure turned back hesitantly, only to realize that someone was calling him. Just as he was about to turn around, he stopped, looked at the wood picking people, and walked back into the forest.

"Hey, I'm calling you. Wait a moment, why are you doing this?"

Lin Chunnuan chased after the back figure. The back figure must have sensed Lin Chunnuan chasing after him and had clearly slowed down, yet it did not stop.

When Lin Chunnuan caught up to him, he was already in the forest.

"Why can't you wait for me for a moment? You clearly saw me calling you."

The young boy looked outside and felt a bit awkward.

"If you have something to say, then just say it. They can't see it here."

"What does it have to do with them that I want to talk to you? Who cares if they can see or not? Are you afraid of meeting people?"

Lin Chunnuan was a little unhappy. Originally, she was still secretly rejoicing at the fact that the two of them had met again, but in the end, she was actually afraid that others would see him talking to her.

"No, no, it's not that I'm afraid of meeting people, it's that I …" "Unlucky, it's better if you don't interact with me too much. If others see you talking to me, then no one will care about you in the future."

What did this mean? How could a living person be unlucky? Lin Chunnuan was stunned, she did not understand.
