I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 224 Let’s go inside

Wei Lan thought Gu Chao was back, but there was no one in the room.

“Sister Lan, I’m going to collect firewood in the mountains, do you want to come with me?”

You Lan appeared out of nowhere and looked at Wei Lan standing in front of her brother's room with curiosity in her eyes.

 “Go, I’ll clean up and I’ll be back.”

Wei Lan twitched the corners of his lips and returned to the courtyard to pour the river shrimp into the basin and raise them.

While he was busy, Wei Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the military kettle and unscrewed the cap and took a look. After faintly seeing the white goat milk inside, Wei Lan re-tightened the cap.

Looking inside the cloth package again, it turned out to be a piece of mutton with half of the suet.

What does it mean to avoid seeing her even though she is back?

Wei Lan pursed her pink lips slightly. The general put the kettle and mutton into the water bucket, then slowly put them into the well, and tied the other end of the rope firmly to the stone pillar.

 Going back to the house, she changed into a pair of homespun clothes, scattered her hair and combed it into a neat bun. Wei Lan took out a large backpack filled with groceries from the backyard, and then went out with You Lan.

Autumn has been here for a while. Looking at the yellow and green mountains behind the tea mountain from a distance, it is really beautiful.

 After walking for half an hour and gradually walking into the mountains, I realized that there was already a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground.

 Falled leaves can ignite fires, while dead branches are used to make fires for cooking. There are many dead branches halfway up the mountain.

Wei Lan bent down and was about to pick it up when You Lan pulled her back.

Youlan's little face was full of excitement, and she led Wei Lan deeper into the mountain forest. "There are many wild fruits in the mountains this season. Sister Lan, let's go inside!"

Wei Lan turned back and looked down the mountain. She saw that this small hill was not far from the brigade. Everyone usually collected firewood here, so she relaxed a little.

Just thinking that there is another mountain connected behind this mountain, and fearing that large beasts will come here, just in case, Wei Lan still warned: "Just go a little further, don't go too far in."

"I know! Sister Lan!" Youlan was jumping with joy and smiling strangely, as if she was looking forward to the next trip.

Trees encircled the forest path, Youlan trotted ahead looking left and right, and Wei Lan followed behind with a small step carrying a basket on his back.

The forest is green and green, and traces of small animals can occasionally be seen in the gaps between fallen leaves. The chirping of birds can be heard in the ears, and the freshness of the earth and the faint smell of rotten wood can be smelled before the nose.

After walking on such a forest path for a while, Wei Lan took a deep breath. The feeling of being close to nature made her relax, and the melancholy in her heart dissipated.

The two of them walked forward along the trail. Soon after a turn, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the surrounding trees became denser.

Just as Wei Lan was about to say that he could just walk up to this point, he saw You Lan shouting "Ah" and then disappeared into the bushes with small steps.

 “Youlan, wait!”

Wei Lan was worried that something might happen to Youlan, so she had no choice but to follow him.

 “Sister Lan, look!”

Wei Lan walked through the bushes. The bushes were densely grown, and the small branches scratched her skin, causing a slight sting.

As soon as Wei Lan reached out to pick up the fallen leaves on her body, she saw You Lan's face full of joy and she was holding something up for her to see.

Orange-yellow, egg-sized, wild persimmon.

Wei Lan pulled out the backpack stuck inside from the bushes, stood still, raised his head and looked around.

I originally thought that the trees would become denser as we walked further in, but unexpectedly, after getting through the bushes, the world suddenly opened up.
