Chapter 267 Eating a Bamboo Leaf
Time always seems to fly by when we're playing. It often feels like I've just gotten into the swing of things, and then it's all over...
In less than two incense sticks' time, the two sisters had almost completely wiped out the snow in the bamboo forest, except for the piles of snow and mud mixed on the ground.
It wasn't completely gone; the two of them still had a lot of snow on them, and they looked like two snowmen standing there!
If they lay down on the ground and didn't move, they would instantly blend into the snow, and probably ten enemies wouldn't be able to find them.
The two sisters watched as the harpoons ripped away the soil beneath the snow and knocked all the snow off the bamboo leaves. There was nothing left to play with, and if they continued, it would just lead to a real fight, so they finally stopped their battle.
"We're running low on ammunition here, otherwise I would have utterly thrashed you today, hmph!" Lin Lanshan shook her head and swayed her body for a while, just like An'an and Kang Kang usually do, before finally shaking off some of her "white hair."
Then he jumped on the ground a few more times, shook off the snow particles covering his body, and finally looked like a person.
Lin Chunyi shook off the snow, rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, and said, "You still have the nerve to say that? You pried up all the snow on the ground, so you desperately tried to throw mud at me! Don't you have any nerve?"
She stubbornly shouted, "So what! So what! We were short of ammunition, so I made some myself!"
Lin Chunyi pointed at her gray, white, and red face and said, "What's wrong? Hurry up and wipe the mud off your lips. People who don't know better will think that our family is so poor that you have to go out and eat dirt."
Lin Lanshan subconsciously licked her lips and, sure enough, tasted a small piece of dirt. She wiped her face haphazardly while spitting out several "pui" sounds.
Lin Chunyi, who was laughing so hard she was about to burst out laughing, suddenly lost her balance, slipped, and bounced down on her bottom.
"..." Her head buzzed for a moment, and she looked completely bewildered.
What? What happened? Why did she suddenly sit down?
The air was silent for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before Lin Lanshan finally reacted. Pointing at her, she let out a laugh that pierced through the bamboo forest and almost echoed through the valley.
If not now, when?
"Sis, look at you, so young, why are you sitting down so easily? It's just a snowball fight, is it that tiring?"
Lin Chunyi jumped up with her harpoon, not even bothering to brush the dirt off her backside, and stabbed him with the fork. "Laugh again? I'll throw you up onto a bamboo pole with this fork, you believe me!"
Her face was flushed red, whether from anger or heat, it was hard to tell.
Seeing her sister's expression, Lin Lanshan realized she was furious and embarrassed. She instinctively felt that if she laughed again, she might really be speared and hung on a bamboo pole...
She quickly straightened her mouth, which had been trying to curve upwards, and her eyes widened and darted around, no longer looking at her sister who was holding the "deadly weapon."
As she looked back at the harpoon in front of her, she cautiously said, "Oh dear, I should cut down the bamboo! This one, this one doesn't look very good, I'll cut this one down!"
After saying that, he took out a wood-chopping knife from his spatial storage, randomly selected a "lucky bamboo" two meters away from his sister, and chopped it down without hesitation.
The bamboo was growing perfectly well, soundly hibernating, when it was inexplicably called ugly and then cut down to be made into boxes...
Well, anyway, nobody knows how miserable bamboo's life is...
She cut a large notch in a not-so-good-looking bamboo stalk at the base and then slowly fell down from a height.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo they casually cut down was quite old; they only realized it was at least fifteen meters long after it fell.
They abandoned their plan to cut two, as one was enough!
It was such a big tree that it was difficult to drag it across the snow, so the two of them had to cut it in half. Then each of them dragged a section along the way home.
The snow was much more slippery than the grass, so dragging the bamboo was relatively easy. However, the top section had too many branches and kept getting stuck in some uneven places, so Lin Chunyi had to pull hard every now and then.
On their way home from the bamboo forest in the valley, they left two deep shoe prints, long trails of dragged bamboo, and round holes in the snow where harpoons had been driven into the snow.
Along the way, the two didn't notice that they had played in the snow even more intensely than last year, burying themselves completely in the snow, yet they didn't feel cold at all.
I dragged the bamboo for a while, and even broke out in a sweat...
Reaching her doorstep, Lin Lanshan jabbed a harpoon into the middle of the front door, accompanied by a loud "thump! creak!" She then shouted:
"I, Hu Hansan, have finally returned! Hahahaha!"
Who opens their door like that? I don't know, but there's no one respectable in their family.
After all, besides Lin Lanshan, who's always causing trouble, Lin Chunyi, the older sister, isn't exactly serious either.
Otherwise, she could have walked the whole way with a harpoon, constantly "pressing pressure points" on her sister's back...
Lin Lanshan, who had been pushed along the way, dared not complain and could only quicken her pace to get home. She managed to walk at her usual speed on the difficult snowy ground and arrived home much earlier than usual.
"Peach, may you be reunited and healthy! Look what delicious food I brought back for you! Come out quickly!"
Because of the cold weather and the thick snow on the ground, Peach and Reunion have not gone out since yesterday.
They all obediently nestled in their furry nests, living a life of eating when they woke up, defecating when they ate, and sleeping again after defecating, thus fattening themselves up.
However, their love of food is hard to change. As soon as they hear there is food, they switch from a lazy state to sprint mode.
Peach, known for her long legs and incredible speed, was naturally the first to rush out, "Ugh!"
Delicious! Where is the delicious food?
After a while, An'an and Kang Kang, whose legs were much shorter than Peach's, finally appeared, struggling to move forward in the snow by following the footprints left by the two sisters. "Giggle~"
"Coo! Coo!" The last one to arrive was a round shape, visible only from a distance in the snow, with its neck and head barely discernible.
The little creatures looked around their two owners, circling them again and again until the owners were dizzy, but they still couldn't find anything to eat.
An'an and Kang Kang took a bite of bamboo leaf uncertainly, then looked at their two owners, "Huh?"
Lin Lanshan nodded affirmatively at them, her face showing an expression that said, "Yes, yes, that's it."
They took a bite with some skepticism, then spat it out, their faces showing confusion. Perhaps it was too cold, and their beaks were numb from the cold, preventing them from tasting anything. Trusting their owner, they decided to try again.
So they slurped up two more slices, and hmm... this taste really doesn't seem right...
