Chapter 26: Unable to Climb

iberately draw those broken eyebrows to look tough.And he was really manly, even with that chopped eyebrow. He emanated a strong masculine aura all over his body.Fang Jinshi's heart, which had been ca...Zong Bai got up earlier than both of them, to be precise, anyone in the Zong family got up earlier than Fang Jinxiu.

When she came out, she smelled the fragrance and saw Zongbai coming out of the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, I made some vegetable cakes. You and brother can eat them on the road."

Fang Jinshi hadn't reacted yet when a package of steamed buns wrapped in cloth was stuffed into her hand. They were warm, and she felt touched.

She walked to Zong Bai's side and, in the astonished gaze of the two brothers, patted him on the shoulder.

"Zong Bai, you are truly kind and intelligent. Any woman who marries you will be very fortunate!"

She had probably never met many men who could cook in her past life. Zongbai was only fifteen years old; he was still a middle school student in modern times.

Parents would love to hold them in their hands and raise them, so why would they do these rough jobs.

Children from poor families become responsible at an early age. That's absolutely true.

Zong Yu suddenly walked over with a dark face, effortlessly using his body to separate them and pushed Zong Bai aside.

"Take the rabbit skins you peeled yesterday and clean them thoroughly. We won't sell these furs for now; we'll keep them for the winter."

Zong Bai didn't notice anything amiss, he nodded and immediately went to work as instructed by his elder brother.

Fang Jinshu was still rummaging through the package of vegetable cakes, taking out a small piece to taste.

It's hard to describe the taste.

It's understandable, since their family lacks salt and oil, anything they make would be a miracle if it was edible.

She saw Zongyu looking over, so she quickly wrapped up the pastry.

I didn't cheat, I just smelled the flavor.

Zongyu frowned and grunted, "Let's go."

He shouldered the wild boar and strode with long legs, moving incredibly fast. Fang Jinshu hurriedly turned around to catch up.

But just now, Zong Yu's face didn't seem very happy, did it

She secretly smacked her lips, she shouldn't have sneaked a bite just now.

This guy is tall and has long legs. He strides with a powerful presence, carrying a wild boar weighing over a hundred pounds and still moving so fast. It's almost inhuman.

Fang Jinxiu had to jog to keep up with his pace.

The original owner's body had been malnourished for a long time, they were very thin and lacked stamina.

She started to gasp for breath after a while.

Zong Yu heard the footsteps behind him slowing, he stopped in his tracks and waited until Fang Jinxiu caught up.

"Do you, do you like men who can cook"

He suddenly asked this question out of the blue, leaving Fang Jinshu somewhat confused.

"Huh"

Zong Yu immediately retracted his gaze and looked away, "It's nothing."

He crouched down with his back to Fang Jinshu, "Come on, I'll carry you."

Looking at the man's broad and muscular back, she really wanted to pounce on him right away.

But recalling her solemn vow to the family yesterday, swearing she wouldn't hold them back, she couldn't possibly go back on her word the next day.

Fang Jinshu hurriedly quickened her pace and stepped forward, saying, “No need, you’ll be much more tired carrying such a big wild boar for ten or so miles.”

"I, I'm not that useless yet."

She had just left home and couldn't be so useless.

Zong Yu saw that she refused and didn't say anything. He carried the wild boar and followed Fang Jinshu behind.

This time, I wasn't going as fast. I kept a similar pace with her.

After about half an hour, the two were still lost in the mountains. The sun had already come out, and Fang Jinshu was so tired that she gasped for breath like a cow. Her back was soaked with sweat.

It's not that she lacks perseverance. Climbing mountains with the original owner's body is a challenge for anyone.

She stepped on a stone, her foot slipped, and her body was simply too weak to hold up. With a shriek, she saw herself about to roll down the slope.

All of these are dead tree trunks. If you fall down, your body might be pierced into a sieve.

Fang Jinshu's face turned pale, and she instinctively cried out.

"Zongyu, save me!"

Just as she uttered the first word, Zong Yu's arm had already circled her waist, securely holding her in his embrace.

"Don't try to be brave, you're not even as heavy as a piglet. Even if I had two of you, it wouldn't slow me down."

As he spoke, he lifted Fang Jinshu with one hand.

"Hold me around my neck, it's not easy to fall."r house is still quite a distance from the village," Mu said, her face full of confusion. "Is it really possible for your daughter-in-law to do this""And the villagers wouldn't agree to it either."Aft...
