ch 3.2 - White Lies (1/2)

An hour later!

Cheng Xiao Xiao found a cave in a more secluded valley. The cave was dark and mysterious looking. She wanted to go further in to investigate but stopped and thought about it for a minute. She then produced a few chickens, rabbits, and white radish and put them inside the cave.

Once she had everything set up, she took the same path back. By the time she met up with her two brothers, they had already collected an ample amount of firewood. She didn't have time rest, she shouted out to them, ”Zheng Yuan! Zheng Bin!”

”Big sister! You are back!”

”Eh, big sister, what's that in your hand? And two chicken?”

Cheng Xiao Xiao had secretly took out two chicken and ten white radish from the dimension. The two brother curiously looked at the white radishes in her hand. She smiled, ”Zheng Yuan, Zheng Bin, I was looking for herbs when I came across a cave. That's when I discovered the chickens and these!”

”There's chickens in a cave? Big brother, let's go get the chickens!” Little Zheng Bin was very excited.

Why collect firewood when there were chickens to be caught? They haven't had meat in a long time!

Zheng Yuan was quite tempted himself, but he didn't say anything right away. He looked at his big sister.

Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and shook her head, ”I don't think that will do us any good. It look me a lot of effort to catch these two. The rest had all ran away.”

The two brothers were disappointed. Zheng Yuan looked at the white radishes in Cheng Xiao Xiao's arm and asked, ”Big sister, what are these? Are they tasty?”

”Of course they are tasty! I saw the chickens pecking at them, so I tried one myself. I am still fine, ain't I?” She smiled and explained while handing one over to them, ”Here, why don't you guys clean one up and try!”

”Okay!”

”I am starving!”
