Chapter 1261: Chapter 1260: Leaving the Deep Mountains

Fu Xuan Ge and Little Fatty have probably gained some experience in catching fish, coupled with youthful enthusiasm, and soon caught over a dozen fish, all of which Luo Yirui skewered and set on the fire.

"There are so many fish in this river!" Fu Xuan Ge exclaimed with delight.

As for why there are so many fish, the four children have no idea; all they know is that more fish is great because it means more food.

Little Fatty said happily, "This time we must eat our fill; we never know when we’ll get our next meal."

Luo Yirui grinned, "Let’s aim to find someplace with people, then we can have a big feast!"

The slight arrogance on Fu Xuan Ge’s face vanished, replaced by the satisfaction from delicious food. Jing Yuansi was equally unrestrained, despite being separated from Aunt Fei, having learned some unexpected and exciting news, so she was full of motivation.

The four children’s pace wasn’t particularly fast, and during the journey, Luo Yirui once again engaged in talisman making to keep everyone’s energy up. However, Luo Yirui knew that truly maintaining a healthy body primarily depended on regular rest and nutritious food, and relying solely on the talismanic water wasn’t enough, as his mom called it neglecting the fundamentals.

Finally, as dusk approached, the four children emerged from the mountains and saw a dirt road that was not very wide.

Spotting the dirt road, the four of them were overjoyed; as long as they found signs of people, they could go home!

"I really want to lie on my soft bed and eat a huge tub of popcorn!" Little Fatty fantasized, the chill of the night unable to dampen his joy.

Fu Xuan Ge smirked, "You still have to gain back the weight."

Over the past few days, Little Fatty had lost several pounds, which was evident even without a scale.

Little Fatty scoffed at Fu Xuan Ge’s remark, "How can I have the energy to continue losing weight if I’m not full?"

Fu Xuan Ge was speechless at his audacious reasoning, proving that a thick skin indeed makes one invincible.

Jing Yuansi had grown accustomed to chatting and joking with Fu Xuan Ge, who typically had a haughty manner. After getting to know him, she discovered he wasn’t so difficult to get along with.

"Brother Xiao Rui, let’s go that way." Little Fatty tugged at Luo Yirui, intending to walk, but realized Luo Yirui wasn’t budging, prompting him to glance back and notice the absence of happiness on Luo Yirui’s face.

"What’s up, Brother Xiao Rui?" Little Fatty asked, recognizing that along the way, Luo Yirui’s sharp intuition, quick adaptation, and remarkable analytical skills far surpassed theirs.

He was particularly eager to know what Luo Yirui’s dad had taught him, it was super cool!

Luo Yirui shook his head without speaking, "We better be cautious and try to avoid the road for now."

Little Fatty asked confusedly, "Why?"

Fu Xuan Ge thought carefully and said, "Do you think the Nie Family will just let us go so easily?"

Luo Yirui nodded.

Little Fatty burst into laughter, "We’ve already escaped, can the Nie Family’s reach extend here? Moreover, how would they know we ran here?"

Fu Xuan Ge rolled his eyes at him, "Has your brain moved to your gut? We have no idea how deep the Nie Family’s roots go, and this incident must be a heavy blow for them. They might not let go of it so easily."

Luo Yirui hoped he was overthinking, but considering even his mom and dad found the enemy troublesome when working together, could such a threat really be dissolved so effortlessly? What if the Nie Family had more than just this ’factory’?
