"Are you guys alright?" When Fang Ping heard Xin 'er's words, he came over and touched their foreheads.
"It's fine. Nothing happened at all.”
Fang Yun did not want Fang Ping to worry." Let's go back quickly.”
"Yes, we're done resting!" Xin-er said.
The three of them returned to the stream at the foot of the mountain. Fang Ping put down his basket, set up a bonfire, and prepared to roast fish.
"If you roast it with salt and pepper, this fish will definitely be delicious.”Fang Ping said.
These days, Fang Yun and the others often went to the fields and up the mountains. Sometimes, they caught sparrows, sometimes, they dug out bird eggs and wild eggs, and sometimes, they simply ate fresh wild vegetables.
These things had to be seasoned to taste good, and the Fang family only had coarse salt.
Fang Yun took some coarse salt and made it into refined salt. Then, he ground the pepper into powder and stir-fried it in an iron pot to make pepper salt.
Of course, the food cooked with salt and pepper was more delicious.
Fang Yun and Xin 'er sat around the bonfire, watching Fang Ping roast the fish.
" Little Seven, here you go. The fish is cooked." Fang Ping finished grilling the fish, picked the fattest one and handed it to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun took the fish. The fish had been smeared with pepper and salt on the inside and outside. The skin was already crispy. Even before he put it into his mouth, the fragrance was already tempting enough.
Fang Yun put the grilled fish to his mouth and suddenly thought of the person in the mountains.
The fact that he could come out safely meant that the person did not want to kill him. He was thinking too much.
He wondered how that person was doing now.
…………
On the other side of the mountain.
When the man saw that Fang Yun and Xin 'er had disappeared, he snapped his fingers.
Immediately, a dozen men in tight-fitting clothes jumped out as if they had appeared from the ground.
The leader was a tall man. He walked forward and knelt on one knee in front of the man.
"All the killers have been killed. Your subordinate came late and frightened you. Please punish me.”
The man waved his hand, and the man quickly got up and helped the man up from the ground.
"Sir, your injuries…"
"It's fine for now. It's already been dealt with.”The man said," Let's go back to the prefecture first before making a decision.”
"Yes, Milord. The carriage has been prepared at the foot of the mountain.”
The man nodded.
"Milord…do you still need to deal with the aftermath?”The man hesitated for a moment before asking.
The aftermath he was talking about naturally did not refer to the corpse beside him, because he had already instructed his two brothers to move the corpse away and dispose of it.
He was asking Fang Yun and Fang Xiner.
" Your Excellency's trip here is confidential. If you accidentally reveal even the slightest bit..." the man said carefully.
Normally, he wouldn't even need to ask.
Daren had always been straightforward in his actions and would never be soft-hearted.
Just now, when he saw the adults send the siblings away, he thought that the adults did not want them to die in front of him because the children had stopped the bleeding and bandaged his wounds.
At that time, he had already thought of which brother he would send to deal with it.
However, to his surprise, the adult stopped the child and asked for his name.
Fang Yun.
If Daren wanted Fang Yun dead, he wouldn't have done anything unnecessary.
Although he thought so, he still asked.
That was because no one could know of Daren's whereabouts.
" Secret…" The man sneered." If it's really a secret, where did these killers come from?!"”
"It's all my negligence." the tall man hurriedly said.
"It wasn't you, it was me…I underestimated them.”the man said.
He waved at a young man next to him." Thirteen, come here."”
The one called Thirteen quickly walked up to the man.
" You…" The man whispered into Thirteen's ear.
"This subordinate will obey." Thirteen agreed and disappeared behind the bushes in a few jumps.

Fang Ping was enjoying a fish when he raised his head and saw Fang Yun staring blankly at the fish, not eating a single bite.
Xin 'er didn't eat a single bite of the fish.
"What's wrong with you guys? Isn't the fish delicious?”Fang Ping asked hurriedly.
"No, I suddenly remembered that I forgot something very important.”Fang Yun said.
"What is it?" Fang Ping said.
"When I came out in the morning, Mother instructed me to pull out two baskets of grass, as long as it's from the grassland at the foot of Nanshan Hill.”Fang Yun said.
"Oh, that's it. There's no hurry. I'll go. I'll get two baskets in a while.”Fang Ping said.
"It's getting late. We should go home.”Fang Yun said.
"Then I'll go now." Fang Ping stood up.
" Xin 'er, come with me." Fang Yun looked at Xin 'er.
"No, I…I still want to eat fish.”Xin 'er took a bite of the grilled fish in her hand.
"Alright, then we'll wait here for brother to come back.”Fang Yun said.
Fang Ping picked up the basket and ate the grilled fish while heading to the field.
Fang Yun watched as Fang Ping walked away and could no longer be seen. He quickly wrapped the grilled fish with leaves.
"Second brother, you want to send fish to that person?”Xiner asked.
"Yes, stay here and wait for me to come back.”Fang Yun said.
"No, I want to go too." Xin 'er said stubbornly.
"That…is dangerous!" Fang Yun threatened her.
"You knew it was dangerous, yet you still went?" Xin 'er pouted.
"Alright, I'm impressed. Just wait for me at the foot of the mountain later.”
"Yes."
Fang Yun had no choice but to pull Xin 'er and quickly walk towards the mountain bay at the back of the mountain.
