&1t;!--The chapter content begins->"Ningxin?" The woman said in surprise, "Why are you back at this time? Didn't you say you have to stay in the mountains for four or five days?" As she said that, the woman pulled Luo Ningxin's hand into the house, and the boy tiptoed behind Luo Ningxin and also mingled in.

The woman immediately looked stern when she saw this and said, "Didn't your father ask you to stance until dawn?"

The boy said aggrievedly: "It was my aunt who asked me to come back to sleep... My aunt said that not sleeping overnight will delay tomorrow's private school..."

The woman said, "Your aunt is just pampering you. If you dozed off in a private school tomorrow, you will be punished again when you come back until you dare not sleep in a private school!"

Luo Ningxin curled her lips secretly and said to herself: This is too unreasonable!

At this time, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a thin man with a broken right leg was wearing clothes and living with a crutch. He slowly walked out of the room. Looking at his age of 27 or 28, his appearance was quite similar to Luo Ningxin.

Luo Ningxin hurriedly said, "Brother has come out too, brother, sit down!" As he said that, he reached out and pulled over a chair.

The woman sat down with the thin man. The thin man looked at Luo Ningxin and said with concern: "When you are back at this time, what happened in the mountains?" As he said that, his eyes kept looking at Luo Ningxin.

Luo Ningxin smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just that I met an injured person on the mountain. She wanted to borrow my wooden house to recuperate for a while. That person likes quietness and does not want to be disturbed, so I came back overnight."

As he said that, Luo Ningxin took out the silver hairpin with five pearls embedded in it from his arms and handed it to the woman: "Sister-in-law, this is the thank-you gift from that person. It's just right to wear it to my sister-in-law!"

When the woman saw the hairpin, she was obviously surprised and then smiled and said, "Such a valuable hairpin! This is given to you by someone. What are you doing for your sister-in-law? Ning Xin, my sister-in-law knows that you are filial, but my sister-in-law doesn't need these. And you have grown up and are about to kiss her. It's better for you to keep such a valuable hairpin as a dowry!"

"Yes!" said the thin man, "This kind of hairpin is hard to come by. My brother can't buy you a bamboo basket that you have been weaving for a lifetime. Keep it yourself! With this hairpin, no matter who you marry in the future, you won't be angry!"

"If it's a dowry..." the boy suddenly interrupted, "Auntie is going to bring it to Uncle Tianzhuang's house!"

"Winter cold!" Luo Ningxin immediately spat with a flushed face.

The woman smiled and said, "Not bad! Not bad! In most cases, your aunt is going to bring it to your Uncle Tianzhuang's house!"

"Sister-in-law!" Luo Ningxin said. After saying that, he stuffed the hairpin into the woman's hand and said, "Whether sister-in-law keeps it in the bottom of the box or exchanges money for the household expenses, I don't care anymore! I'm giving it to my sister-in-law!" Then she ran out of the main room with a blushing face and headed towards the west room where she lived.

Luo Ningxin went down the mountain overnight and almost didn't sleep all night, so she got up late in the morning. When Luo Ningxin left the house, her brother Luo Yuzhu had already started craftsmanship in the yard. Looking at her brother who was concentrating on weaving bamboo baskets, Luo Ningxin sighed slightly.

I remember that my brother was also a top hunter in the village. He had been hunting for many years with his father, and he was physically strong, skilled in martial arts and rich in experience.

At that time, my father and brother were the pillars of the family. They hunted in the mountains for seven or eight months a year, and they brought back a lot of prey every time they went home. My mother also lived in the world. Her mother took her sister-in-law to do housework, farm, cook, weaving bamboo baskets, and teaching herself to read. That period was the happiest time in Luo Ningxin's life.

However, when Luo Ningxin was nine years old, her brother was bitten by the Aokima jackal with poisonous fangs. If his father hadn't finally killed the poisonous jackal, his brother would probably have been unable to save his life at that time. His father was worried that the poison would spread all over his body, so he endured the pain and cut off his brother's right leg in the forest, and then carried the brother who had lost too much blood and was unconscious back.

The brother with broken legs naturally could not go hunting anymore, so he could only stay at home to do some farm work, learn from his mother's skills to make bamboo baskets and bamboo stools to supplement the household expenses.

From that time on, Luo Ningxin began to replace her brother and followed her father. She and her father lived in a wooden house in the mountains for ten days, hunting pheasants, hares, picking herbs, and then selling them at the market.

This kind of life didn't take long.

When Luo Ningxin was ten years old, her mother suddenly fell seriously ill and died two months later. Without her closest mother, the young Luo Ningxin felt that she had lost the warmest protection and suddenly felt insecurity in life impermanently. At this time, her brother and sister-in-law kept taking care of her meticulously, so that she could get out of sadness and fear as soon as possible.

In Luo Ningxin's memory, his father is a strong, tough person who is not easily out of weakness. "In life, there will be death. Your mother just left this life earlier and was reincarnated. You must be strong!" This is the most common sentence my father said to her during that period.

However, my brother often talked with Luo Ningxin, using his skillful hands to make various gadgets to make her happy. My brother even carved a full body image of his mother with a piece of three-inch-long wood to give her. This lifelike wood carving made Luo Ningxin love it and was placed on the head of the bed.

The elder brother is like a father and the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. This is what Luo Ningxin has the deepest experience during that period.

A year and a half ago, her father, who always taught her to be a leader in the world, passed away. In order to pick a precious herb growing on a cliff, he fell off the cliff and was besieged by two roe deer. Although his injuries were not very serious at the time, he had a high fever after returning home, and he also affected his old injuries. Seven days later, his father passed away.

From then on, Luo Ningxin became the only pillar in the family who could go up the mountain to hunt.

"Ning Xin, are you awake?" Luo Yuzhu couldn't help but smile when he saw his sister being stunned at him.

"Yeah." Luo Ningxin said, "Brother, I only brought back two preys and a few herbs yesterday. What should I do? I feel like I'm losing money when I go to the market for these things! How many bamboo baskets have I made and how many wooden hairpins have I carved these days? Brother, you bought the wooden hairpins you carved in the market!"

Luo Yuzhu said: "You just went to the market to sell a batch a few days ago, and now your family has not saved much. However, you have less things, so you can take them with you and have some time to play at the market. It doesn't matter, you can do it yourself, even if you have a few days to rest at home."
