Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Return to the Trap

Bai Junjun was already about to leave when the person behind her saw the lard candle and let out a frustrated sigh. Then, he pointed at her and called her a "family ruiner."

"???" Bai Junjun felt insulted.

This guy... to think she kindly offered him a candle and he didn’t even thank her, instead accusing her of being wasteful?

Should she take it back then?

However, before Bai Junjun could speak up, Li Wenli had already sadly taken the lard lamp back to his room.

"..." Bai Junjun.

That night, Xiao Shan slept downstairs with Li Wenli and Bai Lingyu, and the two sisters had the third floor’s room to themselves.

At first, Bai Junjun was worried that Xiao Shan might not be used to sleeping there and would get up in the middle of the night looking for someone.

But it turns out she was worrying too much. Perhaps it was the natural inclination for boys to enjoy playing with other boys, or maybe Xiao Shan’s adaptability was just strong. In any case, the downstairs quickly quieted down.

Feeling reassured, Bai Junjun slowly fell asleep as well.

The next morning, while Bai Junjun was still sleeping, an exclamation came from downstairs.

"Where did all these birds come from?"

Clearly, the newcomers, Li Wenli and Bai Lingyu, were startled by the wall of birds.

After the surprise, they happily began collecting birds.

The fat ones were caught, the skinny ones released. Xiao Shan, seeing them so energetically engaged, joined in as well.

When Bai Junjun came downstairs, this was the scene she witnessed.

At that moment, Li Wenli was seriously catching birds. He had somehow gotten his hands on a vine and strung the birds he fancied into a row.

When he saw Bai Junjun come down, Li Wenli couldn’t care less about the birds. He handed the string of birds to Bai Lingyu and, grabbing Bai Junjun, started walking outside.

"?" Bai Junjun, puzzled: "What for?"

"We’re going to get some stuff for roasting birds," Li Wenli answered as if it were obvious: "Don’t you want to try some charcoal-grilled little birds?"

"..." Bai Junjun was silent, but her body honestly followed him.

The elder sister went off with Li Wenli just like that, leaving the three kids behind with puzzled faces: "Where are you going?"

"Just make a fire here and wait for us to come back," Li Wenli said and then sped up his pace.

Bai Junjun, half-pushed and half-willing, followed him, and soon they arrived at a familiar place.

The Quicksand Formation was still in motion, and quite a few animals had fallen into it while passing by.

Among them was a big wild boar, which seemed not to have been trapped for long as it struggled desperately upon seeing humans.

Li Wenli’s eyes lit up: "What do you think are the chances of taming it into a domestic animal?"

"It might take you three generations," Bai Junjun said with clear logic.

Li Wenli shook his head in disappointment: "Then forget it."

Without looking back, he walked into the Misdirection Tracing Array on the left.

Bai Junjun couldn’t help but be curious; at first, she didn’t know what Li Wenli was here for, but seeing the wild boar in the Quicksand Formation, she felt she understood his intent.

Was this guy here to scavenge for prey?

Yet, with the prey right in front of him, he didn’t even glance at it and continued walking forward, which caused Bai Junjun to question again.

Charcoal-grilled little birds... Was he going to look for charcoal?

Seeing Bai Junjun stopped in her tracks, Li Wenli thought she was reluctant to leave the big wild boar behind and, without turning back, explained: "It must have fallen in last night, and it still has a lot of strength now. Pulling it out would be a loss for both of us. Let’s starve it for three days and nights and then come back to take advantage of it."

"..." Bai Junjun.

As unladylike as it was, she had to admit he was making sense.

Li Wenli seemed to have a clear goal, so he didn’t dawdle through the Misdirection Array like he did the day before, but during his swift walk, he coughed a few times inadvertently. Although it was very subtle, Bai Junjun still noticed his discomfort.
