The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Xiao Lin also brought a kite, and the three of them chatted and laughed as they went to a remote, open area.

Two female classmates accompanied Li Tian, ​​while Li Muchen and the others did not join in.

Instead, they took turns playing badminton.

Lunch was also eaten together by the six of us.

Xiao Lin and Wang Juan must have come from well-off families, at least they both used insulated containers to bring their own lunch.

The meal also included meat, eggs, and fruit.

A few people can put together a meal, and it's enough to make a feast.

After a hearty lunch, Li Tian suggested going for a walk in the mountains, not too far.

Since we're already here, we should at least get familiar with the surroundings.

Others, who were also bored, responded enthusiastically.

Li Tian wrapped the whip around his waist and also carried a water bottle.

The others did the same. What if they got thirsty while walking without water?

As for whips, no one else besides Li Muchen has any.

The place where they planted the trees was actually at the foot of the mountain.

Fearing safety accidents, the school dares not let students go to the steep hillside.

Moreover, teachers were stationed at several key intersections to prevent them from going up the mountain on their own.

Li Tian was bold, and those others weren't cowards either.

They bypassed the teacher's checkpoint and climbed the mountain through the pathless woods.

In early spring, the mountains are still a gray-yellow landscape, with only a few scattered dark green accents.

But the tender buds of plants are hidden in these gray and yellow hues, just waiting for the spring rain to awaken their delicate beauty.

There were quite a few birds, chirping and flying around.

Busy figures were exposed in the woods.

In spring, all things come to life, and they should be busy building nests to welcome the arrival of new life.

As for scenery, there's basically none.

As I said before, since we're already here, we should climb to the top of the mountain to make the trip worthwhile.

This mountain isn't very high, probably only four or five hundred meters.

Several strong teenagers reached the highest point in one go.

Looking down from a high place, everything looks small, and some things are even too small to see clearly.

The beauty of mountain climbing lies in the process of climbing.

Having a view from the mountaintop is a pleasant surprise; if there's no view, you can still enjoy the breeze.

Li Tian looked down at her feet.

She knew that those with connections and money in later generations had contracted a lot of land in the suburbs.

She also has this ambition.

In the future, I can ride horses or motorcycles as I please on my own turf.

Want to lease a piece of land? You can't do it without money, but you can't do it without connections either.

She'll focus on making money first. As for relationships, she shouldn't lack them; the main question is who will be more convenient to contact in the future.

Li Tian simply looked around and didn't reveal her dream.

What can be realized in the future is a dream; what cannot be realized is just a fantasy.

There's no point in telling my friends this now.

After drinking some water and resting, the group began their return journey.

They were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock, and they couldn't be late.

They returned to the campsite in a relaxed atmosphere, chatting and laughing.

When they arrived, everyone had already started packing their things, and they quietly returned to where they had left their schoolbags.

Li Tian opened her schoolbag, preparing to tidy up the space inside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I put my finger in, I touched something soft and alive.

Because it moved when I touched it.

Li Tian reflexively threw her schoolbag away.

She's quite brave, but she's still a little afraid of mollusks like snakes.

Despite having seen many snakes, insects, and rodents in the rainforest, she felt a deep-seated aversion to touching them.

Li Muchen reacted the fastest, and he was also the closest to Li Tian.

"Tian Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

Li Tian pointed to her schoolbag in a panic.

"Brother, I have something in my bag..."

Li Muchen, with a sullen face, went over and picked up Li Tian's schoolbag.

They flipped it over and shook out everything inside.

When his backpack was empty, Li Muchen picked up a small wooden stick and began to carefully search through the pile of things.

Finally, they pulled out two earthworms.

"Tian Tian, ​​it's just an earthworm, don't be afraid."

Earthworms like damp soil, so they certainly didn't crawl into the backpack on their own.

If it's not a coincidence, then it must be man-made.

Someone wanted to use this to scare Li Tian.

Li Tian had already thought of this. While Li Muchen was rummaging through his things, she had already begun to observe the classmates around her.

The instigator will not miss the opportunity to enjoy her making a fool of herself.

They must be keeping a close eye on what's happening here.

Xiao Lin and Wang Juan also thought of this.

Putting things in a girl's bag is the most common way to prank someone.

They initially thought it was Qin Tao, who had two conflicts in one day.

But after watching for a while, Qin Tao was no longer in their sight.

It was probably not her who did it, and besides, not many girls dare to catch earthworms.

Li Tian suddenly pointed to a thin boy and asked Xiao Lin.

"Who is that person?"

Xiao Lin followed Li Tian's hand and looked in that direction.

"That person isn't in our class. I've seen him before, but I don't know his name."

Li Muchen tossed the earthworm aside and began tidying up Li Tian's things, wiping away any dirt-covered areas with a handkerchief.

Hearing their conversation, Li Muchen stood up.

"Tian Tian, ​​do you think that person did it?"

Li Tian nodded.

If we're talking about the most suspicious person, it has to be that person.

He wasn't in their class, yet he was standing on the edge of their class, and importantly, he was clearly looking in their direction.

Shen Yi carried an earthworm in each hand and approached Li Muchen.

"Let's go, let's go meet that person."

Li Muchen didn't let Li Tian come along; since it was a boy, he was enough.

Xiao Hong followed along to show his support.

Xiao Lin looked at Li Tian with envy.

"Li Tian, ​​your brother is so good to you, I'm starting to get jealous of you."

Li Tian grabbed her schoolbag and started stuffing things into it.

"My brother is indeed a good brother. If you also have a brother, you can raise him well yourself."

Xiao Lin reached out and touched Li Tian's forehead.

"You don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about? Dear brother, do you think I could raise someone like that? If my parents were capable, they would have raised him long ago."

Li Tian smiled.

"How could your own brother not love you? You just haven't been using the right way to communicate. If being forceful doesn't work, try being gentle."

"Li Muchen is my cousin. We grew up together and our relationship is even better than that of biological siblings."

"My aunt works in the border region and rarely comes back. My mother also sacrificed her life. Maybe it's because we are both children without mothers that we understand each other better and spend more time together."

Xiao Lin and Wang Juan each grabbed one of Li Tian's hands.

"I'm sorry, Li Tian, ​​for bringing up something that hurts you."

Li Tian shook hands with them in return.

"It's alright. Ignorance is no excuse. We're used to it. We have plenty of family love and care. We're healthy and thriving."

Xiao Lin patted Li Tian on the shoulder.

"You're great, your brother's great, better than many of us."

Wang Juan mimicked Xiao Lin's words.

"Your brother is good too."

"That's someone else's brother, aren't you ashamed?"

Xiao Lin was mocked, so she started playfully fighting with Wang Juan.

Li Tian smiled and continued packing her things.

Before they had finished packing, Li Muchen and the other two returned.

Li Tian couldn't see anything unusual, so she asked.

"Did that person do it?"
