Hearing Li Kai's words, Qin Lin looked at him with an amused expression. People always said it was hard to learn good habits but easy to pick up bad ones. Li Kai and Wang Yang had only known each other for a day, yet it seemed Li Kai had already gone astray.
How could he not help make this happen?
So he even took Li Kai for a stroll in the mountains.
The scenery in a mountain village was beautiful, especially when you looked farther into the mountains. It gave you a sense of awe, as if you were immersed in the landscape.
Many villagers had moved to the county town, and almost all the young people had gone away to work.
Only people of his father's generation and some elderly folks remained in the village.
With no younger generation making a racket, the mountain ecosystem had recovered considerably. There were plenty of pheasants darting through the woods.
The two of them even spotted a pair of hedgehogs.
It was a shame that people in the countryside weren't allowed to keep hunting rifles anymore. A little over ten years ago, plenty of villagers had owned rifles and gone up the mountain to hunt pheasants.
"Young Brother Qin, was that a pheasant just now?" Li Kai had grown up in a big city, so he was curious to see one darting through the woods.
Qin Lin nodded. "That's right. There are plenty of wild animals in the mountains. Pheasant stewed with wine is absolutely delicious. Just thinking about it makes your mouth water."
Catching pheasants was a pastime that most country kids couldn't resist. They would take some rice and a basket, prop up the basket with a stick, and lure a pheasant over to eat. Then they could trap it
