Lu Fan was helpless, so he took Li Jingjing into the mountains. He had originally planned to go to the wild man's cave, but with Li Jingjing, he had to reconsider.
"Brother Fan! Do you know that Sister Shen also likes you?" On the way, Li Jingjing suddenly blinked her big eyes and looked up at Lu Fan, asking.
"Tch! What do kids know about liking and disliking?" Lu Fan gave Li Jingjing a sideways glance, thinking to himself, how long has this girl been back to her senses? She actually understands these things! Humph!
"Hehe! Of course I know! Because I can read minds!" Li Jingjing suddenly said with a smug smile.
"Mind reading?" Lu Fan was stunned. Does mind reading really exist in this world? Legends say only immortals or something similar can do these things. Could this child be...?
"Tch! Brother Fan! Are you overthinking it? I'm just Jingjing, not what you're thinking!" Li Jingjing said indignantly, giving Lu Fan a sideways glance.
"You... know what I'm thinking?" Lu Fan was instantly stunned. Can this girl really read minds?
"Of course I know! As long as I look into your eyes, I know what you're thinking! So, in the future, don't look into my eyes when you're thinking bad things! Hehe! Otherwise... hmph hmph!" Li Jingjing said triumphantly.
"Oh my god... it seems I'll have to wear a pair of big sunglasses tomorrow." Lu Fan's forehead was covered in black lines. Hadn't this girl seen through his flirtations with Liu Ruyan before? In the future, when making plans for mischief, he really couldn't have this girl around.
"So, I said Sister Shen also likes you, do you believe me now?" Li Jingjing said with a giggle.
Lu Fan was stunned for a moment. Since Liu Ruyan had moved into his house last time, Shen Xinyi hadn't visited the village again.
Before long, the two arrived at the pine forest. Lu Fan had Li Jingjing dismount from Second Sister and then had Second Sister walk ahead, while they followed far behind.
Second Sister hummed as she ran through the pine forest, seemingly very familiar with the place. Li Jingjing could keep up at first, but after less than fifty meters, she was out of breath and couldn't keep up.
Lu Fan was in a bad mood, knowing he shouldn't have brought this girl.
"Jingjing, ride on me." Lu Fan squatted down and called to Li Jingjing.
"Ride... do I really have to ride on you?" Li Jingjing's face instantly turned red. However, seeing Lu Fan's serious expression, she climbed onto Lu Fan's neck.
"Hold on tight! I won't be responsible if you fall." Lu Fan stood up and chased after Second Sister.
"Oh no..." Li Jingjing exclaimed, feeling the wind whistling past her ears and her body tilting backward. She quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Fan's forehead.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...! Lu Fan sprinted, chasing after Second Sister. In a short while, he saw Second Sister's figure.
"Holy crap..." Lu Fan slammed on the brakes and stopped. Li Jingjing was caught off guard and her body tilted forward, almost falling off Lu Fan.
However, neither of them paid attention to that, as they were both stunned by the scene ahead. They had actually seen a herd of wild boars!
Not far ahead, on the hillside, there was a large group of wild boars, thirty to forty in total, big and small. One tall and mighty male wild boar stood on a high slope, looking at the other wild boars foraging with a commanding presence. It seemed to be the king of this herd!
The other wild boars were freely searching for food on the grass beside them.
As soon as Second Sister saw the wild boar king, she happily ran over and circled it, grunting... At first, the wild boar king seemed uninterested, but later, after some unknown agreement between the two pigs, a rather eye-opening scene unfolded.
"Jingjing! You're not allowed to watch! Not suitable for children!"
"Tch! You're holding me so high, I can't help but see!"
Whoosh... Lu Fan quickly put Li Jingjing down. He had been so engrossed that he had forgotten about the girl.
"Brother Fan! Aren't you very capable, you even managed to lure Second Sister back, why don't you lure this whole herd of wild boars back! My pig farm would immediately reach scale." Li Jingjing suddenly said.
"Do you really want to raise pigs your whole life?" Lu Fan gave Li Jingjing a sideways glance. Can't this child have any lofty aspirations?
"But if I don't help you raise pigs, what reason would I have to stay by your side?" Li Jingjing suddenly tilted her small head and looked at Lu Fan, saying earnestly.
"Stay by my side?? Tch! Little girl, your head isn't quite right yet, is it? At your age, you should be studying hard, then finding a good job, and changing your life through your own efforts. Making life better and better." Lu Fan reached out and stroked Li Jingjing's head, speaking with an adult's demeanor.
"Tch! Do you need to go through so much trouble to change your life? Wouldn't it be easier to just marry a rich man!" Li Jingjing said disdainfully.
"What is going on in this little girl's head? Your head just got better a few days ago and it's already going off track!?" Lu Fan looked at Li Jingjing's face with surprise. This didn't seem like a head that hadn't recovered, but rather one that had recovered a bit too much.
"Oh! I'm just saying that to prove I'm not a child anymore! Brother Fan, you can't always treat me like a child from now on." Li Jingjing pouted her small lips.
"You're not an adult until you're eighteen!" Lu Fan said, shaking his head slightly.
"Huh? Second Sister seems to be imprisoned!" Suddenly, Lu Fan noticed that Second Sister, who had successfully completed her quest, was being blocked by the wild boar king, who wouldn't let her leave.
Second Sister wanted to leave, but she was blocked by the wild boar king every time, and the wild boar king's attitude was becoming increasingly rough!
"Damn it! It seems I need to find a way. Jingjing, you wait here, I'll go lure the wild boar king away!" Lu Fan said urgently.
"Brother Fan! Kick the two eggs behind that wild boar king and make him unable to be the wild boar king!" Li Jingjing suddenly said.
Plop... Lu Fan instantly fell over.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...! Lu Fan's figure rushed towards the wild boar king. However, the appearance of an anomaly instantly made the entire wild boar herd boil. The wild boars that were foraging around suddenly raised their heads alertly, all looking at Lu Fan, the uninvited guest.
The wild boar king also suddenly raised its head, then let out a low growl, pawed the ground, and charged towards Lu Fan at full speed.
Following the wild boar king's movement, the surrounding wild boar herd also roared, lowering their heads, arching their bodies, and charging towards Lu Fan with their hooves digging into the ground.
