Chapter 10
It was hard to say the truth. Guan Chibei turned around and looked at Ye Lulu. He found an excuse and said, “It was so difficult for Lulu to give birth to three children. Let her name the children instead.”

Mother Rong’s attitude changed immediately. “Yes! It must have been tough on Lulu last night. Let her name the children. We’ll listen to Lulu!”
Mother Rong was very concerned about Ye Lulu’s labor the night before, so she agreed immediately.
At this point, Mother Rong’s mood changed. She frowned and said, “Chibei, we don’t have any food at home to nourish Lulu’s body. What should we do? A woman who has just given birth can’t do without nourishment…”

Father Guan’s voice came from outside as well. He said, “There’s nothing to eat at home. Liu’er, since you’re awake, you should stay here and look after your wife. Your eldest brother and the rest are going to the city to earn some copper coins…”
Guan Chibei said, “No need. Leave it to me.”
“Huh?” The Guan family looked at him in confusion.
Guan Chibei turned around and walked out of the house. “Leave the food to me.”
Although Guan Chibei said that he would be in charge of the food, Eldest Brother Guan and the rest still had to make a trip to the city. After all, their family was really broke. They had to go out and earn some money.
They could not stay at home and do nothing during the day.
Thus, Eldest Brother Guan led Second Brother Guan Er and Fifth Brother Guan to the city to do odd jobs and earn money.
As soon as Guan Chibei came back to life, the atmosphere in the house became much more relaxed. Father Guan also dared to step away and go to work in the fields.
Mother Rong and the two sisters-in-law of the Guan family were still taking care of Ye Lulu and the children. They took some time to go back and tidy up the Guan family’s old house.
…
The mountain next to Yunwu Village was tall and deep. By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, they were already covered in dense vegetation. The trees were tall and straight, towering into the sky, creating a dense shade that covered the sun.
Looking at it this way, the depths of the mountain were exceptionally dark.
Apart from a few hunters in the village, most of the villagers would only pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms at the foot of the mountain. Not many dared to enter the mountain.
Because it looked too dangerous. The mountains were unpredictable.
In the quiet forest, the moment Guan Chibei set foot on the mountain, an invisible yin energy emanated from his body.
Wherever the strong yin energy swept past, life force would decrease.
Energy seemed to have been sucked out, and the surroundings became gloomy and cold.
Guan Chibei lifted his head. In the dark and empty mountain, his expression was calm and relaxed.
After scanning the surroundings, Guan Chibei did not do anything. He only walked a little further and reached a place with prey.
Under the envelopment of the yin energy, all the living beings’ vitality became sluggish and they could not move at all. They all stopped where they were.
Guan Chibei swept his gaze around and took a few steps forward. He picked up a large pheasant from the lush vegetation.
Looking again, he raised his hand and picked up a dazed wild hare. Then, he picked up another pheasant and two wild hares.
It was as if he was casually lifting them!

In the blink of an eye, all the wild prey in the grass had been swept clean.
Guan Chibei did not do anything else. He carried his prey and easily turned around to leave the mountain.
