Ethan had not returned by dinner time.
The rabbit from yesterday had already been braised and placed on the table, but no one had any appetite.
Amelia waited anxiously at the door, asking Issac and Daniel over and over again.
“Did he really not go to the field?”
“Did you see him on the way back? Did you ask around?”
The two of them had already gone out to look for Ethan, but they did not see a trace of him.
Issac was more cautious. He even went to the riverside to look around, but fortunately, he did not see any clothes floating over the river.
“Mother, don’t be anxious. Eldest Brother and I will go out to take a look.”
Daniel had just taken a sip of water and was in a hurry to run out again, but he was stopped by Amelia.
“This damn kid probably went to the back mountain again. Yesterday, he caught a rabbit. Today, his heart is wild. He really thinks he can be a hunter. Don’t go looking for him. Just let him die outside.”
The house was silent for a moment. Even a pin drop could be heard.
Even Ella felt that something was wrong. She sat on the chair and kept quiet out of fear.
Amelia panted heavily. Only Chloe, who was held in Hazel’s arms, was shouting as if she did not know the world.
However, no one could understand what she was trying to say.
Hazel shushed softly, trying to make her daughter quiet down.
Following Chloe’s gaze, Hazel inadvertently looked outside the door and suddenly called out.
“Is it Ethan? Mother, Ethan is back!”
Who else could it be but him who was limping at the door?
Ethan had not even stepped into the house when he was viciously hit by Amelia with a broom.
“Who asked you to lie?! Who asked you to be playful?! Who told you not to go home?!”
Ethan did not even have the strength to run away from the house. He could only cover his head and scream.
“Mother, I was wrong. Be gentle, mother, be gentle.”
“Eldest Brother, Second Brother, save me. Help me persuade mother.”
Issac and his brother stood by the side and watched silently.
This kid was usually very naughty. This day, he had the whole family to worry about him. If he did not get beaten up, he would not learn his lesson.
Issac said in a low voice, “Mother, please take a rest. Don’t be angry and damage your body.”
Just as Ethan wanted to express his gratitude, he saw his brother take the broom from his mother.
“I’m very strong. Let me do it.”
Ethan wanted to cry, but he had no tears. “Don’t hit me. I almost died today. It was not easy for me to get home, and you guys still want to beat me to death.”
When he said this, Issac’s hand stopped in midair.
Everyone looked at Ethan.
The clothes on this kid’s body were hung in tatters. His pants were covered in mud, and there were bloodstains on his arms. He was so miserable that words could not describe it.
Hazel asked timidly, “Ethan, what happened to you?”
“Don’t mention it. Didn’t I catch a rabbit yesterday? Today, I want to try my luck again and see if I can meet another one to improve the food at home.”
Issac and his wife looked at each other. Their mother had guessed correctly.
“But I didn’t expect to meet a black bear.”
Although Ethan was standing in front of them in tact, everyone could not help but gasp.
The black bear was one of the most terrifying animals in the mountain. No matter how experienced a hunger was, he would not dare to say that he could escape from it.
“I saw it running toward me from afar, so I ran as fast as I could. At the critical moment, my clothes were caught by a tree branch.”
Daniel was immediately frightened. “Then weren’t you in big trouble?”
Ethan was almost proud as he grabbed his collar. “Fortunately, I was lucky. The branch just came out from here. I lost my footing and rolled down the mountain. In the end, I was actually fine. The black bear also ran away.”
Everyone lamented that Yue Jiannan was lucky. Only Amelia kicked him twice with the tip of her shoe.
“Why didn’t you get carried away by black bear? B*stard, do you still dare to go to the back of the mountain in the future?”
The broom that Issac had not used for a long time finally fell down. Ethan screamed in pain, but he did not dare to hide. He only covered his chest and did not move.
“I’m not finished yet. When I rolled to the foot of the mountain, look what I found.”
Ethan carefully took out a wide leaf bundle that was tied up by a grass rope.
When he opened the layers of leaves, a yellow and white radish-like plant filled with roots was seen.
“Mother, is this the ginseng you mentioned?”
