Liu Duo slept well that night and woke up really late the next day. All the walking in town the day before had exhausted her.
She went for breakfast after washing up. As she ate, she saw Ye Yang packing, "Yang, what are you up to?"
"I'm going up the hills," he said as he busied about, not even looking up.
He needed to hunt more game and earn more money, otherwise Liu Duo could not have polished rice to eat. He used to worry about weak-bodied Ye Ling before, and now he had Liu Duo to care for.
"Oh," she replied absent-mindedly.
We bought polished rice yesterday, and now Yang's going up the hills again? Seems like money was really hard to come by!
"What about Liu and Ling? I don't see them," Liu Duo asked again.
"Washing clothes by the river."
"Oh," she quickly ate her meal and finished with the dishes. By then, Ye Yang had prepared all the essentials he needed for hunting.
"Let's go, we're heading the same way," he said, assuming Liu Duo did not want to left alone at home.
