Pei Wenli couldn't shake off the confusion in his heart and shook his head after pondering for a moment. How could they possibly come to the county town when just the round-trip fare would cost several wen, not to mention they couldn't even find their way around the town.
Hearing his schoolmate call out, Pei Wenli responded and hurried toward the group to join them.
Pei Qin and the other two returned to the mountain, and since they saved time from not setting up their stall, it was only past midday, so they decided to dig for winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.
As they were digging for the bamboo shoots close to dusk, Si Ya spotted a Bamboo Rat hole, "Elder sister! There's a Bamboo Rat hole here, shall we catch it?" she said they would sell it in a few more days.
After some thought, Pei Qin said, "Catch it! We'll catch it and eat it ourselves at home!"
But their luck wasn't always so good—there were only two half-grown bamboo rats in the hole.
