Chapter 105: Enjoying It as a Treat

'll have to trouble the Li family more."The taciturn Qiong's wife suddenly chimed in, "I can go hunting and exchange food with villagers.""That's a good idea, but it's still not enough." Mr. Wen ponde...The next morning, taking advantage of the convenience, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also got to eat steamed buns.

Then there's Li Lao Er, Li Lao San, Li Lao Si...

At breakfast, Jia Yin sipped her porridge, her eyes nervously darting around the bustling villagers. She felt a twinge of unease in her heart.

After all, this is a time when everyone works together with grit and determination to survive.

She took her whole family to steal food, and it wasn't quite righteous.

But she was just a child, and she couldn't reveal the existence of the space.

That's the only way I can protect my loved ones, with all my might.

I hope to have the opportunity to bring out more food and vegetables from the space in a while.

This way, the villagers can also benefit...

The sun rises and sets, they walk during the day and stay overnight. All step by step advancing into the mountains.

Perhaps they gradually adapted to this intensity, and few people complained of tiredness anymore.

But the gruel of sorghum and wild vegetables made everyone lose weight.

Seeing this, several elders called for a gathering and discussed whether to stop for a day's rest and focus their manpower on hunting.

At the very least, we need to have a meat meal, otherwise everyone's body won't be able to hold up.

The proposal was met with universal agreement. Hearing their stomachs rumble every day while trudging through such difficult terrain was simply unbearable.

The little rascals were even more excited. They had been practicing for so long, their slingshots had become quite familiar, and finally it was time to put them to use.

Jia Yin always remembered the opportunity to take things from the space, and she kept pestering him to go hunting with her.

Li Laosi was afraid of danger, but Li Lao Tai pleaded for her granddaughter.

"Funiu is lucky, let Lao Si take her, maybe she'll really find something good."

Li Laosi was helpless, he tightly wrapped his daughter in layers of clothing and held her close to his chest.

He was afraid his daughter might be behind him, and if something happened, he wouldn't be able to see her.

Jīnyīn was also well-behaved, lying in front of her father, rolling her big eyes, unwilling to cause any trouble.

Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou, accompanied by Jia Yi Liu Yang, two villagers, and two half-sized boys selected by Zhao Shu, then plunged into the southern mountains.

Hunting, and also scouting the way.

Initially, everyone's luck was bad. They only encountered two wild chickens, which wasn't even enough to fill the gaps in everyone's teeth at home.

As the sun began to set, everyone felt a pang of hunger and impatience.

Jiayin even prepared to bring out a few of the space rabbits, but heaven ultimately couldn't bear to disappoint them.

A wild boar with two piglets appeared in everyone's sight.

Three mother and child dogs were wagging their tails, snuffling around the tree roots, completely unaware that someone had already impatiently herded them towards an iron cauldron.

Liu Biatou, to prevent any accidents, had the two villagers and the half-sized children scatter and slowly surround the wild boar, guarding against its escape.

Li Laosì drew his bow and arrow, seeing Liu Biāotóu also raise his long sword.

The long arrow in his hand shot out with a whoosh!

Wild boars love to wallow in mud, rolling around until their bodies are covered in a thick layer of mud. This muddy coat acts as their natural armor.

Even with Li Laosi's natural strength, the arrow he shot only went halfway into the wild boar's belly.

The wild boar was in excruciating pain, on the verge of madness.

Two wild piglets were startled and ran away.

It just so happened that the direction was Liu Yang and Jia Yi's. The two boys jumped out and kicked the wild boar head-on. The wild boar was kicked over, and before it could get up, the two boys’ sabers slashed down.

On the other side, Liu Biao's long knife also chopped off half of the wild boar's head.

The wild boar died without a few squeals, unwillingly.

Two villagers and the other two half-sized children, let alone lending a hand, hadn't even waited to see what was happening before the three wild boars became a feast.

They were ecstatic, “We have pork to eat! We have pork to eat!”

"Take it home quickly!"

Liu Biaotou and Li Laosi were also happy, Li Laosi was just about to step forward, but Jia Yin hurried.

She just took advantage of the wild boar, but she made some little moves.

"Dad, over there, over there!"

She tugged at her father, struggling toward a small clearing behind a tree.

Li Laosì's mind flashed with inspiration, and he hurriedly strode over.

As expected, a small patch of sweet potato vines grew behind the tree.

He took a deep breath, gently patted his daughter's back, and his heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

He didn't dare to investigate what kind of magical skills his daughter possessed, whether it was luck, fortune, or something else.

He just felt sorry for her. She was so young and had to keep running away with her family, always moving from place to place.

If she were born into a wealthy family, she wouldn't have to suffer so much, and she wouldn't have to struggle so hard to feed her family.

At night, they would secretly send steamed buns to their mouths. Occasionally, there would be suicidal rabbits appearing, wild chickens bringing eggs to their doorstep, and sweet potatoes growing in the barren hills right before your eyes. Even the vines were tender and could be cooked and stir-fried...

Jia Yin felt her father's choked sobs and gently pressed against his chest, quietly without a word.

In fact, Daddy doesn't know, all of this is painful for outsiders, but for her, it's a sweet and blissful happiness.

She fears not hardship, but the absence of loved ones. Like a lonely soul, she wanders in a cold world, waiting for old age and death.

In every bustling day now, she cherishes it deeply...

In the camp, people were preparing a fire for dinner while leaning back and gazing south, all thinking about the hunting party.

By now, nearly half a day had passed, and the hunting party was still nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that they encountered some danger in the forest

Uncle Zhao pounded his legs in frustration, lamenting his own incompetence once again.

If their legs were okay, they would have gone to greet him long ago. Why are they in such a hurry

Fortunately, after a while, the villagers who were guarding outside the forest to the south shouted loudly.

"I'm back, I'm back!"

"Wild boar, got a wild boar!"

The entire camp erupted, with people of all ages rushing forward in a frenzy.

"Just come back, just come back!"

"I'm so worried something might happen to you!"

Old Mrs. Li quickly took her granddaughter, confirming she was unharmed, before turning to look at the spoils of war brought back by her son.

And the villagers couldn't help but cheer, "How is there still sweet potato So much! Enough to eat for several days!"

Liu Biaotou wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, “This time we were extra lucky. These three wild boars were busy eating when we killed them. Then we discovered a patch of sweet potatoes growing there! No wonder they were so focused on eating that they didn't even look up. We cleaned out their whole nest!”

Everyone scrambled to carry the wild boar and sweet potatoes back, pretending not to see Li Lao Si and the others' humiliation.

Because they didn't bring a bag, the basket they carried couldn't hold that many sweet potatoes. They could only take off their clothes, wearing just their undershirts; it really wasn't decent...

Uncle Zhao and the others were also so excited that they directed the villagers to carry the wild boar downstream to gut it.

The women were busy as bees, preparing to boil water and stew meat.

Sweet potato vines are washed clean, chopped up, blanched in boiling water, and then seasoned with a little soy sauce. They are delicious!

As for pork, it's best to stew it with the dried vegetables you brought from home.

Even plain vegetables with soup can absorb the flavor of meat.

Of course, sweet potatoes were also washed and cut into pieces. They were stewed with meat in the same way. When the time comes, they will be given to babies and elderly people with bad teeth. It is both fragrant and soft and glutinous.

The entire camp was abuzz with activity as people of all ages scrambled to prepare for the wild boar and sweet potatoes.

Li Laotai guessed that her granddaughter had put in effort, so she hugged her tightly, truly feeling like it was not enough love.

Jia Yin suddenly remembered that she had brought a gift for her grandmother, so she pulled the old woman over to look at the basket carried back by Jia Yi.

The basket held a small flower. Its stem and leaves were nothing special, except that its petals were green.

Grandma Li held it in her hand, looking this way and that, and smiled at her granddaughter, "Did Funiu bring this for Grandma"

Jia Yin nodded, lowered her head to sniff, and was very fond of the fragrant smell of this flower.

As Li Lao Tai was about to speak again, Zhang Shenyi happened to walk past. Seeing the flower, his face suddenly changed.

"Throw it away, quick, throw it away!"f in the Hai Lan Army.“We are two meritorious officials, and with the Marquis, you’re afraid of incurring that person's suspicion. That’s why you plan to use this incident to atone for your past deeds...
