The family of three walked around and returned to the main courtyard. Soon, Ji Xiang came to the door of Zhou Jia’s study. He looked at Zhou Jia with a red face and wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhou Jia looked at his silly expression and smiled. “Come in! Why are you standing there foolishly?”

Ji Xiang smiled sweetly. “Master, I want you to agree to my marriage to Gu Yu.”

Zhou Jia looked at Ji Xiang and thought that Ji Xiang and Zhao Cai were about to marry the woman they liked. He punched Ji Xiang happily. “I agree, but you have to accompany me out to check the taxes before that.”

“Yes, Master. I’ll go back and pack my luggage.” Ji Xiang bowed to Zhou Jia and left with a smile.

In the reception hall, Gu Yu also reported the matter between her and Ji Xiang to Li Yu shyly. Li Yu smiled and nodded. “I agree. When Ji Xiang comes back with Master, I’ll choose a day for you.”

Gu Yu looked at Li Yu and felt that her gratitude for Li Yu was indescribable.

Her eyes were red as she knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yu. “Thank you, Madam.”

Li Yu looked at her red eyes and pulled her up with a smile. “Why are you crying?

Gu Yu wiped her tears in embarrassment and smiled shyly at Li Yu. “Madam,

I’m happy.”

The next morning, Zhou Jia set off with Ji Xiang and Tiezhu. After sending Zhou Jia off, Li Yu packed her things and planned to go up the mountain to hunt while the weather was clear.

During lunch, Li Yu added a bowl of lotus leaf porridge for Yangyang. She watched as he finished eating the pancakes and cold fish grass. When he wiped his mouth clean, she led him out of the dining hall and discussed with him, “Son, I’m going hunting in the mountain…”

“Going up the mountain to hunt.” Before Li Yu could finish speaking, she heard Yangyang’s surprised shout. Li Yu looked down and saw Yangyang looking at her with sparkling eyes. “Mother, I want to go up the mountain to hunt too.”

Li Yu picked him up and said gently, “Son, you’re too young. I can’t bring you there. If you want to go, you have to wait until you’re eight years old. You have to practice your martial arts until you can last 20 moves under Uncle before I can bring you there.”

When Yangyang heard this, he pouted and calculated. He felt that eight years old was still a long time away. He sighed and hugged Li Yu, as he wheedled, “Mother, eight years old is still a long time away! I want to go with you now.”

“No, stay at home and eat and study with Auntie Yu, Uncle Yi, and Brother Seven Pounds. I’ll go up the mountain and hunt a little rabbit for you to raise.”

Yangyang looked at Li Yu’s expression and knew that Li Yu wouldn’t agree to him hunting with her. He began to bargain. “Mother, I don’t want a little rabbit. Only girls raise little rabbits. I want a little dog from Shi Lin’s family. Mother, buy one for me.”

“Does the Shi Lin family have puppies? Tell him that I’ll buy one for you when he agrees.”

After saying that, Li Yu looked at Yangyang and instructed, “Son, you have to tell me next time you leave the manor.”

“I’ll remember.” Yangyang opened his chubby little hand and looked at Li Yu in surprise. “Mother, Shi Lin’s family has five puppies. I like that little dog with black fur and two white patches on its eyes. Father Shi said that he can only raise it for me if you agree.”

“Alright, I agree. You have to remember not to take others’ things for free. If Shi Lin gives them to you, you have to give Shi Lin an item as a gift.”

“Got it.” Yangyang nodded and yawned. Li Yu carried him to the bed and watched him fall asleep before going to the courtyard in front to tell Ruyi and Xiaoyu that she was preparing to hunt.

Ruyi and Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu worriedly. “Madam, I heard that there’s no prey in the shallow mountains here. You have to go deep into the mountains. You have to be careful not to stay too long on the mountain.”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in five to six days at most.”

Li Yu returned to the house and prepared the sleeping bag and snake-repellent medicine. She placed some water, fruits, and dry food in the space to eat. The next day, Li Yu woke up at five o’clock and turned around to kiss the sleeping Yangyang. She got out of bed and put on her clothes. She carefully tied her hair and secured the dagger before leaving the room.

After instructing Gu Yu and Old Madam Yun, she took the food, water, and some seasonings that Old Madam Yun had prepared and left the manor with the backpack. She walked to the pond to pick a few lotus leaves and walked to a quiet place to put everything into the space. She walked up the mountain with a machete in her hand.

The path up the mountain was winding. Li Yu breathed in the fresh and natural air on the mountain and listened to the chirping birds in the forest. She walked up the mountain with light steps. As she climbed up the rugged mountain path, Li Yu did not find any prey on the way. She thought that there were several hunters in the village at the foot of the mountain. The prey in the shallow mountain might have been hunted long ago.

When the bright sunlight shone into the shade of the tree, Li Yu climbed under a mountain beam and saw two hunters walking down the mountain with smiles on their faces. They were covered in prey. One of them was carrying a

wild goat on his shoulder, and the other was carrying a wild deer on his shoulder. Li Yu hid behind a big tree and watched the two of them pant heavily as they walked down the mountain.

Li Yu looked up at the mountain beam above and found a big rock to take out the rice ball from her space. The rice ball was filled with eggs and pickled vegetables. Li Yu ate four fist-sized rice balls and drank a few mouthfuls of rice soup. She put the water bag back into her space and continued to climb up.

The higher she climbed, the steeper the mountain path became. Gradually, even the narrow and long mountain path disappeared. The forest was filled with weeds half the height of a person. After walking on the mountain for a day, she only caught a few fat pheasants and hares. She did not see any prey like warthogs or roe deer. Li Yu stayed the night in the wooden house built by the hunters on the mountain. The next morning, she ate something and continued to climb.

After climbing up a mountain beam, a dense fir forest appeared in front of her. Li Yu looked at the wild grass lying on both sides of the forest and the fresh feces and hoofprints in the grass and concluded that the wild goats had entered the forest. Moreover, not long after they walked over, Li Yu took out her bow, carried the quiver, and chased after them along the fallen wild grass. When she reached the mountain beam, she saw a group of fat and strong wild goats leisurely eating the grass below.

Li Yu quietly approached the bow and nocked an arrow. She shot a goat and it twitched before falling. The frightened goats fled in all directions. The arrow in Li Yu’s hand was quickly shot out. In a moment, five or six wild goats fell. Li Yu stopped and quickly ran down. She picked up the machete and knocked the struggling goats to death. She picked them up one by one and placed them in the space. At this moment, the sun was already setting in the west and was about to set.

Li Yu looked around the cave for a while and caught a few pheasants. She chased a hare to a small cave and there was a stream below. Li Yu took out the pheasant’s internal organs and washed them. After smearing the seasoning on the inner cavity, she hung them at the side. She dug some yellow mud by the mountain stream and mixed it with water. She pasted the pheasant into an ellipsoid and wrapped it in the lotus leaves with vines. She used a machete to dig a pit and began to set up a fire to roast the pheasant. She cut a few wooden sticks and set up a pot to boil a pot of hot water. Then, she took a torch to the cave and picked up a few stones to throw into the cave. After waiting for a while, no wild beasts, snakes, or insects came out before she walked in with a torch..
