Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After yesterday’s incident, Ah Lian and the others understood what the people outside thought of them.

Although everyone said that they didn’t care about others’ opinions. they were

actually very afraid of being pointed at by others.

They would rather stay in the village and live isolated from the world than go out and face the gossip.

Ah Lian smiled and nodded. “Thank you. I don’t have to worry now.”

Li Yu smiled at her. ‘What’s there to thank? There are some things we want to buy too, but it’s just a matter of two more carts. If you need anything in the future, and it’s not convenient for you to go out and buy it, go to the manor and tell them. They’ll go out and help you bring it back.”

Ah Lian looked at Li Yu’s warm gaze and smiled. She bent her knees and bowed. “Thank you.”

Li Yu smiled and said, “Believe me, it will get better.” With that, she waved at her and walked towards the manor.

“Yes! It will get better.” Ah Lian looked at Li Yu’s back and took a deep breath. She revealed a determined gaze and strode towards the field with renewed vitality.

When Li Yu returned to the manor, Auntie He smiled and said, “Madam, Little Loach and the others heard that we could catch bamboo rats in the bamboo forest and brought the two young masters to the bamboo forest to catch them. Before they left, they said that they would take good care of Young Masters.”

Li Yu nodded. “Alright, Auntie He. I plan to go to the mountains tomorrow morning to take a look. Prepare some dry food tonight. I’ll take it away to eat on the way tomorrow.”

Auntie He smiled and shook her head. “The food we prepared tonight won’t taste good after a night. How long do you plan to go? I’ll get up tomorrow morning to prepare it for you.”

The two children were on the farm and would not be at ease if she was gone for a long time. Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “I’ll be back after a day at most.”

Auntie He nodded. “Alright, I’ll go and prepare something delicious for you.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. She returned to the house and packed two sets of clothes to put in the space. Thinking that there was a lot of rain in spring, she entered the space to take a look and saw two sets of raincoats and a pair of deer boots.

She came out of the space and went to the warehouse to find a few torches. She placed them in wooden buckets and placed them in the space.

Mr. Wen and Old Master Zhou walked in with a backpack each.

Mr. Wen happily took out the herbs he had picked up from the mountain. He washed them, tidied them up, and dried them in the dustpan.

Old Master Zhou dug up a few gardenias, azaleas, and some unknown wildflowers and planted them under the courtyard wall.

On the empty space at the other end of the bamboo forest, Uncle Zhou was discussing the location of the pigpen with the craftsmen. Little Loach and the others had brought the Yueyeu and Xlngxing and found a rat hole. They were digging for bamboo rats with all their might.

When they dug through both ends, they realized that it was empty. There was not even a rat’s fur.

The few of them continued to search the forest dejectedly. After searching for a long time, they could not find their target. They began to dig for bamboo shoots again.

Yueyue and Xingxing also helped pick up the bamboo shoots. Soon, their bodies and faces were covered in yellow mud.

Little Loach and the others looked at the two young masters and smiled bitterly. They were a little worried that they would be blamed when they returned.

When they returned to the courtyard with a full basket of bamboo shoots, everyone looked at the yellow mud on Yueyue and Xingxing’s bodies and faces and laughed.

Xingxing and Yueyue ran to Li Yu and reached out their chubby hands that were covered in yellow mud. “Mother, I want to take a shower.”

Little Loach and the others looked at Li Yu and said, “Madam, we didn’t bring

Young Master well. ”

Li Yu smiled and said, “It’s fine. Children like to play with mud.”

Mr. Wen said happily, “Let the children have some rustic air and grow stronger.”

Old Master Zhou looked at the two muddy children and said with a smile,

“Come, I’ll bring you to the bathroom to take a shower.”

Li Yu looked at them. “Go! Take a shower with Young Master.”

“Yes, Madam.” The few of them agreed loudly and followed Xingxing and the others to the bathroom.

After dinner, everyone peeled the bamboo shoots that Little Loach had carried back and blanched them. They put on hemp ropes and hung them up before splitting up to wash up and rest.

Li Yu brought the two children back to her room and told them that she was going hunting in the mountains. Yueyue pouted and looked at Li Yu. “Mother, I want to go with you.”

Xingxing tugged at Li Yu’s sleeve and kept swaying. She twisted her body and said coquettishly, “Mother, I want to go too.”

Li Yu looked at the two of them. “You’re too young. I can’t take care of you in the forest. Even your eldest brother hasn’t gone hunting in the mountains. When you go back, practice your martial arts well. When you grow up, I’ll bring you there.”

Seeing Li Yu’s expression, the two of them knew that she wouldn’t agree to bring them there. They climbed into bed unhappily and crawled under the blanket, ignoring Li Yu.

Li Yu got into bed and rubbed their heads with a smile. “Little baddies, you have to eat obediently at home. Don’t make a fuss and go fishing by the ditch.” Yueyue turned to look at her. “Mother, can we go when the weather gets hot?”

Li Yu nodded. “Yes! We can go when the weather gets hot.” Xingxing yawned and pulled Li Yu’s arm. “Mother sings. Baby sleeps.”

“Alright, little rabbit, be good. Open the door. Open it quickly…”

Seeing that the two children were asleep, Li Yu crawled into bed and slept.

The next morning, Li Yu handed the children to Granny Chen and Auntie He. After eating something, she took the rice balls, rice soup, and meat buns prepared by Auntie He and Auntie Zhang and carried her backpack and rope out toward the foot of the mountain.

There was a narrow path at the foot of the mountain. Li Yu walked on the path for an hour before it lit up. The forest was foggy, and there were dewdrops on the leaves. A morning breeze blew, and the leaves in the forest swayed with the wind, emitting a rustling sound.

The early birds in the forest chirped in the depths of the forest. Wildflowers bloomed on both sides of the path that spiraled up the terrain. Crystal clear dew hung on the petals. Li Yu smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the air. She used her long saber to push aside the dense vines and wild grass and walked through the forest.

After walking in the forest for more than two hours, other than the chirping of birds, she did not find any traces of wild animals. She did not even see a pheasant.

Li Yu thought of the bandits who had occupied Liang Village in the past and felt that those people might often go up the mountain to hunt. The wild animals on the shallow mountain might have been hunted by them long ago.

At this moment, the sun had already risen. Tiny rays of sunlight passed through the dense leaves and cast mottled light and shadow on the ground. Li Yu only caught a pheasant halfway up the mountain. There were really few wild animals.

The sun was getting stronger. By the time she reached the halfway point, the trail had already disappeared. Li Yu walked towards a slightly flatter terrain. She used her machete to push aside the bushes and waist-deep weeds and stepped on the soft dead branches and leaves. The forest became even hotter and more humid. The air was filled with the smell of dead leaves and rotten son.

When she walked into a mixed forest, she found a trap. There was the skeleton of a goat inside. It looked like it had been left behind by the bandits at the foot of the mountain.

The forest was filled with mushrooms. Li Yu picked up a lot of sheep’s stomach mushrooms and oval mushrooms. The pits on the surface were really very similar to the sheep’s stomach. Li Yu also picked up the bovine liver fungus, pine mushrooms, chicken fennel, and white onion fungus. She was delayed in the forest for nearly two hours and picked up half of the backpack.

She entered the space and placed the mushrooms inside. Then, she carried her backpack and climbed towards the top of the mountain. Four hours later, when she reached the top of the mountain, she only hunted two pheasants and three hares. She saw a few squirrels. Li Yu couldn’t bear to kill the cute little things. She waved the long saber in her hand at them, scaring them so much that they jumped onto the tree and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Standing at the top of the mountain, the bottom of the mountain was visible. Below was a deep stream and facing east was a continuous mountain beam..
