After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 16 The older one stays, the younger one is handed over.

Qiao Nian thought so too.

Perhaps these people were out hunting secretly?

Because she thought she had just smelled a faint scent of blood emanating from them.

"Dad, are they poaching?"

Qiao Nian lowered her voice and asked Qiao Guowen.

Qiao Guowen told his daughter not to make a fuss.

"This is their territory, there are people there, we'll pretend we don't know."

Their social status was already low; if they accidentally offended these thugs, things would become even more difficult for them.

Qiao Nian nodded.

"I see."

She had no intention of reporting them.

She was thinking that it would be great if she could snatch one or two of these people while they were hunting in the mountains.

Although she still had a whole pig's worth of pork, as well as several hams, several chickens, and several ducks in her space.

But no one will complain about having too much meat.

Especially since she also had a natural, non-flavorful "big refrigerator" with her, she naturally wanted to fill it to the brim.

This way, you'll feel more confident when taking care of your parents and baby.

The father and daughter walked forward for a long time.

They slowly walked into the woods.

It's further away here, the trees are bigger, and there are more fallen dead branches.

Qiao Guowen was very happy to see that half of the dead branches were buried in the snow.

"Niannian, wait for Daddy over there. Daddy will go pick up those dry branches."

"dad."

Qiao Nian looked around to make sure no one was nearby before she stepped forward and placed her hand on a dead branch.

The branches disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Guowen quickly looked around.

"Nian Nian..."

He didn't see anyone, so he lowered his voice and said, "Niannian, we're outside."

There's no one here.

When Qiao Nian was collecting the tree branches, she also made sure to cover them up.

Unless you're very close, you can't see what she did at all.

Qiao Guowen was still a little nervous, not wanting his daughter to reveal this miraculous existence.

"Don't worry, Dad. Most people wouldn't think of that."

Qiao Nian spoke up.

Helpless, Qiao Guowen could only use his body to shield his daughter from the branches she was picking up.

He also picked some up himself to cover himself.

The two, who originally planned to pick up some and go home, became more and more engrossed in picking and continued to walk deeper into the woods.

By the time they realized what was happening, they were already deep in a forest that few people had ever been to before.

Qiao Guowen looked at the withered branches he was holding and stomped his foot in frustration.

"It's my fault. I was so focused on gathering more firewood that I forgot you've already collected quite a bit."

He had unknowingly brought his daughter into the deep forest. What should he do if they encountered danger?
"Let's go back, Niannian."

"it is good."

Qiao Nian glanced at the space and saw that there was already a pile of firewood as big as the room.

Looking at the sky, it's getting late; it's definitely time to go home.

Just as the father and daughter turned to leave, a faint bleating of a sheep drifted over.

"dad."

Qiao Nian suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Dad, did you hear that? It sounds like lambs are bleating?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the bleating of the sheep came again.

The weak voice was very clear, as if it were coming from not far away.

Qiao Guowen knew what his daughter wanted to do, and he didn't want her to go.

Qiao Nian said, "Dad, I'll just go take a look, just one look is enough."

Lamb is a good thing, and if she really manages to encounter a wild goat in distress, she definitely can't miss it.

Qiao Guowen had no choice but to go with his daughter.

They were lucky; after walking about thirty meters into the woods to the left, they spotted two wild goats, one large and one small, beside a stream.

The big wild goat was lying on the ground, and only its belly was moving.

The smaller goat stood to the side, constantly licking the larger goat's head. "It's injured!"

Qiao Nian slowly walked forward and found a large hole in the hind leg of the goat lying on the ground. Judging from its shape, it was formed by being hit by a sharp object.

Qiao Nian studied surgery in college, and she can identify the cause of a wound based on its appearance.

"He was injured by a deer's gore."

She looked up and spoke to Qiao Guowen, who was standing guard beside her.

Qiao Guowen nodded, "Niannian, let's go."

"It's getting dark, we need to hurry back, otherwise your mother will worry at home."

"it is good."

Qiao Nian agreed.

"Dad, give me the machete and turn your back for a moment."

"Nian Nian?"

Qiao Guowen looked at his daughter in surprise.

Qiao Nian looked at the goat lying there, barely clinging to life, and said, "Even if I don't kill it, it won't survive the night."

They were short of meat, so there was no reason for them to refuse meat that had been delivered to their doorstep.

After Qiao Nian finished speaking, she picked up the machete from Qiao Guowen's hand and cut into the goat's artery.

This is not a difficult task for students majoring in clinical medicine.

The goat died.

The little goat beside them was still bleating.

Qiao Nian put the giant goat into her spatial storage.

Seeing the wild goat cub beside her, which was at most a month old, she reached out and touched its back.

"Don't worry, we won't eat you."

She moved the stone that was pressing down on the little goat's leg and picked it up.

"Nian Nian?"

“Dad, let’s take it home. When we get home, you can give it to Uncle Tian.”

They went up the mountain to collect firewood and happened to encounter an injured lamb.

However, instead of keeping it for themselves, they handed it over without reservation, and it became public property.

Such a good quality of returning lost property is enough to prove that their 'reform' is effective.

Looking at his calm daughter, Qiao Guowen suddenly seemed to see the figure of Nian Nian's maternal grandmother, so smart and capable.

Although she is a woman, she is in no way inferior to men.

Niannian was raised by her own hands, so how could she really be a delicate flower in a greenhouse?
"it is good."

Qiao Guowen agreed.

The father and daughter slowly left the mountains.

It took them a while to leave the woods.

It started snowing as soon as we got outside.

Qiao Guowen carried a bundle of firewood on his back, while Qiao Nian held a lamb in her arms, and they walked home along the road.

The bloodstains left by the goats by the stream where they had just been were completely covered by the heavy snow.

No one knew that Qiao Nian had found a goat weighing about fifty pounds under this snow.

Nian Yunci waited at the door all afternoon, hoping her husband and daughter would return.

She looked several times, and just as it was getting dark, she saw her daughter and husband return.

The husband was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, and the daughter seemed to be holding something in her arms.

When she got closer, Nian Yunci realized it was a little lamb.

She was somewhat surprised. "Where did this lamb come from?"

“My dad and I found it in the mountains; it seemed to be injured.”

As he spoke, Qiao Guowen put down the firewood and took the lamb from Qiao Nian's hands.

"I'll take it to the captain and come back."

As for what to say to Tian Shichang, he knew exactly what to say.

"Slow down, the ground is slippery."

Nian Yunci couldn't help but give her some advice.

Qiao Guowen replied that it was alright.

Qiao Nian then went inside with her mother.

After closing the door and releasing the firewood from the space, Nian Yunci's eyes widened in shock.

When she saw the goat on the pile of firewood, she immediately covered her mouth.

"Near!"
