Pampered Pastoral: Orion’s Delicious Little Lady

Death Ridge is not far from the Lu family. The Lu family itself is halfway up the mountain. After bypassing the two hills dug bare by the villagers, you can see a lush scene.

That's Death Ridge.

The night was hazy, and the entire Death Ridge was shrouded in moonlight, making the place feel more eerie and eerie.

If you sniff carefully, you can still smell the faint smell of blood filling the air.

Lu Jingzhe approached Death Ridge step by step, holding the lighting torch tightly with one hand, and the other hand was ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

The leaves in Death Ridge are so dense and dense that the moonlight cannot penetrate. Without torches, it would be almost impossible to see.

Lu Jingzhe was very familiar with the terrain inside Death Ridge. He was as familiar with the Death Forest as if he were visiting his own back garden.

He was walking and suddenly stopped, raised the torch, and saw a snake coiled on the branch in front of him, spitting out a scarlet message at him.

You can tell from the pattern that it should be worth a lot of money.

The flower snake kept making "hissing" sounds, and its head was already raised, trying to scare off the bold intruder. If it moved forward, it would start to attack.

Lu Jingzhe's eyes turned cold, and he stared at the flower snake. Suddenly, his free hand stretched forward with lightning speed, pinched the vital part of the flower snake accurately, and stuffed it directly. In the bamboo basket that I carried with me.

Three taels of silver, he thought.

He was in a hurry tonight and had to go to town with Song Lihua to do errands tomorrow morning. He didn't plan to stay in Death Ridge for too long, so he didn't want to attack the slightly larger prey.

The snakes in Death Ridge are very shrewd and very good at hiding themselves.

From a distance, it looks like a dead vine hanging from a tree trunk, but it is actually a snake hanging upside down. If you are not careful, you will be bitten.

By then, let alone hunting, your own life would be at risk.

Lu Jingzhe was extremely careful about this.

It took about two sticks of incense to walk to the Death Ridge, and I gained a lot.

Lu Jingzhe lifted the bamboo basket around his waist. It was indeed quite heavy, and he could hear a constant "hissing" sound coming from inside.

He started to return the same way, and when he was about to leave Death Ridge, he caught another rabbit.

The rabbit was in a hurry to escape, and accidentally crashed into a thick tree trunk with intertwined roots.

The corner of Lu Jingzhe's mouth twitched, feeling like he had picked it up for nothing.

Song Lihua slept very deeply and had many fragmentary dreams.

She dreamed that she had endless work to do every day, but Mrs. Song was not satisfied and beat her and scolded her every day.

She dreamed that the river was frozen, but Mrs. Song reluctantly asked her to go to the river to wash clothes. The washing made her ten fingers swollen like little carrots.

She also dreamed that Song Dahu's parents bought him a bunch of candied haws. She was so greedy that Mrs. Song said that she was a loser and didn't deserve to eat it... Why did she want it when others had their parents' love?

In the last dream, Song Lihua dreamed that everyone was queuing up at the gate of Qinghe Town to get gruel. The small bowl Song Lihua was assigned to was snatched away by Mrs. Song without taking a sip of it.

Her eyes widened, her chapped lips trembled, and she whispered: "Grandma... I'm starving to death..."

Mrs. Song finished Song Lihua's bowl of porridge. When she heard this, she raised her hand and slapped her, causing Song Lihua's head to buzz.
