Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

After walking for half a day, there was no one around. Although Xiao Lan had more than 20 years of experience in her previous life, she was still afraid to walk alone. She sang a song to give herself courage, but she stopped singing after a while because she was afraid of attracting large animals. She tilted her head to cheer herself up and stop herself from thinking too much.

Fortunately, the weather was fine and the sun was bright, making her feel warm. Along the way, she carefully searched and found many wild vegetables grown by the elders. These wild vegetables would get stuck in the teeth of pigs, and humans would not eat them either.

After searching for a long time, she found nothing edible. She was scared and frustrated. She thought about giving up, but she was unwilling to go home with nothing.

Fortunately, at noon, she found mushrooms near the stream. They were hazel mushrooms, which are good things in modern times. She didn't care about fatigue or fear, and just bent over to pick mushrooms. Things in the mountains are like this, either you can't find them, or you can find a lot of them and can't pick them all.

By the time Xiao Lan had filled a basket with hazel mushrooms, she was already dizzy and hungry, so she decided to replenish her energy before going out of the mountain.

After washing her hands at the stream, Xiao Lan accidentally discovered fish. She no longer felt dizzy or blurry. She rolled up her trouser legs and sleeves and went into the water to catch fish. However, she didn't catch any fish.

Xiao Lan had no choice but to stop, but her feet staggered and she almost fell into the water. She knew she had low blood sugar and needed to replenish her energy.

He quickly went ashore, picked up the steamed bun and started eating, while thinking about how to catch fish.

Looking at the water stains on her body and the mud spots that had just splashed on her, she sneered. After traveling through time, she had become more and more adapted to the local customs. People could actually fight so hard just to get food.

He swallowed the steamed bread in three or two mouthfuls, drank some water, and then he picked up a nearby stick and sharpened the tip to use it to spear fish. This method worked well, because the fish in the stream were used to being at ease, so they were easily speared.

It was now near evening and the water in the stream had grown a little cold. When she had caught most of the fish nearby, the rest swam too fast for her to catch, so she gave up.

We caught more than twenty fish. We were so happy when we caught them, but so miserable when we took them out.

The backpack was full of mushrooms, so how could she carry all these fish out of the mountain? She thought for a while, twisted the grass into a rope, strung the fish together, and hung it on the backpack.

Then he picked up the backpack and walked down the mountain.

Xiao Lan thought she couldn't come tomorrow. She needed a day off. She could come with her father the day after tomorrow. She could catch more fish and dry them at home or sell them in town. If Sheng Xuan found a job, she would have to come by herself. Once it was confirmed that this route was safe, she could take Xiao Wen and Xiao Ting into the mountains.

Perhaps the joy of harvest offset her fear of the mountains. Now that it was completely dark, she started to go down the mountain, beating the grass with a stick. When the excitement wore off, she looked at the dark scenery around her, heard the rustling of trees in the wind, and her heart skipped a beat. She walked faster and faster. The sweat from fishing just now made her body cool in the wind. She encouraged herself that she would be able to get out of the mountain soon and it would be safe.

Finally she reached the foot of the mountain, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then she saw a figure standing beside her. She suppressed her fear and carefully identified that it was Sheng Xuan who was waiting for her. Sheng Xuan also saw her, and hurried forward to take off her backpack and put it on his back.

"Dad, why are you here?" Xiao Lan asked as she let her father take down the backpack.

"It was getting dark, and I saw you weren't back yet, so I came to look for you."

"Dad, was there anyone walking around in the village when you came out?"

"Well, you asked me where I was going. I said I was going to check on the vegetable seedlings in the fields. It's already midnight, and the villagers must be resting." Sheng Xuan replied.

Near the foot of the mountain is her family's six acres of land. "Dad, why don't we go to the creek and process these fish? That way mom won't have to get involved when we get back," Xiao Lan suggested.

"it is good."

The father and daughter walked to the stream, found a sharp piece of wood, scratched the belly of the fish, took out the internal organs, and then cleaned the fish in the stream water. In this way, the fish was processed.

Both father and daughter are capable. After the fish were processed, Sheng Xuan put on the backpack and took Xiao Lan home.

Zhang left the door open for the father and daughter, and it opened with a gentle push.

"Mom, we are back."

Zhang, Xiaoting and Xiaowen were still awake and came out to greet them.

"Xiao Lan, why are you back so late?"

"We came back after processing the fish." Xiao Lan explained to Zhang. "Mother, look, this is what I got in the mountains."

"Sister, why are there so many fish and mushrooms?" Xiao Wen swallowed.

"Mom, let's stew two fish later." Xiao Lan suggested.

"Okay, you and your father go back to your room and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold. Drink some fish soup to warm your body." Zhang said.

After Xiaolan and Shengxuan changed their clothes and came out, Xiaowen spread the mushrooms in the basket on the sack. Her mother was making fish soup, and Xiaoting was slicing fish, waiting to dry it tomorrow.

"Xiao Lan, sit down and rest for a while. Dinner will be served soon. Xiao Wen, Xiao Ting, stop working on it. I will take care of it tomorrow." Zhang said.

When the fish was cooked, the fish soup was white. Everyone had a bowl of it and drank it, and their whole body was warmed up. Zhang's cooking skills were good, and the fish soup was very delicious.

"Dad, have you found a job in town?" After drinking a bowl of fish soup, Xiao Lan felt warm and asked Sheng Xuan in a low voice.

"I carried bags for the grain store all day today and earned five cents." Sheng Xuan said.

"Dad, then you can spare a day after tomorrow and we can go into the mountains. There are a lot of mushrooms and fish in the mountains. Let's get more this time."

"Okay." Sheng Xuan was looking for a temporary job, which he could do whenever he came across it. There might not be work every day.

"Second sister, I want to go too." Xiaowen said to Xiaolan with a blink of his eyes.

Xiaoting also looked at Xiaolan with sparkling eyes.

"No, we can only take you there after we make sure this route is safe. You two should just collect firewood now," Xiao Lan said.

Xiaoting and Xiaowen nodded.

"Dad, let's bring more things with us when we go the day after tomorrow. Then we can see if we can find a place to stay overnight. It's not close on the road, and we've been tossing around too late today."

"Okay." Sheng Xuan agreed immediately.

Zhang hesitated for a few times, but finally did not object. The family was not well off after the separation, so it was good for the father and daughter to make more food. The three children were growing up, and eating steamed bread and bean porridge every day was too unnutritious.

She didn't plan to use the five taels of silver left by her parents until she had no other choice. If something unexpected happened at home, it could help her out. Besides, the child was accompanied by her father this time, which made her feel more at ease.
