Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

There was no snow in the mountains, and the fallen leaves made a squeaking sound when she stepped on them. Xiao Lan went straight into the forest and set traps for the main area. By the time the traps were set, it was almost noon.

Xiao Lan looked up and looked around for pheasants. She wanted to catch one to take home as a snack.

It’s just that this kind of prey is a little hard to find in winter. We were too aggressive in catching rabbits this spring, and now it’s rare to even see wild rabbits in the mountains.

In the past, it was very easy to find prey near the water sources in the mountains, but since the beginning of winter this year, there has been no snow, and the water sources in the mountains are occupied by large animals. Many small animals dare not go there. Of course, Xiao Lan did not dare to go there either. Now she didn't know where they were hiding. If she went there and happened to run into them, it would be terrible.

Xiao Lan went into the mountains today to take a general look at the situation in the mountains. Xiao Lan carried her backpack and walked forward. A pheasant flapped its wings and flew to a branch. Xiao Lan's eyes lit up and she wanted to shoot it with an arrow. The pheasant fluttered its wings and flew into the dense forest. Xiao Lan ran to chase it quickly.

Finally, the pheasant landed in a bush. The weeds in the bush had all withered and died, with only a few low shrubs growing here and there. The pheasant panicked and ended up killing itself.

The pheasant had been tripped by the bushes. Xiao Lan pounced on it and held the pheasant down. The pheasant cried twice weakly and then became completely quiet.

Xiao Lan was exhausted. She sat down on a rock, wiped the sweat from her face, and threw the pheasant into the basket.

The next day, she fulfilled her promise to the head of the village. She set traps while explaining things to everyone. When she finished setting the last trap, Xiao Lan straightened up and said, "Okay, I don't know if it can stop all the beasts, but it will be helpful. But when you guys go into the mountains to collect firewood, it's best to go in groups. Don't have too many people. Five to ten people in a team is just right. This way, you can ensure the number of people, and you won't lose anyone."

"But even if more people go into the mountains, there will still be casualties if they encounter wild beasts," the village head frowned. "I'm just afraid that wild beasts will hurt people. There are only so many able-bodied men in our village. If something happens to someone's family, it will be too late to rescue them."

"Generally speaking, wild beasts, such as wild boars, will not attack people as long as you do not provoke them. If you encounter a wolf, show your strength and shout loudly. My father, my grandfather, my uncle and I are usually in the village. As long as we hear the cry for help, we will come immediately. If you encounter a blind bear or a female tiger, there is no need to call us, just scatter and run for your lives. I don't have the ability to save people from these two behemoths. However, I guess the big guys' luck will not be that bad.

Everyone started laughing, and Xiao Wen ran out of the house breathlessly, shouting, "Sister, sister..."

Xiao Lan turned around and asked, "Why are you out here when you're not at home studying? Is there something wrong at home?"

"Sister, please go down the mountain quickly. Lord He... Lord He and his men are here and are calling you."

The village head's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to Xiao Lan, "Then Xiao Lan, go back quickly. We can pack up these things and go down the mountain soon to see what happened."

Xiao Lan didn't bother to be polite with them. "Okay, I'll go back first. You guys better be careful and don't step into the trap by yourself."

"Don't worry, go quickly, don't keep the general waiting for too long."

The head of the village and everyone watched the siblings leave. Someone said enviously, "From what Xiaowen said, General Shen is here too. He's a big official..."

"That's right. Lord He comes to Xiaolan's house every now and then. I heard that their rabbit factory was opened in partnership with General Shen."

"Sheng Xuan gave birth to a good daughter. It's only a matter of time before the Sheng family becomes rich."

"They are already well-off. Haven't you seen how many people in our village work for them?"

Seeing that these people were becoming more and more unruly, the village head looked at them coldly and said, "Go on, keep talking. Xiao Lan has very sharp ears. Don't say nonsense. If someone comes to your door, don't say I didn't warn you."

The crowd immediately quieted down, and someone laughed and said, "We are just joking, we are just envious of the other person for having a beautiful daughter."

A large group of men gathered together, and apart from talking about farming and making a living, they also talked about women and children.

The head of the village snorted coldly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The second daughter of the Sheng family is not someone you can easily mess with. Don't think that she is smiling and doesn't care about anything on weekdays. That's because she hasn't encountered anything that makes her care about it. If she really gets serious, our Shengjia Village will never have peace. And her cousin, Xiaoyan, has a sharp tongue. If you really can't help but say something about her, you have to wait until I leave. I won't get involved in your nonsense."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and went down the mountain. As soon as the village head left, everyone winked at each other and didn't dare to continue the topic. They quickly packed up their things and went down the mountain.

"Second sister, there are so many people at home. My parents asked me to come and tell you to go back quickly," Xiao Wen said as they walked along the way. "Lord He also asked you to go back quickly."

A lot of people came, what could be going on?

Xiaolan and Xiaowen trotted back and soon arrived at the entrance of the village. From a distance, they saw a lot of horses outside her house and a few people in official uniforms standing in front of the shop. At this time, many people in the village also came out of their homes and stood not far away to watch, but no one dared to come forward.

Zhang stood at the door, looking around and talking to a man in a dark blue robe. When she saw Xiaolan, she waved to her daughter quickly. This man was none other than Lord He.

When Xiao Lan came over, Zhang hurried to the little girl and said, "Lord He brought a lot of yamen runners here. They just arrived too, and they brought a lot of things with them."

Xiao Lan hurried forward to greet Lord He.
