Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

A mouthful of fish soup.

Feel the light, fresh and smooth fish flavor.

Xu Wenyan sighed and exclaimed: "xuan~!" Then he patted his belly.

Several little guys also imitated Xu Wenyan: "xuan~!"

"Haha."

These funny guys made Wang Dongmei laugh.

The children shared five small fish, and Chen Sanlin and Zhou Jianye each got twelve.

Even the bones of the small fish were chewed up and eaten by everyone.

The staple food was the yam that we dug up yesterday. It was a very filling and delicious meal.

After dinner, everyone got busy again.

Xu Wenyan stood up and stretched a few times, then sighed.

Busy, it’s better to be busy.

Xu Wenyan took out the roll of wire and bent it back and forth about three or four centimeters from one end. After a while, the bent part began to heat up and broke.

This is caused by metal fatigue, and this principle can be used to break the metal more easily.

Holding the small piece of wire, Xu Wenyan found a relatively rough stone and rubbed it back and forth on it. He originally wanted to use the needle directly as a fishhook, but that was really too wasteful.

It only needs one end to be slightly sharper. When the friction is almost enough, Xu Wenyan takes out the carving knife and breaks off a hook at the front end of the wire.

With this secondary hook, the fish caught is easier to hang on the hook. It is then carefully adjusted and refined, then taken to the fire to heat and shape, and finally placed in cold water. The homemade fish hook is then completed.

You can only use hemp rope for fishing line. In fact, it would be better to use the tendons of wild animals, but we don’t have the conditions for that now, so we have to make do with what we have.

Holding the bag of earthworms, Xu Wenyan went to the pond, hung the bait, fixed the fishing rod, and just waited to see if there was any movement on the fishing rod.

This pond is very deep, so it doesn't matter whether you use a fishing float or not.

During this period, Xu Wenyan did not waste any time and began to observe the surroundings of the pond. After scanning for a long time, he saw bamboo a little further away.

Xu Wenyan finally felt relieved. He had been here for several days and hadn't seen any trace of bamboo. Without that thing, it would be more difficult to survive in the wild.

After determining the route from the pond, Xu Wenyan plans to go there with Chen Sanlin tomorrow.

After sitting for half an hour, there was still no bite. Xu Wenyan sighed and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later."

I originally wanted to try my luck today, but now that the base has not been established yet, there is no need to waste time here.

......

Jixiang Village, in a cave in the back mountain.

Zhou Dabao's face was covered with tear marks, and there was a very obvious scar on his left ear, which was scratched by thorns.

"Mom, I'm so hungry." The little fat boy who used to be has obviously lost weight now.

He Xianhua, who was standing by, was not in a much better state, with her hair tangled up in clumps: "Be good, Dabao, we can have dinner after daddy comes back."

He Xianhua was dizzy and hungry. Today was the fourth day since they escaped. When they just separated from Xu Wenyan, Zhou Jianjia took them to a cave in the back mountain.

Most of the people in Jixiang Village know about this cave, but there is no other way because they have to find a place to stay in the wild.

They haven't found the source of the fire these days, and both mother and son have red spots on their bodies from mosquito bites, which looks particularly creepy.

I don’t know how long it took, but a man finally walked to the entrance of the cave.

Zhou Jianjia was holding two bird eggs and a few shepherd's purse in his hand, which were mixed with some weeds that looked very similar to shepherd's purse.

He saw these wild vegetables at Xu Wenyan's house and saw them eating them. He didn't expect that they could be used now.

“That’s all you found?”

Looking at the food in Zhou Jianjia's hand, He Xianhua was furious: "How can we eat without fire? Dabao has been hungry all day."

"I know Dabao has been hungry all day, but without flint, how can I know how to make a fire?"

He Xianhua said with a stern face: "Zhou Jianjia, after marrying you, I have been living a life of slavery. Look at my face, it is getting more and more sallow, and my hands are getting more and more rough.

Over the years, has your Zhou family ever given me a good day? "

Zhou Jianjia was also feeling bad. They were already fleeing, and this woman didn't go out to find something to eat but was here making sarcastic remarks.

I had originally planned to just ignore her and let the matter go, but I didn't expect He Xianhua to get louder and louder.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Jianjia slapped He Xianhua on the face and said, "Stop arguing. You still know that you look pale. Sanlin's wife is also working, why is he so white?

You, a woman, are not as handsome as his wife, and you are still here to blame me?

What? Do I not want to light a fire? Do I want to see Dabao starving? "

He Xianhua, who was knocked to the ground, listened to Zhou Jianjia say so much, and the only thing she heard was him praising Xu Wen Yanbai. She widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Jianjia with disappointment.

"Well, you Zhou Jianjia, you also learn from your unfilial nephew to like male wives, right? You are a disgusting thing walking behind." He Xianhua roared.

Zhou Dabao, who was standing by, started crying again when he saw his parents arguing. Even Zhou Jianjun looked in disbelief. After so many years of marriage, this was the first time that He Xianhua dared to resist him.

"It's a rebellion! It's really a rebellion!"

Zhou Jianjia grabbed He Xianhua's hair and hit her. Two bird eggs fell from his hands to the ground.

No one knew where He Xianhua got the courage from at this time, but she actually started fighting with Zhou Jianjia. She was a woman who grew up in the countryside and had been working since she was a child, so she was really strong.

Just as the two men were fighting, a group of armored soldiers came in from outside the cave.

The leading man had a red scarf tied around his collar and his long hair was also tied up with the red scarf.

"How do we deal with these people, General Li?"

The man on Li Mu’s left said.

The army led by Li Mu was originally going to support the front line, but the Qian army successively captured three cities of the Lin state, and the hope of repelling the enemy was slim.

This team of thirty people, despite the obstruction of the Lin State generals, deserted and by the time they arrived at Jixiang Village, only twelve soldiers were left.

Although there are few people, they are well-equipped. All of them wear helmets and armor, and the sabers in their hands also declare their status.

The remaining bandits in the village were also killed by Li Mu's army.

Seeing these Lin Kingdom soldiers rushing in, He Xianhua thought that Lin Kingdom had sent good news and was here to take them home.

"Sir, sir, is the war over?" He Xianhua crawled over excitedly and grabbed Li Mu's thigh regardless of the scars on his face.

Li Mu frowned. Before he could make any move, the soldier on his left kicked He Xianhua to the ground. "End it! We are fighting in the battlefield, but you guys are just relaxing and hiding in the mountains."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Although He Xianhua was kicked several meters away, he dared not say anything.

Ordinary people in this dynasty were too afraid of military officers.

"Is there any food in your village?" Li Mu asked.

They walked along the way and searched all over Jixiang Village. All the tables, chairs, benches, quilts and clothes in it were looted by the refugees.

They had also been fleeing all the way here, and they must have gone hungry so many times.

My body can no longer support this armor.

Zhou Jianjia knew that if the answer he gave was not satisfactory, his family would be doomed.
