For dinner, they cooked rice. Because there were many braised dishes, each person only had half a bowl of rice. Li Huawen praised while eating: "Second sister, your cooking is so delicious. Let's take it to the county town to sell it for money."

In the past, I only knew that meat was delicious, but I never thought that offal, which no one usually eats, could be so delicious.

Li Xiaoxiao had thought about this problem while cooking just now. If she really went to the county town to sell, she would have to run back and forth every day. This thing was cheap and could not be sold at a high price. If she sold it to a restaurant, the price might be higher. The main reason was that she made money too slowly. She was in urgent need of money now. Compared to that, she preferred to go hunting in Jiunv Mountain. It would not be too late to do these things when she had money in the future.

The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao got up as usual, and Li Huawen heard the noise and got up too.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Li Xiaoxiao was a little curious. Her younger brother usually sleeps the most. Since she came here, he is the last one to get up every day.

Li Huawen followed her out the door and whispered, "Second sister, I will get up every morning to exercise. I want to learn archery from you and be as impressive as you were yesterday."

Li Xiaoxiao gets up in the morning to run. Li Huawen asked her about it. Li Xiaoxiao said that she did it to exercise her body, to make herself strong and less likely to get sick.

He was shocked by the majestic and domineering look of Li Xiaoxiao when she shot the arrow at the Li family yesterday. He vowed to become a person like his second sister so that the Li family would not dare to bully them anymore.

"Exercise and archery are hard work, and you need to persevere and not give up halfway. Can you do it?" Li Xiaoxiao was quite happy for him to follow her every day, but was afraid that he would be a flash in the pan, so she asked him again.

"I can do it. I will study hard and learn archery seriously. When I grow up, it will be my turn to protect my elder sister, my second sister, my parents and me."

From then on, there was Li Huawen behind Li Xiaoxiao every morning.

After breakfast, Li Xiaoxiao came to Li Quanfu's house. Li Quanfu had just returned from the fields and asked her if anything happened.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't say much. He just told him that he wanted to build a house after the busy farming season. He told him what kind of house it should be, how many rooms it should have, and what his requirements were. Li Quanfu calculated that this would cost about fifty taels of silver.

Li Xiaoxiao nodded. It was just as she expected. They built it like this. Li Quanfu was a little surprised, but didn't say much. Since they wanted to build it like this, they must be able to come up with the money. Everyone has ways to make money. He didn't ask, so the matter was settled.

It was still early when Li Xiaoxiao came out of Li Quanfu's house. He looked up at the sky. There was no sun and the air was slightly cool. This weather was perfect for hunting.

After going back to get the bow and arrow, and the kettle, Sun made two pancakes for them to eat in case they were hungry on the way. After following Sun's repeated instructions, Li Xiaoxiao went up the mountain.

This time she changed her route and made marks along the way. She was now wearing a new set of gear, including sun protection clothing, a sun hat, sunglasses, and sneakers. She looked completely different. Even if Sun stood in front of her, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize her.

Because no one had walked on the road, there were knee-high weeds and low branches everywhere, and they had to be cleared as they walked. Li Xiaoxiao did not walk fast. Fortunately, the weather was not hot. Before going up the mountain, he told Sun that he might go back in the afternoon.

She walked and stopped along the way, and after an hour she had hunted two pheasants, which she put into the space. She discovered that putting bloody animals into the space actually had a constant temperature and freshness preservation function. The same condition as when she put them in was the same when she took them out. So she could hunt more prey and store them, and take them out whenever she wanted to eat.

With this realization, Li Xiaoxiao raised the corners of his mouth happily.

He continued to walk forward. More than two hours had passed when he saw a wild sheep in front of him. The wild sheep were different from the ones raised at home. They had strong limbs and were agile and smart. As soon as Li Xiaoxiao spotted it, it ran away. Li Xiaoxiao was upset for a long time.

After walking forward for a long time, he faintly heard the sound of flowing water. Li Xiaoxiao followed the sound, becoming more and more careful, and carefully observing the movements around him. Where there is water, there are usually large animals.

Finally, he saw a stream. The water was clear, and the trees on both sides were more lush than those on the periphery. There was a lot of animal feces on the ground. After making sure it was safe, Li Xiaoxiao came to the stream. The water flowed slowly. He squatted down, scooped up the water with his hands to wash his face. The stream water was cool and comfortable.

Most of the fatigue caused by the journey was instantly driven away. He drank a few more sips and found the sweet aftertaste. The stream water was flowing, clean and pollution-free. He filled the kettle again and wanted to leave with satisfaction. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

Judging from the time, her current location has been deep in the mountains. She has seen more animals than before. There are already several pheasants and rabbits in her space.

From the feces on the ground, it can be seen that large animals have appeared here. Instead of looking for them everywhere, it is better to wait here. So he found a thick tree, climbed up in a few steps, and found a comfortable place to sit down. The line of sight here is just right, and he can see the whole picture of both sides of the stream. He swung his legs leisurely, took out the pancakes baked by Sun from the space, which were soft and chewy, and drank a sip of water from the stream. It was really comfortable.

I looked at the time and it was already eleven o'clock. In the past, I would have been halfway back at this time.

There is no sun in the sky and it doesn't look like it will rain. Now is the busy farming season and we have just started harvesting wheat. It would be troublesome if it rains.

After eating and drinking, he put away the food and kept his eyes on the ground. After more than ten minutes, a little rabbit hopped to drink water. It was not a big one. Li Xiaoxiao did not move. If he shot it, the smell of blood in the air would alert other animals and make them find other places to drink water. So he could only watch it leave.

After a long time, Li Xiaoxiao sat there bored and drowsy, almost falling down. Suddenly, she heard a wolf howling. She was startled and sat up straight. The wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound. The tree she was under had dense leaves that almost completely blocked her body. She could see clearly below by moving the leaves.

"Awoo." Another wolf howl, getting closer and closer. Li Xiaoxiao looked under the tree vigilantly.

Soon, five or six gray wolves were seen. The leading wolf was obviously stronger than the others behind it. It had sharp eyes and agile steps. It came to the stream and lowered its head to drink water. The other wolves dispersed and each found a place to drink water.

Li Xiaoxiao sat on the tree and thought silently. There were too many wolves. She didn't plan to kill them. Wolves are very aggressive animals and extremely smart. Now she is outnumbered. If she acts rashly, her chances of winning are slim.

After drinking the water, the leader wolf found a piece of grass, lay down, rolled over and fell asleep. The others followed suit, either sleeping or playing, and showed no intention of leaving.

Li Xiaoxiao felt a little overwhelmed. With several wolves here, other animals didn't dare to come over. How could she go hunting? She waited for another half an hour, but they still didn't show any signs of leaving. She became restless. It was already past 2 p.m. If she didn't leave, it would be dark by the time she got home. Her family would be so worried.

After thinking for a moment, a smile gradually appeared on Li Xiaoxiao's lips, and a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes. But she had room to cheat, so she might as well give it a try.
