Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

The next morning, Liu Jingxue slept until she woke up naturally, then she staggered up the mountain carrying a backpack.

The purpose of her going up the mountain today was to hunt and prepare the leather for making leather boots.

Although some wild goats, wild boars, sika deer, pheasants, and roe deer have been bred in this space, the number is small.

She decided to go into the mountains to look for it, maybe she could find it there.

Those in the space will be kept for reproduction. When the mountains are closed due to heavy snow in the future, they will be used to change the taste and ensure a continuous supply of meat.

After she went up the mountain and walked for a while, she found that there were quite a few people in the mountain today. Along the way, Tuanzi had scanned many villagers.

There were too many people, and she didn't dare to show her extraordinary speed, so she had to walk in at a normal speed.

After walking a distance further in, Liu Jingxue saw a group of half-grown children, including Tiedan from the village chief's family, and many other children she was familiar with.

Seeing Liu Jingxue, the children hurriedly greeted her, "Sister Xiaoxue, you are also going up the mountain."

"What are you doing in the mountains?" Liu Jingxue responded quickly.

The children answered one after another, "We are picking pine cones and hazelnuts with our brothers and sisters."

Liu Jingxue was surprised and said, "Hazelnuts are fine, but pine trees are so tall, you can reach them.

But don’t climb a tree. Falling and getting injured is no small matter.”

The younger children, led by Tiedan, pointed at a group of ten-year-old children.

“Don’t worry, sis, we don’t have to climb a tree.

My brothers and sisters were responsible for climbing the trees and knocking down the pine cones with poles, and we were responsible for picking them up from below.”

Liu Jingxue was relieved when she heard this, but she still reminded them, "Then you have to stay close to your brothers and sisters, don't get lost."

Tiedan waved his hand proudly and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoxue. We have been running in the mountains since we were young, so we are very good at this area.

I can find the way down the mountain with my eyes closed."

Liu Jingxue found it funny. This kid was bragging too much.

She smiled and said, “You are amazing, you can even walk with your eyes closed.

Sister Xiaoxue is not as good as you. She closed her eyes and bumped into a tree after only a few steps. "

After hearing what Liu Jingxue said, the other children couldn't help but laugh.

A child about 11 or 12 years old said, "Tiedan, you are really amazing. How about you show us how to walk down the mountain with your eyes closed?"

Tiedan glared at the man angrily and said, "Brother, don't make trouble.

I'm not wrong, isn't this the metaphor you were talking about before? I was just using it as a metaphor."

The younger children didn't react, but the older ones started laughing again.

A little girl said, “Tiedan, you just heard your brother and sister talk about it and you know the metaphor.

You are so smart, you will definitely be one of the top students in school."

Another little girl retorted, “Just listen to him, he doesn’t know any metaphors.

Besides, this isn't a metaphor, it's just an exaggeration and bragging."

Everyone laughed again.

When Tiedan saw that Sister Xiaoxue's words made him be laughed at by his friends and brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but look at Liu Jingxue aggrievedly.

Liu Jingxue touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed. She didn't know how to face Tiedan's aggrieved look, so she turned to the older children and said, "You must keep an eye on them. Don't let them get lost or get hurt."

The children responded, "Don't worry, sister, we will take good care of them."

After getting their response, Liu Jingxue turned around and walked away in a hurry.

When Tiedan saw Sister Xiaoxue running away like this, he couldn't help but shout from behind, "Sister Xiaoxue, are you doing what your brothers and sisters said in their textbooks, running away in a panic?"

When Liu Jingxue heard this, she wondered why this child spoke so bluntly. Didn't she have any respect?

Afraid that Tiedan would say something that would hurt her, Liu Jingxue could not help but quicken her pace again.

After not getting a response from Liu Jingxue, Tiedan looked at his eldest brother again, "Brother, tell me quickly, did Sister Xiaoxue run away?"

Tiedan's elder brother, Zhang Zhisheng, gave him a displeased look and said, "Just calm down.

If you say that about your sister Xiaoxue, be careful or she will come back and beat you up.

I can't beat her, so I won't help you.

She is so strong that my dad and your dad combined are no match for her.

Even Uncle San couldn't beat her.

You will be beaten for nothing, and no one will avenge you."

"Brother, you are such a sinister villain, please don't sow discord between me and Sister Xiaoxue.

We are on good terms, she won't beat me." Tiedan said with his neck stiff.

At this time, Liu Jingxue had not walked far, and the conversation between the two brothers behind her naturally fell into her ears.

She felt a little puzzled. She had only interacted with Tiedan very rarely, so how could she have the illusion that they had a good relationship?

But this kid is very outgoing and can talk to anyone. If he were in later generations, he would definitely be a sales elite.

As she continued walking further in, Liu Jingxue would occasionally meet villagers who were chopping wood or collecting mountain products.

I guess there is no work in the fields, so everyone has gone into the mountains to work.

As she went deeper and deeper, she gradually stopped meeting other people.

After Tuanzi explored and confirmed that there was no one around, Liu Jingxue quickened her pace.

"Tuanzi, scan and see if you find any herds of wild goats or deer around.

Our goal today is to bring back two sheep and two deer."

Tuanzi responded, "Okay master, Tuanzi will scan it carefully."

With Tuanzi helping with the scanning, Liu Jingxue no longer had to work hard to find traces of her prey.

Besides, she didn't have the ability to find traces of any animal in such a vast forest.

Now we are close to the mountains, where people are sparsely populated and some precious medicinal herbs appear occasionally.

Although there are many medicinal herbs planted in the space, Liu Jingxue will not let go of any she sees.

The main reason is that many medicinal herbs are annual. Even if she doesn't pick them, they will turn into nutrients for the forest when winter comes.

In this case, it would be better to let her pick it and realize its herbal value.

I had promised my aunt that I would go up the mountain to collect herbs and send them to her so that she could help my uncle and the others recuperate during the winter.

Perhaps this area is not the activity range of goats or deer. Tuanzi did not find any trace of them along the way, but he did collect a lot of herbs.

After walking for a while, Tuanzi's voice sounded, "Master, I heard the sound of flowing water, there should be a water source ahead.

There should be a lot of animals drinking water at the water source, why not go and take a look."

Under Tuanzi's guidance, Liu Jingxue carefully approached the water source.

We really found a lot of animal footprints beside the stream, and even some animals were drinking water there.

“Master, there is a group of goats in front of you on the left, but they are too far away to fit into the space.

You need to get closer to take them in.”

Liu Jingxue looked up and found that there was indeed a group of goats drinking water in front of her left.

The goat herd is very vigilant, and special guard sheep are arranged to watch the movements around them.

Liu Jingxue carefully walked around for a distance and approached the herd of goats.

When they were within 20 meters, they quickly gathered a dozen goats into the space.

One of the goals was accomplished, and Liu Jingxue discussed ideas with Tuanzi.

"Tuanzi, do you think I should go somewhere else to look for the deer, or just wait here?"

“We’ve been walking for so long and haven’t spotted any deer. It won’t do any good if we keep walking around like headless flies.

Deer always need to drink water, so the owner might as well wait here for them."

Liu Jingxue nodded in agreement, "It's not a good idea to just wait and do nothing. I'll be collecting herbs nearby, Tuanzi, you monitor the situation here.

If you see a herd of deer approaching, notify me."

About an hour later, after Liu Jingxue had picked all the nearby herbs, Tuanzi finally reminded her that a herd of deer were coming to drink water.

After stealthily approaching the herd of deer and collecting a few of them into the space, Liu Jingxue left there and walked back.
