"Uncle Li, what's the matter?" Xu Ning looked at Li the Hunter's pair of hands covered with calluses and scars reaching out to him, and the next moment he opened his palms and handed over a lifelike wooden dagger!

The wood looked very fresh, obviously having been cut down not long ago.

In other words, this dagger was made by Li the Hunter all night long.

"Brother Li, this is not suitable!" Zhang refused on behalf of Xu Ning. Xu Ning looked at it eagerly. This dagger was really suitable for her!

Li the Hunter had the experience of the last fight with Old Lady Xu, so he put the wooden dagger in Xu Ning's hand without saying anything.

"Thank you, Uncle Li! This dagger is so beautiful, I love it!" Xu Ning was so happy to get his own exclusive weapon that he couldn't stop smiling. He jumped up and down to show off in front of the second child of the Xu family. In the end, even the old children of the Xu family were envious of him.

"Yaya, be careful and don't scratch yourself!"

"Got it, grandma!" Xu Ning couldn't let go of the new dagger. He didn't put it down until Zhang called him to eat, then he put it down and hid it at his waist.

Dinner was still fish soup. Maybe it was because of his good mood, but Xu Ning felt that the soup tasted much better.

After dinner, Zhang used the water that Xu Da had fetched from the river to wash Xu Ning. Xu Ning shyly took the basin and hid behind a tree, refusing to let Zhang help him.

"Mom, I can do it myself!" Zhang suddenly remembered that her daughter was no longer stupid, and took a set of Xu Daya's clean clothes to cover her.

Xu Ning felt quite embarrassed when there was someone next to him while taking a shower. He quickly wiped his face, hands, feet and torso with a rag and felt that the smell on his body had faded a little.

"Mom, I'm fine." Xu Ning took the clothes from Zhang, but because she didn't know how to tie them, Zhang helped her put them on after she put them on.

The clothing of the Daqing Dynasty is a bit like her grandmother's clothes, which are tied and tied many times, and are very cumbersome and troublesome.

After helping Xu Ning change into clean clothes, Zhang took the original dirty clothes and started to mend clothes for Xu Ning.

The clothes Xu Ning was wearing at the time were brightly colored and not suitable for fleeing from famine. Zhang had to quickly mend the dirty clothes and put them back on Xu Ning.

"Your baby is so cute!" Old Mrs. Xu pulled Xu Ning to sit on the haystack. It was a cool evening in August, and Xu Ning felt even cooler and more comfortable after being washed.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter with eyes full of relief. If it hadn't been the famine, her good granddaughter would never have had to suffer so much. Such a pretty girl had turned into a weird tomboy.

"Grandma, Uncle Li gave me a dagger today. Can we give him something in return?"

"What do you want to give? My dear girl, that dagger is a gift from your Uncle Li to thank you for telling him there are fish in the river." Old Mrs. Xu didn't want Xu Ning to tell her secret to others just to repay Hunter Li.

"But grandma, Uncle Li's wife has a white mouth. Today she told mom that she wanted to sew clothes for me!" Old Mrs. Xu hugged Xu Ning and sighed. This world will not let people live!

Li the Hunter's wife had given birth prematurely and her health was damaged. Although Li the Hunter could catch prey from time to time, the mother could not only eat those. She had to eat eggs and drink chicken soup. But who wouldn't have eggs on the road to escape famine?

At first, Li the Hunter could exchange his prey for some eggs, but later on, people couldn't even eat sweet potatoes, and Li the Hunter couldn't always catch prey.

"But dear, this is not safe. Grandma doesn't want you to exchange your blessings for food."

"Grandma, the treasures in this box must have a source. Uncle Li is a hunter, and he is not from our village. The village chief can't do anything about it. We can say that the food was exchanged for the prey Uncle Li caught. Uncle Li is so powerful, no one else dares to covet him!" Moreover, Xu Ning thought a lot. She couldn't just rely on the treasure chest and live off it. In fact, she hoped to use the prey-for-food excuse to get the villagers to exchange things for food.

"Grandma, don't worry. The things in the treasure chest can be exchanged. It won't reduce your blessings or anything. Just put silver in it and you can exchange it for food!" When fleeing from natural disasters and famines, everyone will take care of themselves first. Xu Ning is not stupid. She is not a saint and cannot sacrifice herself for others.

"Really, grandma, I'm not lying to you. This is what the old immortal told me. The food in the box was given by the old immortal as compensation for my injury. The old immortal also said that I can use this box as I like in the future!"

After much persuasion, Xu Ning finally persuaded Old Lady Xu to let her take some things out of the box.

What Xu Ning took out was two kilograms of flour. Xu Ning specially put it in a black bag and asked her mother Zhang to put it in the pot when cooking the fish soup.

The smell of fish is strong, but the aroma of noodles can cover it up. Besides, the noodles are white, so they will not be noticed unless you look too closely.

"Grandma, please give this piece of brown sugar to Aunt Li." Xu Ning took out a piece of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper. It looked to be the size of a palm and you couldn't tell what it was unless you looked closely.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Seeing that it was still early, Old Lady Xu was worried about taking her eldest son with her, so she walked over to Li the Hunter in two steps.

Hunter Li's family had already finished their meal and were resting. Mrs. Feng was mending clothes for the kid, while Hunter Li was sharpening bamboo arrows nearby.

"Brother Li, you are busy!" The silly old man Xu scared old lady Xu with his voice, and old lady Xu was so angry that she slapped him!

One by one, no one of them will be worry-free!

"Mom?" Xu Da was stunned by the slap?

"Why are you screaming so loudly? You scared the kid awake!" Xu Da muttered as he looked at the kid blowing bubbles in Feng's arms. He was even more confused when he met those round eyes.

Mom? This kid...are you sure you're not seeing things?

"Brother Li, come here." Old Mrs. Xu ignored her silly son and quietly called out to Li the Hunter, who quickly put down the bamboo arrow in his hand.

"Aunt, what's the matter?" Li the Hunter said in a breathy voice. As soon as he stood up, Old Lady Xu stuffed something into his arms.

"Break some for your wife to boil water at night. This is what Daya secretly hid before." Old Lady Xu finished speaking quickly, and her voice became much louder: "Well, oh, by the way, Daya really likes the dagger you gave her, and Dabao and Xiaobao are also very greedy, but that damn girl refused to let them play with it, so I asked what kind of wood it was, and I asked Dayong to chop it and make two daggers for the children to play with!"

"Auntie, leave it to me. I'll make it for you tomorrow!" Li the Hunter probably knew what was in his arms and was deeply moved. Isn't it just a dagger? Easy!

"That won't do! You didn't sleep last night, how can you bear to stay up like this every day?! Dayong has nothing to do on night duty, so you let him cut it!"

After the final fight, Li the Hunter was defeated, but he promised Xu Da that he would teach him how to make bamboo arrows from today, and they would go into the mountains to hunt together when they had a break.

Xu Da was so happy that he felt like he was full of energy all night. When Xu Ning got up the next morning and Xu Dabao took out his extremely ugly dagger, he laughed so hard that he woke up!

The smile on Xu Dabao's face quickly disappeared, and Xu Ning didn't notice it until Old Lady Xu's loving slap pampered her back again.

"Xu Daya! Do you owe me?"

"Granny! I didn't, I just... I just... Hahahaha really... I couldn't help it... Hahahaha"
