The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

The adults in the family also told the children not to bring any meat home unless Lin Xi offered it to them. One should not be greedy, as that would make others disgusted.

She also told the children to remember how good Lin Xi had been to them, so the children often helped Lin Xi chop wood, dig wild vegetables, and pick wild fruits, repaying her as best they could.

"What are you thinking about, Daya? Eat the meat quickly!" Lin Xi held up a few skewers of meat and put them in front of Daya.

"Sister Daya, what did you put on the meat? Why does it taste sour and sweet? It's so delicious!"

Yuanyuan squinted her eyes happily and asked, "When grilling the meat, the little girl saw Sister Daya smearing something on the meat?"

Lin Xi and Youfu also looked at her in confusion. This time the barbecue was more delicious than usual. It was not only tender and juicy, but also a little sweet and sour, and not greasy at all!

"Oh, I crushed the wild pears I picked and applied the juice on it!" Daya replied with a smile. She was very happy to see that everyone liked it.

"Sister Daya, let me give you a word: awesome!" Lin Xi gave Daya a thumbs up.

Everyone stopped eating until their stomachs were completely full.

Daya and Yuanyuan diligently washed the dishes, divided the remaining meat and fish into three portions, wrapped them in large leaves and put them in the basket.

Chen Youfu put out the fire and buried the ashes with soil. If there was a fire in the forest, it would be no joke!

"You guys rest here for a while. I'm going to pick herbs for my brother. We'll go down the mountain together when I come back!" Lin Xi said to the three of them.

"Collecting herbs? Sister Lin Xi, do you know herbs?" Yuanyuan asked with her big eyes open in confusion.

"Well, I have a master who is a great doctor and travels around. But he told me not to reveal the fact that I know medicine before I am 13 years old, so I never told him. What do you think? Do you think I, your sister Lin Xi, am more powerful now?" Lin Xi said arrogantly, pinching her round face.

"Are those the ones in your basket?" Daya asked hurriedly.

"That's part of it. We need to find a few more kinds." Lin Xi replied.

"We can pick the herbs in your basket, and you just need to go find those." Daya said.

Yuanyuan and Chen Youfu ran to look at the herbs in the basket and said that they had seen these before but thought they were wild herbs and had never picked them.

"Okay! Thank you three young men for your help. I'm going to go collect other herbs. Be careful!" Lin Xi said to them in a funny way, clasping his fists and bowing.

"Pfft! Go quickly, we'll look for it nearby." Daya was amused by her funny appearance and burst out laughing, and said.

Then, Lin Xi quickly disappeared into the woods again, while Daya and the other two carefully searched nearby.

Lin Xi kept bending over to search, digging with his head down, or picking in the woods. In less than an hour, he had collected all the remaining herbs.

At this moment, she was like a fool, with her mouth wide open and eyes glowing green, staring at the endless expanse of wild Schisandra chinensis in the depression in front of her.

Wow! So many! If we mine them, we will definitely make a lot of money!

Lin Xi felt a lot of silver ingots falling towards him!

She decided to go to the county clinic tomorrow to find out the prices for purchasing herbs.

Once her brother's health is restored, she can go into the mountains to collect herbs!

Although life at home is okay, but as for money, no one can have too much!

She can also bring the children in the village to pick fruits together to increase everyone's income. Sharing joy with others is worse than enjoying it alone!

She said she liked the people in this village very much. They are simple, kind, honest, contented and grateful... In short, they are just what she likes.

Lin Xi picked another half basket of Schisandra chinensis, noted the location here, and walked back briskly.

When she returned to the hut, Daya and the other two had just returned and had already packed up their things.

"Lin Xi, can you take a look at the herbs we picked to make sure they are correct?" When Daya saw Lin Xi come in, she motioned for her to check the herbs.

"Oh! You're right, it's amazing!" Lin Xi said as he looked at the herbs neatly arranged by category.

"We each took a few kinds and picked them according to the examples!" Yuanyuan laughed.

"That's pretty impressive! Let's go down the mountain and go home!"

As Lin Xi spoke, he picked up the silly roe deer, tied the wild rabbit and hung it around his waist, then put the basket of herbs on his back and walked down the mountain first.

I was thinking to myself that I would go to the county town tomorrow to ask about the price of Schisandra chinensis and give them a big surprise!

Daya and Yuanyuan followed, carrying wild vegetables and the remaining grilled fish.

Chen Youfu only held a long wooden stick, and he was responsible for carrying all the firewood picked up along the way down the mountain.

As they walked, Lin Xi couldn't help but hum a song happily!

Such little days are so beautiful!

When she has nothing to do, she goes hunting, catches fish, has a barbecue with the kids, picks herbs for her brother to take care of his health, and lives a life without any disputes. It is simply her paradise!

As a result, maybe even God couldn't bear to see her being so relaxed and comfortable!

Did I work so hard to let you travel through time and space just to let you live like a little hunting girl?

As soon as he came down the mountain, Lin Xi found something was wrong!

It's too quiet!

Occasionally, I would meet one or two women collecting grass for pigs. They didn't chat cheerfully like usual, but instead looked flustered and hurried back to the village.

Daya and the others also realized something was wrong, so they stopped smiling and followed Lin Xi home at a quick pace, anxiously wanting to know what had happened!

As soon as Lin Xi and the others entered the door, Cao came to greet them quickly.

"Put your things down quickly! Are you tired? Come and have some water!" As he said this, he brought each of them a bowl of sugar water.

"Mom, don't be in a hurry! Did something happen in the village?"

Seeing that the four people were staring at her, Cao stopped working and sat down.

She sighed and said with a frown, "Alas! The village chief went to the county town today and came back saying that this year's grain tax has been increased again, directly raised to 7%. Your father went to sell game today and saw the notice posted!"

Daya and the other two stood up suddenly, looking at Cao in disbelief, the blood draining from their faces!

They were not the young masters and ladies who were detached from the world. They knew what such a heavy grain tax meant. They would starve! Some families were even forced to sell their children!

"This, this is not going to allow people to live!" Daya sobbed and tears rolled down her cheeks.

If her family paid 70% of the tax and then exchanged the grain for the necessary oil and salt, the remaining food would only be enough to last for a month, and this was even if the refined grain was replaced with cornmeal or brown rice.

Yuanyuan and Youfu's eyes were red. The days had just passed, were they going to be hungry again?

"Mom, where is my dad?" Lin Xi asked.

"Your father went to the rice field. The village chief just rang the bell three times. Everyone should have rushed to the rice field!" Cao replied.

There is a big bell in the rice field in the village. When there is a major event, it will ring three times. No matter what the villagers are busy with, when they know something big has happened, they will immediately drop what they are doing and rush to the rice field.

"Mom, you stay at home and take care of my brother. I'll go to the rice field to take a look!" Lin Xi said, and turned around and walked out with Daya and the other two.
