Huang Jiabao’s incident became the biggest news in the village that morning, and the culprit, Yao Qingnian, was drinking white porridge at home.

"Aunt Liu, good morning!"

Liu Shuyue was just about to go downstairs when she met Luo Erya coming over.

"Erya, have you had breakfast? Qingnian is in there."

"I have eaten, auntie!"

Seeing that the courtyard gate was open, Luo Erya walked straight in.

"Why are you alone? Where's Lu Shuangshuang?"

Looking behind Luo Erya, there was no one else.

"I just went to her house, and she said she had work to do and couldn't go, so we'll make an appointment another day."

"Okay, then the two of us will go, you wait for me for a while."

Yao Qingnian asked Yinuo to help clean up the dishes, and she prepared her food and went up the mountain with Luo Erya.

The mountain air carries the scent of soil, mixed with the fragrance of grass. Taking a deep breath seems to make people integrate into nature.

"Qingnian, have you heard about Huang Jiabao's situation?"

The two chatted as they walked, and Luo Erya talked about what happened in the morning.

"heard."

She did this, how could she not know?

"Huang Jiabao is always doing nothing, he deserves to be blackmailed by Lin Meili this time!"

"Huh? What's going on with Lin Meili?"

"You don't know, that pig belongs to Lin Meili, and Huang Jiabao paid 500 coins to let her go!"

She really didn't know this, and it just happened to be thrown to her. It can only be said that Lin Meili was unlucky.

Before they knew it, they had entered the mountains, came to the old place, and started working: "Er Ya, dig more shepherd's purse, and I'll make shepherd's purse dumplings for you to eat."

"Okay, keep it on me."

Thinking of shepherd's purse dumplings, Luo Erya felt like drooling. There was nothing she could do about it, since Yao Qingnian's cooking was so delicious!

Yao Qingnian was responsible for picking Mousetail Grass. She picked all the Mousetail Grass in this area. Except for those in the backpack, she quietly put all of them into the space. So much Mousetail Grass was enough for her to use for a year. The picking of Mousetail Grass in spring this year ended here, and the next time would have to wait until next year.

Yao Qingnian specially cleaned up the utility room and made a space to store these fresh-keeping products, so that they would not occupy her refrigerator. Anyway, the space could still serve the function of preserving food.

The two of them quickly picked the wild vegetables, leaving some for making dumplings, and Yao Qingnian gave all the shepherd's purse to Luo Erya. This way, their family would have a source of wild vegetables for several days.

"We've picked the wild vegetables, let's go dig bamboo shoots!"

The two came to the bamboo forest they had been to last time and happened to meet Ye Youcai who was cutting bamboo.

"Brother Ye!"

"Qingnian, Erya, why are you here on the mountain?"

There were several bamboos placed next to Ye Youcai, and he had cut nearly ten of them in the morning.

"Come and pick wild vegetables!"

Luo Erya showed Ye Youcai the wild vegetables in her backpack.

"There are more wild vegetables in the mountains than near the village, but you have to be careful, there are many snakes and insects in the mountains."

"Okay, go ahead! Let's go dig some bamboo shoots."

Yao Qingnian and Luo Erya walked towards the bamboo forest. The bamboo shoots had grown very long in just a few days. Yao Qingnian picked some that had just emerged, and while Luo Erya was not paying attention, she also threw some into the space so that she wouldn't have to carry them so hard.

The bamboo shoots had been dug, and while it was still early, Yao Qingnian wanted to go into the mountains to see if there were any wild animals. It would be dangerous if Luo Erya followed, and he would have to divide his attention to take care of her, so Yao Qingnian asked her to go back first.

"Er Ya, I left something where I just dug wild vegetables. You go back with the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots first, and I'll go get them."

"I'll go with you!"

"No, it's inconvenient to carry wild vegetables and bamboo shoots."

"Okay, I'll go back first, you be careful."

"it is good."

Yao Qingnian watched Luo Erya leave, turned around and walked up the mountain and into the deep mountains.

She went straight to the same valley as last time and dug herbs along the valley. The valley was very large and very suitable for the growth of medicinal materials. In a short while, Yao Qingnian dug a lot of herbs, such as Dendrobium officinale, Polygonatum sibiricum, etc.

After picking the herbs, she came to the stream where she was last time. The wild celery was still growing well. She quickly cut a large bunch and put it in the space, and went back to give half to Luo Erya.

After packing up her things and heading back to the forest, Yao Qingnian wanted to see if there was any prey. When she was tidying up her space two days ago, she took out all her treasures, including her guns, crossbows, etc., which had all traveled through with her. The last time she hunted a wild boar, it was urgent and she didn't look closely. With these things, the wild boar was no match for her at all.

Yao Qingnian came to the forest where she had been last time. The traces of the wild boar had been covered by weeds. Few people came to this forest, and the vegetation grew very fast, so snakes and insects could easily hide in it. If she hadn't changed her equipment, she wouldn't dare to act rashly.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a brown shadow eating leaves. When she got closer, she saw that it was a first-class protected wild animal in the country - the sika deer. In modern times, if you hunt this, you will end up in jail.

But this is ancient times. The whole body of a deer is a treasure, and many parts can be used as medicine. Its antlers, horns, blood, whip, tail, fetus, tendons, bones, liver, etc. are all precious Chinese medicines. She wants a living one; it is more valuable!

So Yao Qingnian took out the crossbow in the space, found the right opportunity, and shot at the sika deer's leg. The sika deer was frightened and jumped out to escape. She shot the arrow again and hit the deer's other leg. The sika deer's leg was injured and it fell to the ground.

Yao Qingnian ran over and saw a living deer lying on the ground. She found a rope and tied up the deer. The sika deer was still trying to struggle. After she was done with it, she threw the deer into the space and then walked down the mountain.

Back in the yard, Yao Qingnian took out the wild celery he had picked today and asked Yinuo to deliver it to someone before it got dark.

"Yino, please help deliver this wild celery to your uncle Daniu's house. Tell them that I found it by accident when I was coming down the mountain. There is too much to eat, so send some to them."

Yinuo nodded and ran out with the wild celery.

Yao Qingnian took out the bamboo shoots dug today, peeled them and washed them, put them in the pot to blanch them, then took them out and put them in a winnowing basket and spread them out. She will put them in the sun to dry tomorrow, and put them away after they are dry. She can eat delicious dried bamboo shoots all year round.

After finishing all this, Yinuo just came back with a few wild vegetable cakes: "This is given by Grandma Chunmiao. She said she wanted to thank us for the wild celery."

The villagers like to exchange gifts, so Yao Qingnian didn't care and asked Yinuo to put it on the table and eat it at dinner.
