Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying used young branches and long grass to weave simple mats to block the wind; the Zhou sisters and An An went to collect firewood.

Zhou Yu helped build the shed, trying to make it as spacious as possible. The rabbit skins that had been peeled off earlier were simply processed with wood ash so that they could serve as a mattress, although it was only enough for An An.

In addition, everyone cut a lot of grass and spread it on the open space to dry.

In fact, there is no shortage of hay on the mountain, but it is all dry and brittle, and will turn into grass powder with a slight touch. These are spread on the bottom layer to isolate moisture, and the newly dried grass is spread on the top to serve as a mat.

When you go to bed at night, light a fire around the shed and be careful not to catch fire, so you won’t be too cold.

By the time these things were sorted out, it was already getting dark.

Everyone worked together to make a few torches, and then prepared dinner around the fire.

I didn’t finish the meat from lunch, but there wasn’t much left, so I cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup and mixed it with some dry food to eat.

In fact, this kind of food is considered quite good in Tongshutun.

After eating and drinking, everyone talked around the fire for a while, and then went to the cliff with torches to light the way.

An An turned on the treasure hunting function and searched for a while. This was not a jade mine at all. It was only because of her koi attribute that she could find so many jades!

However, these words cannot be said out loud, and we can only let them search. The harvest this time is already enough to surprise them, so we should just take things slow.

She yawned and fell asleep in Zhou Yu's arms.

Zhou Yu handed the torch to Xu Xia, hushed everyone, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid we can't find it anymore. Let's go back."

Aunt Zhao nodded: "That's right, we should be content. We have already found someone so old!" She would not even dare to dream of this in the past!

After returning to the straw hut and rekindling the fire, everyone went to sleep separately.

To be on the safe side, Zhou Yu and Xu Xia took turns to keep watch.

That night was peaceful and uneventful.

At dawn, Qin Ying emerged from the straw hut and was stunned to see Zhou Yu standing by the fire. "Sir, you...didn't sleep all night?"

"I slept for half the night," Zhou Yu smiled. "We don't have much food left, do we? Xu Xia is out looking for something to eat. You guys should get up and pack up."

Then he got up and walked away to look for firewood.

Qin Ying went to wake everyone up, and everyone quickly got themselves ready, washed up, and prepared to have breakfast.

When I put all the dry food together, there really wasn't much left.

Aunt Zhao didn't think much of it: "Let's mix some wild vegetables in, soak the bread in it, and cook it into porridge. Why can't we fill our stomachs?"

It’s much better than what we ate during the famine!

Qin Ying looked at the Zhou sisters and said hurriedly, "Mom, let's split up and look for something else. Maybe we can find something else to eat.

"We still have a few pheasant eggs from yesterday. We don't need to eat so much."

Aunt Zhao looked a little embarrassed, "That's right!" It doesn't matter what happens to them, don't we still have Lord Zhou and his sister and Xu Xia?

So they entrusted An An to the Zhou sisters, and the three of them dispersed to look for wild vegetables and collect firewood.

A quarter of an hour later, when we returned to the campsite, Xu Xia had also returned, dragging a wolf in his hand, with some blood on his body.

Everyone's nerves were tense. Xu Xia hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'm not injured, and I didn't encounter a pack of wolves. I just encountered a lone wolf."

An An quickly turned on the surveillance camera, and good thing was that there were no wolves within a radius of twenty miles, so they were safe.

Xu Xia continued, "I encountered wolves only after I had walked deep into the mountains. If we had stayed at the mountainside or foothills, we wouldn't have encountered wolves."

Zhou Yu frowned. Since there were wolves on the mountain, there might be other wild animals as well. "For safety's sake, after we get down the mountain, we should warn the villagers in each village to be more cautious when going up the mountain in the future and never go alone."

In any case, discovering a wolf is never a happy thing, so everyone unanimously decided to go down the mountain and go home after breakfast.

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying gained a lot, so this meal was enough to fill them up.

As for the wolf meat, it was too tough and took a lot of time to cook. They were also afraid that the strong smell of blood would attract more wild animals, so they didn't eat it and Xu Xia carried it down the mountain on his back.

Although they didn't gain much on the way back, they did find a lot of wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, and even a rabbit crashed to death in front of them.

Their good luck made them extremely excited and they didn't even feel tired at all.

After returning to Tongshutun, everyone else took their animals home, but Zhou Yu and Xu Xia took the wolf corpse straight to Uncle Chen Jiu's house.

When Uncle Chen Jiu heard there were wolves in the mountains, he didn't dare take it lightly. He immediately gathered everyone in the village and solemnly explained the matter, emphasizing the dangers of the mountains. "We have enough food and water now, so there's no need to risk going deep into the mountains!"

The villagers all agreed and promised that even if they went to collect firewood, they would only go at the foot of the mountain and would never go into the mountain.

When they returned home, smoke was already rising from the Zhao family's kitchen. Zhao Hu said across the wall, "Sir! You don't have to cook for lunch! We'll make plenty here and send it to you later!"

Zhou Yu agreed readily.

Seeing Zhang Jinzhi's resentful face, Zhou Yu put away his smile and said seriously, "There are wolves in the mountains."

Zhang Jinzhi was startled and quickly looked him up and down, "Are you all right, sir? Did you encounter a wolf?"

When I saw the blood on Xu Xia's body, I immediately felt dizzy and thought, "Oh my God, I hope nothing happened!"

Xu Xia hurriedly said, "I'm the only one who encountered this. This is wolf blood." He turned around and showed it to him carefully.

Zhang Jinzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yu pulled Zhang Jinzhi into the inner room and showed him the jadeite he brought back.

Zhang Jinzhi's eyes nearly popped out of his head, and his voice stammered: "This... this... where... where did this come from?!" Jadeite rough stone! Jadeite rough stones of such good quality are rare!

Zhou Yu briefly recounted what had happened and said, "This is my share. Xu Xia doesn't need to give out his share. I told him to keep it.

"Here's my share," he handed one to Zhang Jinzhi, "I can't let you have it for free, so I'll give you this one and convert the rest into cash. It should be enough for a short while."

Zhang Jinzhi immediately pushed it back: "Sir, I can't accept it!"

"Why not?" Zhou Yu insisted, "You've been running around with me for the past two years, helping me with the county affairs. You've worked really hard.

"I don't have anything else to give you right now, but you still have to support your family. I can't always ask you to pay for it, right? I'm afraid your family hasn't had an easy time these past two years."

Zhang Jinzhi lowered his head, and a tear fell from his eyes and landed directly on the back of his hand.

Zhou Yu sighed softly, "You and I are family, don't be polite with me. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me directly. Even if I can't help you, don't I still have my grandfather?"
