Zhao Qiaoniang's backpack was filled with bamboo tubes, which were made by the carpenter yesterday. There were more than thirty of them in total.

Today they not only have to find prey, but also fill these bamboo tubes with water.

Zhao Qiaoniang followed Naitang. Naitang was quite fast and took them directly to the back mountain.

Just as I was about to go into the mountains, I saw Wang Qiuju and her gang of women.

Wang Qiuju held a bow and arrow in her hand and said, "Hey! Isn't this my second sister-in-law? We are in the deep mountains and old forests. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by a big tiger? Hahaha..."

The people around also laughed: "Your second sister-in-law is really brave. I heard that she has separated from your family now."

Wang Qiuju sneered, "We don't keep useless people in our family. They can't do anything at home and are always looking down on others. Who can stand it?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her and said:

"I don't do anything at home? Wang Qiuju, others can say this, but you can't say that I washed all your underwear for you.

And your brother from your mother's side brought all his clothes back for me to wash, and you actually dared to say that I did nothing, do you have any shame?"

Wang Qiuju sneered:

"You can only wash a few pieces of clothes, what else can you do?

My Lin family will still be around even without you. You keep looking at me with disdain all day long. Do you really think you can hunt like me?

Don't you even look at what you are?"

Wang Qiuju had disliked Zhao Qiaoniang for a long time. She used to do all the housework, but now that she was gone, she had to share the housework with Sun Mei.

She hunts all day and then has to do housework when she gets home. How can she feel good?

Zhao Qiaoniang said with a "Pooh" sound:

"Who do you think you are?

You did go out hunting, but I never ate anything from you. Instead, I did all the dirty work in your house."

Zhao Qiaoniang also didn't understand. Old Lady Lin was particularly tolerant towards Sun Mei and Wang Qiuju, so why was she so harsh on her?

She didn't care about all that and just took Mulan and Cui Ya and headed towards the deep mountains and forests.

Wang Qiuju was so angry that she stamped her feet. "I'm so angry! Just wait! Sooner or later, I'll make you pay. I'd better let a big beast bite you to death."

Wang Qiuju's subordinates said, "We don't dare to enter this deep forest. How dare they go there? They must be tired of living."

Toffee slowed down his pace, sniffing something on the ground from time to time, and the surrounding environment became quiet.

The ground was littered with fallen leaves and the environment was damp and dark.

Cui Ya's hands were shaking with nervousness: "Sister, let's go back!"

Zhao Qiaoniang and Mulan were holding big knives in their hands, and they were also very nervous. Zhao Qiaoniang said, "Don't worry, we will follow the mouse, and there will be no problem."

Cui Ya nodded, not daring to speak. Naitang kept searching and took them for a while. The three of them were pleasantly surprised to find a mountain spring. The water there was almost dry and was only dripping very slowly.

Zhao Qiaoniang quickly took off the more than 30 bamboo tubes on her back and placed them neatly one by one. Mulan and Cui Ya also hurriedly put down the more than 20 bamboo tubes they were carrying.

The mountain spring water dripped extremely slowly, one drop, two drops... every drop that fell seemed like a long wait.

Zhao Qiaoniang said, "You guys stay here and guard. I'll take a look around here."

Mulan said, "Let's not go. Let's get some water and leave right away! I'm always feeling terrified."

Cui Ya also said in a trembling voice:

“Yeah, yeah, I think it’s scary here too.

There might be poisonous snakes here! If we encounter one, we will be in trouble."

Zhao Qiaoniang patted her and said, "It's okay, don't worry, just follow our mouse, there will be absolutely no problem."

This mouse is so smart that it can lead them to water. Maybe it can also lead her to find other things.

The toffee made a "squeaking" sound, as if calling Zhao Qiaoniang, who followed it with a knife in her hand.

Naitang kept sniffing something, but Zhao Qiaoniang was not in a hurry. She now knew how powerful this big rat was.

Naitang took her deeper into the ground. After walking for half an incense stick of time, it stopped and started squeaking.

Zhao Qiaoniang took a look and exclaimed, "Hey!" Another trap appeared.

This trap was larger than any seen before. It was obviously dug by other hunters. Perhaps it had been abandoned due to age or other reasons.

The trap was surrounded by various vines, which were intertwined with each other like a green curtain, covering the trap tightly.

If you don't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that there is such a huge pit hidden here.

Zhao Qiaoniang walked forward carefully and began to clear the vines on the pit.

Her movements were gentle and cautious, for fear of triggering some unknown danger.

As the vines were pushed aside one by one, the scene inside the trap was finally revealed.

There were actually more than a dozen wild rabbits at the bottom of the pit, some huddled in the corners, some jumping restlessly.

The hares have different fur colors, some are gray, and some have some brown spots.

In this closed trap, no one knows how they managed to survive.

What was even more surprising was that there were two wild sheep.

One of them was actually a ewe. It had a relatively agile body and its wool was a little messy, but one could still see its former vitality.

Zhao Qiaoniang called Mulan over directly. Mulan also looked at the pile of wild game with joy: "There are some rabbits that are quite fat. Wow, sister, we are going to get rich again."

Zhao Qiaoniang couldn't stop smiling: "I'll go down and bring them all up. I'm afraid these game can be exchanged for a lot of food."

Mulan said, "I'm just worried that exchanging so much food would make it insecure. It would be such a shame."

There are already several bags of food at home, which is indeed a problem, but the more food the better.

Zhao Qiaoniang said, "Never mind. We'll carry them all to the town and exchange them for food and a few pairs of shoes. It would be best if we could buy some coarse cloth and cotton."

Mulan was so excited: "Oh! I wonder if I can change something?"

"I have to buy some salt. I feel weak without salt." Zhao Qiaoniang said as she climbed down the vines beside her.

After finally reaching the bottom of the pit, the hares were trembling with fear and the two wild sheep were bleating.

Zhao Qiaoniang picked up the hare and put it in a backpack, and Mulan directly carried the backpack up with a rope.

Then she used a rope to lift the wild goat up, and Zhao Qiaoniang climbed up the vine. To be honest, the vine was quite difficult to climb, but it was not difficult for her.

She has loved climbing trees since she was a child, but as she grew up, she didn't climb much anymore.

The two men smiled at each other, and their two backpacks were filled to the brim.

They followed Naitang back to the place where they fetched water, and saw Cui Ya trembling with fear. Looking up, they saw a huge python coiled on a tree not far behind her.
