Bai Wanwan laughed out loud. Lexi was overthinking things.

"Don't worry, even if there are no pheasants, there will be other game. We don't have to worry about anything in the mountains.

One for making chicken soup and the other for roasting?"

Bai Wanwan, Zhiwei and Miaohe were searching under the tree.

"Miss, look! Is this a shiitake mushroom?" Zhiwei suddenly stood up holding a round mushroom.

Bai Wanwan walked over to take a look, nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's shiitake mushrooms. They look very fresh."

Soon I had picked half a basket of mushrooms, and soon after I came across a patch of gray oyster mushrooms, clustered together next to an old tree stump.

As the sun was getting higher, Lexi found a flat ground, built a simple stove with a few stones, and placed the pottery jars he brought on it.

She first took out the processed pheasant meat from the backpack and cut it into small pieces. She then took out some oil from the bamboo tube she carried with her and poured it into the pottery pot to simmer it slowly.

When the fat melts and bubbles appear, pour the chicken in and stir-fry until the skin is golden brown, then add mountain spring water, cover with a lid and simmer slowly.

The soup was bubbling, and the rich aroma of pheasant meat mixed with steam wafted out.

When the soup was almost done, Lexi threw in the washed shiitake mushrooms and gray oyster mushrooms, and sprinkled in a handful of freshly picked wild shepherd's purse.

The clay pot was big enough, with plump mushrooms and tender green vegetables floating in the soup, and the aroma was so strong that it couldn't be dissolved.

Chuyi took a big sip from the coarse porcelain bowl and smacked his lips, saying, "I haven't had such delicious pheasant soup in a long time. I last tasted it in the mountains a few years ago."

Chu Er nodded and stuffed shepherd's purse into his mouth, mumbling: "Yes, this soup is so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue."

Bai Wanwan smiled and said, "Then you will have to work hard on hunting this afternoon. You have the final say on what we eat tonight."

Chu Er chuckled and said, "That's just a matter of words. I'm going to hunt a wild boar tonight."

Tao Yao chuckled and said, "I think the wild boar is more likely to beat you."

Chu Er scratched his head and looked at Tao Yao with a red face.

Bai Wanwan drank two large bowls of chicken soup and ate a roasted chicken leg. She was so full that she could hardly walk.

"Let's see if there are any medicinal herbs here?" She just likes to dig medicinal herbs.

Suddenly, she saw Custard Bun running over from not far away. Bai Wanwan blinked and said, "Custard Bun, why are you here?"

Not only custard buns, milk candies, pacifiers and milk tea are here.

Milk tea gurgled, "Why didn't you ask us to come with you when you went into the mountains? There's also the smell of roasted chicken, so fragrant!"

Bai Wanwan looked at the pile of chicken bones on the ground and said, "Uh...we've finished eating them, but if you guys want some, we can catch a few more later."

She didn't expect these guys to come! She looked at the ones behind the pacifier, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

The babies who were fed with pacifiers have grown up too. They can eat a lot every day and are super hungry.

As soon as the pacifier's second child saw her, he rushed over and rubbed against her.

Bai Wanwan pinched it gently and said, "Erbao, long time no see!"

"Awoo, awoo, awoo, awoo..." Erbao looked at her with a face full of grievance.

Milk tea laughed "hahaha": "The little guy likes to stick to you and asks you to take it with you wherever you go."

Bai Wanwan sighed. The second baby was in poor health when he was born, and it was she who took care of him. Now he looks quite strong.

With the pacifier, Bai Wanwan felt more comfortable, and hunting became a piece of cake.

In the afternoon, Bai Wanwan saw a river and immediately made five or six traps, put some chicken offal in them and said, "We'll have fish to eat tonight. The fish in these mountains must be very fresh."

Bai Wanwan was doing very well in the mountains, but the Lin family was in a state of worry.

Old Lady Lin snorted coldly and said:

“I originally thought that I could get the house she owned after I brought back this money-losing item.

Now she has nothing, and we still have to support her. It’s so annoying.”

Sun Mei rolled her eyes in anger. "That's right! My family spent over 3000 taels of silver early on. Why should I spend so much on her?"

Lin Zao Zao frowned and said, "Why do I feel like I haven't seen her all day today?"

"Who knows! It seems someone saw them going into the mountains. It would be best if they were eaten by big beasts, so that they won't be upset when they come back." Old Mrs. Lin shouted.

Lin Zao Zao looked at Lin Dasheng and said, "Second Uncle, do you want to go look for her in the mountains? She's just a little girl. It would be bad if something happened to her in the mountains."

Lin Dasheng sneered and said, "Zao Zao, if only she were as obedient and kind as you, let her go. If she really feeds the big insect, that's her fate, she deserves it!"

Lin Dasheng really didn't like Bai Wanwan at all. Lin Zao Zao smiled and said, "Okay! Then let's wait a little longer! But if she is really bitten to death, I'm afraid those people in the Bai family won't be able to bear it."

Sun Mei sneered and said:

“If this girl is really bitten to death, then we will go to the Bai family and ask for a share of her property.

Dasheng is her biological father, why can't they separate?"

Sun Xing nodded and said:

"You are quite right. It is in Volume 17 of the Great Qi Code, chapter on marriage and inheritance.

Article 1: When any child dies, regardless of whether he or she is a legitimate child, all the land, houses, shops, gold, silver, valuables and rewards under his or her name during his or her lifetime shall be divided equally among his or her parents if there is no posthumous child.

Land deeds and certificates must be verified by the county magistrate, stamped with the official seal and renamed within half a month. Failure to do so will result in twenty lashes.

Everyone in the Lin family's eyes lit up. Lin Zao Zao nodded and said, "Then let's wait. If she doesn't come back, we'll go and confess to Bai Qiao Niang."

The Lin family had discussed everything, and Bai Wanwan was having a great time in the mountains.

"Pacifier, slow down...slow down..." Pacifier's speed was too fast. Bai Wanwan sat on it and grabbed its fur.

Milk tea was flying in the sky: "There are a group of wild boars ahead..."

As he was speaking, he saw a dozen wild boars not far away, looking for food in the woods.

Seeing this, Bai Wanwan lowered her head and said to the pacifier, "Come on, let's eat wild boar meat tonight."

When the pacifier heard this, he immediately grinned. The little tigers around him also became excited, and their little bodies were tensed.

Not long after, seven or eight big tigers rushed towards the wild boars.

They ran so fast that they were in front of us in the blink of an eye.

Then there was a chaotic noise, the grunting of wild boars and the growling of tigers mixed together.

However, the scene did not last long, as the big tigers came back dragging two particularly large wild boars.

Bai Wanwan grinned and said:

"Alright! Two wild boars are enough. Let's have a wild boar feast tonight.

If you can’t finish the food, you can send some back.”

Two wild boars lay on the bluestone slabs by the river, their fangs standing out and their fur thick and hard.

Fortunately, Chuyi and Chuer were nimble and their daggers could cut through iron like mud, making it easy for them to deal with the thick skin of the wild boar.

Each of the two men held down one head, and as they raised and lowered the dagger, they first cut the tendons, then cut the skin and flesh along the texture, and in a short time they had skinned the whole wild boar clean.

Chuyi shook his head helplessly and said, "I didn't expect that this dagger would be used to kill a pig for the first time."

Chu Er chuckled and said, "Okay, let's be quick. We'll have something delicious to eat in the evening. It's great to be with the young lady. We can eat meat every meal."
