The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

The next day, it was still daybreak, the bonfire in the middle was still glowing red, and the early birds were already standing on the nearby tree branches and chirping.

At this time, many people have woken up, and because they had eaten a full meal yesterday, they are all full of energy.

After borrowing an axe from the Yun family, I prepared to go out and chop down trees. The first step here was of course to build a room of my own.

The furs placed by the campfire yesterday had all dried up, and they tacitly gave them to the Yun family.

This place is really beautiful with mountains and rivers. Because it is far away from human habitation, there are many small animals here that have not been hunted. There are even many small fish in the stream.

It is obvious that we will not go hungry during this period.

Early in the morning, everyone's face was filled with smiles, and the men went to cut down the trees nearby.

The thing that is most abundant here is trees.

Many people built their homes step by step by themselves, so it is not difficult for them to build a house again, especially when they have everything they need.

The women stayed behind and worked on the foundation with the shovels they brought.

As for the children, they were either playing around, shooting birds from above with slingshots, or collecting firewood like they did yesterday.

Yun Zhi saw that each of them had a smile on their face, and she no longer felt the nervousness and fear she had when they first met.

Human adaptability is indeed one of the strongest among all species.

She walked over to Yun's father who was chopping a tree and pointed upwards, "Dad, let me go up and take a look."

Father Yun looked in the direction she pointed. It wasn't too far away and could be seen from here, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Meimei, be careful when you go up."

"okay."

Hearing Yun Zhi's words, Yun Jingxian stopped chopping the tree and looked at her, "Sister, do you want me to go with you?"

Yun Zhi shook her head gently, "No, I'll just go up and take a look."

Yun Jingxian scratched his head and chuckled at Yun Zhi, "Okay then. If you run into danger, just call me from up there."

"it is good."

Zhou Yifeng didn't ask. With her current martial arts skills, there would be no danger as long as she didn't encounter any large animals.

Besides, she has her own plans.

Seeing Yun Zhi about to go up, Lin Huixin hurriedly called out to her, "Miemei, take this water bag. It will be good to drink when you get thirsty later."

Yun Zhi took it and said, "Thank you, mother."

This water comes from a pit dug next to the stream. The water that slowly seeps out looks exceptionally clear.

After hanging the water bag around his waist, Yun Zhi picked up a straight branch.

Listening to the sound of tree cutting nearby, I headed towards the mountain.

Many hunters near this mountain have never been to such a deep place, so there is naturally no road ahead.

Looking at the overgrown road in front of her, Yun Zhi picked up the branch in her hand and pushed them to both sides.

Just walk slowly upwards. It seems not far from below, but it is actually still a long distance.

Startled by the sound of Yunzhi stirring the grass, several rabbits or pheasants fled in panic.

Looking at the escaped rabbits, Yun Zhi noted down their locations so that she could catch them and raise them later.

Especially animals like rabbits, they reproduce the fastest. There is water and food here, so it is really suitable for living.

As Yunzhi walked up, surprise flashed in her eyes. She actually saw ephedra, perilla, which are used to treat colds, as well as Imperata root, Sanguisorba officinalis, and Saposhnikovia divaricata, which are used to stop bleeding and relieve pain, among these weeds.

This is really a pleasant surprise. I was worried that I wouldn’t have these, so I asked Yun Jingxian to prepare those medicines.

There is no need to worry now.

After about half an hour, Yun Zhi finally climbed to a high place.

Facing the morning breeze, Yun Zhi looked into the distance. Just as she had expected, standing here she could see people coming from the distance on both sides.

After seeing people, there is plenty of time to go down from here.

After all, Yun Zhi had planned to rob the rich when he chose this position.

After confirming it, Yun Zhi slowly walked down the same way she came.

When I came down, those people were still busy.

The sun gradually rose higher and soon it was noon. Everyone stopped what they were doing and went to the mountains to catch rabbits and pheasants, or to the stream to catch fish.

Soon, piles of fires were lit in the dense forest, and from today on they would eat separately.

Everyone sat on the ground, eating the meat in their hands with big mouthfuls, with happy smiles on their faces.

Before, I only ate two meals a day at home, lunch and dinner. I had a better lunch, with some porridge and steamed buns. In the evening, I just made do with some casual meals, picking some vegetable leaves and mixing them with rice to make porridge.

It’s called porridge, but the total amount of rice cooked by the whole family in a day is only a handful.

All the game that is hunted must be sold, so that we can eat better during the Chinese New Year.

I've only been here for two days and I've already eaten meat twice.

The Lin family was better off than them. After all, their ancestors had been rich and had a relatively large blacksmith shop, so at least they could have enough to eat every day.

But they couldn’t eat meat every day, so the people from the Lin family were no different from them, and they all ate as much as they could, especially the children.

Yun Zhi saw that those who ate quickly were ready to continue working.

He stood up quickly and said, "Everyone wait a moment."

Hearing Yun Zhi's voice, those who were about to continue working stopped.

Even those who were still eating meat stopped, wiped their mouths, and looked at Yun Zhi.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Yun Zhi pointed upwards and said, "Everyone who came here should have seen that there are a lot of prey here."

Having said this, Yun Zhi paused, looking at the joy on the faces of the people around her, and continued, "We can keep these prey in captivity. With their reproductive capacity, our future will surely get better and better."

In this area alone, Yun Zhi estimated that there were hundreds of rabbits, many pheasants, and even wild boars.

"As for how many you can catch, it depends on you."

As soon as these words were spoken, words of gratitude rang out all around.

"Alas, we all understand. Thank you very much, Miss Yun, for this trip."

"Yes, my son just said that life is much better now than before."

"Hey, who says it isn't?"

Yun Zhi smiled softly, "Well, everyone go get busy."

After seeing these people leave, Yun Zhi walked up to Yun's father and glanced at the three members of the Li family who were still eating. "Dad, I saw Uncle Fugui coughing all night last night. We have some cold medicine, can you give some to him?"

Appropriate small favors may gain the other party's gratitude, especially at this time.

"Eh, okay."

Yun Youde stuffed the last bite into his mouth, wiped his hands and mouth, and stood up from the ground.

He took out the medicine from the simple tent built by the Yun family and walked towards Li Fugui.

The food that the Yun family brought was left there untouched. Firstly, it was not tasty in front of these people, and secondly, there was no pot to cook.

Just like today, many people still roast it to eat, while some people use stones to carve a stone pot to cook soup.

It must be mentioned that in addition to many wild vegetables, there are also many mushrooms here. It is really delicious to make soup with those mushrooms and add some salt.

Now we just have to wait until we are temporarily settled down, and then take some people to exchange with people in the village near the foot of the mountain.

On the other side, Yun Youde walked up to Li Fugui carrying the medicine.

Seeing Yun Youde coming, Li Fugui and his son Li Shun, who were about to go about their work, stopped.

He greeted him with a smile, "Hey, Brother Youde, why are you here?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your cold hasn't healed yet. The most important thing right now is your health. If Meimei hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed. This is the medicine Meimei asked you to prepare. Ask your wife to make it for you."

Because Yun Youde got married late, his son is a few years younger than Li Shun, but in terms of age, he is one or two years older than Li Fugui.

Li Fugui glanced at Yun Zhi who was talking to Yun Jingxian over there, and took the medicine from him. "Thank you so much, I will accept it without hesitation."

On the other side, Yun Jingxian asked Yun Zhi what she was going to eat.

He touched his bow and arrow beside him and said, "Sister, there are a lot of prey here. What do you want to eat tonight? I will hunt for you."

It was just as Yun Zhi said. Yun Jingxian had only been practicing archery for half a year and was already as good as those experienced hunters.

Most of the prey he targeted could not escape his arrows.

"Then let's hunt a pheasant and have chicken and mushroom dumplings for dinner."

"Okay, just wait."

But plans can never keep up with changes.

Originally, Yun Zhi wanted to go over and help, but her parents and brother waved her away and told her to play with the other kids.

Helplessly, Yun Zhi could only practice sword skills on the side.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

There was a commotion ahead, with the crowd exclaiming, panicking, and shouting loudly.

Yun Zhi took the sword in his hand and rushed over quickly. When he saw what was in front of him, his pupils dilated slightly.

I saw in front of me...
