The further you go in, the dimmer the light becomes. You can even smell a hint of moisture and the fragrance of leaves, but it can't cover up the fishy smell of feces.

Yun Zhenzhen carefully searched the grass for traces of animals.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, a hint of gray came into view. Yun Zhenzhen subconsciously slowed down her pace and looked intently.

I saw a fat pheasant squatting on the ground a few meters away, apparently building a nest.

It's meat! Yun Zhenzhen's throat moved, and her saliva began to flow unconsciously. Her nose seemed to have already smelled the aroma of meat. She was not looking at the pheasant, but at the spicy chicken cubes, the spicy fried chicken, the pepper and sesame chicken shreds...

She couldn't help but start estimating the distance and the probability of hitting it with an axe.

After groping for a while, Yun Zhenzhen quickly threw the hatchet in her hand without any hesitation.

Perhaps he was not familiar with his own strength and accidentally used too much force, directly chopping off the pheasant's head. The pheasant died before it could even flap its wings a few times.

Qin Li on the side opened his mouth wide. When did his stepmother learn this skill? When he looked at her again, there was a bit more seriousness in his eyes.

"Haha, I'm a sharpshooter..." Yun Zhenzhen hurried over and looked at the blood-stained pheasant on the ground, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

After picking up the pheasant, her eyes widened. In the chicken coop was a pile of pheasant eggs. After counting carefully, there were five in total. Yun Zhenzhen couldn't help swallowing her saliva and carefully took out the eggs and put them in the backpack.

Now we have both meat and eggs. I’m drooling with happiness just thinking about it.

Qin Li, who was standing beside him, also had his eyes shining with excitement. Then he thought of something, and while helping to clean up, he took advantage of Yun Zhenzhen's inattention and secretly put one on his body.

Yun Zhenzhen noticed it, but didn't point it out.

Tie the pheasant with vines and put it in the backpack. Cover it with a layer of wild vegetables on the top and bottom. Make sure it cannot be seen before putting it back on the backpack. After all, wealth should not be exposed.

Just as she was about to get up, she caught a glimpse of a little tit with colorful feathers, staring at her with its head tilted.

Before Yun Zhenzhen could move, she saw the little tit jump twice quickly, jump far away, and start pecking at a pile of leaves, instantly shattering her idea of ​​having a snack. It was running very fast.

Yun Zhenzhen followed the tit's gaze with regret, and when she saw the leaf it was pecking at, a sense of familiarity came over her.

She didn't care about Qin Li behind her, and quickly ran to the leaf and started digging the soil. When a red fruit as big as a fist emerged from the soil, Yun Zhenzhen's eyes lit up with excitement.

This is truly a treasure trove. Yun Zhenzhen was secretly excited and continued digging without taking a break.

Seeing his stepmother's anxious look, Qin Li hurriedly followed her. After seeing what she was holding in her hand, he couldn't help but be speechless.

It's just a beet, is it worth getting so excited about? She's like a woman who has never been to a mountain.

The leaves of the Chinese shallot are plump and can be used to make Chinese shallot soup, which tastes much better than wild vegetables. The part of the Chinese shallot buried underneath can also be eaten, so it can be said that the whole plant is a treasure.

Fortunately, the quantity is large, enough for the family to eat for a few days, and my brother and sister-in-law don’t have to go hungry every day. Thinking of this, Qin Li felt complicated.

But Yun Zhenzhen had completely different thoughts. The vegetable could fill the stomach, and more importantly, it could be used to make sugar.

This was discovered in modern times, and she was sure that no one in this era would use this to make sugar.

You have to know that no matter which dynasty it is, sugar is very precious. If it can be made successfully, it will provide this poor family with another way to make money.

After digging the sedge, the sky began to darken. Qin Li looked at the full basket, and he was a little stunned. What kind of luck did this woman have? She had harvested more in half a day of climbing the mountain than he had in four or five days before.

If Yun Zhenzhen knew what he was thinking, she would probably reply, "There's no luck, it's all strength!"

After packing up their things, the two began to work together to organize the things to take down the mountain.

The basket on Qin Li's back was filled with plums, pheasants, eggs and vegetables harvested today.

Yun Zhenzhen took the bag from Qin Li's hand, but did not open it to see what was inside. She simply put it on her back with a vine connecting it with various tools.

The journey down the mountain takes nearly half an hour. If everything goes well, we can arrive before dark.

On the way back to the village, I met many people from the same village. Since I had a bad temper and was not very popular, there was no need for me to communicate with them.

Just after walking out of the forest and before reaching the village entrance, Yun Zhenzhen saw a group of people gathered in the distance. The crying and shouting of children mixed together, and a strong sense of unease emerged in her heart.

After putting away her belongings, Yun Zhenzhen immediately ran over, pushing through the crowd, and was furious at the scene before her.

In the center of the crowd, Qin Wen was grabbed by his clothes by a fierce-looking old woman, and there was a clear slap mark on his face.

There were many people watching around, and some tried to persuade her, but were scolded by the old woman.

On the other side, Qin Nan was begging beside his brother: "Don't hit me... Don't hit my brother..." But he was pushed to the ground by the old woman.

"You little losers, you dare to scold me? Tell me where my daughter is. If you don't tell me, I will beat you to death..."

After saying that, he raised his hand and was about to hit.

Yun Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly turned red, and a nameless anger burned in her heart. She ran over and kicked the old woman to the ground with a whirlwind kick.

Qin Li, who was behind him, also rushed in immediately, holding his sister-in-law tightly in his arms, and kept saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big brother is here."

"Oh, who the hell dares to kick me? I'll skin you alive..." Yun Zhenzhen then realized that the old woman was her original mother, Old Lady Yun.

When the two brothers saw Yun Zhenzhen kick Old Lady Yun away with one kick, they couldn't hide the shock in their eyes.

Although the original person was lazy, sarcastic, selfish and had a bad temper, he was extremely filial to his mother's family. All the good things in the house were taken away by this woman. He usually didn't even dare to speak loudly, let alone fight.

Seeing what was happening before their eyes, the three Qin Li brothers and sisters were stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes and were filled with doubts.

Could it be that the stepmother has really changed for the better and come to terms with things?
