Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

The night fell, and everything around was dark and silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the woods, making a rustling sound.

Jiang Yu was like a ghost in the dark night, quietly sneaking into the forest.

He scanned the surroundings sharply, and when he noticed a slight noise, he immediately became alert. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a hare poking its head out from behind a bush, looking for food.

"It seems like today's luck is pretty good..."

Jiang Yu muttered to himself, stretched out his right hand to the big knife behind him, placed his fingers lightly on the hilt, and approached the hare at an extremely slow speed.

Land on the soles of your feet first, shift your center of gravity, and avoid stepping on dead branches and leaves that would expose your whereabouts.

Lean forward slightly, bend your knees slightly, and make your body as low as possible to reduce the shadow area under the moonlight.

When he was only a few steps away from the hare, Jiang Yu stopped, took a deep breath, and adjusted his state.

Then, he exploded like a flash of black lightning, pushed the ground hard with his right foot, and lunged forward, while his right hand quickly drew the sword from its sheath.

Sensing the approaching danger, the hare tried to flee in terror, but Jiang Yu was too fast. He turned sideways in the air and swept down with his sword.

The hare tried desperately to dodge to the side, but Jiang Yu had anticipated it. His left foot tapped the ground lightly the moment it landed, and he used the force to turn his body. The broadsword changed from a horizontal slash to a downward slash, and fell straight towards the hare with a tremendous force.

The knife hit the ground next to the hare accurately, splashing up a cloud of dust. The hare was frightened and trembled, unable to move.

Jiang Yu took a step forward, quickly stretched out his left hand, grabbed the hare's neck and lifted it up.

"Killing people with a broadsword is quite convenient, but catching rabbits is a bit more troublesome. It would be much better if I had a bow and arrow. I wouldn't have to spend so much effort and could hit the target from a distance."

"There's rabbit meat to eat, hehe~"

Jiang Yu was in a very good mood at the moment, humming a little tune as he headed towards the dilapidated temple.

……

"Here comes the hare—"

On the way back, Jiang Yu passed by a stream and specially prepared the rabbit before bringing it back.

"Leave it to me, you sit there and rest for a while." Cheng Yuntao hurried forward and took the hare.

This hare is of very good quality, with a slender body, four legs stretched straight, and leg muscles that are tight and elastic.

Even when it is still, it is not difficult to imagine its agile figure running and jumping in the grass when it was alive.

The most amazing thing is the technique of slaughtering the rabbit. The rabbit is skinned very cleanly, and the whole body has a pink and shiny color. The muscle texture is clearly visible and distinct.

The abdomen was flat and smooth, without a trace of remaining fur or impurities. The internal organs had long been carefully removed, leaving only pure flesh and skeleton.

Cheng Yuntao had reason to suspect that Jiang Yu was a complete obsessive-compulsive disorder and liked to do things meticulously.

"Miss Yuntao, what do you think of this hare? Is it fat enough?" Jiang Yu was obviously very satisfied with the prey he had caught, and raised his chin with some pride.

You need to think twice before you speak slanderous words, but the more praise you give, the better. Besides, this rabbit is indeed very good, so Cheng Yuntao naturally would not be stingy with her words of praise.

"This rabbit is excellent, the meat is tender, and its legs are extra firm from frequent running and jumping. Even more remarkable is the lack of any visible scars on its surface. I imagine Young Master Jiang must have captured it alive, right?"

Jiang Yu snapped his fingers, his admiration for Cheng Yuntao growing even stronger: "Miss Yuntao is indeed an expert! She has a keen eye!"

"Okay, sit down and rest for a while. I'll cook the rabbit for you." Cheng Yuntao smiled, picked up the rabbit leg and returned to the pot that had been placed.

After working for a long time, Jiang Yu was indeed a little tired. He put down his sword and was about to lean against the wall to rest. Before he closed his eyes completely, he caught a glimpse of a small figure slowly approaching him from the corner of his eye.

His steps were light and hesitant, and he seemed to hesitate in his mind with every step, as if he was afraid of disturbing himself.

From time to time, she would secretly raise her eyes to take a look, then quickly lower them shyly, her lips slightly pursed. Finally, when she was a few steps away from the person, she stopped and stood there, feeling uneasy, as if she was brewing in her heart, not knowing how to start.

"Kid, looking for me?" Jiang Yu opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and asked with some confusion.

He silently looked at Cheng Jingzhu standing in front of him, and sighed in his heart that these siblings really looked alike.

Especially between the eyebrows, the eyes are clear and bright, just like stars falling into autumn water. The charm is fully revealed in the movement of the eyes, and the look of radiance is exactly the same.

He also had brothers and sisters, but they didn't have the same mother as him, so naturally they didn't look that much like him. Thinking of the bad people and things in his family, Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel less stressed.

Cheng Jingzhu felt his mood change and became even more uneasy. The words that were about to come out of his mouth were muffled and swallowed back into his stomach.

"Don't be afraid, just tell me what's going on."

Perhaps Jiang Yu also realized that his aura was a bit intimidating when he remained silent, so he softened his tone and spoke in a rather friendly manner.

He likes beautiful things and beautiful people. Since the child is well-behaved, he naturally has more patience with him.

Seeing that Jiang Yu's mood was a little better, Cheng Jingzhu mustered up his courage again, took a few steps forward, and with a bang, he knelt directly on the ground.

This posture startled Jiang Yu. He was a little slow to react, but he couldn't help but sit up straighter: "You...what are you doing?"

"Brother Jiang, can you... accept me as your apprentice?" Cheng Jingzhu closed his eyes, lowered his head to the ground, and bowed deeply to Jiang Yu.

"Accepting a disciple?!" Jiang Yu had indeed not thought about it in this way, and immediately said in surprise.

"That's right! Can you take me as your apprentice?"

"I just saw it secretly. Brother Jiang's martial arts are very powerful. He drove away the bad guys with just a few moves."

"I also want to learn martial arts so that I can protect my family in the future!"

After expressing his inner thoughts, Cheng Jingzhu changed his original shyness and his tone became much more excited.

"You said that you wanted to learn martial arts to protect your family?" Jiang Yu changed his previous unruly look and his expression became a little serious.

Looking at the tall figure standing in front of him, Cheng Jingzhu swallowed nervously, but his thoughts did not waver at all, and he answered firmly.

"Yes! I want to learn martial arts to protect my family! Please, Brother Jiang, accept me!"
