After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

After Zhou the matchmaker left, Zhou Yimo walked into the kitchen and continued to light the fire in the stove, and told Li Qingqing about the banquet for the villagers at noon the next day.

Li Qingqing poured the processed fir mushrooms into the pot and stewed them with the pheasant while discussing with Zhou Yimo.

She planned to go hunting in the mountains after lunch, not come back at night, and return home tomorrow afternoon.

"This is absolutely not possible. It's too dangerous!" Zhou Yimo disagreed, frowning.

The lady is gentle, pretty, thin and weak. If she goes into the mountains and encounters ferocious wild beasts, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhou Yimo began to imagine the thrilling scene of his wife being attacked by a wild beast.

"It's alright, I'm just hunting some wild animals. I'll be home tomorrow afternoon. Don't you know my skills?"

Li Qingqing took out a bowl from the cupboard and filled it with the porridge that Zhou Yimo had cooked earlier.

She glanced at Zhou Yimo. His thin face was very pleasing to the eye in the light of the stove fire, but at this moment it was full of worry.

Li Qingqing had no choice but to continue explaining:

"This banquet is not only our wedding banquet, but also the recognition banquet for the adopted daughter of the Zhou family. If it is not sumptuous, I am afraid that the people in the village will laugh at us."

In fact, it was also to prevent Zhang from causing trouble for Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang in the future.

If Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang become capable in the future, there is no guarantee that Zhang will not come to them.

As long as everyone in the village knew that Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang were now daughters of the Zhou family, Zhang would no longer be able to use filial piety to pressure them.

If we don't publicize the family reunion banquet now, there will always be people who don't know the truth and will be led astray by Zhang in the future.

It is always better to prevent future troubles.

Li Qingqing glanced at Zhou Yimo, who was burning a fire across from the stove. Seeing that he was worried and there was still a trace of uneasiness between his brows, she had no choice but to continue:

"Don't worry, I value my life very much and won't take risks to do anything beyond my ability. It's just hunting some small prey, there's no danger."

"Ok."

Zhou Yimo looked at the pheasant that was stewing in the pot with a gurgling sound. It was now cooked thoroughly and smelled fragrant, mixed with the unique and rich fragrance of fir mushrooms. It was really tempting.

Well... with my lady's skills, if I hunt these small prey... there is really no danger.

Zhou Yimo turned down the fire in the stove and said:

"You must promise me that if you encounter any danger, you will come back immediately and not act recklessly."

"I will!" Li Qingqing smiled and said:

"After lunch, go to town and buy some rice, flour, and cooking oil. Don't buy any other vegetables yet. Remember to rent a bullock cart and bring it back."

"Okay!" Zhou Yimo agreed.

I added in my mind: I will never go to town to eat noodles again!

Everyone enjoyed the pheasant stewed with fir mushrooms at noon.

At the dinner table, Li Qingqing told Dashuang and Xiaoshuang that their task for the next two days was to take Xier to pull weeds in the vegetable garden at the back.

He also mentioned that he was going hunting.

Zhou's mother was very worried, but Li Qingqing repeatedly assured her that everything was fine, so she could not persuade her anymore and could only accept it silently.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang thought that their elder sister would definitely bring back some delicious food, so they happily agreed.

Xier had never pulled weeds before and found it very novel. When Li Qingqing promised to bring back some delicious food, she quickly agreed.

After lunch, while Zhou Yimo went to wash the dishes, Li Qingqing secretly moved the firewood in the space to the woodshed.

Although this space is a bit useless, it seems to have some uses, such as storage?

He left a few taels of silver for Zhou Yimo and set off.

In fact, Li Qingqing’s plan this time was not just to hunt some small prey as Zhou Yimo thought.

She roughly estimated that there were more than fifty households in Lihua Village, with a population of nearly four hundred. Not counting Zhou's family and the cook's help in the kitchen, if only two people came from each household, there would be nearly a hundred people.

There were only a few taels of silver in the family, which was used to buy rice and oil, and to pay the cook's wages. The remaining money could only be used to buy some vegetables and tofu as ingredients.

Although there was a wild roe deer, several small prey, and dozens of kilograms of fir mushrooms in the space, the quantity was not large, and Li Qingqing had no intention of using them as ingredients for the banquet.

I plan to keep the wild roe deer and fir mushrooms and sell them to restaurants. These two are rare and can be sold at a high price.

So she had to hunt a wild boar.

If you want to hunt wild boars, you have to go deep into the mountains.

However, the forest was too large and it was not certain that the prey could be found quickly. Li Qingqing had no choice but to speed up her pace and head deep into the mountains without wasting any time.

The sunlight shines through the dense leaves, casting some mottled light and shadows on the ground.

A thick layer of leaves has accumulated on the ground over the years, and stepping on them makes a slight rustling sound, which seems to add an eerie sound effect to this silent forest.

When Li Qingqing arrived here, she was already standing deep in the mountains.

It's very dangerous here, and she has never dared to come in before.

At this moment, she had already covered herself with herbal juice to repel snakes and insects, just like she did every time she went into the mountains.

Li Qingqing took out the long knife from the space. She walked forward vigilantly, paying attention to the sounds around her and looking for prey.

There are indeed many more prey here than outside the mountains.

Relying on the space, she would kill any prey she saw, no matter how big or small, with stones or a long knife, and then put it into the space.

Sometimes, even when she encountered larger dead branches, she would pick them up and throw them into the space without hesitation.

The main goal is to never let go of anyone who passes by.

But after wandering around for an entire afternoon, she did catch a lot of small prey, but still didn't encounter the wild boar she wanted.

As night falls, the temperature around gradually becomes chilly.

While she could still see the surroundings clearly, Li Qingqing continued to move forward, looking for prey.

Since everyone is here, we can fight as much as we can, and it won’t be wasted if we throw it into the space.

All you have to take out is food!

If someone else came to this forest, they would have to find a place to stay at this time.

But she doesn't need that. When she's tired at night, she just hides in the space and sleeps. No danger can threaten her.

Well, when I make some money, I must put a bed in the space.

Li Qingqing thought while listening to the sounds around her.

It was getting darker and darker, and it was almost impossible to see the scenery in the distance.

Suddenly, Li Qingqing stopped and smelled an almost imperceptible fishy odor.

She frowned slightly. What is this... ?

Li Qingqing looked around, following the fishy smell carried by the wind, she vaguely saw a blurry large black shadow in front of her left, slowly moving towards this side.

Could it be a wild boar?

Li Qingqing gripped the long knife tightly and approached gently.

As the distance shortened, the fishy smell became stronger, almost making her nauseous.

When she got closer, Li Qingqing realized that it was actually a big black bear looking for food!

When their eyes met, Li Qingqing felt as if the air around them seemed to freeze.

Her mind quickly judged the feasibility of the hunt.

Although she is good at martial arts, if she had her heavy weapon in her hand, she would have a good chance of winning.

But now she only had a long knife in her hand. Although the knife was sharp, she was not sure whether it could cut through the black bear's body.

Li Qingqing took a deep breath and began to slowly back away.

The black bear seemed to see through her intention and approached with heavy steps.

It let out a low growl, as if in warning.

Flee? Or fight?

Li Qingqing made up her mind, no matter what! Let's fight!

The black bear's eyes are locked on me, where else can I escape?
