After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Li Qingqing took Dashuang, Xiaoshuang and Xier to the back mountain.

Afraid of encountering snakes in the mountains, Li Qingqing took out medicine from the space and applied some snake repellent on the three of them.

"Sister, what do toon sprouts look like?" Xier asked while holding a basket.

Li Qingqing looked around and found a bush nearby with some toon shoots.

She walked over, picked them up, and showed them to the three children:

"Toona sinensis sprouts are these tender green shoots that have just emerged from the tree. Look, like this. When you pick them, don't break the branches so that they can continue to grow new sprouts."

"I got it, big sister!" Dashuang and Xiaoshuang ran away excitedly, while Xier followed closely behind Li Qingqing with a basket.

Li Qingqing saw Xiaoshuang running towards a Chinese toon tree and warned her, "Be careful, don't fall."

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang followed Li Qingqing's example and carefully picked the toon buds, while Xier helped collect the picked buds into the basket.

With the children joining in, it wasn’t long before there were no more toon shoots left to pick nearby, and the two large baskets they brought out were full.

"Let's go home." Li Qingqing called them and prepared to go home.

After returning home, Li Qingqing carefully sorted the toon shoots and tied them together with string. After saying hello to Zhou Yimo, she went out with the basket.

When she was at a deserted spot on the road, she simply threw the basket into the space.

Before entering Qiu Shui Town, she took out a basket from the space and picked up some small prey in her hands, intending to sell them together later.

There weren't many people selling things at the market today, so there was a vacant space where I could set up a stall.

Since toon sprouts are not very common and some people are not familiar with them, everyone just buys the prey. Now there are only two baskets of toon sprouts that have not been sold.

Li Qingqing was a little anxious, thinking that she was working too hard and it would be better to hunt more prey to sell.

She felt that she was not very good at retail, and the trip back and forth from Lihua Village to the town would take too much time.

Li Qingqing was lost in thought, feeling a bit restless. A woman selling eggs was operating the stall next to her. Seeing Li Qingqing's anxious expression, she asked with concern, "Miss, you haven't sold a single toon sprout?"

Li Qingqing nodded and sighed: "Yes, Auntie, these toon shoots were picked this morning. I didn't expect that no one knew about them and was only busy buying prey."

The old lady smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, although this thing is rare, there are always people who know its value. Wait a little longer and see."

Li Qingqing smiled gratefully at the old lady.

At this time, a woman came to buy eggs. She looked at the toon sprouts curiously, as if recalling something.

Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes:

"Oh, isn't this Chinese toon sprouts? I've eaten them before, and scrambled eggs with Chinese toon sprouts are so delicious! Girl, how much are you selling these Chinese toon sprouts for? I'll buy the whole basket."

Li Qingqing was delighted and quickly quoted a price. One hundred and fifty coins wasn't expensive, so the woman didn't bargain. She paid without hesitation, picked up a few more eggs, and left.

At this time, several women nearby also gathered around and asked what this was and how to fry it.

Li Qingqing patiently explained it to them, and soon, the remaining basket of toon sprouts was sold out.

Li Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She bought some eggs from the lady selling eggs, expressed her gratitude to her, and hurried home.

When I got home, Zhou Yimo was still copying books in the study, and Yun Jing was training Xier and the other two in horse stance.

Da Shuang was very serious, and his horse stance was extremely standard. It seemed that he really wanted to learn how to hunt.

Xiao Shuang barely passed the test. She endured the pain very hard, but her face was serious and she stared straight ahead intently, not losing focus at all.

Li Qingqing nodded secretly. This pair of twins did have the potential to practice martial arts. They were still young, so it was the best time to lay the foundation.

But Xier is exactly the opposite of them.

She felt her legs were a little sore while half squatting, and she stood up involuntarily. Yun Jing took a long branch and hit her calf with it. She was in so much pain that she quickly half squatted down again.

Xier was very angry. What she wanted to learn was kung fu, the kind that could beat away bad guys. She didn't want to squat in a horse stance!

She has never suffered any hardship since she was a child, except for the few days when she was captured by bad guys.

Ke Xier didn't dare to protest. Aunt Zhou had no say, her eldest brother was hiding in the study copying, and her eldest sister hadn't returned yet...

Xier didn't dare to move and tried hard to maintain the horse stance.

When she saw Yun Jing's expressionless face, she felt a little scared. He was only a little older than Brother Zhou, but he had to pretend to be so senior.

He's just her fake father, why does he have to act so strict?

Xier secretly complained in her heart, but on the surface she pursed her lips and dared not say a word. There was a tear in her eye, which was about to fall, and her legs were shaking slightly as she was half squatting.

Seeing her like this, Li Qingqing felt that Xier was able to maintain the half-squatting horse stance, probably entirely due to the anger in her heart towards Yun Jing.

Li Qingqing wanted to laugh, and the anxious mood she had felt when she couldn't sell the toon sprouts in the town was also washed away.

She tiptoed towards the kitchen.

"Big sister!" Xier shouted, her voice was so full of affection that Li Qingqing's body stiffened.

Xier caught a glimpse of Li Qingqing coming back from the corner of her eye, and tears began to flow down her face as if she had met a savior.

But she didn't dare to move! She half-crouched with her neck stiff, her eyes looking forward, her back straight, wanting to stand up but not daring to.

Yun Jing was staring at her expressionlessly!

"Xier, practice well! Big sister will make you some delicious pancakes at noon. You have never eaten them before. They are delicious!" Li Qingqing quickly slipped away.

Xier: ...

Cake? What kind of cake? A cake with a few sesame seeds dotted on a circle?

Oh no,...why did the savior run away?

Li Qingqing completely ignored Xier's call for help. After putting down the firewood, she went straight to the kitchen.

Zhou Yimo made porridge in the morning and left a bowl for her. She was hungry now, so she picked it up and ate it.

While eating, she was thinking about selling toon sprouts in the morning, and decided to continue selling game in the future.

After eating the porridge, Li Qingqing remembered that the two sprouted sweet potatoes were still thrown in the cloth bag last night.

Well, the seeds have to be planted.

Li Qingqing resigned herself to her fate and walked towards the vegetable garden with her hoe.

When I passed by Yun Jing, I found that he seemed to be worried about something.

I wonder if it was because he was being chased before and was hit hard?

Li Qingqing didn't feel comfortable asking, as the emotional trauma would take time to heal, so she asked him to take Xier and the others to practice when he had nothing to do. Maybe they would figure it out.

It just so happens that I don’t have time to teach Xier and the others the basics. If Yun Jing doesn’t have any medical fees to pay, then let him compensate with labor?
