Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

The six badgers that Xiong Bufan brought back shut Liu Jianping up completely, and he obediently went to Cui Dahai to ask him to help deal with the wild animals.

Cui Dahai got home too late yesterday and didn't deal with the wild boar. This morning, after removing the hair from the boar's head again, Cui Dahai saw the boar's fatal wound.

The wild boar was killed by the falling log. Its head was a bit flat. It was probably just bad luck that Cui Daqiang got lucky and the tree fell while he was cutting it down, hitting the animal.

It's good that Cui Daqiang caught another one today; it just goes to show how lucky he is. Cui Daqiang has always been lucky.

Cui Dahai put the prepared pig's head into the pot, asked his father to watch the fire, packed up his tools, and then followed Liu Jianping to Cui Daqiang's house.

After Xiong Bufan washed his hands, he sunbathed in the yard. Cui Di and Gou'er unloaded the prey from the poles and arranged it neatly, from largest to smallest.

Seeing that there was only Xiong Bufan and two cubs in the yard, Cui Dahai asked, "Auntie, who hunted this?"

"It's sunny and warm. I went out early this morning and just brought these back." Liu Jianping said with considerable pride.

Xiong Bufan, annoyed by the sun, covered his face with a cloth, looking nothing like someone who could catch a badger with his bare hands.

Cui Dahai felt Liu Jianping was lying, "Auntie, it would be too much to handle all at once..."

Liu Jianping asked Xiong Bufan if they could sell some meat. As long as it didn't affect Xiong Bufan's ability to eat meat, everything else was fine. Xiong Bufan nodded.

Cui Dahai was dealing with the badger, and Gou'er was busy helping out beside him. Gou'er looked thin, but he was quick and clever. Cui Dahai glanced at Xiong Bufan and then asked Liu Jianping, "Auntie, whose child is this? He's quite smart."

"Qingnuan was picked up from a human trafficker's den; she's a pitiful child too."

In front of outsiders, it's still necessary to maintain the illusion of harmony at home, otherwise people will laugh at you.

Cui Dahai glanced at Xiong Bufan again; she was still so kind.

Time passed by, and of the six, three were sold by Cui Dahai, two were put in a pot, and one was given to the village chief and Cui Dahai. After all, Cui Dahai's efforts shouldn't be in vain. Cui Dahai happily took half of the bird and left.

The dog touched the badger pelt with its paws. It didn't feel as smooth as dog fur, but it was the first time it had ever seen a complete badger pelt. If it were made into shoes, it wouldn't be cold this winter.

Cui Di took out scissors and secretly tried to cut the badger skin, but he couldn't cut it at all. He could only tie the badger skin with a wooden stick, scrape off the excess oil, and hang it to dry in the yard.

Liu Jianping went to deliver meat to the village chief's house. Xiong Bufan fell asleep in a chair. In his dream, a woman appeared. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the woman looked exactly like An Qingnuan before their marriage. She wore plain clothes, and her hair was simply tied back with a wooden hairpin. Standing in the yard, she looked at Xiong Bufan and the two little cubs, and gently said to Xiong Bufan, "Thank you."

Although Xiong Bufan didn't know why the other party was thanking him, he still waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

Kongkong: "She's thanking you for taking on this mess, avenging her, and keeping everyone alive."

Xiong Bufan felt that An Qingnuan had gone too far in her attempts to seduce him, but she had no evidence. "Why were you in my dream?"

An Qingnuan had left sometime earlier. Cui Di sensed something was wrong, put down his work, and looked at Xiong Bufan, who was sleeping.

An empty voice rang out, "It was the original owner's request; she said she wanted to thank you specifically."

"Oh, so you guys are disturbing my sleep."

Xiong Bufan suddenly opened his eyes and removed the cloth from his face.

The position of the sun indicated that it was noon. It was unclear how much time had passed since then, but Cui Di and Gou'er were still busy in the yard, and Liu Jianping had not yet returned after going out.

Xiong Bufan prepared to move the chair back and lie down on the kang to rest, hoping they would not enter her dream again.

Cui Di ran over with his short legs and hugged Xiong Bufan's leg, "Mom~, I missed you so much."

In the end, Xiong Bufan didn't kick her out; he just gently patted her head. Perhaps there was a connection between mother and daughter.

The dog just stood there watching, unable to describe his feelings. He had no memory of a mother, only Sister Wang telling him again and again, "Nobody wants him, he's a burden."

Kongkong sighed. Although Xiong Bufan was gluttonous, lazy, ruthless, violent, and loved to rob, she was actually a very warm person. That was why she became friends with Xiong Bufan in the first place.

The village chief smiled and took the meat from Liu Jianping, even giving Liu Jianping's hand a light touch. "It would have been troublesome for you to make the trip alone. You could have just had Daqiang deliver it."

Liu Jianping used his stiff fingers to tuck his hair behind his head. "Let me do it. Daqiang still needs to repair the ancestral hall."

When the topic of repairing the ancestral hall came up, the village chief was unsure what Liu Jianping meant. Was he complaining that the punishment was too severe, or was there something else?

"Come in and sit down. Your sister-in-law took Hongfa back to her parents' home. It's so cold outside, have some hot water."

Liu Jianping followed the village chief into the house and closed the door.

Xiong Bufan waited for a long time but Liu Jianping did not come home. Gou'er and Cui Di were at home preparing food. Xiong Bufan followed the smell and wandered to the village chief's door. As a result, he saw the village chief and Liu Jianping going in together.

The village chief's house was some distance from the village. It had the largest yard and the best house in the village. Xiong Bufan jumped over the wall of the village chief's house.

Kongkong advised, "Bufan, go back. Gou'er and the others cook very quickly. Don't disturb their good time."

"What good news? Did they eat something behind my back?"

Kongkong, with a straight face, spouted nonsense, "No, you should go back quickly. I saw the two kids seem to be fighting, and they spilled the lunch I made."

After hearing this, Xiong Bufan climbed over the wall again and ran home as fast as he could. Did he think he was too full? Instead of cooking properly, he started a fight. It was simply unforgivable!

Actually, Cui Di and Gou'er were at home. One was tending the fire, and the other was putting rice in the pot. They were trying their best to cook porridge for Xiong Bufan. There were also two potatoes roasting by the stove, so Xiong Bufan could eat them as soon as he came back.

Xiong Bufan rushed back like a gust of wind. He didn't see anything scattered on the ground, only two children working together to cook. Xiong Bufan knew he had been tricked by Kongkong, but there was nothing he could do. There was no way he could run away again. Xiong Bufan sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and basked in the sun.

Kongkong: "Are you angry?"

"no"

"You're just angry, but I didn't mean to lie to you. Seeing that will affect your luck and your cultivation."

Xiong Bufan: "Okay, I forgive you."

Cui Di came in with two roasted potatoes. "Mom, eat first, the food will be ready soon."

Xiong Bufan took out one and gave it to his two sons, saying, "You two eat some too."

The three of them sat on the edge of the bed eating potatoes. Before long, their lips were all black, and Xiong Bufan's hands were also black. When Cui Di wasn't paying attention, Xiong Bufan wiped the black stuff from his hands onto Cui Di's body, just to clean his own hands.

Cui Di deliberately smeared the black substance in his hand onto Gou'er's face. Gou'er, not to be outdone, smeared it back at him. The two of them burst into laughter at each other's smeared faces. Xiong Bufan didn't understand what was so funny, so he turned around, rubbed his hand with black substance, and smeared it on the two kids' faces again, making their faces even blacker.

"Hahaha, two little black bears."

Tweety retorted, "I'm not a little black bear, I'm my mother's cub."

"I'm a kid too."

Xiong Bufan said he wanted to stay away from them so that his face wouldn't turn black in a little while.

"Three little black bears".

It's a pity that Kongkong can't play with us; she can only hide in the space. Otherwise, Xiong Bufan would definitely smear her face with black. She's a brown bear, not a black bear. Why do people always think she's a black bear?

After the three of them had had their fun, Gou'er and Cui Di went to fetch water to wash their faces, since they couldn't let their faces stay black forever.

Liu Jianping returned from outside with a radiant face, walking briskly and humming a little tune. Xiong Bufan could tell that Liu Jianping was very happy. After returning to the house, Liu Jianping took out a few pieces of candy and some hawthorns from his pocket and gave them to Cui Di and Xiong Bufan. "Eat these to fill your stomachs first, then I'll go cook."

The rice was already in the pot, so Liu Jianping didn't dwell on it and turned to add firewood to another stove to cook the badger meat.

Xiong Bufan said mysteriously to Kongkong, "I bet Liu Jianping has money. There was someone like that in the last world; he always got money after robbing someone. Do you think it would be a good idea for me to rob him?"

For a moment, Kongkong couldn't tell if Xiong Bufan was genuinely stupid or pretending. An old woman selling herself and her daughter-in-law receiving money—Xiong Bufan's thought process was truly despicable. "No way," he said.

"Ok."
