Ji Yunshuang didn't take the man's indifference seriously.

She put the book away and carefully began to flip through it.

This is a handwritten book left by his grandfather.

Besides recording some unique recipes, it also contains some personal notes. To make them easier to identify, he also provided illustrations for some of the herbs.

Because of the elderly person's habits, many words in the book are in traditional Chinese characters. You don't need to worry about the font not being compatible with modern writing styles.

Unfortunately, she was only seven or eight years old when her grandfather passed away in her previous life, and she was unable to inherit his mantle.

A large part of the reason she later decided to study traditional Chinese medicine was influenced by him.

But what I never expected was that I would later encounter the apocalypse.

Now, she finally has the opportunity to properly read this book and continue her last wish from her previous life, and she is very satisfied.

Ji Yunshuang flipped through the book for a while with a sense of nostalgia, then put it away and continued searching for mountain products.

Although she knew she had transmigrated and there would be no more apocalypse.

The things in her space are enough for her to eat for many years.

But she remained uneasy; she had a morbid obsession with hoarding things.

She knew that this was the psychological trauma she had suffered from the ten years since the apocalypse.

She followed her heart almost without hesitation. After all, stockpiling supplies was always a good thing.

This time, she actually found a large hickory tree in the mountains. She was overjoyed and put all the hickory nuts from the tree into her spatial storage.

Besides the hickory nuts, she also caught a pheasant and a roe deer. However, she didn't take these things out when she returned to the cave that night.

She only took some wild fruits that were easy to find in the mountains.

Seeing that Ji Yunshuang had returned from the mountains without carrying a pheasant or a bag of rice, Liu and Ma breathed a sigh of relief.

The two ran back to the cave and realized that what was hanging from the tree was not a female ghost, but that bitch Ji Yunshuang.

Although they understood, they dared not go into the mountains as the sky outside gradually darkened.

When Ji Yunshuang returned, the two wanted to confront her. However, following someone was not a respectable act.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stared at Ji Yunshuang like inflated frogs, but ultimately said nothing.

When Ji Yunshuang returned to the cave, Gu had already stewed the remaining pheasant.

However, Ji Yunshuang didn't keep an eye on things. She didn't want to use any more rice. Instead, she peeled all the wild chestnuts that Ji Yunshuang had picked up in the cave that day and put them in a pot with the pheasant and the ginseng left over from lunch to cook together.

Even without rice, the chicken with chestnuts was still very delicious.

The family gathered around the pot and enjoyed a happy meal.

After the meal, Ji Yunshuang shared the wild fruits with everyone.

The mountains are full of wild fruits in autumn, including loquat, akebia quinata, wild hawthorn, jujube, sorghum berries, wild kiwifruit, and more...

Ji Yunshuang picked out two softer wild kiwis and handed them to Lu Yunzhu and Lu Yanqi, saying, "You should eat some too. Eating fruit will help you recover faster."

"Thank you, Mother!" Lu Yunzhu took it, peeled it, but didn't eat it herself. Instead, she fed it to Ji Yunshuang first, saying, "Mother, eat."

Listening to her little girl's soft voice and taking a bite of the kiwi her daughter fed her, Ji Yunshuang's happiness reached its peak.

She smiled and fed the octopus cake in her hand to her daughter, saying, "You eat some too."

Just like yesterday, the mother and daughter ate and then lay down together to sleep.

Perhaps because they ate the food and received proper nutrition, both children were almost completely recovered when they woke up the next morning.

Lu Yuzhu took the initiative to suggest that she go to the mountains with Ji Yunshuang to find local products.

Ji Yunshuang initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought that the cave was damp and it wouldn't be good for the child to stay in the cave all the time, so she nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yanqi immediately expressed that he also wanted to go.

Helpless, Ji Yunshuang could only nod and say, "Alright, let's all go together."

Once they were out of the cave, she secretly slipped a piece of rose brown sugar into each of their mouths.

Ordinary people in this era usually only eat two meals a day.

Having survived the apocalypse, she often went without food for days when she couldn't find any.

She didn't think eating only two meals a day was a big deal.

But the two are children, and she felt that the children shouldn't go hungry like that.

Previously, with so many people in the cave, it wasn't convenient to prepare special meals for the two of them. Now that they were out and it was easier, she naturally wanted to find a way to feed them.

She really enjoys the feeling of feeding the little cutie.

This gave her a sense of reality, a sense that she was no longer in the apocalypse.

"Mother, it's so sweet!" Lu Yuzhu looked at her with bright eyes and mumbled.

Ji Yunshuang raised her hand and wiped her mouth with her sleeve. "After things settle down, I'll cook delicious food for you every day."

Lu Yanqi, however, kept a cold expression as he secretly scrutinized Ji Yunshuang.

When she smiles, her eyes crinkle into crescents, and she is very gentle when she wipes her sister's mouth.

Has she really changed?

If she can change her ways and treat her sister well, perhaps he... can give her a chance?

"Mother is so good." Lu Yuzhu stood on tiptoe and kissed her on the cheek.

This slightly sticky and soft kiss kept Ji Yunshuang in a good mood all morning.

However, this good mood only lasted until noon.

Just as it was time to eat, Lu Wu rushed back, carrying a gray rabbit, and said, "Brother, I just saw several men with large swords at their waists heading this way. Could it be that the Qi army has invaded the mountains?"

Lu Yinheng stood up abruptly. "I'll go take a look."

Ji Yunshuang, however, had a guess in mind and said before he could, "I'll go! I'm fast and familiar with the surrounding terrain."

Lu Yinheng stared at her intently, as if trying to see right through her.

Finally, as if remembering something, he handed her his hunting bow and arrows, saying, "Take this for self-defense."

Ji Yunshuang looked at the bow and arrow in her hand and took a few steps out of the cave.

"How to do?"

"What are we going to do? The Qi army is coming! We're going to die!"

……

After Ji Yunshuang left, chaos erupted in the cave. Some worried women couldn't hold back their sobs and began to cry quietly.

Gu Chunzhi also looked at her eldest son in a panic.

"Don't panic, everyone. Put out the fire first and head into the cave." After Lu Yinheng finished speaking, he said to Gu Chunzhi, "Mother, you should pack your things quickly too."

Lu Bingchun disagreed, saying, "What if the Qi army finds this cave? Wouldn't we be trapped inside? They could kill or torture us as they please?"

"There's a fork in the cave; you can go one way. If you don't trust us, Uncle, you can find your own way out."

Lu Yinheng continued speaking while his hands remained still.

The Lu brothers worked together and quickly extinguished the fire, then packed up everything that needed to be cleaned up.

Lu Yinheng led the way, guiding the Lu family into the cave.

Seeing that Lu Yinheng's family had left, the other villagers hurriedly followed. Even Lu Bingchun's family, half-believing and half-doubting, walked deeper into the cave.

Lu Yuzhu refused to leave. She anxiously looked outside the cave and, seeing that Ji Yunshuang had not returned for a long time, burst into tears, "Where is Mother? Mother hasn't come back yet, what will happen to her? Father, are you going to abandon Mother?"

Lu Yinheng squatted down and gently wiped her tears with his sleeve. "Don't cry, sweetie. I'll take you to a safe place first, and then I'll come back to pick up your mother."

"Really?" The little girl tried to hold back her tears, but the tears in her eyes rolled uncontrollably out like crystal-clear pearls.

Lu Yinheng felt his heart clench.

He held up his little finger and said, "Pinky promise! I promise! I'll definitely come back for her."

Lu Yunzhu then stopped crying and smiled, making a pinky promise with him, saying, "Father, you must bring Mother back."

Lu Yinheng wanted to ask, "Do you like your mother very much?"

But considering that the daughter has no memories of her past life, it's normal for a child to love her mother.

But what if one day she discovers that her kindness towards her was for a purpose? Would she be very sad?
