My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

The only inconvenience is that things aren't settled yet. It's hard to find an opportunity to bring out many things, and it's also inconvenient to make many kinds of food.

However, remembering what Lu Yinheng had said—to find out what this place was after dawn and then determine the next route—her dissatisfaction quickly dissipated.

Although she didn't know why, she always felt that Lu Yinheng was confident about the upcoming itinerary.

She had a feeling that perhaps soon they would be able to settle down.

With her mind preoccupied, Ji Yunshuang quickly peeled the yam.

At this moment, Lu Yinheng returned carrying the already killed rabbit. He glanced at the yams in Ji Yunshuang's hand, frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed his brows and asked, "I'm going to the stream to wash the rabbit. Do you want to wash these too?"

The fire had dwindled to a pile of glowing embers. It was still dark, and Ji Yunshuang couldn't see his expression clearly. She replied, "Then you can wash it together, but don't put it with the rabbit meat this time."

The stewed rabbit she used to eat was made by stewing rabbit meat and potatoes together. The rabbit meat had to be stir-fried first, then spices were added before water was added to stew. The potatoes were added later in the cooking process.

Yam is harder than potato, so you can add it a little earlier, but the steps should be about the same.

"Okay." Lu Yinheng nodded in agreement without asking any further questions.

Ji Yunshuang was delighted, "Alright, I'll go take another look around and see if I can find some spices."

Spices are not so easy to find; she was just looking for an excuse to take things out of her spatial storage.

However, she didn't dare to take out too much; she only took some spices like star anise and Sichuan peppercorns, which were processed to make it impossible to tell what they were.

As for the soul of stewed rabbit meat—chili peppers—she didn't take them out.

Firstly, the original owner had never seen chili peppers in his memories, and secondly, there were many sick people in his family who were not suitable to eat chili peppers.

Thinking about how she subconsciously described them as family, Ji Yunshuang suddenly felt happy.

She has had no home since her grandparents passed away.

Now, she has a family again.

Soon, Lu Yinheng returned with the cleaned rabbit meat and yam.

Ji Yunshuang lightly stir-fried some rabbit meat with a little fat in a pot before adding spices and the remaining rabbit meat, then added water and simmered it.

Lu Yinheng didn't say anything, but he took on all the tasks, from setting up the pottery jars to adding firewood.

And it was done very smoothly.

Thinking that even in the post-apocalyptic world, some men still act like chauvinists, believing that men shouldn't be involved in kitchen work, Ji Yunshuang's impression of him inexplicably improved.

The aroma of stir-fried rabbit meat was so strong that as soon as Ji Yunshuang started cooking, the villagers who were resting nearby gradually woke up.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang stewing meat again, Liu Shi immediately started scolding her daughters-in-law with a lot of resentment, "A bunch of lazybones, they don't even know how to find food for the elders in the family. Be careful they don't get struck by lightning and suffer retribution."

Smelling the delicious aroma in the air, Madam Ma swallowed hard, her mouth watering. She said with a wronged expression, "Mother, it's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I don't have the skill to hunt! If I did, I would take care of you every day."

"Are others born knowing this skill? If you don't know it, why don't you learn it? Are you stupid?"

Liu cursed and kicked her daughters-in-law's legs, saying, "Get up, all of you, and go find me something to eat. What? Do you expect me to find something to serve you? A bunch of lazybones."

Ma originally thought her mother-in-law was just using an excuse to ask her cousin's family for food.

Unexpectedly, they were actually being asked to go up the mountain to find something to eat, and she immediately looked at her husband with a bitter expression.

Lu Xuewen was kicked in the groin by Lu Yanqi yesterday. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, traveling all afternoon. He fell into a deep sleep without eating anything that night.

He was starving, and the aroma was so enticing that a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"Come help me up, let's go together."

Ms. Ma originally wanted her husband to help her, but she was stunned when she didn't expect him to want to go with her.

Lu Xuewen said impatiently, "Hurry up!"

Madam Ma then quickly helped Lu Xuewen walk towards the woods on the side.

Lu Bingchun and Liu had five sons and two daughters. The two daughters married out of the family, and the youngest son died of illness during the disaster. Now there are four left.

All four sons are now adults and married.

After watching the eldest son and his wife leave, Liu started berating her other three daughters-in-law. She scolded them for disrespecting their elders and lacking filial piety...

Ostensibly, she was scolding her own daughter-in-law, but everyone could tell that she was just using the situation as an excuse to give Lu Yinheng and the younger generation, including Ji Shi, a warning.

The villagers nearby thought it was absurd.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly at his bad luck. When they encountered bandits, how come the other families got separated from them, but Lu Bingchun's family had to escape with them?

The meat that Lu Dalang's family cooked was indeed very tempting.

But people should help each other.

Although the two families were related by marriage, unfortunately, Lu Bingchun and his wife were short-sighted. At that time, the two families almost became mortal enemies over the land left by Lu Bingcheng.

Now that Lu Dalang and his wife are capable, they naturally won't harass Zhang Shi and his family.

What's the point of her cursing and swearing?

Despite their inner grumbling, the villagers were still incredibly envious. To be able to get a bite of meat on their journey away from famine was truly a feat.

On the other side, Ma helped Lu Xuewen to a grove of trees.

Seeing that no one was around, Madam Ma finally couldn't help but speak up: "My dear husband, didn't you realize that I was trying to use this as a warning to get Ji to send food over? Why did you actually come all the way to the mountains? Hunting there isn't that easy!"

Lu Xuewen said viciously, "With the ferocity of those little wolf cubs, do you think they'll obediently bring over their food after I scold them a few times?"

Ma asked, "So what do you mean?"

Lu Xuewen said in a sinister tone, "Do you still remember what happened a couple of years ago when your family made a scene?"

At first, Mrs. Ma didn't react, but when she realized what her husband meant, her eyes widened suddenly, and her lips trembled as she said, "You mean..."

Seeing that she had realized what was happening, Lu Xuewen said with satisfaction, "You still know what that kind of grass looks like, right? When you see it, pick some for me."

Ma's heart was pounding.

She was angry that Lu Yinheng and Madam Ji were heartless, treating outsiders better than they treated them, but she never intended to kill Lu Yinheng's family.

Suddenly learning of her husband's plan terrified her. But then she thought that once Lu Yinheng's family died, all their grain, meat, and possessions would belong to her, and she decided it was the right thing to do.

This is a chaotic world; countless people die on the roads.

What difference does it make if a few more die?

She nodded quickly, "My mother specifically asked me to go back and see it, so I know what that grass looks like. Don't worry, I'll recognize it as soon as I see it."

After saying that, she asked, "Then when shall we make our move?"

Lu Xuewen said, "Prepare the things first, there's no rush."

Ma thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "There's no rush. Isn't Ji lucky that she knows how to hunt? It's more worthwhile to make a move when she has more supplies."

Lu Xuewen was thinking a little further ahead.

We don't know how far we are from Jiangzhou yet. Lu Yinheng knows some martial arts and can find his way around, so we can use him for now. We can get rid of them when we get closer to Jiangzhou.
