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

"By the way, big brother, what do you want me to catch this rat for? You don't want to eat it, do you?" Looking at the rat in his hand, Lu Zilin was a little expectant. This rat looked different from ordinary rats; it was particularly fat.

He swallowed hard, feeling a little uneasy.

The Lu family wasn't considered well-off in the village, but they weren't too bad either. In particular, the eldest brother had learned martial arts from an old hunter in the mountains since he was a child, and could catch a lot of prey on a single trip into the mountains.

The eldest brother was good at studying and hunting, and he was also hardworking. Although the second brother was not as good as the eldest brother, he also learned the craft of carpentry from the carpenter in the city.

Third Brother didn't learn any trades, but he was a good farmer. Except for the few years after his father passed away, the family was doing alright.

The family wasn't particularly wealthy, but they had enough to eat. They even managed to have a little meat from time to time thanks to the eldest brother's hunting.

But the Northern Qi invaded, forcing the whole family to flee in panic, and they had to abandon many belongings. They suffered from poor food and sleep on the road, yet had to keep moving, and were then attacked by bandits…

These days have been incredibly difficult.

He hadn't had a proper meal in days, let alone meat. So, looking at the large rat in his hand, he felt both greedy and a little scared.

Lu Yinheng didn't answer his talkative younger brother's question. He glanced down at his daughter lying in the pile of dry grass, took the mouse from his brother's hand, and went around to the other side of the stone.

He held the rat by the neck with one hand, took the bowl from the corner with the other, and poured half a bowl of medicine into it.

Lu Zilin, who followed along, and Gu Chunzhi, who was standing beside him, both widened their eyes in surprise when they saw his actions.

"Big brother—" Lu Zilin wanted to ask him why he did this, but he was stunned by the fierce look Lu Yinheng shot at him before he could finish speaking. He swallowed hard and kept the rest of his words to himself.

Since her husband died ten years ago, Gu Qingzhi has relied on her eldest son as her pillar of support, and she never doubts what her son does.

At that moment, although he had some doubts, he remained silent.

Lu Yinheng examined the rat for a long time but saw no signs of poisoning, which deepened his suspicions.

On the other side, after Ji Yunshuang left the cave, she walked towards the woods on the side.

She originally wanted to find a secluded place to enter the space to get some children's fever reducers and food, but as she walked, she discovered a cluster of Dendrobium officinale growing on a high cliff.

Ji Yunshuang's eyes lit up when she saw that cluster of Dendrobium officinale.

In her previous life, she studied medicine at university, but unfortunately, the world ended after only one year.

After the apocalypse, large numbers of plants and animals died and mutated...

Dendrobium officinale like this has long since become priceless.

She surveyed the surroundings of the cliff, found a suitable foothold, and then leaped up the cliff.

"what!"

Sun Meixiang watched Ji Yunshuang leave the cave and then secretly followed her. Now, seeing her nimbly climbing the high cliff like a monkey, she let out a sharp scream.

Ji Yunshuang ignored Sun Meixiang's scream.

After climbing up the high cliff and picking the Dendrobium officinale, she did not come down, but continued to climb.

Because she discovered that right above the Dendrobium officinale, there was actually a Ganoderma lucidum growing.

As Ji Yunshuang picked the stone lingzhi, she exclaimed in her heart, "This world is truly wonderful!"

The air is fresh, and the plants don't mutate; they suddenly start attacking her.

By the time Ji Yunshuang finished picking the two medicinal herbs, Sun Meixiang had already disappeared.

She sensed her surroundings and, after confirming that no one else was around, hid behind a large rock and took out two rabbits from her spatial storage.

She originally wanted to eat chicken, but the chickens in the space were all domesticated, and it would be too strange to take them out.

There isn't much difference between domesticated rabbits and wild rabbits, so she ended up choosing two plump, large rabbits.

Besides the rabbit, she also took out more than a dozen sweet potatoes.

This is what she found in a warehouse during her frenzied looting spree. Besides sweet potatoes, there were also many vegetables, and even fresh seafood.

In my past life, after the apocalypse, Earth's water resources were polluted. Even seafood like fish and shrimp, which didn't die or mutate, carried varying degrees of toxicity.

Ji Yunshuang hadn't eaten seafood for many years. While she was rummaging through the warehouse, her mouth watered, wishing she could have a seafood feast and eat her fill.

However, since the apocalypse had just begun, she was in a hurry to stockpile supplies and didn't have time to prepare food, so she could only devour everything in her space.

Although she really wants to have a seafood feast right now.

But other things are clearly not suitable to be brought out now.

Finally, she returned to the cave carrying two large, fat rabbits, sweet potatoes, and fresh Dendrobium officinale.

On her way back, she also saw a lot of herbs.

With no one around, she moved it into her spatial dimension with a thought.

If the newly added land in the space is suitable for planting, she wants to plant these herbs in the space.

She also conveniently added the school library to her online space, which should contain a lot of professional books.

There are no zombies or mutated plants and animals in this world, so she can find some time to study on her own and finish the traditional Chinese medicine course she couldn't complete in college.

She had only just reached the cave entrance when she heard Sun Meixiang's anxious and urgent voice, "Brother Dalang, listen to me, that's a demon. Ji Yunshuang has been married into our Yunshui Village for three or four years, everyone knows what kind of person she is!"

"Given her usual whining and complaining attitude, how could she possibly climb a cliff!"

But I just saw her climb up a cliff several meters high with her bare hands. If that wasn't a fairy in disguise, what was it?

Ji Yunshuang slowly walked behind her, leaned close to her ear and said, "If I were a demon, I would be the first to drink your blood and eat your flesh."

Sun Meixiang screamed in fright and quickly hid behind Lu Yinheng. "Big Brother, look, she has admitted it. She is a demon and wants to eat my flesh and drink my blood."

Lu Yinheng avoided her pulling and looked at Ji Yunshuang with a scrutinizing gaze.

Ji Yunshuang met his gaze calmly and slowly, "What, do you also think I'm a vixen?"

Lu Yinheng said calmly, "I am not that absurd."

Sun Meixiang's heart shattered instantly. "Brother Dalang, why don't you believe what she says? Look, she's clearly not normal."

"Sister-in-law Zhang, is it because Brother Zhang just died that you're already in such a hurry to find yourself a new husband? You call him 'Big Brother' so sweetly—"

As Ji Yunshuang said this, she glanced at Lu Yinheng with a smile and drawled, "Do you want to rekindle your romance with my husband?"

"You... what did you say?" Sun Meixiang stammered, anxiously looking at Lu Yinheng. "Brother Dalang, listen to me, I really didn't frame her on purpose. I really saw her leap up the cliff like a monkey just now."

As she spoke, she suddenly noticed the rabbit Ji Yunshuang was carrying, and as if she had finally found some evidence, she hurriedly said, "Look, she caught a rabbit. She must be a mountain fairy in disguise, otherwise how could she catch a rabbit? She is—"

"Sister Zhang, is there anything else?" Lu Yinheng interrupted her calmly.

Sun Meixiang's heart shattered once again.

She's a year younger than him!

He even called her Sister-in-law Zhang.

Is this to avoid suspicion, or to prevent his lazy wife from misunderstanding?

She cried out pitifully, "Brother, listen to me, I—"

Lu Yinheng interrupted her again, "If there's nothing else, please leave!"

Sun Meixiang stomped her foot in anger, glared fiercely at Ji Yunshuang, and turned to walk towards her resting place.

The cave where everyone rested didn't look very big from the outside. But the inside was quite large, with many branches.

The other families who escaped to the cave with the Lu family all found places to rest.

Although the other families' sons were not as seriously injured as Lu Yinheng, they all sustained injuries to varying degrees.

Moreover, everyone was already rushing along the way to escape, then they fought with bandits, and then fled for their lives again, leaving everyone exhausted.

After finding the cave, most people just lay down and fell asleep.

Only someone with ulterior motives like Sun Meixiang would force herself to stay awake and keep a close eye on other people's affairs.
