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

For people in the countryside, loquat is indeed a popular snack.

Every autumn, the village children would go to play by the mountainside.

But no one would treat loquats like a treasure.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang's eyes shining as she carefully picked a handful of loquats and held them to her nose in a blissful state, Madam Ma thought she was a complete fool.

I thought to myself, what an ignorant fool. I don't know where this fool got his luck yesterday, actually finding two rabbits.

She patiently waited for Ji Yunshuang for a while, and saw that after she finished picking the loquats, she went to pick the wooden buns without any sense of propriety.

Ma immediately pursed her lips in disdain and turned to pick wild chestnuts.

Sun Meixiang wanted to stay and continue to find fault with Ji Yunshuang, but after touching her aching stomach, she couldn't resist the hunger and went with Ma to pick wild chestnuts in the woods.

However, Aunt Zhou, who had harvested Ji Yunshuang's sweet potatoes yesterday, couldn't stand it and kindly reminded her, "Daughter-in-law, why are you picking these things? You can't eat them."

Ji Yunshuang held up the jelly fruit and explained, "It's edible."

Pure, natural, and pollution-free jelly is far superior to technology and grueling labor. The key is that she hasn't eaten jelly since the apocalypse. Just thinking about it makes her mouth water.

"Can this still be eaten?" Aunt Zhou didn't believe it. In the past, the big locust tree in the village was covered with vines that grew large and large.

But once you pick them and peel them open, inside are either seeds or hollow pulp. Only the mischievous village kids pick them and throw them around to play with; they're not edible.

Ji Yunshuang smiled and said, "You can make it into jelly. I'll invite you to try it when I've made it."

Aunt Zhou had sent the food over last night, so she kindly reminded her not to eat anything from the Lu family again. She quickly waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to trouble herself.

They've lived in the village for decades and never knew this stuff was edible. If it really was, it must be incredibly complicated to prepare.

She might pick a whole bagful and still not be able to get much to eat; she doesn't have that kind of thick skin.

She offered a few words of advice and then went off to busy herself with something else.

In general, there are many treasures in the mountains in autumn. Even village women who don't know how to hunt can harvest a lot of mountain products.

Ji Yunshuang picked a large basket of jelly fruit. Seeing that there was no one else around, she used her mental power to put all the jelly fruit from the tree into her spatial storage.

Having survived the apocalypse, she has a morbid obsession with hoarding food. She would feel terribly distressed if she saw food that wasn't all taken away.

At the top of the tree, there were jujubes that were out of reach, chestnuts covered in thorns that were difficult to pick by hand, and a whole tree of sour jujubes...

She put them all into her spatial storage.

She was absolutely ecstatic.

She felt she could stay in this forest for the rest of her life.

However, the intense hunger in her body reminded her that she should eat something. Thinking of the lovely, soft-spoken little girl waiting for her in the cave, a tender feeling rose in her heart.

She began to look around.

Soon, she spotted several large, brightly colored pheasants.

She has quite a few weapons in her space.

Using her mind, she retrieved a crossbow from inside and fired a barrage of shots at the pheasant.

She quickly shot down two large pheasants.

She found a stream, cleaned the two pheasants, then entered the space, filled a bag with rice from the cloth bag on Master Huang's carriage, and carried it back to the cave.

To make it seem like the rice was actually picked up by her, she deliberately smeared a lot of mud on the cloth bag.

Even so, this bag of rice still caused a sensation in the cave.

Ma returned to the cave before Ji Yunshuang and kept a close eye on its movements.

Seeing Ji Yunshuang carrying two pheasants and a cloth bag made of fine fabric, the jealousy and anger in his eyes almost burst forth.

"Cousin-in-law, what are you carrying? This bag looks like it's made of pretty good material."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the cloth bag in Ji Yunshuang's hand, but Ji Yunshuang dodged her.

"I was chasing a pheasant earlier and I had some bad luck, I tripped and fell. But I didn't expect to turn misfortune into good fortune, I found a bag in the roadside bushes."

Ji Yunshuang, without batting an eye, told her fabricated lie, "It must have been lost by someone fleeing famine."

Ma was filled with deep regret.

She shouldn't have run off to pick chestnuts when she saw Ji Yunshuang picking those useless things. She should have followed her; maybe that bag of rice would have been hers.

"I found it!" she chuckled. "Then you should share half with me."

Ji Yunshuang had seen plenty of shameless people like this in the apocalypse. She raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "On what grounds?"

Ma was startled by Ji Yunshuang's sudden change in demeanor and unconsciously took a step back.

But looking at the pheasant in Ji Yunshuang's hand and the bulging cloth bag, he stubbornly said, "As the saying goes, share half when you meet. You should give me half of what you picked up from the ground."

"Didn't you just get a second chance at life? Why don't you give me half of it?" Before Ji Yunshuang could get angry, Lu Yinheng walked over, holding a gleaming broadsword, and blocked Ji Yunshuang's way.

Looking at the broadsword in his hand, Madam Ma immediately recalled the time when they encountered bandits, and how Lu Yinheng, relying on a broadsword, hacked the fierce bandits until their heads were bleeding profusely.

How could she forget this god of death?

Her teeth chattered, and she backed away shakily, saying, "I was just joking, cousin, don't take it seriously."

After Ma left, Ji Yunshuang looked at Lu Yinheng with great interest.

Lu Yinheng, seemingly oblivious to Ji Yunshuang's intrigued gaze, turned and walked away with a cold expression.

Watching his cold back, Ji Yunshuang found this man increasingly interesting. Did he already know his wife had cheated on him and was unhappy about it? But in a crucial moment, he still stood up for her?

"Mother, you're back?" Lu Yuzhu's kitten-like voice interrupted Ji Yunshuang's suspicions.

Perhaps because she took medicine to reduce her fever last night and also received extra nutrition, the little girl seemed to be doing better than yesterday.

Faced with her soft, adorable little daughter, Ji Yunshuang couldn't care less what the cold-faced man was thinking.

She walked over in a few steps, touched the little girl's forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the fever had subsided.

Lu Yanqi, on the other hand, had a fever again and was now lying listlessly in a pile of weeds.

Looking at the child's chapped lips and the obvious worry in Xiaoyuzhu's eyes when she looked at her brother.

She comforted you, saying, "I brought back pheasants and rice. We'll make chicken soup porridge in a bit. Once you drink the porridge and have the strength, you'll get better quickly."

Of course, simply eating food to supplement nutrition is not enough; medication is also necessary.

Based on her limited medical knowledge and common sense, she could tell that Lu Yanqi's weakened immune system was caused by overwork and malnutrition, coupled with the shock of witnessing bandits killing people, which led to a cold.

However, the common cold, which had a very high mortality rate in ancient times, is just a minor issue in the face of modern medicine!
