Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

"No need," Xie Qingyu said immediately.

Not hearing any sound of someone leaving, Xie Qingyu paused for a moment and then said, "I came with someone, she'll be back soon."

As Xie Qingyu spoke, she pointed towards the direction from which the sound was coming from.

The man looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

The people over there were catching pheasants, and the pheasants, startled by the wild boar, all flew away.

He looked away and then at Xie Qingyu, "It's not safe for you to be here alone, and you can't see anything. Next time, don't let anyone leave you here alone to watch things."

"Thank you." Xie Qingyu nodded to the man, her expression softening slightly.

However, her body language still showed some resistance, clearly indicating that she was wary of him.

"Then I'm leaving." The man's voice rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving.

As the sound faded into the distance, Xie Qingyu felt a sense of relief.

Encountering a man on this mountain when you can't see him is quite frightening.

Before she could think of anything else, she heard the system's voice.

That was the male lead.

The system generally won't give Xie Qingyu any prompts, or rather, it won't affect Xie Qingyu's task completion process.

This time, Xie Qingyu probably spoke up because she was blind.

Xie Qingyu was stunned for a moment, not expecting to meet the male lead so soon.

Thinking back on what I just said, there shouldn't be anything inappropriate about it.

It was indeed a bit inconvenient to meet the male lead while her eyes were still not fully healed.

Before Xie Qingyu could think about anything else, Qiu Jie from that year had already returned.

Her voice was filled with obvious excitement, "Look, I caught one!"

Qiu Jie probably only realized Xie Qingyu was blind after she finished speaking, and her voice softened a little, "I forgot you can't see."

"You're amazing!" Xie Qingyu immediately praised, "Even pheasants can fly, and you actually caught one! That's really great!"

Sister Qiu had probably never heard such praise before. An unnatural blush appeared on her face, and her voice became a little awkward. "I... I was just lucky to catch it. I just happened to catch it."

Sister Qiu made it sound so easy, but in reality, she fell several times while competing with so many people to catch pheasants. If she had been more careful, her face might have been covered in bruises.

"That's really impressive. If we catch a pheasant, we can have meat to eat," Xie Qingyu praised sincerely.

"Then let's go back quickly. Fu Bao is at home, so she'll definitely kill this chicken today," Sister Qiu said.

After Qiu Jie finished speaking, she prepared to let Xie Qingyu take the chicken first while she went to carry the basket on her back.

She glanced at Xie Qingyu's hand, then at the still-flailing chicken, and still didn't dare to hand the chicken over to Xie Qingyu with peace of mind.

She found some thin, long strands of dry grass nearby, braided them into three strands, and tied the chicken up tightly, leaving a handle for it to carry. Then she handed it to Xie Qingyu, saying, "Here, take this."

On the way up the mountain, Qiu Jie carried an empty basket on her back and had some difficulty helping Xie Qingyu up.

When they came down the mountain, their baskets were full, making it even more difficult to carry them. Xie Qingyu also had things in her hands, making the descent even more stumbling.

I was afraid that I might accidentally roll down the slope.

It took us a long time to walk down that short stretch of road.

The two figures mingled with the other people coming down the mountain and walked into the village, completely unaware of the gaze that had stopped at the foot of the mountain behind them.

When Sister Qiu and Xie Qingyu brought the pheasants back, Grandma Xie was overjoyed, and she even started to find Sister Qiu and her daughter-in-law more agreeable.

She had been thinking that since Fu Bao was back, she would have to go and get some meat, but now there was plenty of it available.

Next, Xie Lao Er took over the task of killing the chicken, bleeding it, and removing its feathers.

After he finished, he asked Granny Xie for a few coins. "You have to drink a little something when you eat meat. Now that Fu Bao has been beaten, he will inevitably eat and drink with his fellow disciples when he is out. How can he not drink?"

Xie Lao Er knew that his mother doted on her grandson, and sure enough, as soon as he brought up this reason, Xie Pozi immediately took out the money.

Qiu Jie and Xie Ersao are peeling chestnuts right now.

Most of these chestnuts, once peeled, will be taken to town to be sold.

Although these things aren't worth much in large quantities, they still provide some income.

When it becomes difficult to find them later on, if we can't gather enough for a whole basket in two days, we'll keep them for ourselves.

Peeling chestnuts is no easy task; the outer shell is a bit prickly, and you have to break it open.

Sister Qiu and Sister-in-law Xie seemed oblivious to the danger, and their movements were faster than the other's.

Today, because we're making chicken, my mother-in-law is personally in charge of cooking.

However, it wasn't until dinner time that Xie Qingyu realized what favoritism truly meant.

This chicken isn't very fat; it's a wild pheasant that roams the mountains, so it's not very big and doesn't have much meat. But it's not so bad that one person can only have one piece.

Of course, this was because there was only one piece in her bowl.

"Let's eat. We're finally having meat today. Fu Bao, eat more. I've served you a bowl of meat. Studying is hard on your brain." Granny Xie's voice rang out.

Presumably to prevent any fighting over the meat, Granny Xie directly divided the meat into individual bowls for each person.

Xie Qingyu picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks; there was only one piece in the bowl.

Xie Qingyu put down her chopsticks and was about to say something when someone tugged at her sleeve.

The person to her left is Sister Qiu.

Perhaps Xie Qingyu's actions were noticed by Granny Xie, who glanced over and said, "Take your food outside and eat it. What are you doing leaving it on the table?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Qiu immediately grabbed a cornbread bun and took her bowl outside.

Looking back, he didn't forget to come back and pull Xie Qingyu out.

Sister Qiu went out and sat down on the wooden stump at the front door to eat, as if it were already a common occurrence.

"Was that what you were going to ask just now?" Sister Qiu asked Xie Qingyu after taking a couple of bites of her meal.

"Well, you caught the chicken, so why should we all only get one piece of meat?" Xie Qingyu's tone wasn't pleasant.

It's one thing to favor sons over daughters, but to be so blatantly biased?

"It's no use saying anything, you'll just get scolded anyway, why bother?" Sister Qiu looked at Xie Qingyu's bowl. "At least yours still has a piece of meat, mine only has a bone."

Even so, the chicken soup was already very fragrant.

Xie Qingyu paused for a moment, then picked up the chicken from the bowl and handed it to Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu didn't want it.

"If you don't want it, just let it fall on the ground. A puppy will definitely come right away." There are many stray dogs in the village.

Sister Qiu then accepted the meat, but her tone was still somewhat hesitant, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

"I'm not craving meat right now," Xie Qingyu said.

She's not biased towards Sister Qiu; people who haven't experienced hunger really don't crave meat.

She had only been in this world for a short time, and the original owner of this body had no shortage of meat to eat, so she didn't really have much hope for this piece of meat.

But Qiu Jie next to her was different; Xie Qingyu could even hear her swallowing.
