The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 11 Ancient Fantasy 7
Time seems to pass especially slowly when you're looking forward to something.
These past two days, Su Yuanyuan stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, just helping her mother prepare things for going up the mountain.
She also dried some meat while the sun was shining brightly. Her father always only brought flatbread when he went up the mountain, and she couldn't stand eating that stuff every day.
To preserve them for longer, the flatbread was made as hard as a rock, so tough that people with weak teeth couldn't bite it.
Out of curiosity, Su Yuanyuan once soaked her father's leftovers in boiling water. It took at least half an hour to soak before she could eat them, and the taste was indescribable.
So when she had the opportunity, she still chose not to endure that hardship.
"Mom, can I bring some dried mushrooms?"
Su Yuanyuan flipped the dried meat over, then remembered that she could bring some dried mushrooms and cook them together in a soup for a hot meal.
Why are you bringing that?
While making the flatbread, Yue Niang asked, "This time, Su Yuanyuan is also coming along, so she needs to make more than usual."
"I was planning to bring dried meat and cook it in soup with dried mushrooms."
"Bring less. There's no time to cook on the mountain. We'll just make do for breakfast and lunch, and only be able to cook something hot in the evening. Bringing too much will just be a burden."
"Alright, I'll bring less then. How many days will Dad and the others be gone up the mountain this time?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded. As long as she could have something hot to eat, she was fine with it. She didn't expect to eat it every meal.
"From what your father said, it will take three or four days. Regardless of whether they catch any prey, they will have to go again when winter comes."
After flipping through the dried meat, Su Yuanyuan sat down next to her mother and spread out the prepared flatbreads so they would cool down faster.
"Mom, I'll hunt a rabbit for you."
Su Yuanyuan was whispering to her mother when she was immediately slapped, leaving a white handprint on her body.
“You better behave yourself. When you get to the mountain, just stick with your father. When they’re hunting, you better stay far away. If I find out you’re causing trouble, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Su Yuanyuan slapped away the handprint. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she nodded hesitantly when she saw her mother's serious expression.
"Okay, I'll be a good boy/girl."
"Go, go, pack your things, I hate seeing you."
Moon Lady rudely chased Su Yuanyuan away. She was such a worry. She was almost of marriageable age, so it seemed she would have to get her to settle down after this trip back.
Su Yuanyuan went inside to pack her things, unaware of her mother's thoughts. After all, in her mind, a fourteen-year-old girl had only just graduated from junior high school.
The next morning, Su Yuanyuan was dragged out of bed by her mother. By the time she got ready and came out, her father was already waiting at the door.
"Dad, I'm all better now."
Su Yuanyuan ran to her father with a small bamboo basket on her back. Su Jiye looked her over and reached into the basket to rummage around.
"Okay, I've brought everything, let's go."
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked ahead, with Su Yuanyuan quickly following.
"Father, who came up the mountain this time?"
Su Yuanyuan followed behind her father, and it seemed that the direction her father was heading was towards the village chief's house.
Su Jiye glanced at her, his hand unconsciously reaching for the cleaver at his waist, and gently touching it.
“It’s just you and me from our village, along with your Uncle Wenli and Uncle Wende. The rest are from neighboring villages. This time, they went up the mountain on their own initiative; not many people went.”
Su Yuanyuan's eyes followed her father's movements to the machete, then glanced at the bow and arrows on his back. To be honest, she also wanted to try it.
"Dad, can you teach me how to use a bow? I want to learn." Thinking this, Su Yuanyuan asked.
Su Jiye turned to look at her, his gaze sweeping over her slender arms, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Su Yuanyuan understood, and she turned her head away angrily, ignoring her father.
"You're not that big of a person, but you have quite a temper. I'll make you a smaller one another day and then teach you."
Su Jiye laughed heartily, reached out and ruffled Su Yuanyuan's hair, his tone full of affection.
"Dad, don't touch my hair, it'll be a hassle if you mess it up."
Su Yuanyuan quickly covered her head; in that instant, she felt her hair bun come undone.
She gently patted his head and breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the hair hadn't come off.
Su Jiye looked at her with a smile, thinking how well-behaved his daughter was!
Remembering what his wife had told him last night, Su Jiye silently suppressed his smile, his face gradually turning dark.
His daughter is still young, so there's no rush for her to get married.
Su Yuanyuan's family home wasn't too far from the village chief's house; they arrived in no time. From a distance, they could see a group of people standing at the village chief's door.
Upon approaching, Su Yuanyuan obediently bowed to the uncle she knew, and then looked at her father.
"Yuanyuan, you can just call him Uncle. We all share the same surname."
Seeing the questioning look in her daughter's eyes, Su Jiye gave her a brief introduction.
They're all from other villages; she doesn't need to know them all, just someone to address her when she meets them.
"Hello uncles, this is my first time going up the mountain. Please forgive me if I do anything wrong."
Su Yuanyuan greeted each of her uncles, saying sweet words to coax them, and her father received several envious glances.
Su Jiye proudly puffed out his chest, "Envious, aren't you? This is my daughter," which made Wenli and his brother roll their eyes at him.
“Girl, come with me after we go up the mountain. Your father is going hunting, and it will be dangerous if you go with him.”
Xu Wenli smiled kindly at Su Yuanyuan, trying to lure her to him.
Su Jiye's daughter is truly adorable; she's well-behaved and beautiful, far superior to his sister.
Although he was educated and sometimes unconsciously looked at people with a bit of arrogance, he wasn't as arrogant as his sister.
His sister is an illiterate girl who always acts superior.
If they find fault with their own family members, they can hardly stand up to anyone else in the village.
Only the young man she recently brought home manages to get a good look from her.
Xu Wende and Xu Wenli are twins; you can tell why by looking at his brother like this.
He didn't know what to say about his younger sister. Because she was his parents' youngest daughter, they spoiled her rotten.
He also had a fondness for Su Jiye's daughter; who wouldn't like a well-behaved, sensible, and sweet-talking little girl?
“Yes, once you go up the mountain, Yuanyuan will be with your Uncle Wenli. Your father, that rough old man, probably won’t be able to take care of you. You’re a young girl, so please don’t get hurt.”
Xu Wende echoed his brother, saying that he knew Su Jiye well enough to know him.
When he gets into a hunting frenzy, he definitely won't pay attention to his daughter.
Su Yuanyuan turned to look at her father, letting him make the decision. Su Jiye scratched his head, remembering his own behavior, and nodded to Su Yuanyuan.
"Yuanyuan, you just stay with your Uncle Wenli. You two can stay in the back."
Su Yuanyuan nodded in agreement; it seemed there was something she didn't know!
"Uncle Wenli, then I'll trouble you. I'll cook meat soup for you tonight."
Xu Wenli smiled gently, which made Su Yuanyuan sigh, "He truly is a scholar."
These two uncles of the village chief's family, one is a scholar and the other is a martial arts practitioner, who knows, they might have great things in the future.
