The Gu family's house is still the same old house. When Gu Tieniu built the house, he built it according to the number of people in his family.

Now that there's one more person in the house, there's definitely not enough room for sleeping. At least the three brothers who used to share a room can't sleep in the same room anymore.

Lin Cai and Gu Dachui and his wife emptied the storage room on the east side and gave it to Ershi and his brother to sleep in.

"Hua Ni, we don't have many rooms, and this was done in a hurry. It was too late yesterday, and we didn't have enough time to tidy up. Now we're troubling you."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. This is what I should do anyway, it's no problem."

Huani wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start. Seeing the girl's hesitant expression, Lin Cai said calmly, "From now on, you can call me 'sister'!"

Gu Dachui never called the original owner "mother," nor did he call her that either, since they were about the same age.

Two people who are about the same age are separated by a generation, which is really hard to say. Lin Cai simply told Huani to call her "sister".

Besides, I'm not even in my forties or fifties yet, so I can't be the mother of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Hearing this, Huani nodded obediently and said, "Sister Lin, after we clean this place up, Brother Da Chui and I will stay here."

"I'm not picky about rooms, as long as I can sleep, that's fine. I guess Big Hammer Bro feels the same way!"

As the young girl spoke, she secretly glanced at the young man working over there. Gu Dachui, of course, agreed with what his new wife said.

He was also willing to leave his original room for his younger brothers to sleep in; they could just stay there.

Lin Cai said no, but the two of them insisted, so in the end she gave up and let them sleep wherever they wanted, since they had chosen it themselves!

The room was all arranged, and Lin Cai went to sleep that night. In her sleep, she had a strange dream.

When Lin Cai woke up the next day, her mind was still reeling from the dream. She shook her head as she thought about the scene in her dream.

How could someone with such excellent archery skills possibly get injured?

Even if she was injured, it shouldn't be someone as helpless as her who should be saving her life!

Once she woke up, Lin Cai stopped caring about it; after all, it was just a dream.

Today she was going up the mountain. Before she went up the mountain, Lin Cai told Xiao Chunhua to stay at home obediently with Huani and not to run around.

Xiao Chunhua nodded obediently, indicating that she would listen, and earnestly reminded Lin Cai to be careful and come back as soon as possible.

Hearing these words of advice, Lin Cai smiled and ruffled Xiao Chunhua's hair: "You little girl, you're so tiny, why are you so long-winded!"

"I promise you, I will be careful and come back soon. I won't let you worry."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chunhua immediately hugged Lin Cai: "Mom, can I go with you?"

"No, we agreed on this before, and you promised me. Have you forgotten so quickly?"

"I haven't forgotten, I just don't want you to go alone. How about I go and call your third uncle along?"

As soon as Xiaochunhua finished speaking, she ran outside, but Lin Cai grabbed the little girl and pulled her back: "I said I'd go alone, you don't need to go and call anyone else."

"I will keep my promise to you, so don't worry about me, okay?"

Little Chunhua pouted and nodded reluctantly, then watched Lin Cai carry her basket out the door.

Winter is approaching, and the leaves on the trees have almost all fallen. The entire mountain is bare, with bare trees, and it's hard to even see a bird.

But in such a place, there are many treasures that people can't find. Today, Lin Cai has come to find those treasures.

She carefully walked inside with a wood-chopping knife in her hand, using the knife to chop away the surrounding weeds as she went.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Cai finally saw what she was looking for: those dark green leaves, standing out prominently among the withered leaves.

Lin Cai knelt on the ground and began to dig with a knife; what she wanted was the rootstock below.

The palm-shaped yam, also known as the foot-shaped yam, got its name because some of them look like a foot.

Aside from its strange appearance, its taste is not much different from that of a cylindrical yam.

Because they are wild and can be found in the mountains, Lin Cai went up the mountain specifically for that reason.

After digging with a knife for a while, Lin Cai finally dug up a head. Afraid of breaking it, she threw the knife aside.

After a while, she dug out half of it. Looking at her hands covered in mud, Lin Cai didn't feel disgusted at all.

If we have a lot of this stuff, we can not only fill our stomachs, but we can also sell it and make a fortune.

Yam can be used as both food and medicine, so even if it can't be sold, pharmacies will definitely buy it.

Sitting on the ground, Lin Cai spent a lot of effort digging out all the yams from the clump.

After she dug them all out, her smile widened even more.

Before, the ones they grew were at most the size of a small cantaloupe, but now the one she just dug out of the ground is a whole big one, even bigger than a watermelon.

Lin Cai lined the basket with some grass, put the yams in, and then covered the hole. She then saw that there were still many yam tubers on the yam vines.

She didn't miss a single one; she pulled them all off and threw them into her basket.

After packing, Lin Cai carried the basket on her back and continued walking forward, wanting to search again to see if there was anything else inside.

We walked for quite a while without seeing a single tree, and just as we were about to turn back, something moved in the grass.

Lin Cai stopped where she was. The sounds from the bushes continued. She turned her head and suddenly a wolf's head jumped up.

Then, with a whoosh, the wolf was shot to the other side, and before it could even howl, it was dead.

Lin Cai was startled and wanted to run away, but when she saw the archer, she knew she couldn't escape.

Dressed in black, Gu Zhan leaned weakly against a tree with his eyes closed. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, Lin Cai might have thought he was dead.

Approaching him, she checked his breath and, knowing he was still alive, Lin Cai instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I still leave?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Do you think we can just leave you here and ignore you?"

Gu Zhan smiled silently, but Lin Cai rolled her eyes at him. She didn't want to get involved in troublesome matters, but she wasn't ungrateful either.

He saved her time and time again, so how could she possibly leave him here now!

With a basket on her back and someone leaning on her shoulder, and walking on a mountain path, Lin Cai was having a really hard time walking.
