Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Because of her short legs, the little girl was always carried in a basket on her back, except when she went to the toilet.

There's a fork in the road halfway to Qingshangou Village. They should take that fork until they reach its end, which will be their destination for the day.

Because they got up early and moved quickly, by the time they reached the road leading to Qingshangou Village, it was already morning work hours. So they didn't encounter a single person until they turned onto the side road.

The road was in relatively good condition not far from the fork in the road, since it seemed like they intended to build it, but they only managed to repair a small section due to time constraints.

This short section is relatively easy to walk through. Once inside, there's no path at all, and you have to find it yourself. If you've never been here before, you might turn around and leave when you see there's no path.

After Xia Qingshu and Xia Qingyan entered the path, each of them carried a machete. One was for protecting themselves and their families, and the other was to watch out for the small branches blocking their path.

Liu Fangmei took a machete and a stick and quietly tapped them in front of the two of them. Xia Yutang, on the other hand, seemed quite content. He sat in his basket, eating and drinking, and whenever he encountered a branch, he would simply close the lid, creating a small world inside the basket.

"Mom, there's so much dry wood here. Does no one come here to collect firewood?" Xia Qingshu looked at the uprooted branches, her little hands itching to reach for them.

“This place is quite far from the village, and people from the village usually don’t come here to collect firewood. If someone came here to collect firewood, it wouldn’t be so desolate, and there wouldn’t be no path at all. Let’s collect some so they won’t block our way.” She had a jade space to store the firewood, so she wasn’t worried about collecting too much becoming a burden.

Besides, if they can go beachcombing at the beach, they'll need to stay there, and they'll need all this firewood. They can collect it as they go, so it's not a big deal.

I wonder what the sea ice temperature is like now that the weather is so cold? The sea breeze is so strong that it would be impossible to live there without a cave or a sheltered place.

"Mother, where are we going to stay? If there are no caves, where will we stay?" Xia Qingyan judged based on the path they were currently on. After observing, she concluded that this place, which didn't even have a path, must not have been discovered by anyone else, otherwise there would be a path leading into it.

"Yes, there's a small cave where I stayed when I first came here. It's a natural stone cave, but it's a bit damp because it's by the sea. It shouldn't be so damp now, after all, it's been so dry for so long, the seawater must have had some effect, and with the north wind blowing in winter, there's hardly any dampness." Liu Fangmei remembered that before he left, he blocked the entrance to the cave. At that time, he just wanted to keep this place so that if he needed to come back in the future, he could still stay in the cave.

If it weren't for this cave, she might not be alive today. After all, she had to run away from the Japanese invaders with her parents when she was very young.

They later discovered this place by chance. It also saved their family of three from several massacres by the Japanese invaders. However, her parents later fell ill and could no longer travel such a long distance, so she came here alone.

If it hadn't been discovered, there should have been a complete set of daily necessities in that small cave.

He had all sorts of pots and pans, but the pot was an earthenware jar that was broken, though he still had some left inside to cook things.

She collected several bowls that were broken or chipped at home but were still usable. The chopsticks were made by her from wood.

The mother and her two children walked along, picking up anything they could to start a fire. They walked until dark, and they didn't know how far they had gone. Anyway, they knew they couldn't stay in the mountains after dark, because there were tigers, wolves, and giant pythons there.

These were all things they were afraid of, so as soon as it got dark, they found a tree to hide themselves, and Liu Fangmei put the things, along with the child, into the jade space.

After walking all day, her two sons' feet must be sore, so she planned to heat up the spring water in the yard and give them a foot bath.

Having walked all day, Liu Fangmei sent her two sons to soak their feet while she went to the kitchen to prepare something nice for them. They needed to replenish their energy after a long day of walking.

Soon the aroma of chicken soup filled the house, and because of the added herbs, it had a strong medicinal flavor.

Xia Yutang, still asleep, was awakened by the aroma of chicken soup. Inside the space, there were only a few speckled chickens that had been released earlier, and wild chickens that her father had picked up from the mountains.

Several wild chicken eggs were fertilized before, so when we put in a pheasant and a dozen or so eggs, the livestock shed has become much larger in less than a month.

These little wild chickens were really ugly when they were young, much uglier than domestic chickens in their early stages. Their grayish feathers had nothing attractive about them.

Xia Yutang is certain that the chicken soup she made today was made with wild pheasants. The main reason is that her mother treats those speckled pheasants like her own precious treasures, so she certainly wouldn't want to kill them; it would have to be just a few of them, since there are quite a few wild pheasants.

When we first brought them in, there were wild eggs. If all those wild eggs turned into pheasants, our livestock shed would be about to explode.

However, she had collected quite a few eggs before, so the reason they didn't fry was most likely because there wasn't a rooster to mate with.

"Little sister, are you awake?"

"You're awake, Second Brother." Xia Yutang was just worried about not being able to get out, and she was feeling sleepy when her second brother came to bring her a pillow.

She only realized after she finished washing up that the door had been closed at some point, and the doorknob was too high for her to reach.

"Okay, hurry up, I'll open the door for you. Don't stand behind the door." Xia Qingyan heard his sister's voice. They were worried that he might accidentally hurt her when he opened the door, so he gave her some time to tidy herself up before opening the door.

"Honestly, Mom knows you can't open this doorknob, so why did she close the door?" Xia Qingyan muttered to herself as she opened the door, wondering why her mother had closed it.

"Second brother, it wasn't Mother who closed the door, it was the wind. When the wind blew, the door was closed." Xia Yutang quickly explained, after all, she had opened the window a little after waking up, which allowed the wind to close the door.

"Oh, it's just the wind. Okay, I understand. Don't worry..." Xia Qingyan heard her sister's voice and was a little anxious. She quickly reassured her and gently opened the door. She found her sister standing not far away and quickly called her over.

"Have you washed your face? Mom made chicken soup tonight. I just smelled it, it smells so good. Sister, can you smell it too...?" It really smelled amazing. I've never smelled chicken like this before.
