Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

Seeing that they had dug enough, the two continued to walk further in.

[Host, stop! There's an injured rabbit in the bushes opposite you.]

Jiang Qiao was delighted; it seemed the skill was still useful. However, she didn't plan to go and catch it. If Jiang Qiao caught it, the Jiang family definitely wouldn't eat it this time.

"Xiao Chuan, did you hear anything?"

Jiang Yanchuan looked puzzled: "No!"

Jiang Qiao squatted down and pointed to the bushes Wangcai had mentioned, "It looks like that. It might be a pheasant or something. Can you go take a look? I'm afraid of birds."

Jiang Yanchuan didn't think anything of it; he hadn't heard any noise at all. However, he still carefully walked over and gently parted the grass.

It was a gray hare with a limp front leg. Jiang Yanchuan's thin face lit up with surprise. He didn't care about being happy and pounced on the hare, grabbing it by the neck.

Jiang Yanchuan, carrying the rabbit, swallowed hard and said happily, "Sister, look! It's a big wild rabbit! We're so lucky!"

Jiang Qiao smiled and agreed, "Yes, Yan Chuan is really amazing!"

"No, if my sister hadn't told me to go over there, I wouldn't have been able to catch this rabbit either, so my sister is really good."

"Haha, then we're both awesome!"

The rabbit kept struggling in Jiang Yanchuan's hands. It was very fat, and Jiang Yanchuan could barely hold it. Jiang Qiao quickly took the rabbit and neatly threw it onto the tree. The rabbit finally stopped moving.

[Host, you are so cruel. How could you kill it by throwing it?]

Jiang Qiao: [But...didn't you tell me where it was? You're an accomplice~]

Wangcai: ...Waaaaah, it's my fault that Rabbit died (|-|)

As Jiang Yanchuan watched Jiang Qiao expressionlessly smash the rabbit to its death, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Sister, you're still better."

Jiang Qiao: ...

Now that they were halfway up the mountain, Jiang Qiao was afraid something might happen, so she decided not to go any further and prepared to go down the mountain.

As soon as Jiang Yanchuan lifted his foot, he saw a red thing behind the big tree where Jiang Qiao had killed the rabbit. He walked over and parted the weeds, and there was something that looked like a mushroom.

"Sister, what is this?"

Jiang Qiao was already walking ahead when she heard the child call her. She turned around and saw him squatting by the tree, observing something.

She went over to him. "What's wrong?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was dumbfounded to see a Ganoderma lucidum standing there upright.

"Sister, this thing looks really valuable. Should we take it back with us?"

Of course I want it, silly child! Why not bring it home and let someone else get rich?

Jiang Qiao didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She, who had the skill of making a lucky charm, was no match for this child's casual glance.

[Host, there's nothing we can do; some people's luck is just unpredictable.]

Jiang Qiao looked at the silly boy and said earnestly, "Xiao Chuan, this is a Ganoderma lucidum, it's very valuable. We need to be careful when we dig it up. When we get home, we should give it to your older brother. Don't tell anyone except your family, understand?"

This matter must not be known to others. The Jiang family already has a bad reputation, and now that they have the Ganoderma lucidum, their living conditions will be much better. One must always be wary of others; some people are just envious and can't stand seeing others do well.

Although Jiang Yanchuan didn't understand, after hearing Jiang Qiao's words, he knew it was a good thing.

Jiang Qiao first patted the Ganoderma lucidum to disperse the spores, hoping it would grow again in the future.

Jiang Yanchuan dug very carefully, and in the end Jiang Qiao lent him a handkerchief to wrap the Ganoderma lucidum.

Jiang Qiao placed the Ganoderma lucidum at the bottom of the basket and covered it with wild vegetables she had dug up. She let Jiang Yanchuan carry the rabbit by hand. She wanted others to see that the Jiang family was getting better step by step.

Before long, Jiang Qiao led Jiang Yanchuan to the foot of the mountain. They had a fruitful day, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

Stone Village is bordered by a large river to the north. It was the busy farming season, and many people were washing their faces by the river, while others were splashing around in the water.

The sun was still scorching hot, and Jiang Qiao sighed that it was much cooler in the mountains.

Jiang Zhouye was also there. He saw Jiang Qiao carrying a basket on her back and Jiang Yanchuan carrying a wild rabbit in his hand, and guessed that they had gone up the mountain.

Jiang Yanchuan also saw his older brother and was a little scared. He quickly hid behind Jiang Qiao, since he had sneaked into the mountain.

Jiang Qiao noticed Jiang Yanchuan's hiding movements, stared intently at Jiang Zhouye, and gave him a fake smile.

Jiang Zhouye looked away and continued talking to the person next to him.

Zhao Gang and Jiang Zhouye grew up together. He lost his parents when he was young and grew up with Grandma Zhao. His family was poor, and in order to make a living for his family, he followed Jiang Zhouye to the black market to sell things, mostly wild animals from the mountains.

The village has its own rules: small items hunted in the mountains can be taken home and processed by the villagers themselves, but large items, regardless of who hunted them, must be shared among everyone.

Jiang Zhouye was a capable man. Back then, he was young and impetuous and didn't understand the intricacies of the village. The first time he hunted a wild boar, he excitedly handed it over to the village, where Lin Dahai distributed it.

In the end, all that was given to the Jiang family was pig offal. It was then that Jiang Zhouye realized that the person who had been targeting the Jiang family all along was none other than the village chief, Lin Dahai.

Later, Jiang Zhouye started doing black market trading. He had money, but his parents didn't agree with him doing it. Except when the family was starving, he never took money out of the house. Over the years, he also brought Zhao Gang along to do it, as having more people made things much easier.

Zhao Gang was very grateful to Jiang Zhouye for bringing him along. "Brother Jiang, let's meet at the usual place tonight."

Jiang Zhouye caught a wild boar piglet last night and plans to sneak it into town tonight; he needs several helpers.

"Well, be careful."

Zhao Gang lowered his rolled-up sleeves. "Don't worry!"

-

Jiang Qiao returned to the Jiang family and began to process the wild vegetables. She washed the wild vegetables, blanched them in a pot, took them out and chopped them, added salt and a small amount of lard, stirred them, and finally mixed them into the fermented dough, shaping them into balls and letting them rise in a pot.

She wasn't very good at handling wild rabbits, so she simply hung it on the wall.

Looking at the time, Jiang Yanchuan went to start a fire and steam wild vegetable dumplings.

Jiang Qiao went back to her room to change her clothes, then went to the yard to wash her dirty clothes. She was washing her pink panties when the yard gate was pushed open.

Jiang Zhouye is back. He's changed jobs, and the work is much easier. He'll be going out again tonight and will be back a little earlier than usual.

As soon as he entered, he saw the woman sitting by the water vat. He walked over and prepared to wash his face.

When Jiang Qiao saw the man approaching, she immediately put down what she was holding and pretended to be nonchalant.

Jiang Zhouye sensed Jiang Qiao's stiff movements and looked down at something with lace trim. Realizing something, he felt a flush on his face and, forgetting to wash his face, turned and left.

Wangcai, always eager for drama, exclaimed: "Host, he saw it."

Jiang Qiao's face flushed red: [I don't need you to tell me.]

Wangcai: [Oh.]
