Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

The rain outside the cave had been pouring down for three days and three nights without stopping. Shi Wanxia looked at the last bamboo shoot on the stove and sighed softly.

If this rain doesn't stop, once we finish the last of the bamboo shoots, we'll only have biscuits left. But we don't have many biscuits to begin with, and we need to save them for our food when we leave this mountain. We also only have one pack of self-heating rice left.

After hesitating for a while, Shi Wanxia put it away and made do with the fish soup from the morning for lunch. The rain was quite heavy, so she decided to risk going out in her windbreaker to see if she could find something else to eat.

Shen Yanchu's wounds have mostly started to scab over in the past two days, but he still lacks the strength to walk too far or too fast. However, he can move around independently with the help of a wooden stick.

When I changed his dressing yesterday, I noticed that the bruises on his chest had become even darker and were spreading faster than when I first found him. I don't know what kind of poison he had been poisoned with. When I asked him, he wouldn't say.

After Shen Yanchu finished his meditation, he saw the girl sitting by the fire in a daze. The continuous torrential rain in the past few days had made the girl unusually quiet, but she was eating less and less.

After two days of recuperation, there was no sign of recovery in his internal energy; he could only seal the toxins in his dantian.

They are truly ruthless! For the sake of their military power, they colluded with the Marquis of Zhenbei of Yan Yue Kingdom to poison themselves with "Seven Star Tang of Sand Flower". This poison is colorless and odorless, extremely domineering, and can damage a person's internal organs, sever their tendons and veins, and abolish their internal strength and martial arts.

To save his life, he sealed acupoints such as Shenque, Guanyuan, and Yutang, suppressing the poison in his Qihai. Otherwise, he would have already died from the poison. However, the antidote is too difficult to find, and now he only has 10% of his power left, which is not enough to protect himself and that girl. It seems he still needs to find a chance to cure the poison and go back to settle accounts with them.

Shi Wanxia put on her down jacket and, seeing that the rain outside hadn't let up, decided there was no need to wait any longer. She grabbed her knife. Seeing that Shen Yan was still deep in thought, and knowing that the rain was heavy outside and his injuries hadn't healed, she needed to find a way to get some meat.

"Shen Yan, you stay in the cave and watch the fire. I'm going to find something to eat. Your injuries are serious and you haven't recovered yet, so don't wander around. I'll be back soon." Without waiting for his reply, she ran out of the cave and into the rain.

Shen Yanchu watched the girl's retreating figure, reaching out to stop her, but unable to speak. He was the one who had dragged her into this mess; in such heavy rain, a young woman like her had to go out to find food.

This girl has no martial arts skills and doesn't know how to hunt. What will happen if she encounters danger? Shen Yanchu got up, leaning on his stick, and slowly walked to the cave entrance. He looked around but didn't see her.

Although Shi Wanxia's down jacket was waterproof, it wasn't very cold-resistant. She crouched in the grass and saw a small animal that looked like an African honey badger or a common rural dog, black and white, huddled in the rain. Shi Wanxia looked at the little creature and wondered how she could catch it.

Modern laws explicitly prohibit the illegal hunting of wild animals, so hunting is a real challenge for a girl who is physically weak.

Suddenly, a greyish-brown fox leaped out of the grass and pounced on the honey badger like lightning. The squirrel, startled, jumped up and down frantically on the branches, trying to escape.

The fox followed closely, closing the distance to the honey badger step by step, and finally successfully captured it. The honey badger was a bit too heavy, and with its neck broken by the fox, it fell from the branch to the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Wanxia immediately got up, picked up the honey badger from the ground, and ran away. The fox hesitated for a moment, then disappeared into the branches with a few leaps. Shi Wanxia dared not stop for a moment; the fox was trying to steal her food! She had to run fast.

"Shen Yan, I found a honey badger, now we can have meat."

Shen Yanchu saw from a distance that the girl was carrying a black and white prey and rushed into the cave. She sat down to rest. Shen Yanchu slowly walked back into the cave and, by the light of the fire, could see clearly that the prey on the ground was a badger. He sat down beside her, wondering what was going on, since the girl didn't seem like someone who knew how to hunt.

"This little thing is called a 'cha'! That's what Runtu planted! I thought it was a honey badger!" Shi Wanxia looked at Shen Yanchu's handwriting and realized belatedly. She had heard of it in the textbook, but had never actually seen a living one.

Shen Yanchu looked utterly helpless. She didn't even recognize prey, so how had she gotten this badger?

How did you hunt?

After reading it, Shi Wanxia raised her eyebrows triumphantly and, with a beaming smile, recounted in great detail how she found the badger.

Shen Yanchu didn't know how to answer after hearing this. This girl was so lucky. The fox was extremely cunning. Luckily, she ran fast, otherwise how could she have dealt with the fox?

"Shen Yan, I don't know how to handle this. Do you?" Shi Wanxia looked at him with a rare expression of surprise. Shen Yan nodded, and Shi Wanxia eagerly handed him the knife.

Then, he grabbed a basket to pick some wild vegetables, and for safety, he put the folding knife in his pocket. After instructing Shen Yanchu, he excitedly rushed into the heavy rain.

This girl appeared in the dense forest. Although her speech and manner of speaking were somewhat different and the things she used were strange, she made food behind my back, but I had never seen those foods before.

According to her, everything was produced in her country, including this knife, which was not heavy, had a sharp edge, and was made of the fine steel she mentioned.

According to her, her local iron and steel craftsmanship is highly advanced, and the prices are low. Even without much strength now, it would be easy to clean the prey.

If our soldiers also had weapons and armor made of such fine steel, how many soldiers could be spared from dying on the battlefield? According to the girl, she can't go back right now either, otherwise she would definitely go and see the country she mentioned.

Shi Wanxia muttered to herself as she dug for wild vegetables under the big tree. She didn't dare to be picky now; she would dig up whatever she came across as long as it wasn't poisonous.

I dug them up from under the tree a few days ago, just those three kinds. I finally managed to dig a whole basket full of wild vegetables. I stretched and was about to head back when I looked down and saw that the river had somehow gotten over my ankles and was rising rapidly. Oh my god! The water level is rising, is a flash flood going to happen?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She picked up her basket and prepared to go back, but a loud noise came from the mountain to the north. Behind her was a banyan tree that was nearly 15 meters tall. Shi Wanxia struggled to climb the tree trunk with her medicine basket in her mouth. She stood up unsteadily and looked up to see a shocking and terrifying scene.

The mountain torrent roared like a herd of frightened wild horses, the raging floodwaters carrying broken branches and rocks rushing down the valley, constantly surging into the already turbulent river. The thunderous roar echoed through the mountains, unstoppable. Seeing that it was about to rush straight towards her, Shi Wanxia dared not gamble.

Because she was not far from the stream, and the flash flood was a few kilometers ahead of her and would soon reach her, she had to hurry back to the cave. Terrified, she slid down from the tree, and out of fear, her feet quickened their pace.

She was about a kilometer away from the cave. Listening to the increasingly loud sound of the raging flood, and seeing some trees being washed away not far ahead, Shi Wanxia stopped and climbed up a tall pine tree with both hands and feet. The rain was still pouring down.

Shi Wanxia climbed to about 10 meters, with less than a meter of ground beneath her feet. The flood peak had passed, and many broken branches and logs were crashing against the big tree. Shi Wanxia clung tightly to the trunk with her hands, holding onto the basket, afraid that she would lose her footing and fall.

The floodwaters rushed down from the valley to the north and were now raging towards the lower-lying southwest, leaving a trail of broken rocks and fallen trees in their wake. Shi Wanxia was filled with despair; she couldn't swim and dared not go in, but the water level continued to rise.
