After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Liu Ji is just a fool, but he is not stupid. It is okay to accompany him while drinking and flatter him.

bet? That is absolutely impossible!

Also, is that figure from behind Qin Yao?

Thinking of these, Liu Ji was completely insomnia.

Especially when I went to the coachman to get living expenses the next day but didn't get a penny, my uneasiness could no longer be suppressed and burst out.

Fortunately, he still has some private property in hand, which can last another half month.

Fan Xiucai never called him again, and he was completely kicked out of their circle.

Afterwards, Liu Ji sent a letter home, but received no reply.

Every night in the dead of night, Liu Ji would feel desolate and desolate that he had been abandoned by the whole world.

So much so that after a night of insomnia, within a few days, his whole body looked as haggard as in a storybook, where demons and ghosts had sucked the essence and blood, which frightened Fan Xiucai and others.

They just stopped playing with him. There was no need for that, right?

Another letter sent from the county academy was delivered to the Liu family's old residence.

Mrs. Zhang received the letter, but she couldn't read any of it, so she had to take it to Erlang who was playing with Jinbao Jinhua under the eaves.

Erlang took a look and said, "Oh, my father sent it to my mother-in-law from the academy."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Then I'll put it away first and give it to your mother later."

Erlang didn't care about this at all and continued to fight Jinbao Jinhua on the ground using twigs as weapons.

Zhang shook her head helplessly, walked into the house and put this fresh letter together with the two letters sent two days ago.

Two days ago, Qin Yao took Dalang into the mountains, and the letter could only be opened when the two of them came back.

Erlang and the twins were sent to the old house by Qin Yao, but at night He or Liu Fei would send them home to sleep.

You have to help feed the chickens and horses at home, and the door locks need to be checked to prevent those sneaking around.

He has never understood Qin Yao's thoughts. If you say you're going to the mountains, why are you taking a child there?

How old is Dalang? Can a nine-year-old boy hunt?

Every time Erlang hears his uncle's words, he has to correct her, "My mother is taking my eldest brother for a practical exercise. This time I won't be hunting, just training."

Of course, if she catches prey, Aniang said she will take it home and give them a snack~

Erlang and the twins both have confidence in their mother-in-law's fighting ability, so this time Qin Yao left home and went into the mountains, their mentality was completely different from last year.

But Dalang's mentality in the mountains is a bit broken.

Qin Yao came back from the county town that day. After feeding the horse and entering the house, she told him: "Get ready, we will go into the mountains the day after tomorrow."

Dalang was so excited that he picked up a hatchet and started chopping firewood in the woodshed. Until the excitement passed, he immediately started to prepare.

"It's hard to come out once you've entered the mountain. You need to prepare flints for making fire, pots for cooking, bamboo tubes, cold-proof items, etc. The last thing you need is your weapon."

“There are a lot of things and limited physical strength, so we need to streamline and streamline again and bring only the essentials.”

Qin Yao taught him step by step how to prepare supplies for going into the mountains. He must bring a pot because the water source is not always clean. Boiling it before drinking can greatly reduce the probability of diarrhea.

At the same time, cooked food can also effectively kill parasites and obtain nutritious and clean food.

There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, especially in this season. It is hot during the day and cold at night, and there is dew in the morning, so it is very necessary to wear clothes that can cover the whole body and are easy to put on and take off.

After you have prepared enough survival materials, you can check the weapons.

First, prepare enough arrows and projectiles.

Carry a hatchet and a dagger with you, one to open the way and the other to defend yourself.

A strong rope is also a necessity, which can be used to tie up prey and save lives at critical moments.

After everything was ready, mother and son each carried a baggage and entered the mountain under Dalang's expectant eyes.

The half hour before entering the mountain was the most strange time. Dalang was carrying a small bag weighing more than ten kilograms and running all the way.

There are only some low shrubs and scattered trees on the periphery, and the road is easy to walk.

Moreover, villagers often enter and have already stepped on the road. All you have to do is follow the road.

The children who entered the mountains for the first time naively thought that all the roads ahead were like this, and did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Therefore, when a large "wall" of vines, weeds, and branches appeared in front of him, Dalang's first reaction was to turn around and say to Qin Yao:

"Auntie, we seem to be going the wrong way. There is no road here."

Qin Yao walked forward with a smile and used a hatchet to split open the vines and weeds that had grown wildly and entangled again after a year. She lowered her head and bent down to get in.

"Follow me, put on your face towel, don't get bitten by poisonous insects." After she ordered, she moved forward another two or three meters.

Dalang's eyes were filled with disbelief. He lifted the scarf that had been wrapped around his neck to cover the lower half of his face, pushed aside the broken branches in front of him, and followed in.

I don’t know how long I walked like this, but my vision suddenly became dim, and there were strange screams in my ears from time to time. Dalang would be startled every time.

His feet suddenly slipped and he fell down. He quickly stretched out his front palms to support the ground, so as not to fall completely.

Wait, a cool, greasy feeling suddenly came from under my little hand.

Dalang's whole scalp went numb, "Auntie!!!"

Qin Yao quickly turned around and rushed down with a sliding step. She picked up the boy on the ground with one hand and raised the hatchet with the other hand and swung it out like lightning. She saw a flash of silver light and a two-finger-wide black snake was chopped into two pieces and hung. On the branches overhead.

The snake's tail hung down and swept across Dalang's face. The boy in Qin Yao's arms stopped breathing and did not dare to breathe.

"This snake is also unlucky. He was sleeping at home, but his nest was destroyed by your slap."

Qin Yao tried to use a teasing tone to let the child relax, but it was of no use.

After this time, Dalang always kept his eyes open to observe the ground and surroundings when he was digging into the grass. He no longer dared to follow Qin Yao in front of him carelessly.

The black snake left a little shadow in Dalang's heart.

Even if Qin Yao repeatedly told him that the snake was non-venomous, snakes in this season were not energetic enough and would not come out of their holes casually.

But whenever they see a long black object, they will stop at a distance and only dare to move forward after confirming it carefully.

Seeing this, Qin Yao had no choice but to cut a long stick for the little guy, "This is called frightening the snake. If you scare the snake away in advance, it will be fine."

As a result, this stick became a talisman in Dalang's heart.

They should be held while eating, held while resting, and mother and son should be held while sleeping in the den at night.

When you go to the hut, you should hold it even more!

Qin Yao took a look and thought, this is not possible. A small snake can be so frightened. Then if he encounters other more disgusting hairless lizards or oversized insects, will he still be able to hunt?

Qin Yao couldn't remember how she overcame her fear of hairless animals in the forest, but she knew that fear mostly came from ignorance.

So I decided to temporarily camp out at the Shanwowo camping site for two days. I led the boy with a stick to poke out all the nearby snake nests and cut them open one by one to show him which type had fangs and which type liked to hunt frogs and mice.

Or, pull out a giant python that is as thick as an adult's arm, cut it into eight sections, and tell it that this kind of python wraps up its prey with its body and then swallows it alive.

Seeing the expression on Dalang's face becoming more and more calm, Qin Yao secretly rejoiced.

As everyone knows, the child has been frightened and numb.

Seeing that his stepmother wanted to take him to poke other bigger snake nests, Dalang took the initiative to throw away the snake beating stick on his third night in the mountain and said decisively:

"Auntie, I'm not afraid anymore, let's move forward."

Now there is nothing else in his body except liver and gallbladder!
