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

When Qin Yao woke up, the rain had subsided and the woods were wet. At first glance, it was all white mist.

In such weather, no one, let alone animals, would go out.

Qin Yao remembered what Old Man Liu had said before that it would rain in the next two days. It seemed that the old farmer had a pretty good eye for the weather.

I just don’t know if it will affect wheat cultivation.

But she couldn't care less about it now. She first picked a rabbit, skinned it, took out the meat, roasted it on the fire, and had it together for breakfast and lunch.

After filling his stomach, he continued to pack up the remaining six rabbits.

In one morning, Qin Yao cleaned up all seven rabbits. The skins were peeled to a high degree of integrity. They were briefly treated with plant ash, and all the meat was roasted together.

You can just heat it up if you want to eat it later, and it is easier to carry around with you. Fortunately, the temperature has dropped, and these roasted rabbit meats should be kept for two or three days, which can be used as her food ration for these days.

Qin Yao has a huge appetite, and her physical consumption is directly proportional to her food intake. If she eats with her belly open, these seven rabbits will only be enough for her for two days.

By noon, the rain stopped completely, and a little sun shone from the clouds. The water vapor on the ground evaporated, and a bad smell was brewed in the forest. Mosquitoes also flew out, and small animals also tried to leave their nests. Walking in the woods.

Qin Yao covered the cave, took weapons, and went to find the water source.

Along the way, Qin Yao found traces of many wild beasts, among which wolves and monkeys were the most common. There was at least one monkey group and one wolf group nearby.

Monkeys are not valuable because the animals are similar to humans. People in Sheng people are very taboo. They don't eat monkeys and they don't actively hunt them.

Most of the wolves are gray wolves. Their meat is not tasty and their hides are more valuable.

But wolves are social animals. If you provoke a pack of wolves without complete weapons and equipment, it is no different than getting killed. Qin Yao avoided the whole process.

During this season, snakes rarely come out of their holes and are rarely encountered.

Qin Yao didn't bother to touch the little snake passing by. Instead, the snake spotted her, got scared and slithered into the grass and swam very fast.

On the way to the water source, Qin Yao shot two arrows and hit a weasel and a roe deer.

After yesterday's practice, she was now very accurate in shooting arrows. She deliberately spared them a breath and didn't hit the vital points. In order to chase the two little guys who were stumbling to escape, Qin Yao also ran a long distance.

Especially the weasel marten, it was small, nimble and very fast. If it hadn't been for the arrow dragging on its tail and being blocked by branches, Qin Yao would have had to chase it even further.

After being captured alive, the little thing showed his teeth and grinned very fiercely. He wanted to bite Qin Yao, but was slapped unconscious by her.

The roe deer was not stupid, but because few people set foot in the deep mountains, it was concentrating on chewing leaves and did not notice the hunter approaching. Qin Yao shot an arrow into its front thigh, and it was so frightened that it started to run wildly.

But it was big in size and had a big target. It was much easier to catch than the squirrel. With a long rope, it fell upside down and was tied back by Qin Yao.

There is no shortage of carrying poles in the forest. Qin Yao cut down a thick branch, tied the two prey to the branch, and carried them to the water source.

This is a small pond naturally formed in the depression in the center of the mountain top. It should be mountain spring water seeping out of groundwater. The water is very shallow and clear, and there are actually fish in it.

There were many traces of small animals drinking water by the pond. Qin Yao put down her burden, found a clean place to wash her face, and tried to catch fish. Unexpectedly, the fish here could not hide and their movements were slow. She could catch them accurately. .

After a while, Qin Yao caught six fish weighing two to three kilograms. They were all strung up with straw ropes and hung on the other end of the pole. They also filled a bamboo tube with water. They could have extra meals tonight.

At dusk, when the wild beasts in the mountains are most active, Qin Yao left the water source early and hid nearby with today's prey to observe the situation.

Two kilometers away from the water source, a pile of fresh feces was found. It seemed that it was left behind when they went swimming after the rain stopped.

Qin Yao may not be able to identify all the crops in the field, but she can tell which animal they belong to at a glance from the feces of various large animals.

This is the feces left by a black bear, and judging from the size of the feces, it should be an adult black bear.

Qin Yao was ecstatic, but also a little worried.

Bears have very sensitive hearing, and in this season, there is plenty of food. Black bears that are fattening up for hibernation generally do not appear, so it is not easy to squat down to it.

But now that its traces have been discovered, Qin Yao does not intend to let it go.

It was getting dark, and Qin Yao returned to the cave with today's harvest. While grilling fish for a snack, she thought about how to lure the black bear to appear.

But God was not kind and it started to rain again in the evening.

And this time, it rained intermittently for two days.

Qin Yao lay in the cave, looking at the struggling spores, weasels and martens, as well as a few pheasants and squirrels that were caught casually, unwilling to go down the mountain like this.

Without hesitating for too long, she decided to stay in the cave and continue to wait for the opportunity.

Four days have passed since Qin Yao entered the mountain.

During the past four days, it has been raining intermittently.

Fortunately, Liu Bai and his two brothers had finished planting the wheat seeds left by Qin Yao on the first day.

If it's even half a day late, the wheat in these two acres of land will be useless.

There was an autumn rain and a cold spell. In just four days, the temperature dropped several degrees.

In the thatched house at the back of Liujia Village, Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang lit a fire in the house, but there was always wind leaking into the house, and it was still cold despite the fire. In the end, the four brothers and sisters, who were wearing thin clothes, moved directly to the bed and wrapped themselves in it. Putting on the quilt and lighting the fire, it felt a little warmer.

The taro left by Qin Yao was gone after half-full meal this morning.

It had been raining outside the house and the ground was muddy. Dalang and Erlang couldn't get out even if they wanted to dig some wild vegetables.

If they get caught in the rain or catch cold, they will have no money to buy medicine and will be dead.

It had been several days since she had seen Qin Yao. Si Niang counted the days on her fingers and asked every day:

"Brother, when will grandma come back?"

Today, after all four fingers were broken, she asked again: "Brother, why isn't grandma coming back?"

Sanlang asked his second brother in a low voice: "Will she not come back?"

Erlang glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, she will be back when the rain stops."

Sanlang was quiet for a moment, then couldn't help but wrinkle his face and said worriedly: "Second brother, do you think she has been eaten by wild beasts?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Siniang cried out: "Oh, oh, oh, Siniang, I don't want my mother to be eaten by wild beasts!"

As soon as she cried, the other three people in the room fell silent.

After three seconds of silence, Sanlang couldn't hold it back and started crying too. He raised his hand to wipe his tears in grievance and said with a choked sob: "Auntie doesn't want us anymore. She must have run away."

Erlang looked at Dalang worriedly, "Brother, did she really run away?"

Dalang looked at the twins who were crying miserably, and then at Erlang who was full of panic and uneasiness. The suspicion in his heart for many days seemed to be confirmed. A sense of sourness and anger at being deceived and abandoned came to his heart, and he was about to grit his teeth and scold him. The younger siblings said not to miss her.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
