Ye Wenxue heard the steady footsteps following behind her, but firstly, she didn't sense any murderous intent, and secondly, she had finished her work for the morning, so she could go wherever Ye Ai wanted, as long as he didn't get in her way.

The two walked silently, one in front of the other.

Just as they reached the center of the lake, Sui Ye, perhaps itching for a beating, kicked the bamboo basket in Ye Wenxue's hand and sneered:

"So ugly."

Before saying this, Sui Ye was prepared to be beaten and mocked. He even rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight Ye Wenxue again.

But to my surprise, she barely reacted.

"oh."

Ye Wenxue knew, of course, how bad her skills were.

In modern times, she only knew how to do one thing: kill.

Killing with cold weapons, killing with firearms, killing with wood-based supernatural abilities...

At other times, especially in ordinary life, she is a level nine disabled person, only able to cook a few dishes, all of which taste the same, and she only survives by relying on the conveniences of modern life.

It's not that she can't cook; she just doesn't need to waste time on trivial matters.

After transmigrating to ancient times, Ye Wenxue was influenced by the maternal love left over from her predecessor, or perhaps seeing the five children reminded her of her own childhood, which is why she patiently raised the children and took care of them.

However, life was still quite rough.

Fortunately, the children were used to hardship and lived a frugal life for many years, so they didn't feel that anything was wrong.

Ye Wenxue smiled as she thought of her sensible children.

She pretended that no one was following her, bent down, rolled up her trouser legs, and was about to wade into the mud to catch fish and shrimp.

"What are you doing? You...you shameless person!" Sui Ye's attempt to pick a fight failed, and he was incredibly frustrated. After a moment of blank staring, he saw Ye Wenxue's two fair legs. His ears turned red, and he quickly turned his face away.

How could she... how could she be so frivolous and dissolute in front of so many people?!

Ye Wenxue saw that he was strong and healthy and did a good job, so she thought of seducing him so that he would be willing to stay and raise a few children for her.

Sui Ye shook his head in a panic, thinking to himself, "No, he's the one who has to go back to the capital to report. He's the one who has caused the deaths of three fiancées!"

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Wenxue asked suspiciously.

She glanced at Sui Ye's bright red ear tips, as if she were not really looking at him, and felt that he was thinking something filthy.

Suiye shook his head with his back turned: "No, it's nothing."

Haha, nobody would believe him.

Ye Wenxue kicked the person into the lake, creating a huge splash:

"Your break time is over. Hurry up and catch some fish for me, or you'll eat whatever the goose eats today."

What else can geese eat? Just grass, right?

After being kicked into the water, Suiye wiped the water off his face, forcibly suppressing his anger and focusing on catching fish.

—That woman is vicious. If he doesn't catch any fish, she definitely won't feed him.

He doesn't want to eat grass.

Ye Wenxue didn't want to be in the same place as him, so she pulled down her trousers and found a shady spot near the water to sit down.

She submerged the bamboo basket in the nearby water, scooped up a handful of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and poured it over the basket, then casually plucked a wild grass and activated her wood-type ability to use it as a fishing hook.

The spring water gradually merged with the lake water.

Ye Wenxue glanced at Sui Ye, who was occasionally diving into the water in the distance, and then looked away with a sigh.

If Dazhuang weren't small and weak, she wouldn't want to provoke such a big problem as Suiye.

He was in trouble himself, his family was in trouble, and the person who tried to assassinate him was also in trouble.

She's currently addicted to raising kids, so it's not worth the trouble to bring danger upon herself.

After thinking for a while, Ye Wenxue decided to release Suiye as soon as the house was built.

Before long, many small fish swam up to the top of the bamboo basket.

Ye Wenxue remained motionless in her fishing posture.

Her goal wasn't small fish or shrimp; she had a large family, including five children, so she needed to catch a big fish to have enough to eat.

After waiting quietly for a dozen breaths, the small fish swimming above the bamboo basket suddenly scattered in a panic, as if a danger was approaching from behind.

Ye Wenxue noticed this scene and instantly perked up, thinking to herself, "Here it comes."

Sure enough, a fish the size of a bamboo basket swam slowly by, swishing its tail, and after chasing away a group of smaller fish, it took over the lush, vibrant weeds.

The big fish nibbled at the grass quickly, but Ye Wenxue's hand remained firmly gripping the wild grass.

His free hand reached for the wood-chopping knife.

Taking advantage of the moment when the big fish completely lowered its guard and poked its head out to reach for the weeds on the water's surface, Ye Wenxue swiftly slashed the big fish's head with her knife.

Then he quickly picked up the bamboo basket, scooped up the big fish, and threw it onto the shore. No matter how much the fish struggled, it couldn't escape.

Along with the big fish, some small fish and shrimp were also hauled up.

Ye Wenxue didn't put it back into the lake; she planned to use it as an extra meal for the geese.

After the big fish in the bamboo basket stopped moving, Ye Wenxue called out twice towards the lake.

But the lake was very large, and Suiye didn't have the same intelligence as the geese. It took quite a while before she responded, "Wait a moment!"

Su Jiu and Sanyuan, who were assigned to collect herbs, wild grasses and fruits, were attracted by the sound and tidied up before coming to the lakeside.

Both of them beamed with joy when they saw the fish in the bamboo basket.

Sanyuan skipped and hopped over to Ye Wenxue's side: "Mom, I'm making fish soup for lunch!"

Ye Wenxue carefully removed the grass clippings and thorns stuck to his body before speaking:

"Okay, whatever you say. But the fish is a bit fishy, ​​so Mom will have to pick some wild onions and garlic to add to it; it'll taste better that way."

“No need to go,” Sanyuan said, taking off the cloth bag tied to his shoulder and pulling out a few things. “This is wild onion, this is wild garlic, this is ginger, and this is…”

Ye Wenxue patted Sanyuan's head with satisfaction.

"Wait!" Su Jiu suddenly spoke, pointing to a herb with half a leaf sticking out of the cloth bag, "Where did you pick this?"

Sanyuan took out the herb Su Jiu had mentioned and handed it over: "It's right under that cliff over there, there's a huge patch of it, but I don't know if it's edible, so I just picked a few."

Su Jiu suddenly grabbed Sanyuan tightly, his voice urgent: "Take me there quickly!"

Sanyuan was in excruciating pain from being grabbed, and his face was contorted in pain.

Ye Wenxue forcefully slapped Su Jiu's hand away: "Speak properly, don't hit me."

Su Jiu's eyes burned with rage. He suppressed his anxiety and quickly said, "This is why I came here to live in seclusion. My family needs this medicine."

Sanyuan, being a little soft-hearted, looked at his mother questioningly.

Or... should we take him with us?

It's not far anyway.

Ye Wenxue nodded: "Go ahead, I'll catch another fish and prepare it."

Under Su Jiu's extremely grateful gaze, Sanyuan led him away.

Ye Wenxue watched the two leave, then caught another big fish using the same method, and cleaned it by the lake.

Suiye swam back after finishing a bowl of rice, carrying a medium-sized turtle in his hand. The smell of fish and blood made his face fall.

He was soaked to the bone and his face was pale: "My wound has reopened."
