My Ancestral Jade Pendant is a Space, No Panic During the Famine

Yu Qingqing was a professional woman from a modern, high-tech developed era who transmigrated to a fictional ancient era. On her way back from a business trip, she encountered a landslide and was t...

Chapter 14: The Situation in the Youth Hostel Mountain

"Oh! We finally got here. Dad, let's take a break first! My feet are not feeling well and I'm a little tired after walking for such a long time."

Yu Qingqing sat on the dry, hard ground without any manners. She took out the water from her backpack and handed it to Yu Qingshu before she started drinking.

"My girl, is your foot okay? Do you want me to watch over it for you? Take a look for yourself.

It's good to take a break. Remember, if you go into the mountains and there is danger, you must hide. Don't worry about Dad."

Yu Qinghai was still a little worried about his daughter at this time, and he said it again without getting tired of it.

These words made Yu Qing feel really warm in her heart. Before she traveled through time, she had not received much love from her parents.

Unexpectedly, I came to ancient times and met such a good family, and harmonious siblings.

With parents who love her so much, Yu Qingqing feels that she is really lucky.

"No need to look, Dad is fine, don't worry. I remember, I will hide if there is danger, and have you forgotten?

When I was a kid, I learned a few moves from my grandfather. After all, he was a martial arts master who had taught others, so it was natural that I wouldn’t be bad if I learned from him.”

Yu Qingqing suddenly remembered that the original owner's grandfather had indeed taught her some boxing and kicking skills.

The original owner's grandparents lived in a village called "Hucheng" which was about an hour and a half away from Shuihe Village by ox cart. There were more than ninety households living there.

It’s just that the village chief is not an easy person to get along with and he likes to take advantage of others.

Life at Yu Qingqing's grandparents' home wasn't easy either. After hunting, they had to find time to talk about fleeing famine, and it would be best if they could flee together.

Yu Qingqing's grandparents had long since passed away. One of Yu Qingshu's brothers lived in the prefectural capital, with whom he had little contact. He also had a sister who had married out and lived quite far away, so they rarely contacted each other.

"Hahahaha, those were just fancy moves. You still remember them!" Yu Qingshu laughed somewhat unethically at this moment.

Looking at my daughter's serious expression, I'm really afraid that she might not hide from danger, but instead think she has some ability and show off. That's not okay.

She has to be hit a little to prevent her tail from getting too high up in the sky.

"I know, Daddy!" Seeing his father making fun of him, Yu Qingqing did not refute.

It's no use talking about it, everything depends on what you do. She is a person who speaks with actions.

After resting for a while, Yu Qingqing patted the dirt off her butt and stood up to continue walking. Yu Qingshu felt embarrassed to see his daughter behave so unpresentably.

When did my daughter become so careless about her image? Well, it’s not Yu Qingshu’s fault for thinking this way. After all, the original owner “Yu Qingqing” was a weak “little lady”!

Yu Qingqing felt her father's gaze from behind, and alarm bells suddenly rang in her heart. Could it be that he discovered something?

Feeling guilty, she decided to be careful in the future to avoid being exposed.

The two of them walked one after the other, and the path up the mountain was relatively easy to walk on. Probably because there were many people walking, the path didn't look messy.

Yu Qingqing looked carefully as she walked. There was still a lot of grass on the roadside, about a third of which had withered and turned yellow. Finding herbs shouldn't be difficult.

The trees on the mountain are not very tall, probably because the soil on the outskirts is definitely not as good as that in the deep mountains.

There are "various trees such as cypress, ash, torch tree, Podocarpus, etc." on the mountain. They seem to be growing well. Basically, these are the only trees Yu Qingqing knows.

There are also many "Sanwei Kui and Turtle Back Leaves" plants growing next to the trees and there are also many of them along the mountain roads.

Maybe this kind of grass is not picky about the soil, it grows very well and looks quite green.

Yu Qinghai looked at his daughter, looking left and right, thinking she was just curious and didn't pay much attention to it.

He always paid attention to the movements in the mountains to see if there was any harvest.

"Hey, that looks like a herb. The leaves on top are pointed, and there are small purple flowers underneath the leaves. It seems to have thorns."

Yu Qingqing saw a large patch of grass with small purple flowers on the left side of the mountain road and was about to go over to take a closer look. However, just as she reached out her hand, she was stopped by her father.

"Qing'er, what are you doing? There are many thorns on this wild grass, be careful not to get pricked by it. Don't touch it. If you want to pick it, dad will pick it for you."

Yu Qingshu was also shocked when he saw his daughter's actions, fearing that she would accidentally hurt herself.

"Here, I'll give it to you. What's so good about this grass? Is it just an herb? Who would want it if it's so prickly?"

Yu Qingshu asked Yu Qingqing with doubts.

"Dad, I smelled it and this is a herb. It's called motherwort and it's very useful for women."

Yu Qingqing happily began to prepare to pick motherwort.

"Motherwort? Never heard of it! Can this really be exchanged for silver?" Yu Qingshu still found it hard to believe.

After all, I often saw this kind of grass before, and when I suddenly knew that it could be exchanged for silver, I felt like I had missed out on a lot of silver, and I felt heartbroken!

Although he had some doubts, since his daughter said it was useful, there must be no problem, so Yu Qingshu also joined the picking ranks.

Because the thorns of this "Motherwort" are quite prickly, picking it is a bit slow.

After less than half an hour, the backpack was finally filled.

"Okay, I'll pick this many for now, and come back later when I have a chance. I don't know what the price is at the pharmacy, and I don't know if they will buy the fresh ones."

Yu Qingqing still knew that it was enough. After all, there must be more than just these herbs in the mountains!

"Okay, carry me on your back and keep going forward. Go ahead and see if there is any prey in the pit and fall in!"

Yu Qingshu took the backpack and continued walking forward.

"Daddy, look, there are two pheasants in there, they look quite big."

Yu Qingqing was walking in front and happened to see two pheasants in the hunting pit. Fortunately, they were not dead, but just slightly injured.

"Well, it's really good. There are actually two pheasants. After we finish eating the steamed buns, we can roast one to eat." Yu Qingshu said happily while looking at the pit.

Soon two pheasants were taken out, each weighing about three pounds.

It was not small in size. Then I tied it up with two straw ropes and hung it on both sides of the backpack.

"It's getting late, let's take a break and eat something before we go on. We'll go take a look around later, but don't go too far yet.

Rest in the outer area tonight, it’s relatively safe, and then go to the inner area tomorrow morning to have a look around.”

As a frequent visitor to the mountains, Yu Qingshu naturally understood the surrounding situation, so he made clear arrangements.

"Okay, Daddy. Here are the steamed buns and water." Yu Qingqing took out the steamed buns and water, and the father and daughter began to eat. The steamed buns were made of corn and were a little hard.

It can't be compared with the soft big steamed buns that Yu Qingqing had eaten before.

There was no other way but to make do with it. I took a bite and drank a sip of water before finally finishing a steamed bun. I couldn't eat any more.
