Boom!

Someone threw something in from outside the yard.

Xu Erhua didn't dare to go over to pick it up, so she went over and knocked on Li Tingyun's door.

After Li Tingyun came out, she heard that something was thrown in. She took out a flashlight and shone it in the yard. She found Heifeng standing next to a stone with a piece of paper tied to it.

Li Tingyun opened the note and saw a line of crooked words written on it: Be careful tomorrow, Zhou Yumei and Qin Shuixiang are plotting against you.

There is no signature below.

"Who could it be?" Xu Erhua asked doubtfully.

"It's most likely Yu Zhenzhen. She is the only one who is closest to Zhou Yumei and Qin Shuixiang now." Li Tingyun speculated.

Xu Erhua nodded and said, "Then let's ignore them tomorrow."

"If they really want to plot against us, they may try again tomorrow if it doesn't work today. Let's wait and see what they come up with. Don't worry too much. Go back to sleep first." Li Tingyun comforted Xu Erhua.

Xu Erhua yawned and went back to sleep.

Li Tingyun walked over, opened the gate of the yard, and took a look outside. The wind was howling outside. If it was really Yu Zhenzhen, it would be unreasonable for her not to accept this favor.

After closing the yard door, she went back to sleep.

When it was almost dawn, Xu Erhua got up.

After a while, Gu Xingwu also got up and was carried back to the room by Li Tingyun. He slept very well in the second half of the night and slept until this time.

Seeing Gu Xingwu getting up, Xu Erhua asked with concern, "Brother Liuli, does your wound still hurt?"

Gu Xingwu shook his head. This little injury was nothing. He just wanted to leave a scar to conceal his identity.

When Xu Erhua heard him say that, she didn't care anymore. She brought in firewood and cooked a big pot of porridge. The leftovers from yesterday were her breakfast today.

After watching Xu Erhua prepare breakfast, Gu Xingwu went to knock on Li Tingyun's door.

Li Tingyun woke up in a daze, opened the door and saw Gu Xingwu looking energetic. She knew that the energy from yesterday was probably gone.

She took his pulse and reached out to touch the blood clot on the back of his head. It seemed to be slightly smaller than before. Although it was not obvious, she still felt it.

"Looks like I have to continue giving you the injection." She murmured, pulling her hand back.

Seeing that she was still thinking about her injury, Gu Xingwu said gently, "Erhua asked you to have breakfast."

"Okay, go wait, I'll be there soon." Li Tingyun replied and closed the door.

After changing into clean clothes, she went to the kitchen to wash up and have breakfast.

Taking Heifeng with him when they went out, when they reached the edge of the bamboo forest, Li Tingyun decided to go through the bamboo forest and take a look at the mountain over there.

"Tingyun, I heard from Brother He Fei that the mountain over there is very dangerous and generally no one goes there." Xu Erhua told Li Tingyun what she heard.

Li Tingyun thought for a moment and said, "The nearby mountains are all similar. Let's go and take a look. If it's too dangerous, we can go somewhere else. We definitely can't go to those places we went to yesterday. If we dig up all the medicinal seedlings, there will be fewer medicinal herbs in the future."

Xu Erhua nodded. Gu Xingwu heard that there was danger and walked ahead with Heifeng.

Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua walked side by side. When they passed through the bamboo forest, they found that a lot of bamboo shoots had grown inside.

"After this period of time, we can come here to dig bamboo shoots again. It is easier to store them after they are dried." Li Tingyun likes to eat dried bamboo shoots very much. They are especially delicious when fried with some pork.

"I like to eat it too. My grandma used to fry bacon for me. It tasted so good." Xu Erhua swallowed her saliva when she thought of the taste.

Li Tingyun patted Xu Erhua on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll fry it for you in the spring. In a few days, we'll call He Fei and go hunting wild boars in the mountains."

"That's great, then we'll have meat to eat during the New Year." Xu Erhua loves eating meat very much.

The two of them talked and laughed as they walked forward. After walking for almost an hour, they finally reached the mountain behind the bamboo forest.

The mountain looked densely wooded. I picked up a lot of mushrooms when I went up the mountain, but I didn't find any medicinal herbs.

After walking up the mountain for a while, I saw a forest. There were not many big trees in the forest and it looked sparse. I didn’t expect to find medicinal herbs as soon as I entered the forest.

"This forest should have these kinds of medicinal herbs. Just dig them up if you like them." Li Tingyun gave them the herbs he had just dug and asked them to dig them as they saw fit.

Li Tingyun and Gu Xingwu looked at the herbs carefully and dispersed after they understood them.

After yesterday's lesson, Li Tingyun and Gu Xingwu didn't dare to bury their heads in digging herbs anymore. After digging for a while, they looked up at Xu Erhua and found that she was a little far away, so they moved closer to her.

At noon, they did not get separated. Not long after lunch, Heifeng brought back a pheasant from somewhere.

The pheasant was still alive. Li Tingyun found some vines to tie up the pheasant and discovered that Heifeng was still biting her trouser leg.

"Could there be another litter?" She touched Heifeng's head.

Awooo...

Heifeng called out coquettishly, and the sound sounded a bit like a wolf.

Li Tingyun patted its head, and it stopped being so proud and walked forward with its tail wagging.

Li Tingyun picked up the chicken and followed Heifeng forward.

After walking a short distance, I saw a group of pheasants running in the woods.

"Am I seeing things? Did happiness come too quickly?" Xu Erhua couldn't believe her eyes.

Li Tingyun felt that this was incredible good luck. Next time she encountered such a good thing, she would have to discuss it with Heifeng first. If these pheasants were raised in the space, they would not lack meat this winter.

"Catch a few and take them away. Don't scare them all away, otherwise we won't have anything to eat in the future." She thought for a while and said.

Gu Xingwu nodded, grabbed two chickens and put them in Xu Erhua's hands, then grabbed another one and put it in Li Tingyun's hands, and caught two for himself, a total of six chickens, which was enough for them to eat for a while.

After catching the chicken, they walked back a little, found a place to build a fire, and burned all the chicken feathers. Then they found a stream, cleaned out the chicken's internal organs, went back and chopped it in half with an axe, padded it with leaves, and put it in a basket.

When they went down the mountain, they cut some pine and cypress branches, put a few of them in the kitchen to smoke chickens at night, and put the chickens away before going out during the day and put them in the room to dry.

I'll stew the other ones over the next few days. Anyway, I picked up a lot of wild mushrooms today, so I can improve my meal tonight.

As for the medicinal herbs, I dug up most of them in a basket. When I went down the mountain, I also dug up a basket of bamboo shoots so that I could take them over later.

"Tingyun, should we take a chicken out?" Xu Erhua felt that the people on the construction site were working too hard and had never seen meat from the beginning until now.

Li Tingyun thought about it and finally nodded: "That's fine. It also makes us look generous, so people won't get suspicious."

"Would you like some mushrooms?" Xu Erhua asked again.

Li Tingyun thought of the note from yesterday and shook his head: "Forget it, so that no one can make a fuss about the mushrooms later."
