This is the difference between Song Tantan's and her aunt's skills. The former's drawback is that putting living things into her space will not end well; they will either die or become stupid. The latter's living things will not be harmed when they are put into her space, but they will be under her control. Also, when she puts food into her space, the space will not keep it fresh.

So every time her aunt secretly put something into her space, Song Tantan had to move it to the supermarket. Well, actually, there's no preservation function in her hometown, so it doesn't matter who puts things in there. Only supermarkets have preservation functions because time is frozen in supermarkets.

The rabbit meat was quickly roasted. It was rubbed with salt before roasting and sprinkled with honey and cumin while roasting, making it very fragrant. The honey and cumin were from the supermarket. Song Zhuiyan told Zhong Qingyi that the honey was picked from the mountains and the cumin was also a spice picked from the mountains.

The latter assumed it was her family's secret spice blend, so he didn't ask any further questions. However, he had been keeping an eye out for beehives while he was in the mountains these past few days, so he could bring back some honey, which was a valuable commodity.

"It smells so good, it's delicious!" Song Tantan took a big bite, her mouth full of oil. "But won't this smell attract other animals?"

Song Zhuiyan paused in her grilling, "That's certainly a possibility. Should we sprinkle more poison around here?"

"No need, what I just sprinkled was enough. No animal will dare to come near." Ye Moxun was very confident in the medicine he had developed.

So everyone stopped talking and started eating heartily. They roasted two rabbits and a pheasant, and finished them all. After they were full, the four of them went into their respective tents.

"Search for two more days. If there's nothing unusual, we'll go back and stop searching." Inside the tent was a door panel covered with a quilt, where Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan lay together.

Actually, Song Zhuiyan and Zhong Qingyi's persistent search for the dog wasn't simply about finding the dog; they were also checking the mountains for large wild animals.

Of course, the main purpose was actually to prevent bad guys from entering the village. The dead body behind the Water Curtain Cave had not been dealt with. On the surface, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about it, but in fact, the villagers, including Lin Fuhai, always kept it in mind.

The sudden disappearance of three obedient dogs was heartbreaking for Song Zhuiyan, but she was also worried that some bad people might have harmed the dogs and then harmed the villagers. Therefore, she had to find out the source of the uncertainty.

This was discussed with Zhong Qingyi and Lin Fuhai beforehand. The three of them agreed that it was necessary to do this, which is why they searched for so long after the three dogs went missing. Otherwise, they would have put the matter aside after a day or two of searching.

He wasn't even the most influential person in the village; everyone only cooperated because of obvious hints.

"Well, we've come all this way and haven't seen any strangers. Apart from the giant python, we haven't seen any other wild beasts either, so we should be safe." Song Tantan burrowed under the covers, leaving only her chubby little face showing.

In the other tent, Zhong Qingyi and Ye Moxun also lay down, but they had dry grass on the ground with a thin cotton quilt on top, and they were covered with a thin cotton quilt, unlike Song Tantan and the others who had everything in their space, and they had thick cotton quilts on the ground and under their blankets.

However, with a fire burning outside the tent and thick clothes on her body, she didn't feel cold. Zhong Qingyi looked conflicted, and even had a suspicious blush on her face.

“Ah Xun, today Miss Song and I were entangled by a python. At the time, I didn’t think much, I only thought about protecting her…” When the python’s body coiled around us, Zhong Qingyi’s first reaction was to hug Song Zhuiyan to prevent her from getting hurt. However, the two of them were entangled together, causing them to stick tightly together. The stronger the snake’s body coiled around them, the tighter they stuck together.

In that life-or-death situation, the two of them had no other thoughts but how to escape. Song Zhuiyan was a person who had transmigrated from the modern era. Although she had never been in a relationship, never married in either of her two lives, and never had any intimate contact with the opposite sex.

But she was open-minded and didn't feel shy or that her reputation was damaged just because she had physical contact with a man and hugged him a few times. She didn't take it to heart at all.

However, Zhong Qingyi was conflicted afterwards. He felt that he had been intimate with Miss Song and had even hugged her, so he felt sorry for her no matter what.

"If Uncle really feels bad about it, why not propose to Aunt Song, marry her, and take responsibility for her?" Ye Moxun was also a modern person, but he was reincarnated, so he understood the etiquette and thinking of the ancients better than others, which is why he said that.

He suggested he bring it up, but then he thought that Song Zhuiyan was a true modern person, and had once been a non-marriage advocate. She was independent and strong, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and very opinionated. Just now, seeing her calm expression, he knew that she didn't care about hugging and kissing in a crisis.

They weren't intentionally trying to hug each other; it was just a situation they were forced to. Why are you making such a fuss? How does that have to do with marriage or taking responsibility?

"Huh?" Zhong Qingyi was taken aback, then her face flushed red. "But Uncle has nothing, how can he be worthy of Miss Song?"

Although he was being self-deprecating, it seemed that if Song Zhuiyan was willing to marry him, he would be willing to marry her. The current situation was that he was afraid she wouldn't like him.

"Uncle's words make a lot of sense. If you want to marry Aunt Song, you must be worthy of her in terms of ability and wealth. So, Uncle, you must work hard to earn money and grow crops so that Aunt Song will be impressed with you," Ye Moxun said, half-jokingly.

Zhong Qingyi: "..." Not only did his nephew not comfort him, but he also seemed to dislike him. What was going on?

"But my uncle is almost ten years older than Miss Song. Will she think I'm too old?" Ye Moxun used to think his uncle was clueless, but he was wrong. He just hadn't met the person he wanted to marry, so he never brought up marriage. Now that he has, he's started to think about it.
