There were no legendary wild vegetables, no pheasants flying around, and no wild rabbits suddenly running by.

Instead, the fields were covered with weeds, and the edible wild vegetables had long been dug up by the villagers.

However, Xu Ying was not surprised by this scene at all. In that era, supplies were scarce and everyone couldn't even get enough food. How could they let go of the wild game in the mountains?

However, those who are brave enough can go deep into the back mountain, which is a place that the villagers dare not go to, as it is said that there are man-eating beasts there.

Someone went to the mountains to hunt before and never came out again.

Anyway, it's a scary story passed down by the older generation.

Xu Ying, who had been among a pile of bloody people in the apocalypse, was naturally not afraid, but it was inconvenient for her to go in with the two little ones around.

When they got to the mountain, Shitou warned them like a little adult: "Auntie, Huzi, I'm going to collect grass for the pigs. You mustn't run around, especially in the deep mountains. There are monsters there that will eat people."

When Hu Zi heard that there was a monster that could eat people, he was so scared that his mouth pouted and tears welled up in his eyes.

Xu Ying felt like laughing when she saw her nephew. He was quite good at scaring people. "Okay, go get some grass for the pigs. I'll stay here and watch over Hu Zi. I'm sure I won't go into the mountains."

After hearing her assurance, Shitou left with peace of mind.

After seeing Shitou leave, Xu Ying took her nephew for a walk around.

Xu Ying walked to a small river according to her memory of her previous life, and Hu Zi became excited when she saw the river.

Xu Ying, however, did not allow him to get close to the river: "Huzi, be good and wait here for me. I will see if there are any fish in the river. I will catch some fish for you to eat when the time comes."

When Hu Zi heard about catching fish to eat, he tried hard to hold back his saliva and said, "Auntie, Hu Zi is good."

Xu Ying then walked towards the river. She looked into the river a few times and immediately spotted the fish in the river with her sharp eyes.

The fish are there, but how to catch them is a skill.

She looked at the trees around her, her eyes lit up, and she broke off a slightly thicker branch. Then she took out the knife she carried with her and sharpened one end of the branch into a pointed shape.

He rolled up his trouser legs and slowly walked towards the river holding the branch.

"Aunt, you are not allowed to go to the river." Hu Zi was originally watching Xu Ying cutting branches with curiosity.

But the next second, he saw his aunt going into the river, and he immediately shouted anxiously.

When Xu Ying turned around, she saw Hu Zi running towards her anxiously in small steps.

Her heart warmed.

"What are you doing here? I'm slicing fish for you!"

Hu Zi shook his head, his eyes full of worry, he had not forgotten that Xu Ying had fallen into the river before.

"Tiger doesn't want to eat anymore."

"What's wrong? The river is not deep. I'm fine, aunt." Xu Ying smiled and pinched Hu Zi's skinny little face.

Before, she couldn't swim, so she fell into the river and almost drowned. But now she has come back from the apocalypse and has developed a lot of skills, so nothing will happen to her.

However, Hu Zi refused to allow Xu Ying to go down to the river no matter what. He held Xu Ying's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Xu Ying had no choice but to sit on the shore. Coincidentally, as soon as she sat down, the fish swam towards her in that direction.

Looking at the fish swimming over, Xu Ying couldn't stop smiling. Could it be that the fish liked her? Looking at the happy little fish swimming in the river, she quickly dove into the river, and in an instant a two-pound fish was caught on the stick.

"Hu Zi, look, my aunt caught a fish!" Xu Ying shouted excitedly to the little man on the shore.

After a few more rubs, the other wooden stick that Xu Ying was holding was already hung with three fish.

Hu Zi looked at Xu Ying in shock: "Aunt, there really is fish."

Xu Ying thought he was so cute with his round eyes, so she rubbed his head and said, "You stay here and watch these fish. I'll go check if there are any pheasant eggs or duck eggs in the reeds."

Hu Zi nodded quickly, looking at the big fish on the ground with sparkling eyes.

She had no idea of ​​picking up pheasant eggs, but if she walked around inside a few times, she might be able to find a reason to take some out of the space.

As autumn approaches, the weather is a little cool, and a gust of wind brings a chill.

I don’t know if Xu Ying was lucky or what, but she actually encountered a nest of pheasants.

Looking at the group of pheasants, Xu Ying tried hard to hide his breath, then took out some blades from the space and quickly threw them towards the group of pheasants.

Although her skills were not very good, she had so many ice blades that a large number of them flew out. Several pheasants fell down instantly, and the rest were frightened and flew away with flapping wings.

Xu Ying excitedly ran towards the flock of pheasants and quickly pulled off some reed leaves to tie the three pheasants together.

"Pheasant eggs!" Xu Ying was even happier when she saw the pheasant eggs on the ground while holding the pheasant.

There were eight pheasant eggs in total. It was difficult for Xu Ying to carry them without a basket, so she took off her coat and carefully put all the pheasant eggs into her clothes.

Then he took out ten big duck eggs from the space and put them in his clothes, then ran out towards the reeds.

Hu Zi saw his aunt coming back and climbed up with a smile.

"Hu Zi, let's go find your brother." Xu Ying narrowed her eyes and smiled, picking up the fish on the ground.

Xu Ying acted quickly. These things must not be seen by anyone. The things on the mountain are now collective property, and everyone hides whatever they get.

People would just turn a blind eye to some small prey, but the big ones had to be handed over.

Although her things are small, there are quite a lot of them, and her father is the team leader. If someone sees them and tells others about them, it will have a bad impact.

"Shitou, come here quickly." Xu Ying lurked in the grass near Shitou like a thief.

When Shitou heard the sound, he looked left and right but couldn't find anyone.

Xu Ying saw him coming and reached out to grab his ankle.

"Ahhhhhh, ghost!"

"Shut up, I'm your aunt." Xu Ying said unhappily, her ears were almost deafened by the explosion.

"Hey, aunt, what are you squatting for? You're scaring people to death. If you scare me to death, you'll just end up with me, your nephew." Shitou came to his senses and patted his chest, still feeling a sense of fear as if he had survived a calamity.

He was scared to death!

"Look what this is!" Xu Ying said proudly.

Shitou looked in the direction she pointed and saw the things on the ground. He opened his mouth wide and looked shocked: "Aunt, did you catch all these things?"

Shitou asked without stopping his hands. He took out most of the pig grass in the basket, and then put all the pheasants and fish at the bottom.

Then he spread a layer of pig grass, put pheasant eggs and wild duck eggs on top, and then spread the remaining pig grass evenly in the backpack.

When Xu Ying saw Shi Tou's actions, her eyes were full of relief. She didn't expect this boy to be so thoughtful.

"Aunt, let's go back quickly." Shi Tou couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the pheasant and fish.

Hu Zi was also very greedy. When he and Xu Ying went down the mountain, he couldn't help asking, "Aunt, can we eat meat when we get back?"

Xu Ying held his little hand and said with a smile: "Of course it can be done, otherwise why would we catch it?"

Shitou thought for a moment and said, "You can take it out and exchange it for something else."

Whenever her grandmother had something good, she would exchange it for delicious food or cloth to make clothes for her sister-in-law.

Xu Ying didn't want to exchange things. She had nothing in her space. She used this thing to nourish everyone.

The three of them hurried back home like thieves.
