At night, Chen Changyuan went to the well to fetch water himself and boiled water for his mother to wash her feet.
Fang Suxia said "what a waste of firewood" but her face was full of smiles.
After washing her feet, she lay down early and fell asleep with tears of joy in her eyes.
The next day, Chen Changyuan got up very early.
Fishing is only a temporary solution. If you really want to save money, you have to hunt.
But there is no need to tell my mother now, so as not to worry her.
"Mom, I'm going to take a walk by the river."
Chen Changyuan picked up a bamboo basket and said to Fang Suxia who was pasting stickers.
"Go, go, don't go too far, come back early for lunch."
Chen Changyuan walked out of the door, but turned and went to the back mountain.
I learned a lot of survival skills in the wild in the army in my previous life, so making traps and catching rabbits and pheasants should not be a problem.
Wild game from the mountains is a rare delicacy that can fetch a good price on the black market.
The back mountain is densely wooded.
Chen Changyuan carefully observed the surrounding environment, looking for a suitable place to set the trap.
“This place is nice.”
Chen Changyuan stopped beside a bush.

"See if I can get some herbs," he muttered to himself, frowning slightly. "Those Panax notoginseng and honeysuckle my mother mentioned are valuable things, and they're very popular on the black market right now. Not to mention selling them for money, even if I could just boil some medicine for my mother when she's sick in the future, I'd feel more at ease."
He lowered his head and carefully observed the grass at his feet, afraid of missing something, but before he found the herbs, he suddenly smelled a strange odor.
A bit bloody.
Chen Changyuan's heart tightened and his gaze immediately turned in another direction.
His footsteps were so light that they made almost no sound, and he quietly took a few steps following the smell.
When he peeked out from the edge of a bush, he was stunned.
The thing leaning against the tree was not a hare or a pheasant, but - a woman?
