Chapter 9: Going into the mountains and hunting sika deer
Chen Xinghai suddenly raised his head, the shock in his eyes could not be concealed at all. He couldn't remember how many times he was shocked today. His mother always managed to give him surprises!
"Mom, can I really recover?"
He asked in disbelief, his voice trembling.
"Yes, it will take about half a month."
Xiao Ying nodded and treated him every day, around this time.
If she were stronger, one day would be enough.
However, Chen Xinghai was already overjoyed. It was only half a month. He had been through more than ten years, so this little bit of time was nothing.
"Thank you, mother!"
At this moment, Chen Xinghai was extremely excited, and his vigilance and suspicion towards Xiao Ying completely disappeared.
My mother is so powerful, it would be very easy for her to do anything she wants to them, there is no need to do this.
This only shows that mother is really good to them.
"Stretch out your feet." Xiao Ying said.
Chen Xinghai's face suddenly turned red. His feet were very dirty. He got a lot of mud on the mountain today and he hadn't washed them yet.
Xiao Ying did not despise him. He stretched out two fingers and placed them on the injured area, slowly transferring spiritual power to him until the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.
"That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."
She withdrew her hand, and in a few days he should be able to walk more smoothly.
"Thank you, mother."
Chen Xinghai was deeply moved and felt that the injured part of his foot was much relieved.
Xiao Ying waved her hand. She helped Chen Xinghai heal his injuries so that he could do more in the future.
Since you have decided to live a good life here, you have to train your own people. Who can be closer to you than your children?
She was able to establish such a large sect in her previous life, so why can't she do it in this life?
At noon that day, the three of them had a delicious meal. Chen Xinghai and his sister were so happy that their mouths were full of oil and they wanted to cry.
Xiao Ying didn't let them eat too much. After all, they had been hungry for a long time and their stomachs had problems. Eating too much rashly would be bad for them.
After the meal, the brother and sister dealt with the remaining game. After all, it would go bad if left for too long in this weather.
Xiao Ying entered the space and cut a field of rice. He had almost eaten all the rice from yesterday.
This time she harvested nearly one mu of land, about 100 kilograms, enough to eat for a while.
She gave some to the two of them to deal with, and temporarily piled the rest in the cabin to be taken when needed.
I dug up a few hundred pounds of potatoes and piled them up. I'm going to go to town tomorrow to see if I can do some business with them.
After finishing all this, she drank another cup of spiritual spring water and then meditated to restore her spiritual power.
When I came out again, only about an hour had passed.
Seeing that it was still early before dark, she decided to go into the mountains again to see if she could hunt something more.
She now owes money to the gambling house and has to find a way to redeem her two children. In addition, she has to buy land and build a house. There are many places to spend money, and a hundred taels of silver is not enough. She has to find a way to earn more.
"Mom, are you going out?"
Seeing her walking out, the two men who were cleaning up the bloodstains in the yard came over immediately.
"Well, let's see if I can hunt anything more. I want to go to town tomorrow." Xiao Ying did not hide it.
The brother and sister looked at each other, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
Finally, Chen Xinghai asked, "Is it to pay off the gambling debt?"
“That’s just one aspect.”
"sorry……"
The two of them hung their heads in shame. It was clearly their ex-mother who owed the debt, but they asked their current mother to pay it back.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "You haven't done anything wrong to me. If anyone should say sorry, it should be the old Xiao Ying who should say sorry to you. As for me, since I have inherited this body, it also means I have inherited all of her karma."
So she doesn't complain, but works hard to solve the problem.
The brother and sister were moved and admired their mother. She was really amazing, or rather, powerful.
"Take good care of the house. I'll be back soon."
Xiao Ying gave some instructions and left the yard.
"Brother, I admire my mother."
There was a hint of excitement in Chen Xingyun's eyes. It was the first time she admired someone so much, like an admirable mountain.
"Um."
Chen Xinghai nodded in agreement. His mother was different from the others here. She was strong, open-minded, and unquestionable. Their mother was a strong person.
He not only admired them, but also yearned for them, and hoped that he could grow up to be such a person.
Xiao Ying had no idea what the two were thinking. This time, she went into the mountains with ease and killed a few rabbits and pheasants along the way, keeping them all alive.
If these things are kept in the space, there will be a constant supply of wild game to eat in the future.
Before we knew it, we had gone more than ten miles deep into the mountains, much farther than we had walked in the morning. Even hunters rarely came to this distance.
Unfortunately, no large prey was encountered.
Just as he was about to go back, Xiao Ying suddenly heard a light deer cry not far ahead.
She had an idea and immediately walked towards the source of the sound, deliberately walking lightly.
After walking a hundred meters, I heard the sound of rushing water, and then I saw a river.
The river is quite wide, at least thirty or forty meters, and the water is very clear, as if it comes from the depths of the mountains, flowing happily.
However, there is no memory of this river at all, as if the people of Chenjia Village have never seen it in all these years.
The water sources for Chenjia Village come from well water, pond water, and a small river two miles away.
But the river is really small, only five or six meters wide, and it will dry up during years of severe drought.
She thought to herself that the small river was probably a branch of this river.
At this time, on the other side of the river, a sika deer was drinking water by the river. From time to time, he looked up and around, showing great vigilance.
Xiao Ying finally understood why there were so few large beasts. It must be because they were blocked by the river and couldn't get across.
Seeing that the sika deer was about to leave after drinking enough water, Xiao Ying stretched out his hand and a set of bow and arrows suddenly appeared in his hand.
There was no need to aim deliberately when drawing the bow and arrow. It was as if he had done it countless times, and the long arrow left the string in an instant.
In an instant, a silver-white light streaked across the sky and attacked the sika deer on the opposite bank at lightning speed!
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Just as the deer was about to run into the jungle, an arrow whizzed over and hit its hind leg.
“Yo…”
A scream was heard, and the sika deer was thrown to the ground by the huge force. The arrow pierced its entire hind leg, and the pain made it completely lose its fighting ability.
Then another arrow shot out, this time hitting its neck and killing it completely.
But the problem arose again: the deer was dead, but how could they get it back? There was a river about 30 to 40 meters wide between them.
In just a moment, Xiao Ying had an idea.
She found a dry branch as thick as a bucket. The branch grew straight and was about four or five meters long, making it just the right size to use as a boat.
He then took out a dagger, infused it with spiritual power, and the dagger suddenly flashed with a faint light.
She cut the branches across with a sudden movement, and the branches were cut through like tofu, without any obstruction.
After removing the branches, she threw the tree directly into the river, and it floated lightly on the water, and a simple small wooden boat was completed.
She landed lightly on the tree trunk, her spiritual power flowing through her feet as she headed towards the other side.
When she reached the other side of the river, she first pulled out two arrows. There were only seven arrows in total, and they had to be used in rotation.
Then he went to check on the sika deer.
This deer is not small, weighing about 150 to 160 kilograms, and it is a male deer. The antlers on its head are growing well, probably weighing two or three kilograms.
Xiao Ying was very satisfied. This deer antler alone could probably sell for a lot of money.
She put the sika deer into the space, and seeing that it was getting late, she decided to go home.
Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the town to have a look.
