"Women are such a hassle."
Gu Changshu stood on the hillside watching the three dawdling figures and sighed with an air of maturity.
What should have been a 20-minute walk took them an hour.
If this continues, it'll probably be dark by the time we finish eating the barbecue.
"Let's stay here."
Gu Changshu, who had finally waited for the three of them to come up, pointed to this relatively flat area.
"There is a small lake in the depression on the left, which is convenient for fetching water. There are many dead branches on the right, which is convenient for collecting firewood. There are also some newly grown mushrooms and wild vegetables nearby."
Having spent his childhood in the mountains, he was quite experienced in picnics.
“Okay, Changshu, take Xiaoxiao and Chuchu to see if you can catch any fish. I’ll go see if I can hunt some wild game nearby.”
After assigning the tasks, Ruan Qiushui turned and walked forward.
There is a grove of trees on the slope to the right, and there are many loose stones as you walk up the steep slope.
Seeing that the flat ground was no longer visible, Ruan Qiushui quickly released a chicken and a rabbit and tied them up with vines.
"Oh dear, here's a wild beehive."
Ruan Qiushui looked up and saw a huge beehive hanging on a tree branch not far away.
"I haven't had honey in a long time."
There is also honey from farmed bees in the space, but it is far inferior to this wild honey.
Ruan Qiushui looked around, picked up a large tree branch, and with lightning speed poked the beehive, instantly teleporting it into her spatial dimension.
She wouldn't be stupid enough to poke around outside; that would be asking for trouble.
"Roar roar roar".
Just as Ruan Qiushui was using her mind to instruct the processing plant to extract honey, a roar came from somewhere.
"My God! A giant bear!"
Ruan Qiushui looked behind her and saw a large brown bear with white chest fur running angrily toward her.
"Roar roar roar".
Give me back my food rations.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a bear this close up."
This trip was definitely worth it.
At this moment, all Ruan Qiushui could think about was braised bear paw and steamed bear paw.
Forget it, that's too cruel.
"Third Sister-in-law, where are you?"
"Third Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Gu Changshu and the other two panicked when they heard the roar of the wild beast and rushed to find her.
"I'm fine, don't come up."
Once she's on stage, she can't cheat anymore.
"Third sister-in-law, don't lie to me, I'm coming to save you right now."
Gu Changshu mustered his courage and headed towards Ruan Qiushui.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Yang Chuchu followed closely behind.
"Bang!"
A stun gun suddenly struck, and the large bear, which hadn't even gotten close to Ruan Qiushui, fell straight to the ground.
"puff."
Ruan Qiushui fanned away the withered leaves and dust that were flying up in front of her.
Luckily she dodged quickly, or she would have been crushed by the bear.
"Third Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Gu Changshu scrambled over to Ruan Qiushui's side and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright.
If anything happened to my third sister-in-law right under his nose, my third brother would beat him to death!
What could possibly be wrong with me?
Just before Gu Changshu arrived, Ruan Qiushui immediately transferred the bear into her spatial dimension.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain how she managed to defeat the bear with her bare hands.
"Third Sister-in-law, what was that sound just now?"
Gu Changshu clearly heard the sound was very close, so how come he didn't see any wild animals at all?
"I don't know, maybe some wild animal just happened to pass by."
Ruan Qiushui touched her nose.
"Third Sister-in-law, did you catch all of these?"
Gu Changshu only noticed the rabbit and pheasant next to Ruan Qiushui at this moment.
Third Sister-in-law is amazing! Her hunting skills are almost as good as Third Brother's.
"Let's go get something to eat."
Ruan Qiushui walked in front, while Gu Changshu followed behind carrying a rabbit and a pheasant.
"Ah Qiu/Third Sister-in-law, thank goodness you're alright."
Yang Chuchu and Gu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changshu return safely.
"Changshu, I'll leave the chicken and rabbit killing to you. We'll make chicken stew with mushrooms and cumin roasted rabbit later."
The three girls present, including Ruan Qiushui, probably didn't dare to take out a knife, so they had to let Gu Changshu do it for them.
"Alright."
This is not a difficult problem.
Gu Changshu picked up the rabbit and pheasant and walked to the left.
The smell of blood from killing pheasants and rabbits was too strong and might attract wild animals, so he had to go further away and bury the blood while he was at it.
"So what are we supposed to do?"
Yang Chuchu looked at her hands, unsure of what she could do.
She had just finished fishing and was responsible for watching from the lakeside, but she didn't catch anything.
"I'll build the stove."
Ruan Qiushui found a good spot and prepared to collect some stones nearby.
"Xiaoxiao, go pick some mushrooms and bring them back. Chuchu, go wash the earthenware pot and fetch some water, okay?"
Someone as lazy and ignorant as Yang Chuchu wouldn't know how to build a stove if you asked her to.
If she were asked to pick mushrooms, she feared she wouldn't live to enjoy them.
Although fetching water requires some strength, it doesn't require any skill.
"Alright then."
Yang Chuchu nodded, picked up the pottery jar, and headed towards the lake.
She has a very clear understanding of herself, and that's the only thing she can do.
Gu Xiaoxiao also went to pick mushrooms.
Ruan Qiushui remembered that there were loose stones on the slope she had just passed, so she quickly turned back.
"Ruan Qiushui, I've finally caught you."
A male voice suddenly rang out.
Ruan Qiushui was picking up stones when she suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind her.
"Wow!"
Ruan Qiushui gripped the stone in her hand and struck, hitting the newcomer directly on the forehead.
"Ruan Qiushui, you dare to hit me?"
Lai San, clutching his bleeding forehead, lunged at Ruan Qiushui again with vicious intent.
He's determined to take care of Ruan Qiushui today, let's see if she still dares to be arrogant.
Are you out of your mind?
Last time, three grown men couldn't do anything to her, but this time she can handle it all by herself?
No, that's not right. They're not just targeting themselves; there must be others around them.
"Oh no, Chu Chu and Xiao Xiao."
Ruan Qiushui pulled out her stun gun and stun Lai San, then turned and ran downstairs.
…
"Ah, help!"
Gu Xiaoxiao was picking mushrooms when she saw the ferocious Wang Dashu appear before her, and she trembled all over, as if a nightmare had descended upon her.
"Shut up, or I'll snap your neck if you shout it again."
Wang Dashu stared at Gu Xiaoxiao with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could devour her alive.
If it weren't for those two wretched women, Ruan Qiushui, would they have ended up as homeless dogs?
After being driven out by the Red Flag Brigade, they went to several nearby brigades hoping to settle down, but none of them were willing to take them in.
Driven by hunger and desperation, they secretly fled to town. By day, they hid in dilapidated, drafty houses, and by night, they survived by stealing and rummaging through garbage cans.
Until they met Brother Ba, who was willing to take them in.
Brother Ba led them to a state-run restaurant where they ate until they were stuffed, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy several sets of decent new clothes. He also arranged comfortable and warm rooms for them, along with a considerable amount of pocket money.
As long as they help Brother Ba with his work.
