There was a lot of food in the space, but she didn't have much meat in her previous life because a lot of it was contaminated by zombies. Her food was the reward given to her by a rich man after she rescued him.
After dinner, Tong Wen Yao took the opportunity to enter the space again and found that the vegetables she had planted before had grown out and were green and lush. The radish had also grown quite big. There were also ten bags of corn and twenty bags of potatoes in the villa. After spring, she would buy some land to plant them.
She cut the vegetables in the backyard one by one and placed them in the living room of the villa to keep them fresh. As for the grapes in the backyard, she had tried it and found that they would still rot, but the growth cycle was also fast, and so was the vegetables, so she had to come in regularly to harvest and store them.
After finishing, she took a shower in the space and then went out to sleep. When Qian's mother saw her coming back from outside, she thought she was playing with Qiu Zhen, so she didn't ask.
In ancient times, there was no entertainment once it got dark. She could not sleep because of the snoring sound in her ears. It was better to have her own room. Tong Wen Yao fell asleep in a daze. Second Aunt and Mother Qian felt sorry for Tong Wen Yao, so before Xin'er woke up, Mother Cui took Xin'er to the next room and asked Tong Hong to take care of her.
When she woke up, she was the only one left in the bed. The little snow leopard heard some noise in the room and immediately squeezed in through the crack in the door and ran to Tong Wen Yao. To it, Tong Wen Yao was someone worthy of trust, so it wagged its tail and acted coquettishly towards her.
Seeing that it was getting light outside, she got up and dressed without delay. She wore warm clothes to prevent it from getting cold in the mountains. She then put on the old clothes she had worn during her exile and opened the door to go out.
There was already a fire in the kitchen, and steam was coming out of the stove. Tong Wenyao guessed that something was steaming in the pot. Second Aunt was not in the kitchen. Mother Qian was sitting in front of the stove, lighting the fire. When she heard the noise, she turned around and saw that it was Tong Wenyao. "Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
She took a stool from the side and sat next to Qian's mother to warm herself by the fire. "I can't sleep. Where are Xin'er and the others?"
"Mother Cui was afraid that Xin'er would disturb you, so she took her to her father. She should be waking up now, so I fetched some water to wash her face, and to wash Second Uncle's face as well." Since her husband's death, Qian's mother no longer called Tong Hong "Second Brother". Instead, she avoided suspicion by calling him Second Uncle.
"Is my brother up too?" Mother Qian took two pieces of firewood and put them in the stove to light the fire, then said, "Take Wen Jiang to the backyard to wash up." Tong Wen Yao also got up and wanted to go to the backyard to wash up, but was stopped by Mother Qian.
"They are young boys with thick skin and thick flesh. You go get some hot water here to wash up. The water won't be so cold." Before she could finish her words, Qian's mother took the wooden basin she bought and filled it with water. How could Tong Wenyao let her mother do it? She stood up and took out her wash cup to get some hot water. Just like that, Tong Wenyao came to the backyard with the hot water, but saw that their faces were full of grinning expressions.
Seeing his younger sister also coming to wash, Tong Wenyao made room for her. Seeing the basin of hot water in her hand, while she herself did not have such treatment, she could not help but wonder if she was born by Qian's mother. Of course, the hot water in the basin was finally divided among them.
The sky was already alight, and the birds in the woods began to chirp. Despite the cold weather, they came out to forage. Even a flock of brave sparrows flew into the village to eat the wheat drying in the porch.
After breakfast, Tong Wen Yao took Tong Bo and Wen Yao into the mountains. Wen Jiang and Xin'er also insisted on going, and Second Aunt couldn't stop them. Finally, Tong Wen Yao said that there were old tapirs in the mountains that caught children. Xin'er was so scared that she ran back to Second Aunt's arms and didn't dare to go again.
Wen Jiang still wanted to go, but after Tong Wenyao said she would make him chestnut chicken when she got back, he was less hesitant to go. Tong Wenyao took out gloves for them and put on some to warm her hands. She didn't want to go out in such a cold weather! But fortunately, the sun came out and the weather was not so cold anymore.
"Wen Yao, this way!" Qiu Zhen jumped and waved at the fork in the road, indicating that it would be faster to take this path. Wen Yao was not very familiar with the forest. The last time he went into the mountains, it was Uncle Ping who took him in, so he had no objection to following Qiu Zhen.
Some trees in the forest had already lost their leaves, leaving their branches bare. Occasionally, a crow would fly onto a branch, cawing. People here consider crows to be auspicious birds, and Qiu Zhen couldn't help but feel happy to see a crow as soon as she entered the mountains.
"Wen Yao, it seems that we have gained a lot today. We saw the auspicious bird as soon as we entered the mountain." Qiu Zhen was a talkative person. She chatted with Wen Yao all the way. Seeing that Tong Wen Yao knew so many herbs, her eyes were full of admiration and she immediately turned into Tong Wen Yao's little fan girl.
It was not until Qiu Zhen brought Wen Yao to the forest that Wen Yao was familiar with that Wen Yao led them to the two chestnut trees. Before they even arrived, the ground was already covered with dense chestnuts. Tong Wen Yao gave them gloves when they came, so they were not afraid of being pricked by the chestnuts. Two days ago, she came back by car and asked someone in the county to make leather gloves. They were made of cowhide and rabbit fur inside. They were not prickly at all, but warm instead.
Tong Bo picked up the animals with a sack. Tong Wen Yao planned to go somewhere else to have a look to see if there was any wild game to hunt. When he said this, some people objected and some agreed. The one who objected was Tong Bo, saying that it was dangerous to go hunting alone, especially when one was not familiar with the forest. The one who agreed was Tong Wen Yao, because she also wanted to go out for a walk to see if she could find any wild game to hunt for the little snow leopard!
At this moment, she missed the pair of snow leopards on Shennv Mountain so much! If they could catch good prey for the little snow leopard, Tong Wenyao would naturally be happy to accept it. If Tong Wenyao knew what she was thinking, he would definitely snort and tell her that she was overthinking it.
"Second brother. Since you don't trust eldest brother to go, then trust me to go! After all, I was able to go find them alone before, and I am capable of protecting myself." Tong Wen Yao didn't dare to say that she could take care of her eldest brother's safety, but she could guarantee that she could escape from the beasts. That was because she had space. But if she took her eldest brother with her, what if they encountered wild boars or big insects?
Tong Bo gave her a standard after hearing this: hunting was allowed, but it had to be near them. However, Tong Wenyao was not allowed to go. He had not practiced martial arts during his exile. After settling down, he followed his second uncle to Shennv Mountain. Three days without practice means one day of regression, so he still had to practice their martial arts during this period. He glared at Tong Wenyao fiercely, then looked at her.
"It's good to be nearby. If we encounter danger, we can still get there in time."
After getting approval, Tong Wen Yao acted well on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking that wherever there was game, there would be her. If she couldn't defeat the beast, couldn't she just give it a dose of poison?
