During her time in Yizhou, she was quite busy. She visited Master Du's house several times and always asked him to cook a lot of delicious food for her.
So there's enough food on her farm to last her for a long time.
Liu Shile was even thinking about whether she should try to persuade her second brother to cook more medicinal meals for her at the farm.
As she ate, she nodded. Since her mother wanted them to go to the mountains to collect firewood tomorrow, it was a happy decision. She would let her second brother do more work in the coming days!
As for medicinal herbs and food ingredients, she has no shortage of them. She had already prepared some for the farm back in Yizhou.
To this end, she even went out and bought some seedlings of medicinal herbs that she could find and planted them on the farm. Although they grow slowly, they will eventually come in handy.
After being warned by her mother, Liu Shixi felt reluctant but dared not do anything rash, and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
The main reason was that she also heard her mother crying. Speaking of which, her mother rarely cried, and she didn't know why she was crying so sadly this time.
"Lele, Lele?" In the dead of night, Liu Shile heard her second brother's voice outside the window.
She went to the window and opened it, and saw her second brother looking around. When he saw that she had opened the window, he handed her a clean sweet potato and whispered, "Have a sweet potato to fill your stomach."
Liu Shihua felt sad. Her younger sister was already weak, and now she was going hungry. She would definitely be so hungry that she couldn't sleep.
Sure enough, as soon as he called for his sister, she immediately got up; she must have been starving.
If Liu Shile knew how much he was thinking, she'd probably roll her eyes.
Starving?
She'll never go hungry in her life. It's ridiculous that she'd go hungry with a farm under her belt.
She appreciated her second brother's kindness, so she took the sweet potato and nodded, "Second brother, you should go back to sleep. You have to get up to practice your skills tomorrow morning."
Kung Fu is something you can't neglect. No matter the era, Liu Shile believes that martial arts skills are very important.
In fact, Liu Shile had just been cultivating her mental power. She needed to try to control the farm's land as soon as possible and earn more money to upgrade the farm!
Only after the farm is upgraded will ranches and processing plants appear one after another. She misses the processing plant quite a bit now.
Although processing plants can only produce snacks and treats, not main meals, those snacks are much tastier than sweet potatoes.
Afraid of being discovered by her mother, Liu Shihua quietly agreed and went back to her room. Seeing that no one had noticed, she finally felt at ease and went to sleep.
The next morning, Liu Shihua got up early, first filled the water tank, and then guided her older sister to boil milk and sterilize it.
After breakfast, I took my younger sister and headed into the mountains, also grabbing two sweet potatoes as provisions.
Zhang Sumei had no objection to this, only asking the two of them to bring more firewood home.
Stepping out of her house, Liu Shile felt that the air was even fresher.
Well, the air in this era is naturally fresh, which is what she likes.
Even though we caught the fresh air from the farm, it was still wonderful.
She walked lightly along the mountain path, glancing occasionally at the roadside to see if there were any medicinal herbs.
Occasionally, she would see a wild tree and quietly pluck a couple of branches to throw into the farm, knowing that her second brother wouldn't notice her little tricks.
After walking for about two hours, Liu Shihua said, "Lele, let's gather firewood here. Once we're done, I'll carry it back. You stay here and keep watch."
Although his younger sister was stronger than him, Liu Shihua did not intend to let her carry too much, otherwise the image of her sister being 'in poor health' would not be maintained.
It wouldn't be good to upset Mom, especially since my sister looks healthy, even though Old Master Hua said she's very frail.
Thinking of this, he sighed, "Yesterday I wanted to find a place in the mountains to make you a medicinal meal, but firstly, I couldn't find a good place, and secondly, we didn't have any ingredients."
Liu Shile blinked. So her second brother had the same idea. That was great! She nodded happily.
“Alright, when you’re carrying firewood down the mountain later, I’ll go look around and see if I can find a suitable place.”
Previously, the original owner of this body only cut some thatch and other firewood in the nearby mountains and had never been to these distant mountains.
With her second brother gone, she could take the opportunity to look around and maybe find some good stuff.
Ingredients are such a simple thing; she has them all. She just needs to find a good excuse.
Another thing is that they will be going to study in the county soon, and they can rent a house to do this. They can have their second brother do more work every day, and she can slowly smuggle herself across the border.
Anyway, there's no need to reveal too much; it's better for her to keep some secrets to herself.
Liu Shihua often does this kind of work. Now that she is quite agile and strong, she quickly chopped a lot of firewood and bundled it into a bundle.
"Lele, be careful when you wander around. Don't lose your medicine bag. There are snakes, rats, insects and ants in the mountains. Don't get scared."
Before leaving, Liu Shihua gave one last piece of advice, something he had said several times before.
Liu Shile nodded, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said, "Okay, Second Brother, I understand."
It's just snakes, rats, insects, and ants, why would she be afraid?
Well, okay, the original owner of this body was quite afraid, except for rats, which she had seen a lot of and were no longer afraid of.
"Oh, right, Second Brother, when you go back, bring Miaomiao with you too." Seeing her Second Brother carrying firewood and walking back, Liu Shile thought of her cat.
When they were leaving, the cat disappeared somewhere. After not finding it, she didn't continue looking and just left. Anyway, the little thing was clever and would be fine.
But once her second brother left, it wasn't very interesting for her to be alone here. Having a cat to keep her company was quite nice.
She's a pretty little girl after all, being around her will make things more lively, right?
Liu Shihua agreed and carried the firewood home.
As soon as he left, Liu Shile let loose and ran all over the mountains and fields, and soon she ran to another mountain.
Thinking that her second brother wouldn't come, she took a hoe from the farm and dug up anything unusual or edible and threw it back into the farm.
"Huh? What's that fruit? It looks a bit like a kiwi." She dug as she walked, and then she saw small fruits hanging on a tree ahead.
Looking closely, it resembles a kiwi, but it's much smaller than those from the farm. Could this be a wild kiwi?
She reached out and picked one, peeled it open, and sure enough, it was a kiwi!
She really wanted to eat some, but it looked like it wasn't cooked yet.
"Hehe, it's okay. If you can't eat it now, you can eat it in a few days."
With that in mind, she started digging without the slightest hesitation.
She said she hadn't seen this fruit at the farm in Yudu, and wondered if it wasn't available at that time of year, or if the farms there simply didn't have this kind of fruit.
