At the foot of the mountain.
"If we go a little further inside, we won't meet any villagers." Zhou Yubai said.

Generally, when chopping wood, people would choose a place close to the foot of the mountain and would not go deep into the mountain.
"I'll do whatever you say." Shen Qingli nodded obediently.
Zhou Yubai led the way, and the two quickly chose a location.
Zhou Yubai put down the backpack and said, "I'll chop wood first. You can take Xiao Hei around or take a rest."
"Well, I'll go take a look around." Shen Qingli smiled, walked over and kissed Zhou Yubai on the face, "Come on, Yubai."
Shen Qingli's smile was so beautiful that Zhou Yubai almost wanted to stop chopping wood and just do something he loved.
Shen Qingli pushed away the already hot hand, glared at Zhou Yubai, turned around and ran away.
"Hei, follow me."
“Woof woof!”
Xiao Hei immediately ran away...
Zhou Yubai: The untied little black horse.
Shen Qingli walked away for a distance and let Xiao Hei play by himself as usual.
Xiao Hei ran to dig a rabbit's nest. He planned to find a few more little rabbits for Niu Niu this time. Every time he brought back a little rabbit, Niu Niu would hold him and praise him for a long time!
Shen Qingli was getting ready to burn charcoal. Their house had four rooms and burning firewood was not enough for heating, so it would be more convenient without charcoal.
She used her mental power to explore the surroundings and actually found a place that was empty, sheltered from the wind and well ventilated.
Shen Qingli planned to go over and take a look herself first, and if it was really possible, she would call Zhou Yubai over.
There were a lot of herbs on the road, so Shen Qingli simply slowed down her pace and picked herbs as she walked. Along the way, she actually saw wild grapes.
Shen Qingli was very happy.
She herself liked eating grapes, and she loved the sour and sweet taste of wild grapes even more. Shen Qingli simply picked all the ripe ones. She threw the herbs into the space, and the wild grapes filled the entire backpack.
There were several dozen kilograms of it, so she ate it first. The rest she couldn't finish, she made wine.
It is also nice to drink some wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After walking for a while, we arrived at an empty place. There was a big hole there, and we didn't know what caused it.
Shen Qingli estimated that the pit was still a little small. She used her mental power to investigate and made sure that there was no one around. She immediately expanded the pit by two times.
The surrounding loess is also suitable for making charcoal kilns.
In this way, it is absolutely safe to burn charcoal here and there is enough space.
Moreover, there is a forest not far away, so it is very convenient to cut firewood and burn charcoal.
Shen Qingli took out a pen and paper and drew a picture of the kiln according to her memory. Just then a pheasant strolled by.
Shen Qingli activated her wood-related abilities, and the pheasant was directly pierced by the branches and arrived in front of Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli thought about it and returned to the space to prepare the pheasant, and add a dish at noon.
She marinated the pheasant first, walked around, picked some mushrooms and wild vegetables, found a smooth stone slab, and used her lightning power to split it directly, turning the stone slab into a thin piece.
When you use it to cook later, the heat will be more even.
Shen Qingli looked at the time and it was almost time for dinner, so she used her mental power to find Xiao Hei and asked him to go find Zhou Yubai.
Start roasting your own chicken.
A fire was also lit under the stone grate, and the stone grate gradually became hot. A little pheasant oil was dripped on the mushrooms and wild vegetables, and the fragrance spread instantly.
When Zhou Yubai arrived, the pheasant had been roasted, the mushrooms and wild vegetables were cooked, and Shen Qingli was baking steamed buns.
"Drink some water first." Zhou Yubai handed the bottle to Shen Qingli and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her face.
Shen Qingli smiled and looked in a good mood.
"Thank you, Yubai."
"Okay, you can eat now."
Zhou Yubai took the chicken drumstick from Shen Qingli and felt warm inside. His wife always said she would give him more chicken drumsticks...
The two of them finished their lunch with a dull mood, and then Shen Qingli talked to Zhou Yubai about the charcoal burning.
"The place you chose is good, very suitable for burning charcoal, and the size of the pit is enough." Zhou Yubai said after looking at the environment.
Shen Qingli: I expanded this specially, it will definitely be enough.
"I also know how to build a kiln. I won't go to chop wood this afternoon. I'll pick up this kiln first, and when Qichuan comes back, we'll work on it together." Zhou Yubai said.
When he was in the army, he also did the task of burning charcoal.
In this era, supplies were scarce and the troops often had to be self-sufficient.
"Yubai, how come you know everything? You're amazing." Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yubai with admiration in her eyes.
Zhou Yubai's lips curled up, he reached out and held Shen Qingli in his arms, hugged her gently and then let go. He was covered in sweat and dust, and he was disgusted with himself, but he couldn't dirty his young wife.
Shen Qingli knew that Zhou Yubai treated her like a little princess, and no one had ever cared for her like this before.
Even Song Que and Er Mao, they all relied on her for support.
So Shen Qingli can be calm and composed in front of anyone, but she can't help crying in front of Zhou Yubai. When someone pampers her, she becomes a weak and helpless little girl.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Yubai felt a little embarrassed when Shen Qingli looked at him.
"I want to eat you." Shen Qingli said with a sigh.
Zhou Yubai chuckled, his voice a little hoarse, "Then I'll give it to you when we get home tonight."
Shen Qingli: Her son Yu Bai has become a bad boy. He used to be such a naive little boy, but now he dares to speed up if you give him a car.
"Hurry up and get to work." Shen Qingli stood up and jumped into the pit.
"Slow down." Zhou Yubai looked at Shen Qingli's agile movements and followed her.
The couple discussed together and started to build the kiln.
Zhou Yubai didn't want to let Shen Qingli do it, but Shen Qingli thought mixing mud was fun and insisted on helping.
The two of them worked for an entire afternoon and finally built the kiln.
"It has to be baked dry before it can be used." Zhou Yubai got a lot of firewood nearby.
"If we burn a fire here, people in the village should be able to see it, right?" Zhou Yubai suddenly thought of the issue of smoke.
"Don't worry, you can't see it." Shen Qingli said with a smile. With her special powers, it's just a matter of blocking the smoke. It's easy to deal with.
Zhou Yubai didn't know how Shen Qingli made her judgment, but he believed her.
The two of them worked for a while, and then Dahuang's cry was heard.
When Xiao Hei heard it, he ran over to find Da Huang.
Not long after, Gu Qichuan and Da Huang came over together.
"Brother Qichuan, you're back."
"I'm back. I learned something today." Gu Qichuan walked up to Shen Qingli and said.
"What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with me?" Shen Qingli was a little curious.
Gu Qichuan nodded, unable to hide the worry on his face.
"Hurry up and tell me." Shen Qingli urged.
"That An Meng...she's going to be shot soon." said Gu Qichuan.
"Shoot him right away?" Shen Qingli was a little surprised. She really didn't expect the An family to be so cruel...
