She pushed Jiang Nian away, then slipped into the space to check. It was indeed true. Her pants were stained red, so she changed her pants before coming out.
Previously, malnutrition caused menstrual irregularities. She continued to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Now it is the third course of treatment, and her menstrual period has become normal.
Jiang Nian's face was grim, and he held her tightly. She had no choice but to put her cheek close to him and comfort him, "I'm fine, I'm not injured. I'll do it once a month from now on, don't worry."
Pull him back to bed to rest.
Jiang Nian didn't understand what she said. He hugged the person in his arms tightly and didn't dare to close his eyes.
She didn't feel any pain, but her waist and abdomen felt a little sore. Finally, she knew why she was so irritable. Thanks to Eugene Hua for being her punching bag.
After lying down for a day, Jiang Yue felt much better. But now everyone in the village was out fishing, and she felt uneasy about what she wanted to do.
"Big Cub, let's go into the mountains tomorrow morning before anyone else arrives, shall we?"
Jiang Nian nodded. He knew what it meant to go into the mountains and he liked going into the mountains.
The sun was shining brightly yesterday, but the mountain was still muddy and difficult to walk on. Jiang Yue scraped the mud from under her feet as she walked, and after walking for an hour, she finally climbed onto Jiang Nian's back.
Last time, she dug some holes in the mountains, and after so many days, she finally had a harvest: three rabbits and two pheasants.
But seeing that it's dying, I guess it's hard to keep it, so I'll just take it home and make bacon.
Jiang Yue looked down into Jiang Nian's eyes, not knowing how to explain to him that dangerous wild animals should not be hunted.
"Bear, no, tiger, no." There shouldn't be any lions here.
Oh, she remembered, "Big wild boar, no."
Wild boar has thick skin and a strong smell, so she doesn't like it. Nowadays, pork is eaten by ordinary people, and wild boar meat is not easy to sell.
Jiang Nian seemed to understand, not quite. He hadn't been through the mountains and forests for a long time. This was his hometown, and he seemed to have been set free. In a few seconds, he disappeared from sight.
Jiang Yue began to quickly collect stones, wood, and firewood. In the process, she also found poria cocos and yam.
The yam roots in the space have already sprouted small buds.
She was happy to receive the goods, but danger was approaching her step by step.
The layer of fallen leaves under her feet was thick and the rustling sound was heavy when she stepped on it, but she could still hear a different sound among them.
“Hiss—hiss—”
She frowned, tightened her grip on the knife, and turned slowly.
Three meters behind her, there was a black and white scaled snake as big as a baby's arm. Its body, more than one meter long, was wrapped around a tree branch, sticking out its tongue at her.
She was startled. The head was triangular, so it should be a five-step snake.
Take a deep breath and move slowly so as not to disturb it.
But the other party seemed to have kept his eyes on her, and the snake's head followed her.
Jiang Yue quickly thought about what she could find in the space to treat the snake. The realgar powder she had sprinkled in every corner of the yard was now used up.
What else?
Without waiting for her to figure out the answer, the five-step snake lightly pressed the branch and flew towards her.
She swung the knife in her right hand with force, but unfortunately it missed.
In a hurry, he just threw something with his left hand!
It seems like I hit it.
What she threw seemed to be a pig's head... It knocked the five-step snake unconscious immediately.
Jiang Yue ran over, quickly secured the snake's head with a rope, then threw it into a sack, tied the mouth tightly, and threw it into a bamboo basket.
She lowered her head and looked at the big pig head on the ground. What should she do? She didn't want it anymore.
But the older one would love to chew on it. Never mind, we're short on meat now, so let's just put it away.
After she finished and rested for five minutes, the eldest came back.
He actually hunted a deer and a sheep!
Big cub is so awesome!
He seemed to know that Jiang Yue liked living things, so he changed back into human form and drove the prey back personally.
Jiang Yue closed her eyes and threw the clothes to him.
Corns, corns!
After he put on his clothes, Jiang Yue excitedly tied up the prey with a rope. Of course, live prey is better and sells for a higher price!
She tried to drive the prey down the mountain, but the wild deer and sheep had lived in the mountains for too long and were wild and difficult to tame. No matter how hard she pulled, the two would not move an inch and even retreated hard.
Jiang Nian stared at them and roared. The two of them shook their ears and then obeyed.
It is true that kind people are bullied by deer and sheep!
Tie the rope to Jiang Nian's hand, and when he walks, the prey must follow.
Today's harvest was very good. Jiang Yue did not let Jiang Nian turn back into a wolf, but carried her on her back in human form and walked slowly down the mountain.
"We'll go to the capital tomorrow to sell our game, then decide on a house. After that, we'll buy some grains for storage."
Although they were not short of food, they were trying to hide the fact that they had a lot of food. In those days, only the wealthy families could eat dry rice and white flour buns every day, which was too conspicuous to others.
Perhaps in a while, ordinary people will not even be able to eat mixed flour steamed buns.
She kept whispering in Jiang Nian's ear as they walked, and he would rub his ears in response from time to time.
When they returned to the foot of the mountain, the fishermen had indeed dispersed.
The amount of fish caught is definitely decreasing day by day.
The village chief's wife looked at the three fish in the bucket and sighed. None of them was as big as the fish they caught themselves, but that was the case when sharing fish with the villagers. When it was divided among everyone, it was a luxury to be able to eat enough, and eating well was even more unthinkable.
Several boys and girls squatted by, drooling at the sight of the fish inside.
Except for the fish Jiang Yue sent on the first day, which was stewed into soup, all the remaining fish were sold.
I remember the taste of fish, how can I not be greedy? Now I also feel the fishy smell of raw fish.
"Master, stew all three fish. Add more water."
The children were excited, but Mrs. Li hesitated, "Stew all three at once?"
The village chief's wife nodded at the little brats and said, "Jiang Yue is right. There are so many people in this family, who doesn't need to be supplemented? With just these few people, there's nothing to save."
"Yes, mother."
After sending the children out to play, the village chief asked Jiangshan, "How much grain have you bought now?"
They were secretly storing food with the public treasury's money, but there had been many happy events in the family before, and they had even bought a mule, so they didn't have much money left now.
"I bought a total of two stone of beans, one stone of millet, and one stone of black flour." There was also some stale grain mixed in.
He nodded, frowning as he looked at his eldest son, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating like this?"
"Dad, the price of food outside seems to be rising a little bit."
The village chief's heart tightened, "How much has it increased?"
"It's not really noticeable, but the first time I went there, the clerk was very nice and gave me a penny off per liter. But when I went there today, they refused to give me a discount and kept the original price."
"We bought more and more, but the prices kept getting higher. How could that be? Later, as I was leaving, I hid outside the door and overheard the guys talking about how 'the boss is being very kind by not raising the price,' but I couldn't hear anything after that."
