When the group arrived at the threshing ground, they indeed heard everyone talking about the winter hunt.
The village had a militia, but it was only nominal, as there wasn't much to do usually.
This winter hunt was being led by the militia captain, Guo Dazhu.
Guo Dazhu was tall and strong, exuding power and a sense of security.
However, when he was selecting participants, the village chief specifically told him in front of everyone that if the educated youth wanted to go, they could choose to go too, and the village would treat everyone equally in the future.
The educated youth were inwardly cursing; now they were being treated equally?
So Gu Xiangnan volunteered to refuse on their behalf.
This was no joke; there were wolves and tigers in the mountains, and they could easily lose their lives. They decided not to join the fun.
Finally, the village selected its participants, agreed on a time, and set off the next day.
After the hunting party left, the village quieted down again. Lu Xia had actually been quite busy these past few days, but she was secretly busy.
The grain she had planted in her spatial dimension had finally ripened and was ready for harvesting.
Unlike the novels where you can control your space with your mind and automatically harvest crops with a thought,
hers required manual harvesting .
Even though it involved using her mind, it was still exhausting.
Fortunately, the space had one advantage: once the crops matured, they wouldn't age further if left unharvested, allowing for slow harvesting.
Even so, she still worked for a while every night before bed, and although she didn't do much, she was still mentally tired.
Jiang Junmo somehow noticed and assumed she was exhausted from studying, so he stopped her from cooking for the past few days, taking over the housework himself to let her rest.
Lu Xia was touched and planned to give him more spiritual spring water to help him recover quickly.
After four days of hard work, she finally finished harvesting the crops, husking them in the small dark room, and then piling them into sacks in the open space.
Although not all the fields were planted with grain this time, she still harvested nearly five thousand catties.
She considered selling the grain, but hesitated. She had seen the situation in the county several times and always felt it wasn't safe, plus her grain was too conspicuous.
So she decided to wait and see.
Now that she was in this era, she wouldn't take any chances. She knew this wasn't just a world in a book, but a real one.
She didn't have the protagonist's halo, so safety was paramount.
She was just an ordinary person in this world, a fact she had long understood.
Therefore, she knew she wouldn't be like the protagonist Su Man, surviving unscathed in the dangerous mountains and getting what she wanted, nor would she be able to buy or sell on the black market without incident.
She was just an ordinary person!
So she should act like an ordinary person, never challenging the rules of society or reality.
Call it valuing life or being afraid of death, all she wanted was to live well, so she had to carefully consider the consequences of everything she did.
After harvesting the grain, Lu Xia rested for two days and then replanted.
And then nothing else happened.
Jiang Junmo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had finally returned to normal. Although he didn't know why she had suddenly become so tired, he secretly decided that he couldn't let her do too much work in the future. Even if she was strong, she was still a woman, and he should try to do things himself as much as possible.
