The Strong Wife from Peasant Family Chapter 9

After practicing for an hour, his arms started to feel sore, but Li Qingling stopped. She had also almost recovered the feeling of when she shot arrows in her previous life.

She sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and rubbed her sore arms. When she felt less tired, she stood up, picked up the bow and arrows on the ground, and continued on her way into the mountains.

After walking for around four hours, Li Qingling caught four wild chickens and three wild rabbits. His harvest was not bad, she looked at the color of the sky, and then touched his stomach that was flat, and decided to return. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous when it was dark.

She did not faint for long, when Li Qingling woke up again, the sky had already turned dark. She was shocked, and immediately crawled up, this time sucking in a breath of cold air, her body feeling like it was on the verge of collapse, and the pain was excruciating.

Her hand was also wounded and bleeding. She was afraid that the smell of blood would attract the wild beasts from the wolves, so without caring about the pain, she quickly stood up and ran to the stream to clean it up.

Unexpectedly, something bizarre happened. Some fish appeared out of nowhere and started swimming towards her, circling around her hand.

For a moment, Li Qingling was stunned, what was going on? It couldn't have been her blood that drew the fish out, right?

Only after a moment did she regain her wits. She immediately took out the meat from the basket and quickly scooped a spoonful of the fish into the stream. With one spoonful, she scooped up about five catties of fish.

Li Qingling was laughing so hard that his teeth could no longer be seen. Although there was something fishy about it, it was good that he could catch it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky wasn't completely dark yet, she thought for a moment before tidying up the fish and the wild hare she had hunted. Once again, she put the basket on her back and continued walking outside with a relieved heart.

When she came home, she found a place to rest. She planned to rest there for the night before going home.

After walking for an hour, she finally arrived at the leeward slope. She put down the basket, went around to pick up some firewood, and lit a fire. She then took out the jar and looked at the chicken and hare that had been tidied up.

She didn't want to eat the wild chicken and wild rabbit, so she planned to sell them in town.

He ran to the stream and filled the pot with water. Then he washed the fish and stewed it.

She wanted to return to the world that she was familiar with in her previous life, but she also wanted to go back to her family in this life. If she left, what would they do?

He let his imagination run wild until he could smell the fragrance of the fish. Only then did he regain his senses.

She reached to open the lid, but it was burned off. She pinched her earlobe and jumped a few times, then turned and ran to the stream to soak in cold water, then ran back and broke off two sticks to remove the lid. The smell of the fish assaulting her nose caused Li Qingling's mind to shake.

She took out a bit of salt that she had brought from home and put it down. She didn't care about the heat anymore as she used a pair of chopsticks made of small wooden sticks to pick up the fish and started eating it in big mouthfuls. The wild fish in the stream were very delicious.

After eating his fill, Li Qingling rubbed his bulging stomach and heaved a sigh of relief.

The heavens had opened their eyes and never let her down. As long as there was hope, she would be able to lead her family down the road.

This was the first time in Li Qingling's life that he had spent the night in the wilderness, moreover it was the first time in the wilderness.

Listening to the howling mountain breeze and the howling wild beasts, she did not dare to close her eyes. She stared at the small fire, constantly adding firewood, afraid that if the fire was not extinguished, those unknown wild beasts would rush out and swallow her alive.

She forced herself to stay like this for the whole night. When the sun rose and she sat down on her stiff little body, she relaxed a little and lay down on the ground, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

She was quite lucky. If it had rained on her, she would have really cried.

When she woke up in the afternoon, Li Qingling rubbed her eyes and realized that her index finger was dripping wet. She subconsciously sucked on it.

Sweet...

Where did this water come from? Could it be fog? She thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything to say, so she stopped thinking about it. She got up and stretched, walked to the stream, and washed her face.

The icy cold stream caused her to shiver. She was now completely awake.

She then used a jar to stew some fish to eat. This time, she did not dare to waste too much time. She hurriedly finished her food, packed her things and carried her to the outside of the mountain.

As he walked, he observed the surroundings for food.

Her luck was not bad at all. When she saw an orange tree, she ran over and tiptoed over it. It tasted good. It was sour and sweet. In that moment, she had picked a dozen oranges.

If it wasn't for the other things being too high, she wouldn't have been able to pick them. Otherwise, she would have ruined the entire orange tree.

With unwillingness, Li Qingling looked at the other oranges, then regretfully left with the basket on his back.

She didn't have that much strength left, and if she could find anything else, she wouldn't be able to carry it either. She decided to bring Liu Zhimo to have a good look at it next time!

The journey was long, and she was tired from carrying her things since she didn't have enough rest. This time, she had come home for even longer than when she first arrived. When it was the Hai hour, she finally returned home.

She stood in the doorway and called out a few times to her mother. Just as she finished, she heard footsteps and the door burst open.

Seeing the bloodshot Mrs. Zhao, Li Qingling smiled at her, "Mother, I'm back."

"Hmm …" Mrs. Zhao lit an oil lamp, and looked at Li Qingling from head to toe under the light of the lamp. Seeing that something was wrong with her, it took her a few days to calm down.

Li Qingling put down the basket and took out the prey he had hunted this time, "Mother, my harvest this time wasn't bad. I caught three wild rabbits, four wild chickens, and three wild grass fishes. She glanced at Mrs. Zhao, "Give Zhi Moge family a wild chicken and a fish, we'll leave a wild chicken and a wild rabbit and two fishes, the rest will be sold, what do you think?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at the tidied up prey, her eyes reddened, and nodded with a choked of sobs. It was because she lacked the ability to make such a daughter travel all the way for her family.

"I'll sell it in town tomorrow."

"No need, I'll go!" Li Qingling shook her head. Mrs. Zhao had such a big stomach, the road to town was so far, and she was worried, "Last time, I asked around to find a place to sell our prey. Seeing that Mrs. Zhao still wanted to speak, she continued.

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, took the basket and put it away, "Go sit on the bed, mom will boil some hot water for you to wash your feet."

"Let me do it!"

"Go sit!" Mrs. Zhao looked at Li Qingling's exhausted face, turned his head in pain and walked towards the kitchen.

Li Qingling was truly tired, and did not argue any further. She yawned, and turned and entered the room, helping Li Qingfeng cover himself with the blanket before sitting down.

When she sat on the bed, she was drowsy.

When Mrs. Zhao finished boiling the water and brought it in, she was already fast asleep.

Mrs. Zhao helped her pull off her shoes, twist a piece of cloth and wipe her face. Then, she carefully helped her wash her feet, dry it, and put it on the bed.

It seemed that he was really exhausted …

He caressed Li Qingling's dry yellow hair and sighed, then turned and left the room.

At home, without any vigilance, Li Qingling woke up. The sky was slightly bright, she anxiously crawled up, and by the time he tidied himself up, Mrs. Zhao had already finished cooking the porridge.

"It's still early, there's no rush."

Li Qingling acknowledged his presence but he did not slow down on her porridge. She finished her bowl of porridge, wiped his mouth, picked up the basket that was used to store his prey, and left after saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhao.

If she went to town early, she would not meet the villagers. Otherwise, if they saw her, what kind of trouble would they cause?

In addition, her grandparents were not simple people. If they knew that she could hunt, their home would no longer be at peace.

She had to go early to avoid all this trouble.

When she went to the town, there were some shops that had not opened yet. She relied on her memories from last time to go to the Fumanlou.

Fumanlou had also just opened the door, and there were no customers inside, so she stuck his head in to take a look.

A waiter saw her and walked over. "Little girl, what's the matter?"

He didn't chase her away just because she was dressed in shabby clothes. Just because of this, Li Qingling had a good impression of the Fumanlou.

She smiled and took down the basket, peeling off the leaves on top, "This brother, may I ask if you are here to collect prey? "You see, he's just come back from hunting. He's very fat!"
