Chapter 32
Walking all the way up the mountain, before going far, Lu Jinnian was forced to stop.

The snow was too heavy, and the deepest part had already reached her waist, and there was no point in going any further.

She withdrew directly and went back the same way.

"You can't get in." Lu Jinnian felt that his thoughts before Luoxue were too simple.

I thought that when the weather got colder, I would come back from hunting and store some meat, but now it seems that this is impossible.

After thinking about it, she walked to the nearest village with her backpack on her back.

This village is about two hours away from where they live, which is about as far as going to the city.

If you want to say why she doesn't go shopping in the city, it's because the things in the city are too expensive.

It is more cost-effective for her to come to the village to exchange things that can be eaten and used than to go to the city.

When he arrived at the place, Lu Jinnian took some things out of the space and put them in his back basket, then walked into the village.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?" A little girl in her teens came out with a bucket and saw her just in time.

Lu Jinnian looked back, smiled politely and said, "I'm from the nearby mountains, and I want to come to you to exchange something."

Bartering is very normal in this era, and everyone really does it, because copper coins and silver are very precious, and generally everyone in the village uses them for exchange.

Hearing this, the little girl said, "What do you want to change?"

It wasn't the first time she met someone like Lu Jinnian, so she didn't ask too many questions.

Hearing that Lu Jinnian knew there was something to it, he replied, "I have two hares and two fish."

These things are found in mountains and rivers, so it’s no problem to take them out.

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately said: "Then my family needs it! My mother is confinement and she needs to eat fish and meat. What do you want in exchange?"

What a coincidence, she was very happy.

Lu Jinnian thought for a while, "Hmm...I want food, cabbage and radishes, anything."

Anyway, there is no shortage of meat at home, but they are short of vegetables, so they can't eat meat every day, right?
"Do you want food?" The little girl was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask too much, "Okay, come with me, and let my father change it with you."

After all, she is a girl. There are adults in the family who cannot make decisions, so she brought her into the hospital.

When the man in the room saw his daughter came back, he asked, "Xiaoqing, didn't you go fetch water? Why did you come back so soon?"

The family really couldn't leave anyone, so he asked his daughter to fetch water, as long as one bucket could cook a meal.

Xiaoqing put down the bucket and said, "Father, there is a man on the mountain outside who wants to change vegetables. He has two fish and hares. Shall we change them?"

"Change food?" The man's eyes lit up. The mountain has been covered by heavy snow recently. He tried to find game on the mountain but couldn't find it. He was worried about his mother's confinement.

"Let's go, take me to have a look." He hurriedly greeted, and then went out first.

When Lu Jinnian saw a man in his thirties coming out of the room, he knew that this man was the father of the child just now.

"Brother, can you show me your things first?" The man was not in a hurry to change, but planned to look at things first.

Lu Jinnian nodded, put the pannier on the ground, and let them look at it casually.

The fish and rabbits were frozen, but looked fresh.

The man nodded in satisfaction, especially the two fish, each weighing about two or three catties.

"Very good, do you want to change the dishes? Can I give you a load of cabbage and radishes?"

A load is about [-] catties, which is indeed a lot, enough to eat for a while.

 Thanks to Bubu 1502, Yun Dan for his lifelong tip.

  Chinese New Year is really troublesome. The time of visiting relatives and friends in these two days is not fixed and updated.

  In addition, the [-]-word update will be resumed in two days. I am really sorry for this. Please understand.
