Prosperous Pastoral: Sweet Pet Peasant Wife

Chapter 3 The Way of Survival
Those eyes were a little indifferent, and also a little contemptuous... It's not difficult for Han Chuxia to understand, after all, the previous life's beating of Gouwa had left a bad impression in the mother-in-law's heart.

There is no way to survive on just a piece of sweet potato, so the first thing she has to do is how to survive in this poor place with a baby.

Searching in the house, I found only a scythe that was worn out like a small gap in the moon, and a broken iron pot.There is also a big back basket with a crooked back.

Carrying a large basket on his back and a sickle scythe that was worn out, Han Chuxia walked up the hillside aimlessly.

In the fields, even the tender wild vegetables are not much left.

As for wild rabbits and the like, she could see them occasionally, but unfortunately, she was running too fast, she was not a martial arts master, let alone a superman in target shooting, and these wild rabbits could only be seen but not touched.

However, looking at these wild rabbits, Han Chuxia thought of a way to dig a trap.

In modern times, I used to set up traps with my friends from the countryside.I don't know if those traps will work here.

This area is not far away from the mountains and forests, and the front is bare, only a few weeds exist.Apparently, these hillsides are sparsely treed by the villagers who cut firewood.But going deeper, there are still continuous mountains and forests, and from time to time, one or two roars of beasts can be heard.

In the mountains, generally speaking, there will be some wild food.If you are lucky, you may even find wild fungus, or mushrooms.

Standing outside like this, you will definitely not find too many things. Instead of starving to death, simply go to the mountains.

Not far away, there was the sound of cutting wood. When Han Chuxia walked to that area, the young woman who was chopping firewood turned around and was obviously surprised when she saw her. "Big girl, you actually came into the mountains?"

"Hehe..." Han Chuxia scratched her head, not knowing what to say next.The memory of the original body did not continue, it was really troublesome.

"Big girl, Gouwa is fine, don't hit him anymore."

The woman opened her mouth, and finally said these words in a whisper.It's not difficult to hear from this tone that this person seems to be doing just enough for Yuan Bo.You know, she was often neglected at her natal home two days ago.

Going out the door, many people saw her, and it was considered good if she didn't spit.And the young woman in front of her actually tried to persuade her.

"I know. I used to be bad to Gouwa because of my bad temper. I'll be nice to him in the future, your stomach? It seems like it's been several months, right?"

The woman in front of her stood up, and Han Chuxia realized that she had a big belly.

"Yeah, the baby is about to be born in two months. I just hope that the baby will be a handle. Or..."

When the woman said this, her expression was a little distressed.

Han Chuxia frowned again, the country people favor boys over girls.

I feel that giving birth to a daughter is a loss of money.

"Looking at the pointy thing in your pregnancy, it might really be a boy. Don't think too much, and you should memorize it less. Why do you still come out to chop firewood when you are pregnant for such a big month? You don't care if you are a man. Is it?"

She just mentioned it casually, but the young woman shook her head in horror, "Daughter, it's not like you don't know Chen Da's temper, so don't mention him, I have to carry firewood back quickly, He should be up by now, and if he doesn't get the food I cook, he'll be beaten again."

As the woman spoke, she hurried home with firewood on her back.

She looked at Han Chuxia frowning like this, it was obvious that this woman was not loved by men at home.She has to be a cow and a horse when she is pregnant. How can this country woman be so sad!
Shaking his head, Han Chuxia was going to the mountains again.

"By the way, big girl, don't go too deep. You didn't go into the mountains before, and you don't know the market here. There are many poisonous insects and snake-like beasts in the mountains. In our village, only Just get some firewood outside here. During this period of time, many people heard the cries of tigers and leopards from inside. Alas, I hope these big guys don’t come out of the mountain. Otherwise, what can you two do? Oh!"

The woman sighed, shook her head and staggered away with the firewood on her back.

"Deep into the mountains? Let's take a look first. If it's dangerous, I'd better not go in."

Staring at the mountains in front of him, Han Chuxia muttered to himself, but decided to go deeper.

However, even if it was going deep, she would move forward cautiously, step by step slowly.

Climbing all the way, looking for wild fruits or edible things all the way.

Perhaps because the whole village is too poor, there are no edible ripe fruits on this mountain.There are several astringent fruits.But after tasting one, the astringent taste made people unable to open their mouths.

After a while, Han Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief.

I climbed forward for a while, but still didn't find much.This made her a little depressed, not far away was a valley.Han Chuxia casually looked inside.Seeing this, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Here, there are so many wild peppers growing!

She rubbed her eyes, that's right, those little red pointed things are just peppers.

There are a lot of wild red peppers growing in this place. There are no ripe fruits, but peppers grow. There is only one saying, that is, people here don’t know how to eat spicy food!

"Haha, chili, this is such a treasure. With this thing, I can make chili sauce. I wonder if this thing can be marketed after it is promoted?"

Not caring about anything else, Han Chuxia rushed over to pick the peppers.

The most important thing for her now is to make money to support her baby.

After picking for a while, the back basket was full.

"This thing is really a good treasure. I don't think anyone will want it here, so let's put it in this corner first."

Although it was very tiring, Han Chuxia still wanted to look for it because he had found a source of income. If he could find more good things, the problem of people's livelihood during this period would be solved.

It's just that luck can't be with you all the time.I walked a long way and fell down a few times, but I couldn't find anything edible.

After picking up some firewood casually, Han Chuxia decided to go back and forth.

After all, it is a grassy slope road, and I am not very familiar with walking. As I walked, one was suspended in the air, and I didn't stand firm, and fell to the foot of the mountain with a bang.

"Oh my god, this broken place is really..."

Han Chuxia threw her fist in distress, she was really unlucky, and this time, she hit another piece of wood.Moreover, it seems that some sticky things are stuck on it.

"You're going to die. With this kind of life, it's no wonder that your temper is getting worse and worse, and you even want to commit suicide. There's really no hope."

Rubbing her arms, Han Chuxia stopped hurting herself.Let's just live honestly.

Humming, she got up, looking at the black sticky thing in her hand, she looked irritably at the place where she just smashed it.

"Ah, what is this?"

He squatted down with some doubts, and picked up the black ear-like thing.

I rubbed it again, "Haha, this... this, it's really fungus. I didn't expect that there were so many fungus crawling on this fallen log. This is a good thing. Look at such a big tree. If you take it all off, I'm afraid it will weigh several catties."

The body that hurt from the fall did not hurt anymore, and when she looked at the fungus again, Han Chuxia grinned and laughed non-stop.Every time I pick off a fungus, I feel that it is a silver flower.

After looking back and forth, I found that this is a mountain bend, and the grass is very deep.Unlike the hillsides outside, there are still people walking around.

If you want to come, it's because this place is a mountain bend, and it's very dangerous, so no one comes here.Because of this, the fungus on a piece of dry wood can be cheap for her.

"I hope these fungus can still be worth some money here, otherwise, what can I exchange for food!"

At the end of the harvest, Han Chuxia discovered to her dismay that she had picked these fungus, but she couldn't take them with her.

The back basket still has peppers on it, now?

Looking at the ragged clothes on her body, and then looking at the leaves not far away, she immediately had an idea, and she decided to take off her clothes and dress them as fungus.

For the rest, wrap them with some big tree leaves, and then tie them up with grass ropes, one by one.

With the bags full of clothes and a dozen or so leaf bags, Han Chuxia has completely turned into a beggar with thousands of bags.

After strenuously pushing her onto the main road, Han Chuxia completely turned into a beggar.Wearing only her underwear, she quickly walked to the basket with the fungus bag she had picked so hard.

Fortunately, I really didn't meet anyone along the way.

After cutting a tree, he tied the bag of fungus and clothes on the back basket, and Han Chuxia hurried home excitedly.

In fact, the weight of this basket of peppers plus those fungus is almost not much.That's about forty kilograms.However, even the weight of forty catties made Han Chuxia gasp after walking a few steps.

When Han Chuxia saw the road in front of the forest, his footsteps faltered.

Struggling to walk forward, I never thought that a raccoon would suddenly rush out from the corner, "Oh..."

Caught off guard, he was bumped to the ground by the raccoon.The back basket he was carrying was also smashed to the ground.

"You...it's okay." Before the dizziness in his head passed, he was pulled up by someone.

Han Chuxia shook his head, and looked at the person in front of him through his dizzy eyes, only to see that it was a picture of a young country man who looked pleasing to the eye.

When the man saw her clearly, his eyes were slightly dodged.

"It's okay, who are you?" Han Chuxia rubbed her arms and kept picking up the fungus bags on the ground.

"I...you don't recognize me...You, you still dress like this, how decent are you!"

The man seemed a little depressed, stomped his feet with a blushing face, gave her a hard look, and ran forward with his feet up.The speed is as fast as if a ghost is chasing it.

Looking up at the back of this man going away, Han Chuxia wondered, "Shi, that's really strange, should I know you? You're such a weird person."

However, after picking it up, Han Chuxia suddenly remembered that it sank in the lake a few days ago, as if... a man grabbed her and dragged her up.Just grab it, but the place where you grab it seems to be her chest...
