“Alright, let’s eat.” Da Shuang picked one up and stuffed it into Xiao Shuang’s hands. “Yo, it’s hot! He blew on his hands and picked up another bun without care.”

Xiao Shuang did not stand on ceremony.

The three of them each ate two and tacitly stopped eating. They wanted to return the rest to their parents for a nighttime meal.

Da Shuang touched his still-hungry stomach. He swore in his heart that he would eat this delicious meat bun daily.

Gu Qingli looked at the little thing. He was so cute.

After poking his little belly, she put the buns in the basket and said, “Come, let’s go home.”

“Yes, yes.”

They automatically held Gu Qingli’s hands.

Gu Qingli smiled and led them out of the town.

Out of the town, a tall man came up to them. He was in a hurry and didn’t notice the three siblings.

It was the three siblings who saw Xiao Yunjing.

The two of them looked up at Gu Qingli.

Gu Qingli looked at the man with complicated feelings.

She could not understand why a man like him would marry her.

The man was walking in a hurry, his head slightly lowered, and his face could not be seen clearly. His black hair flowed in the wind, and he wore a long green robe. He was empty-handed, and his slender legs were solid and firm. At first glance, he did not look like a village man.

If he was a martial arts swordsman with a sword on his back …

As Xiao Yunjing walked, he suddenly felt a gaze on him. He looked up and suddenly realized.

Gu Qingli and her two younger brothers were standing half a foot away from him, looking at him.

His eyes met her bright eyes, and he looked away unconsciously.

“Third,…third brother Xiao.” It was Da Shuang who weakly called out to break the awkwardness.

Xiao Yunjing nodded to Da Shuang.

After greeting the two, he met Gu Qingli’s eyes again and nodded at her.

Gu Qingli also nodded at him, but she saw a trace of guilt in his eyes, which made her suspicious.

What was he feeling guilty about?

Was he afraid of jinxing her? Or was he the one who raped the original owner?

Gu Qingli was furious at the thought of that.

If it were him, she would teach him a lesson.

Gu Qingli gave him a meaningful look, then strode away with the twins.

Xiao Yunjing was taken aback. What did Gu Qingli mean by that look?

Did she recognize him?

He was wearing a mask that day.

Xiao Yunjing went to the clothing shop uneasily and ordered his and Gu Qingli’s clothes before returning to the mountain.

Gu Qingli and her two brothers arrived at the village entrance. Da Shuang took medicine and two buns back for the hoe.

When Da Shuang brought the hoe back, she took them up the mountain. The two of them could feel that their second sister’s mood had not been good since she saw third brother Xiao.

They also spoke less; they only buried their heads in herbs when they reached the mountain.

At noon, Gu Qingli pretended to have dug up some sweet potatoes and washed them in a place with water. The three of them took the skins and started eating.

“Second sister, what kind of fruit is this? It’s very delicious, sweet, and crunchy.” Da Shuang could not help but ask.

Gu Qingli finished a sweet potato and washed the sweet potato paste off her hand. She stroked her brother’s head and said, “I don’t know. The skin is red, so I’ll call it sweet potato.”

In her memory, there were no sweet potatoes or potatoes here.

They mainly produced rice, wheat, soybeans, red beans, and black beans.

There weren’t many vegetables either. Most were Chinese cabbage, radish, lettuce, and small vegetables.

For example, the people here had never heard of seafood. Even the fish and shrimp in the river were rarely eaten.

Most of the fish caught by the villagers were sent to the restaurants in the county to sell, so they could not make delicious fish to eat.

Gu Qingli thought that the first thing she would do when she made money was to open a restaurant and use all the resources here so that the people could also eat modern food.

The people would have a good meal, and she would also earn silver.

Of course, she couldn’t lose her medical skills, but she wouldn’t treat people so brazenly as before. Wouldn’t it be great to have a mysterious divine doctor in martial arts?

She wouldn’t give up her job, but she wouldn’t expose herself.

At this thought, Gu Qingli was no longer depressed.

The two of them washed their hands after eating the sweet potatoes, wiped them on their clothes, and walked deeper into the mountains.

“Swish, swish!”

“Shh.”

Hearing the noise, Gu Qingli immediately told the two to stop. The two didn’t hear anything, so they stopped and looked at her nervously.

Gu Qingli waved at them to show that she was okay. She put down her basket and padded toward the source of the sound.

When she walked closer, she was delighted. It was a fat rabbit gnawing on a medicinal herb.

The rustling sound from before was the sound of it digging the dead leaves on the ground.

However, rabbits were clever and timid, so they were not easy to catch.

How do you catch them?

She didn’t have any tools on hand.

Oh, I got it! Gu Qingli suddenly had an idea. She turned over her hand, and a carrot appeared in it. Then, she turned over her hand again, and a bag of anesthetic appeared.

She shook some anesthetic powder on the carrot and threw it in front of the rabbit.

“Bang!”

The rabbit was so scared that it ran away without a trace.

Gu Qingli didn’t move.

After a while, the rabbit returned. It sniffed and approached the carrot.

Gu Qingli smiled. No animal could refuse food from the realm.

As expected, the rabbit jumped over and began chewing. Its tiny mouth moved happily, but unfortunately, the rabbit fell to the ground in less than a hundred breaths; its short legs kicked a few times before it fainted.

‘He, he’

Gu Qingli sneaked over, picked up the carrot, put it back into the telepathic eye space, and went back with the rabbit.

The two saw that she had been squatting in the grass for a long time and had not come over, so they guarded the basket obediently. They were overjoyed when they saw that she had returned with a rabbit.

“Second sister, what a fat rabbit.”

“Well, we’ll roast it in the afternoon before returning.”

“Are you eating it?” Da Shuang’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Yeah, you want to keep it?”

“No, I thought second sister was going to sell it?” They didn’t have anything to eat, and they had to sell rabbits!

Gu Qingli shook her head. “We’re not selling it. We’ll eat the free rabbit.”

“Second sister, should I return and get some flintstones, knives, and salt?” Xiao Shuang, who had been silent the whole time, said.

“Alright.” Gu Qingli was surprised by Xiao Shuang’s quick reaction. They didn’t have any tools to grill the rabbit.

Although she had everything in her space, she had to be careful with what she did.

After Xiao Shuang got her permission and went down the mountain,

She and Da Shuang started digging up herbs nearby.

“Second sister, come and see what this is?” Suddenly, Da Shuang’s surprised voice came.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingli ran over immediately.

“Second sister, look.”
