Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Along the way, Mao Xiaoyu encountered two pheasants and rabbits, but they were too far away and she was unfamiliar with the place. She was afraid of losing her, so she did not chase after them.

When she was familiar with the road, she could run around and catch some wild animals to eat.

Sitting on the shore, Mao Xiaoyu took out a bottle of mineral water.

Although the environment was not polluted and the water in the pool was very clear, as a modern person, she still did not have the habit of drinking river water directly.

Since there was no one around, she would not make things difficult for herself!

“Woah, there are quite a few fish in this pool!” Mao Xiaoyu muttered to herself.

With that, a burger suddenly appeared in her hand. Mao Xiaoyu planned to end lunch quickly. After she finished eating, she would take out the net and see if she could catch two fish.

She could not share modern food like hamburgers with others, so she could only eat them slowly by herself.

However, this thing was extremely precious.

On her way up the mountain, her harvest was considered decent, and she still had plenty of time.

A big sack that could hold 50 pounds of rice was now half full of wild vegetables. She would dig some when he went down the mountain. With the herbs he had just stored in her Space, she would have a small bag when he returned home.

With her current small body, carrying so many were already her limit!

After eating slowly, Mao Xiaoyu threw the stuff back into the Space and took out a fishing net.

This net was like the net used to catch dragonflies, the kind with a long handle.

Walking slowly on the shore, Mao Xiaoyu planned to find a place with a lot of fish to start.

But who knew that the fish here seemed to be more afraid of people? Wherever she went, the fish would swim away.

In the end, the net in Mao Xiaoyu’s hands did not even enter the water once for a full 20 minutes.

“Hey, I don’t believe this!” She recalled that when she went to the park in the past, the fish in the river would all come to her.

After another ten minutes, Mao Xiaoyu was finally defeated by reality. In the end, she had no choice but to take out a mantou and throw it into the river.

As the mantou went into the river, Mao Xiaoyu quickly caught three big fish with the net.

She threw the fish on the grass in the distance and sat on the rock by the shore to continue feeding the fish with the steamed bun.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a waste of food!” She watched as half of the bun was thrown into the river, but only seven or eight fish swam over.

She looked at the small steamed bun in her hand and thought that if her mother saw this, she would be heartbroken.

Thinking of the value of food, Mao Xiaoyu touched her nose and could not help but feel a little heartache.

“Forget it. I can’t just eat all the fish I caught. I’ll save half a bun.” Thinking of that terrible family, Mao Xiaoyu felt a little helpless.

She was a little impressed by the original owner of the body and Liu Xianniang. They could live in that house for more than ten years. It was only the second day since she transmigrated here, but she was already tired of it.

If she had a choice, it would be better to live under the bridge than in that house.

At the very least, she would be free under the bridge and would not have to be enslaved.

According to her, that place could not even be called a ‘home’.

With a sigh, Mao Xiaoyu put the half bun back into the Space.

After that, she caught four more fish before she stopped.

She could not keep going. the steamed buns in her hands were all used up. The fish saw that there was no more food and did not swim in front of her.

In the end, she could only stand up and look at the seven fish behind her.

The seven fish were of different sizes. The largest was five or six catties, and the smallest was about two catties.

Rubbing her chin, Mao Xiaoyu was thinking about how to make her mother eat the fish!

“What are you doing here?” As she was troubled, a man’s voice came from behind her.

Mao Xiaoyu turned to the side subconsciously, and a small and delicate dagger appeared in her hand.

Just as she was about to swing her dagger, Mao Xiaoyu’s eyes flickered and she stopped her attack when she saw the man behind her.

she awkwardly retracted her attacking posture and coughed lightly. “Why don’t you make any sound when you walk?”

As she spoke, she unnaturally hid the dagger in her sleeve.

The man behind him was none other than Rong Xiang. His face did not change, but he was extremely shocked.

The little girl clearly knew martial arts… But how could Mao Daya, a girl who had never left the village, know martial arts?

“You were too focused on your thoughts. I even called you twice when I walked over!” Rong Xiang said without changing his expression.

He was now suspecting that Mao Xiaoyu had been impersonated!

However, he was immediately amused by his own thoughts. Who would be so bored to come to the village and pretend to be a village girl?

There were no distinguished people in their village, so how could it be possible?

“I’ve caught a few fish and was thinking about how to bring them back for my mother to eat!” Mao Xiaoyu pointed to the ground and explained.

Speaking of this fish, Rong Xiang had doubts again, but he did not hold them in. “The fish in this pool are famous for their cleverness. How did you catch them?”

As someone who was familiar with the water, it would take a lot of effort for him to catch a fish in the pool.

The muscles on Mao Xiaoyu’s face twitched a little, then she pointed guiltily at the fishing net that had not been pulled up. “That one.”

Rong Xiang looked at where she was pointing and saw a round net the size of a pot mouth not far away, with a long pole attached to it.

“This is for fishing?” Why was this thing so strange? He had never seen it before.

“I don’t know. I picked it up on the way up the mountain.” Mao Xiaoyu did not know how to explain, so she could only spout nonsense.

The fishing net was made with modern craftsmanship. The circles on the net and the thin rod were not things that should exist in this era, so she could not admit that it was hers.

Rong Xiang picked up the net and started to study it.

The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. He could also see that this fish net was different. His action of lowering his head blocked his complicated eyes.

He did not believe that she picked up such a new thing!

He had come to this mountain since he was a child. Why had not he picked it up even once in all these years?

This Mao Daya was definitely not normal!

That’s right, she said her name was Mao Xiaoyu yesterday. Maybe that was the real name of the person in front of her.

There were countless conjectures in his heart, and Rong Xiang had mixed feelings.

He had just fallen for this girl, and he had already discovered so many abnormalities!

He was silent for a long time, so long that Mao Xiaoyu wanted to get rid of the man in front of her.

Did he discover something?

Had her secret been discovered by this man?

What to do?

Mao Xiaoyu was a little flustered.

“How do I use this? I’ll try it too!” Rong Xiang looked at Mao Xiaoyu with great interest.

In a short period of time, he understood that the person he now likes this girl, Mao Xiaoyu.
