Chapter 6: Into the Mountain
The next day, Yi Mingxue got up early, washed briefly, and then started to warm up and practice boxing.
This is a habit she developed in the last days, and she has done it for ten years.
When I practiced for the third time, the fourth child woke up.
With his head on his head, he lay curiously by the door, watching the eldest sister throw a beautiful left hook.
The boy's eyes were immediately starry-eyed and he wanted to clap his hands and cheer!
Yi Mingxue glanced at him from the corner of her eye, "What, you want to learn?"
"Yeah!" Yi Tianlei nodded so excitedly that he didn't even have time to wipe the goo from the corners of his eyes.
Yi Mingxue couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's start with the horse stance!"
The two siblings practiced for half an hour before people in the village started to get up one after another.
When the two returned to the house, the second child was already up and making a fire to boil water.
Yi Mingxue took out a small bag of flour from the space, added water and wild onion segments, and mixed it into a thick cake liquid.
Then I threw the remaining fat butter from yesterday into the pot. The aroma of the oil immediately melted in the pot, making an enticing sizzling sound.
Yi Mingxue spread the pancakes neatly with her hands and feet, put them into the pot one by one, and fried them until they were crispy, soft, and golden on both sides.
In an instant, the fragrance of oil overflowed and the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance.
I was so greedy that I quickly got up with some diced radish and washed my face.
Not long after, a pot of fragrant fried shortbread came out of the pan.
Yi Laosi is an impatient person, and he just reaches out and wants to grab it.
Yi Mingxue gently slapped her away, "Why are you so anxious? Wait a minute!"
She went around to the back of the house and picked a handful of black cabbage stained with morning dew.
After washing with water, wrap the pancakes in the middle of vegetable leaves, and then pass them to several smaller ones.
This dish is particularly cold-resistant, especially after frost. It is not only sweet but also rich in nutrients.
After several people had breakfast, Yi Mingxue called her second-in-command Yi Qingqing, handed her a small half bag of white rice, and gave instructions.
"I'm going to go into the mountains today. You should take good care of your brothers and sisters and take the time to wash the dirty clothes at home."
Before leaving, she was still a little worried, so she took two cakes and knocked on the door of Aunt Li's house.
"Auntie, I have to go out today for something, could you please help me keep an eye on some children."
She was not afraid of anything else, but that her uncle's family would hear about what happened last night and come to her house to cause trouble while she was away.
Aunt Li agreed immediately, but this time she refused to accept Yi Mingxue's fried cakes at all.
"You have so many mouths at home, just keep it for yourself! I still have some food left at home."
"Also, Girl Yi! Auntie, I don't care where you came from and how you got these foods, but there are a lot of people with bad intentions in the village, so you have to be careful."
Yi Mingxue nodded and silently wrote down this kindness.
When she turned around, she found Yi Changle hiding in the corner, secretly observing her.
Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly had an idea in her mind.
"Third, Fourth, let's go! Follow me into the mountains!"
Yi Tianlei was so happy that he almost jumped up!
Yi Changle's face suddenly turned pale. Is the eldest sister's revenge finally coming? Are you planning to throw her into the mountains to feed wild wolves?
The little girl followed Yi Mingxue anxiously all the way. She didn't know what was going on in her head, and her face turned blue and purple.
Yi Mingxue didn't explain it either, so let her be frightened like this and see if she dared to do it again in the future!
In winter, the mountains are desolate and decadent.
Yi Mingxue was not in a hurry. She only went to the mountain to show the people in the village. She had to find a reasonable source for her abundant supplies.
She had to do a complete show, and since there was nothing in the outer mountains, she simply took the two carrots and walked to the deeper and more dangerous inner mountains.
In order to prove that he was still useful, Yi Changle searched hard along the way.
However, Yi Mingxue just taught the fourth child some hunting skills as she walked, without even looking at her seriously.
She was really lucky, as she found a nest of wild pine fungi under a dry stream.
"Sister! Look what I found?" Yi Changle was overjoyed and called Yi Mingxue like a treasure.
However, Yi Mingxue had no time to talk to her at this time.
Because, she actually found a row of mountain wolf footprints next to the water stream.
Following the footprints, Yi Mingxue quickly found the mountain wolf's lair. She saw an adult male wolf lying in the grass, resting.
Yi Mingxue looked around and saw that the third child was still far away. So, she made a hissing gesture at the fourth child, drew out the black iron blade, and sneaked over quietly.
"Help—sister, come and save me!"
Suddenly, Yi Changle's cry for help came from the mountain stream.
The male wolf was instantly awakened and immediately discovered Yi Mingxue and the others.
Yi Mingxue had no choice but to give up the attack, turned around and ran towards the mountain stream.
Unexpectedly, these mountain wolves are actually a pair.
At this moment, a female wolf was blocking in front of Yi Changle, letting out dangerous low roars. The three siblings were instantly caught between front and rear attacks.
There was no other way, so Yi Mingxue had no choice but to quickly take out a numb crossbow and hand it to the fourth child.
While attacking the male wolf, he taught on the spot, "Aim at the vital point and pull the trigger! Remember, there are only three bullets in total. If you can't hit you two, you will serve as lunch for the female wolf!"
After that, he fought with the male wolf.
Yi Mingxue's body is so bulky now that even a few attempts can't do anything to it.
Fortunately, Yi Tianlei had some talent. Although the first two shots missed, the last shot finally hit the she-wolf.
Villains are also good as villains. They are very strong in luck and vitality at critical moments.
Without worries, Yi Mingxue became more at ease.
After several rounds of fighting, he caught the male wolf's flaw. In the flash of lightning and flint, he raised the knife and dropped it, only to hear the sound of "Puff——".
The sharp black iron blade pierced the male wolf's belly, and his internal organs were gushing all over the floor. There were still some undigested animal carcasses vaguely visible inside.
At the same time, the anesthetic in the female wolf's body took effect, and she wailed and fell to the ground.
The third and fourth children immediately ran to Yi Mingxue's side, grabbing the hem of her clothes and not daring to let go.
Yi Tianlei's face was full of excitement and admiration, "Sister, this little bow and arrow is so powerful! Where did you find it?"
Unexpectedly, this time Yi Changle was uncharacteristic and retorted, "No, it's obvious that the eldest sister is more powerful!"
Yi Mingxue took a few breaths, and she was surprised to find that her body seemed to be more flexible than yesterday.
At this time, there was a sudden sound in the grass.
Liu Er dug through the bushes and came out. After seeing the two mountain wolves clearly on the ground, he showed an expression of disbelief.
"Sister Yi, what are you..."
