It was almost noon, and almost every household at the foot of the Green Ox Mountain had already started preparing lunch. Smoke rose from the chimneys of every household. The white smoke of the red tiles and the laughter of the children running in the fields were mixed in with the shouts of the adults calling for their children to come home for dinner. Under the cover of the silent green mountains, this scene seemed like a paradise.

However, Wen Jingrong was not in the mood to appreciate this scene. At this moment, she was squatting behind a big banyan tree with her breath up her throat. Ten meters away, in the upper air vent, was a four meter deep trap that she had dug a few days ago. She had been following the mountain pig for quite some time. It was very smart and vigilant. Wen Jingrong had tried to rope it with a rope, but the moment she got close, it caught her scent and she ran away.

I hope this trap will work! She silently watched the wild boar that weighed at least five hundred pounds. It was following the path it was used to, and was slowly approaching the trap she had set without knowing anything …

With a loud boom, the 500 pound wild boar let out a shrill howl and fell straight down, raising a huge cloud of dust.

Wen Jingrong, who was still flying in the air, ran to the edge of the trap in a few steps. The Mountain Pig seemed to have broken its leg when it fell, but it couldn't stand up even though it was dragging half of its body. It noticed Wen Jingrong, who was standing above the hole.

It was the height of summer, and if the wild boar was killed, the pork would soon start to stink. And to get to the town of Bluestone, which was the closest to Niu Village, he would have to walk for at least an hour or two. In the past half year that Wen Jingrong had been here, she had gone to the only restaurant to trade for copper coins. Even a live pheasant could only trade for half a copper coin.

As the weather got hotter and hotter, Wen Jingrong went to the restaurant several times to sell her prey. However, the shopkeeper always held the excuse that the meat was hard to sell and beat her price a few times. This time, although she was happy to have caught such a big wild boar, she was also in a difficult situation. If he brought them back to the village and the restaurant refused to accept them, then the meat would be too smelly for him to eat. He might as well trade them for food with the people in the village.

Wen Jingrong made up her mind and hastily covered the trap as usual. This place was very deep, and people with Niu Village normally wouldn't dare to come here. It was only Wen Jingrong who, relying on her background from her previous life, dared to come here. Therefore, she wasn't worried at all about the wild boar being stolen.

When she went down the mountain, because she was happy, she quickly returned to the small house built at the side of the mountain with the Wen Family. Looking from afar, she saw that her own chimney was smoking white smoke from cooking, she felt her heart warm and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise as she gently pushed open the slightly old wooden door.

"Little Treasure is back."

The wooden house was not big, only two rooms.

After entering the room, he found himself in a kitchen, a bedroom, and Wen Jingrong's blind brother, Niu Dabao. The one at the back was Wen Jingrong's. It was also used as a utility room to prevent Niu Dabao from bumping into her while he was walking.

"Okay, brother, what do we have for lunch?" She asked as she lifted the lid of the pot. Like everything else in the room, it was broken and missing a hole at the side. Wen Jingrong had nailed a thin piece of wood to it to make it up.

"I've been simmering half a pheasant left over from yesterday, and it's not broken. At noon, I placed half a bowl of rice with chicken soup and drank some porridge. "

Niu Dabao, who was behind the stove, explained to his sister.

Because his eyes weren't good, Niu Dabao couldn't do farm work, so he wasn't as dark as the farmers at the foot of the mountain. On the contrary, because he lived in the mountains all year round and couldn't get much sun, his skin was very white. His thin face had a crescent-shaped eye, and his eyelashes were thick and thick.

Although the small house was built in the middle of the mountain and was much cooler than the houses at the foot of the mountain, it was still quite hot to sit behind the stove and it was not an easy job.

When Wen Jingrong had just passed through, the owner of this body had a hole in his head. It was said that he had fallen down from the mountain and knocked his head away. In order to treat his sister's illness, Niu Dabao sold the two acres of paddy field left behind by his ancestors. Because he couldn't see them, the brother and sister pair relied on a few kind-hearted clan members to manage the two acres of paddy field, which was just barely enough for them to get warm and full.

It was a pity that the original Niu Xiaobao was still unable to return. Now, his body had changed to that of Wen Jingrong, a member of the Special Forces from the future. Strictly speaking, it was not 'the future'. Wen Jingrong could tell from the story she heard from the market gathering in the Green Stone Town that the West Chu was not the power established by the tyrant in history. Judging by the clothing and measurement units, the West Chu was closer to the Ming dynasty of the world she came from. This was probably the legendary parallel world. Because she had no access to the history books, books were like the Ming Dynasty in this world, they were a luxury item. Even ordinary people found it hard to read, so she had no idea where history ended up.

However, her current identity was only Niu Xiaobao from Niu Village. Usually, the biggest officer she would meet would be Third Uncle Li from Niu Village, not to mention that without the paddy field that she was relying on, finding a way to feed her family's two mouths everyday would become Wen Jingrong's biggest problem. When she first came here, she was lying on the sickbed every day. Niu Dabao, whose eyes were still unsightly, used the remaining 10 or so copper coins he had left to grab the medicine and exchanged them for a small bag of old corn flour and sorghum noodles. The two siblings relied on each other for survival. They only drank two bowls of porridge a day. Under the malnutrition, Wen Jingrong had to rest for a month before she could recover.

Wen Jingrong, who had recovered from her injuries, looked at the wooden house with its four walls and the bags of mixed grains and noodles that had been left beside the stove. She knew that they wouldn't be able to survive the winter if she couldn't think of a way. Therefore, even though Niu Dabao was worried that she would enter the mountain again, Wen Jingrong still felt the gap in the wood knife and went up the mountain. That evening, the two siblings ate their first full meal since winter, with a skinny rabbit she had brought home.

Since there was no money in the house and he couldn't see, Niu Dabao knew he couldn't stop her, so he could only stay home and cook, doing whatever he could. Wen Jingrong was worried that he might hurt her, so she tried to persuade him a few times. Niu Dabao would only smile gently at this point and didn't say anything. But the next time she came home, Niu Dabao had already finished cooking.

The siblings were truly the same kind of obstinacy. While she was recuperating on the bed, Wen Jingrong had already treated Niu Dabao as her own brother after seeing all the things Niu Dabao had done for her. Wen Jingrong's heart couldn't help but feel a bit of pity as she watched his slightly pale face being roasted red by the dancing stove fire, with beads of perspiration as big as beans constantly dripping down his forehead.

If Niu Dabao didn't have any eyes, he would have ran around for a long time at his "old age" of almost nineteen years old. But unfortunately, he was born in a rural area where the labor force was large, and even if he had an empty face, there would still be no girl in the village who would want to marry him.

Marry a man and marry a man. Dressing and eating with clothes on is the way to go.
