"It's a little small, but it can be used to cook fish soup!" As Luo Qiuyun spoke, she tossed Xiaoyu to Luo Tianli who had been following behind her.

In the evening, when they returned to the cave in the cliff, it was already completely dark. Luo Qiuyun then used the darkness to set the firewood on fire.

Since he didn't have fire stones, he used the most traditional method of drilling wood for fire.

The moment the fire was ignited, Luo Tianli was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. At the same time, he was also curious, "Where did my sister learn all these skills?" Luo Tianli only reacted when Luo Qiuyun cleaned the fish and asked him to bring the wok over!

The only pot they still had was the one that the original owner had desperately wanted to take with them when they were fleeing for their lives. Who would have thought that it would now be more convenient for Luo Qiuyun?

Luo Qiuyun then took a rock and set up a small stove. She placed the clay pot on top of it, added water and small fish to boil together, and then put the clean wild mushrooms into the pot. Slowly, a rich fragrance seeped out from the pot.

"Sis, it smells good!" Luo Tianli was very excited. He had forgotten how long it had been since he ate such food. He couldn't help but drool the moment he smelled the fragrance.

"You can eat it later. Hot now, try again." Luo Qiuyun said as she put out the fire to prevent the food from being cooked too long.

Luo Tianli obediently waited on the side when he heard Luo Qiuyun's shout. He tried his best to hold back his saliva until Luo Qiuyun called for him again.

Taking the bowl of fish soup Luo Qiuyun gave him, Luo Tianli sat on the side and drank it slowly, feeling satisfied. Luo Qiuyun also filled a bowl for him, the only two bowls were found in the original owner's package, it was one of the few possessions of Luo Qiuyun and her sister.

"Sis, this soup tastes great, even better than what mother makes." Saying that, Luo Tianli seemed to have thought of something and his mood became much gloomier.

"If it's good, then drink more. Why are you doing it again at such a young age?" She must have sensed the change in her opponent's mood, so she purposely said that.

As expected, Luo Tianli immediately grinned and laughed again!

Luo Qiuyun and Luo Qiuyun finished the entire pot of delicious fish soup and rested on the stone bed while rubbing their bulging stomachs.

"Sis, what should we do in the future? Still going to find Uncle Fang and the others? " Luo Tianli asked.

Luo Qiuyun said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you earlier? If we want to live, we'll have to stay in the mountains. "

"But, Sis, there are tigers in the mountains, we... We can't stay in the mountains forever. " Luo Tianli replied weakly.

"Who said we were going to stay in the mountains? "It's a temporary settlement. Do you understand?" Luo Qiuyun said in annoyance.

"Oh, Sis, when are we going out?" Luo Tianli asked again as if he was curious about the baby.

Luo Qiuyun was obviously impatient and replied coldly: "Go out? Go out and seek death? You know better than I what it is like out there. Besides, we don't have any money or food, so what are we going to eat out here? Where do you live? You think it's good to be a beggar! "

Stunned by Luo Qiuyun's words, Luo Tianli couldn't answer for a long time. Finally, he lowered his head in shame and said, "Sis, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Hmph, what's wrong with that?" Luo Qiuyun was still not in a good mood as she said, "You may be young, but it's not like you don't know anything. You should know what happens when you do something. Think about it yourself."

"Yes, Sis. I know I was wrong." Luo Tianli felt even more ashamed. He lowered his head and said, "I will not mention it again. Even if I have to go out, I will prepare the materials before going out."

"You're not stupid." Luo Qiuyun groaned as her mood improved. "Hurry up and sleep. Tomorrow morning, wake up and bring back some things. I don't know how long we'll be staying here."

"Alright, Sis. I will work hard." Luo Tianli was very sensible.

The night passed in silence. The next morning, the siblings woke up early. They scooped up some water from the cave, washed up, and ate some wild fruits. Then they climbed up the mountain and began to paddle.

The two of them worked together. Because Luo Tianli was young and didn't have much strength, Luo Qiuyun called him over to pick firewood, and also picked some wild vegetables and fruits for his belly.

Luo Qiuyun had great strength, so she took on the role of a porter. She also set up quite a few prey traps in the distant mountain forests, hoping to get some small animals to be smeared with meat and meat.

The siblings had not only brought back enough firewood for five days, they had also dug up quite a few wild vegetables and mushrooms, as well as some wild fruits. Other than the ones they had eaten, the rest of the fruits and vegetables had also been taken away and stored away.

On the second day, and even for a long time afterwards, both brother and sister repeated the same routine. The only difference was that Luo Qiuyun would check the traps every day since the second day. Although there weren't many prey lurking in the vicinity, she would occasionally catch a pheasant or two, or even a bird.

With hope in his life, Luo Tianli was no longer as noisy as before about going out. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying his time away from home.

"Sis, should I go to pick up firewood today? All of the firewood nearby have been collected. If we want to go, we have to go a bit further. " Luo Tianli asked while eating breakfast.

Luo Qiuyun turned around and looked at the firewood in the cave. It was enough for them to burn for a year. She shook her head and said, "We don't need to pick it up for now. The cave might be big, but if there's too much of it, it'll be a waste even if we don't use it!"

"Oh, then Sis, I'll go hunting with you. The weather is getting colder, and we need to save more prey to survive the winter." Luo Tianli said.

"Alright." Luo Qiuyun nodded in agreement.

In fact, Luo Qiuyun had planned out a long time ago to take Luo Tianli to hunt. The goal was to train her body, and since she had her own care, she wasn't worried that any accident would happen to her. Unfortunately, she didn't have any suitable weapons.

After breakfast, the siblings set off with only two simple tools in hand. Luo Qiuyun had used her only kitchen knife to dig up stones.

Because it was Luo Tianli's first time being allowed to hunt, he was especially agitated today. He couldn't wait to get to the location and catch a few mountain creatures to show off in front of his sister.

As for safety, Luo Tianli had never been worried about this ever since he saw Luo Qiuyun breaking a two-hundred-pound tree with her own eyes.

In fact, if Luo Qiuyun didn't have the ability to protect him and Luo Tianli, she wouldn't have chosen to live in the mountains.

Not to mention that, Luo Qiuyun took Luo Tianli along the mountain road and arrived at the valley they usually set out to hunt. Although there were only a few sparrows and a half-dead pheasant, it was still better than nothing.

Afterwards, the two continued to walk towards the mountain. After a bit deeper, they arrived at a shrubbery. There were actually quite a few wild rabbits that roamed about.

According to Luo Qiuyun's intention, she wanted Luo Tianli to learn how to catch wild rabbits and then teach him how to hunt. Who knew that an accident would happen and the wild rabbit didn't get caught, instead, she got a wild boar weighing 180 pounds.

Of course, they were lucky, this wild boar had obviously been scared into this place by a pack of wolves, and because it had accidentally suffered a serious injury while escaping, its dying breath saved Luo Qiuyun and Luo Tianli a lot of effort when they caught it.

However, Luo Tianli was not as talented as Luo Qiuyun. After helping to capture the wild boar, he was on the verge of exhaustion.

In the end, it was still Luo Qiuyun who carried the wild boar back to the cave. Luo Tianli, who was carrying the birds and pheasants, followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the cave, Luo Qiuyun sliced the wild boar into small pieces with a kitchen knife to dry it before cooking it. In addition, the birds and pheasants that were trapped in the cage in the morning also did not escape the same fate.

After packing up, there was only the head of a wild boar and some scattered bones left. Luo Qiuyun did not waste any of them, but instead cooked them a few times and ate them.

In the following few days, Luo Qiuyun hunted a lot of wild rabbits. Aside from the food they wanted, the rest of the rabbit meat was also skewered to dry. Luo Qiuyun kept the rabbit skin to make winter clothes.

The weather was getting colder day by day, and it seemed like Dong Ri was about to arrive. Although Luo Qiuyun didn't spend the winter in this world, she still had the memories of the original owner.

For this reason, these few days, the siblings had been more diligent in hunting in the mountains. However, the majority of their harvests were for little guys like the hare and pheasant. Other than what the two of them usually ate, the rest of the meat was left to dry, and the fur was the same.

Luo Qiuyun had time to count the amount of prey she had harvested in the past few days, so she and her brother had enough to make winter clothes. However, Luo Qiuyun still wanted to make two more sets of blankets before it snowed in order to prevent frostbite in the cave.

On the other side, Luo Tianli had been sharpened for a period of time by Luo Qiuyun, and now he gradually adapted to hunting in the forest. Although he was only eight years old now, he could not be defeated by ordinary prey, and he could even take on a wild boar by himself!

One day, Luo Qiuyun noticed that the nearby prey was becoming harder and harder to find, so she led Luo Tianli to follow the distant mountain. One day, Luo Qiuyun noticed that the nearby prey was becoming harder and harder to encounter, so she led Luo Tianli to follow the nearby mountain.

"Sis, what should we do?" It was obvious that he was afraid. After all, it was the first time he was facing such a dangerous situation. If the wild boar and the wolf pack turned around and attacked them, they would definitely not be able to escape with their strength.

"It's fine, don't panic. Listen to elder sister. Climb onto that tree, remember to be fast." Luo Qiuyun warned.

In fact, she was nervous as there was a huge gap in strength between the two of them. However, this situation did not allow her to be afraid. In addition, in order to prevent a sneak attack from the wolves, Luo Qiuyun had no choice but to settle Luo Tianli first.

Seeing this, Luo Tianli probably knew that if he stayed, he would only implicate his sister. Therefore, after Luo Qiuyun finished her sentence, he immediately rushed under the big tree and quickly climbed up.

At this time, the wild boar and the wolf pack had already stopped their battle. Seeing Luo Tianli climbing the tree, their vigilant eyes became more alert. However, due to the situation between the three sides, the wild boar and the wolf pack didn't dare to make a move.
