Chapter 19 - Flower Woman

After three days, she had caught more than 20 wild pheasants, hares, wild roe deer, and plucked many medicinal herbs. After selling a large portion of the wild vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms, she had obtained a total of more than ten taels of silver and a string of copper coins.

She put them in the space.

But some were still not for sale.

She had been searching for three days and only found two wild ginsengs that were difficult to find this morning and some rare herbs. She planted them in the black soil one by one, and the range of the space slowly increased without her knowing.

The chaos at the edge remained and did not become bright. However, the spiritual energy increased significantly. The medicinal herbs, wild trees, and wild ginseng that were planted a few days ago grew like crazy.

She sensed it and realized that the wild ginseng and medicinal herbs that were not only growing well, they also seemed to have aged.

If this continued, its age would increase, and it would be worth more money. She knew that it would be best if she continued to reap the benefits. After searching through the knowledge in her mind, she knew that this was caused by the expansion of space and the increase of spiritual energy.

As long as it increased, the things planted inside would grow faster and faster.

There would be many benefits in the future!

With the dozen or so taels of silver and copper coins in her space, even if she paid for the custom-made silver needles, she would have enough money on hand. She would not have to rush to raise more money. Similarly, she would not have to find anything to sell.

Not long ago, she had found time to go to the blacksmith's shop to ask. The other party had told her that the silver needles she wanted would not be done so quickly because they were made of silver. It would take another day to finish.

She could go straight into the county and collect them then.

That was after tomorrow.

After these two visits to the county city, Li Fu'er was more familiar with the county city. She knew many places and knew some people.

She would no longer get lost and could not find a place. She was also more familiar with the people from the Zhao Clinic.

They were extremely polite to each other every time.

She had never been to the Zhou medical center again.

She glanced into the distance and checked the sky.

She had gone to the county town in the morning and had not met anyone she knew in three days. She just returned and it was neither too late nor too dark. She was hungry.

Going home wasn't an option.

In the past few days, she returned home later and later. More people were waiting for her, and the people who scolded her were getting more ruthless.

It was getting harder and harder for her to enter Li Yan'er's room.

Li Yan'er had been robbed by her a few times, so she stayed in the room yesterday.

Li Yan'erâ€"

She scooped up a handful of water in the space and applied it to her scar. Her scar disappeared yesterday. There were some marks then, but now there were none. She was as fair as satin again.

Glancing at her features in the water, she stood up. She was in her usual place.

In the morning, she ate the leftover meat from last night. She ate noodles in the county city at noon. It was a large portion of plain noodles.

It tasted very good. She hadn't eaten it since she was a child.

It was different from the noodles she ate in modern times.

She would eat it the next time she entered the county city.

Reflecting on it, she knelt down and lowered the basket into the water, into the river where the water was thick with aquatic plants. She stirred the water with her feet to muddy it, then lifted the basket.

She had learned this method in her previous life.

There were a few fish in the basket all at once. Tiny fish and a big fish struggled in the basket, splashing water all over her.

She backed away, afraid she would drop the basket and the fish would jump out. She quickly took out the wooden basket and filled it with fish.

Then, she caught a few more fish. It was summer now, and there were many fish in the water.

After killing all of them, she started scraping the fish scales. She was tired of eating wild chickens and rabbits these few days, so she wanted a change.

She might be able to catch a few tomorrow and sell them!

After dealing with the fish, she washed her hands to get rid of the fishy smell. She planned to cook a pot of fresh fish soup. She was quick-witted. After lighting the fire, she put some wild vegetables she had picked into the pot.

Then, she found some wild garlic in the space that she had been lucky enough to find in the mountains and crushed it. A strong smell of garlic wafted over. She threw it in and waited until it was all added before covering the pot.

She kept adding fire.

As the fire grew, she retrieved flour from her space and found clean water to wet it. The water wasn't river water. It was the spring water she found while searching for something in the mountains over the past few days. The dough was kneaded into a flatbread.

She also found some wild onions.

She put them in the pot.

There was a faint scent of onions and flour together.

She took the sheet from her space and walked to the river to wash it. The sheet had been in there for days, and she was getting busier every day. There was no time to wash it.

At this moment, she washed it and used a stick to beat the places she couldn't wash. She beat it with all her might for a while before finally beating it clean.

She shook it open and found a branch to dry it.

The sun was still on the horizon. Even if it didn't shine into the forest, it would still reach the base of the mountain.

Her eyes narrowed.

She put down her hand. There were ready-made clothes in her space that she had spent money on. She had bought a set of coarse clothes and a pair of shoes.

She had no time or place to make her own clothes.

Tonight, she could change her clothes.

She had been wearing Li Yan'er's clothes for a few days and they were clean because she washed them diligently, but she just didn't like them!

When the fish soup was ready, she took out the flatbread and bit into it.

The salty flatbread was fragrant with onions. The green onions had been roasted. They were no longer green. Some of them were black and charred. They were delicious. She took several bites in a row.

He took out a bowl of fish soup and drank it.

The fish soup was very fresh and delicious. She drank it again and again, wishing she could bite her tongue off. She had not expected the fish soup to be so delicious.

After a while, she ate the fish with her chopsticks. The meat was delicate, but there were many bones that were small and soft.

But for someone who hadn't eaten fish in a long time, it was good.

In her previous life, she hated picking and spitting out fish bones the most. It was annoying no matter if she used her hands or her mouth!

Therefore, she preferred fish with fewer bones.

Unfortunately, it was very difficult for her to catch any fish with few bones.

After eating the three fishes and drinking most of the fish soup, she was very full. She finished two more flatbreads and could not eat anything else. The rest, the flatbreads and fish soup that she had packed in advance, were brought into the space and given to her father.

She looked around, wanting to make a shack here. That way, she wouldn't have to be afraid of the rain or anything else.

If she didn't want to go back, she could sleep here.

If she encountered danger, she could enter the space!

It just wasn't that easy.

After resting for a while, she filled the wooden bucket she had bought with some water and moved it into the space. She went into the space to sleep and recover her energy.

With the spiritual energy in the space, she slept well and recovered well.

Outside, the sun was setting. It wasn't hot anymore.

She put away the sheets she'd been drying. They were dry from the heat of the wind. She folded them.

At the Li residence at the foot of the mountain.

Smoke rose and fell, the same as in the neighboring household.

After dinner, the Li family sat down.

Madam Li looked at the sky outside and knew that the brat would not return. This b*tch had been like this for the past few days. She could always find a way to hide in Sister Yan's room.

She swept her gaze over the family. She was upset and wanted to flare up.

"Another day on the run. She better not get sold!"

She said it rudely and with hatred.

When Second Li heard this, he wanted to tell his mother what she had gone to do. His honest and dark face darkened even more.

"Stop talking."

Old Master Li knocked the hookah on the table with his hand. With a bang, he interrupted everything unhappily. He looked at the people present and said, "Have dinner." If she didn't come back, so be it. If she was gone, it was her own business!

"Second Brother, you should marry another one."

He looked grimly at Second Brother.

Everyone looked over. Would he remarry?

Second Li's face darkened and he didn't know what to say. "Father, I won't. I won't marry."

"Why aren't you marrying again? What are you thinking? It's allâ€"" Old Master Li was furious and wanted to throw the hookah at him.

Madam Li screamed, "That's right. You should marry someone else."

Thinking of how her eldest grandson had looked for her before leaving, her expression twisted!

"Grandma and Grandpa."

Li Yan'er watched and made a sound. She was most unhappy with Li Fu'er's actions for the past few days. She couldn't stop her and had lost her room.

"Grandma," she called. "I'll look for you later."

Madame Li looked at her. "Okay." What happened to her precious granddaughter?

Madam Yu did not know what her daughter was going to say!

Li Yan'er didn't want to say.

There was more meat for the Li family's dinner today. Li Yan'er wanted to eat it. After Madam Li found out, she specially made it. The entire family ate it, and Li Yan'er ate the most.

After dinner, Li Yan'er pulled Grandma aside and said, "Grandma, Big Sister is very unhappy with our family now. She's like this every day. Why don't we let Big Sister learn something? It's better for her to leave the house like this. I saw the old flower woman return to the village." She didn't have a chance to kill Li Fu'er and couldn't match up to Li Fu'er, so why notâ€"

"You mean the flower woman?" The flower woman was the matchmaker in the village. There were poor families who wanted to sell their children. She would buy them too. Madam Li understood her.

Li Yan'er nodded.

Li Fu'er went home.

She saw Li Yan'er immediately.

She also wanted to give food to her father, who ate it every time.
