Chapter 5: Going up the mountain and meeting the hero

Shen Shuyu drank a bowl of brown sugar water, chatted with Old Lady Shen for a while, and then went to take a shower.

After coming back from taking a shower and lying on the kang in a daze for a while, she fell asleep. Shen Shuyu thought that she would suffer from insomnia on the first night after traveling through time, but in fact, she was overthinking it and slept soundly until dawn.

It was Old Mrs. Shen who woke her up to eat breakfast, and the family had breakfast and went to work as usual.

Shen Shuyu yawned and went back to her room to take a nap. She slept until noon when she felt hungry and got up. Lunch was prepared by Old Lady Shen when she came back. She made an egg pancake for Shen Shuyu and brought it to her room. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Old Lady Shen did not wake her up.

After eating the omelet, Shen Shuyu filled a kettle with water, put on her backpack and planned to go up the mountain for a walk.

At this time, everyone was working in the fields, and I didn't meet many people on the way out. But when I got to the mountain, I met many children from the village. They were either cutting grass for pigs, digging wild vegetables, or taking bird eggs.

The children in the village were very happy to see Shen Shuyu. They ran towards her one by one and said, "Sister Shuyu, Sister Shuyu, you are here. Does your head still hurt?"

There are no secrets in the team. Everyone in the team knows that Shen Shuyu fainted and bit his forehead because of the anger of his third aunt's wife.

These little kids naturally knew this. Even though Shen Shuyu didn't get along very well with girls of the same age, she was very popular in front of these little kids. She was the king among the kids.

Shen Shuyu took out a few pieces of sweet potato chips from his pocket and shared them with the little naughty kids. "I'm fine."

After taking Shen Shuyu's dried sweet potatoes, these little naughty kids brought the wild fruits they found to Shen Shuyu, "Sister Shuyu, these are the wild strawberries we found. They are so sweet. Sister Shuyu, have some. After you finish eating, we will go find more."

Shen Shuyu was not polite at all and put all the money into his pocket. "Those of you who need to cut grass for pigs should cut grass for pigs, and those who need to play should play. Gather at the old place later. If I find a pheasant, I will roast it for you to eat."

Shen Shuyu and these little naughty kids have a secret base. Normally, when Shen Shuyu hunts game, he roasts it there.

"Got it, Sister Shuyu. We'll find some more wild fruits for you to eat."

A few little naughty kids scattered and ran away to other places.

Shen Shuyu walked in another direction according to his memory. There were many wild animals often appearing there, and only Shen Shuyu knew about it.

Of course, only Shen Shuyu dared to approach that place, no one else had the courage.

The place she went to was the entrance to the deep mountains. According to the older generation of the Shenjiaba Brigade, there were big beasts in the deep mountains, and usually people didn't dare to get close to this place.

Shen Shuyu didn’t know if there were really big beasts here. Anyway, as far as the original owner could remember, she had never encountered one when she came to the entrance of the mountains.

Eating wild strawberries while walking, not to mention the wild strawberries were really sweet, Shen Shuyu felt so satisfied while eating them.

When she reached the entrance to the mountains, Shen Shuyu saw two jumping rabbits. She picked up two stones and threw them casually. The stones hit the rabbits' heads accurately and both rabbits fell down.

When the original owner was a child, he often sneaked up the mountain and met an old man in the mountain. The old man was very skilled and could hunt. The original owner learned a lot of skills from him. No one knew about this except the original owner and the old man.

The original owner wanted to tell Old Man and Old Lady Shen about meeting a powerful old man, but she promised the old man not to tell anyone, so the original owner did not tell them.

The granddaughter ran up the mountain every day. Old Mrs. Shen and Old Man Shen thought that their granddaughter liked to play in the mountain, so they didn't restrict her.

Speaking of that old man, he was quite mysterious. The original owner followed him and learned skills for five years, but she didn't even know his last name or name. The original owner asked him every day, but the old man didn't reveal a single word and let her call him whatever she wanted.

If the old grandfather stopped talking, the original owner would not be bothered anymore and would just call him Grandpa all the time. Just when the original owner had almost learned the old grandfather's skills, the old grandfather disappeared. The original owner was sad for quite a while.

Shen Shuyu felt that he was quite lucky to have been born into the body of a favored and capable girl.

Even though she is a security guard in the 21st century, she can't protect anyone. She is just a mascot in the security team. She slacks off at work every day and receives a salary of 8,000 yuan every month with peace of mind.

Anyway, she is just a useless person who can do nothing anywhere, so it is actually not bad for her to be transmigrated into this book world.

After a walk around the entrance to the mountains, Shen Shuyu gained a lot, including four wild rabbits, three pheasants, a nest of pheasant eggs, and a lot of green wild vegetables.

Shen Shuyu put all the pheasants, hares, pheasant eggs and wild vegetables into a backpack, hid the backpack in the grass, and held a pheasant in his hand, promising to roast the pheasant for the little kids.

Shen Shuyu went to the old place where she had made an appointment with the little kids. There were already three little kids waiting for her.

Goudan, Maodan, and Heidan rushed towards her like little cannonballs, "Sister Shuyu, you are amazing. You caught another pheasant. Yeah! We can have roasted pheasant to eat."

Shen Shuyu touched their heads and said, "Be happy, you have meat to eat."

How could the three eggs not be happy? They hadn't eaten meat at home for several months, and they started drooling the moment they saw the pheasant.

Their sister Shu Yu is so kind to them, even better than their own sister. Goudan patted his chest and said, "Sister Shu Yu, when we grow up, we will protect you and make money to buy meat for you."

Maodan and Heidan nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, that's right."

"Then I'll wait."

Don't underestimate these little kids, they will really come to the rescue if something happens to Shen Shuyu. If any aunt or aunt in the village says something bad about Shen Shuyu, they will be the first to be unhappy, and they will chatter away at the adults like a cannonball.

This is also the reason why Shen Shuyu is willing to be nice to these little kids.

Goudan and his friends have already prepared the rack for roasting the pheasant, and have also collected a lot of firewood.

Shen Shuyu prepared the pheasant and pierced it onto a wooden stick. Then Shen Shuyu no longer had to do anything and Goudan took over the job of roasting the pheasant.

Shen Shuyu found a big rock to lie on, holding a leaf in his mouth, and humming a few tunes from time to time. Goudan, Heidan and Maodan were very supportive. No matter how bad Shen Shuyu's humming was, they applauded and said it was nice.

Shen Shuyu: I finally met someone who understands me!

The pheasant was almost roasted, and several other children came, each carrying a backpack filled with a basket of pig grass.

When the children saw the golden roasted pheasant on the rack, their eyes sparkled and they couldn't help but drool. "Sister Shu Yu, you are better than those old hunters in the village. You caught the pheasant in a short time."

Life was really hard those days. Adults and children alike had sallow faces and their clothes and shoes were covered with patches.

These boys are at the age of growing up. Even if the food at home is given to the young ones, they still don’t feel full. They are so happy to be able to eat meat with Shen Shuyu.

"Sit down and divide the meat and eat."

After the pheasant was roasted and cooled down a little, she began to divide the meat. She tore off two large chicken legs, found two large leaves to wrap them up, and planned to take them home for Old Man and Old Lady Shen to eat.

Shen Shuyu had no knife to tear the remaining chicken into pieces with her hands. Each piece was just the right size, neither too big nor too small, and she shared it equally among them.

There were fifteen children in total. The pheasant was not big, so each person could only get two pieces. Even if it was just two pieces of meat and dog eggs, they were already very satisfied.

"Sister Shuyu, don't you want to eat?"

The children knew that the chicken legs were to be taken home for Grandpa and Grandma Shen. When they saw that Shen Shuyu didn't leave any for them, Goudan asked.

"I won't eat anymore. You guys eat it."

The roasted pheasant had no seasoning at all, so Shen Shuyu didn't like it, but Goudan and the others ate it with relish.

"I'm going to go somewhere else. After you finish eating, clean up here. Remember to rinse your mouth with water when you go back. Don't let your family know that I roasted pheasant for you."

It is a secret between Shen Shuyu and these children that they don't let the parents know what game they roasted. Goudan and the others are very tight-lipped, but they have to be. Sister Shuyu said that if anyone of them tells, she will ignore them and won't roast game for them.

They are not afraid of being beaten, but they are afraid of having no meat to eat!

Now everything in the mountains belongs to the collective. Normally, whoever goes up the mountain to catch any game will take it home quietly, and everyone will turn a blind eye. If someone hunts a wild animal and puts it in the open and you don't hand it in, you are taking advantage of the collective, and the consequences can be serious or minor. Shen Shuyu didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he talked about this matter seriously.

Shen Shuyu remembered that the mushrooms at home were almost gone, and Old Mrs. Shen was still talking about it last night.

She wandered around aimlessly for more than an hour and finally found wild mushrooms. She took them home and dried them. They were very fragrant whether used for cooking or making soup.

There are a lot of wild mushrooms here. Shen Shuyu went back to the entrance of the mountain to get the basket.

After taking out the backpack and picking all the wild mushrooms in this area, Shen Shuyu planned to go down the mountain as it was getting late and she still had to make a trip to the black market.

As I was walking, my feet were grabbed by a pair of hands, and a man's weak voice rang out, "Save me!"

Shen Shuyu thought she was entangled by something dirty and was shocked. She instinctively kicked away the thing that was tugging at her feet.

With a thud, the man groaned and fainted.

Shen Shuyu took a closer look, oh, it was not what she thought, it turned out to be a person. Tsk, that's quite tragic. He was already seriously injured and was kicked away by her, making his injuries even more serious.

Shen Shuyu made several "tsk" sounds, without any sense of remorse in her heart.

She recognized the man in front of her. This bastard was the male protagonist in the book. In the original book, the original owner's tragic beginning was because he picked up this bastard and took him home.

It is said that wild flowers on the roadside should not be picked. Shen Shuyu thinks that wild men should not be picked either. Whoever picks them up will be unlucky for the rest of his life.

She looked left and right, but didn't look at the dying man at her feet. She stepped directly on his legs, jumped twice, and stepped on his face several times.

I was frightened by him, this bastard must compensate her for mental damages.

Shen Shuyu squatted down and felt around in his pockets, then he found ten yuan and a food coupon.

Putting the money in his pocket, Shen Shuyu kicked him several times angrily, "You bastard, bring more money with you next time you go out."

She was very strong, and Zhou Jingchen was already seriously injured. He could not withstand her kicking and stomping, and he had lost consciousness long ago.

After kicking the guy, she walked down the mountain humming a little tune happily.

Shen Shuyu did not go home immediately, but walked to another mountain road in her memory. The original owner was a smart person. She seldom brought home any game she hunted, but always took it to the black market to make money.

The same is true for Shen Shuyu now.

There was no amount of meat enough for a large family, and the three aunts-in-law all had their own ideas. Even if she brought more home, they would not remember her kindness but instead complain that the game she hunted was not enough.

It is enough for her to bring back some game occasionally. Too much will whet their appetites.
