Yunxi looked at herself, busy and never stopping since her rebirth. Even though she had prepared so many delicious dishes for herself, she never actually ate any of the meat.

I feel so pathetic!

Silently calculating the time in my mind, I realized that there were still about ten days left before I could be unsealed.

Then I can eat whatever I want without any worries.

Every time I enter the space with my spiritual energy, seeing those large bowls of braised meat inside makes my mouth water.

I can only try to ignore them each time so that I won't keep thinking about them, but how can I really stop thinking about them?

While thinking about something, his hands kept cutting without stopping for a moment.

I wonder if the sisters Yun Zhaodi and Yun Pandi have been discovered by others. With so many people going up the mountain, they must have been spotted.

If they didn't die, then they're really lucky. We should keep going when we run into them again; we need to keep giving them more excitement in their lives.

If they hadn't been discovered by others and had died down that hillside, it could only mean they were unlucky, and that fate had decided to take them at that time.

And my uncles and fourth uncles have helped me a lot, so I can't forget to thank them.

Since I'm planning to go up the mountain tomorrow, I might as well go deep into the mountains and catch more game to repay them.

Since no one has come looking for trouble yet, it means they've handled things well. If we happen to encounter a wild boar tomorrow, we'll just bring one back for them.

Then, pretend you've encountered an injured wild boar, take care of it yourself, and then call them up the mountain to carry the boar away. This way, you won't expose yourself.

Liujia Village

Liu Dabao's parents have been wondering these past few days why they haven't seen their youngest son for so many days.

Did you get into trouble again? Is that why you're hiding?

However, they weren't too worried because their youngest son had a criminal record, and they knew he must have been stealing and hiding.

This has happened often before, so even though I haven't been back for so many days this time, it hasn't caught their attention. They thought I would come back after a while, just like before.

Little did they know that the youngest son they spoke of had already been dealt with by someone else for making a mistake.

They'll never see their youngest son return in this lifetime.

Even if he never comes back, they probably won't suspect anything. After all, their son is a petty thief and a lazy bum. They probably wouldn't be surprised if he died out there one day.

Although they doted on their youngest son, the elderly couple were getting on in years and still needed to rely on their other sons for support. So, they were only sad for a moment before letting it go.

The things Yunxi was thinking about, like coming to cause trouble for her, were simply impossible.

In this rural area, surrounded by deep mountains and forests, and with a large river dozens of kilometers away, it's quite normal for one or two people to die.

There are simply too many people who die for no reason in the river or deep in the mountains.

Even if they guessed that their youngest son was gone, they would only grieve for a while, or mobilize the family to search for him. If they couldn't find him, they would just let it go.

For Yunxi, the peach tree spirit, killing one or two humans was nothing to be afraid of. Just like when she was a peach tree spirit, killing one or two wild boars was a normal thing.

In this era, the country was newly established, and nothing was perfect. Everything was handled directly within the clan and would not be passed on to the outside world, or even out of the village. Things were kept tightly under wraps within the village.

After Yunxi finished cutting all the fat, there was no sound outside. Everyone was asleep, except for the occasional croaking of frogs.

Although it's already quite late, it feels a bit too early to start rendering oil and frying small fish now.

Therefore, we cannot take action for the time being.

Yunxi thought about the cabbage and radish seeds she had planted last night, and decided to water them now.

I only noticed the things in the yard when I was about to leave. They were still outside, so I quickly put them inside and planned to take them out to air them tomorrow.

He took the key, locked the door, and wandered off alone to his private plot.

Before Yunxi even reached the location of her private plot, she could hear sparse sounds coming from the fields near the foot of the mountain, including the sound of digging.

I was startled at first, thinking that there were still people working in the fields so late.

After listening carefully, I realized it wasn't a human at all; it was clearly the grunting of a wild boar.

Unexpectedly, less than a month before the corn and potato harvest, wild boars began to come down from the mountain and compete with the villagers for the grain.

Usually, when the grain is almost ready for harvest, the village will arrange for people to guard the foot of the mountain.

I didn't expect it to be so fast this time. The wild boars have already come down the mountain. Could something have happened in the mountains?

Why are wild boars running out of food so quickly?

So they've already come down from the mountain to look for food before the autumn harvest?

Of course, these are just Yunxi's guesses. Since they have already heard the wild boars calling over there, they certainly cannot let them go.

Yunxi cautiously walked towards the direction of the wild boars' calls, intending to check their numbers. Judging from the grunting sounds, there seemed to be quite a few of them.

I was just thinking that I would go deep into the mountains and forests tomorrow to hunt wild boars for the villagers, and now the wild boars have been delivered to my doorstep.

Since we've already come to visit, let's not go back. It would be nice to serve everyone a bowl of meat and vegetables.

I walked over carefully, trying not to make any noise with my footsteps, and from a distance I could see movement coming from the few acres of cornfield at the foot of the mountain.

Yunxi's eyes could see clearly even in the darkness. The cornfield was in a mess, and there was a lot of noise inside, so it was obvious that there were quite a few wild boars inside.

Quietly approaching, I quickly got to the side of the wild boars. As long as they were within a five-meter radius of me, all the wild boars were stored in my spatial storage.
