It was almost time to go back and cook lunch, so she hurried home with her back basket filled with various sizes of fish.

As she went down the mountain along the forest path, she looked up and saw a bird’s nest in a tree on the right slope.

A poisonous snake, as thick as two fingers, was slithering up the tree trunk. Any ordinary person would have kept their distance.

She threw her hatchet with the sharp side out, and the blade accurately severed the snake’s head, with the snake’s body and head falling down the tree trunk and onto the slope. The snakehead stopped moving.

The snake’s body curved and rolled down the slope, landing on the path in front of her.

She picked up her hatchet, squatted down, took off her back basket and placed it on the path, then chopped off the snake’s tail, removed its internal organs, and peeled off its skin. She wrapped the snake meat pieces in a large tree leaf and put them in her basket filled with fish.

The snake was likely climbing the tree to get the bird’s nest, which probably contained bird eggs.

She took three steps up the slope and, with her body as agile as a monkey, climbed the tree, happily discovering that there were indeed bird eggs in the nest – nine eggs, to be exact.

With both hands holding the bird eggs, she jumped straight down from the tree, bounced off the slope, and safely returned to the path.

Although she was worth over nine figures in modern times, she was now excited over a few eggs.

As the saying goes, poverty limits ambition – but there was no other choice.

Looking at the clutch of eggs in her hand, she realized that she had not eaten eggs since coming to the ancient times, and her mouth began to water.

Not to mention the delicious snake soup.

Although the snake was poisonous, the family needed nutrition, so it was better to use it in cooking.

There weren’t many prey in the mountains near the village because there were too many villagers nearby.

In fact, with her skill, she could go hunting. She had been trained in wilderness survival in her past life when she lived in modern times. Some of her targets were in places where there were no villages or houses, and being a good killer required adapting to different environments.

Even now, with a house to live in, she could survive if she were thrown into the mountains.

In her spare time, she enjoyed researching delicious food, especially since her fiancé in her past life was a picky eater. She had further honed her cooking skills to become masterful.

She wrapped the bird eggs in tree leaves as well, placed them in her full back basket, and returned home with the hatchet and basket in tow.

She found that there were fewer people in this direction of the mountains than other areas. Perhaps it was because of the hot weather, so she didn’t encounter anyone on the road.

She returned home with her spoils of war.

As she walked past the yard, the three men in the master bedroom were sitting on the bed, their faces full of excitement when they saw her return. Their surprise was evident upon seeing the full basket of fish and the tree leaves covering something else on top of the fish.

How had she managed to catch so many fish in such a short time?

Su Qingyue entered the kitchen, put down her back basket and hatchet, and picked up a wooden ladle to scoop water from the water jar, gulping down the entire ladleful.

She had already drunk water in the mountains, but she was still thirsty.

She went back to the master bedroom and checked the water pot on the desk, which was indeed empty. She took the water pot to the kitchen and filled it up with water.

After some thought, she moved the secondary bedroom’s table next to the master bedroom’s bed. She placed the water pot on the table and glanced at the three men, “Do any of you want water?”

All three shook their heads.

“We just had some,” said Xiao Yuchuan sympathetically. “You must be tired, wife. Sit down and rest.”

“Yue’er…”

“Qingyue…”

Xiao Qinghe and Yishan both spoke at the same time. Her gaze swept over them, but she didn’t say anything, waiting for them to continue speaking.

“Go wash your face with a basin of water,” Xiao Qinghe said timidly..
