Chapter 1: Catching the Snake

86_86881 Verdant and quiet mountain forests, clear and sweet mountain springs, and the rising smoke and the sound of chickens and dogs in the distance, it is a beautiful scenery by the mountains and rivers.

This used to be the idyllic world that the forest fish longed for. Although I am in it now, I am tired of running around for my livelihood, and I have long lost my quiet mood.

With his own bamboo baskets and bamboo clips, the forest fish walked to the mountains and forests with the dew of early spring.

It has been more than ten days since she crossed into this other world, she was already married in her previous life, and she thought that she would live a dull life, but she couldn't withstand the itch of seven years.

Two ventilated grass huts on all sides, except for a broken bed and broken cabinets, there is nothing else in the house. There is no surplus food and money, no parents, and a pair of cheap siblings. All three of them have yellow skin, thin hair, and look like they have been malnourished for a long time.

On the day she woke up, her six-year-old sister Ling'er told her that since her mother was taken away, the family had been alone with Lin Yu picking wild vegetables in the mountains to wrap her stomach, and because of Lin Yu's sudden fainting, she and her three-year-old brother Lin Qi had been hungry for a while.

In the following days, Lin Yu sadly shouldered the burden of the family and began to take care of the two younger siblings.

In the memory left by the original owner, the Lin family was considered an outsider in this village, and their family originally lived in the town, and their father Lin Xiandong was a talented master of Lingshan Town when he was alive.

Two years ago, Lin Xiucai suffered from a serious disease, and the search for medical treatment in all directions had little effect, and he spent all his old savings, and the second elder of the Lin family was also an outsider in this place when he was alive.

Although he was a dowry, he still owed a large amount of medical expenses, and after paying off the only remaining house in the town to pay for the medical expenses, he had no place to stay in the town, and finally had to move to Hequ Village, which was not far from the town, with his three children.

A family of four had just moved here, and they were still breathing a sigh of relief, Xiao Yuanwai, who was hundreds of miles away, received the news that Xiao was brought by Xiao's trustee, and actually sent someone to take Xiao away from here overnight, but left their three sisters and brothers alone, Lin Yu didn't know the reason, but guessed that it might be because the three of them were not surnamed Xiao.

This kind of speculation is not Lin Yu's crankiness, after all, there is indeed this custom in ancient times, it is said that the daughter who marries out is like spilling out of the water, marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, and the widow of a dead man in the family has to be widowed for at least three years, and after three years, the mother-in-law's family can only remarry or return to her mother's house, and if you don't agree, you will keep it for a lifetime, so there will be a martyr who does not serve the second husband, and the chastity archway is said; A widow can go back to her mother's house, but her descendants must stay in her mother-in-law's house, after all, the surname of the descendant is the surname of her mother-in-law. The situation of her family like Lin Yu is logically normal, but that is in the case of their clan, the current Lin family has no pillars and no clansmen with the same surname, Xiao Yuanwai is rich and distressed about his daughter, and it stands to reason that he should bring a few grandchildren with him when he takes his daughter away, but Xiao Yuanwai is a typical iron rooster, and they all say that the richer he is, the more he picks the door, and from the memory of the original owner, he can know that Xiao and Lin Xiucai have been married for ten years, and they have seen the cheap grandfather very few times, she once heard her mother Xiao and Lin Xiucai talk and said, Xiao Yuanwai warned her that she didn't have to come and go often, it would be very expensive. No matter how much such a person loves his daughter, he still doesn't value it more than money, so it should be impossible for him to help others raise their children. As for bringing Xiao Shiqiang back, it is estimated that it depends on her yellow flowers, and she can find a good home to make use of the surplus value.

After Xiao was taken away, there was no news, and the sensible original owner led his younger brothers and sisters to live hungry and cold, until the soul of the forest fish in later generations crossed over.

Lin Yu silently pitied the family and the original owner who had left in his heart, and secretly told him that he must take good care of her younger siblings and create a free life for them not to be rich and rich, but to be safe and self-sufficient.

And the grievances and grievances of the previous life, after this period of tempering, she has deliberately forgotten it, and she doesn't want to return to her own time, it is also a good thing for her to wear here, although it is a little bitter but acceptable, now she is full of how to eat and how to live well.

Lin Yu guessed that the original owner should have left because of hunger and fatigue, thinking that she almost couldn't stand such hardships as an adult, but she was sensible and could take care of her younger siblings for so long, and she didn't take her younger siblings out to beg for food very strongly.

When she first started picking wild vegetables, she dragged her malnourished body, and she had to breathe for a long time after walking a few steps, and she couldn't hold the wild vegetables that the three of them ate at all. Unfortunately, the body has not yet recovered, but there is no food stored at home, so the matter of picking wild vegetables must continue no matter what. The sensible Ling'er was afraid that she would faint and no one would care about going up the mountain, so she pestered her brother to follow her all the way, and Lin Yu did not dare to be strong, her physical condition was clear, maybe it would be miserable to faint after going up the mountain, so in the end, she and Ling'er carried the only valuable iron pot in the family to the mountain, picked up the stones and built a simple stove, and then Ling'er took the wild vegetables to the nearby creek to wash them and then took them back to the empty dam.

Modern society advocates health preservation, and Lin Yu often climbs mountains with friends to pick wild vegetables, so with her previous memories, the variety of wild vegetables collected has developed from a few to a dozen. Although it tasted saltless and tasteless, the two little guys could tell the taste from it in the end. Lin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, I don't know if this is a joy in suffering?

After a few days of picnic on the mountainside, the forest fish was almost bitten by a snake because of a carelessness, and after thinking about it, I was afraid, there were few snakes on the mountain, and I could only ask for more blessings if I was bitten, and I had to lose my life if I didn't say it.

After that time, she was afraid that the two children would run around on the mountain, so she told Sรน Ling'er to let her and her younger brother take care of the family, and never wanted her and Qi'er to follow her up the mountain again.

Forest fish are not afraid of snakes, and in their previous lives, they not only lived in the countryside for a long time, but also ate snake meat. That mistake made her a little scared and regretted in hindsight, if she hadn't been scared at the time, and just had tools, then she and the two little ones would have been able to dip some oily meat.

After that, she cut bamboo and groped for herself to make a bamboo clip, which she would bring with her every day when she went up the mountain. First, there is no one on the mountain, not only the overgrown snakes also like to walk in the grass, and it is good to beat the grass and scare the snake with a bamboo clip just in case; Second, if you're lucky, catch a snake or two and go back to fight the tooth sacrifice. Speaking of which, although there are many wild vegetables now, but a basket can only be eaten for a day, coupled with the lack of oil and salt, the mouth is very light after eating for a long time.

After the bamboo clip is done, the forest fish has never encountered the snake again when going up the mountain, this road is now walked every day, and it has been stepped out of the road mark, and it does not take too much effort to reach the mountainside, even if there is a snake, it has already run.

Passing by the dry land at the foot of the mountain in a hurry, the forest fish habitually picked up the bamboo clip he carried with him to open the way and walked towards the mountain.

Spring is full of joy, the wild vegetables in this season are growing upward, and before reaching the halfway point of the mountain, the bamboo basket is full of wild vegetables.

There was no snake to be seen, so she put the basket on the edge of the empty dam where she had cooked, picked up branches and hid them, and then took them to the higher mountain, ready to try her luck, but still thought of catching a snake and going back to fight the tooth sacrifice.

The mountain was overgrown with thorns and thorns, and it was difficult to walk, and the forest fish had to break off the branches of the bushes and put them aside as he went.

This mountain is the shortest one in this mountain range, there are no wild beasts in the mountain, the surrounding villagers hunt and go deep into the mountains, and few people come here, so there is no trace of others in the mountain except for the figure of the forest fish sister and brother, and they can only open their own way if they want to go up the mountain.

Unconsciously, he walked up for a long time, Lin Yu stopped and wiped his forehead with his sleeve, although he didn't wear much, but he was sweating profusely after working for a long time.

After coming out for a while, she saw that it was about noon, and she was afraid that the two children in the family would be worried, so she stopped. After a short rest, use bamboo clips to gather the broken branches, and after drying them in the sun, you can bring them back as firewood in a few days.

was doing the work, and suddenly there was a sound of "bang" behind him, Lin Yu was overjoyed, turned around suddenly, and sure enough, he saw a snake on the thick tree behind her spitting snake letters to her.

This is the first time she has caught a snake, and the bamboo clip in her hand is also made according to her imagination, and whether she can catch a snake is still unknown to her.

The so-called ignorant are fearless, the forest fish does not know the species of the snake and does not know whether the snake is poisonous, and I don't know whether the bamboo clip she is fooling with is lethal, now only the umami of the snake soup comes to her mind, this feeling of quenching her thirst has made her overcome timidity, she held the bamboo clip tightly with both hands and waved it heavily at the head of the snake on her back.

The snake on the branch was beaten and stuffy, fell from the tree, Lin Yu hurriedly clamped the snake's seven inches with a clamp, but the strength was too small, half of the snake's body broke free, and reacted to bite her hand, Lin Yu was startled and quickly let go of the bamboo clip in his hand, straightened up and retreated back, and after his feet touched the branch that she had just put together, he beckoned to the snake.

The snake pressed under the branch and kept writhing in the direction of the forest fish, she was anxious not to know what to do, her brain was hot and stepped on the branch, fortunately there were more branches, otherwise such a thin branch could not stop the snake body at all, as long as it raised its head, it might bite her foot, and now the snake was trampled under and could not move, she was silently relieved in her heart.

After crouching down and picking up the slightly thicker branches, she kept poking the snake's head through the gap under her feet with the broken end, and the snake began to stop

resisted, writhing the snake's head left and right to bite the branches, and the forest fish poked his heart until the snake's body stopped writhing.

Feeling that the snake should be dead, but she still didn't dare to be careless, she picked up a fist-sized stone around and smashed the snake's head to pieces, and then sat down on the ground with confidence, and her whole body relaxed, panting heavily
