Chapter 1

Caw, caw, caw.

The largest rooster in Datian Village began to crow again. It stood valiantly on the thatched roof of the village head's house with one leg crossed and its head raised high. It crowed magnificently.

After the rooster crowed, the shameless dog of the village crawled out of the haystack in front of the village head's house with its tail between its legs. It shook its skinny body a few times to get rid of the thatch stuck to its body. Following the rooster's crowing, it started to bark in agreement. After sniffing left and right, it started to run towards the east of the village, leaving a trail of footprints on the ground that had just been covered in snow.

Qian Mingying woke up from the cold. She had been here for more than half a year, but she was still not used to heating her kang. In the winter, because she was careless, the kang was too hot and even the quilt was set on fire. Now, she could only sleep with half a quilt and a cotton military jacket. However, since then, there was a historical problem. Qian Mingying did not dare to heat her kang vigorously, so she would wake up from the cold every morning.

Qian Mingying put on the military jacket. Because she was still small, it just reached her ankles. After buttoning it, she took a People's Liberation Army cap that was obviously much bigger than her head and put it on her head. Then, she put the cap down and fastened it tightly. Only then did she push open the wooden door. After a while, she pushed it open.

When she looked at the ground, the snow on the ground was almost knee-high.

The cold north wind blew directly into her face, and even carried some snow particles. Qian Mingying gritted her teeth and hurried back to the house. She took a piece of wood that she set by the door yesterday and began to clear the snow in the courtyard.

Qian Mingying's house was unique in the village. It was a three-room house made of red bricks. The roof was made of tiles that were rarely used. Although the courtyard was the same as the village's, the barriers were also made of wooden planks. It looked very neat.

However, although this house was good, there was only one neighbor around. Moreover, such a big house was only occupied by Qian Mingying, a nine-year-old girl.

Perhaps you would say that it was the problem of Qian Mingying's father. Qian Mingying's father, Qian Liang, joined the army a few years before liberation. He settled down in Datian Village because Qian Mingying's mother was from Datian Village. Qian Mingying's father was an orphan who had no hometown. It could be said that wherever he went, he would ask for help. When he was in his teens, he joined the army. Later, due to some reasons, he was discharged from the army and received a monthly allowance. When he was in Tao County, he fell in love with Qian Mingying's mother, Tian Taohua, at first sight. He asked a matchmaker to propose marriage and conveniently settled down in Datian Village.

When they got married, Qian Liang transferred his household registration. He spent money to approve the land, laid the foundation, and built three big brick houses. Unexpectedly, the couple's good days didn't last long. As soon as Qian Mingying was born, Tian Taohua fell ill after giving birth, leaving Qian Liang and his daughter to rely on each other. When Qian Mingying was nine years old, Xia Shou went to the county to pay the public grain. Unexpectedly, there was a traffic accident on such a big road. Qian Liang was hit by a big truck when he tried to push away a villager next to him. By the time the villager received Qian Mingying and arrived at the hospital, Qian Liang was dying.

Because of Tian Taohua's death, Qian Mingying's family was still brooding over Qian Liang's death. The two families almost didn't interact with each other. In addition, Qian Mingying's aunts weren't easy to deal with. Other than Qian Liang's house, they didn't want to adopt Qian Mingying. Therefore, during Qian Liang's funeral, a fight broke out. Qian Mingying's eldest aunt gently pulled on the Qian Mingying, causing it to fall on the coffin. Therefore, little Qian Mingying followed in his father's footsteps and left.

The interstellar transmigrator Qian Mingying made a dazzling appearance. After a lot of chaos, Qian Mingying was determined to support itself.

Bang, bang, bang.

Someone knocked on the door of Qian Mingying's house. At this time, Qian Mingying had already swept half of the yard. Hearing the banging on the door, Qian Mingying pursed its lips. It was so early in the morning, and the sky was still dark. Who would dare to come to its house?

Qian Mingying thought as it looked at the Invisible Sapiens on its wrist. It looked at the image of the outside of the door. Qian Mingying couldn't help but twitch the corner of its mouth.

After Qian Mingying looked at the image, its hands kept pushing the wooden lift. It pushed a path straight to the front door of the house. After cleaning up the area near the front door, Qian Mingying opened the door. What entered its sight was the shameless dog happily wagging its tail.

"You're early!"

Qian Mingying shouted. She didn't refuse the shameless dog's entry. She opened the door, let the dog in, and then closed the door.

Woof, woof, woof.

The shameless dog barked at Qian Mingying a few times, causing Qian Mingying to glance at it. Qian Mingying couldn't help but twitch its mouth. Was this dog a creditor or something?

"You know where to find food!

Tell me, where did you eat for the past two days?

Why do you still have this shameless look on your face? "

Qian Mingying sped up. It took another ten minutes to clean up the entire yard, revealing the black, frozen solid ground.

At this time, the liberation hat was covered with a thick layer of frost. Qian Mingying panted a few times, stretched its waist, and ordered the lazy dog, "Shameless, wait here. I'm going to make breakfast!"

After saying that, Qian Mingying walked to the kitchen. Although it was called the kitchen, it was actually connected to the kang of the main house. There was a fire wall in the middle, which could provide warmth to the main house. Looking at the stove, it was obvious why the Tian family wanted to take over Qian Mingying's house. That big iron pot was rare in the village. Two years ago, Dalian Steel took away all the iron products from every household. Now, the village's supplies were measured. If there was a shortage, they had to get it from the commune in the county.

Qian Mingying quickly scrubbed the pot and pressed a virtual button on her wrist. A large earthen pot appeared on the ground. Qian Mingying scooped up the soup from the earthen pot with a large ladle and poured it into the pot. Then, she heard swallowing sounds from outside the kitchen. Qian Mingying's hand trembled as she scooped out two large bone sticks from the earthen pot. Then, she scooped out another two large bone sticks and threw them into the pot. Qian Mingying's hand trembled as she scooped out two large bone sticks from the earthen pot. Then, she scooped out another two large bone sticks and threw them into the pot.

"Stop whining. I'll give it to you later!"

After saying that, Qian Mingying scooped out two bowls of Korean noodles from the cupboard. The Korean noodles were very coarse. At first glance, it could be seen that they were roughly processed. But at this time, it was already considered a very good fine grain in the village.

After pouring the Korean noodles and water, Qian Mingying chopped two radishes into the soup. Then, she pasted pancakes on the Korean noodles and put them on the side of the pot. She covered the pot with the lid and waited for the rice to be cooked. After looking at the Sapiens's display for 15 minutes, Qian Mingying opened the lid of the pot. Steam rose from the pot. When the steam died down, Qian Mingying took a big black bowl and picked up the pot stickers one by one.

After that, Qian Mingying took a big broken bowl at the corner of the kitchen door and scooped two meat ribs from the pot into the bowl. Then, she soaked a pot sticker in the bowl and brought it to Lai Pi, who was at the kitchen door. After watching Lai Pi eat, Qian Mingying scooped out the vegetables and soup from the big pot. She returned to the main room and put it on the kang table before eating and drinking by herself.

A big bowl of pot stickers and half a big iron pot of stewed radish and pork bone soup were all stuffed into Qian Mingying's stomach. Only then did she feel full. Ever since she entered Qian Mingying's body, Qian Mingying had been exercising every day according to the instructions given by the Sapiens. Her physical strength had increased, but the food she ate was also frightening. It was enough to feed three to four people.

Qian Mingying cleaned up the table and tossed the two clean pork ribs to Lai Pi. Lai Pi was not picky at all and picked them up with its mouth.

Qian Mingying washed the bowls and pots. After placing them one by one, Qian Mingying found a basket and placed a kitchen knife, an axe for chopping firewood, and a hemp rope inside.

"Lai Pi, are we going up the mountain?"

Qian Mingying packed her clothes, put them on, locked the door, and barked at Lai Pi. Lai Pi wagged its tail and circled around Qian Mingying.

Qian Mingying exhaled and walked forward on her own. She locked the door, and one person and one dog, one in front of the other, walked in the knee-deep snow. A thousand meters in front of them was a large birch forest.

Woof! Woof! Woof! Lai Pi stopped and barked behind.

Qian Mingying heard the voice and looked behind her. She saw a young daughter-in-law wearing a tattered floral cotton-padded jacket walking over. Yes, it was her neighbor's sister-in-law. Like her, she also lived her own life. Her sister-in-law was young, about twelve or thirteen years old. She married into the Tian family, but she was considered a child bride. She was sold to the Tian family by her own family. However, ever since she married into the Tian family, one of her family members died every year. Last year, she was the only one left in the family. Qian Mingying was pitiful. Qian Mingying looked at the shameless dog. Even a shameless dog came to her house. This sister-in-law was someone that even a dog did not dare to come to her house.

"Be honest, Lai Pi!"

Looking at Lai Pi baring his teeth at Tian Xiaoku, Qian Mingying felt bad for Lai Pi. She was just a weak little wife. How could a wild dog like him bully her?

"Little sister-in-law!" Qian Mingying showed its teeth and called Tian Xiaoku with a smile.

Tian Xiaoku, who lowered his head all day, was shocked. He raised his head and looked at Qian Mingying. Tian Xiaoku quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes." Then he hurriedly walked forward with his hands in his pockets.

Looking at Tian Xiaoku's panicked look, Qian Mingying could not help but smile bitterly. She touched her face. How could she scare people with her baby face?

"Hey, little sister-in-law, don't go that way. My nest is there!"

Qian Mingying looked at Tian Xiaoku, who kept walking straight, and could not help reminding her. Because of the heavy snow, ordinary villagers would not enter the mountain. Even if they entered the mountain, they would be led by experienced hunters. Therefore, Qian Mingying set traps in the forest. In this way, they could catch pheasants and wild hares to eat.

Hearing this, Tian Xiaoku paused and said, "Oh." Then he turned and walked away. Qian Mingying did not even look at him. It seemed that he did not want to talk to Qian Mingying at all. This made Qian Mingying touch her nose unconsciously. Was she so unlikable?

Seeing Tian Xiaoku walking away, Qian Mingying started to walk. But after a while, Qian Mingying realized that she might have forgotten something.

Whoosh, bang.

A pheasant was shot down by Qian Mingying's slingshot. Qian Mingying shouted to Lai Pi beside him. Lai Pi had been trained several times, so he skillfully ran over with the pheasant in his mouth. Qian Mingying took the pheasant out of Lai Pi's mouth and shook it a few times. After making sure that a stone had broken the pheasant's head, Qian Mingying put the pheasant into her basket.

Qian Mingying touched Lai Pi's head and weighed the basket. There were two pheasants, two wild hares, and a small wyvern. Not bad. Today's luck was really good. Qian Mingying thought to himself. After all, they did not enter the inner circle of the forest. It was really good to have such a harvest just by walking around the edges.

"Lai Pi, I feel like I've forgotten something.

Think about it for me! "

Qian Mingying sat on a cleared area with firewood on it. Qian Mingying took out some dry food from her space buckle and shared it with Lai Pi. She felt empty in her heart and did not know what was going to happen.
