There is no shortage of food on the way to escape famine, and Miss Luck is busy farming

The Qiao family's food bags have never been empty.

From time to time, Qiao Ran would "find" a bag of grain discarded by others in the woods, or catch a pheasant, hare, duck or something.

Along the way to the Qiao family, they could eat meat every once in a while, which made other villagers envious.

However, everyone can only be envious. No one has the luck like Qiao Ran, who can just walk into the forest and come back with all kinds of food.

Some people saw her entering the forest and smartly followed her to catch her.

However, Qiao Ran seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, and she could soon notice that they were following behind.

She turned left and right in the forest, quickly losing sight of the people following her.

The smell of Qiao's rice and meat often makes the children in the village cry with envy.

Qiao Dewang's little grandson Goudaner even sheds tears every day and stares greedily at the Qiao family's meals.

However, several times when he went to his grandmother's house to beg for food, he would fall to the ground inexplicably or lose his teeth by stones flying from nowhere.

Nowadays, several of his front teeth are almost gone, and his speech is leaky.

After a few times, he no longer dared to ask for anything.

Qiao Dewang and his wife were also severely warned by the village chief, and they never dared to make trouble with Mrs. Qiao again.

There are more than 500 people in the Qingshui Village team. Although it is separated from the other three villages, it is still a relatively large team.

On the road, they occasionally encountered one or two fleeing teams, as well as some refugees in twos and threes.

Seeing that they were outnumbered, no one dared to attack them.

Everyone thought that there would be no danger along the way. However, the refugees did not dare to attack them, but they could not escape the covetousness of others.

That evening, they stopped to rest in the woods on the roadside.

Qiao Ran looked around and saw that there were mountains all around. There was a relatively steep mountain not far from the mountain road.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there may be a lot of wild animals.

Qiao Ran wanted to hunt some prey for her family again.

Although there are so many chickens and ducks in the space courtyard, one is taken out every few days these days. Qiao Ran is worried that the hatched chicks and ducks will not grow up yet, and all the adult chickens and ducks in the space will be eaten.

The meat in the refrigerator can only be excused as bought when there is a town market.

Otherwise, she would have no excuse to conjure up a bunch of clean meat out of thin air in this wilderness!
So, try to hunt some wild animals!

Before it got dark, she told her mother, who was preparing to set up a stove to cook, and walked into the woods.

"Ran Ran, the trees here are too high, and there are a lot of weeds and shrubs in the forest. There may be poisonous snakes and beasts. Don't go into the mountain. Just go around here. If you don't get anything, come back!"

Chen Huiniang reminded worriedly.

"Okay, mom, don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

Qiao Ran agreed and walked into the woods.

"Sister, let me go with you!"

Qiao Dong ran over and wanted to go hunting in the woods with his sister.

After Qiao Dong's leg was completely healed, he liked to follow his sister.

He hopes that he can learn hunting from his sister, so that he can help her catch prey in the future, so that her sister doesn't have to work so hard.

Qiao Ran didn't have to carry other people to get things out of the space today. She just wanted to go hunting some small animals in the woods, so she agreed to her brother's request.She knew that Qiao Dong wanted to learn hunting, so she was naturally happy to teach him.

Qiao Ran brought a bow and arrow, Qiao Dong casually drew a machete, and the two siblings went into the woods beside the road.

Qiao Ran's bow and arrows were taken out from the small space courtyard. Qiao Ran liked hunting, so her grandfather made this bow and arrows for her.

In the small courtyard, there is also a bow and arrow that grandpa used for hunting when he was young, which is larger than Qiao Ran's.

She planned to teach her brothers archery after settling down, which was a skill after all. Occasionally, she would go up the mountain to catch foxes, hares, and the like, and she could also hunt teeth for family members, or sell them in the city to make some money.

After Qiao Ran took out the bow and arrow from the small courtyard, she told her family that she had picked it up on the roadside. She didn't know which hunter accidentally dropped it. She was very strong, so she asked the old god to teach her archery.

No one in the family doubted it. They all praised Qiao Ran for being lucky and able to pick up anything.

This area is less affected by the drought, and the forest is really dense.

Qiao Ran relied on experience and took Qiao Dong to a dense forest in a valley.

The grass here is deep and the forests are dense. There are many small animals hiding in the grass, and some large beasts will run to the streams in the valley to drink water.

They stepped lightly and walked quietly towards the direction where there was the sound of running water.

"Sister, look quickly!"

Qiao Dong suddenly pulled Qiao Ran's clothes and made a soft sound.

Qiao Ran looked in the direction of Qiao Dong's finger. A dozen meters ahead, there was a colorful pheasant lying in a pile of grass, seemingly laying eggs.

Qiao Dong was very excited, and he was about to walk over there on tiptoe.

Qiao Ran's ears suddenly twitched, she quickly grabbed Qiao Dong and shook her head at him.

Qiao Dong knew that his sister was not letting him go any further. Although he didn't know why, he still stopped obediently.

The two squatted down on the spot, staring at the pheasant.

Qiao Ran quietly put an arrow on her bow and aimed it at the pheasant, but she still didn't let go of the bowstring.

When Qiao Dong was wondering why his sister didn't take action, he heard a rustling sound coming from the grass.

That sound made Qiao Dong's scalp tingle.

Even though he had never hunted before, he could still tell that it was the sound of a snake crawling in the grass, and judging from the sound, it was not a small snake.

The sound also alarmed the pheasant lying in the nest. It looked around in fright and was about to get up and fly away.

At this moment, a python suddenly jumped out of the grass, opened its mouth, and bit the pheasant that was about to escape.

When Qiao Dong saw such a big python, he was so frightened that he stood frozen on the spot.

He watched helplessly as the pheasant kept struggling in the python's mouth, but it was bitten tightly by the sharp teeth and could not struggle away no matter what.

The python, which was as thick as Qiao Dong's thigh, closed its mouth and swallowed the pheasant alive.

I saw that the big snake's body was squirming, and the pheasant was moving back bit by bit inside the big snake's body. You could clearly see that the bulge was moving bit by bit towards the snake's abdomen. Removed everywhere.

Qiao Dong was horrified to see it. He imagined himself being swallowed by a big snake and shuddered suddenly.

Although he knew that this python was not strong enough to swallow him alive, it would be difficult to escape if he got entangled with it.

He turned his head towards Qiao Ran, wanting to see if his sister was as scared as he was.
