It's still dark, and the whole world is still immersed in the hazy night. There was only a faint light in the eastern sky, and everything around him seemed a little blurry.
In the morning of early autumn, there was a hint of coolness in the air, and a breeze blew by, causing Chen Wanbai, who had just woken up and was still a little sleepy, to suddenly wake up.
She stretched out comfortably, and then took a deep breath. The air was mixed with the rustic smell of earth and the elegant fragrance of vegetation, making it so fresh and pleasant. , refreshing and refreshing.
At this time, there was silence all around, completely without the noise and bustle during the day. Recently, the calls of frogs have become less and less, with only a few occasional calls mixed in with the chirping of insects.
After Chen Wanbai fully experienced the beauty of nature, he played a set of Ba Duan Jin on the spot, moving every move smoothly.
After playing Baduanjin, she felt more refreshed, and then went to wash up with brisk steps.
After washing up, Ms. Liu still had not gotten up. So Chen Wanbai picked up his backpack, held a bow and arrow, and carried a hatchet on his waist, and walked towards the mountain.
It was still early at this time. It had been two days since she had gone to the mountains to check the traps, and she didn't know if there was anything in them.
Considering that he had to go to town early, Chen Wanbai did not go too far into the mountains and just checked a few traps nearby. But something unexpected happened, and we caught two hares and a pheasant that were all jumping around.
After tying the prey and putting it into her backpack, she quickly walked down the mountain. Back home, Mrs. Liu was already up and eating the morning meal. Seeing Chen Wanbai come back, he immediately invited her to eat with him.
Just after finishing the morning meal, Wan Chaogui drove the bullock cart slowly to the door of his house.
The mother and daughter immediately put things away quickly. After a while, they put their things on the bullock cart, and the three of them headed towards Qingshi Town together with the rising sun on their backs.
Along the way, the breeze blew on our faces, bringing with it the unique freshness of the mountains. In the past, when there were only Wan Chaogui and Chen Wanbai, they would chat non-stop along the way.
Today, because of Liu's presence, we only exchanged a few words occasionally, and it seemed particularly quiet along the way.
Finally, Qingshi Town gradually appeared in their sight.
After entering the town, Wan Chaogui first sent Mrs. Liu to Mrs. Sun's shop.
This is an arrangement that Mrs. Liu and Chen Wanbai have discussed a long time ago. Mrs. Liu can stay in Mrs. Sun’s shop not only to kill time and avoid running around with Chen Wanbai, but also to chat with other women. Kind words. Chen Wanbai and Wan Chaogui went to sell prey together.
Probably due to the recent prey comparisonIn the past, it was easier to catch, so the price of prey dropped accordingly. Originally, a pheasant could be sold for one penny, but today it only fetched ninety pence.
However, it is always better to gain something than to gain nothing. Regarding this, Chen Wanbai was not too disappointed.
A total of 370 coins were sold today, which is generally considered quite good.
"Uncle Wan, aren't you going to the grocery store? I'm going to visit Uncle Zheng. Then we'll separate first and meet at the city gate in half an hour."
"I'll be fine soon. I'll pick you up from Lao Zhengtou later." Wan Chaogui thought to himself that he just wanted to buy a pot for decoction, and it shouldn't take too much time.
"No need to bother, I'm just thanking Uncle Wan for bringing me an acre of rapeseed seeds from the grocery store later." Chen Wanbai declined politely.
From the grocery store to the blacksmith shop, you still need to go around a circle, which is quite troublesome. However, it would be faster to take a small road to pick up Liu from Madam Sun.

Wan Chaogui nodded and said a few more words before bidding farewell to Chen Wanbai.
As soon as Chen Wanbai turned around and left, someone quietly came out of the alley behind him and followed her in a sneaky and sneaky way.
This person is Chen Yuanxiu.
Chen Yuanxiu has been staying in Qingshi Town in recent days, just because he owed a large amount of gambling debts in Yaojiang Town, so that he has no way to continue to stay in Yaojiang Town. . As soon as he showed up in town, he would be caught, beaten and asked to pay back the money.
After hiding at home for a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore.
After all, how can an addicted gambler resist gambling?
When Yaojiang Town failed, he came to Qingshi Town.
The last time he went to Qingshi Town to gamble with Liu Popi from the next village, he seemed to have seen Chen Wanbai.
But he didn't see it clearly at the time, but this time the situation was different.
When Chen Wanbai and Liu just entered the city gate on the bullock cart, he saw it clearly.
At that time, he and Liu Popi were sleeping in a haystack at the gate of the city. He was awakened by a strong urge to urinate. Just as he was about to pee, he saw the two of them.
So after he finished urinating in a hurry, he didn't even bother to say hello to Liu Popi, so he ran and chased her out.
Fortunately, the ox cart was moving quite slowly. Along the way, he saw Mrs. Liu entering Sunjia Cloth Village, and saw Chen Wanbai and Wan Orion going to Fengji Food Shop.
Originally, he wanted to go up to say hello and ask for some money. But when I think about the relationship between the two families,Coupled with the fact that the relationship was already severed, this idea was stopped.
It wasn't until he saw a waiter at Feng Ji's Restaurant giving Chen Wanbai a sling of copper coins that he had another idea in his mind. But seeing those ten thousand hunters staying with her all the time, she felt very anxious.
Just when he was about to give up the idea and prepare to play the emotional card, Wan Orion left unexpectedly.
Sure enough, God is helping him.
Chen Wanbai was unaware of this. At this moment, she was thinking about how to make money. After all, the money earned from selling prey is still a little short, and there are still many things that need to be purchased at home.
Especially as winter is approaching, it is necessary to stock up on food for the winter. When she was chatting with Wan Chaogui before, she learned that in winter, everyone usually stays at home and rarely goes out.
After a whole winter, several old people and children would die in the village. Most of them died of cold due to being too cold and eventually died of illness.
Chen Yuanxiu followed quietly and watched Chen Wanbai walk into the blacksmith shop, and then saw her chatting animatedly with an old man inside.
He secretly speculated in his heart: Looking at this situation, she probably won't come out for a while.
Thinking like this, he no longer hesitated, immediately turned around and ran away quickly, and his figure quickly disappeared into the streets.
