Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 19 Killing the Wild Boar

After riding on a mule, Su Yue went to a general store and ordered several different styles of ceramic jars, cups, bowls, and spoons. She paid a deposit and came back to pick them up in three days.

Then he went to the carpenter's shop and spent five taels of silver to buy a cart.

Finally, we took Su Erbao to eat a bowl of noodles before riding back to the village in a mule cart.

The journey was filled with close calls but ultimately without any real danger.

Su Erbao claims to be a good driver, but in reality, he's only a half-baked one.

Before we knew it, it was already dark when we arrived at the village.

Seeing Su Yue's expression as if she wanted to devour him, Su Erbao pulled the mule to the backyard, feeling guilty and not daring to look back at Su Yue.

It was fine when I was learning, but when I tried to do it myself, I either couldn't control the mule or my hands wouldn't obey me. Several times I almost drove it into the ditch.

He felt a chill down his back several times on the way.

When the Su family saw Su Erbao leading the mule back, their mouths were agape, wide enough to fit a fist.

Aunt Su looked on, feeling both happy and worried.

They were happy that they now had a mule that could work, but they were also worried that the mule hadn't been fed since they brought it back and would starve to death.

Aunt Su didn't even consider that the mule wasn't hers, nor did she worry about where it came from. Once it was in her house, it was hers, especially since it was brought back by the evil spirit possessing Su Yue.

Then she ran to the door, peeked out, looked around, and found that no one was watching their house. She then closed the door from the inside and said to Su Yue with a smile, "Yue'er, you must be tired after a long day! Go inside and rest. Your second aunt will bring you some food. Husband, you should go to the backyard and see if Erbao can tie up the mule."

Su Dabao and Su Xiaobao ignored the mule; all they wanted to do now was please Su Yue.

His mother had been giving him instructions all day, saying that the current Su Yue was not the Su Yue of the past, but might be an evil spirit that had escaped from the underworld. They couldn't deal with her, so they could only try to please her. Moreover, apart from hurting people a bit when she hits them, this evil spirit would bring back meat to eat.

As long as I can eat meat every day and not get beaten up, I don't care what it is.

As soon as Su Yue sat down, Su Xiaobao started massaging her back. Su Dabao brought Su Yue some water.

The whole family took excellent care of Su Yue, and they were extremely satisfied.

For dinner, Su Yue ate white rice and wild vegetable porridge, while the rest of the Su family ate black flour and wild vegetable porridge.

Su Yue almost spat it out after taking a sip; the wild vegetables were so old they tasted bitter.

There's so much meat in this space, why not enjoy a good life instead of suffering here? That's absolutely unacceptable.

I took another sip of the wild vegetable porridge, but it was still very hard to drink, even worse than the black flour cornbread I ate when I first arrived.

Su Yue slammed the bowl down on the table, got up, and walked out.

Aunt Su, who was closest to Su Yue, thought Su Yue was unhappy with tonight's meal and was going to beat them again. She grabbed Su Yue's legs and began to cry, "Yue'er, we really didn't steal the grain you bought from town. We only found these wild vegetables in the mountains. Our chickens haven't had anything to eat lately and haven't laid any eggs. Please don't be angry."

Su Yue was speechless; what was all this about?

"Second Aunt, I just went out for a walk!" Su Yue said, amused and exasperated.

Aunt Su slowly let go of them when she heard that Su Yue was just going out for a walk and didn't mean to hit them.

"I'm going outside for a walk. You guys eat." Su Yue then stood up, glanced at Su Erbao's empty bowl, poured the rest of her food into Su Erbao's bowl, and walked out of the yard.

Only when they could no longer see Su Yue did everyone breathe a sigh of relief; they hadn't been beaten up today.

Su Erbao quickly drank the white rice and wild vegetable porridge in his bowl, afraid that someone would react and take it from him.

He would never tell them that he was eating noodles today, and that he should seize this good opportunity so his father wouldn't take it away from him.

"Dad, Mom, I've finished eating. I'm going to the backyard to check on the mule." He put down his bowl and ran out before Aunt Su could even ask him a question.

Aunt Su scolded as she drank the porridge in her bowl: "You brat, you didn't even leave any for your mother! You're like a reincarnated starving ghost, licking the bowl clean so you don't even need to wash it again..."

The three who weren't scolded quickly drank the porridge in their bowls, and after finishing, they all ran to the backyard to check on the mule.

Upon arriving at the Su family, Su Yue searched for a place and then entered the space.

I cooked myself another pot of rice and stewed a pot of pork. After a hearty meal, I started to tend to the vegetables and grains I had planted in the garden.

They pulled up all the wild vegetables that were growing well and then replanted a new crop.

I picked the tender green bok choy and several other unfamiliar vegetables, leaving a few to grow and be used for seed.

Looking at these rice seedlings, wheat seedlings, soybean seedlings, and black bean seedlings that are more than ten centimeters tall, I used my mental energy to water them again.

I don't know what dynasty this is, but they still have corn. The shopkeeper said it's not growing well, with only a few kernels on each ear.

It grows tall but produces few fruits, so few people plant it. Only wealthy families would grow some to feed their livestock.

When Su Yue bought the seeds, she also planted a few in her space, and they looked to be growing even better than they did in the modern world.

The land in this space is truly a treasure. Look at the sorghum seeds that were planted just a few days ago; they've already grown almost as tall as my calf.

When the sorghum is almost ripe, you can cut down the stalks and extract the juice to make sugar.

In modern times, the stalks of sorghum are called sweet stalks. Su Yue often ate them when she was a child, as they were a substitute for sugarcane.

Actually, corn stalks taste sweet, similar to sugarcane, but not as sweet as sorghum stalks.

Su Yue hadn't planted many corn stalks in the space, and now she couldn't bear to pull them up and eat them like sugarcane.

The fruit tree seedlings dug up from the mountain are growing very well, even better than they did in the mountains.

Even the wild apple tree that was dug up has seen its few scattered apples grow quite a bit bigger.

Looking at all these things in the space, Su Yue was overjoyed, knowing she would be a little rich woman in the future.

With plenty of food, money, and servants to take care of her, this young heiress's life is becoming increasingly promising.

The only drawback is that Aunt Su's cooking skills are terrible.

Su Yue put all the harvested vegetables into the bamboo house warehouse. She calculated the time it took to bring them in, and it was about time.

After using his mental power to knock out a wild boar weighing over 100 pounds from the mountain, he left the space first.

When they were almost at the Su family's gate, they took the wild boar out of their spatial storage and carried it into the yard.

The five members of the Su family, who were originally watching the mules in the backyard, all ran out to see what was happening when they heard the sound at the gate.

The group of people were so shocked that their mouths gaped open, and they almost shouted out loud.

It was only thanks to Aunt Su's quick reflexes that she slapped each of them, preventing them from making a sound.

Seeing that everyone had come out, Su Yue told her second uncle to kill the pig while it was still unconscious.

Since there was no water to scald the pig hair, Su Yue asked her second aunt and Su Xiaobao to go to the backyard, light a fire, and clean the pig hair off completely.

Su Dabao no longer considered himself a scholar; he ran even faster than Su Erbao, helping his father slaughter pigs.

In the darkness of the night, everyone in the Su family, except for Su Yue, worked tirelessly all night.
