Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Full of Harvest

Because time was limited, she had only managed to collect species in the south and hadn’t had time to plant them yet. After all, the concave land only had some soil in the crevices between stones. It required her to manually add silt for planting. She had been thinking about how to obtain silt from the pond. The main issue is that collecting silt would look too strange. However, she had a plan: if she really couldn’t get any silt, she would just throw some ordinary soil into the water and let it settle. Over time, it would turn into silt.

She walked further inside and heard wolf howls coming from ahead. How could there be wolf howls in Boar Ridge? she wondered. She had been thinking about getting a wolf pelt for a blanket, so this inexplicably excited her. Equipped with her space and skills, her courage was extraordinary. She quickly headed towards the direction of the sounds.

As she got closer, she also heard the grunts of wild boars. Could it be a battle between wolves and boars? However, before she could witness the scene, she heard the sounds of their clash.

With a leap, she climbed the tallest nearby tree and saw that not far away, seven wolves and three wild boars were already locked in battle. A few agile leaps brought her to the tree closest to them. Only then did she notice a small wolf, not far off, dead with its belly pierced by a boar’s tusk. It seems this isn’t a simple chance encounter, but a feud to the death.

She had heard from the commune members in the village that two wolves couldn’t defeat a single wild boar. So, with seven wolves against three wild boars, what will the outcome be?Perhaps I can play the fisherman and reap the rewards.

Seeing that the fight wouldn’t end anytime soon, she went directly into her space. After all, it was lunchtime. She had previously obtained many lotus roots in the south and stored them in her space. Her first thought was to eat deep-fried stuffed lotus roots, so she had bought meat and minced it for the filling. There was still a small bowl of leftover minced meat in her space, so she mixed a small piece of dough and made some dumplings for herself. After having her fill of food and drink in her space, she then exited it.

Remarkably, fueled by the desire to avenge their cub in this life-or-death battle, the seven wolves’ strength was not to be underestimated; they had actually managed to take down the three wild boars. However, the seven wolves hadn’t fared much better. Yunyi thought to herself, My wolf pelt blanket is probably a lost cause now. After all, all seven wolves were covered in wounds.

The pelts are useless, but it’s still meat. It should fetch some money at the black market. Operating on the principle of not letting freebies go to waste, and since they were all lying there incapacitated, she leaped down. She collected the three wild boars and all eight wolves—seven large and one small—into her space.

Few people ventured into the deep mountains, allowing Yunyi to find many mature medicinal herbs. She didn’t hold back, picking and storing a good amount in her space. Seeing the sun tilting westward, she began her return journey.

On her way back, she didn’t pass up any pheasants or wild rabbits. By the time she reached the foot of the mountain, her space was stocked with over a dozen pheasants and wild rabbits. She took out her back basket, full of mountain goods, and carried a pheasant in her hand as she started walking home.

Just as she was nearing home, she spotted a furtive figure heading south again. When she recognized the person, her brow furrowed. This wasn’t the first time she had seen this person heading south so late in the day.

It seems this person, who usually doesn’t meddle in others’ affairs, also has secrets for coming to the countryside. However, Yunyi had no interest in prying into others’ secrets. She averted her gaze and headed straight home.

Now that she had acquired wild boars, she planned to boil water tonight to scald one and remove its hair. The next morning, when she went up the mountain to practice her skills, she could also butcher one of the wild boars. She wanted to make cured meat, so she had already started stockpiling salt.
