After Jiang Wan made sure the vines had tangled Jiang Yu securely, she quickly cut off her superpower.
Her superpower was precious now, and she had to use it sparingly!
Thinking of Jiang Yu's terrified state, wetting his pants, Jiang Wan couldn't help but giggle.
Chen Yuezhi held her with one arm and asked, "Wan Wan, what are you laughing about?"
Jiang Wan stretched out her chubby little arms to hug Chen Yuezhi's neck and nuzzled her. "I'm happy thinking about eating chicken, so I laughed out loud."
Chen Yuezhi said dotingly, "Is Wan Wan hungry? Then let's walk faster."
The three of them reached the depths of the forest, and Chen Yuezhi put Jiang Wan down. "San Lang, you take Wan Wan to pick some firewood. We'll need it for roasting the chicken later."
As she spoke, Chen Yuezhi felt around her body, took out a knife, and then, as if by magic, produced a bowl.
This bowl was for collecting the chicken's blood.
Chicken blood was also good stuff and shouldn't be wasted.
Jiang Wan had wanted to use the little bit of superpower she had left to make the wild chicken fatter, but Chen Yuezhi's movements were too quick. She pulled the feathers from the chicken's neck, swung her knife, and the wild chicken, with a few unresigned kicks, breathed its last.
...
Her mother's movements were too swift.
Jiang Wan frowned, her chubby little face filled with regret.
San Lang, thinking she was scared, quickly covered her eyes and pulled her into the forest.
"Wan Wan, don't be afraid. It's just killing a chicken, nothing to worry about."
They reached a large tree, and San Lang let go. "Wan Wan, you just sit here. Third Brother will go pick firewood, and he'll be back soon."
Jiang Wan wanted to help, but San Lang wouldn't let her. "You just sit here and be good. Third Brother will do this rough work."
Watching San Lang busy himself in the forest, Jiang Wan felt deeply touched.
San Lang was not even as old as she was in her previous life. In her previous life, she had to do everything herself and dared not slack off for a moment. She never expected that after a transmigration, she would become a pampered little baby, doted on by her entire family.
This might be heaven's compensation for her. In her past life, she had tasted all the bitterness, and in this life, she had gained the most precious emotions in the world.
She really loved her current family so much, so she was determined to make them all live good lives!
The first step was to ensure everyone had enough to eat!
Although she didn't get a chance to use her superpower on that wild chicken, she could use it elsewhere.
She looked up at San Lang, who had walked a bit further away, and got up to search carefully in the forest for anything useful.
Soon, she found a vine under a tree.
This vine was extremely thin, less than a third of her finger's thickness, but her intuition told her that its roots could be eaten when they grew.
So, without a second thought, she immediately grabbed the vine and injected her superpower into it.
A continuous stream of superpower flowed into the vine, and then images were fed back into Jiang Wan's mind.
She "saw" the vine's roots, originally as thin as her little finger, rapidly swell and lengthen.
One meter... one point five meters...
As the root was about to reach two meters, her superpower was depleted, and the image in her mind was cut off.
Jiang Wan felt a little regretful. Her superpower was only at the level it was when she first awakened, and it was so strenuous to even control a single plant like this.
If it were her previous life, she would only need to flick her fingers, and the fruit of this vine would be enough to feed dozens of people.
Looking at her small frame, Jiang Wan sighed, "Things are different now."
However, on second thought, if the price of transmigration was a weakened superpower, she would still choose to transmigrate without hesitation.
But for nothing else, it was for these family members who loved her so dearly.
Even if it was weakened, she could slowly level up!
Jiang Wan was full of energy. She found a stick nearby, swung her chubby little arms, and knelt on the ground to start digging.
When San Lang returned with the firewood, he saw that Jiang Wan was no longer under the tree. His face turned pale with fright. He dropped the firewood and shouted into the forest, "Wan Wan, where are you? Come out quickly, don't scare Third Brother!"
"Third Brother, I'm here. Stop shouting and come quickly."
San Lang turned around and saw Jiang Wan peeking out from behind a tree with a chubby, smudged face like a calico cat. He quickly ran over, intending to pull Jiang Wan up.
"Wan Wan, get up quickly. Why are you hiding here playing with mud? Look how dirty your face is, it's almost as dirty as the calico cat the neighbor used to have."
Jiang Wan batted his hand away. "Third Brother, look, I found this."
San Lang looked closely and exclaimed, "It's a yam!"
Then he quickly covered his mouth, looked around cautiously to make sure no one was nearby, and said to Jiang Wan, "Wan Wan, wait here. I'll go call Mother."
Jiang Wan nodded. "Third Brother, hurry up."
San Lang ran off like the wind and pulled Chen Yuezhi over.
When Chen Yuezhi arrived, she was still carrying the wild chicken, which was almost completely plucked.
Upon seeing the row of yams buried deep in the ground, Chen Yuezhi was also a bit flustered.
This was the forest behind the village, and it had been visited by countless people. It was truly shocking that these yams could still be alive.
Such a large yam could yield at least ten to twenty catties of produce.
"San Lang, hurry home and call your brother He and your sister-in-law. Remember not to alert the rest of the family, and have them bring hoes."
Yam tubers grew underground, and without tools, they couldn't be dug up.
San Lang acknowledged the request and ran towards the village.
As he passed the outer edge of the forest, he heard crying coming from a dirt pit by the roadside. He didn't stop at all, but ran out of the forest with his legs pumping.
Poor Jiang Yu, tangled and wrapped by the vines, had fallen into the dirt pit. He was dizzy and couldn't climb out, nor could he break free from the vines.
For the first time in his life, he encountered such a bizarre situation. Jiang Yu was so scared that he lay at the bottom of the pit and cried.
Finally, he heard someone passing by outside. Before he could even call for help, the person ran off like the wind again.
San Lang sneaked into the Jiang family's house and whispered about what had happened in the forest. Jiang Pan immediately told Da Lang and Er Lang to go carry the hoes.
To avoid attracting the attention of other family members, Da Lang and his two brothers climbed over the wall first. Su Shi deliberately said she was going out to see if she could borrow some grain and swaggered out of the house.
As for Jiang Pan, he stayed at home to guard against anyone coming in to rummage around while the rest of the family was away. Everyone knew who this "someone" was, and Jiang Pan's expression was filled with mockery.
Da Lang and his two brothers met Su Shi at the village entrance, and together they walked towards the forest.
At the edge of the forest, they heard crying. Su Shi said, "Doesn't this sound like Jiang Yu's voice?"
Jiang Yu heard that someone else was coming, and it was Su Shi, so he quickly called out for help.
San Lang immediately said, "Sister-in-law, are you hallucinating from hunger? Jiang Yu never leaves his room, how could he be here? You must have misheard. Big Brother, Second Brother, did you hear anything?"
Da Lang and Er Lang immediately understood. "No, what sound? Let's go, let's hurry and pick some firewood, and see if we can find some food. If we're still this hungry, I could even chew on dry branches."
Su Shi also understood and said, "It seems I really misheard. I'm too hungry, my ears aren't working properly. Let's go quickly, it'll be dark soon."
The four of them left like that, leaving Jiang Yu lying in the dirt pit, wailing.
