Chapter 37: 37
It was 2 pm in the afternoon and Mo Beihan was hungry after spending the whole morning outside .
Mo Beihan had a big appetite . He finished almost all the food in a short period of time as the delicious food was cooked by Gu Qingyao .
“You should come back early if you are so hungry,” Gu Qingyao said .
Mo Beihan took a sip of the fish soup and smiled, “The food you cook is too delicious . I just can’t stop eating . ”
After the meal, Mo Beihan went to peel the skin of the rabbit and the roe deer . Gu Qingyao boiled some water to handle the wild boar .
Mo Beihan did not plan to bring back all the animals he got and instead, settled all of them here .
The wild boar was small and weighed around a hundred kilograms . However, in that age, food was scarce and everyone would definitely envy them if they saw the boar . Unless, they share it with everyone .

Apparently, Mo Beihan did not have that plan . It was always better to remain a low profile, especially when food was concerned .
Gu Qingyao used some stones to form a circle in the puddle and put the six fish inside . She then used all the pots, jars to boil water .
The boiled water was used to remove hair from the skin . After that, she sliced open the boar and chopped its meat piece by piece . She washed the meat, sprinkled some salt on them and hung them on a rack with rope .
She did not throw away any pork’s blood but instead, put all into the aluminium pot . Now she understood why Mo Beihan brought such a big pot over . He definitely had planned for everything .
She chopped all the bones into smaller pieces so that it was easier to carry .
It was almost sunset after they had settled everything . Gu Qingyao noticed the time and asked, “Should we still go and pick the mushrooms? It’s getting dark soon!”

“Let’s go . We try to pick as many as we can . We should head back late so that no one in the Brigade will see us . ”
Gu Qingyao nodded . They did not plan to bring back everything but it would save them from many troubles if they would not meet anyone .
Mo Beihan was shocked after he saw the number of wild mushrooms down the hill .
“There’re so many of them here?”
There were clumps of them scattering around the entire area and every mushroom was as big as a bowl .

Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “We’re lucky today!”
Mo Beihan rubbed her head as he saw the smiles on her face .
“You’re the lucky gem . Come, let’s pick the big ones and leave the smaller ones when we come back after a few days . ”
“Mhm!”
It took them only a short while to fill up four sacks of big mushrooms . Mo Beihan brought them back to the cave and dried them on big stones .

He then took some to bring back .

“Let’s go! It’s getting late . We’ll reach home at night . ”
They returned to the cave . Mo Beihan wrapped the bones with brown paper and put them into a sack, together with two pieces of pork hanging on the rack, the pork’s head, mushrooms and wild vegetables .
Gu Qingyao almost filled two sacks . She carried the two sacks on one side of the shoulder pole and dry branches on the other side .
They covered the cave before they left to prevent others from noticing it .
They passed the traps that Mo Beihan set earlier on . There were four rabbits, two chicken and one river deer . Even Mo Beihan laughed at their luck today .
But he did not know that the food he placed into the trap was mixed with spring water by Gu Qingyao secretly . The spring water was from her space, not some elixirs, just more refreshing and cleaner than water outside . She used to make drugs with that .

All the preys were attracted over by the smell of the food .
