Jiang Yue rubbed herself for half an hour and wiped off all the mud, feeling relaxed.

She looked down at the small bun on her chest and sighed, not sure if she could mend it. In my previous life, I was naturally beautiful, with a curvy front and back, but this time I turned into a dry bean sprout, and I was not happy at all.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiangyue has been covering herself up tightly, and her skin is quite fair, but her face is yellow due to lack of nutrition, and the ends of her hair are also withered and yellow. Her hair used to be long, the standard "waist-length hair", but she cut off 5 inches of it with a knife, and it was still able to be tied up.

She tidied herself up, looked up, and found Jiang Nian staring at her.

"What's wrong? Do you want to cut your hair too?"

She touched the wolf fur on her body, and it was now wet and turned into strands. She did not dare to cut it, for fear that it would look ugly like a dog chewing it like she did with the wound before.

She held the soap and said, "We won't cut it anymore. Let's give you a good scrub."

It was hot now, so she was afraid that Jiang Nian had lice on his body, but fortunately, he was a wolf who loved to be clean. Apart from some marks left from fights, he didn't attract any mosquitoes.

After drying her hair in the mountains, Jiang Yue lay on Jiang Nian's back and asked him to slowly find ginseng.

She didn't find ginseng, but she found Polygonum multiflorum and Poria cocos.

These two items also surprised the shopkeeper of the medical clinic. They are both good medicinal materials.

These two items were very heavy, and together with the yams saved by Jiang Yue, they were sold for a total of 6 taels of silver.

"Shopkeeper, do you know where there are medical books where I can learn how to prepare medicinal materials?"

The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide, he really couldn't tell the difference between a person and his appearance, "Young lady, you still know how to read?"

"I can just understand some simple words." Jiang Yue was not modest. At most, she could read and recognize simple traditional Chinese characters.

This is remarkable. Today's literate ladies are all in the scholar's house.

The shopkeeper took out a thin book from under the cabinet, "This is for apprentices. It contains common techniques for preparing medicinal materials. Our medical clinic has a fate with the young lady, so I gave it to you."

Although the craftsmanship is not passed on to others, how can the truly important craftsmanship be purchased in bookstores outside? It's all in Master's mind. It is fanciful to think that you can grab a job by relying on this little skill. The shopkeeper is not afraid at all.

After going back and forth several times, he just saw this young couple fall in love with each other. Moreover, the prepared medicinal materials will also be delivered to my home. This matter is beneficial to both parties.

Jiang Yue knew that in this era, books were precious things, so she quickly thanked the shopkeeper.

Before leaving, she asked the doctor at the medical center to help take the pulses of herself and Jiang Nian.

Doctor Zhu knew that this was a drug farmer with whom he had a cooperative relationship, and what he said was straightforward.

"This husband is in good health and there is nothing serious. But you, my dear wife, are weak and weak..."

Jiang Yue was asked to summarize what the doctor said in just four words: malnutrition. I prescribed some medicine to take care of my health. But to replenish the foundation, medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements.

She looked at Jiang Nian and saw that there was a baby with a big stomach to raise, and she didn't know how long the 100 chickens she bought could last. Oh no, there are only 97 chickens left...

The shopkeeper also gave them a small discount on the medicine fee, and now they had a total of about 8 taels and 5 yuan left on hand, which was a lot of money.

But for what she wanted to do, the money still came too slowly.

Back at the thatched house, she cooked rice, fried vegetables, left half of the raw chicken for Jiang Nian, and stewed half of the chicken with wolfberry and red dates.

The aroma filled the air, and as a chef, she was drooling. Fortunately, there were no living neighbors around, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago. Jiangjia Village only smells a little bit of meat during the New Year and festivals.

She ate to her fill, and then stared at Jiang Nian as he finished the remaining cooked food one bite at a time.

"What's wrong? Isn't this also meat? It's so fat."

Jiang Yue put a few pieces of chicken into his bowl and looked at his tightly furrowed brows, as if she was disgusted.

"Let me tell you, you are still disgusted now. When natural disasters come in a while, you will have to eat grass if there is no meat! Maybe, there will be no grass by then, and you will have to chew turf to survive. Do you know Know?"

Jiang Nian sniffed and finished all the meat and vegetables in an aggrieved manner, leaving nothing behind.

This is right, children just can’t be spoiled.

Before going to bed, Jiang Nian stripped naked and lay on the bed without her noticing. He probably still didn't like wearing clothes.

But Jiang Yue is not a savage, how can she see naked people every day? This body is only 15 years old, and even its menstrual period is still irregular. Hormones cannot rise randomly.

She knelt on the bed, rubbed his thick and silky hair, and gently stroked his little fangs with her fingertips.

Jiang Nian's ears twitched and he instantly transformed into a wolf. Jiang Yue had no place to hold on and fell directly on top of him.

Jiang Nian took advantage of the situation and rolled her up with his tail.

She was buried in the warm body and her voice was muffled, "Is it because you have been eating too well recently? Why do I feel that you are getting bigger and bigger?"

The body has not changed much, but the wolf body, which was only a little bigger than her before, is now a third larger, filling the bed completely.

Speaking of big prey, she stretched out her hand to rub Jiang Nian's pointed ears, "Can you catch the big prey? We're getting money too slowly, and we're afraid we won't have time to prepare."

She bought a few bamboo cages and planned to save the rabbits and pheasants that were still alive and raise them. She would have to buy chickens and pigs in the future to stock up on more meat.

Her space can only grow plants, but cannot raise animals. At most, it can only maintain a static state of immortality.

Jiang Nian nuzzled her neck, probably agreeing.

One person and one wolf were sleeping soundly. A sneaky figure came out of the village and slowly approached the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Nian opened his eyes, and those sharp eyes seemed to shine in the dark night.

The person in his arms was sleeping soundly. He slowly stood up and leaned her against the wall.

The thatched house had no gate or fence. The thief was afraid of being recognized, so he covered half of his face, revealing only a pair of small eyes.

He stood on tiptoes, tiptoed close to the window, and looked at the bed through the moonlight. There was only one woman sleeping on it.

He laughed silently and obscenely, then turned around, and just as he was about to break open the door, a pair of bright eyes stared at him in the darkness around the corner.

He instantly collapsed to the ground, breathing rapidly, as if someone had strangled his neck, and he was so frightened that he lost his voice.

The monster seemed to be walking towards him. He reacted and ran into the village as fast as he could in his life...

Jiang Yue was in a daze, as if she heard a "plop". She half-opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on the bed, "Big boy, Jiang Nian?"

Jiang Nian walked back to the bed and licked her face.

Jiang Yue buried her face in it, refusing to lick it until it was sticky, "Where have you been?"

No one answered and she soon fell asleep again.
