Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 148 The Happy Siblings

"Little Jin, Little Jin, it's so useful!" I'm so excited, this is truly a magical artifact.

"Of course, host, what I recommend is never bad." Little Gold's proud tone concealed its deep joy.

This thing was something it found in the cultivation world, so it's naturally very useful.

It cost some money, but not much. After deducting the fees paid to the main system, it even made the money for a skin. I'm so happy, I'm spinning around in joy.

Bai Jing had no idea about the tricks involved. Anyway, she felt that the 500,000 yuan deduction was well worth it, since the item could be reused, so she didn't lose out.

After securing her share of the meat, Bai Jing stopped focusing solely on the wild boar and instead visualized a pheasant in her mind before pressing the trigger on her crossbow.

To everyone's surprise, the arrow made no sound at all.

"Xiao Jin, what's going on?" Wasn't it supposed to be enough to just have a picture in your mind?

She's even come up with images of pheasants!

[The host forgot to mention, this crossbow has a limited range; it's useless beyond 200 meters. The fact that the arrow didn't move proves there are no pheasants within a 200-meter radius of you.]

Xiao Jin immediately remembered the rules for using this arrow; it was the arrow itself that made those rules.

If you don't follow the rules, once the arrow is released, it's gone forever.

"There's such a thing?" Bai Jing was speechless. "Next time, please make it clear in advance."

Although she already thought 200 meters was impressive, she still wanted to express her dissatisfaction in order to prevent Xiao Jin from causing her trouble in the future.

"Okay, host, I'll be more careful next time." Xiao Jin replied, wiping away the sweat that had been forming on his forehead.

I'll have to be careful from now on. If the host finds out I tricked her, I'm doomed.

This is likely because wild boars have been spotted here, and the pheasants and other animals have been scared away.

Helpless, Bai Jing had no choice but to look elsewhere.

Fortunately, the mountains and forests are quite large, so she won't go into the deep mountains. On the way back, she can look for pheasants and rabbits.

Bai Jing was lucky; she had been experimenting with the crossbow, and after what seemed like the umpteenth press, the crossbow finally made a sound.

With a whoosh, three of them went out.

Why are there three?

That's because there were only three pheasants within 200 meters.

Still in different locations, Bai Jing watched the three arrows fly out and felt terrible, but the arrows had to be retrieved, so she had no choice but to pick them up.

I had no choice but to run it over and over again.

With the three pheasants in hand, Bai Jing then mentally sketched out the image of a rabbit.

Bai Jing pressed the button once, and an arrow flew out, but it embedded itself in the ground.

Bai Jing was confused.

If it died in the cave, how was she supposed to retrieve it?

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, something's happened." Bai Jing had no choice but to call out to the system.

Xiao Jin had been paying close attention to its host and naturally knew what she was anxious about.

[Host, don't worry, I'll teach you a spell.]

Xiao Jin's words left Bai Jing speechless. Did she look like an idiot?
"Xiao Jin, I think you've made enough money and want to unbind yourself from me, right?" This system is too frivolous. "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Xiao Jin chuckled sheepishly. [Host, don't be angry. I was just joking. You won't get the rabbit, but you can take back the arrow.]

[Once the arrow approaches within ten meters, it will automatically return to its original position with a thought from the host.]

Bai Jing rolled her eyes. Well, the rabbit wouldn't get to eat lunch, but roasted pheasant would be nice too.

Bai Jing reached out from the hole where the arrow had just flown, then silently chanted "come back," and sure enough, the arrow returned to the bow and crossbow.

When Bai Jing went to meet up with her younger siblings, she caught a few more pheasants. By the time she reached the water source, she had seven or eight pheasants in her basket.

"I'm back." Bai Jing saw her younger siblings playing by the stream from afar.

They lit a fire, and the two little ones had a snowball fight there, having a wonderful time.

Upon hearing their eldest sister's voice, the three immediately looked in the direction of the sound. "Eldest sister!" they all called out in unison.

Bai Jing quickened her pace toward the three people, who in turn rushed toward their eldest sister.

After meeting, Bai Jing originally thought that her sister-in-law would ask her a question, but unexpectedly...

"Big sister, what did you catch today?"

"Big sister, let me see if there are any pheasants."

Alright, all three of them are staring at their own baskets.

Helpless, Bai Jing had no choice but to take down her basket and show it to them, saying, "I didn't find anything, just a few pheasants."

Bai Ling took the basket and was shocked by the pheasants inside.

It wasn't because the older sister caught a pheasant, but because the pheasant was so fat in the middle of winter.

This was something they had never encountered before.

Even broom mice, which love to hide things, have never been this fat.

"Big sister, it seems that not many people come to this mountain forest." Bai Ling was older and more knowledgeable, and her words were insightful.

“That’s right. It’s far from the town. Even if people go up the mountain, few people come here. They all go over there.” Bai Jing pointed to the low peaks they had come from.

Indeed, this place is already considered half-deep in the mountains; those without considerable skill probably wouldn't dare to come here.

After all, that herd of wild boars was not something anyone could handle; if you actually encountered them, it was uncertain whether you would live or die.

Arriving at the campfire, Bai Jing sat on the clean stones her younger siblings had cleared out and took out a small knife.

She bought this knife from the system back then, but rarely used it and just kept it in the system space. Today, she'll use it to skin the chicken.

There was nothing they could do; they didn't have a pot and couldn't boil water.

But she brought salt, which Bai Ling had specially prepared for their trip into the mountains.

After peeling three, they started roasting them. Luckily, they had started a fire beforehand, otherwise they would have had to wait a long time to start a fire.

"Big sister, do you think there might be fish in this stream?" Xiao Yong was still thinking about the fish in the water.

He wanted to go into the water, but his second sister wouldn't allow it, so he had to wait for his eldest sister to come back before catching fish in the stream.

Bai Jing glanced at the shallow stream and shook her head. "There shouldn't be any fish in there."

It's running water, and the water level is shallow, so how could there be any fish?

However, I believe there will be crabs next spring.

"Oh, no." Xiao Yong immediately looked disappointed. "I was planning to go fishing after my older sister came back."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing slapped him twice in annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's the middle of winter, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"

Bai Yong, clutching his slapped bottom, said, "It's not like we haven't been through this before. It'll be warm again in a bit." He replied sheepishly.

Upon hearing this, the three sisters fell silent.

"Big sister, life feels like a dream, I can't believe it's real." Bai Ling added firewood to the fire, her face showing a hint of disbelief.

Xiao Jing nodded in agreement, "Me too. I don't dare to sleep too soundly at night, for fear that I'll wake up and go back to my old home."

The little girl's voice was filled with deep sadness, and her eyes were brimming with tears.

Bai Jing patted their heads tenderly. "It's true, it's all true. We've left this place of suffering, and things will only get better from now on." She had no idea her sisters had been so worried these past few days.

It was her fault for not calming them down immediately.
