Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

With a cry of "Ouch!", Zuo Qingqing squatted down, rubbing her shinbone. The rabbit had already knocked her unconscious.

Meanwhile, the old wolf had already adjusted its direction and was chasing after them. The old wolf also saw the two people, but for food and for survival, animal instinct made it disregard everything else and it pounced straight at the two people with a kick.

Liu Xiangyang looked at Zuo Qingqing, who was already somewhat frightened, and said, "Old Hunter Zuo, why don't you deal with it?"

"Liu, Liu, Liu Xiangyang, please help me up, I can't stand up." Zuo Qingqing stammered, reaching out her hand to ask Liu Xiangyang to help her up.

Liu Xiangyang ignored her, took a step forward, and threw the short spear in his hand.

With a "thud," the short spear pierced through the body, producing only a dull thud.

The wolf's lunge was abruptly interrupted by the force of the short spear, causing it to fall directly onto the snow.

"Zuo Qingqing, you're really something. There's an old story about waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump. From now on, you, Zuo Qingqing, are someone with a story to tell."

"In ancient times, that rabbit ran into a tree stump and fainted. Now, if a rabbit runs into your leg and faints, I think we should call it 'Iron Bones Summoning Rabbits'," Liu Xiangyang said jokingly, then burst into laughter.

"Liu Xiangyang, you, you..." Zuo Qingqing stammered for a long time, unable to say a word, and was almost in tears.

Zuo Qingqing felt so angry that her nose was about to be crooked and she was about to faint. How could anyone say such a thing? She just didn't react in time and got hit by a rabbit. How could anyone make such a fuss about someone?

"Liu Xiangyang! Stop gloating. Fine, from now on I'll be called Iron Bone. How about that? I can knock a rabbit unconscious. Can you? You're just jealous of me."

"You're quite good at comforting yourself. Let me see how badly you were hurt." Liu Xiangyang walked over to Zuo Qingqing and squatted down next to her.

Looking at the rabbit lying at Zuo Qingqing's feet, Liu Xiangyang wanted to laugh, but he held back his laughter, tapped the rabbit again, and threw it into the basket.

"Don't move, let me take a look." Liu Xiangyang pressed on the spot where Zuo Qingqing had been hit and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Please press gently!" Zuo Qingqing shook her head in pain.

"Does it hurt that much? I think it will only hurt for a short while. This is a hard injury from being bumped, and it's just a rabbit."

Liu Xiangyang stood up and gestured with his fingers, "Take a couple of steps and let me see."

Zuo Qingqing took two steps and found nothing unusual. Just as Liu Xiangyang had said, it only hurt for a moment, and then the pain subsided.

"It's alright, let's hurry up and go, otherwise we'll have to sleep in the snow tonight. If you get carried away by a tiger, I won't be able to save you."

Liu Xiangyang pulled the short spear from the old wolf's head, wiped it in the snow, and strode forward.

Zuo Qingqing quickly followed, muttering, "Liu Xiangyang is a big jerk. He doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all, and he even scared them. What a bad guy."

"If you keep insulting me, I won't wait for you anymore."

"You stingy person."

Perhaps because they had just killed a wolf, the two men carried a murderous aura. Their journey went relatively smoothly without any major setbacks, and they arrived near the shelter shortly after dark.

The entire stream was completely frozen over. When we came to the small pool along the stream, the entire surface of the water was covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Wow, Liu Xiangyang, you're amazing! You managed to find such a great spot. If we just hold this place, animals will come to drink water, and then we can just hurl our javelins at them." Zuo Qingqing ran around on the ice.

"Then you stay here and keep watch, I'm going upstairs." Liu Xiangyang strode towards the shelter above.

"Damn it, wait for me!" Zuo Qingqing quickly followed.

The two arrived at the spring. Liu Xiangyang pushed open the door of the shelter, unloaded the basket from his back and leaned it against the corner of the wall. There were still some pine branches left from the last time. He lit a match to light the pine branches, and then put a few pieces of firewood on the stove.

Zuo Qingqing stared in disbelief at the stove and heated brick bed in the room, then leaned closer to Liu Xiangyang and looked him up and down.

"Liu Xiangyang, did you do this or was it already there? This is absolutely amazing! This isn't hunting, it's... I don't know how to describe it, I'm so impressed."

"Don't praise me. The cooking is your job. Go outside and fetch some water to wash the rice and cook." Liu Xiangyang took out the iron pot and put it on the stand, directing Zuo Qingqing to wash the rice.

While Zuo Qingqing was out washing rice, Liu Xiangyang piled up the firewood he had collected along the way from his spatial storage and took out the food from his basket and put it away.

"What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it for you," Zuo Qingqing asked as she brought in a pot.

"Let's just have some red sausage over rice."

"I've noticed you're living a really good life. I heard your family must be quite well-off. Why did you come to the countryside?" Zuo Qingqing said as she placed the pot on the stove and took off her coat, putting it on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"My ideological awareness is high. My family has already found me a job, but I responded to the country's call." Liu Xiangyang raised his chin and looked at Zuo Qingqing with a proud expression.

"Come on, I heard you came to the countryside in place of your sister. How does that make you so ideologically conscious?" Zuo Qingqing looked at the pretentious Liu Xiangyang with disdain.

"Why are you asking so many questions about me? Do you want to marry me?" Liu Xiangyang glanced at Zuo Qingqing's curves revealed as she bent over and said flirtatiously. "It's not impossible."

"Tch, you're so vain. You think everyone likes you?" Zuo Qingqing turned around and stared at Liu Xiangyang.

"Sorry, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously. My mom won't let me get married here." Liu Xiangyang quickly apologized, realizing he hadn't realized what was going on. This wasn't the future, where flirting might at most result in a lawsuit, but now it could be fatal. He quickly resorted to the "my mom won't allow it" excuse.

"Liu Xiangyang, do you never think before you speak? Do you just blurt out lies without thinking?"

"And aren't you dating Xue Bingbing? Did your mother approve?"

"..." Liu Xiangyang was speechless after being rebuked.

Zuo Qingqing sliced ​​the sausage, put it in the pot, covered it with the lid, and turned to Liu Xiangyang: "I told you so, you have nothing to say now."

"Xue Bingbing and I only became close because we were in the same batch of educated youth and traveled together. Don't spread rumors," Liu Xiangyang quickly explained.

"What about Leqi?" Zuo Qingqing asked, getting closer to Liu Xiangyang.

"Leqi, Leqi is the same. We were in the same batch of educated youth and came together on the train. I saw that they were girls on the train, so I helped them a little. That's all," Liu Xiangyang argued.

"Hmph, what are you trying to explain to me? I don't care." Zuo Qingqing said with a haughty expression.
