After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Cui's situation was not so smooth. Although her knife hit the wolf's neck, the wolf seemed to go crazy after feeling the pain. Even though there was a big wound on its neck, it still stepped back suddenly, jumped up and pounced on Cui.

Cui gritted her teeth and was about to rush forward with the bone-cutting knife in hand, but at the critical moment Yuxiu came over and chopped at the wolf with a hoe, just enough to cut off half of its head.

Both of them were splashed with the smelly wolf blood, but looking at the two wolves lying dead on the ground, they felt very satisfied.

The system's reward arrived quickly. After confirming that the two wolves were really dead, a gray cloth bag filled with cornmeal and a somewhat worn-looking bamboo backpack appeared in front of Yuxiu.

Yuxiu also took this opportunity to explain to Cui in a low voice that the things given by the immortal master were not given for free and that she had to complete the tasks assigned by him. After that, Cui was able to accept it very quickly.

Her understanding was that since someone had accepted her daughter as an apprentice, he would definitely teach her some good things. Wasn't it a gradual teaching every time she completed a task?

This made a lot of sense, and Yuxiu couldn't find any reason to refute it. The two of them took a deep breath and decided to peel off the wolf skin, process it a little and then cover the backpack with it.

If the two women traveled alone, they would definitely attract some people's attention. If they really had these two wolf skins, they could avoid a lot of trouble to a certain extent.

The matter of dealing with the wolf skin was handed over to Cui. Yuxiu collected half of the cornmeal and put the rest into the space. She then found a military water bottle and filled it with some hot water from the water dispenser in the store. Then she took out two boxes of biscuits, removed the exquisite packaging bags, and carefully wrapped them tightly with oil paper.

In order to avoid the wolf approaching without noticing, Yuxiu asked the system to help keep an eye on things. She quickly packed up most of the things in the backpack and tore off a piece of dark floral cloth to cover the food.

Cui was very efficient. She used the dagger that Yuxiu gave her and quickly peeled off the wolf skin and scraped off the grease on it. In fact, she also knew how to tan the fur, but the conditions were limited at the moment, so she could only do it casually.

The smell of blood was very strong here, so they didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly walked down the mountain with the packed baskets on their backs.

It is said that it is easier to go up a mountain than to go down. Moreover, no one has walked through this forest for a long time, and there is not even a road. The two of them supported each other and stumbled down the mountain, encountering many wild animals along the way.

First, they caught two wild rabbits. Yuxiu tied them up with a straw rope and carried them. Soon, she saw a fluttering pheasant. Cui swung her knife and cut off the pheasant's head.

Just as the two were looking at each other and smiling with some pride, a fishy smell came from the front, followed by the stuttering voice of the system.

"Snake... Such a big snake..."

Yuxiu looked up and saw a huge python as thick as an adult's arm standing upright, looking at them gloomily with a pair of golden pupils.

Damn, they can’t beat this thing, so they’d better hide for now.

Yuxiu took Cui's hand and quickly entered the space without even having time to pick up the pheasant on the ground.

At the moment when the two people disappeared from the spot, the giant python swooped down to the place where Yuxiu and the others had been standing before. It paused for a moment in confusion, then circled around twice. Finally, it had to pick up the pheasant with its head chopped off on the ground and crawled away quickly.

Yuxiu and Cui in the space were both covered in cold sweats. They sat there for a while in shock. Yuxiu simply used the rice cooker in the store to cook a pot of rice.

The small supermarket has a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and the large freezer is filled with various meats. On weekdays, Yuxiu is in charge of the supermarket, and she has everything she needs for cooking.

Cui had been following her daughter's side, marveling at her while secretly memorizing the methods of doing these things. Once she became familiar with them, she would be able to do them herself, allowing Yuxiu to have a good rest.

Yuxiu's movements were very quick, and with Cui's help, they quickly prepared two dishes and a soup, which were served and placed on the table.

The braised pork with rich red sauce, the stir-fried rapeseed with emerald greens, and the delicious tomato fried egg soup, Cui had never even seen them, not to mention having eaten them. When she took the full bowl of white rice handed to her by Yuxiu, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"My daughter, am I dreaming?"

Yuxiu tore off a tissue to wipe her tears, picked up the chopsticks and put two pieces of meat in her bowl, and gently advised:

"Mom, stop crying. Let's eat first before going out. We will have the energy to catch up with the teams passing by the mountain."

Cui thought about it and it made sense. She wiped away her tears and picked up a piece of meat for Yuxiu.

"Hurry up and eat, my daughter. Your parents have not been very capable over the years and have never given you such delicious food. Now you are benefiting from my daughter's kindness."

After being hungry for many days, the food tasted really delicious. After eating, they were still reluctant to leave. Yuxiu took two bottles of yogurt and shared them with Cui.

After resting for a while, Yuxiu asked the system to help see if the thing outside had left. After getting a positive reply, she carefully pulled Cui out, and the two of them ran all the way down the mountain.

Seeing that they were about to leave the forest, Yuxiu took out the backpack again and put it on her back. The two hares were still there, so she put one in the space as a backup and put the other one in the backpack.

There was an official road at the bottom of the hill. The two men hid behind a big tree and watched for a while, then selected a small team of about twenty people.

They looked like two families traveling together, with both men and women, and an old lady with gray hair. She was holding a little girl of two or three years old in her arms, sitting on a wheelbarrow, with a few packages and two rolls of bedding leaning against her back, and was being pushed forward steadily by a tall and strong man.

There was also a flatbed cart at the back, which was piled with large and small bags and some pots and pans. There were three little kids sitting on the edge, laughing and making noises.

Everyone else was carrying something, more or less. Although they looked ragged, they were in good spirits, a bit better than those people with murderous eyes.

"Mom, just follow them. Otherwise, if you miss them, you won't know who they are."

Yuxiu suggested that several groups of people had passed by before, but apart from some old, weak, sick and disabled people, there were also those vicious and ferocious people. They, two weak women, did not want to go out and cause trouble.
