Chapter 2 Steamed Crayfish

  Mu Chen saw his second brother looking at him, and there was a wry smile on his malnourished face.

  "The show jobs sent this time were withheld, and they didn't get a penny, and they didn't show us any more."

   "Why?" Mu Yun's heart skipped a beat.

  That is the current source of income for their family.

  Autumn is here, is winter far behind?

  If there is no food left, they will starve to death in winter.

"It's not that dead woman. If she didn't owe someone money, could they use our show life to pay off the debt? They said that our wife is not a good thing. Even a wife is not a good thing. What can a husband do? So They all wish to stay away from us. Heh!"

  The third child, Mu Xuan, laughed out of anger.

  What crime did they commit? Parents died young, leaving four brothers, living a miserable life.

   Later, I met such a wife who was not human.

  What's the point of being alive?

  Thinking of this, Mu Xuan's eyes were filled with ashes, and his eyes were lifeless, and then he said: "Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, this day can't be passed. Why don't we..."

   "Third brother!" Mu Qing said coldly, interrupting Mu Xuan's next words.

   "I'm going up the mountain tomorrow."

  Joy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no sound outside.

  At this moment, she realized that she was breaking out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

   Smiling bitterly in his heart, this Mu Xuan... is really fierce.

   If you guessed right, then if you didn’t say it, the whole family should die together.

  Since life has no hope, it would be better to die.

  Early death and early rebirth...

   Fortunately, the boss Mu Qing stopped her, otherwise she would have been buried with Mu Xuan.

  She will be the fastest one among the many time-traveling women.

   On the second day, it was dawn, and Joey woke up.

  No way, she was really hungry and woke up countless times in the middle of the night.

   Dragging his weak body to the outside, he took a deep breath.

   Tightening the thin clothes on his body, he shivered uncontrollably.

  This autumn morning is already a bit cold.

  Picking up the basket placed by the wall, Joey started to walk towards the river ahead.

  Mu's family lives in the east end of Mu's Village. From a distance, there is a lonely thatched house standing on the hillside.

   Except for a small clean area around the thatched hut and a small vegetable field, the rest of the place is full of weeds as tall as half a person.

  If the weeds were taller, they would be taller than the thatched house.

   In his memory, Joey learned that there was a red "monster" with big pincers that could bite people by the river, and there were many of them.

   If she guessed right, it should be her favorite crayfish in her previous life.

  Because it can bite people, the shell is hard to swallow, and it is not easy to handle, so even if the villagers have no food to eat, they would rather be hungry than eat this "monster".

   In the end, there are many, many "monsters".

   Arriving by the river, Joey knew a lot about this, and finally got an idea.

   This is too much, it is simply flooding.

   Seeing this, Joy's eyes flashed with joy.

  Finally there is something to eat, and I can finally stop starving.

  Finding two branches, Joey put the basket into the river, and then pulled it with the branches, and immediately several crayfish the size of a fist entered the basket.

   It may be because there are no natural enemies.

   I was dragged into the basket and didn't know how to run, but there was someone crawling into the basket by itself.

  In a moment, Joey filled a basket of crayfish.

  With food that can fill his stomach, Joey is in a much better mood.

   Only then did he look at himself reflected in the river in a good mood.

   Messy hair, a typical oval face, dry and rough skin, big eyes and thin lips, and a straight nose bridge.

  The long eyelashes are like cattail fans, and the beautiful eyebrow shape. There also appears to be a stud on the left ear.

   As for the body, it is dry and thin.

  The clothes on his body are thin and covered with patches.

  Joy sighed. Fortunately, the original owner had a good background, otherwise she would have been depressed.

  His stomach was singing empty city plans, and Joey was not in the mood to look at himself anymore. He tidied his hair, picked up the basket and walked back.

  When we got to the front of the hut, the Mu family brothers had already got up.

   Looking at the straw shed next to the hut, Qiao Yi smiled wryly.

   How is this original owner not human?

   occupied other people's houses and let them live in sheds.

  The house is obviously a place with two rooms, but he was the only one who occupied them all.

  Mu Xuan glanced at Qiao Yi who was carrying the basket, snorted and said nothing.

  Mu Chen pulled the weeds carefully in the vegetable field, for fear of damaging any vegetable.

  Mu Qing was sharpening a broken and almost useless knife with a cold face.

  As for Mu Yun, he lit the fire on the simple stove next to him and stirred the pot from time to time.

   Presumably he was cooking.

  Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qiao Yi couldn't help touching his nose.

   came to Mu Yun.

  Although Mu Yun is the most difficult to contact, at least he talks to himself.

   "My wife, the meal will be ready in a while, please wait for a while."

  Mu Yun glanced at Qiao Yi, his gaze stayed on the basket for a moment, and then he looked away.

   After catching so many monsters, aren't you afraid of being bitten?

  This Mu family brother looks really good.

   It's just too thin, and the dish on his face doesn't look aesthetically pleasing.

   But the foundation is pretty good, the food is better, and after a while, it will definitely change a lot.

   Seeing that Qiao Yi didn't leave, Mu Yun didn't say anything, and continued to concentrate on looking at the wild vegetables in the pot.

   I just have some doubts in my heart.

   It stands to reason that their wives should have lost their temper, asked for money, and then beat someone.

   But how could it be so quiet?

  Since the wife master woke up yesterday, he always felt that something was different.

   After Qiao Yi waited for Mu Yun to wash out the wild vegetable soup in the pot, he immediately put a bowl of water into the iron pot that was missing half of the gap.

   Then pour all the crayfish in the basket into the pot.

   Seeing that there was no pot cover, Qiao Yi directly used the dustpan on the side as the pot cover.

  Seeing that there is not much fire in the stove, I filled a few more firewood into it.

   Cooking crayfish is the easiest way, just put a little water to cook a large pot of crayfish, just boil it for a few minutes, of course, it is best if there is salt or something.

   Unfortunately, no!

  At this moment, Qiao Yi could already feel that the Mu family brothers were looking at him.

   But she didn't explain.

   It's not too late to talk about things when you're full.

  After Mu Xuan washed his hands, he saw Qiao Yi cooking the monster, and opened his mouth to speak, but was held back by the second brother Mu Yun.

   shook his head at him.

  The youngest Mu Xuan's chest heaved violently when he saw this.

   It wasn't until the boss Mu Qing gave him a cold look that he froze.

   Curling his lips, he sat aside and waited for dinner.

   They can't eat without Joey at the table.

  The time for a stick of incense flies by.

  The wild vegetable soup made by Mu Yun is already cold.

   And the crayfish that Qiao Yi had been looking forward to for so long was finally cooked.

  Because he couldn't find anything that could hold crayfish, Joey didn't dislike it, so he directly took the basket to hold cooked crayfish.

  After everything was packed, he brought a basket of crayfish to the dilapidated table in the yard.

  With the lesson learned from breaking the bowl yesterday, Joey put down the basket carefully at this time.

  The four brothers of the Mu family looked at the basket of "monsters" in front of them, and frowned fiercely.
