The sauce was the one that Xiao Li brought over yesterday. It was mixed with minced meat. Although there was not much meat, the fragrance of the meat was very strong.

“I wonder how Xiao Li made this sauce. It’s spicy, fragrant, and meaty.” Jiang Chuan swallowed the food in his mouth.

Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu also nodded their heads vigorously. Uncle Li’s sauce was really delicious.

Zhou Lan dipped some wild vegetables into the sauce and put them into her mouth. “They’re not allowed to sell it now. Otherwise, Xiao Li’s sauce would definitely sell.”

They continued to walk into the mountains after dinner. Jiang Xia estimated that it was already past ten o’clock, but the trees on the mountain were lush and the scorching sun couldn’t reach them.

Because they had to take out something that did not exist in this era, they needed to settle down in the mountains.

In order to prevent any possibility of being discovered, they had to build a wooden house as a temporary residence.

The further they went, the fewer traces of humans they could see. Instead, there were more traces of animals.

The mountain was different from the outside world. Even in the dry stream, one could still see small streams of water.

Jiang Chuan brought his family into the mountains and did not encounter any wild beasts along the way. Instead, there were only rabbits and pheasants jumping around.

After walking for a long time, Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia found an open space in the forest.

“Why don’t we build a shed here first? Put everything down first.” Jiang Chuan said.

Jiang Xia looked around. It was not far from the river, and there were no signs of humans or beasts stepping on the grass. It should be safe.

Xiao Gu was still young so she felt really tired. But in order not to make her mother carry her, she did not utter a world. She only sat down when her father said that they will be building a shed there.

Jiang Xia walked to Jiang Gu’s side and teased her. “Xiao Gu, are you trying to show off? You don’t want Mother to carry you. Are you not tired?”

Jiang Gu thought that she had pretended well and did not let her family find out that she was tired. However, it was really obvious in Jiang Xia’s eyes and she had to tease her about it.

Jiang Gu pouted, “I’m not tired. I’m not tired.”

Seeing her parents and sister in high spirits, Jiang Gu refused to admit it.

Jiang Xia smiled and handed over a porcelain jar filled with water, “Don’t be so brazen. Drink some water and relax.”

Jiang Xia was not teasing Jiang Gu on purpose, instead, it was her mother who wanted Jiang Gu to climb up the mountain alone to train her stamina.

In modern times, Zhou Lan also wanted to train Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia. However, these two were too disappointing. They were tired after climbing the mountain for less than 20 minutes. No matter what she tried to tempt them with, it was useless. Zhou Lan had no choice but to give up on her plan.

Jiang Gu looked at the water in the jar and did not want it. However, she smelled something sweet and took a sip. She instantly felt a lot stronger and asked Jiang Xia, “Jiang Xia, this is water?”

Jiang Xia chuckled, “You’re not tired anymore, are you? You will see even more amazing things in the future! Don’t be too surprised!”

Although Jiang Gu had drunk a lot of space water before, it was different this time. Previously, Zhou Lan would either put it in when she was cooking or feed it to Jiang Gu when she was weak.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan sighed at the same time when they saw their daughter teasing their youngest daughter. They then looked at each other and smiled. To others, entering the mountains was no different from entering a tiger’s den, but to them, it was a holiday.

Zhou Lan took out the things she had prepared at the foot of the mountain. Other than some food, there were also many tools, such as saws, axes, ropes, and so on. As they might stay here for quite a while, they made sure to prepare a lot of things.

Zhou Lan and Jiang Chuan were planning where to start building the wooden house. They were confident because they had experience with living in the wild in the modern days. They had participated in a TV show that invited three groups of families.

They had to live for half a month so the three families worked together to build temporary wooden houses in the wild. It helped a lot with the situation now..
