Farmer's Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 5

Chu Qingzhi came to the courtyard and sat on the threshold. She supported her chin with her hands and looked at her grandfather and father, who were making a bed under the moonlight. Why were they so hardworking but could not even eat their fill?

Chu Eighth and Chu Ninth walked over and sat beside Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Eighth said, “Fifth Sister, what are you thinking about?”

Chu Qingzhi sighed. She was coming to this world to experience love tribulation, not starvation. However, the trajectory of this life made it difficult for her to explore the world. She was unhappy. “I’m thinking about how to make us not hungry.”

Chu Ninth’s eyes revealed a trace of anticipation. “Fifth Sister, have you thought of a way?”

Chu Qingzhi sighed. “I’m thinking about it now.”

Chu Eighth comforted her. “Fifth Sister, don’t worry. I can give you my portion. I’m young. It’s fine to eat less.”

Chu Ninth quickly said, “Me too. Fifth Sister, I can give you some too.”

Chu Qingzhi was a little touched by the two little fellows. She patted their heads. “I will think of a way. You don’t have to give me your food.”

Chu Second walked towards the three of them. “Fifth Sister, the water is ready. Go and take a shower.”

Chu Qingzhi looked up and asked, “Have you taken a shower?”

Chu Second smiled and shook her head. “Not yet. You shower first. We’ll take a shower after you’re done.”

Chu Qingzhi knew that everyone was worried that she would not be used to it after returning home, so they specially took care of her. She naturally accepted their kindness. “Alright, I’ll go and take a shower.”

She took a shower and came out. She sat on a stool under the roof and fanned herself with a fan.

Chu Rong was still making the bed, hammering the planks rhythmically.

As Chu Qingzhi watched, she suddenly felt that life as a farmer was not all that bad. It made her feel unprecedentedly relaxed.

“Qingzhi, what patterns do you like?” Chu Rong suddenly asked. “After I make the bed, I’ll carve them for you.”

Chu Qingzhi was caught off guard by the question and was stunned. “As for the pattern…” She actually wanted to say that there was no need, but if she refused, she would definitely disappoint Chu Rong, so she said, “Father, carve a bird. A magpie will do.”

Chu Rong nodded. “Alright, I can finish making the bed tomorrow.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Rong and said, “Father, don’t worry. It’s fine to sleep with Second Sister.”

Chu Rong treated his sons and daughters equally, but he felt a little guilty towards Chu Qingzhi, so he doted on her even more. “It’s too hot. It’s better to finish it as soon as possible so that you don’t have to squeeze on one bed.”

Chu Qingzhi said sweetly, “Thank you, Father.”

Chu Rong smiled and continued working.

Chu Qingzhi fell silent and continued to think about the ways to make the family not starve.

…

Chu Qingzhi waited and waited. After everyone fell asleep, she slipped out of the house and went to the mountains.

To others, the mountain forest was an extremely dangerous place, but to her, it was a treasure land. Everything inside could be used by her.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she picked a leaf and blew on it.

The leaf was cast with a spell and was sent into the forest by the spiritual power.

She wanted to find a mount.

The spell that was cast just now was used to tame the beasts.

Not long after, footsteps came from all directions. Soon, all kinds of beasts ran up to her.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the beasts that gathered and was choosing which one to be her mount. There were wolves, tigers, bears, and so on.

In the end, she chose the tiger as her mount and entered the mountains.

In the depths of the mountain forest, she appointed two big black bears as the main force, four wolves as helpers, and two monkeys as pathfinders to hunt.

When she went out to hunt, she had to hunt the big ones, and that was… a wild boar.

Chu Qingzhi sat on the tiger’s back, looking especially majestic. “Monkey, take me to the place where the wild boars live.”

The monkey squeaked twice before running to lead the way.

Not long after, the monkey stopped.

Chu Qingzhi scanned the area with her divine sense and realized that she had arrived at the wild boar den. There were forty to fifty wild boars lying in the forest not far away. “Go and catch four adult wild boars.

The beasts immediately took action. How could wild boars be a match for bears? The bears took down four boars with a few punches, and four wolves stood at the side, scaring away the wild boars that wanted to help.

“Good job. Now take the boars to my backyard.”

After Chu Qingzhi instructed, she patted the tiger’s head and asked it to change direction and walk back.

Soon, the four wild boars were transported to the backyard of the Chu family. Chu Qingzhi cast a freezing spell to freeze the four wild boars. Otherwise, they would be covered with flies tomorrow morning on such a hot day.

Chu Qingzhi rewarded the nine beasts with some spiritual energy. The spiritual energy could make them stronger and more competitive in the forest. Then, she let them return to the forest.

After doing all this, Chu Qingzhi finally heaved a sigh of relief. She did not have to starve tomorrow.
