Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Shock

Someone on the roof called out that the Branch Secretary had some business, so Yunyi headed into the kitchen.

Seeing that the stove had already been tidied, she placed the new pot she had bought onto the larger burner. She glanced out into the courtyard; no one was looking her way. So, she took out a small iron pot she had brought from Beijing and placed it onto the other burner. With that, she was finished.

Considering this sweltering heat, it would be best to prepare some boiled water for everyone, she thought.

However, after searching around, she couldn’t find a single piece of firewood. She had to ask one of the villagers helping in the courtyard, "Uncle, where do we usually gather firewood around here?"

The villager she’d spoken to pointed towards South Mountain, not far away. "We usually go to South Mountain. It’s safe there. The back mountain, Big Black Mountain, is closer, but occasionally large creatures roam there, so very few people go."

Thinking she was only going up the mountain for firewood, Yunyi didn’t take a back basket with her. Carrying her newly bought hatchet, she left the small courtyard.

To get to South Mountain, I’d have to walk over a kilometer further, Yunyi mused. The back mountain is closer. Although my physical skills haven’t fully recovered, self-defense shouldn’t be an issue, especially with my ’space’ ability as a cheat.

She turned and headed straight for Big Black Mountain. The outer edges seemed to have been recently scoured by firewood gatherers, as not much was left, so she ventured deeper into the woods.

Her luck was decent. After walking further in, she spotted a dead tree in the distance. A few swift strokes with her hatchet, and the job was quickly done.

Just as she was about to drag it back, she heard a stir not far away. Bending down, she picked up a few stones, holding them tightly, her eyes filled with wariness.

When she saw clearly that it was two rabbits, her eyes immediately lit up.

I was just wondering how to thank everyone for their help! she thought. I can’t let this one get away! She quickly gave chase and pounced, catching it. Perfect!
