How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 19: After Discovering Deadly Danger, Caught Three More Pheasants

She thought for a moment, then looked at the government officer.

"Lord, come with me, and you’ll understand then."

The officer who had taken Pei Shu’er’s silver looked a bit reluctant, but the leading officer, Lu Qing, pondered for a moment, then said.

"We’ll go with you."

Though death was inevitable on the road to exile, if too many died, they wouldn’t be able to account for it.

Previously, when Pei Shu’er was in the forest, she scouted around and found that this forest was larger than others, and now there were already some traces of grey miasma.

"When the miasma is about to arrive, poisonous insects will become active one or two days in advance."

Pei Shu’er parted the leaves there, revealing a few poisonous scorpions, their tails black and blue, clearly venomous.

The suspicion on the officer’s face began to waver, Lu Qing said, "Could it be a coincidence?"

He also wanted to be cautious but was not about to abandon a well-guarded position because of a few scorpions.

Moreover, the exiles wouldn’t agree, and if they caused a scene, it would be hard for them to handle.

Pei Shu’er continued to move forward, and at every place she stopped, poisonous creatures were found under the leaves.

Pei Shu’er said, "Lord, even without the miasma, these poisonous insects are enough to cause trouble for everyone, let alone the even more terrifying miasma."

Lu Qing thought for a long time: "Alright."

Then the two officers took Pei Shu’er back to the group, and the officer announced.

"Tonight, everyone will rest on flat ground, better not to rest in the dense forest."

This statement stirred up the crowd, who were already starving, hoping to find some food in the dense forest. Now, being prohibited from entering meant enduring another day.

Especially Mrs. Li, who had seen Pei Shu’er whispering with the officers before, was even more furious now seeing that they believed her.

She was thinking of finding some herbs in the forest for Tang Peilin, whose injuries were very serious.

Since Pei Shu’er was not allowing them to survive, Mrs. Li was not going to be polite.

She snorted coldly, not daring to aim her words at the officer, but at Pei Shu’er instead.

Mrs. Li said, "Everyone, come and look at the sinister intentions of my niece-in-law, making it impossible for everyone to even rest properly after such exhaustion."

"And making everyone sleep on flat ground, with no shelter, the wind will cause the children to catch a cold, and it’s uncomfortable."

In this weather, even the night breeze isn’t cold, but rather dispels the stuffiness, yet Mrs. Li was only trying to confuse people.

Mrs. Li sneered, "I reckon Pei Shu’er wants to hunt in the forest all to herself, hence making everyone leave."

Pei Shu’er sneered, "Aunt, I think the reason you’re so angry now is because you’ve misunderstood the officer’s intentions."

Saying this, Pei Shu’er’s eyes were full of sarcasm, yet her expression was delicate and weak.

As if mocking Mrs. Li for being foolish!

Mrs. Li was infuriated by Pei Shu’er, her niece-in-law’s words were soft and gentle, yet contrary to hers in every sentence.

She looked at her with hatred.

"We don’t need to listen to Pei Shu’er, she must have some plan, don’t be fooled by her."

Others nodded repeatedly on the side: "Exactly, I saw that there’s a river in the forest, the biggest one, maybe we can catch a lot of fish."

"Moreover, I think the temperature will drop tomorrow, staying outside the dense forest, the wind will be so cold, people will catch a cold."

Pei Shu’er had done what she could, today she just incidentally saved everyone, but the main focus was to save herself and the people she cared about in the Tang Family.

Since these people wouldn’t listen, she didn’t bother to explain further.

There was still a long time before the poisonous miasma came, she could collect some resources in this dense forest and make a decent dinner.

There were also some animals in the forest, seemingly aware of the danger, running out, which delighted Pei Shu’er.

She aligned her crossbow and began shooting at the prey.

In just a quarter of an hour, she had already shot a wild rabbit and three pheasants, her eyes lit up at the sight.

The rabbit was only slightly injured, while the pheasants were killed.

She thought about keeping the rabbit in her space to raise, so she put it away.

When she went to collect the pheasants, she found a pheasant nest not far away, with dozens of pheasant eggs, judging by the number, there must have been at least ten pheasants.

But these pheasant eggs were really small, only half the size of a normal egg, yet it was enough.

She laid some wild grass at the bottom of her backpack, placed a layer of pheasant eggs, then covered it with another layer of grass, repeating this several times, she managed to fit half of the eggs in her backpack.

The rest she put in her space, to see if they could hatch into pheasants, saving the trouble of daily hunting.

Meanwhile, Yinxing and Granny Zhang had also found some wild vegetables, and under Pei Shu’er’s guidance, found a few medicinal herbs.

Seeing Pei Shu’er return, they happily went to greet her, clearly seeing the pheasants in her hand.

The pheasants had long feathers, very conspicuous.

That night, Pei Shu’er wasn’t the only one with a harvest, Mrs. Li had also unexpectedly caught a pheasant and was overjoyed.

Upon returning and seeing Pei Shu’er’s pheasants, she couldn’t help but pout.

"Since the pheasants are enough, I’ll just keep mine."

Pei Shu’er smiled, "Aunt, with so many people, how could it be enough?"

Old Madam Tang also frowned, "Cook it all, everyone’s bodies could use some nourishment."

They didn’t often catch animals, sometimes the places they traveled to were so barren, with no forests, just rocks, and no animals at all.

The pheasants looked big, but once plucked, there wasn’t much left, especially with twenty people, there would only be a few bites per person.

A rare chance to eat, with so many mouths to feed.

Mrs. Li frowned, "Yinxing and Granny Zhang shouldn’t eat, they’re just servants."

Actually, what she wanted to say was that Pei Shu’er shouldn’t eat.

But she knew, if she said that, Old Madam Tang would scold her.

Pei Shu’er chuckled softly, "I caught three pheasants after all, with Yinxing and Granny Zhang following me, I should have the right to give them some meat."

"Moreover, the wild vegetables cooking in the pot were gathered by them."

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes, "What right do servants have to sit at the table with their masters?"

Pei Shu’er laughed lightly, "We’ve been traveling for a month, Aunt, haven’t you realized yet that here, there are only exiles, no masters and servants?"
