After putting on a thick cotton-padded jacket, Great-aunt went out and saw Mu Yangling fiddling with a mousetrap. She asked, “Are you going into the mountains?”

“I’m going into the mountains to set up a few traps.” Mu Yangling placed the things in the basket on her back and picked up a machete and a bundle of ropes to carry. She stood up and said, “Since there’s no work to do in the winter, I’ll go get some firewood after setting up the traps.”

On the day of the winter solstice, the Mu family moved into the new house. Mu Yangling now had a room of her own, and likewise for Bowen. Xiuhong and Xiulan had originally stayed in separate rooms, but it had been too cold for the past two days, so they stayed in the same room again. However, this meant that they had to burn twice as much firewood as before, so the firewood they had prepared previously was a little insufficient.

For the past few days, Xiuhong had brought Xiulan and Bowen to the foot of the mountain to pick firewood with the children in the village. However, two days ago, a wild boar ran out of the mountain and almost injured the children. It was only because there were adults nearby who threw stones to chase the wild boar away that the children were saved.

However, Mu Yangling did not allow them to gather firewood anymore.

The weather this winter was a little abnormal, and the wild beasts in the mountains were restless. Who knew what would run out of the mountains next time?

Mu Yangling was about to carry her things out when Old Man Sun rolled up his sleeves and came to look for her. When he bumped into her, he hurriedly asked, “Ah Ling, are you going into the mountains?”

Mu Yangling nodded. “Grandpa Sun, what’s the matter?”

“Something’s up. Didn’t the wild boar go down the mountain two days ago? I heard that someone in the neighboring village was killed by the wild boar coming down the mountain.” Frowning, Old Man Sun said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with the heavens. It’s been almost a month since the winter solstice, but there hasn’t been a single snowfall. The mountains aren’t peaceful either. The weather is getting colder and colder every day and everyone doesn’t have enough firewood. If this continues, people won’t starve to death. Instead, they’ll die of cold.”

When Great-aunt heard this from the courtyard, she walked out with a handful of green onions and leaned against the wall. “Big Brother Sun, if there’s anything, just say it. You don’t have to preface the topic with such stuff to hold my Ah Ling hostage. No matter what you ask her to do, don’t expect our Mu family to suffer a loss.”

“Yes, yes. How can we let you guys suffer?” Smiling, Old Man Sun said, “Isn’t Ah Ling the only one in the village who knows how to hunt and set up traps? That’s why I want to ask Ah Ling to set up some traps in the periphery of the mountain. This way, we won’t be afraid of big prey breaking out. Everyone can be at ease and cut some firewood in the periphery. Of course, since you’re providing the labor for the village, the prey in the traps will still go to Ah Ling. What do you think?”

Great-aunt looked at Mu Yangling and asked, “Considering it’s not hard to set up traps for hunting, everyone can master it after watching it a few times. Will you secretly learn Ah Ling’s skills?”
