I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

Chapter 9: Why Didn’t You Go Back?

Ji Zhao rolled up her sleeves and prepared to clean up the temple first.

She caught a glimpse of the broom leaning against the corner of the wall and was very excited.

First, she used a broom to clean the dust and spider webs in every corner of the temple. Then, he got half a bucket of water and cleaned the entire temple.

After working for three hours, Ji Zhao finally had time to rest.

“I’ll get some more straw later. I can make do here tonight.” Ji Zhao clapped her hands and said with a smile.

Rumble rumble-

A sound suddenly came from her organs. Only then did Ji Zhao realize that she had only eaten two sweet potatoes since last night.

Ji Zhao dragged her tired body out of the Earth Temple.

After walking 1 to 1.5 kilometers east, her gaze was attracted by a touch of emerald green.

It was cherries!

Overjoyed, Ji Zhao quickly plucked a small pink fruit and threw it into her mouth. The juice was abundant and sweet.

Ji Zhao tore off the edge of her skirt without hesitation and made a simple cloth bag. Then, she placed all the cherries she had picked inside.

It was just that eating cherries alone was not enough to fill her stomach. If only she could find more food, Ji Zhao thought.

She took two more steps forward. The moonlight in the corner of her eye unintentionally caught a glimpse of light brown, and she hurried forward.

Ji Zhao almost burst out laughing!

She carefully picked up the five wild eggs. Ji Zhao thought for a moment and prepared to return to the Earth Temple to rest.

At that moment, Zhao Lanhua, who was digging for yams on the mountain, saw the peach-colored silhouette in the distance and frowned in confusion.

That figure seemed to be Ji Ah Tao?

“Lanhua, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?” Sister Guihua, who was digging for yams, asked curiously when she saw her stop.

“No, nothing.”

“Hurry up and dig! We’re really too lucky today. There’s so much yam that we can eat for two days!” Sister Guihua said happily.

“Okay.” Zhao Lanhua came back to her senses and squatted back on the ground to continue digging for yams.

Ji Zhao returned to the Earth Temple and grabbed a handful of cherries before placing them in front of the statue of the Earth God.

“I’m really tired today,” Ji Zhao explained softly. “Eat some cherries first. I’ll cook wild eggs for you later.”

The statue of the Earth Lord sat on the shrine platform, looking benevolent.

After resting for a while, Ji Zhao bowed and walked out of the temple.

The prerequisite for cooking was a fire.

Ji Zhao found some dried branches nearby and simply piled them up.

She did not have any flint with her, so she could only use the most primitive method-

Drill wood to start a fire.

Unfortunately, after several attempts, she failed.

At this moment, Ji Zhao was a little discouraged.

She looked at the wild egg lying quietly on the ground and swallowed her saliva.

“Try again! I can definitely do it!”

This time, as expected, she failed again.

“Let me help you.” Just as Ji Zhao was holding her chin with both hands and doubting her life, a navy blue figure barged into her line of sight.

“Shen Yao? Why are you here?”

Shen Yao glanced at her, then took out a flint from his pocket and easily lit the firewood piled in front of the temple.

“Thank you so much!” Ji Zhao thanked him from the bottom of her heart. Then, she placed the packed eggs into the old iron pot on the firewood.

Shen Yao looked around and finally looked at Ji Zhao. “Why didn’t you go back to Pomegranate Village?”
