The Herbivorous Yi Jia Beast

Chapter 38: The Herbivorous Yi Jia Beast

Seeing Zhang Fen’s embarrassed expression, Ye Jiamai cut her off directly, “We have a clay pot, but it’s cracked. You can have it.”

There was indeed a clay pot before, but Yu Haojie accidentally cracked it. They originally planned to throw it away secretly. Anyway, Yu Luo’s system had a dozen more, which was more than enough.

Thinking that everyone was in a miserable situation, Ye Jiamai generously handed the cracked clay pot to Zhang Fen.

Hearing this, Zhang Fen was overjoyed. Even though the pot was cracked, it was better than being forced by her father-in-law to borrow pots every day, right?

Holding the cracked clay pot, the family of three expressed their heartfelt gratitude before leaving.

“What are you doing? Would that thing even eat it?”

Turning around, Ye Jiamai saw Yu Luo trying to feed a small dead fish to the tiny “Beast” she had picked up.

“Mom, what does this thing even eat? It doesn’t eat meat, fish, or buns. Is it trying to starve itself to death?”

The Armor-Clad Beast, a tiny ball, was curled up in Yu Luo’s palm. Under the firelight, the scales on its body gleamed with seven colors.

Yu Haojie, who had already recovered, was ladling hot, steaming fish meat from the iron pot into bowls for his wife and daughter, leaving only a fish head and tail for himself. Most of the meat went to them.

Seeing this, Ye Jiamai skillfully picked up two pieces of fish meat from the pot and put them back into her husband’s bowl without saying a word. After being married for over twenty years, they understood each other perfectly, no words needed.

“It drank water once today but has been curling up since then. No matter what food I put near its mouth, it doesn’t react at all.”

Yu Luo looked worried at the little ball in her palm, afraid it might starve to death.

“What about grass? Maybe it’s a herbivore instead of a carnivore.”

“Huh?!”

Hearing this, Yu Luo was surprised, having never considered the possibility that the Armor-Clad Beast could be a herbivore.

“But it’s a beast! Aren’t all beasts supposed to be carnivorous?”

Remembering what she knew, Yu Luo was a bit skeptical of her mother’s suggestion.

“Just try it. If it doesn’t eat grass, maybe it needs milk. But given the current situation, where would we even find milk for it?”

Ye Jiamai glanced at the palm-sized Armor-Clad Beast, not particularly interested in it. To her, it was just a pet her daughter wanted to raise.

Yu Luo found some tender leaves and wild grass, half-heartedly placing them near the Armor-Clad Beast’s mouth. She didn’t have much hope. But unexpectedly, the Armor-Clad Beast sniffed, then crawled up from her palm and began to eat!

“It’s reacting! Mom, you were right—it really is a herbivore!”

“Why are you so excited? Don’t forget, a few hundred miles ahead, it’s already snowing. If it really is a herbivore, how are you going to feed it then? That place stays snow-covered for five months of the year—where would you find greenery?”

Yu Luo’s smile froze on her face, the excitement lasting only a few seconds before her mother’s words brought her back to reality.

“I stored a lot of cabbage, and also have greens, leeks, and radishes. I’ll try feeding it cabbage.”

Ye Jiamai shook her head, “Do what you want. Once it’s fed, eat your dinner quickly and get some rest. We still have at least fifty miles to cover tomorrow. Just thinking about the blisters on my feet makes them hurt all over again.”

Although the foot soak had eased their fatigue somewhat, sleepiness was already creeping in.

The fresh grass and leaves Yu Luo offered were quickly devoured by the Armor-Clad Beast, which then curled up in her palm and went back to sleep.

“With such a small appetite, how could I possibly not afford to feed it?”

Seeing the Armor-Clad Beast eat a little before sleeping soundly, Yu Luo smirked disdainfully.

In the middle of the night, the wind made the bonfire on the riverbank flicker. Yu Yongcai and Yu Yongjun, from the Yu family’s third branch, were still tirelessly casting nets into the river, gritting their teeth against the exhaustion.

They didn’t know if they would get another chance to stop by a river, so they were determined to catch as many fish as possible while they could.

Meanwhile, Wang Ying and her sister-in-law, along with their little sister-in-law, also worked tirelessly, gathering vines and weaving two baskets. They cleaned and processed the fish their husbands caught, enduring the cold and hunger.

By the time they finished, it was already past midnight. Exhausted, they finally collapsed by the fire and fell into a deep sleep.

At dawn, Yu Haojie was the first to wake. He found that their bonfire still had fresh firewood burning, indicating that someone had added more during the night.

Glancing at the nearby camp of the Yu family’s third branch, he knew immediately who it was.

Continuing their third day on the road to exile, the officers adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the Yu family, as long as no one broke the rules. They handed out two black buns each day and stopped at designated times. No matter how worn-out their feet were, they had to cover fifty miles every day.

For five consecutive days, they covered about three hundred miles without incident. The various branches of the Yu family got along without any more mishaps, though they were all exhausted.

On the sixth day, Yu Luo seized the opportunity. While the Yu family’s third branch was out gathering firewood, she secretly left a basket in the woods.

The basket contained some broken silver, two cotton quilts, a few sets of warm clothes, and some provisions.

When Wang Ying and her sister-in-law found the basket and brought it back, the entire third branch was so ecstatic they could hardly believe their luck!

“We don’t know who left it in the woods. I was just looking for wild eggs with Qiao’er when we stumbled upon this basket in the bushes. If she hadn’t decided to check, we never would have found it!”

Wang Ying couldn’t hide her excitement, praising her sister-in-law’s luck at every turn.

“Mom, does this mean that with these warm clothes and blankets, we won’t have to fear the cold even in the wilderness?”

Five-year-old Yu Xiaoqing beamed with delight, her young mind only grasping that her family was happy for a reason.

“Silly girl, this bit of food can only last for a while. But I heard there are plenty of wild beasts in the wilderness. As long as your father, uncle, and grandpa can hunt, we can survive.”

Full Title: The Whole Family Was Exiled After Transmigrated, Emptied the Marquis' Mansion and Lived Freely on the Road

A family of three finds themselves transmigrated as illegitimate members of a marquis’s household, living in hardship—hungry, cold, and even less fortunate than the servants. Before they can turn their fortunes around, the system warns them that they are about to have their entire household confiscated and be exiled! With a cold snort, the family of three declares, “The glory and wealth of the Marquis’s estate aren’t meant for us, but confiscation and exile we cannot avoid!” Thus, father and daughter collude from both inside and outside. Yu Haojie sets fire to the marquis’s mansion, while Yu Luo goes on a spree of “collecting” along the way! They even set another fire at the neighboring Chancellor’s mansion—and Yu Luo scales the wall to continue gathering loot! What is there to fear in a savage land? With the system in hand, Yu Luo can choose from thousands of items at will and even acquire a batch of peerless divine beasts, inadvertently becoming the wealthiest person in the wildlands. Mother Ye Jiamai is no slouch either. In her past life, she was an outstanding physician; her very first clinic sprang up overnight, attracting favor from various factions. “In my past life, I earned money while you all spent it; in this life, your father only wants to be a home cook!” Yu Haojie grins goofily, then silently mobilizes troops—disappearing only to have his daughter and daughter-in-law recapture a city for the family! One day, the once-cold former crown prince of the previous dynasty, finally vindicated and returning to the capital, pulls Yu Luo into his arms before departing. “Luo Luo, if you marry me, I will offer you my kingdom as a dowry.”
