The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 188 The Last Journey into the Mountains

After returning home, Fu Jingyi told Qi Xuan that he and his elder brother would go to the mountain again the next day, which would also be the last time they would go to the mountain this year.

"What are you going to do in such cold weather?" Qi Xuan was a little worried.

"It's okay. There are still some cotton-padded clothes and quilts in the cave before. We can also make a fire." Fu Jingyi said, "Let's go see if there are any medicinal herbs, or goats or deer."

Qi Xuan knew that they had already decided on this matter, and no matter what he said, it would be useless. "Rescue him in two days?"

"Well, I'll be back in two days." Fu Jingyi assured him. Qi Xuan wrinkled his nose, "I'll make some meat patties for you tomorrow morning. You must bring them with you." He didn't wait for Fu Jingyi to refute.

There were also pickled cabbage dumplings to eat in the evening, so there was no need to rush to prepare dinner. Lin Chen had already gone back to his room to rest, and Qi Xuan also lazily lay on the bed and didn't want to move. Zhaocai had already fallen asleep beside him, and he didn't know if he was dreaming about dried fish, and he was smacking his lips. Qi Xuan thought it was funny and pulled its whiskers.

The next day, Qi Xuan got up early and started making meat patties for Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng. While doing so, he muttered, "Is there any way to bring them some hot water to drink? It's so annoying. How can they drink cold water in the middle of winter?" As he spoke, he even said to himself that he was angry.

He threw the dough heavily onto the chopping board, splashing a lot of flour and choking himself. When Fu Jingyi came out, he heard Qi Xuan coughing all the time, and thought he was sick, so he walked over quickly.

"Xiao Xuan, what's wrong?" But what he saw was Qi Xuan with a face full of flour and anger. Fu Jingyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, took a clean cloth and went forward to wipe his face, "What's wrong with you? You made yourself look ugly in just a short while."

Qi Xuan was a little embarrassed to say it out loud. He couldn't say that he was angry and threw noodles, which made him look like this. "I just... oh, I won't say it anymore."

He continued to make meat patties, and Fu Jingyi was watching him. "Why are you looking at me? It will take a while. Go to sleep. And wear something thicker. By the way, do you have hot water to drink? Is there a pot in the cave? Bring one to boil water. I'll bring you two water bags later."

Qi Xuan kept talking non-stop, and Fu Jingyi listened with a smile on his face. Qi Xuan talked for a long time without seeing any response, so he looked up. At this time, the man came over and kissed the corner of his lips gently. Fu Jingyi said softly, "Okay, don't worry, this is not the first time I go up the mountain in winter."

"No, that won't work. I wasn't there before, but I'm here now. I'm worried." Qi Xuan was really worried. He wasn't worried about some ferocious beasts, but he thought they would be cold. If there wasn't a charcoal brazier burning in the house, it would be so cold that people would shiver, let alone a cave.

After the meat patties were made, Qi Xuan left a few for him and Lin Chen, and wrapped the rest in oil paper and then a layer of cotton cloth. Reebok was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to this man and her eldest brother, so she wanted to put a few hand warmers on the cotton cloth to keep the meat patties warm.

"It's okay if it's cold, we'll warm ourselves up by the fire at night, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself." Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan promised. At this time, Qi Zheng also came, and Lin Chen couldn't help but give him some instructions. The two of them watched Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng leave for the mountain reluctantly, and only returned to the house when they could no longer see their figures.

Afraid that he and Lin Chen would have idle thoughts, Qi Xuan took the initiative to say, "Xiao Chen, after breakfast, I'll help you draw the pattern. Do you want to go to Jinxiu Pavilion to take a look in the next two days?"

Lin Chen shook his head. "I have an agreement with Manager Li that he will come to deliver the account books to me on the first and fifteenth day of every month. The weather is too cold, and he doesn't want us to run around all the time."

Qi Xuan was grateful to Manager Li from the bottom of his heart, "Xiao Chen, how about we go to the town after the beginning of next spring and buy a small house for Manager Li to live in. He can help us take care of the house. This will save him from having to live in Jinxiu Pavilion every day, which is not a long-term problem."

Lin Chen had thought about this before. If something happened and he couldn't come back, at least he would have a place to stay. "Okay, then wait until... after Xiaoyue and I get married." He said this with some embarrassment.

"Speaking of this, how is the sewing of your wedding dress going?" Qi Xuan thought of this when he mentioned their marriage.

Lin Chen took a bite of the meat pie and said, "It's almost done. I've already started embroidering Xiaoyue's dress. I have to wait until I finish embroidering his dress."

Qi Xuan spread his hands and said, "I can't help you with this even if I want to. I can only encourage you in other ways." After saying that, he took out two cans of yogurt from a basket that had been placed on the table.

"Wow, brother, you are so nice." When Lin Chen saw the yogurt, he didn't even eat the meat pie, and he wanted to grab it. "Go wash your hands first, they are all greasy, I'll open it for you." Qi Xuan pushed him to explain in detail, and he unscrewed the yogurt bottle for him.

Lin Chen drank it in small sips, "Brother, I was still drinking yogurt in my dream a few days ago, and you brought it to me right now, hehe, that's great."

After eating and drinking, the two brothers went to the small study to draw the patterns. After a while, they no longer worried about the two people going up the mountain.

As for Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng, they didn't encounter any prey on the way up the mountain. Sure enough, they all hid to prepare for the winter. They walked to the place where they had dug ginseng before and found two that were not too big. After discussing it, they decided to dig them out. After all, before going up the mountain this time, Grandpa Zhang also said that he would take them no matter how big or small.

After digging it out, it was carefully placed in Qi Zheng's backpack. Why Qi Zheng's backpack? Because Fu Jingyi had a loving meat pie made by her husband, which might still be warm.

After walking up the mountain for a while, they still found nothing. It was getting dark. Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng returned to the cave, built a fire, roasted meat patties and ate them directly, not caring whether there was water or not. After eating, they took turns to rest, one guarding the first half of the night and the other guarding the second half of the night.

The next morning, the two of them ate two cold pancakes and continued to look for prey in the mountains, but they didn't dare to tell Qi Xuan and Lin Chen about eating cold pancakes. They were lucky this morning and hunted a few wild rabbits that hadn't had time to hide, and also found a goat. Fu Jingyi even found two foxes.

Fox fur is very popular among the rich, and these two foxes can be sold for a lot of money. After hunting these, the two did not stay any longer, and went down the mountain after a rest.

Qi Xuan and Lin Chen were also waiting in the yard early in the morning, looking out from time to time, hoping that they would come back soon. Seeing someone coming from afar, Qi Xuan looked carefully and saw that it was really them! So he and Lin Chen ran over to pick them up, and they were happy to see that they returned with a full load.

Fu Jingyi asked them if they wanted a fox scarf, and Qi Xuan and Lin Chen shook their heads. When they returned home, Fu Jingyi kept the hare and the goat, and gave the fox to Qi Zheng.

Qi Zheng didn't say anything, just patted Fu Jingyi on the shoulder. The two foxes together could be sold for at least one or two thousand taels, but Fu Jingyi just gave them all to him. Lin Chen wanted to say something to Qi Xuan, but was stopped by Qi Xuan, who said softly, "Okay, let's not get involved in their affairs. Besides, you and your elder brother will have to support your family in the future, so it won't hurt to save more money. Don't you know how much money your brother has?" Lin Chen said no more and looked at Qi Xuan gratefully.
