Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Just a dozen traps made last night.

When I went to check this morning, I found that everyone had trapped rabbits. You can imagine how many wild rabbits there are on this mountain.

And it's not just rabbits, there are also batches of pheasants and sparrows.

The chickens at home have started hatching eggs, and these pheasants will be dead if they are trapped.

Xu Wenyan stood in the yard, feeling distressed when he saw the vegetable garden being eaten by pheasants and rabbits. It turned out that surviving in the wild was not that easy.

Chen Sanlin simply hid on a tree beside the vegetable garden with a bow and arrow, shooting each one he came. There was nothing else he could do.

Besides him, the others also took turns to guard.

The task of skinning the rabbit was given to Xiaohu, and Xu Wenyan also began to sew yesterday's rabbit skin.

These days, the whole family is getting tired of eating meat. It's really meat for every meal, and there is not much pepper. Xu Wenyan can only roast it, which makes it less fishy.

But you said that you will never like eating meat again, but that’s impossible. If I don’t eat it for two days, I will miss it again.

In the end, it turned out that Chen Sanlin's archery skills were too accurate, and this kind of small prey would not survive if it was hit by an arrow even if it ran away.

Over time, these animals dared not approach the shelter, but there were not many vegetables left in the fields. Basically, they were eaten for one or two meals, and the rest were left for breeding.

The vegetables I planted this year can be said to be in vain.

As for the rice harvest, it was not satisfactory. Two large terraced fields could only fill three small cloth bags.

It would be a lie to say that I have no worries.

"Brother Chen, come with me to the opposite mountain." Xu Wenyan put down the blanket made of rabbit skin in his hand.

I made two blankets like this one.

One big and one small.

The small one was given to Rongrong and Xiaohua.

Chen Sanlin put down the axe in his hand and responded.

"Come up." Chen Sanlin squatted down and put the backpack in front of him.

Because it had rained for several days in a row and autumn was approaching, the water level in the creek increased instead of decreased. Even Chen Sanlin was submerged up to his knees.

This can no longer be called a stream, it's a river.

Xu Wenyan didn't hesitate and jumped directly onto his back. It's better for one person to get his feet wet than two.

Come to think of it, this is the time that Chen Sanlin has carried me on his back many times. Even though he is a little bigger in stature, he is really careful when doing things.

The two crossed the river at noon and walked towards the opposite hillside. In the summer, Xu Wenyan discovered many red beans and black beans here.

After walking for almost an hour, I could see in front of me a slender stem with lanceolate stipules and long pods growing all over the top.

Adzuki beans and black beans are annual herbs of the genus Vigna in the Fabaceae family. They have yellow flowers and are rare wild beans.

Although the beans are small, they can be harvested in large quantities.

"Brother Chen, that's it, start picking." Xu Wenyan called a few times and found that Chen Sanlin ignored him: "Brother Chen?"

Xu Wenyan turned his head and looked at Chen Sanlin. He seemed to be staring at the beans in a daze, so he simply walked over and pulled his.

"Well, pick it."

This person was talking and laughing with him just now, but now he has become a different person. Although Xu Wenyan felt a little puzzled, he didn't care too much.

Xu Wenyan took a long stick and knocked on the grass within a radius of seven or eight meters. He didn't want to win the prize.

The two of them picked the beans carefully. Some of the pods had already begun to burst. If they picked too hard, the small beans inside would fly everywhere. It was really a waste of time.

We picked them all the way up from the mountainside. The beans reproduce very quickly, growing one piece at a time. After picking one piece, you can see the next one.

Because the rice harvest is poor this year, these red beans can be used as a staple food.

It took nearly two hours of picking before the backpack was filled with several cloth bags, and light rain began to fall from the sky.

"Wen Yan, go back."

"it is good."

Without much delay, the two quickly walked down the mountain. However, the rain was so strange that just as they were about to retreat, the drizzle turned into moderate rain, and then from moderate rain to heavy rain.

The whole process took only a few minutes.

Xu Wenyan was a little panicked. This might be the heaviest rain in recent days. The ones that fell a few days ago were all plum rains. The rain was not heavy at a time, but it lasted for a long time.

I thought it would be the same this time, but I didn’t expect it to snow so heavily.

"Brother Chen, we can't go down the mountain. Let's find a place to take shelter." It would take at least two hours to walk down the mountain now. With such heavy rain, the ground is muddy and one would roll down if not careful.

And if there is a landslide along the way, it will be the end of us.

Xu Wenyan stood still in the heavy rain, looking around. He remembered that there was a small cave here.

"This way, Brother Chen."

The big raindrops hit their faces, greatly obstructing their vision. The rain under their feet kept flowing down the slope of the mountain, and it felt like they were walking in water.

After walking sideways for a few minutes, the two came to a small cave. In fact, it was called a cave, but its depth was only more than two meters, and rainwater could still flow to the edge of the cave.

"It's so unlucky that I have to encounter the second rainstorm this year." Xu Wenyan put down the backpack and began to squeeze the water out of his sleeves.

Chen Sanlin took off his shirt directly, twisted it hard, then went to Xu Wenyan and wiped his hair with his clothes.

The rain wet Chen Sanlin's hair. The rain flowed from his eyebrows to his chin, then from his chin to his neck, and then slid down from his neck, passing his chest.

Looking at the person with the best figure in front of him, Xu Wenyan was distracted for a moment.

Chen Sanlin just smiled, without stopping his hand movements: "If you look again, you will be responsible for me."

Hearing this, Xu Wenyan coughed twice and retracted his gangster-like gaze.

"Take off your clothes and wring them dry before putting them on," Chen Sanlin reminded.

"it is good."

They both took off their clothes and pants, leaving water stains all over their bodies. They would definitely catch a cold tomorrow. Just when Xu Wenyan was about to put on his clothes, Chen Sanlin hugged him from the front.

"Brother Chen, stop it." Xu Wenyan was in his arms, ready to push him away.

Chen Sanlin just rubbed his body with his hands: "To warm you up, you will get sick tomorrow if you get wet in the rain like this."

Feeling the warmth from the man's body, Xu Wenyan did not refuse anymore because he was shivering with cold at the moment.

Chen Sanlin had no better idea and could only hold her tighter.

"Brother Chen, what were you thinking about when we first went up the mountain?" Now that everything was fine, Xu Wenyan remembered what had happened just now.

Chen Sanlin paused, lowered his head and whispered in Xu Wenyan's ear: "Do you care about me?"

"what."

Xu Wenyan pinched his waist, causing him pain.

"fine."

Chen Sanlin's eyes darkened, and he dropped his head on Xu Wenyan's shoulder: "I know what we picked today is red beans.

When I was nine years old, there was a famine and no one in the village had anything to eat. I almost starved to death that year. In the end, my mother had a fight with my father over a handful of red beans.

That was the first time I saw her angry, and it was only because my mother desperately snatched a handful of red beans for me that I came back to life. "

At this point, Chen Sanlin sighed heavily, "In fact, I know that I envy my eldest brother very much. During the famine that year, everyone in the village was hungry, but he was the only one who had enough to eat.

Every grain of rice and every drop of water in the house was given to my eldest brother by my father and grandparents. At that time, I was even thinner than when you first came to our family.

My mother got sick from that year. She only had a small bowl of porridge every day, and she would share some with me. She was such a big person...but she only ate that little.

But at that time, I was useless, I couldn’t give my mother food…”

Xu Wenyan felt the gentle liquid flowing over his shoulders, and his heart was trembling slightly. He held the crying child in his arms, patting him gently to comfort him.

Although the original incarnation had also experienced famine, Xu Fu at least kept a frown on his face as the original incarnation gave him a bite to eat.

The choked voice sounded again: "In fact, I envy my eldest brother very much, but I also hate him. When Xiaohua and Xiaodong first came, I even wanted to throw them into the mountains and throw them away...Wen Yan, am I really a bad person?"

Xu Wenyan patted his hand lightly and said sternly, "Bullshit, you are the kindest person I have ever met, at least you are much kinder than me. This is all your shitty father's fault! Don't put the blame on yourself."

He pushed Chen Sanlin with his shoulder: "Do you know?"

Feeling the man nod at his shoulder, Xu Wenyan frowned. This man usually doesn't talk, so he must be really lacking in love.

Children from native families are all pitiful people, myself and him too.

Xu Wenyan's hand slowly moved up and gently stroked Chen Sanlin's head: "From now on, Brother Xu will protect you. If anyone bullies you, tell Brother Xu and I'll beat him up."

Chen Sanlin was amused by Xu Wenyan, and besides his slightly red eyes, the corners of his mouth were also slightly smiling.

"it is good."

He raised his head and looked at Xu Wenyan: "Wife, I have only told you."

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Yes."

Seeing Chen Sanlin's still aggrieved expression, Xu Wenyan comforted him: "What's wrong?"

"Then I want to stop you from revealing the secret. I'm going to block your mouth."

Xu Wenyan looked puzzled: "How to block it... Um... Chen Sanlin... You piece of shit!"
