"I'm fine, sister-in-law," Xu Yan spoke up in time to stop Li Aihua before she licked her lips dryly and continued speaking.

Then he took her into the house.

Most of the people gathered at the gate had already left, only a few were standing in small groups and continuing to chat.

Someone saw Xu Yan enter the yard and whispered a few words to him.

"Xie Zhuo is not at home?" After this period of time, Li Aihua rarely called Xie Zhuo "Xie Lao San" anymore.

At this time, she looked around the yard and didn't hear anyone in the house, so she asked.

"He went out with Liu Mancang and the others," Xu Yan took a clean enamel pot and poured a cup of tea for Li Aihua, "He probably won't be back until noon."

Li Aihua sat on a stool in the main room. After taking the enamel pot and drinking a sip of water, she looked at Xu Yan as if she had thought of something.

"Hmm?" Xu Yan was a little surprised by her gaze. After sitting down, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Has Xie Zhuo been using any facial oil recently?" Li Aihua asked.

"Ah?" Xu Yan didn't understand.

"Haven't you noticed that he's getting more and more handsome lately?" Li Aihua asked.

"...Is there?" Xu Yan also poured himself a cup of tea.

"Of course everyone in the team has noticed it," said Li Aihua. "He used to be taller and stronger, but not very good-looking. But now his face has become more handsome."

Xu Yan paused while drinking water.

Become more handsome?

"That's right. You didn't see it. The day before yesterday when I went to have dinner with Xiao Shuanzi, he happened to be going to look for your Dabao and Xiaobao. Several girls from the team passed by him and their faces turned red," said Li Aihua.

Xu Yan really didn’t know.

Ever since she first met Xie Zhuo, she thought he was very handsome, especially his face. When he was not smiling, he looked very cold, but when he smiled, there was an indescribable gentleness in him.

At that time, she felt strange as to why everyone thought Han Xiaoyu was handsome but had no feelings for Xie Zhuo.

I thought it was just that the aesthetics of this world were different.

Now it seems……

Xu Yan was a little distracted again.

It was only when Li Aihua waved her hands in front of her again that she suddenly came to her senses.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Aihua looked a little worried. "Xie Zhuo didn't even look at them that day. He just took Dabao and the others home."

Li Aihua thought Xu Yan was jealous of what she said, and felt a little regretful for a moment.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said anything.

Originally, nothing was going on between the couple, but she caused trouble after they got involved.

"Yeah," Xu Yan nodded casually, "I know he won't do anything to let me down."

"That's right. After all, it's not easy to marry such a beautiful wife like you," said Li Aihua.

Xu Yan was amused by her words.

"Really," Li Aihua said, "It's a great honor for the Xie family to marry you!"

"What kind of life did Xie Zhuo live before he married you? What kind of life is he living now? Even though the villagers always gossip about him behind his back, they are actually envious."

Xu Yan laughed for a long time, then slowly stopped, looked at Li Aihua and asked, "Sister-in-law, you just said that Xie Zhuo has become more handsome, so what did he look like before?"

"Before?" Li Aihua frowned.

She thought about it carefully for a long time, then shook her head in confusion, "I can't remember it, it was just very ordinary, not as pretty as it is now."

Hearing her words, Xu Yan felt a strange feeling in his heart again.

The confusion and bewilderment she had felt before made her feel a little uneasy again.

"Hey," Li Aihua slapped her hand on the table, "My memory has not been very good recently. I keep forgetting things. Anyway, he is not the same as before."

Xu Yan sat there without moving until Li Aihua left.

Before Xie Zhuo, Liu Mancang and Zhao Jisheng entered the mountain, they saw several small paths trampled out around them.

"Damn, how many times did I run in there?" Liu Mancang kicked the trampled grass a few times.

"I've done it at least 30 or 40 times," Zhao Jisheng said. "One night when I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw someone running towards me with a flashlight."

"What do you think they are looking for?" Liu Mancang asked.

"How would I know?" Zhao Jisheng pulled up a few wild vegetables as he walked, shook off the dirt and threw them into the backpack. "Anyway, we're not here to hunt."

"Isn't that nonsense?" Liu Mancang said with a click of his tongue. "Hunting doesn't make such a big noise. It feels like you're looking for something."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Xie Zhuo, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "What do you think, Third Brother?"

"Find a way to make a fortune," Xie Zhuo retracted his gaze and glanced at his face.

"Ah?" Liu Mancang didn't understand. "What road to wealth? The most valuable thing in this mountain is the prey inside."

Yes.

Xie Zhuo used to think so too.

But Xu Yan dug up a hundred-year-old wild ginseng here.

In fact, Xie Zhuo really wanted to ask her that day why she suddenly had the urge to run to the mountains to look for ginseng.

Even in her previous life, she was long gone before Han Xiaoyu found the wild ginseng, so it was impossible for her to know that something could be dug up in the mountains.

But at that time, the two of them were not that close, and there were some things he didn't dare to ask. Now, they are basically stuck together on intimate nights, but he never has the chance to ask.

The three men kept talking and cursing Wang Chao. After walking a few more steps, they reached the deep mountains, but when they didn't even see a rabbit, Liu Mancang couldn't help cursing a few more times.

"That idiot Wang Chao is probably crazy!" Liu Mancang cursed angrily as he looked at the crushed mushrooms all over the ground.

I had originally wanted to take advantage of today's outing with my third brother to catch some wild animals and sell them in the city. But now, let alone wild animals, even the grass on the ground has been almost flattened.

"I guess we'll be empty-handed today," Zhao Jisheng also frowned.

Although Xie Zhuo knew why they went up the mountain, he frowned when he saw the place being ruined like this.

"What should we do now? Should we go to Beishan?" Liu Mancang asked.

"It's too far over there," Xie Zhuo replied without thinking, "I have to rush back at noon."

The three of them wandered around in the mountains for most of the day, and finally only found a wild bayberry tree. I don’t know if it’s because the bayberries ripen late in the mountains, so they are just right to be eaten now.

Liu Mancang picked one and put it in his mouth with the mentality of testing poison. Unexpectedly, it was not only not sour but also very sweet.

"Not bad, I got something out of it," Xie Zhuo also put one in his mouth.

The sweet juice of bayberry quickly explodes in the mouth, bringing with it a unique aroma of bayberry.

The three of them quickly picked all the ripe bayberries from the tree and put them into their backpacks. Then, as they walked out, they picked a few mushrooms that had been hidden and not stepped on and put them into the backpacks.

"Come over early after lunch," Xie Zhuo glanced at Liu Mancang and Zhao Jisheng and said, "Let's go for a walk in Beishan."

"Really?" Liu Mancang's eyes lit up instantly.
