Ji Yinghuai sighed, tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes and wrapped the rabbit's right leg in a few seconds.

Seeing that the wound was no longer bleeding, he put the rabbit on the ground and said, "Forget it, let's go. It's not easy for you to survive the winter. If I catch you again next time, I will really stew you."

If it was just an ordinary female rabbit, he would have caught it, but it happened to be pregnant with baby rabbits. Killing is not cruel, so let it live.

The female rabbit was put back on the ground and immediately limped towards the grass.

Ji Yinghuai withdrew his gaze and looked forward for other prey.

Jiang Shian felt that he was very lucky, as several of the herbs he dug were exactly the same as the herbal illustrations in the medical book that Doctor Wang gave him.

A few of them should be able to sell for 100 or 200 coins. This money is saved bit by bit. If you dig a few more, you can save up 1 or 2 taels...

In addition to medicinal herbs, when An sees beautiful flowering ginger, he will also dig up a few plants, whether to plant them in the yard or take them to town to sell.

The fun of looking for herbs is that you are always looking forward to what the next herb you dig up will be. You always think that the next one will be more valuable, so you don't feel tired when you are busy.

Soon, the sun came out completely, hanging dazzlingly in the sky.

There was no wind in the forest. Although the dense woods blocked the sun, it made people feel a little stuffy.

Jiang Shian wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. At least two hours have passed. How is Ji Yinghuai doing? Did he successfully hunt prey?

At this time, a breeze blew through the mountains.

He immediately let out a long sigh of relief, then found a spot on the green grass to sit down, rest for a while, and then continued looking.

The cakes wrapped in cloth in the backpack were still warm. Jiang Shian took one and looked around while chewing it.

He baked the pancake with lard and added eggs, making it very soft.

As I looked up at the huge tree that blocked out the sun above my head, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps trampling leaves in front of me.

Jiang Shian thought it was Ji Yinghuai who came back, so he stood up in surprise and looked in the direction of the voice.

But when he saw clearly who was coming, he curled his lips with a look of disappointment and sat back on the ground to continue eating his biscuit.

He was too lazy to respond. When the other party saw him, his expression changed and he spoke less politely: "Hey, isn't this Young Master Jiang? I heard that you opened a shop in town, but you failed and came back to the mountains."

The tone was sour and sarcastic, and you knew who it was the moment you heard it.

Jiang Shian didn't even bother to pay attention to the person who was coming. He turned around and faced the person with his back.

It was strange today that there was only one person named Song. But that was good, as it saved him the trouble of being polite and greeting people.

Seeing that Jiang Shian was once again ignoring him, Song Shu's face turned red and blue, and he walked quickly to where Jiang Shian was sitting.

Song Shu stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Shian's back, hoping to make him lie on the ground in disgrace. The other party's ignorance during these two meetings allowed him to vent his anger.

But Jiang Shian seemed to have eyes on his back. When his hand was about to touch his back, Jiang Shian suddenly bent down, leaving Song Shu empty-handed.

He moved to the side swiftly and stood up.

Song Shu was caught off guard by his sudden movement and was unable to react. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Shian looked down at the slightly embarrassed young man in front of him with amusement, and said helplessly: "I'm just boring you. We are not familiar with each other. Please don't bother me all the time, okay?"

They had only met twice, and this guy was like a psychopath.

Song Shu raised his head and glared at him angrily, it was hard to tell whether it was jealousy or pure malice in his eyes.

With that impatient and totally indifferent attitude again, Song Shu glared fiercely at Jiang Shian's back.

Why did the other party let Brother Chen Ji rush to show his goodwill as soon as he arrived? Not only that, he also praised Jiang Shian everywhere, saying that he was not only good-looking but also cooked delicious food. He looked completely different from those arrogant and domineering young masters of merchants in the town.

When he first heard it, he felt a little jealous but didn't care. He was just a young master from the city, who didn't know anything and could cook? He probably couldn't even use a spatula in the kitchen. Only Brother Chen Ji was dazzled for a moment and said that it must be the work done by the man in his family.

This was only installed by Jiang Shi, just to gain a good reputation and propose marriage in their village.

It was not until that day by the river when he saw the other person for the first time that his jealousy instantly turned into hatred.

Jiang Shian felt annoyed when he saw Song Shu's angry face. He was too lazy to deal with it. He bit the biscuit in his mouth, picked up the backpack beside him with one hand, put it on his back and walked away.

He should go to another place to continue looking for herbs. This guy is so weird, he should not be unlucky for no reason.

It’s not like he hadn’t been subjected to unwarranted malicious attacks before. In college, he was inexplicably voted the school’s most handsome guy because of a photo he secretly took in the cafeteria.

There were both male and female students who would often stand at the door of the classroom or in the cafeteria to block his way. Some of them would say something harsh, calling him a sissy and saying that he was not like a man.

The second oldest in the dormitory had a bad temper. When he heard someone talking, he raised his fist and punched them.

Later, few people dared to say these words in front of him. As for what happened behind his back, he was too lazy to pay attention and didn't care.

After walking for a while, fortunately the person behind me didn't continue to bother me.

Jiang Shian then focused his attention on the herbs in front of him.

Green triangular leaves with small purple flowers. The herb is called Viola yedoensis. It is used to clear away heat and detoxify, dry dampness and cool the blood. This herb is especially abundant in the mountains and is often used to treat snake bites.

This medicine is commonly used in drugstores. He would dig some home and dry them, and then sell them for a lot of copper coins in town.

"Have you dug so much?" A familiar male voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Jiang Shian was startled. He patted his chest and turned his head to look back.

The rabbit in Ji Yinghuai's hand kept kicking its legs. He put the rabbit into the backpack and praised with a smile: "The backpack is almost full, Shi An is really amazing!"

"Why are you walking so silently? You scared me." Jiang Shi'an sat down on the ground and reached into the backpack.

There were three rabbits, two big ones and one small one, and their legs were strung together with a strip of cloth.

Ji Yinghuai sat down next to him.

Jiang Shian handed him the cloth-wrapped cake and looked behind Ji Yinghuai. After a while, he asked suspiciously, "You said you are a great hunter, but you only caught three rabbits?"

At that time, the man was so proud of himself that he thought the man was going to kill a tiger and carry it down for him.

Ji Yinghuai coughed awkwardly. He was a good hunter and had never failed to catch a ferocious beast. But after walking around the mountain for a long time, he didn't see any animals except rabbits.

Moreover, this was only their second time going up the mountain, and he was still a little worried about the young man being alone, so he wanted to come out and take a look.

Although he was thinking about it, he didn't want to lose face in front of Jiang Shian, so he said, "They have dug several hunting pits. I'll go check them out later. I'm sure I'll catch a big one."

"Oh!" Jiang Shian glanced at him suspiciously.

The tone didn't sound very convincing.

Ji Yinghuai suddenly felt that the pancake in his hand no longer smelled good.

Jiang Shian stood up and brushed off the dirt on his butt, then picked up the hoe and continued digging the herbs he hadn't finished digging. "Oh, there's still some water in the backpack."

I estimated the time by looking at the sun in the sky. It was probably almost eleven o'clock. I had breakfast before coming here, so I wasn't hungry yet. I thought I could dig for another two hours.

Ji Yinghuai ate the cake and drank two sips of water. Seeing Jiang Shian busy, he walked back into the woods.

He just doesn't believe that all the animals in this mountain have been hunted?

-

The backpack was filled to the brim, and he took off his jacket and filled it with wild fruits.

There was a sound in the woods again.

Jiang Shian raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound. It sounded like something was howling, and the noise was quite loud.

Could it be that Ji Er had really hunted some big prey? He walked over following the sound.

After passing through the dense bushes and pulling aside the half-man-high weeds in front of me, a slightly empty lawn suddenly appeared in front of me.

The man in front of me was holding a calf-high yellow-brown wild boar. It looked young, and its fangs hadn't grown out yet. It looked a bit like a domestic pig, except for its fur color.

Jiang Shian didn't care about anything else. He put the backpack on the ground and trotted over, asking in surprise, "You really hunted a wild boar?"
