A few days passed in such an uneventful manner, and eight days had passed since Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu went up the mountain.

During these eight days, the meat rabbits that Xu Congyi bought from the space gave birth to a litter of eight baby rabbits, which made the Xu family very happy. Now there were ten rabbits in the family. Li Dahua instructed her two sons to build a simple rabbit nest with bricks and stones, put the male rabbit in it, and removed the partitions of the original nest, leaving it all to the female rabbit and the baby rabbits.

Now that she has these rabbits, Xu Congyi has no plans to raise more. It's not that she has never thought about making rabbit meat delicacies, but she is not sure whether there are seasonings such as chili peppers and peppercorns in this dynasty. If there are no seasonings, these rabbits will not have any attractive selling points. It would be better to raise them for herself to eat and supplement her nutrition.

The rabbits that Xu Congyi bought from the space don't dig holes, which is also good. At the beginning, Old Man Xu was worried that the rabbits would dig holes and run away, so when he left, he told everyone to keep an eye on the two rabbits. These rabbits were bought by Xu Congyi, and she naturally knew that this kind of meat rabbit would not dig holes, but the Xu family didn't know, and they checked from time to time. Until now, when the rabbits were born, the two rabbits had no intention of digging holes and running away, so they were relieved.

After settling the rabbits, Li Dahua always counted the days on her fingers. It had been eight days. She didn't know how her husband and father-in-law were doing in the mountains. Although being a hunter made money, it was very dangerous. Injuries were common, and in serious cases, one might even lose one's life. Therefore, even though the money earned by the Xu family from hunting in the mountains could sometimes catch up with the annual income of a few acres of good farmland, the villagers were not jealous. If Xu Congyi hadn't fallen ill a few years ago and needed to spend a lot of money on her medical treatment and medicine, the Xu family, with their good farmland and hunting skills, would have been considered a wealthy family in the village.

Xu Congyi could see the worry of her family. Her older brother had gone to school these days, so only she, her grandmother and her mother were at home. Her mother would go to the gate from time to time. Although her grandmother was much calmer, every time her mother came back from the gate, she would look at her inquiringly. Whenever her mother shook her head, her grandmother would look a little disappointed.

Xu Congyi was also a little anxious, but she couldn't help in any way. She just prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her grandfather and father would return safely.

Another day passed. At night, Xu Congyi was lying on the bed. Suddenly, she seemed to hear someone knocking on the door. She sat up suddenly and listened carefully. Sure enough, someone was knocking on the door. She put on her clothes and walked out. She found that her grandmother and mother also heard the sound and walked out of the bedroom.

The three of them tiptoed to the door. After all, there were only women and children in the house, so they didn't dare to open the door rashly. Xu Congyi raised his throat to make his voice thicker, and asked bravely:

"Who is it?"

A low voice came from outside, "I am Youhu, Dad and I are back."

Hearing the voice of Xu the Hunter, Li Dahua quickly moved the wood against the door to let the two in, and then quickly ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't cook," said Old Man Xu to stop his daughter-in-law. "Youhu and I roasted a pheasant tonight, and we're not hungry at all now. Come on, help carry the food, and let's go into the yard and talk."

It was only then that Xu Congyi noticed something piled behind the two men. When he got closer, he saw that they were wild boars, and two of them!

They said they were asked to help carry the things, but in fact they only helped to bring the two backpacks into the yard. The two wild boars were carried in by Old Man Xu and Old Man Xu. They used local materials and tied the hands and feet of the two wild boars to wooden sticks and carried them back.

The wild boars that grew up in the mountains are different from the modern domesticated large white pigs that weigh three or four hundred pounds. They have more lean meat and are not big in size. Two of them weigh more than two hundred pounds together, so two men can still carry them back. Tomorrow morning, they can hire an ox cart to take them directly to the restaurant for slaughter.

After looking at the wild boar, Xu Congyi poured out the contents of the two backpacks. In one basket were the tools that the father and son needed to go up the mountain, and in the other basket were a dozen ginseng roots wrapped in a small red cloth.

Seeing his granddaughter take out the ginseng, Old Man Xu felt a little proud. It turned out that these ginseng were found by him and his son in the living area of ​​the two wild boars. He carefully observed the surrounding land and finally dug out fifteen ginsengs.

Xu Congyi looked at the ginseng in the red cloth bag and had an idea. The ginseng dug by her grandfather was of uneven size, with three or four of them being small and the beards not complete. Anyway, it was free to buy things in the space, so she could directly buy some large wild ginseng from the space as a replacement.

After counting the harvest, Xu's mother had already boiled a large pot of water and urged her son and husband to take a bath and have a good sleep. Xu Congyi helped Li Dahua pack up and returned to the house.

Late at night, a figure sneaked into the main room.

The "creaky" sound of the door opening seemed very loud in the quiet night. Xu Congyi held her breath, and when she saw that no one in the family noticed, she tiptoed into the house. She brought a mini flashlight with her, and the brightness was very low, but just enough to see things clearly in the dark night.

Xu Cong opened the cloth bag containing the ginseng, found the few small ginsengs, put them in her pocket, and then replaced them with the wild ginsengs she bought from the space. Just now, Xu Cong made a wrong order, and only found out after she bought it that it was dried ginseng. Fortunately, the space allows people to buy things as soon as they arrive, so she quickly bought five fresh wild ginsengs.

After exchanging the five ginseng roots, Xu Congyi rewrapped the cloth bag and put it back into the backpack, then returned to his hut with peace of mind.
