I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Gu Yongming couldn't use much strength with one hand, so Gu Wenxuan took the initiative to take on the task of carrying the wild boar down the mountain.

Jia's father, Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi tied up the two wild boars. Bai Jingzhou, with the help of Gu Wenxuan and Jia Yuelan, made a simple handcart with branches.

"Oh, Jingzhou has this skill?" Gu Wenxuan and Jia Yuelan had never demonstrated this skill before, so Jia's father directly attributed the credit of the handcart to Bai Jingzhou.

Bai Jingzhou smiled shyly and explained, "My uncle is a carpenter. I saw him make a similar hand trailer."

Although his uncle's machine had wheels and was made of dry wood, his machine, which was made of branches and had no wheels on the bottom, was just as labor-saving as the one with wheels when used in a forest covered with weeds.

Several people loaded the two wild boars onto the hand trailer, and Jia Yuelan and Bai Jingzhou each picked up two bunches of pheasants and rabbits.

"Then let's go down the mountain first." Father Jia waved to his daughter and son-in-law, then took Jia Yuelan, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou down the mountain together.

He and Gu Wenxuan went down the mountain because they were the main labor force to drag the wild boar. Jia Yuelan and Bai Jingzhou followed them down the mountain because they were not strong enough and would only be a drag even if they stayed.

The four of them dragged the things down the mountain. Jia's father left Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou to guard the prey, while he took Jia Yuelan home to look for people and a car.

Placing two clean stone slabs under the shade of a tree at the foot of the mountain, Bai Jingzhou waved to Gu Wenxuan to come over and sit down.

Gu Wenxuan took two steps to sit beside Bai Jingzhou and asked, "What are you going to do with the Ganoderma? Are you going to sell it directly or process it first?"

"Let's prepare it first." Bai Jingzhou handed her a piece of sugar cake, "I brought all the necessary tools for making medicine."

Gu Wenxuan's lips slightly opened in surprise. She said, "No wonder your backpack is so heavy."

The main tools for drying and preparing Chinese medicine include straw/bamboo mats, baskets, medicine cutting knives, medicine sieves, thunder planers, balance scales, clay pots, decoction vessels, log steamers, etc. Bai Jingzhou must be tired carrying so many things along with his own rations on his back.

But then she thought again, Bai Jingzhou was carrying so many things, yet he was still able to walk to Jiajia Village on his own. Doesn't that mean his physical strength is a little better than she expected?

"It seems I have to increase your training workload." As a young person, you should train to death if you can't stop. Since Bai Jingzhou still has extra energy, she can't just watch him waste it.

Bai Jingzhou: ...

He struggled desperately, "I still have to memorize medical books, collect herbs and make medicine. I really don't have time to continue to increase the amount of training."

Gu Wenxuan, "Aren't you teaching Bai Jingshan? He should be able to do simple cleaning and drying work, right?"

Bai Jingzhou frowned, "It's possible..." It was Bai Jingshan who was capable, not him, Bai Jingzhou. Why should he practice more just because Bai Jingshan was able to do part of his work? He was already tired enough!

Gu Wenxuan patted his shoulder halfheartedly to comfort him, "Think of it this way. Strength is not something you will never have again if you use it up, nor is it something that will slowly accumulate if you don't use it. Not using it is a waste, and using it is a profit, so of course you have to use it up every day."

Bai Jingzhou: ...

It's obviously heresy, but he somehow feels it makes sense... He must be crazy.

The two chatted casually, and soon Jia's father and seven young men from the Jia family came along the bank of Xun River driving two ox carts.

The Jia family members were very enthusiastic. Without Gu Wenxuan having to do anything, they shouted and carried the two wild boars to the reserved space on the car.

After watching Jia's father and the others walk away and disappear, Gu Wenxuan dragged the now empty handcart and smiled as she beckoned Bai Jingzhou into the mountain, "Let's go, don't keep my parents waiting."

Without Jia's father to look after her, Jia Yuelan was left at home by Jia's father to accompany Jia's mother, so now only Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou had to go up the mountain again.

Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi did not stay there waiting for Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou. Although they did not dare to provoke two or more medium-sized prey without the support of Gu Wenxuan and Jia's father, they were still able to deal with pheasants, rabbits, badgers, lone wild sheep, foxes and the like.

Gu Wenxuan, who returned to the junction of the foot of the mountain and the mountainside, did not go out of her way to look for Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi. She chose a direction that looked pleasing to the eye and took Bai Jingzhou back to the depths of the forest.

On the way, the two encountered a nest of wild bees. Gu Wenxuan stared at the beehive and did not move.

Her saliva was already flooding, but she didn't know how to collect honey, so she could only look at Bai Jingzhou pitifully for help.

Bai Jingzhou and she came from the same place, and he actually coveted the same things that Gu Wenxuan coveted, but he was not like Gu Wenxuan, who would always express his true feelings openly.

Bai Jingzhou quietly swallowed his saliva that was about to overflow and tried his best to maintain his usual calm demeanor. "We didn't bring any tools today. Let's go tomorrow. I'll prepare the tools tomorrow and we'll come over to harvest all the honey we can."

It is the same principle as that you cannot drain the pond to catch all the fish. You cannot harvest as much honey as you can and leave no food for the little bees. So Bai Jingzhou would say, "Harvest all the honey that can be harvested."

Gu Wenxuan regretted that she couldn't eat the honey right away. She pointed at the beehive eagerly and said, "What are the chances of being caught by these little guys if I dig a little and run away immediately?"

Bai Jingzhou: ...

Bai Jingzhou, "I don't know the chances of you being chased, but the chances of me being chased are definitely 100%."

Gu Wenxuan:......

Gu Wenxuan, overwhelmed by her cravings, took a deep breath and said, "Well, well, then."

She took one last reluctant look at the nest of wild bees and said, "Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow."

Bai Jingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The tone in which Gu Wenxuan said "tomorrow" made it clear that she was trying to convince herself not to rush forward without caring about the consequences.

Considering that she still cared about him, an ally, Bai Jingzhou kindly reminded her, "Does your grandfather have any precious honey collection?"

Gu Wenxuan slapped her thigh, "Yes! This is Jia Village! It's the Hunter Village!"

There aren't many fields in the Hunter Village. To make a living, the men and women in the village spend at least 300 days out of the 365 days a year in the mountains looking for various mountain products.

Men and women with good skills mainly hunt, and occasionally collect some expensive medicinal herbs such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.

The elderly, women and half-grown children who have little fighting ability will go up the mountain together to collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, pick elm seeds, look for nuts, cut honey, pick wild fruits, mushrooms and fungus.

How could a village like this be out of honey stock?
