The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter
Chapter 116 Crystal Fruit
The next day, Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao got up and washed at dawn. Yan Zhenshen went to the river first to retrieve the fishing net. This time the harvest was not as much as last time.
However, the weather had turned cooler and there was no need to worry about not being able to keep the fish, so Yan Zhenshen cleaned the net and put it back into the river.
When he came back with the fish and shrimp, Chu Xiao was busy in the kitchen.
Hearing Yan Zhenshen's voice, Chu Xiao shouted, "Brother Shen, the noodles are ready. I'm not good at cutting, so you cut the noodles."
"Okay." Yan Zhenshen put the fish into the water tank and washed his hands with soap beads before entering the kitchen.
Yan Zhenshen's hands were steady, and the noodles he cut were of uniform thickness, unlike Chu Xiao who had his own ideas for each strand.
While Yan Zhenshen was cutting noodles, Chu Xiao fried three eggs in advance and put them on a plate before boiling water to cook the noodles.
The two of them were eating noodles. Yan Zhenshen looked at the two eggs in his bowl and passed one to Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao raised his hand to block him: "You eat it. I only want to eat one. Otherwise, I will fry four."
Yan Zhenshen thought about it and withdrew his hand. After finishing his breakfast in a few bites, he started to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.
Chu Xiao usually would get lazy out of habit after dinner, so he teased the wolf cub for a while before the two of them went out.
The trees in this deep mountain are scattered here and there. If Yan Zhenshen wants to pick wolfberries, he knows a few trees in each direction.
Three hounds led the way, and Yan Zhenshen followed behind, holding Chu Xiao's hand. It was still early, and the dew that had not yet dispersed fell on the dead leaves, making the road extremely slippery.
They first went to the west mountain. Chu Xiao had memorized the locations of six or seven wolfberry trees. Not long after walking, he saw one and waved to Yan Zhenshen: "Look, this one is the closest to home."
"Well, go slow and don't rush." Yan Zhenshen held back his husband who wanted to run forward: "I'll accompany you to pick something farther away today. This place is close to home, so it's safer for you to come alone."
Chu Xiao stopped and turned his head to look around: "Okay, let's explore the new map today."
Yan Zhenshen felt somewhat helpless, it seemed that he wanted to go deeper, but it would be good if he had someone to accompany him, so that his husband wouldn't be so bold as to take risks alone.
The two of them continued walking forward, out of the area Chu Xiao usually stepped into. As they went further ahead, they saw more wood ears on the trees and more mushrooms on the ground.
A fragrance came from somewhere, and Chu Xiao took a deep breath: "What a nice fragrance, what kind of flower is this?"
"It should be osmanthus. The old people say that jasmine flowers are like snow in July, and osmanthus flowers are full of fragrance in August."
Chu Xiao patted Taxue: "Where does Taxue's smell come from?"
Taxue tilted his head and sniffed, then ran in one direction. After walking about ten meters, he saw a large osmanthus tree. Chu Xiao pinched a few petals to smell them, then turned back and said to Yan Zhenshen, "Brother Shen, this smells good. Let's dig up a sapling and take it back."
"Let me dig." Yan Zhenshen took the hoe that Chu Xiao took out from the space and picked a small tree less than one meter tall to dig.
Chu Xiao would break off the well-blooming branches on the other side and put them into the space, so that he could take a branch and put it in a vase to keep for a few days whenever he had nothing to do, and the house would be filled with fragrance every day.
Before picking any wolfberries, they started digging up the trees here.
After the tree was dug, the two continued walking forward, picking mushrooms and fungus as they walked.
It was also the first time that Chu Xiao encountered the crystal fruit that Yan Zhenshen had mentioned. It was a milky white and transparent fruit, the size of a baby's fist, and seemed to reflect light under the sunlight.
Chu Xiao picked one and tasted it. It tasted slightly sweet but also had a milky aroma. Chu Xiao looked at Yan Zhenshen in surprise: "Why does it taste like milk?"
Yan Zhenshen nodded: "This crystal fruit can be eaten by babies. The old people in the village said that my brother had no milk after giving birth. In the past, during the war, there was no goat milk to feed the child, so he relied on these crystal fruits."
"How amazing! This mountain is indeed rich in treasures."
The boy needs to use it when he has a baby, so he must pick some to take back. Luo Ge is almost four months pregnant and will give birth before the New Year. If there is no goat milk, it can be used as an emergency.
Moreover, it has such a strong milky flavor, I wonder if it can be consumed as real milk. If it is possible, can he make snacks such as egg tarts and cakes?
"Husband, do you like to eat this?" Seeing Chu Xiao's eyes shining, Yan Zhenshen planned to pick some for him.
Chu Xiao looked up at him and said, "Let's take them all back."
Yan Zhenshen smiled faintly: "If you like, take them all back."
This place is not far from the wolf pack. Even if someone really needs crystal fruit, they won't risk coming here to pick it. So it's okay to pick them all.
Yan Zhenshen picked the fruits high up on the tree, and Chu Xiao picked the fruits within reach below.
"Brother Shen, we have walked a long way, but I didn't even hear the wolf's howl."
"Wolves usually come out to hunt for food at night, and their activity range is usually deeper in the country. They don't often come here."
"Is it deeper?" Chu Xiao always thought that they were in the real deep mountains and forests.
"This place is only thirty miles away from the village. Although few people go into the mountains normally, it is still a place that no one has ever set foot on. The deeper you go, the more ferocious beasts there are."
"Are there any other ferocious beasts?" Chu Xiao became more and more curious.
Yan Zhenshen picked all the fruits and came down from the tree before saying, "Tigers, blind bears, leopards, these beasts are all in the real deep mountains."
Chu Xiao licked his lips: "Ah, are those beasts delicious?"
Yan Zhenshen: "...They might think you taste better."
Chu Xiao choked. Was his brother Shen seriously joking with him?
Yan Zhenshen looked forward again, then pulled Chu Xiao back and said, "We can't go any further. It will be very troublesome if we really run into a pack of wolves."
Yan Zhenshen has never been an arrogant person. He doesn't even dare to say that he can escape unscathed from dealing with a lone wolf. If he encounters a pack of wolves, he will not be much better off even if he doesn't die.
Chu Xiao did not object, and on the way back they started picking wolfberries. The peppercorns and chestnuts were not fully ripe yet, so they could wait a few more days. However, they could pick some wild tea and bring it back to drink with tea in winter.
They picked some wolfberries as they walked, getting a little from this and a little from that. By the time it was time to go back, they had only picked some from three wolfberry trees.
"Let's go home first and come back to pick some tomorrow." Yan Zhenshen said as he threw the last handful of wolfberries into the backpack.
Chu Xiao took one out and chewed it. "They say wolfberry and red date tea can beautify the skin, nourish the blood and nourish the Qi. I have wolfberries and tea now, and the only thing left is red dates."
"Wild dates are not tasty. There are people in the village who grow dates. We can buy some when we get back."
Of course Chu Xiao knew that wild dates were not tasty, they were sour and astringent but not sweet at all. He had tasted almost all the fruits on the mountain.
"That's fine too. Goji berries, tea leaves, red dates, and red date and goji berry tea."
…Hahahaha, let me just laugh for a while!!!
