The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Although it is winter, it is not yet to the point where the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Yan Zhenshen would also run in the mountains at this time of year in previous years.

Moreover, because the hay is buried underground, the roe deer and fawns at this time spend more time out to forage, making them easier to catch than in summer.

Yan Zhenshen was preparing to go up the mountain that day, and he had no intention of taking Chu Xiao with him. After all, his husband was very afraid of the cold, and it was much colder on the mountain than at the foot of the mountain.

But it’s okay to let Chu Xiao relax for a few days, but he can’t stay here for too long.

Yan Zhenshen had no choice but to take his husband with him after much persuasion.

At worst, we can just chop more firewood and warm up the thatched hut.

But Chu Xiao had gone up the mountain, so how could he stay in the thatched hut during the day? There was nothing else on the mountain now, but there were a lot of wild persimmons.

After taking it back and putting it on the kang to slow down, you can taste the sweet juice when you take a sip.

Chu Xiao particularly likes to eat this recently, so he picked a lot of it.

There were still some chestnuts that I had missed before, so I picked up all of them I could.

Chu Xiao has a large space, but the thirty or so wild boars take up too much space. He plans to deal with some of them when he goes down the mountain this time, and then sell some more during the New Year. Leaving two will be enough for his family to eat.

But how to deal with it is a troublesome matter. Although Brother Shen is a hunter and it is normal to hunt one or two wild boars occasionally, but so many wild boars at once may become a legendary story in the surrounding villages.

Finally, the two of them discussed and decided to go to another county or provincial capital to sell the goods. Although it would take some time, no one would recognize them elsewhere.

This time, the two had only been on the mountain for seven days when a heavy snow fell. When they woke up in the morning, all they saw was a vast expanse of white.

As soon as I stepped on the shoes, the uppers were covered with snow.

"We have to go down the mountain. If it snows again, the snow will be too thick and the road will be difficult to walk on."

Yan Zhenshen had suffered this before. There was heavy snow for several consecutive days, and every step he took was submerged in the knees. He was tall and had long legs, but it took him until dark to get home. Not to mention his husband's thin arms and legs. He would probably be exhausted after walking for a while.

"Has it snowed so heavily in previous years?" Chu Xiao actually likes snow very much. The white color makes people feel pure and flawless. It would be even better if it wasn't so cold.

But he wasn't very cold now.

As soon as he got to the mountain, he put on the fox cloak. It was warm and had a high collar, so he didn't feel the biting cold as before.

Yan Zhenshen didn't let him stand outside for too long. He pulled him into the thatched hut before answering, "This year the snow fell earlier than in previous years, and the weather was much colder. I'm afraid many families didn't have enough firewood in time."

In fact, the Yan family didn’t have much firewood, but his house was close to the mountain, so they could just chop some in winter.

The two of them packed up their things quickly and went down the mountain while it was still early.

Yan Zhenshen had a fruitful trip up the mountain this time, because the wild boars in Wild Boar Ridge were frightened by the macho boy and moved away from there and went deeper into the mountain.

Instead, it allowed him to move freely in Wild Boar Ridge and captured four roe deer, a doe and a fawn.

As for pheasants and rabbits, we caught some as well.

In previous years, he would not have caught so many. Firstly, he would not get too close to Wild Boar Ridge, and secondly, he seldom stayed in the mountain for more than three days.

I have to say that his husband is indeed a lucky man. With him accompanying him in the mountains, he almost never returns empty-handed.

The two of them led the roe deer and the doe down the mountain. They didn't dare to walk too fast because of the snow. Even if they walked slowly, Chu Xiao would slip from time to time and fall flat on his face.

Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes, so he didn't feel much pain when he fell.

He was originally leading two roe deer. When he fell, the roe deer ran a few steps and dragged him a little distance.

Taxue barked and scared the two stupid roe deer, which allowed Chu Xiao to get up.

Yan Zhenshen didn't know what to say. He wanted to help his husband, but he had no money.

Chu Xiao didn't care at all and even found it quite interesting.

Yan Zhenshen was helpless: "When there is time, I will make you a sled and let the hounds pull you."

Chu Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly: "Then I'll do it when I get back."

After such bumpy journey, the two finally got home near evening.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Zhao Guizhi breathed a sigh of relief: "It snowed heavily yesterday, and I was thinking that if you guys didn't come back, I would let Lao Er take a few people to the mountain to have a look."

It's no wonder she was worried. The thatched huts on the mountain were built crudely, and many times when people went up the mountain again after a winter, the roofs would have collapsed.

Before the old hunter built a house at the foot of the mountain, he was buried there while sleeping in the middle of the night. He struggled to get down the mountain and had a high fever for several days.

He lived in the Yan family that winter, which was why he gave the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain to them to stay when the Yan family got into trouble.

"We won't go up the mountain this time." Yan Zhenshen led the roe deer into the yard.

"It's better not to go. This year is much colder than previous years. I don't think it's a good sign." Zhao Guizhi sighed.

Chu Xiao was puzzled: "Doesn't the book say that auspicious snow means a good harvest?"

Zhao Guizhi smiled and said, "That's true, but there are also cases where there is no snow during light snow and heavy snow everywhere. Once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and the temperature drops sharply, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive this winter."

Farmers are not afraid of the busy spring and autumn, but they fear winter the most. It’s good that their Anning Village is close to the county town, but in those remote villages, no one knows how many people freeze to death every winter.

Especially the elderly and children, if they catch a cold or have a fever, they can only endure it. If they can endure it, it's fine, but if they can't, there is no hope.

Chu Xiao didn’t understand these things, and even if he did, he didn’t have the same groundless worries as Zhao Guizhi.

Otherwise, he would cry so much that he would go blind as he watched the people around him disappear one by one in the end times.

Zhao Guizhi just said a few words casually, and soon they were enjoying themselves around the roe deer and doe.

He also brought two bales of hay to feed them: "Are you planning to sell them now, or wait for a while before selling them during the winter solstice?"

Yan Zhenshen felt that although he could earn a little more money by selling the cows at the winter solstice, if he kept the hay at home until then, the remaining hay would not be enough for two cows to survive the winter.

"Let's sell them in the next few days." Yan Zhenshen said, "No one goes up the mountain in winter anyway, so I plan to take Xiao Ge'er to other counties to sell some mountain products."

Zhao Guizhi was stunned: "Can't we just sell it in Anning Town?"

"Brother Xiao has collected too much, it's not easy to take them out." Yan Zhenshen didn't mention the wild boar. He was afraid of scaring Zhao Guizhi. After all, what is the time and space manager, only he and Chu Xiao should know about it.

Zhao Guizhi nodded. That made sense. If their family suddenly sold too many mountain products in the town, others would surely be jealous. And it would be hard to say where the products came from. After all, it was impossible for these two people to carry so many things.

"Okay then, you can also take Xiao Ge'er around and buy him whatever he likes. Be sure to take good care of him and don't get him lost."

Chu Xiao just changed his clothes and came out of the house. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing: "Mom, I'm not a child."

Zhao Guizhi said, "Nowadays, those beggars don't just steal children. You must pay attention to your safety when you go out."

Yan Zhenshen nodded: "I will take good care of my husband."
