Life was peaceful and quiet in the mountains. Chu Xiao soaked the ginseng seeds two days ago. Because the seeds had poor vitality, he also spent some of his mental energy.

Early in the morning, Yan Zhenshen took Taxue and Dahei to the mountain. Chu Xiao planted the ginseng seeds that had already sprouted while the sun was not too strong.

There were only twelve seeds in total, which was a rather small number. Chu Xiao waited for them to take root and sprout, then used his mental power to stimulate the birth of two seeds, allowing them to grow quickly. He would plant another wave in the fall when he had the seeds.

In fact, he can also rely on mental power to grow it. This amount of ginseng can become 20 to 30 years old ginseng within a month, and by the end of the year it will become a hundred years old. Chu Xiao feels excited just thinking about it, that's all hard money.

But Yan Zhenshen didn't quite agree. One or two were fine, and he could just consider it as luck digging them up in the mountains. But if the number was too many, it would inevitably make people suspicious.

Suspicion about Chu Xiao’s identity is one possibility, but the more likely possibility is that many people will go into the mountains to look for ginseng.

After all, under the temptation of huge profits, sometimes uncertain dangers are not worth mentioning.

If too many people go into the mountains, animals will flee deeper into the depths, and hunting will become increasingly difficult.

But Yan Zhenshen’s concern was not this. He was afraid that the people who were looking for ginseng would feel resentful if they couldn’t find it. Why could Chu Xiao find it but they couldn’t?

When people develop this kind of unbalanced mentality, they are likely to come to the idea that if I can't get it, no one else can.

Chu Xiao could understand what his brother Shen meant. It was also because after he escaped from the apocalypse, the comfortable life made him let down his guard.

He even felt that his brain was just a decoration, as if everything he thought about had become extremely simple.

Chu Xiao sat by the river, washing clothes and thinking. He grew up in the harsh environment of the end of the world, and his greatest pursuit was nothing more than a stable life.

Now that the house and land have been purchased, and his space has been filled up to prepare for unexpected events, all that is left is to lie down and live a leisurely life.

He doesn't care about the wealth and fame that others want, and is content with a small fortune.

Although ginseng still needs to be planted, there is no need to be so anxious. Just produce a few old ginsengs and keep them as a precaution, and let the rest grow slowly.

If possible, he could sell more medicinal herb seeds in the future. When everyone in Anning Town starts growing medicinal herbs, no matter what good things he has, no one will be jealous.

Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing when he thought about it. It was really a long-term plan.

After the hottest time of noon, Chu Xiao went to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots. This kind of bamboo shoots had to be picked while they were still tender, otherwise they would become old within a few days.

Chu Xiao stopped only after he had broken off a basket of water celery. He had to leave some for them to grow. He walked along the bamboo forest towards the river bank. He had picked a lot of water celery when he was fishing two days ago, but some of them were still small and he didn't pick them. They should have grown out by now.

He was right. The water celery was growing at the perfect age and was very fresh and tender. He picked all he could. The sun was getting stronger these days, and Chu Xiao felt a little irritated. Eating water celery was just right for him.

Seeing that the water lilies were also popping up, he picked some and thought that he should walk west tomorrow as the wild vegetables grew better there.

Wild vegetables will become old when summer really comes, so we can only pick as many as we can now. These are all reserve food, and Chu Xiao doesn't dare to be lazy at all.

Chu Xiao picked all that could be picked, then called the wolf cub who was lazily lying in the sun and walked back.

After simply washing the wild vegetables, he put them back into the space and took two buckets of water back with him, so that Yan Zhenshen wouldn't have to deal with these things when he came back from hunting.

There were still two fish in the water tank from the last time he caught them. Chu Xiao caught them, scraped off the scales and removed the internal organs. His movements were smooth and skillful.

He chopped the fish into small pieces and marinated it with salt. He then took out the water celery and cut it into sections. He started a fire, rinsed the water celery, and made a cold water celery dish.

Take out the water celery, heat oil, add slices of ginger, garlic and a few red peppers, pour hot oil on it, and a cold dish is ready.

After the fish is marinated, fry it slightly with the remaining oil in the pot, add water and simmer it on low heat for a while. Chu Xiao took this opportunity to cut some tofu and put it into the pot to stew together.

Having nothing to do now, he gathered some grass and fiddled with it in his hands, but the weaving he made was still a mess.

Thinking that a certain guy had been taking advantage of him these days under the pretext of teaching him, he raised his eyebrows and threw those things aside.

They were just some useless gadgets, and he didn't really need to know how to do them.

So that night Yan Zhenshen never saw his husband studying the grass. He was kind enough to help pluck some, but his husband didn't even look at it. He said he didn't want to learn anymore and just lay down to sleep.

Yan Zhenshen chuckled. In fact, it seemed that there was no need to find a reason to take advantage of her husband.

After being carefully cared for for a period of time, the wolf cub regained its former liveliness, but it began to dislike the ball more and more, and would kick it around whenever it had the chance.

Chu Xiao picked all the water vegetables on the river bank, stood up and pounded his sore waist.

He stretched out of habit and leaned back, making his belly look even bigger.

Recently, his appetite has suddenly increased and he gets hungry easily. In the past, he would only eat one and a half bowls of food out of his small bowl, but recently he has to eat three bowls.

Once he entered the mountain, he wanted to take a bite of everything he saw, especially the water spinach, which was fresh and tender when eaten raw. He ate four or five of them in just a short while.

He touched his belly and said, "I'm not that fat, am I?"

Suddenly he realized that the touch under his hand was not right. He wondered if his stomach moved just now.

Just as he was about to investigate further, he heard the wolf cub growling at the woods to the west.

The forest was too dense and Chu Xiao couldn't see clearly what was in it.

But the wolf cub only shows this behavior when it encounters a baby or danger.

If it was a strong man, he would have run away long ago, and that would be dangerous.

Chu Xiao was shocked. Yan Zhenshen said that there was a pack of wolves in the west. Could it be that they were surrounded?

He grabbed the barking ball and randomly found a tree to swing from.

Just as he was about to pull the wolf cub up, he saw a black bear with a sturdy body, broad head and large figure appear in the woods.

Based on his experience in selling wild boars, Chu Xiao felt that this thing should weigh about four or five hundred kilograms.

It is said that blind bears can walk upright. If they stand up, they should be taller than their brother Shen.

Just as he was thinking this, the black bear stood up and used a tree to scratch himself. The white spots on his chest were like a scarf, making him look silly.

The wolf cub did not approach the tree where Chu Xiao was, but stood on the other side, crouching low but making no sound.

The blind bear rubbed the tree trunk, put its front paws on the ground, and its huge body made the ground seem to tremble.

Chu Xiao sat on the tree holding a ball, looking thoughtful. The fur was so thick, it would be so warm if it was used to make a mattress. But he needed something that could penetrate it.

They say you can't have your cake and eat it too. The taste should be comparable to that of fish. I kind of want to try it.

But...how to kill is a question worth thinking about.
