The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

There was a reason why Yan Zhenshen didn't take the wolf cub with him. It could only be said that he was too spoiled when he was young. Even though he had taught him a lesson after beating him a few times, it was still difficult to make a wolf obey orders like a hound.

If you go hunting other prey, you can take it with you, but if the wolf cub cannot hold down the fox, the prey will be scared away.

Chu Xiao watched the people and the hunting dogs disappear before he turned around and closed the gate. He had to go to the medicinal field to check, as some herbs should have been dug up long ago.

There are always a lot of things to do once you enter the mountains, and before you know it, the morning has passed.

Chu Xiao looked up at the sky. Before he had even started digging, the sun was already at the center and his stomach growled several times.

Chu Xiao sat on a big rock to rest. He was too lazy to go back to cook, so he took out some bread and pickles and started to eat them. As for the wolf cub, he didn't know where it had run away.

Apart from the occasional bird calls and the sound of my own chewing, it was too quiet, making me feel empty inside.

But this emotion only lasted for a while, and when I started working again, I wouldn't think so much about it.

Many of the angelica he was digging up this time were those that were not dug up last year and were left over this year. The roots of each one were very long and could easily be cut off with a hoe if one was not careful.

It was almost dusk when Chu Xiao put down the work in his hands, calculated how many days it would take to harvest the seeds, and went to check on the growth of the ginseng.

This year's ginseng was just planted and was not well cared for. I don't know when one of them died, and now there are only eleven of them growing in a mess.

Chu Xiao dug up some soil and took a look. The thumb-sized rhizome looked really pitiful. He decided to dig one out when he went down the mountain. Since he had nothing to do in the winter, he might as well get a century-old ginseng and keep it in his box.

As for the other ten, just let them grow first and then take good care of them and harvest the seeds next year.

Chu Xiao watered the medicinal field before it got dark. While watering, he was thinking that he should go to the dead tree tomorrow to see if the remaining Ganoderma lucidum was still there.

This subordinate of Lord Yuan has lived in the mountain for so long, and I don’t know if any of them has discovered it. If it is taken away by others, it will be a huge loss.

It was normal for Yan Zhenshen to not come back for three or two days while hunting foxes. Chu Xiao couldn't sleep alone and didn't know when he fell asleep.

He was awakened by the sound of the wolf cub scratching at the door. When he opened his eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.

After a simple meal that was neither breakfast nor lunch, he took the wolf cub to the west. Chu Xiao was already familiar with the roads nearby, so he picked some wild fruits that had not fallen yet.

When we got to the dead tree, we picked a small basket of fruits. The quality didn't look very good, but it didn't affect the taste much.

The Ganoderma lucidum on the dead tree is still growing there, and seems to be a little bigger than before. Chu Xiao is reluctant to pick it all, as he always wants it to grow bigger.

But then I thought, you never know what will happen and outsiders might show up in the mountains, so it's not safe to just leave them here. So I picked a few of the big ones and let the small ones grow some more.

After all, he doesn't know how to grow this thing, and if he picks them all, he may not be able to find the next nest.

On the way back, Chu Xiao picked some ripe wolfberries and peppercorns. He worked neatly and efficiently, and soon filled several backpacks.

Things in the deep mountains grow better than those around the village. Red dates and wolfberries are also delicious when used to make tea in winter. There is not much left from what he left last year, so he has to hurry up and prepare more this year.

The medicinal herbs, wolfberries and peppercorns all needed to be dried in the sun. Chu Xiao took out the rack that Yan Zhennan had made earlier from the space, found a sunny spot, spread it flat in the winnowing basket, and arranged it one by one.

It is not that troublesome to leave it here to bask in the sun during the day and put it directly into the space at night. As for the hut that his brother Shen built for him to dry the medicinal materials, it naturally cannot be wasted.

After being busy for two or three days in a row, Chu Xiao also adapted to life in the mountains again. There were many things drying in and outside the yard. Every time he looked up, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Yan Zhenshen was away for a longer time this time, and the hunting dog returned before dark on the third day.

Chu Xiao was just about to cook dinner when he heard the dog barking and quickly got up and went out.

The wolf cub was much faster than Chu Xiao. He had already run over there a long time ago and played with Taxue for a while.

When they were almost close to the thatched hut, the wolf cub was the first to run to Chu Xiao, rubbing and jumping towards him, just like when it had returned from hunting with Yan Zhenshen and was waiting to be praised.

Chu Xiao was speechless. He had no idea whether he had gone hunting or not, so why was he pretending in front of him?

He was originally very excited to come out to greet his brother Shen, but after being treated like that by the wolf cub, he felt a bit helpless.

However, Yan Zhenshen saw how happy his husband was and couldn't help but smile.

"Go play somewhere else." Chu Xiao pushed the wolf cub away and looked up at Yan Zhenshen again, complaining, "Why are you away for so long this time?"

"We walked a little further." Yan Zhenshen walked forward and took her husband's hand, and said to him happily, "This time we passed the Wild Boar Ridge and walked another ten miles west. I haven't been there much before, but I was lucky. I shot two good-looking white foxes and six mixed-hair foxes."

Yan Zhenshen was very satisfied with his harvest this time, and a rare smug look appeared on his face, like a wolf cub, as if waiting to be praised.

Maybe Yan Zhenshen himself didn't notice the change at all, but when Chu Xiao saw it, he couldn't help but think of what Zhao Guizhi said about his brother Shen's childhood.

If there hadn't been such a huge change in his family, what would his brother Shen look like? He would probably be the kind of man who is confident, outspoken, talkative and playful, the kind of man that all the girls and boys in the village want to marry.

After entering the house, Yan Zhenshen was still telling him about the prey he encountered on the road, as if he had discovered a new treasure trove.

"I saw the badger again, but I didn't find its cave. I'll take Tread Snow to look for it after I kill more foxes."

Chu Xiao nodded and said, "I'll go with you later."

Since his brother Shen said that he had never been there before, Chu Xiao couldn't help but worry about the danger. Who knows what's deeper there? It would always be safer for him to follow along.

"I'm preparing to cook. I picked a lot of wild vegetables today. I'm going to make some wild vegetable soup and fry some eggs."

"Okay." Yan Zhenshen responded with a smile. He felt very satisfied when he came back and had someone to talk to and a hot meal to eat. This was the advantage of having a husband. It was much more comfortable and relaxed than the previous times when he went up the mountain and returned to an empty thatched cottage.

Honestly speaking, she doesn't want to stay in the mountains at all without her husband. She can't help but think that it's a good thing that she is a hunter. If she were a soldier or a peddler, she would probably have to drag her husband to the battlefield and travel around with her.

He smiled and shook his head, putting aside the unrealistic ideas in his mind, washed his hands and lit another stove. He had been in the mountains for two or three days, sleeping in the open air, and he always had to take a bath when he came back, otherwise he would be so dirty and would not dare to sleep with his husband in his arms.
