The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chu Xiao's days in the mountains are always busy, just like a little squirrel storing food for the winter, wishing he could grow a few more hands.

When Yan Zhenshen came back from hunting foxes for the third time, Chu Xiao had already taken care of the medicinal field. The collected seeds were put into the space, and there were several baskets of dried herbs.

Now, wolfberries and peppercorns are drying outside the yard. Looking at the rows of things, Yan Zhenshen couldn't help but praise his husband for his ability.

"Don't work so hard. I've made a lot of furs recently, and it's always enough to cover the family expenses."

Yan Zhenshen was dealing with the pheasant in his hand, and asked Chu Xiao to cook the badger meat to reward the hunting dogs.

Although Chu Xiao said that he would go with him to explore the mountains after he was done with this busy period, Yan Zhenshen still found a badger cave while hunting foxes. Badger fur is also a good thing and can be sold for one or two taels of silver.

It is said that Yan Zhenshen did not have the money to catch this thing when he was hunting before, but if you really calculate it, he can make a lot of money a year, twenty or thirty taels of silver. If it were an ordinary family, they would become rich in the village in less than two years.

But having a sick person at home can really be called a bottomless pit. The money he earns seems to be a lot, but it is just barely enough to pay for the medicine.

If his mother had not tightened her belt and held on to him tightly, and had not tolerated and comforted his father no matter how he gave up on himself and tried to commit suicide, his family might have been like Zhang Yiming's, where the father would have hanged himself long ago in order not to burden his wife and children.

Oh, his father has bad legs and feet, so this might be a little difficult.

Chu Xiao put the badger meat into the pot to cook. He didn't need to add any seasoning to the food fed to the hounds, but the dogs would lose their hair if they ate too much salt. Wolf cubs in particular loved to rub against people, and it would be very troublesome to get the gray wolf hair off their bodies.

The water in another pot was already boiling, and Chu Xiao threw a few pheasant eggs into it. It was only mid-afternoon and still early for dinner, so he boiled a few pheasant eggs to satisfy his hunger.

"I saw a pretty good-looking bird a few days ago and wanted to catch it to keep it company with Huahua, but it was too alert and flew away before I could get close to it."

There are many beautiful birds in the mountains, but it is difficult to catch them alive. After all, birds have wings but humans cannot fly.

Yan Zhenshen smiled and said, "It's annoying enough to have a chirping cat every day, not to mention they are of different breeds. I'm afraid they won't get along well. Wouldn't it be even more annoying if they fight every day?"

That's true. Ever since Huahua was picked up by his brother Shen, he has been chirping non-stop every day. What's even more annoying is that sometimes the sound of this thing is really strange, and it even sounds like a baby crying. The family always thinks that Xiaoyuer has woken up, but when they check, it turns out not to be the case.

Yan Sanmei was so scared that she thought it was haunted. After several shocks, she found out that it was the bird that made the sound. Because of this, the little creature was almost destroyed.

Fortunately, Qiao Qingyun came back and saw it. He said that he had seen this kind of bird in the capital city. It was a mimic and would imitate any sound it heard.

Although family members talk every day, it is impossible for them to always say the same words. Xiaoyu, the only one who cannot speak, cries several times a day. Naturally, the first thing this little thing learns is crying.

After Chu Xiao boiled the eggs, he got out another basin of hot water. After wiping the chicken feathers, he had to wash them again.

"Pheasants are quite fat these days. Take a day to catch more, clean them up and put them away. They will be perfect for making soup in winter."

The pheasant meat is not as fatty as the domestic chicken, and the meat is a bit tougher, but everyone has their own taste. Rich people in the county who have no shortage of fat and water naturally like to eat these wild game, but it is just the opposite among farmers. Whichever fat and water is more valuable will naturally be considered.

"Well, we haven't hunted much in half a year, so there are plenty of pheasants and rabbits around here."

Chu Xiao put the pheasant that Yan Zhenshen had processed into another basin and plucked the feathers that were not cleaned clean.

"It's not a small number. The wolf cub caught several of them recently. Even the pheasant was bitten horribly by it. I was too lazy to deal with it and let it eat it raw. I don't have to worry about its food."

"Since it is ignorant, let it fend for itself. It has no share in the badger meat."

Yan Zhenshen also processed one, and followed Chu Xiao to process it a second time. After cleaning it, he took it to the kitchen and chopped it up. He could use it to make braised chicken in the evening.

After a while, the badger meat in the pot was already emitting an aroma. The wolf cub was pacing around the kitchen door, smelling the scent, completely unaware that the owner of the yard had no intention of feeding it.

The meat fed to hunting dogs does not need to be cooked for too long, as long as it is basically cooked. The reason why raw meat is not fed is because we are afraid that if the dogs eat raw food, they will bite the prey fiercely like wolf cubs when they see it.

Chu Xiao fished out the badger meat and fed it to Taxue and Dahei. The wolf cub was so greedy that it kept whining. Chu Xiao patted it but couldn't help but feed it a piece as well.

The wolf cub then calmed down and lowered his head to enjoy the meal.

However, what Chu Xiao fed it was still much less than what Taxue and Dahei fed it. After eating a few bites, it was still not satisfied and wanted to go to Dahei for some more food. As a result, Dahei pinned it to the ground and bit its ear.

The wail did not last long as Dahei was too lazy to fight with it. The wolf cub slipped over to Taxue with its tail between its legs, but was driven away by Taxue again.

It could only feel wronged and pester Chu Xiao again, rubbing his trouser legs with wolf hair. Chu Xiao was so annoyed that he had no choice but to feed it another piece.

Yan Zhenshen sat aside peeling pheasant eggs, thinking that if his husband spoiled the wolf cub like this, he might not be able to discipline it when the wolf cub grows old.

But he couldn't say this anymore. After all, his husband had denied spoiling the wolf cub several times when it was mentioned. If he said it too much, he was afraid that he would get angry and would dislike his nagging.

Every autumn rain brings a chill. The two have been in the mountain for nearly ten days. An autumn rain fell last night. Although it didn't rain heavily, they could already feel a distinct chill when they got up in the morning.

Chu Xiao shivered unconsciously as he went out. Looking at the man who was sorting out hunting tools, he said, "It's raining. Is it easy to walk on the mountain road?"

"It won't have any impact if it doesn't snow heavily." Yan Zhenshen planned to go fox hunting for the last time and then go down the mountain. The weather will be colder when he comes up next time. It will not be good to spend the night in the mountains. It is easy to get frozen sick.

"Then you should bring a blanket with you, otherwise you won't be able to withstand the cold even if you light a fire."

It was really cold at night when the dew was falling. Even if there was a fire to warm the front, it would not be able to warm the back.

If I just sleep in the mountains for a night, catch a cold and develop a high fever, and then encounter some powerful prey, there is no way I will be able to come back alive.

Yan Zhenshen obediently took a thin blanket. He didn't dare to joke with his body. With a blanket covering his body, he would always be warmer when he took a nap.

This thin quilt was used at home before, but Zhao Guizhi asked someone to refill it with cotton last year, and it is still quite soft.

It won’t be a waste if old items get dirty, and they can still be used after washing.
