Bai Hao had no idea what Chu Xiao was thinking, and he kept on talking about how he was a good young man with good character and morals, and the correct outlook on life, and that he would never do such a morally corrupt thing as marriage fraud.

Regardless of whether he could get a response or not, he had already started swearing to the sky. However, before he could utter the curse, his fingers were forcefully pressed down.

"Say something and stop touching me." Bai Hao raised his finger again, but he had completely forgotten what he was talking about.

"Take your time to swear. We'll go back first." Chu Xiao put the cloths into Yan Zhenshen's arms without hesitation, and he picked up the beautiful wine bottle himself. As for the other things, forget it. He and Brother Shen only have four hands, and they don't have a backpack, so they can't take them away.

Chu Xiao's interruption diverted Bai Hao's attention and he pointed at the return gift he had carefully selected and said, "Then I'll have someone send these things to your house?"

"That's fine." Chu Xiao nodded. Preserved fruits and the like were not cheap in the county town. He didn't pick any wild fruits this year, so he had one less food in the winter. Bai Hao gave him such a big jar of preserves, which should last him for a long time.

As I said, it would be a waste if you don't want to. Bai Hao's life is in danger, so there is no need to be polite to him.

Bai Hao suddenly thought of something: "Aren't you a space?"

Chu Xiao was helpless about this brainless question: "If there's a thief in your warehouse, you should mobilize a lot of troops, right?"

"Damn." Bai Hao suddenly slapped his forehead and said in frustration: "No wonder even Lei Huo's subordinates said I was stupid instead of crazy. It turns out that my IQ is really not online."

Chu Xiao shrugged and agreed with this statement.

When the two returned home, Zhao Guizhi couldn't let go of the brightly colored material. Things brought from Kyoto are naturally good, and the best material in Anning Town is probably incomparable.

And which woman doesn’t love beauty? As soon as she sees a piece of clothing, she starts thinking about what kind of clothes she can make.

However, Zhao Guizhi only admired it for a while before asking uncertainly, "Was this fabric given by the Marquis Zunyuan?"

That's right, Zhao Guizhi already knew that the man who said she was like a sister on the day of Xiaoyuer's full moon banquet was Zunyuan Hou. It would be a lie to say that she was not shocked, but she had to admit that Bai Hao's performance was too casual to associate him with this title.

Therefore, the Yan family's attitude towards him can be said to be respectful, but there is no fear of him.

After getting Chu Xiao's affirmation, Zhao Guizhi said cautiously: "Those fabrics don't have any specifications, right? Officials can use them, and we ordinary people can use them too?"

Chu Xiao smiled and said, "We are not making dragon robes or official uniforms, so what can't we use?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Guizhi glanced at him sideways, knowing that Xiao Ge'er was only talking at home and would definitely not talk nonsense outside, so she stopped nagging.

She happily carried the cloth into the house and showed it to her third sister.

Now she feels that she is getting old. Although she still loves beauty, she is reluctant to buy herself good things. She wants to leave a few pieces for her third sister as a dowry, and make a few small clothes for Xiaoyuer that she can wear in recent years.

This cloth was brought back by Xiao Ge'er, so naturally he had to get his share. As for the men in the family, such a bright color was really not suitable.

After returning home, Chu Xiao threw the bottle of wine into the space, thinking that since it was tribute wine, he had to wait until an important day to take it out.

As for what counts as an important day, any day he is particularly happy on is considered an important day.

Winter always gives people a particularly bleak feeling. The vibrant wild grass has dried up, and the lush trees have become bald. Looking around, there is almost no green, and everything is gray and yellow.

Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao packed up and went up the mountain early in the morning. This was also their last time going into the mountain this year.

The weather is very good today. There are a few white clouds hanging in the blue sky, but they can't block the sunlight. Occasionally, a cold wind blows, but if you wear something thicker, you won't feel too cold.

Taxue was always alert, and it started barking incessantly before it reached the thatched hut.

Before the two could react to what was happening, Wolf Cub and Dahei had already rushed into the yard.

Chu Xiao looked at the courtyard gate that was not closed tightly and knew that it would attract thieves.

There was no sound from Dahei and the wolf cub, so it was obvious that there was no one in the yard.

This is normal. They have been down the mountain for seven or eight days this time. If they can catch the thief red-handed, they must be very lucky. The thief must be very unlucky.

But what kind of idiot would go to the mountains to steal things when he knows there is nothing valuable in them?

Something valuable?

Chu Xiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had valuable things. Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and ran towards the medicine field.

Yan Zhenshen seemed to have thought of this as well, and hurriedly followed his husband's footsteps. He couldn't help but imagine how angry his husband would be if his husband's medicinal fields were dug up.

Fortunately, no signs of the soil being disturbed were found. Chu Xiao walked closer to confirm it, and only felt relieved after confirming that those little thieves were indeed ignorant of the value of the property.

He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, fortunately, my ginseng is still there."

If this was taken away, he would be so scared that he wouldn't even be able to cry.

"Let's go back and check." After confirming that there was no problem here, they still had to go back to the thatched hut to check.

However, the two were not so anxious at this moment. After all, they knew that there were not many things inside. The most valuable things were the two iron pots.

Obviously, what he thought came true. Looking at the two big holes on the stove, Chu Xiao was so angry that he laughed: "A thief never leaves empty-handed. Are you not afraid of being seen by others when you carry two pots down the mountain?"

Yan Zhenshen also shook his head helplessly: "It seems that we can only go down the mountain."

Not only is it difficult to cook without a pot, but the kitchen will also be filled with smoke when the fire is lit, otherwise the big hole in the stove will have to be patched up.

Chu Xiao didn't say anything. He checked around again and found that the dishes were still there. Apart from the two pots, what was missing was an old quilt and some old clothes.

A small can of salt, half a pound of sugar and half a bag of grain, but the soy sauce and vinegar were not taken away.

Then there was the paper on the table that Brother Shen used to write notes, even the ones cut into strips were not spared.

As for the rest... well, Chu Xiao usually takes away most of the things he can use when he goes down the mountain, and he leaves those behind in case Yan Zhenshen is left with nothing to use if he doesn't come up with him.

Not only did he not keep much, but most of them were old items, so he didn't feel too sad about throwing them away.

These are his two pots...

The more Chu Xiao thought about it, the angrier he became. Who on earth is this person? How could he even steal someone else's pot?

Chu Xiao stood in the kitchen looking at the ceiling speechlessly. Who could this thief be? If he had to say who he suspected the most, it would be those snake catchers.

After all, basically no one comes to this deep mountain, and the only people I met recently are those three people.

But it doesn’t matter who it is. This time he was careless and thought the person must have left early.

I kept comforting myself, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. His big iron pot...
