Yan Zhenshen took Chu Xiao home with half a basket of cucumbers. Chu Xiao ate them while walking. The cucumbers were sweet and crispy, and could be eaten as any fruit.

Yan Zhen was afraid that wind would enter his body while he was walking and eating, causing stomachache at night, so he walked very slowly.

"Hey, where are Hunter Yan and his husband doing?"

An auntie standing at the door saw the two of them and greeted them.

"We went to Wang Wu's house, and Luo Ge picked some cucumbers for us." Yan Zhen replied.

Seeing the two holding hands, the aunt thought the couple was quite sweet. Although the marriage didn't look good at the beginning, it was a blessing in disguise. So she smiled and said, "Xiao brother, there are a lot of vegetables in my house. Just come and pick whatever you want to eat."

"Thank you, auntie." Chu Xiao responded with a smile.

Everyone knows that this is just a polite remark. After all, no one's life is necessarily that good. If they can't finish eating the vegetables they grow at home, they will dry them up and save them for winter. They won't let people come and pick them at will.

The aunt watched the two people walk away with a smile, and she actually missed the time when she had just got married. As for now, she felt annoyed just looking at that old man.

After lunch, Chu Xiao asked Yan Zhenshen to carry Taxue to the mountain. When he reached the halfway point and looked around to see that there was no one around, he once again used his mental power to convert the vitality of the plants into life force.

Taxue barked twice, and his voices were much stronger. He no longer lay down, but stood up and circled around Chu Xiao, occasionally nudging him with his head.

No one knew what species this snow-walker was. It was as tall as his waist when standing next to him, and when it nudged him, it nudged him directly on the waist. Chu Xiao was ticklish, so he was very happy every time he nudged him.

"Ming Ge Wang Wu said he wanted to catch rabbits. We plan to go to the West Mountain. Do you want to go with us?" Yan Zhenshen asked.

"Okay, let's call Luo Ge along. He said he would take me to cut mugwort today to repel mosquitoes."

Chu Xiao felt that the mosquitoes here were bullying him as a outsider. It was okay if he didn't go out, but as long as he went to a place with more grass, he would be bitten and the bites would be red and itchy.

At first he tried to bear it, but the itchiness was unbearable, so he could only waste his mental energy to reduce the swelling and relieve the itching, but he felt it was a waste to use his mental energy on such things.

Luo Ge said that dried mugwort can repel mosquitoes, so he naturally wanted to cut some and take it back to try.

"I'll go to the county town to buy you some mosquito repellent incense." Yan Zhenshen felt that he was really wrong for not even noticing that her husband was bitten by mosquitoes.

"Brother Luo told me that the stuff is very expensive and its effect is almost the same as mugwort." Chu Xiao smiled and said, "I want to go cut mugwort."

"Okay, I'll accompany you to cut it." Yan Zhenshen agreed to whatever his husband said.

On the way back, we passed by a bamboo forest. Although the bamboo forest was small, there were many bamboo shoots with their tips exposed, which were very fresh and tender.

Villagers usually like to go to Nanshan to dig bamboo shoots because the bamboo forest there is large and there are many bamboo shoots. However, people are too lazy to come to such small bamboo forests because farmers have to work in the fields all year round, so it is not worth the trip.

Chu Xiao thought of the bamboo shoots fried with bacon he made last time and felt a little greedy. "Brother Shen, there are so many bamboo shoots here. Let's pick them back."

"Okay, I'll go back and get the backpack."

"No need." Chu Xiao held him back. With him around, why would he need a backpack? He smiled and said, "You forgot that I have special abilities."

Yan Zhenshen naturally remembered it. He looked around again, and after making sure that there was no one around, he started to take action.

At this time, Chu Xiao suddenly took out a military shovel and handed it to Yan Zhenshen: "Brother Shen, use this."

Yan Zhenshen was stunned for a moment. Although it was not the first time he saw him create something out of thin air, he was still shocked.

But he was only shocked for a moment, then he took the thing in his hand. The object was not big, but very heavy, and was easy to use.

Summer bamboo shoots are relatively small, but they are more tender than spring and winter bamboo shoots. They need to be picked as soon as they emerge, otherwise they will become old in a few days.

There really weren't many bamboo shoots here, and they were almost all dug out after a quarter of an hour. Yan Zhenshen piled the bamboo shoots together and looked at her husband with childlike curiosity.

Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing as he was stared at. He gently waved his hand above the bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots disappeared instantly.

"How amazing." Yan Zhenshen exclaimed.

Chu Xiao's ears turned red when he was praised. He coughed lightly and explained, "This is the spatial ability. There is a large space in my consciousness, which is about the size of the drying yard at the entrance of the village. I can use my mental power to put things into the space, and I can also take them out at any time."

"Then what kind of supernatural power does the green vine behind you have?" Yan Zhenshen particularly liked that mark. It was so beautiful that it always attracted his attention and made him linger there.

"That's a plant-related ability, and it's also my initial ability. It can accelerate plant growth and transform plant properties. For example, some foods are toxic, but after continuous purification with the plant-related ability, the toxins in the plants themselves can be removed."

"The same principle applies to treating Taxue. I extract the vitality of the plants and transform it into life force."

Yan Zhenshen took his hand and looked at the purple mark on his hand. "Does this represent thunder and lightning?"

"Yes, but my mental strength is too weak now, so it won't have much killing power even if I use it." Chu Xiao curled his lips. He felt that he wouldn't be able to use this lightning power for a year or two.

Yan Zhenshen touched the mark lightly with his finger, then looked up and praised sincerely: "My husband is amazing."

"Of course." Chu Xiao was no longer shy and accepted the compliment without any modesty.

The two men led Taxue for another walk in the mountains, and only decided to go back when it was setting in the west.

At this moment, Taxue suddenly arched his back and rushed out, followed by a rapid clucking sound. Not long after, Taxue ran back with a still struggling pheasant in his mouth.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, Taxue you are awesome." Chu Xiao knew that after two treatments, Taxue could at least recover halfway, but he only thought that he could just run and jump, and never expected that he could even catch wild animals.

Chu Xiao's eyes lit up. He could imagine that Taxue must have been extremely brave before he was injured. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a dog worth a fortune. He was worth it, he was so worth it.

Yan Zhenshen took the pheasant from Taxue's mouth and grabbed the pheasant's wings to prevent it from breaking free. He reached out and gently stroked Taxue's head, his eyes full of joy.

Taxue barked twice, obviously very happy.

Chu Xiao smiled and said, "I'll stew the pheasant tonight and give us the chicken legs to eat in the snow."

The two people and the dog returned home happily.

……

"Hunter Yan."

As soon as the two of them got down the mountain, they saw a short, dark-complexioned man standing at the foot of the mountain. Chu Xiao reacted and recognized that the man was a relative of Li Xiulan, whom Chu Xiaoxiao had seen when she was very young.

He came over anxiously, glanced at Chu Xiao, and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Hunter Yan, my wife had a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth a few days ago. Although her life was saved and she returned home, her body was damaged. Doctor Hu said that she needs ginseng to save her life, otherwise she will not live for more than three months."

The man started to cry as he spoke: "Doctor Hu said you might have ginseng here. I don't need a hundred-year-old one, fifty or sixty years old will do. The ones sold in the clinic are too expensive. One ginseng costs one hundred and fifty taels. I can't afford it even if I sell my house and land."
