The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

No one knows whether Chu Lao Er will suddenly go to the authorities to file a complaint, but whether he goes or not, it will not delay the two of them from going up the mountain.

Early the next morning, Chu Xiao yawned and followed Yan Zhenshen out. This time, Chu Xiao brought not only Dahuang and Dahei, but also Taxue, so that he could provide treatment for it at any time.

Zhao Guizhi got up even earlier, and made pancakes as usual. This time, she also boiled a few eggs. "Eat if you're hungry on the way. Walk slowly. You won't be busy cooking when you get to the mountain. I've prepared enough food for you tonight. Take a good rest for a day and don't get too tired."

Chu Xiao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, mother. Don't worry, Brother Shen will take care of me. It's still early, go back to sleep."

"Mom, I will take good care of my husband." Yan Zhenshen promised very seriously, and then he picked up the backpack. However, the backpack was very light today. It only contained a few sets of clothes, pancakes and eggs his mother brought for him, and a longbow, and nothing else.

If it was as Chu Xiao said, and he had the space, the two of them could go up the mountain empty-handed.

But Yan Zhenshen and Zhao Guizhi disagreed. Although they went out early, they would not always meet people. It would be better to carry something as a cover.

Zhao Guizhi saw them off. After walking for a while, Chu Xiao looked back and saw Zhao Guizhi still standing there. He waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "Mom, go back to sleep. We'll be back in a few days."

"Hey, walk slower." She was used to the eldest brother going up the mountain usually, but she was a little worried about bringing Xiao Ge'er with him this time. It is said that people treat each other with sincerity.

Xiao Ge'er treats them as family members, and now she also feels that they are her own children, and even cares about them more than her own children.

Taxue hadn't been out for many years. He was very excited to go up the mountain this time. He barked and disappeared in a short while. Naturally, the two hunting dogs followed behind him.

But it only had fun for a while, then ran back and followed Chu Xiao obediently. If it encountered potholes or branches broken by the wind, it would lead him around them in advance.

He walked and stopped along the way, and sat down to rest for a while when he was tired. When he saw beautiful wild flowers, he would pick them and stick them into the long hairs of Taxue. Taxue didn't think anything and just let him put the flowers on himself.

Sometimes when he saw some familiar herbs, he would dig some. This time he was lucky as he encountered pheasants as soon as he entered the mountains. Yan Zhenshen had no intention of catching them alive, so he shot two with two arrows.

Chu Xiao was very happy and vowed that he would make chicken soup for Brother Shen tonight.

Taxue seemed to want to show off as well. He barked twice and ran quickly in one direction. When he came back, he was holding a snake in his mouth. The snake was more than four feet long. He was still trying to struggle while being held in the mouth. The snake's tail almost entangled Taxue's mouth.

Chu Xiao is not afraid of snakes, but he doesn't necessarily like them that much either. But no matter what, it is an achievement of walking on snow, so he has to be praised.

"It's great to walk in the snow." As he said this, he was about to reach out to take it, but Yan Zhenshen grabbed his hand.

"This is a five-step snake, it's extremely poisonous, don't touch it."

Yan Zhenshen observed Taxue and confirmed that he was not bitten before asking Chu Xiao: "Do you have a cloth bag?"

"It seems like there is. Let me take a look." Chu Xiao searched the space again, but he didn't see the empty cloth bag. Instead, he had sealed barrels of various sizes in his toolbox in the apocalypse.

He picked one up at random and handed it to Yan Zhenshen: "Is this okay? But if you need a living thing, this lid can't be closed tightly, otherwise the living thing will suffocate to death."

"Okay." Yan Zhenshen took the bucket that he had never seen before. It looked like iron but not like iron. After opening it, he had no idea what the inside was made of. It actually gave off a slight chill.

He looked at Chu Xiao with some confusion, and Chu Xiao immediately explained: "This is an ice bucket made of a special material. It can keep the temperature below zero at any time. It is also highly resistant to corrosion. Its main function is to preserve mutant plants."

"Zero degree? Corrosive?" Yan Zhenshen didn't understand these two words.

"Well, in winter, when it's almost frozen but not completely frozen, it's zero degrees. Corrosiveness is like when a poisonous snake bites someone, the wound will become inflamed, so this should also be counted."

Chu Xiao felt that his explanation was a mess, but the miracle was that Yan Zhenshen actually understood. He did not continue to ask questions, but carefully placed the five-step snake into the ice bucket and gently closed the lid, leaving a gap of about one finger.

In order to ensure that the five-step snake would not crawl out, it was wrapped with rattan ropes several times: "The five-step snake's gallbladder is collected by the clinic, and some people like to buy the whole one to soak in wine."

Chu Xiao nodded: "Is this thing valuable?"

"If you sell the snake gallbladder alone, you'll get about seven or eight coins. If you sell the whole snake, you'll get one or two coins."

Chu Xiao nodded. He felt that this was already very valuable. He quickly rubbed Taxue's head and said, "Taxue, you are really amazing."

With two sounds of barking on the snow, he led the way in a heroic and proud manner.

Yan Zhenshen did not return the ice bucket to Chu Xiao. He didn't know what Chu Xiao's so-called space structure was like. If the snake accidentally ran out, it would be dangerous.

Chu Xiao didn't take it either. After all, anything placed in his space would be in a static state and no living things could be placed in it.

Yan Zhenshen put the bundled buckets into his backpack and said as he walked, "He is very good at catching snakes in the snow, especially in winter, he can dig out hibernating snakes."

"I was young at that time and was almost bitten by a snake once. Taxue rushed over and bit the snake into several pieces. Later, he would catch poisonous snakes when he saw them, but he would kill them at first. Then, I caught a live snake and put it in a cloth bag, and he started catching live snakes."

Chu Xiao looked at Taxue walking in front and said with emotion: "It's really smart."

"Well, it's very smart." Yan Zhenshen took his husband's hand and said, "It has saved me many times, so thank you, thank you for saving it."

Chu Xiao was not used to being thanked so solemnly, and her face was a little red, but she still said proudly: "I saved it because I like it, not entirely because of you."

Yan Zhenshen did not expose his duplicity, but held his hand even tighter.

They walked and stopped like this, and it would have taken Yan Zhenshen two hours to reach the thatched cottage by himself, but they arrived in the afternoon.

Chu Xiao felt a little tired when he arrived at the thatched hut, but he couldn't just rest right away. If no one took care of the yard in the deep mountains for three to five days, the yard would be covered with fallen leaves. Moreover, it took so long this time, and it looked really desolate and dilapidated.

The water tank in the yard was extremely turbid, and the bedding in the room, although kept in a box, had rained a lot recently, so when the box was opened it smelled musty.

Yan Zhenshen naturally noticed all this. He swept the yard first, and Chu Xiao took apart the bedding, threw the sheets into the washing basin, and then took them out to dry.

After Yan Zhenshen finished sweeping the yard and went to the kitchen to get some water and started cleaning the water tank, Chu Xiao asked, "Where are you going to wash the clothes? I washed these sheets."

"Wash it tomorrow." Yan Zhenshen looked at the sun and said, "I'm afraid it won't dry if I wash it now."

"Throw it on the kang in the east room. I need to light a fire anyway, and the room is too damp." Chu Xiao said, "Lead me the way, and we can pick up some dry firewood. Let's go to the river to wash the water tank."

As he said that, he moved the water tank that Yan Zhenshen had used to wash halfway into the space.

Yan Zhenshen stared at his hand that was holding the water jar and smiled helplessly.
