The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

In the Great Xia Dynasty, common people were not allowed to reclaim land at will. If they wanted to reclaim wasteland, they had to go to the government office to apply, and only after approval could they do so. They also had to cultivate the land for three years before the government office would issue a land deed, and naturally they would start collecting taxes.

If the land is not reclaimed after application, a fine will be imposed. Moreover, it is impossible for someone without the strength to reclaim wasteland.

As for them, in these deep mountains and old forests, as long as they don't dig up half of the mountain, the people in the government office won't care.

Yan Zhenshen dug for two days and only cleared out about an acre of land, while Chu Xiao also cleaned up the land in front of the yard.

Before dark, Chu Xiao planted all the angelica in the ground, watered it, and used his mental power to stimulate its growth, which also helped the angelica to adapt to the new living environment more quickly.

Then he scattered the vegetable seeds in the front yard. Since there were still vegetables in the space and he was not in a hurry to eat them, Chu Xiao ignored them and let them take root, sprout and grow slowly.

As for the weeds that were turned over and the tree roots that were dug out, Yan Zhenshen spread them aside and after drying them for two days, they could be burned as firewood.

Chu Xiao stood on the slope and watched the small white flowers swaying in the wind. He felt a sense of accomplishment. This was the first piece of land he had planted in this place, and there would be more and more in the future.

The land was dug, and Yan Zhenshen was going to go hunting in the mountains again. While eating breakfast, he asked Chu Xiao, "Are you going to look for herbs today?"

Chu Xiao nodded: "Go for a walk."

"Then don't walk too far. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Don't tire yourself out." Yan Zhenshen thought for a moment and said, "I'll also keep an eye out for you and dig it up for you if I find it."

"Do you know any herbs?" Chu Xiao asked excitedly.

Yan Zhenshen felt a little embarrassed when his husband stared at him with his piercing eyes. He really didn't know any herbs, but he couldn't show his weakness in front of his husband, so he said, "At least I know ginseng and angelica."

Chu Xiao thought that he could really recognize some herbs. After all, his brother Shen gave him the feeling that there was nothing he didn't know in the deep mountains. He thought about asking him for advice, but it turned out that he didn't know as much as he did.

Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing: "Okay, as long as I know ginseng."

Yan Zhenshen felt that he was being laughed at by his husband, but he had no way to refute it. After dinner, he packed up the things he needed for hunting, put the black-faced steamed buns into his waist bag and prepared to leave.

Chu Xiao stopped him and pushed the hot white flour buns in the pot in front of him: "Take this."

Yan Zhenshen shook his head: "Save this for you to eat."

Chu Xiao knew that Yan Zhenshen was good to him, but how could he run in the mountains all day and hunt for prey just to eat those nutritionless black-faced steamed buns? He wanted to earn money so much just to make the people who cared about him live a good life.

"We all eat white flour buns. From now on we are not allowed to eat the black flour buns that are unpalatable and irritating to the throat." Chu Xiao took out the bun from Yan Zhenshen's waist bag without saying a word, and wrapped the white flour bun and put it back.

"I'll use this to feed the chickens later." Chu Xiao looked up at the man and said those words deliberately in anger.

But after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to be angry. After all, the family situation was not very good, so he changed his tone and said, "Wait a month for the angelica to mature and then sell it for money. There is no need to worry about not having money to eat well at home."

Yan Zhenshen felt the warmth of the steamed buns in his pocket, and his heart was also warm. His husband was good to him and their whole family, which made him very happy. So what? White flour. If he worked harder, he could afford white flour.

Yan Zhenshen couldn't hide the heat in his heart, he held the back of her husband's head and kissed him.

Chu Xiao was still surprised after being kissed. Although this guy was not very well behaved when he went to bed at night, this was the first time he was kissed in the kitchen in broad daylight.

His brother Shen is indeed getting worse and worse.

After their lips and teeth parted, Yan Zhenshen was a little reluctant, but he still went out with the hound.

Chu Xiao stood at the door and watched the man walk further and further away, then he bent down and touched Taxue's head: "How about we go to the west to take a look today?"

Ta Xue barked twice as a reply.

Brother Shen said there were wolves in the West Mountain, but Chu Xiao was not particularly afraid. He would meditate when he had nothing to do. He was struck by lightning twice, and his mental strength improved a lot.

Although it is less than 20% of his strength in the previous life, it is still no problem to deal with a few wolves. Besides, why should he fight against the wolf pack? Isn't it better to just go around them?

After the sun comes out, a little sunlight shines sparsely through the gaps between the leaves. Occasionally, birds singing can be heard in the quiet forest, and sometimes birds on the trees will fly by inadvertently.

If you are a timid person, you might get scared.

Not long after Chu Xiao walked out, he saw a large patch of water spinach, which is also a kind of wild vegetable that likes to grow in places with plenty of water. Chu Xiao picked one and tasted it. It was a little bitter, but it tasted good when fried.

Chu Xiao took out a large basket and started picking. When the basket was full, the water lettuce was almost picked.

Further ahead is a small stream. It is not very big and you can cross it in one step. However, the water is very clear and you can faintly see small fish as long as fingers swimming by.

The stream flows from west to east, and he thought the wolves should be located upstream.

Chu Xiao changed direction to avoid the route where the stream passed.

Along the way, Chu Xiao would pick any mushrooms he saw that he was familiar with, and would try to taste any fruits he saw that he didn't recognize. If they tasted good, he would pick more, and if they didn't taste good, he would just leave them alone.

As he walked, he saw a dead tree. It had obviously been dead for many years, but it still stood there standing tall.

Chu Xiao walked around curiously and saw a lot of purple-black semi-fan-shaped fungi at the root of the dead tree. They were about the size of his brother Shen’s palm, concave in the middle, and had a little bit of luster?

He curiously leaned closer to take a look. Chu Xiaoxiao didn't have any memory of it, and Brother Shen had never mentioned it, but his intuition told him that it was a good thing.

He used his plant-related abilities to conduct a preliminary screening of it and felt that it had medicinal value.

Chu Xiao curled his lips and thought, no matter what it is, he would pick it first.

There were more than a dozen of these fungi growing on the dead tree. Chu Xiao used a military shovel to pick a few of them down. He looked at them carefully but couldn't figure out what they were. He decided to take them to Doctor Hu after going down the mountain. If they were medicinal herbs, he could grow some of them.

Although he didn't know what this thing was used for, Chu Xiao was very happy to get something from it.

He walked a few miles further west, picked some more mushrooms, and found a lot of wood ears. However, these wood ears grew on trees. Not only was he out of reach, he also couldn't climb trees.

But this did not pose a problem for him. He grew a vine that wrapped around the branch and with a strong swing he jumped onto the tree.

Taxue, who was standing under the tree, saw him climb up the tree and barked anxiously.

Chu Xiao shouted to him soothingly: "Be good, I'm going to pick some fungus, you wait for me downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Taxue stood quietly under the tree, but her eyes were staring at him, as if she was afraid that he would fall down by accident.

Chu Xiao couldn't help but sigh that Taxue was really smart.

It swung back and forth on the tree, and the vines were almost broken.

There are quite a lot of wood ears on this piece, and if dried it should weigh more than ten pounds. If he didn't have the space, he wouldn't be able to take it back.

Chu Xiao took a look at his messy space. There was a pile of mushrooms here, a pile of wood ears there, and a pile of bamboo shoots next to it. He thought he should build a shelf and he would need a lot of backpacks and rattan baskets.

Otherwise, if you just put things like this randomly, not only will it be hard to find things, but I'm afraid there won't be enough space to store too many things.
