The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Yan Zhenshen did not sleep well last night. He kept waking up from time to time to check if his husband was feeling unwell. Seeing that his husband was sleeping soundly, he fell asleep peacefully, but would wake up again after a while to check.

He went through this and that until dawn, he got up, went to the woodshed to confirm that the doe was still alive, and then looked carefully at the roe deer that had eaten the fruit yesterday and found that it was still very energetic. Only then did he feel relieved.

I went to the kitchen to make breakfast, tied the mouth of the bag with the remaining rice and flour with a rope, put the rice, flour, grain and oil into a large box and locked it up to prevent any animals from coming in and destroying them as there was no one on the mountain.

By the time Chu Xiao got up and they had finished their meal, the sun had already risen. Because Chu Xiao's space could not hold living things, he had to carry the pheasant and the half-dead doe down the mountain.

Yan Zhenshen placed the ice bucket containing the five-step snake at the bottom, then stuffed the five or six pheasants in it, and finally tied the doe to the backpack.

Chu Xiao was responsible for leading the two silly roe deer. When going down the mountain, Yan Zhenshen was carrying a heavy object and had to hold her husband's hand with one hand.

But if Chu Xiao couldn't keep up with Yan Zhenshen's pace, the doe behind him would bump into Chu Xiao's head, and the two of them would have no choice but to walk on their own.

The two roe deer in Chu Xiao's hands were very obedient at first, but as they walked, they might have become hungry and would eat the fresh grass when they saw it. No matter how Chu Xiao pulled them, they refused to move.

Only after running back through the snow to help drive away these two idiots will they move.

So after walking for half an hour, the two stopped to rest. Yan Zhenshen put down the backpack, took the rope from Chu Xiao and tied it to a big tree, letting them find grass to eat by themselves.

Chu Xiao also went to look at the doe. At this moment, the doe was breathing more than it was breathing out: "Brother Shen, it's going to die."

"Yeah." Yan Zhenshen responded, "It's okay. Even if they die, they can still be sold for money. The price will just be lower."

Chu Xiao reached out and touched the doe, then turned around and asked, "How much difference would that make?"

"This female deer weighs about 150 kilograms. If it's alive, it can be sold for ten taels of silver. If it's dead, it's about six or seven taels."

Although Yan Zhenshen has been in the mountains all year round, he rarely catches adult deer, mainly because they run too fast and it is not easy to catch them. He did catch fawns a few times. Although the meat of fawns is more delicious, one only weighs about ten or twenty kilograms, so giving them two or three taels is a high price.

When Chu Xiao heard that he was actually short of three or four taels of silver, how could that be possible? So he said, "I'll save its life."

Before Yan Zhenshen could refuse, he stretched out his hand and began to absorb the vitality of nearby plants, transforming it into life force and transferring it into the doe's body.

But after just a few seconds he removed his hand from the doe.

Yan Zhenshen was a little surprised: "You are so fast this time?"

"It's just to save his life, not to treat him." Chu Xiao said: "It's just to live two or three days longer."

Yan Zhenshen: “…” He felt that his husband was sometimes very kind, as if he liked all small animals, and sometimes a little cruel. He didn’t care whether the doe was living in pain now, and he tried to extend her life for a few more days in order to sell her at a high price.

However, Yan Zhenshen did not think there was anything wrong with this. It is true that one cannot be always kind.

After the silly roe deer had eaten its fill and lay on the ground to rest, Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao continued on their journey.

The two arrived home before noon. Zhao Guizhi was cooking in the kitchen, and Yan Zhengdao was still sitting under the eaves weaving a rattan basket. Sanmei and Xiaobei were not at home.

Yan Zhengdao saw the two men coming back with two silly roe deer and said with a smile, "You're back. This Xiao brother is really lucky. He followed the boss up the mountain and actually killed so many big guys."

Chu Xiao felt a little embarrassed by what he said and couldn't help complaining in his heart. He followed Brother Shen for two days but he only shot a few pheasants and didn't even catch a rabbit.

When Zhao Guizhi heard the noise and came out, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face when she saw so many wild animals. Not to mention anything else, just this doe was enough for the whole family to eat for a year.

What's more, Yan Zhengdao didn't cough all the time last time he went up the mountain with me. I'm afraid I can save a lot of money on medicine in the future, maybe even have some left over.

Zhao Guizhi smiled and said, "You're right. This Xiao Ge'er is our lucky star. You see, the old Taoist priest said that luck comes from the east. Isn't this village to our southeast?"

When Yan Zhenshen heard his mother's words, he subconsciously looked towards Beishan. Chu Xiao was clearly in Beishan when he was struck by lightning.

However, he would not refute Zhao Guizhi's words, he also felt that his husband was his lucky star.

I had planned to go directly to the county town to sell these wild animals today, but my husband said that the doe would not die in two or three days, so there was no need to rush. It would be easier to sell it if I went early tomorrow morning.

He put all the wild animals into the woodshed.

Chu Xiao also followed him into the woodshed, took a lot of winnowing baskets, and led Zhao Guizhi to the kitchen: "Mom, let me show you what I have harvested."

Putting the dustpans on the ground one by one, Chu Xiao started to take things out.

First there were mushrooms that almost filled a winnowing basket, followed by wood ears, water spinach, bamboo shoots, various wild vegetables, and a lot of fruits.

The four dustpans were filled to the brim.

Zhao Guizhi was shocked: "Did you pick all these?"

Chu Xiao nodded, then shook his head: "Brother Shen and I picked some wild vegetables and mushrooms together."

Then he took out a cloth bag filled with half a bag of dried fungus: "I dried this yesterday afternoon."

"Brother Xiao, you are so amazing." Zhao Guizhi didn't know what to say. Let alone Chu Xiao alone, even three or four people might not be able to collect so many things in just a few days.

Just when Zhao Guizhi didn't know how to praise this lucky little star in the family, she heard someone outside the door shouting, "Yan family, is your eldest son back?"

Hearing that the voice belonged to Wang Wu's mother, Zhao Guizhi quickly whispered to Chu Xiao: "I'll go out and take a look. You put these things away first."

Zhao Guizhi looked back every few steps as she walked out, afraid of being seen by outsiders, and even closed the kitchen door when she left.

Chu Xiao found it a little funny. It would only take him a blink of an eye to collect these things. The other person was still outside the door, so how could he see anything?

Yan Zhengdao, who was sitting under the eaves, responded, "Yes, he is back. Is there something that Wang's sister-in-law wants to see him about?"

At this time, Yan Zhenshen also came out from the woodshed and greeted her, "Aunt Wang."

"Well, the main reason I came here this time was to ask you if you are going to the county town tomorrow."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "My son Wang Wu went to the capital with his second sister and second brother-in-law to do some work a few days ago. Luo Ge has been vomiting everything he eats these past two days. I was thinking of taking him to the county town to find a doctor."

"But the two children of his second sister are still with me, and I can't leave. Let his father go. He is tongue-tied and can't explain clearly. I just happened to hear that you guys are back, so I thought that you guys should drive my ox cart there tomorrow and take Luo Ge to see Doctor Hu."

When Zhao Guizhi heard that she vomited everything she ate, she walked up to the Queen Mother with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Are you pregnant?"

The Queen Mother couldn't suppress her smile: "It's hard to say, but I think so."
