The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

When he got home, the fish in the bucket were half dead, so Yan Zhenshen put them in the water tank on the other side of the vegetable garden. The crabs and eels were very tenacious, so he just left them in the wooden barrel and ignored them.

The prawns blanched in water were very delicious. Chu Xiao gave one to each hound, even the wolf cub, and carefully tore it into small pieces.

Dahuang and Dahei were not particularly welcoming to the new member of the family. They always bared their teeth and made threatening gestures, but were always yelled back by Taxue.

After dinner, Yan Zhenshen went out. He had bad luck yesterday and only caught a few pheasants. He also shot a tit but it was bitten to death by a rhubarb. However, he did see a fox and could hunt a few to make a cloak or jacket for his husband in winter.

Foxes are territorial animals. They move around within their own territory, usually in small groups, but they mostly move alone when they go out to forage for food.

So if you see one once, you can probably see it again nearby, but foxes are mostly active at night and are rarely seen during the day.

Yan Zhenshen had hunted foxes in previous years, but most of the foxes on this mountain were mixed-hair foxes, and their skins could not be sold at much price. If he could come across one with pure red or silver hair, the price would be very high, at least several dozen taels per fox.

Yan Zhenshen has always been very careful when hunting, so he would never run around in this old forest at night. He was afraid that the fox would not see him, and then he would encounter a wild boar, a tiger or a wolf, and he would definitely lose his life.

In the past, I cherished my life because I had a family to support. Now that I have a husband, I have to be even more careful. After all, my life has just gotten better and I can’t let it get ruined again.

However, there are no signs of large wild animals here, so he could wait for two days and try his luck. He doesn't want a pure-colored fox, so getting four or five mixed-haired foxes will be enough, which will also keep his husband from suffering from the cold in winter.

So that night Yan Zhenshen went home and said that he planned not to come back for the next two nights. Chu Xiao found it novel to hear that he was going fox hunting and insisted on going with him, pretending to be scared of being alone at night.

Yan Zhenshen had no choice but to agree, but the forest was densely wooded and it was damp and cold at night, so he had to make some preparations if he wanted to take his husband to stay in the mountains at night.

Three or four days passed like this. Chu Xiao dug up most of the herbs in the valley. He went deeper and found several beehives. The wild bees were very powerful, and he didn't have the courage to dig out the hives.

He quickly collected one and put it into the space. As for the fact that living things could not be placed in the space, he did not care. He was afraid of being discovered by other wild bees, so he collected it and ran away. Fortunately, the beehive suddenly disappeared and the wild bees did not react for a while, allowing him to escape the fate of being in trouble.

The temperature in the valley is much cooler than outside. It is only the beginning of autumn, but many leaves have begun to turn yellow. Even many of the hazelnuts in the hazelnut forest that Chu Xiao discovered are ripe.

Peel off the green outer skin and you will see a hard shell inside. Bit the thumb-sized flesh with your teeth and it is crispy and delicious. It tastes even better if you dry it and stir-fry it in a pan. Even in winter, if you take it to the market to sell it, it will cost four or five cents per pound.

In the past, Chu Xiaoxiao would take time to pick some and secretly hide them to eat as snacks in the winter.

The mountains are rich in resources, and Chu Xiao thought that he would come over in a few days to collect them all. It would be best if he could fill up his space before winter comes. Even if he couldn't exchange all of them for silver, he would feel more at ease knowing that there was enough food in the space.

Normally, he would rush in and out to dig herbs, but today it was still early, so Chu Xiao walked around the valley again.

Chu Xiao took a stick and knocked on the half-man-high grass in front of him to prevent any unknown snakes or insects from entering. However, this attracted a group of pheasants with golden-red feathers and long tails to flee in all directions. Before Chu Xiao could make a move, Taxue had already rushed out.

Chu Xiao had been digging herbs here for several days, and hadn't seen any wild animals except wild bees and mosquitoes. He didn't expect that he would poke a pheasant's nest with just a casual poke.

Over there, he pounced on the pheasants left and right in the snow, easily killing two pheasants and injuring another one. When he saw that the other pheasants had run away, he barked twice.

Chu Xiao wanted to go over, but when he parted the grass, he saw several nests of pheasant eggs, some with five or six, some with more than a dozen. Although they were not as big as domestic eggs, it was pleasing to see so many of them together.

Chu Xiao searched again and found more than seventy eggs in total, which was not a small number. He took out a rattan basket, directly pad the bottom of the basket with the hay from pheasant nests, and carefully placed the pheasant eggs in it. Then he carried the basket to pick up the two pheasants that were bitten to death.

After putting the wicker basket back into the space, he touched Taxue's head, picked up the pheasant with its wing bitten and prepared to go back.

The sky was a bit gloomy today, and it was noticeably hot when we got out of the valley, but Chu Xiao was in a good mood. After all, he had a good harvest in the past few days, and the three acres of newly reclaimed land were almost fully planted.

There was no need to rush back today, so he picked some mushrooms under a pine forest halfway through the journey. Yan Zhenshen had previously told him which ones were edible, so he just picked the ones he recognized and soon had filled half a basket.

He didn't think it was too little. After all, Zhao Guizhi said that after the next autumn rain, the crops in the fields would be ready for harvest. At that time, the mushrooms in the mountains would grow more and better. Then wolfberry, pepper, chestnut and walnut would also mature. That would be the real harvest time.

Chu Xiao came back early today. When he went to the river to wash clothes, he took the wolf cub with him and washed it. The little thing had been drinking delicious fish soup these days, but it always got it all over its body, with a fishy smell that always attracted flies and insects flying around it.

The wolf cub didn't like water. As soon as it was put into the river, it struggled and cried non-stop. However, Chu Xiao completely ignored it and rubbed the soap beads on it again and again, determined to wash the stinky wolf cub into a fragrant smelling one.

After washing it and wrapping the aggrieved wolf cub in linen, the little thing stopped whimpering.

However, the hunting dogs at home all like playing in water. As soon as Taxue arrived at the river, they jumped into the water and swam around. When they saw Chu Xiao was going back, they also climbed out of the river, shook off their long hair, and slowly followed Chu Xiao back.

When Yan Zhenshen came back in the evening, Chu Xiao fried a plate of pheasant eggs he had picked up today and made some mushroom soup.

Today, both of them came back early. After dinner, before it got completely dark, Chu Xiao asked Yan Zhenshen to deal with the two pheasants that were bitten to death, and take out the wild beehive at the same time.

Just as Chu Xiao said, living things could not be kept in his space. Along with the beehive, there was also a group of wild bees whose cause of death was unknown.

Yan Zhenshen didn't know what to say when he saw the densely packed wild bees falling on the ground. It took him a long time to utter: "If you want to eat honey in the future, call me to get it."

Chu Xiao nodded hesitantly, swept the wild bees together and fed them to the pheasants. At least this way they would die a worthy death.
