After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Seeing this, Liu Yingying immediately understood, so she said, "Brother Ze said that he is yours in life, Brother Ling, and in death, Brother Ling, he is your ghost. He likes you very much... Brother Ling, you must treat him well."

After saying this, she laughed twice. After all, it would be a bit strange for an unmarried girl to meddle in other people's husbands' affairs. Fortunately, there was no one else around...

But Liu Yingying thought, since Ze Ge'er no longer avoided them like before, and was not opposed to their help, this was truly rare.

It also reminded her of the time when Aunt Yun was still alive. Ze Ge'er was pink and tender, took wobbly little steps, and would call her sister in a soft and sweet voice, asking her to hug him. She really missed him.

Liu Yingying lowered her eyelids and fell into deep thought. If Aunt Yun had not saved her mother, their family would have probably been broken apart due to lack of money to buy medicine.

As she thought about it, a determination flashed in Liu Yingying's eyes. This time, she must defend Ze Ge'er's happiness!

What she didn't know was that Ze Ge'er actually liked to give it to them, but he was in the Liu family, and as soon as he accepted it, Li would intensify his traps, and he had no way to deal with it. Over time, he learned to remain silent and keep his distance.

Ling Chuan stared at Liu Yingying with an unclear look in his eyes. He was silent for a long while before nodding, saying "OK" and walking away quickly.

He agreed!

Liu Yingying stared at his departing back with her eyes slightly lit up, and the next moment she smiled happily.

When Lingchuan returned home, he saw the boy boiling water and humming a strange little tune happily. Although the tune was strange, the clear and melodious voice was very pleasant to the ears, and every note seemed to be plucking Lingchuan's heartstrings.

Ling Chuan listened and watched, and couldn't help but pause and stand still.

Because his steps were steady, Xia Mo didn't notice him standing at the kitchen door listening until the firewood in the stove was almost burned out and he turned around to get some firewood.

So Xia Mo smiled at him, looked at the four big bamboo shoots in his hand, and said in surprise: "Oh, these bamboo shoots look quite tender, let me peel them."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chuan stepped forward, brought the bamboo shoots to him, and then went to fetch a wooden bucket.

"Are there still a lot of bamboos in the bamboo forest? Is it public? If there are a lot, let's dig more. I'm free at home anyway, so I can make dried bamboo shoots." Xia Mo muttered.

Ling Chuan's eyes moved slightly, "Okay."

Xia Mo nodded with satisfaction, then picked up a bamboo shoot and peeled it.

The bamboo shoot shell is not difficult to peel. Just cut a circle from the top of the bamboo shoot and then make a vertical cut. It will soon be completely peeled off to reveal the bamboo shoot inside. Then use a knife to cut off the unwanted part of the bamboo shoot root.

Seeing this, Lingchuan also squatted down and peeled another one in an orderly manner.

"Four is a bit too much. We can't finish it in one meal. How about this? We eat one, stew half with rabbit meat and stir-fry the other half, and use the remaining three to pickle sour bamboo shoots." Xia Mo said.

"Ah."

"I have marinated the rabbit meat and prepared all the ingredients. I'll show you my cooking tonight. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again next time after you finish it." Xia Mo didn't mind Ling Chuan's silence and spoke to himself.

Because he was not well fed when he was a child, he paid special attention to food when he grew up and learned a lot of cooking methods. Although he cannot compare with those top chefs, he still has the confidence to conquer the stomachs of ordinary people.

Ling Chuan glanced at Xia Mo and said, "Okay."

He paused, then suddenly added: "I heard that someone from the Liu family is coming. If there is any problem, don't be patient."

Xia Mo blinked in surprise. Was he asking him to fight back if anything happened, or was he meaning that he could complain to him?

"You know? It's okay, she can't do anything to me, and Sister Yingying and Brother Yu are also helping me." As long as they dare to make trouble, he has plenty of ways to deal with them, but...

Ling Chuan stared at him for a while and said "hmm".

Xia Mo glanced at him sideways, and inexplicably felt as if he had been seen through by the other person.

So he immediately lowered his head, put the peeled bamboo shoots into the wooden basin, picked up another one and continued peeling, and changed the subject: "Do you have a bigger jar at home?"

"There are two, one big and one small." Ling Chuan said.

"Where is it? I'll get it and wash it later. Hang it up first and use it when it's dry."

"I'll get it." Ling Chuan put down the knife, stood up and strode towards the inner room. After a while, he came out with two jars.

Xia Mo looked over and asked, "Does this jar have a lid?"

The jar used to soak sour bamboo shoots must be sealed and the oil must be strictly controlled. Then put the cut bamboo shoots in it, pour in boiled and cooled water, seal it well and leave it for a few days.

"some."

Xia Mo nodded, peeled the last bamboo shoot, stood up and fetched a bucket of water from the large vat. The two began to wash the jars, then placed them upside down on the wooden frame.

"Brother Ling, cut these bamboo shoots into this size." Xia Mo compared the size with his hands. He felt very awesome now that he dared to order Ling Chuan around.

Ling Chuan had no objection.

So Xia Mo took the bamboo shoots for making dry pot rabbit to the kitchen. When he thought about eating the delicious dry pot rabbit soon, his hands moved much faster.

A blazing fire was hitting the bottom of the pot. Xia Mo used a spatula to stir the vegetables from time to time. Steam was rising and the fragrance gradually filled the kitchen and drifted outside.

Ling Chuan smelled the fragrance of vegetables outside the yard, but unfortunately there were still some bamboo shoots left to be cut, so he quickened his pace, cut the bamboo shoots, and then strode towards the kitchen.

When he went in, the dry pot rabbit meat had already been taken out of the pot and was placed on the table.

Seeing him come in, Xia Mo immediately offered his courtesy, "Brother Ling, come over and try it." As he spoke, he did not forget to stuff a pair of chopsticks into his hands.

Xia Mo's eyes sparkled. Under his gaze, Ling Chuan picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth. The meat was not tough and had no fishy smell. It was delicious, oily but not greasy, and the light spicy taste stimulated the taste buds. Overall, it was excellent.

"It's delicious." Ling Chuan smiled faintly at Xia Mo.

His smile instantly dissipated the overwhelming aura around him, causing Xia Mo to stare in amazement.

It was really rare. It was the first time he saw him smile after all these days together. Although it was a faint smile, Xia Mo believed his eyes and he was not mistaken.

Tsk tsk, if only he were like this normally, not fierce at all.

"?" Seeing that he hadn't moved his chopsticks, Ling Chuan looked up at him, as if asking a question.

Xia Mo smiled and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

After eating, Xia Mo licked the corner of his mouth: "Mm, it's delicious, I'm really getting better and better."

Wang Po is like selling melons and bragging about herself, and this is exactly the kind of person that Xia Mo is.

Ling Chuan looked at the young man who seemed to be enjoying himself, and his deep gaze involuntarily focused on his lips which were slightly swollen from the spiciness. His eyes darkened in an instant, and he stared for a few moments before quietly turning his head away.

Xia Mo, who was savoring the memory, didn't notice anything at all.

To be honest, Xia Mo's cooking skills were really good. Both of them had good appetites and finished all the food.

After dinner, one of them washed the dishes while the other pickled the bamboo shoots. By the time everything was done, it was already late at night. The stars in the sky were bright and numerous, like a starry pond, with only an immortal fishing in them.

Such a beautiful starry sky is very rare in modern times with serious environmental pollution. Xia Mo glanced at the stars and lowered his brows. The affairs of the Liu family could not be rushed, but he could put them aside for the time being. He couldn't help but come up with other ideas in his mind.

He turned his head to look at Ling Chuan, "Brother Ling, when are you and the village chief going to the city?"
