When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

"Xiao Beiguo!" Su Xiaowan exclaimed.

Seeing that he had no scruples at all, I instinctively wanted to pull my hand back.

"Don't move Xiaowan, we need to suck out the venom from this centipede."

Xiao Beiguo held her arm, spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and held the back of her hand in his mouth again.

"If you inhale like this, you will get poisoned yourself."

Su Xiaowan couldn't hide her worry. Didn't he even worry about himself?

"It's okay. I'm a grown man, and it won't matter if I get poisoned."

Xiao Beiguo spat out several mouthfuls of blood and let her go only after making sure that there was no problem.

"Stand here. I'll get you some anti-inflammatory herbs to apply."

Su Xiaowan didn't dare to move. She didn't kill the centipede and didn't know where it was hiding.

Her eyes followed Xiao Beiguo and she saw him walk to a distance, pick some grass, and walk towards her.

"This herb has anti-inflammatory properties. You press it and I'll pick it."

Watching Xiao Beiguo crush the herbs and apply them on the back of his hand, Su Xiaowan felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

"Weren't you afraid that the poison might knock you out?"

Although the venom of centipedes is not as toxic as snake venom, it can vary from person to person and cause some problems.

"I didn't think about it that much. I heard Uncle Li say before that some people are allergic to centipede venom, which can be life-threatening in severe cases."

Xiao Beiguo really didn't think about it. When he saw her being bitten, there was only one thought in his mind, which was to suck out the venom.

"Then have you never thought that you might?" Su Xiaowan's chest swelled.

"As long as you are okay, I am okay even if I am poisoned."

Su Xiaowan's eyes suddenly turned red. At this moment, her emotions came over her and she choked up and said, "Xiao Beiguo, why are you so nice to me?"

In her past and present lives, she always felt that Xiao Beiguo treated her more as a responsibility than as love.

It was not until this moment that she firmly believed that he loved her too.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? You are my wife, who else can I protect if I don't protect you?"

Xiao Beiguo pinched her face and said, "Okay, don't worry. Just stand here in the open space. I'll go pick those mushrooms."

"Then be careful, the centipede might still be there."

"Well, I'll be more careful."

Xiao Beiguo took the basket and observed the area around the mushrooms to make sure there were no centipedes before he started picking them.

He picked the fruits very quickly and cleanly, and finished a whole patch in no time.

Seeing that he didn't pick the small ones, Su Xiaowan couldn't help asking, "Are you planning to pick them next time?"

The weather is cold now, will it still be available by then?

"Well, this place is very suitable for mushroom growth. Let the small ones grow. I will come to check it out after a while."

Su Xiaowan uttered an "oh". It was already cool in the mountains and she was wearing thin clothes, so she couldn't help but shiver.

"Is it cold?"

Xiao Beiguo took a few big steps forward and took off the work clothes he was wearing and gave them to her.

"Put it on. Wear more next time you go out. It's even colder in the mountains."

Looking at the thin base layer on him, Su Xiaowan asked worriedly, "You'd better wear it yourself, don't catch a cold."

"It's okay. I'm not cold. I usually wear even less when I'm doing things."

While picking fruits, Xiao Beiguo said, "If you are bored, check if there are any fruits on the wild fruit tree next to it."

"Is it still available at this time?"

As Su Xiaowan spoke, she began to search with her eyes. After a while, she saw a few golden fruits hanging scattered on a tree not far away.

"That's not August bombing."

"It looks like it hasn't been taken away by anyone."

Xiao Beiguo smiled and carried the basket forward. It was full of big, plump and tender fish.

"You know." Su Xiaowan had already walked under the tree and discovered that there were a lot of things hidden inside.

"I found this a while ago. I thought someone had picked it, so I didn't pay much attention. This thing has a lot of seeds, so people who like to eat it like it very much."

Su Xiaowan looked at the golden fruit and swallowed her saliva.

"But it's a bit high, I'm afraid it's hard to pick."

"It's okay, I'll go pick it and you can catch it below."

Xiao Beiguo put down the basket and climbed up the straight tree trunk nimbly, and he was up in a short while.

"You have this skill." Su Xiaowan was a little surprised.

"I have been looking for food in the mountains since I was a child. These are survival skills."

Xiao Beiguo said it casually, but Su Xiaowan felt very sad.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her raise her hand to wipe her eyes, Xiao Beiguo quickly asked, "Did something get into your eyes?"

As he said that, he was about to come down to help her take a look.

"It's okay, pick it quickly, and we'll go back after we're done."

Xiao Beiguo nodded, picked all that could be picked from the trees, then came down, tied the wood into a bundle, and went down the mountain.

On the way back, Su Xiaowan was holding a bag of August fried dumplings, and from time to time she looked at Xiao Beiguo, who was carrying a basket and a large bundle of wood on his back.

"Give me the backpack."

"It's okay. Am I walking too fast?" Xiao Beiguo stopped and turned to look at her.

"No, you're fast. Give me the backpack and go ahead. I'll be right back."

Even though Xiao Beiguo said it was only a few pounds, he is also a human being and will get tired.

"Your man is not that weak. If you are tired, we can rest for a while before we go."

Xiao Beiguo usually has to walk when he goes out to work, he has long been used to it.

"I'm not tired. If you are tired, take a break."

"Then let's go. We still have work to do when we get back."

Seeing that he had already started, Su Xiaowan hurried to follow him, looking at him carrying the wood with his back still straight. For a moment, she felt that she had someone to support her.

When they arrived at Zhang Zhiwei's house, it was already past eleven o'clock. Su Xiaowan didn't see Su Zigui and thought he was being lazy.

"Zhao Di, where is Zi Gui?"

"Sister Xiaowan, Zigui followed Zhiwei to get pig grass."

Su Zhaodi scooped the cooked pig food out of the pot and let it cool down. "Sister Xiaowan, you don't know that Zigui is actually afraid of Zhiwei."

"What do you mean?" Su Xiaowan was a little surprised.

"Didn't Zhiwei ask him to get pig grass before? Zhiwei had already cut a load of pig grass and Zigui hadn't even finished chopping that."

"Zhiwei saw that he was slow to do things, so he took a kitchen knife and said he would chop him up and cook him with the pig food."

"You don't know how scared Zigui was. He chopped the pig grass faster than I did."

Su Xiaowan could guess what the scene was like when she saw Su Zhaodi laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"That's good too. Someone can control him and he'll behave himself here in the future."

"That's not the case. Zigui isn't a bad person, he's just lazy."

After Su Zhaodi finished, she saw Xiao Beiguo coming over with a basket of mushrooms and exclaimed, "So many mushrooms."

"Well, come over for dinner tonight and make something delicious for you."

"Okay, I want to eat boiled fish. Sister Xiaowan, please make it for me tonight. Zhiwei caught two big grass carps early in the morning and kept them in a bucket."

"Okay, I'll take it back later and come over for dinner in the evening."

After returning, Su Xiaowan was about to cook, but Xiao Beiguo pulled her into the room.

"What are you doing?"
