The division of labor was reasonable, and the two of them were not people who spoke little. Although Cheng Huzhong could never win against Huang Yi, he still couldn't help but provoke him. Afterwards, he was angered, and the two began to play around, enjoying the show.
"What do you think is the relationship between Ye Xuan and Jiao Niang?" Huang Yi rubbed his smooth chin, still feeling a bit uncomfortable. However, the little girl insisted that his beard affected his image too much, forcing him to shave it away. How long had he been wandering? He was thin and had a beard that made him look like an old goat.
Cheng Huzhong was still thinking that he looked like a fifteen to sixteen year old kid just now, so he couldn't tell that the father of the two kids was angry. Hearing his gossip, he couldn't help but retort, "You can't even tell that? Aren't you a swindler?"
"They have an interest in each other, and they have a tacit understanding of each other, but why do I still feel like there's a barrier between them?"
Ye Xuan didn't do anything else every day, just helping his daughter out. The two of them didn't talk about money and looked like they were part of the family, but in reality, the villagers didn't dare to say anything about it. Even Huang Yi had heard people talking about their relationship more than once.
"If you want me to say that I have a relationship with my concubine, why don't we get married straight away? Save others from idle chatter. "
"You don't know about this, right?" Huang Yi had come earlier than Cheng Yizhong, so there were some things he didn't know about. Cheng Huzhong was a little pleased with himself as he told Huang Yi about the vow he had made with Lin Lanzhi, and Huang Yi immediately understood, "So that's all. Is it still not going to be solved?" I have a way to deal with it! "
"Quick, tell us what it is!" Cheng Huzhong was happier than if he had heard any news. These days, he had long since treated his little sister as his own family. Moreover, he planned to follow her from now on. If not, he had to get closer to her.
The little girl didn't know that someone was worrying about her marriage. She followed closely behind Ye Xuan. The two of them held hands as they walked along the small forest road.
Although it was difficult, it wasn't. Ye Xuan seemed to be familiar with this place. Even though the road that he walked on was overgrown with weeds, one could still see the traces of a person's footsteps.
"This is the path I usually use when I go up the mountain to hunt. The older generation once said that this mountain stretches for thousands of miles. No one knows what is hidden deep in the mountain. We must be careful."
Ye Xuan's voice was low, and he had a large blade by his waist. He looked extremely serious.
Although he came and went freely in the deep mountains, he still felt worried about being followed by his daughter.
Knowing that he was worried about her, the cute girl drew a circle in his palm, "I will be good. We won't go deep into the mountains, we'll just take a stroll outside."
The thought of protecting his little sister from injury kept torturing him. In reality, his little sister was a smart person, so even if something were to happen, he was confident that he'd be able to escape.
After calming down, Ye Xuan realized the beauty of the forest. The lady would ask what an unfamiliar plant it was when she saw it, and Ye Xuan would even be able to answer.
In the mountains, there was a type of thorny plant. It was filled with sharp thorns, but the plant was thinking of red fruits inside. They were alluring and alluring under the sunlight.
"What is this? It looks very tasty. " The little girl was drooling at the side, trying to pry open the brambles with a stick and pluck them for a taste.
"This is called the Thorny Fruit." Ye Xuan stopped her hand, and with his bare hands, he pinched a thorn. He pushed the branch away, and nimbly plucked out a bunch of Thorny Fruits.
The cute girl didn't wash them and directly stuffed them into her mouth. There wasn't a single core on the fingernail-sized fruit. She fed Ye Xuan a sweet juice that melted immediately from her mouth. "You eat one too. Don't pick it. Just taste it."
As she said that, the cute girl noticed some Thorny Fruits that had fallen on the grass and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! So many of them fell to the ground!"
Looking at her childlike expression, Ye Xuan chuckled. "Those are the leftovers from the porcupine's meal. Don't go and take them. I'll pick them for you."
"No, no, no. I don't eat it. Actually, it's not very tasty either." The cute girl pretended not to care and hurriedly pulled Ye Xuan up. "There are still a lot of things in the mountains waiting for us to discover. Don't worry about this thorn."
Ye Xuan couldn't force her, so he could only stand up and follow her. He secretly thought to himself that he'd give it to her in the future.
She had been here for so long, but she had only eaten apricots before. The peaches were still unripe, and compared to the fruits of her past life, she could be said to have eaten most of the fruits in the world, making it difficult for her to stand.
Thinking about the taste of the fruit just now, the little girl was still madly drooling. However, she couldn't bear to see Ye Xuan hurt while picking the fruit, so she had no choice but to give up.
The two of them continued forward. With Ye Xuan by her side, the little girl even had the feeling that she was strolling around the botanical garden …
The more they walked up the mountain, the more plants they encountered that they didn't recognize, and even some unknown fruits. This made the lady even more certain that she had returned to the ancient times, a dynasty that had never existed before in history. Although it was similar to the history she knew from her previous life, it was more like a parallel dimension.
When the lady came, she moved the basket on her back to Ye Xuan. Every time she knew a plant, the lady would pause to ponder if there were any other uses for it. One of them was to store some plants in the basket as well.
There was a kind of red flower, the delicate petals were extremely red, and if you broke it a little, the hand would be stained with red, and if you messed around it might be a good dye. The little girl picked some and prepared to go back and do some experiments.
The outside skin was a little numb, and it was very hard. Ye Xuan pinched it open, and when Ye Xuan's dainty mother smelled it, she licked her tongue for a long time. That smell was very familiar, but the dainty woman couldn't figure out what it was, so she also gathered some and put them into the basket.
In her previous life, she was a northerner who liked to eat and release chili peppers. Ever since she had come here, other than spring onions and garlic, there were very few spices that could cook, much less chili peppers. Over time, birds would fade from her mouth.
There were also some not too expensive herbs. As long as the lady thought that they had some other uses, she would pick some and put them into the basket, preparing to take them home for research.
Without realizing it, half a day had passed. The little girl's stomach had been protesting nonstop. The sun had risen to its highest point and the forest had become stuffy. "Let's find a place to eat first." The little girl suggested.
He didn't feel tired when he was looking for rare items. It was only when he was in the woods that the lady felt the pain in her foot. She reckoned that there was a blister on her foot.
Hearing the sound of flowing water, the cute girl didn't want to leave and directly suggested having lunch by the stream. Ye Xuan could only agree.
Pushing apart the trees, the crystal clear stream snaked in front of him. The riverbank was filled with pebbles, and when the sun shined on the stream, one could even see fish swimming about in it.
The little girl cheered and rushed over. She reached into the stream, but was shocked by the temperature of the water. "Why is the water so cold?"
"It's said that this water is flowing from the top of a snowy mountain. Naturally, it's cold." Ye Xuan bent over and washed his face with water before wiping his face with his clothes. He looked towards the forest and asked, "Do you want to eat grilled fish?"
Of course I want to! The little girl repeatedly nodded her head, her eyes seemed to hide stars. She had never experienced this kind of life before.
Ye Xuan chuckled. He snapped a branch from the tree and took out a dagger to sharpen the tail.
She took off her shoes and socks and sat on a large rock downstream, soaking her foaming feet in the river. Ye Xuan took off his outer robe, shoes, socks, and pants. His pants rolled up to his calves as he stood in the river, holding onto a branch and waiting.
It was unknown if it was because very few people came here. The silver white fish were as big as a palm and looked exceptionally plump. The cute girl stuck her feet into the water, and the fish disappeared in a flash.
The lady used the thorns of the Thorny Fruit to prick away the blisters on her feet and smeared the herbs she'd just picked from the basket on her feet. While she was doing this, Ye Xuan had already caught several large fish and was about to start a fire to roast them.
