Chapter 22: Going into the Mountains to Gather

After hearing this, Yuan Xun said, "I need to ask my boss for instructions on this. Please wait."

After a while, Yuan Xunxun came back and said, "The boss has agreed. Each family should send one or two people to collect the seeds. No one is allowed to escape, otherwise the whole family will be punished."

As expected, each family immediately sent one or two people to collect wild vegetables.

As for Chen Fenghe's side, Qin Mengyue naturally had no idea what wild vegetables she knew, so Chen Fenghe went, and Qin Mengyue stayed behind to look after the three little ones.

Qin Mengyue said with guilt, "Feng He, I'm sorry for that."

Chen Fenghe smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll be back soon. If the Qin family takes the opportunity to cause trouble for you, just ignore them."

As he said this, he carried the bamboo basket and followed the others and the officials into the mountains.

It is early autumn now, and the variety of wild vegetables is not as great as in early spring. However, there are many more other good things than in spring!

Chen Fenghe picked up a lot of chestnuts in a short time. As he walked, he also found a lot of mushrooms and fungus.

There are many kinds of mushrooms, including huge porcini mushrooms with umbrellas on top, small chicken mushrooms, and even two matsutake mushrooms. It can be said that she had a good harvest.

In addition, there are many wild orange trees on the mountain. Chen Fenghe simply climbed up the trees and picked a lot of wild oranges.

There happened to be a bird's nest on the tree, and she looted all the five bird eggs in the nest.

After coming down from the tree, Chen Fenghe secretly walked to a place not far away, and while no one was paying attention, he released two wild rabbits from the space.

"A hare!" she exclaimed suddenly.

The accompanying officials and others were all excited when they heard this: "Where is it?"

Since being exiled, every meal has been steamed corn bread. Although the officials brought dried meat, cooked eggs and other things, they were not enough to eat. Now when they heard that there was meat, their eyes turned green!

Everyone rushed over, and the two hares were frightened and ran into the mountains and disappeared.

"Chase it! Don't let the hare run away!" Qin Jian shouted anxiously.

He and his wife, Li Guihua, were sent by the Qin family to pick wild vegetables. However, neither he nor his wife knew the difference between grains and vegetables, so they were still empty-handed. Seeing the rabbit, they were overwhelmed with excitement.

However, he was so tired from traveling these days that his legs were shaking when he walked. When he started to chase, he fell with a bang and landed face down on the mud, even his elbow was rubbed raw.

This caused the others to burst out laughing.

In the blink of an eye, two stones flew through the air with two "chi chi" sounds and hit the two hares accurately.

The two hares suddenly collapsed to the ground and stopped running.

Everyone couldn't help but admire it in their hearts!

Who is so powerful that he can knock out a hare with two stones from a distance?

Yuan Xun was one of the officers sent to monitor these prisoners. He saw clearly that the small stone was thrown by Shen Fenghe!

Yuan Xun looked at Shen Fenghe in surprise.

He was born into a military family, and all the men in his family were martial artists. He was confident that he was quite capable, but if he wanted to hit a wild rabbit that was that fast with just two stones like Chen Fenghe had just done, and... hit two at the same time, he had no confidence at all!

He knew that the woman in front of him was once the Crown Princess, but... could the Crown Princess do such a thing?

When Yuan Xun was surprised, Chen Fenghe had already quickly walked over, grabbed the long ears of the two hares, and threw them into the small bamboo basket on his back!

Seeing this, Qin Jian immediately rushed over and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, where are your two rabbits? Give one to me. We have been eating steamed buns at home for several days and can't stand it anymore."

Li Guihua also hurriedly said: "Yes, sister Shen, your brother and I were sent here, and we haven't collected anything yet. If we go back, we will definitely be scolded! If we had a wild rabbit, it would be a different story..."

Chen Fenghe looked up at the couple coldly, then smiled faintly and said, "That's unfortunate. Although there are two wild rabbits, one of them is to be presented to the officials. If I give it to you, then there will be nothing left for the officials, right?"

Qin Jian became anxious upon hearing this. He dropped his friendly gesture and angrily said, "Just give it to me. You already have two, right? Why don't you just give the other one to us? You've already picked a lot of other things, haven't you? Not to mention you, even your mother-in-law is a junior in the Qin family. You deserve to be called out!"

Chen Fenghe: “…”

She caught two wild rabbits, gave one to the official and one to him. So her work was in vain?

How shameless is this family? Like mother, like son!

"I'm sorry, although I caught this hare, I still have to listen to my mother-in-law before deciding what to do with it. Or you can wait until you get down the mountain and ask my mother-in-law..." Chen Fenghe said lightly.

Qin Mengyue has not broken up with them yet, so she has not said anything absolute for the time being.

Anyway, it is impossible for the Qin family to take this hare away.

Seeing that Chen Fenghe was disobedient, Qin Jian was so angry that he raised his hand to slap her. Chen Fenghe's eyes turned cold and she flicked her fingers lightly.

A silver needle shot swiftly and silently towards a acupuncture point on Qin Jian's arm.

"Hmm!" Qin Jian groaned, and his arm suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, falling down uncontrollably, even causing a slight pain.

Chen Fenghe watched calmly. This was only the beginning. His arm would become more and more painful over the next few days. Although there wouldn't be any actual damage, some suffering was inevitable.

Qin Jian couldn't even lift his arms, and horror flashed in his eyes.

It happened yesterday too, his legs suddenly lost feeling, and it happened today too!

Is this Chen Fenghe too weird?

Yuan Xun shouted coldly, "Qin Jian! What are you doing? How dare you hit someone in broad daylight?"

Qin Jian shrank his head, thinking that he shouldn't do anything stupid again. He glared at Chen Fenghe viciously and walked away.
