The previous day had been filled with ups and downs, and Tian An was so exhausted that she fell into a deep sleep the moment she hit the bed. If she hadn't developed a punctual biological clock over a long period of time, she would have overslept.
When she had simply tidied herself up and was about to leave the room, Da Niu was just about to leave.
Seeing her get up, he said, "An An, why don't you not go! It's dangerous in the mountains. I'll go find her."
Tian An hurriedly shook his head: "It would be faster for me to find it. I know where to find those things."
Daniu continued, "But what if we encounter a ferocious beast like we did yesterday? Aren't you afraid?"
Tian An took the backpack from under the eaves and said, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you kill the tiger?"
After thinking for a moment, he added, "If you're unlucky and really encounter one, don't worry, Brother Danniu. I won't bother you. I'll definitely run away first and won't be a burden to you and affect your performance."
Daniel: ...Why does he feel depressed after hearing this?
Tian An took the small shovel and sickle and urged Da Niu to set off.
Seeing that Tian An was really not afraid, Da Niu had no choice but to take the backpack and carry it on his back, taking Tian An up the mountain.
After reaching the mountain, the two divided the work. Da Niu was responsible for hunting and security, while Tian An was responsible for finding Aiyu fruit and other herbs.
Unfortunately, after wandering around the mountain for more than an hour, he didn't catch any prey and only found two or three worthless herbs.
The two stopped on a large rock to drink water and rest. Tian An pointed to a higher mountain nearby and said, "Brother Danniu, let's go to that mountain and take a look!"
Looking at the mountain in the direction Tian An pointed, Da Niu frowned and said, "That mountain is steeper than this one. I've never been there and I'm not familiar with it. It would be dangerous to take you there. Why don't I go explore it tomorrow and then we can go together!"
Tian An shook his head and said, "You've been all over this mountain. If it were there, you would have found it long ago. It would be a waste of time for us to continue looking. Why not try our luck on that mountain?"
Besides, I'm worried if you go alone! The two of you can look after each other."
Only after Tian An's repeated insistence did Da Niu take her towards the higher mountain.
For fear of encountering snakes, insects, rats or ants on the road, Da Niu tied the cuffs and trouser legs of both men tightly with cloth strips.
The cloth strips were prepared in advance, but they were not used because the forest where the two had visited was not deep.
Because it was the first time for Da Niu to come here, and he brought Tian An with him, as soon as he entered the mountain, Da Niu's whole body tensed up and he became extremely alert.
It has to be said that opportunities often go hand in hand with dangers. The mountain they were walking on was rarely visited by people, so there was basically no road on the mountain. They could only rely on a big ox with a hatchet to clear the way ahead.
However, precisely because there are few people coming here, the vegetation in this mountain is very rich. Along the way, Tian An encountered many medicinal herbs, and he collected them all regardless of their value.
Afraid that the backpack would not be able to hold all the herbs, Tian An took advantage of Da Niu's inattention and secretly put the herbs into the space, leaving only some in the backpack as a cover.
Anyway, Danniu's attention was focused on the surrounding movements. He didn't know how many herbs she had dug.
Tian An had just dug up a piece of Polygonum multiflorum and was about to stand up when she felt Da Niu put his hand on her shoulder.
She looked up at Da Niu, who had already withdrawn his hand and was reaching for the arrow on his back with both hands.
Then he drew his bow and released an arrow, and it seemed as if something fell behind the grass in front of him.
Daniu held Tian An in one hand and held the bow in the other. He walked carefully toward the grass. When he got closer, he used the bow to push the grass aside. When he saw the rabbit inside, he looked around for a moment before he dared to bend down and pick it up.
Looking at the dead rabbit, Tian An muttered, "If only it were alive."
As Danniu tied the rabbit to the back of the backpack, he said, "It's hard to catch it alive. What do you want it for?"
Tian An knew it was hard to catch them, but that was precisely why he wanted to catch them alive: "Catch one alive and take it home to raise! Rabbits reproduce very quickly, and it won't be long before they have a whole litter. Then we won't have to work so hard to catch them later!"
Daniel looked around again and said, "Let's go around and see if we can find the rabbit hole."
Tian An's eyes lit up. If he found the rabbit hole, he might even find a baby rabbit! Baby rabbits are much easier to catch than big ones.
The two of them carefully searched around the forest. Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. After searching for a long time, they didn't find a rabbit hole, not even a hair.
They both gave up! Tian An was fanning himself with his hands!
But his eyes were looking around, looking east and west.
Suddenly, Tian An's gaze fixed on a tree. The tall trunk was covered with vines, and the vines were full of small, green, oval fruits that looked a bit like figs.
This wasn't what the Aiyu Fruit was that she was looking for.
Before she could tell Da Niu the good news, Da Niu also made a discovery.
Da Niu pulled Tian An and walked gently to a small cave not far away. Then, the two of them just stared at the cave blankly.
Tian An: ...Is this the real-life version of waiting for something to happen?
Tian An shook his head, went to the nearby area to cut some grass, and placed it at the entrance of the rabbit hole. Then he signaled Da Niu to get ready.
Although Daniel thought this was useless, he still did it.
After a while, the two saw a little white head sticking out of the hole, and when the rabbit's pair of long ears also came out, Da Niu quickly grabbed the rabbit's ears and pulled it out.
Da Niu handed the caught rabbit to Tian An. Before he could sigh at Tian An's good luck, another gray rabbit head popped out of the cave.
So they had no choice but to follow the same method to catch other rabbits, and then the two of them took away the whole nest of rabbits.
There were six rabbits in the nest, two white and four gray. Tian An held two in each hand, and Daniu held two more. But holding the rabbits made it difficult to do anything else, and the aiyu fruits hadn't been picked yet!
Da Niu thought about it and then looked for some strong branches around.
Then pour out all the herbs in the backpack, put the rabbit in the backpack first, and then insert branches into the gaps between the bamboo strips of the backpack to create space for the rabbit.
He then used a sickle to cut some grass around the basket and placed it on the branches to cushion the area, to prevent the rabbits from eating the herbs. Finally, he put the herbs back into the backpack.
After dealing with the rabbit, Tian An told Daniu that the Aiyu fruit had been found.
The two of them planned to take a rest before picking aiyu fruit.
Daniu took a sip of water and sighed, "An An, you're so lucky! You found everything you wanted in one trip. It's like you got whatever you wanted!"
Tian An said proudly, "That's right. I'm a lucky charm for my husband. If you follow me, you, Brother Da Niu, will have a life of luxury, fame and fortune, and spending money like water is no longer a dream."
Daniel: ...This girl cannot be praised.
