Chapter 33 Deep in the Forest
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but look back at Su Xueyi, wondering what was wrong?
She looked at Su Xueyi with a puzzled look.
Su Xueyi handed a sleeve arrow to Shen Yueyao and said, "It's not safe for you to go up the mountain, so take this with you."
Su Xueyi could see that Shen Yueyao was a very opinionated person. She had decided to leave, and it would be useless to persuade her not to go.
Besides, the kudzu root powder at home is also made from the kudzu roots she dug from the mountains.
Given the current conditions of the Su family, they rely on her to have enough food to eat, so it is unrealistic to ask her not to go to the mountains.
So he secretly made a hidden crossbow.
It was made with materials that I had saved up before.
Shen Yueyao looked at the thing Su Xueyi handed over and felt that it was different from some small weapons in ancient history. This one looked like a sophisticated hidden weapon.
Don't mention it, it looks quite exquisite. Shen Yueyao's eyes lit up and asked, "Is this a hidden weapon?"
This thing looks small and exquisite, and Shen Yueyao likes it very much, but at first glance she doesn't know how to use it.
Su Xueyi explained in a gentle voice, "There's a mechanism here with three hidden weapons. If you encounter wild beasts in the forest, you can shoot them."
"This weapon is flawed. It lacks power. It's suitable for injuring wild animals at close range, but it can't kill them."
After a pause, Su Xueyi couldn't help but add, "So you have to be careful."
He seemed a little worried.
Shen Yueyao was quite happy. She found the weapons made by ancient people very interesting.
She always felt that the ancients had low productivity and backward food culture, but there were many wise and capable people who could build and produce things that would amaze people in the technological age.
Some people even cannot research things from that time based on incomplete historical records.
"And this knife, I also carry it for self-defense."
Shen Yueyao looked at the small dagger that Su Xueyi handed over and felt it was very sharp.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, my husband. I like both this hidden weapon and this dagger."
Her body was fat and weak, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't exert any power for a while.
I'm not worried about my ability to protect myself, but with Su Erya, I may not be able to protect her at a critical moment. But with hidden weapons, it's different.
She could then walk boldly into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Hearing Shen Yueyao calling her husband and looking at the bright smile on her face, Su Xueyi could tell that she liked this thing.
Su Xueyi's expression changed, and she said softly, "As long as you like it, go early and come back early."
"Um."
In fact, it was Shen Yueyao who just put it back on and called Su Xueyi "husband" for the first time.
The two of them just had a real conversation.
In the past, we were just like strangers, just saying hello when we saw each other coming in and out.
To Shen Yueyao, it was just a name, nothing she couldn't call out.
Besides, the other person made good things for her and took the initiative to ease the relationship with her, so she naturally couldn't just stand there.
When the adults at home get along well with each other, the children can also relax more.
Otherwise, she and Su Xueyi would often be in a stalemate or silent state, and Dabao and Erbao would be cautious in what they said and did.
…
When Shen Yueyao took Su Erya up the mountain, Su Erya's mouth corners were always raised.
She was very happy to see that her third uncle and sister-in-law were getting better.
In this way, Third Aunt will always be your Third Aunt.
She was really afraid that her third uncle would have some opinions about her third aunt, so she just kept the situation tense.
She has been learning things from her third aunt these days, and of course she can see that her third uncle and third aunt hardly talk to each other.
Occasionally they would say a word or two, just to say hello politely or to invite people to eat.
Worse than a stranger.
She looked so anxious, but she couldn't say anything.
Seeing Su Erya happily jumping and skipping along, Shen Yueyao looked at her with amusement and said, "Are you so happy to go up the mountain?"
Su Erya shook her head and said, "No, I like to see Third Uncle and Third Aunt doing well."
Shen Yueyao was stunned.
As expected, even children could see the strange atmosphere between her and Su Xueyi.
I think the eldest and second child can feel it more.
Shen Yue was silent for a moment, knowing that if Su Xueyi was willing to talk to her actively, she would also try her best to improve the atmosphere.
"By the way, Aunt San, are we still going to continue digging kudzu roots and making gourds?"
Recently, there are a lot of gourd cups at home for drinking water.
Aunt San also made a small gourd storage jar and put salt in it, so that when she used a small spoon to scoop salt into the pot, she could count it and it was convenient to use.
Aunt San put each seasoning in a small gourd jar and placed it neatly in a corner of the stove. It looked neat and did not take up much space. The contents of the jar were written on the gourd.
It's clear at a glance which seasoning to use, so just open the lid and use it.
Shen Yueyao said: “No, let’s go up the mountain to see if there is anything else on the mountain and walk inside.”
"good."
This time, the two men walked deeper into the mountains and found no food.
But when we went deeper into the forest, we did dig up some medicinal herbs.
"Aunt, these are medicinal herbs. Can we dig them up, dry them, and sell them at the town's clinic?"
Shen Yueyao said, "The price of medicinal herbs in the town's clinic is too low. It's not cost-effective to dig herbs and sell them to the clinic. It's better to keep them for future use."
When Shen Yueyao saw the medicinal herbs, she would also explain to Su Erya what they were and what their effects were.
Su Erya took note of it carefully.
She studied seriously whatever her Third Aunt taught her.
"Aunt San, you are so amazing. You even know about medicinal herbs."
Shen Yueyao said embarrassedly: "I used to learn how to identify medicinal herbs from a master at home."
I can only make up a master out of thin air.
Su Erya was simple-minded and believed it.
The two walked for a while, and then Shen Yueyao saw seasonings such as star anise and peppercorns.
Shen Yueyao's mood instantly became excited.
I didn't expect there would be such a thing on this mountain.
Su Erya learned cooking from her third aunt, so she naturally knew that adding these things to seasoning would make the food taste better.
Especially when making braised food, these spices are indispensable.
"No wonder Third Aunt said the mountains are full of treasures. We never went deep into the mountains before and didn't know about these things."
Shen Yueyao was picking some spices near the halfway point of the mountain.
The place is also very high, with a steep slope below, which is a bit dangerous.
"Aunt San, let me pick it. It's dangerous here."
Shen Yueyao said: "It's okay, I will be more careful."
You can save a lot of money by picking these spices.
Shen Yueyao had to pick more.
But just as she leaned over to pick fruits halfway up the hill, she suddenly heard a soft sound.
Shen Yueyao instinctively sensed the danger.
She instinctively pressed the anger button on her sleeve.
"call out!"
At the moment when a snake shot towards Shen Yueyao's neck, Shen Yueyao raised her sleeve and fired a hidden weapon, directly nailing the snake to the ground.
The nail hit the snake's vital point and it died quickly.
"ah!"
Seeing this scene, Su Erya was so scared that her back felt like it was about to explode.
I feel a creepy feeling all over my body.
It turned out to be a poisonous spotted snake.
Su Erya just listened to the villagers saying not to go deep into the mountains and forests because there were dangerous wild animals and poisonous snakes, but she didn't take it seriously.
Because she had never walked deep into the mountains before.
But at this moment she suddenly remembered that there were old people in the village who went deep into the mountains and forests and died after being bitten by snakes or wild beasts.
Thinking about it now, she feels a little scared.
At this moment, there was suddenly a falling sound.
She was busy picking spices nearby and didn't notice the snake.
"Third Aunt, ah, Third Aunt!"
Su Erya went to see Shen Yueyao again and found that Shen Yueyao had fallen down.
