Lin Xiaoxiao nodded; Han Qiushi's thoughts coincided with hers.
The animals recognize it, so they must have seen it before. It seems that quite a few people have stayed in this back mountain.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought that the animal was very clever and its fierce appearance was endearing. She didn't like small animals and found big ones to be cuter, which was a kind of "cute contrast" that was mentioned online.
"Should we go in and take another look?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's eager expression, Han Qiushi couldn't help but laugh again, reaching out to flick Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead. "Your bow and arrow are extremely powerful, but they're not enough to conquer a tiger."
"If the big cat gets close, I don't know if I'll be able to win."
Han Qiushi was carrying a short pistol, which was a bit risky to use against a tiger. If they accidentally encountered it or actively pursued it, without knowing the terrain and environment, they would put themselves in danger.
He couldn't let Lin Xiaoxiao suffer any mishap.
I can take the risk on my own without worry, but having someone around can be distracting. As for the gun, I can investigate it slowly. Encountering something like this today is a good outcome in itself.
If the two of them can't defeat the tiger, the one who should thank God for the gift of nature is the tiger.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt a strong urge to get her hands on the treasures in the space. It was nice to be protected, but the inability to use them and the resulting restriction on her movements were also a bit unpleasant.
Well, having meat from the tiger isn't bad either; I should thank the tiger for this gift.
She'd never tried venison before; she'd heard it was a highly nutritious food. Besides venison, there was also wild boar meat, snake, and a very good wild ginseng.
Han Qiushi quickly cleaned up the deer blood, then dragged the deer by one leg. He didn't intend to release the deer blood, as it was very nourishing. He wanted to get some for his teacher to help him recover, so that his teacher wouldn't suffer losses during the autumn harvest.
However, since the two of them discovered this together, Han Qiushi told Lin Xiaoxiao his thoughts: "Xiaoxiao, can we keep the deer? As for the wild boar and ginseng, you can do whatever you want with them, whether you sell them or keep them for yourself, they're all yours."
"Could we give the teacher some more venison?"
Han Qiushi felt a little guilty when he said this. When he and Lin Xiaoxiao came up, he had already planned that he would give everything he got to Lin Xiaoxiao, and even if he sold it for money, he would give all the money to her.
But this venison has its own agenda.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously: "These things are meant to be shared equally, so you have the right to dispose of them as you see fit."
“I don’t have any ideas about these things. If you have any thoughts on the rest, you can tell me, and we can discuss it.”
"Let me state my thoughts first. I don't want to sell this wild ginseng. We can each take half. You can give it to whoever you want. I'd like to give the other half to my teacher when the opportunity arises." Wild ginseng is rare, and I'm not short of money. This stuff could be a lifesaver in a critical moment.
Teachers are the best people to you, so you should think about them too.
Han Qiushi thought for a moment after hearing this: "Take the wild ginseng. The effect of the ginseng will be greatly reduced if it is separated. We will not sell the venison. Keep half for yourself, and divide the other half into two portions. One portion is for your teacher, and the other portion is sent back to my home. How about that?"
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to suggest that everyone share the items in half, as that would be fair, since Han Qiushi had put in the most effort.
No matter what Han Qiushi said, he disagreed. As he spoke, his expression darkened. He didn't want Lin Xiaoxiao to be so calculating with him.
Seeing Han Qiushi's unusually low mood, Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and thought to herself, "This guy is getting all worked up just because he wants money and things. Is it really that big of a deal?"
Later, Lin Xiaoxiao simply made a deal: the wild boar would be sold to cover the living expenses for the two of them, the venison would be sent to the sender, and the rest would be eaten by themselves.
Whether you eat the snake yourself or sell it, it's fine.
Han Qiushi was pleased to hear Lin Xiaoxiao's decision. Lin Xiaoxiao's way of allocating the money was like a couple planning their life together, discussing it like a small family.
Han Qiushi suddenly felt stupid; why had he said all that?
Money and things should all be given to Lin Xiaoxiao; that's how a small family should operate, with the woman of the house making all the decisions.
Lin Xiaoxiao has been doing this job for a long time, so it would be most beneficial for him to adapt to it as soon as possible.
The process of changing one's identity will be exceptionally smooth.
Upon thinking about this, Han Qiushi immediately said, "I'll listen to you. You're more thoughtful than me. From now on, you can make all the decisions. I'll just do whatever you tell me."
Lin Xiaoxiao had no objection. There wasn't much stuff involved, and it was very easy to handle.
It was already dark when the two returned, so they weren't worried about being seen by anyone.
Han Qiushi carried a wild boar on his shoulder and had a basket hanging from his hand.
Lin Xiaoxiao carried one of the deer on her back. Han Qiushi looked at Lin Xiaoxiao again and again and asked with concern, "Isn't this very tiring? Actually, I can carry another hundred pounds or so."
Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "No need, no need. This weight is not difficult for me. Let's walk faster. If there are other things later, we won't have any free hands."
Han Qiushi didn't say anything more after hearing this, and the two quickly walked down the mountain.
The two walked for about half an hour, then sat down to rest for a while before continuing their walk home.
When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Han Qiushi told Lin Xiaoxiao to stay up there while he went down to check if anyone was walking around nearby.
If they get caught, their whole afternoon will have been wasted.
After confirming that no one was around, Han Qiushi returned, picked up the wild boar, and the two walked home together.
Fortunately, the house has a courtyard wall, so there's no fear of people knowing if things are left in the yard, and there's a place to dispose of them safely.
After returning, the two rested for a while before starting their own tasks. Lin Xiaoxiao was in charge of cooking, while Han Qiushi was in charge of processing the venison.
Han Qiushi found a wooden bucket and drained all the blood from the deer's body. After processing the deer blood, he realized that he could still fill the bucket two-thirds full.
After processing the blood, they began to dismantle the deer hide and deer meat.
Meat doesn't keep well in this weather, so Han Qiu decided during dinner that he would find a way to clean up the wild boar after the meal.
Wild boar has a strong odor, and it's especially bad in hot weather, so it needs to be dealt with quickly.
Using a handcart would attract too much attention, so after Han Qiushi finished eating, he butchered the wild boar meat, putting some of the meat in a basket on his back and some on the back of his bicycle.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Xiaoxiao also prepared the bathwater. Han Qiushi washed up and then went to sleep.
This job is tiring, but after some hesitation, Lin Xiaoxiao still felt that she couldn't expose the space. Anyway, Han Qiushi was in his prime, so it was okay to be tired.
At worst, I'll just eat less venison myself and let Han Qiushi eat more to replenish his body.
Han Qiushi was able to make up for everything.
