Bai Lu was like a tiger released back into the mountains. He ran wildly into the forest and ran very fast along the path people walked on. After a while, he heard the squealing of pigs, which sounded quite miserable.
Jun Jing led his men into the forest. In order to keep guns and ammunition to protect Bai Lu, they made traps and simple mechanisms. Then they all climbed up the trees, guarded the mechanisms and waited for prey.
Just as a wild boar was caught, Bailu arrived.
Junjing was afraid that Bailu would step into the pit, so he jumped down from the tree. Bailu still leaned forward to look, and guessed that Junjing and the others had dug a pit in front.
Jun Jing pressed the woman against a nearby tree trunk. The two of them pressed tightly together, one above the other, his eyes blazing as he stared at the woman in his arms. "Didn't I tell you not to go into the woods?"
"My uncles are a bit mean when they get together, especially my second uncle, who always nags at me." Bai Lu said, hooking her arm around Jun Jing's neck, "I'm tired of running."
Jun Jing bent down, picked the person up with one hand, and held him to his shoulder. "Step on my shoulders and climb up the tree to rest for a while."
The soldiers who came with them to hunt sat on the trees, covering their eyes and watching Jun Tuan coax his wife through a crack. "Ah, ah, ah! I want to get married, I want a wife..."
"Don't go up the tree, you'll be like a monkey." Bai Lu pulled Jun Jing's arm to support herself, and slid back from Jun Jing's shoulder to his arm.
Jun Jing patiently helped her sit down, thinking that his wife didn't want to climb the tree, but actually just wanted to stay in his arms.
The soldiers on the tree: ...Ahhh, so we are like the monkeys?
"The roasted snakes were delicious yesterday. Let's dig out a few more snake nests today? Roast two snakes in the evening and make some snake soup." Bai Lu hugged Jun Jing's neck, not at all aware of being watched by the people in the tree.
Jun Jing felt the gazes from the tree, frowned and said to it, "Two people will come down and send the wild boar back, and the others will take a break to fix the trap."
Then he took Bai Lu to find the snake's nest, cursing these little bastards in his heart, where are they looking! One by one!
Bai Lu was staring at the ground looking for the hole.
Jun Jing was also staring at his wife, looking for the hole.
**
The two men stared at the ground and found a dense mixed forest of coniferous and broad-leaved trees and shrubs.
"Wait!" Bai Lu grabbed Jun Jing and looked around. It was very different from the one just now. "Jun Jing, do you smell any medicine?"
Jun Jing: ...
She suddenly remembered the time when she smelled the scent of croton on the train and was in the same state.
"You smell it?" Jun Jing asked, "It's not croton, is it?"
Bai Lu reached out and pinched Jun Jing's waist. How could this bastard be more vindictive than her?
"It's ginseng. It has a strong medicinal smell. Dig it up and make soup with it tonight."
Jun Jing: ...
The two of them squatted on the ground and dug, uncovering all the humus soil. Bai Lu moved little by little towards the place with the strongest smell, and then dug towards that place.
Sure enough, a wild ginseng head popped out! Then I dug around it and found four in total, all very dark in color, with roots underneath that were as dense as a spider web.
Bai Lu held up the ginseng and raised her eyebrows towards Jun Jing. "This thing is older than you. It's very nourishing if you eat it."
Is he very old?
Jun Jing's eyes looked a little gloomy. He stood up and glanced around.
"If you want it, keep it."
"We have to take this back and dry it in the sun before we can keep it for a long time. Let's go and continue looking for snake nests." Bai Lu said, shaking off the dirt on the ginseng. She felt that it would be difficult to put the ginseng in her pocket with the dirt on it, so she rolled it up, opened Jun Jing's coat pocket, and stuffed it in.
The surrounding environment was good and there were a lot of mushrooms. Bai Lu picked some and saw that Jun Jing's pocket was full, so she pulled down the scarf around his neck and used it to hold the mushrooms.
Jun Jing: ...
Dear daughter-in-law.
"Didn't Chen Liangchen bring the wine yesterday? Go out and buy a wine jar tomorrow, and wait until it's dried, then make a jar of wine for grandpa." Bai Lu said as she walked without even turning her head.
Jun Jing followed behind and agreed.
The two continued to look for the snake hole, but Bai Lu kept picking up some leaves on the ground and digging up dead grass roots from time to time.
When she came across the nettle grass, she squatted beside it for a long time, struggling to think it over, and then poked Jun Jing, "I want this."
Jun Jing frowned and pulled up the grass by the roots. Bai Lu secretly moved away from him and said, "Put the grass where you are and give it to me when you get back."
Jun Jing didn't take it seriously, and only after a while did he feel his hands starting to itch.
The snake cave was not found, but the two of them fought a stupid spore.
As the sun set, Jun Jing returned to the trap, holding the roe deer in one hand and Bai Lu's arm in the other.
Bailu didn't let him hug her, for fear that the dust from the nettle would rub against her skin.
Bai Lu had a great time and didn't want to go back. He wanted to continue hunting and was cursing.
There were only two people left at the trap, and the trap was empty.
The spores were taken over by someone, and Jun Jing felt much more relaxed pulling Bai Lu.
Tired of struggling, Bai Lu finally pretended to be dead and lay on Jun Jing's back, swaying along with Jun Jing's movements. Seeing this, the two unmarried special forces soldiers no longer wanted to get married. Marrying a wife was too tiring. They were tired at night and even tired during the day...
Xu Yuzhen looked at Bai Lu who was carried back by Jun, and his old face wrinkled with smile. His grandson-in-law really loved his granddaughter and spoiled her like his own daughter. Great!
Jun Jing went to wash his hands and put the grass that Bai Lu wanted in the corner of the room.
We had barbecue yesterday and hotpot today.
The rice in the big iron pot was cooked, and Xu Nuo served all the rice.
How could we possibly eat all the meat from the three wild boars, which weighed over a thousand pounds, in one meal? But we couldn't just leave it alone.
The butcher and the roe deer were being processed. Bai Lu pulled Xu Zhizhi's sleeve and called them into the house.
"Uncle, let me show you something."
Jun Jing was already in the room. The couple agreed not to take out four ginseng roots, but to choose the one that looked the lightest in color.
When Xu Zhizhi saw what Jun Jing was holding, his eyes widened. He picked it up slowly, a look of astonishment on his face. "Did you dig this today?"
He lowered his voice very low, fearing that others might hear him. He then walked to the door and locked it before turning back and saying, "You didn't pay attention when you dug here, and you must have broken off a large section. This ginseng grows for a year and only has one knot." Xu Zhixin pointed to the broken part at the top of the ginseng and said,
"But it's okay if it breaks. Look at the color and thickness of the skin. It's so thick, dark, and has dense roots. It must be at least a hundred years old. Be careful to hide it and don't show it to others. If the people in the team know you have it, they will definitely make you pay to share it with them."
What Xu Zhizhi said was similar to what Bai Lu had figured out herself.
The medicinal properties of hundred-year-old ginseng are very good. She originally wanted to stew one and eat it today, but now she feels that it is not appropriate. However, it can still be soaked in grandpa’s wine.
"I won't tell you, and my uncle shouldn't tell you either. I'll dry this thing out in the next few days and use it to make wine for grandpa." Bai Lu smiled.
Xu Zhizhi's eyes fell on the nettles in the corner of the room and he frowned. "Did you bring that back today? Who pulled it out? Doesn't your hand itch?"
