Chapter 475 Splendid Countryside 5
"Slower!"
Zhou Yuesheng is a very gentle and delicate person. Whenever he encounters difficulties, he will subconsciously protect his wife.
If he saw any obstacle that was not friendly to his wife, he would squat down and carry Lin Wanwan over it personally.
When he sees wild fruits that he is familiar with in the mountains, he will take his wife to pick them.
The two walked for a long time before they arrived at the place where he had dug the trap.
"This is it. Let me see if there is any prey today."
Zhou Yuesheng took two steps forward and lifted the debris covering it.
Upon seeing this, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
"Wife, you are so lucky tonight! Look at this big pheasant, it's still alive!"
He reached out and took the pheasant out of the trap, then excitedly held it in front of Lin Wanwan.
The pheasant flapped its wings so hard that Lin Wanwan's bangs flew up.
"Put it away! It's almost falling on me."
Lin Wanwan took two steps back, moving a little further away from Zhou Yuesheng.
This man is too aggressive. She took back what she said before about him being considerate.
"I'm sorry, wife, I didn't mean it."
Zhou Yuesheng felt a little guilty. He was too excited, otherwise this wouldn't have happened.
"Okay, this is not your fault. I was too close to you!"
Lin Wanwan looked at Zhou Yuesheng's self-blaming expression, and her anger dissipated.
"This pheasant is really fat, why not sell it?"
Lin Wanwan then set her eyes on the pheasant. It was quite fat!
"Have you ever thought of eating such a fat pheasant yourself?"
Looking at his young wife, Zhou Yuesheng felt that his wife was different from others.
The villagers seldom eat meat, so every time they do, they cherish it very much.
But his wife doesn't seem to take these things seriously.
When his mother gave her the bracelet before, his wife didn't want it either.
When she saw the pheasant, she didn't drool like other girls in the village.
"Life is tough for us right now. Selling the pheasants will allow us to buy more food."
Lin Wanwan said this, looking past Zhou Yuesheng into the trap.
There was only a pheasant in the trap, and no other prey.
"I always listen to my wife!"
"We have some meat left over from the wedding banquet at home, so we won't be short of meat for the next two days."
"Next time we catch prey, we'll keep it for ourselves."
Zhou Yuesheng gathered a handful of weeds and tied up the pheasant's feet and wings.
Then he threw the pheasant aside and restored the trap to its original state.
"This is just the first trap. There are more to come. I'll show you!"
Carrying the pheasant, he continued to walk into the mountains with his young wife.
About five or six minutes later, they arrived at the second trap that Zhou Yue had dug.
This trap is more secretive and the pit is larger.
However, there was no prey in the trap, so the two had to restore the trap to its original state and continue walking to another place.
"etc!"
"Here are some old medicinal herbs. Let's pick them and take them to the city to sell next time!"
Lin Wanwan squatted down, holding something that looked like weeds in one hand, and then dug down with a branch.
After a while, a rhizome-like thing appeared.
"Wife, you take a rest, I'll do it!"
Zhou Yuesheng saw that there were fat rhizomes growing underneath the thin weeds.
He took over the work from his wife, used his hands to dig up the soil next to him, then found a sharp twig and continued digging down.
If you can't dig out something, use the tip of the knife.
After ensuring that the root tendons would not be damaged, the rhizomes inside were finally dug out intact.
"Wife, what is the name of this herb?"
After taking out the entire rhizome, Zhou Yuesheng looked at the medicinal herbs in his hand and asked Lin Wanwan.
"This herb is called Niu Dali, also known as Jinzhonggen. It can be used as a medicinal soup or brewed into wine."
"You should be very familiar with this area. I wonder if there are many of these bulls?"
If there is more, they can dig more and sell it.
Even if you don’t sell it, it’s a good choice to keep it for making soup or making your own wine.
"Wait a minute, wife, let me take a closer look!"
"I remember there are a lot of them growing around here, but I didn't bring you here to dig for medicinal herbs today. Let's do it tomorrow. I'll bring my dad and we'll go dig together."
"There are grown men who can do this kind of work, why would a little girl like you do it?"
Zhou Yuesheng carefully memorized Niu Dali's appearance.
There are also people in rural areas who know about herbal medicine, but not many.
I hardly dare to eat anything except what I am familiar with.
If you eat poisonous weeds, it will be fatal.
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
If you can avoid working, why do you want to suffer?
Lin Wanwan nodded, thinking that this young husband was really sensible.
"Okay, wife, let's keep going!"
"If you see any medicinal herbs that can be sold again, remember to remind me. I will take my father to dig them up later."
Zhou Yuesheng held Niu Dali in one hand and a pheasant in the other, and spoke seriously to his young wife.
Their family is currently lacking a way to make money.
According to his father, that meant taking him out to work.
Whether working as a bricklayer under the foreman or looking for work in town.
None of them is as easy as going up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs.
Their family has been farmers for generations, and they are the best at farming.
They only go out to look for work during the slack season.
"Don't worry, I know a lot of medicinal herbs!"
This mountain is like an undiscovered treasure trove.
The medicinal herbs inside were like treasures, waiting for her to discover.
As they walked along, Lin Wanwan pointed out several herbs to Zhou Yuesheng.
He was also told some precautions when picking these herbs.
Zhou Yuesheng also worked hard, picking each one himself to make sure he remembered them, and then continued to move forward with his wife.
When you come to the last trap.
There was a rustling sound in the ears of the two people.
It was like something was digging the soil.
Zhou Yuesheng walked forward first and saw that his trap had been destroyed.
There was a wild boar with a long snout trying to climb out of the pit.
Although the sharp branches placed at the bottom of the pit caused some damage to the wild boars, they were not fatal.
Even the wounds on the wild boar had stopped bleeding.
The sharp branches below were all trampled down by the wild boar.
From this we can see that this wild boar is truly a model of thick skin and flesh.
"My dear wife, this wild boar isn't seriously injured. It's more ferocious than usual because it saw blood."
"Let's go back first, find some villagers, and kill this wild boar together."
Zhou Yuesheng only learned simple hunting and trap making from Uncle Qiao.
But he had never encountered such a powerful opponent as the wild boar.
He didn't dare to go forward rashly and chose the safest approach.
