The mountains and forests in autumn are a huge treasure.
They ate the red wild persimmons, picked a large basket of sour wild dates and wild hawthorns, and gathered various mushrooms and wild vegetables. Ying Mingcheng also hunted a few rabbits and pheasants. He cooked the meat with the seasonings he brought with him, wrapped it in leaves, and buried it in the bonfire, turning it into barbecue.
Originally, they didn't bring enough seasonings, but with Mu Huaixi around, all the plants and plants around them could be turned into seasonings. Ying Mingcheng smiled and joked, "We should ask the cooks to learn this trick from you, so that we can find food no matter where we go."
Mu Huaixi smiled and watched him skillfully skin the rabbit with a knife. She leaned over to take a look and said, "I want to learn this too."
"Want to learn how to use a knife?" Ying Mingcheng's fingers trembled as he made several knife flowers. Seeing her looking at him enthusiastically, his heart felt like a cotton ball had exploded, and he felt light and airy.
Xiao Xi smiled at him again, and Ying Mingcheng wanted to give her the knife in his hand, but his eyes fell on her belly again, and he silently put the knife back, "I'll teach you how to use a knife later."
"Why does it take a while?" Mu Huaixi noticed his gaze, took the bloody knife, and under his frightened gaze, imitated him and made a knife flower.
During this journey, she learned many tricks from Ying Mingcheng, including how to identify directions in the dense forest, twenty-five methods to find water sources, how to make simple traps, etc. In short, she tricked out all the wild survival skills of this field soldier.
Mu Huaixi wanted to learn, so he taught her. But Ying Mingcheng frowned disapprovingly and said, "Don't hurt yourself."
"Don't be afraid, I have you." Mu Huaixi had something on her mind, so she spoke very sweetly. Noticing his eyes on her belly, she stroked her abdomen with a smile, "We have to learn even more now that we have a little baby. This is also prenatal education. Other people's babies are still crying when they are born, but our little baby will be able to do it when he is born!"
Ying Mingcheng was amused by her nonsense and carefully took the knife back. "If you want to learn, learn something useful. You understand the acupuncture points and meridians. I will teach you a few ways to use the knife. I guarantee that every cut will draw blood."
"Okay, okay," Mu Huaixi's eyes lit up and he studied very seriously.
Ying Mingcheng's knife-wielding movements were clean and neat. He held the handle horizontally and thrust the knife backwards. The knife broke through the bark of the tree behind him, and all of the bark except the handle was embedded in it.
"Put it in like this, and pull it out like this," Ying Mingcheng slowed down his movements so that she could see his hand movements, and then handed the knife to her, "Here, try it."
Mu Huaixi was about to poke the tree with the knife, but was stopped by Ying Mingcheng, "Why are you poking the tree? Come on, try it on me."
"What if I hurt you?" Mu Huaixi raised his eyebrows.
Ying Mingcheng smiled, his eyebrows raised, revealing a bit of rogue, "If you can hurt me, then I..."
"How is it?" she asked impatiently.
Seeing her provocation, Ying Mingcheng said, "Are you so confident? If I get hurt by you, I'll let you do whatever you want. If your knife can't even touch the corner of my clothes, then..."
"Isn't that normal?" Mu Huaixi didn't dare to promise anything.
But Ying Mingcheng obviously would not let her go. Even though there were only two people around him, he still leaned close to her ear to talk. His hot breath fell on her ear, which was a little itchy.
After hearing this, Mu Huaixi punched him and then rolled her eyes at him. This guy is becoming more and more shameless!
"Hahaha, come on!" Ying Mingcheng took a few steps back and then counterattacked, using the same attack method he had just mentioned.
Mu Huaixi's belly is big, but her steps are still flexible. She is in good health and often goes up the mountain to exercise. After she became pregnant, she practiced dancing with her grandmother, and her limbs became even more flexible.
She dodged and bent as Ying Mingcheng had just taught her, and suddenly thrust the knife hidden in her sleeve backwards, but it stabbed into a small tree beside her, without even touching the corner of his clothes.
“Come again!”
Although she knew it was normal, she was inexplicably aroused by the desire to win, and raised her hand to stab him again.
Ying Mingcheng almost burst out laughing. Xiao Xi was indeed agile now, but this agility was relative to a pregnant woman. With his reaction ability, he could easily deal with seven or eight ordinary people at the same time, let alone the pregnant Xiao Xi.
He wanted to let her go, but he couldn't find a chance. Seeing her movements getting bigger and bigger, and her footwork getting a little messy, he quickly embraced her, put away the knife, and coaxed her, "Alright, alright, let's practice again tomorrow. You're so good at it your first time, you're really talented."
"Really?" Mu Huaixi's eyes sparkled, then suddenly his face turned stern. "You're talking so much all of a sudden, aren't you just trying to coax me?"
Ying Mingcheng was stunned, and then he reflected on himself. Was it because he spoke too little on weekdays that Xiaoxi had such thoughts?
His stunned look made Mu Huaixi even more suspicious, "Okay, you really are just trying to fool me!"
"Yes, yes, I'm just trying to comfort you," Ying Mingcheng smiled and pulled her over. Now the two of them had more and more physical contact and looked more and more like a young couple.
He recalled what Political Commissar Li had said about Huo Zhiwu and his wife: "Xiao Huo and your wife really look like a married couple!"
Suddenly I became curious whether they look like a couple.
"Hmm?" Mu Huaixi saw him holding her face and looking at it carefully, and thought there was something on her face, so she hurriedly touched her face.
Ying Mingcheng felt that Xiaoxi was nothing like him. He was just a rough guy. Xiaoxi was good-looking to begin with, and now that she was a little plump after her pregnancy, she looked more like a white jade-like person, and her every move was full of charm.
How could he be like him?
Mu Huaixi couldn't help laughing after hearing what he said, "Actually, Aunt Da Chu said that we are somewhat similar."
"Hmm?" Ying Mingcheng raised his eyebrows and asked anxiously, "How are they similar?"
"It's not about looks. Aunt Da Chu said that sometimes our expressions are very similar." Mu Huaixi didn't understand. She and Ying Mingcheng were actually very different. Especially since he was so pretentious and looked very masculine overall. How could he look like her?
She and Ying Mingcheng looked at each other, both feeling a little confused, but in fact, their expressions at this moment were very similar.
"I don't know who the child will look more like." Ying Mingcheng put his hand on hers and then on her abdomen. Their eyes met and they couldn't help but imagine the future in their hearts.
Mu Huaixi smiled, "I think it would be best if I were like you."
Be as upright, kind, and self-disciplined as Ying Mingcheng, and be a person loyal to yourself and the country.
Ying Mingcheng shook his head, "It's better to be like you."
The best one is someone who is beautiful, kind, but has a bottom line, is sharp, smart and sharp like Xiao Xi.
"Let's stop bragging about our business. It doesn't matter who you look like, as long as you're healthy and happy, that's the best," Mu Huaixi couldn't help but laugh. Her coworkers used to always want their children to be successful, projecting their own unfulfilled wishes onto them. She used to have that thought, too, but now she doesn't. She has to pursue her own dreams, and as for her children's dreams, that's not her place to interfere.
