Chapter 17: Deeper into the Back Mountain



Shen Zhizhu counted the money he had in his hand and felt that he had enough for the time being. He would wait for Xu Haonan to come back and discuss it with him to have him accompany him on the trip.

Time passed quickly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

Shen Zhiqiu had already made two sets of clothes, and she decided to change direction. On the paper in front of her was the design of the third set of clothes, which she was going to make with a lotus edge.

These pictures of hers were all thought up these days. They may have some habits from her previous life, but they are more in line with the styles of clothes that she already has.

Things have to be done step by step. Shen Zhiqiu feels that this is a challenge and also a form of self-growth.

It was already dark outside, and Xu Haonan still hadn't come back. Shen Zhiqiu was getting restless. According to her memories from her previous life, Xu Haonan would gradually become the leader, and at least live longer than her.

But he didn't know whether Xu Haonan in her previous life went deeper into the mountain to hunt. At that time, she only cared about Du Manjun and Shen Aiqiu and didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Since she woke up, she always felt that she was blind in her past life and could not see through hypocrisy.

"No, I want to go find him."

She couldn't sit still any longer. She knew Xu Haonan would achieve great success in the future and would be extremely skilled, but that was something for the future. Now he was alone, going to such a dangerous place.

Shen Zhiqiu knocked on the doors of several neighbors, asking the uncles around to accompany her into the mountains to look for it.

"Aunt, my husband went hunting in the back mountain this afternoon. He went a little deeper and hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried. Can you come with me to look for him?"

Although some people rejected Shen Zhizhu's request, most people were willing to help.

It is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. When these uncles and aunts heard that Xu Haonan went to such a dangerous place, they picked up the household items in the yard and followed him out without saying a word.

The aunties also followed suit enthusiastically, comforting her one by one.

"Don't worry, Shen girl. Your uncles are here. We will definitely find Xiaohao for you today. Don't worry, ok."

"Don't be fooled by the fat on your uncle's belly. He once fought with wolves when he was young."

"Yes, the hoes and sickles in my house were just sharpened today."

"The mountain road is not easy to walk on. Maybe Xiaohao is already on his way back. He may not be in danger. Don't scare yourself."

Shen Zhizhu felt grateful in his heart, but they only lived close to each other and they didn't communicate much on weekdays. But today, he took the hoe axe from home and went with him to the mountains to look for someone.

When the uncle got closer, he turned around and asked with disapproval.

"How can you let him go into the mountains alone? That little bastard is the same. He never asked anyone to accompany him when he went to deep places. I heard Brother Liu say a while ago that he saw a wild boar in there."

The auntie next to him elbowed him.

"You are the only one who is worried. How can a girl like Renzhu know what is going on in the mountains? Just keep quiet."

Shen Zhizhu's heart was in a knot, and she was extremely worried. Her mind was in turmoil. She couldn't help but think of the worst, but quickly stopped thinking and prayed that he was safe.

While I was praying, I heard the uncle who was walking the fastest shouting.

"Hey, girl, look, is that your man?"

Shen Zhizhu took two quick steps and saw a black figure in the distance. She became excited and recognized his figure.

"It's him, it's him, uncle, aunt, it's him, he's out."

She didn't stop and ran straight towards Xu Haonan. When she got closer, she saw that Xu Haonan was covered in blood. Her legs went weak and she stumbled over and over again. After stumbling a few steps, she finally knelt on the ground.

Xu Haonan didn't expect Shen Zhizhu to come to see him so late. He fell flat on his face on the way to him. He strode up to Shen Zhizhu with a caring tone.

"How did you fall? Does it hurt? Let me see if your skin is broken."

Xu Hao turned Shen Zhizhu's hand back and forth to see if there was any broken skin or bleeding. Fortunately, it was just slightly scratched and red. He held Shen Zhizhu's arm and wanted to pull him up, but was hugged by someone.

"Wuwuwu, why did you come back so late? You are covered in blood. Are you trying to scare me to death? Are you injured? Why are you limping? Did you fall?"

When I looked closer, I realized that most of the blood on his body was the blood that flowed down from the predators on Xu Haonan's shoulders. It had been soaked, but his clothes were scratched a lot. It was too dark to see if there were any injuries.

She remembered that when Xu Haonan came over to help her, his walking posture was not right.

"It's just a sprain. I checked it and it doesn't hurt the bones. It will be fine in two days. Don't worry."

[How can I not be worried? I'm scared to death.]

Xu Haonan listened to Shen Zhizhu's inner thoughts. He felt sweet because she was worried about him. But when he heard Shen Zhizhu crying and scolding him while crying, he felt guilty.

He was about to hold Shen Zhizhu in his arms, but when he saw the blood on his body and the red stain on her clothes from when he had just held himself in his arms, he thought for a moment.

"Don't cry, dear. I was wrong. I won't make you worry like this next time. The scratches on your body were caused by rocks and branches. They are not serious injuries."

"Sure thing, Xiaohao, you got all the legendary wild boars back."

Many uncles gathered around the prey Xu Haonan brought back, including two small wild rabbits and a black wild boar, which was quite large and its fangs reflected the moonlight.

"Hey, didn't you see the couple talking? Why did you speak up? You have no manners at all."

"Oh, it hurts, my wife, please let go."

The aunt on the east side grabbed her man's ear and pulled him up, then turned around and explained to Shen Zhizhu.

"My man has not learned to read the atmosphere for more than ten years. He was a little too excited when he saw such a big wild boar. I think I disturbed you. It's okay, you can continue to hold it."

It was rare that Shen Zhizhu felt a little embarrassed and withdrew from Xu Haonan's arms. Her eyes were a little pink from crying, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and her face was red.

"When I met it, it was already injured, otherwise I would not have won."

Xu Haonan helped Shen Zhizhu up. Coincidentally, Shen Zhizhu had just fallen and twisted his foot, and now he couldn't stand up straight. The aunts laughed and said that they were really a perfect match.

When Xu Haonan caught two rabbits, it was still early, so he wanted to take a look and do something else, then he met a wild boar. Xu Haonan wanted to avoid it, but who would have thought that the wild boar would rush straight towards him, so they had a fight to the death.

Fortunately, the wild boar was injured and Xu Haonan only caught a rabbit, so he still had a lot of energy.

After the battle, Xu Haonan was exhausted. He found a safe place to rest for a long time and came back late.

Seeing that Xu Haonan was fine, everyone went back together.
