Ling Jiheng whispered in her ear, "No, did you forget I was still wearing the battle suit you gave me?"
Chi Xingyue was completely relieved. She hugged him around the waist and asked about the situation on the mountain. She only let go when she noticed Ling Yi and his group approaching.
Ling Jiheng smiled and took Chi Xingyue's hand. He found that after not seeing her for a few days, his wife's hands were soft and smooth. Unlike his own, which were rough and cracked, he was afraid of scratching Chi Xingyue's skin.
Ignoring the scrutiny and envious glances of others, they chatted as they walked home, swinging their hands in a display of affection.
The married young men in the hunting team were envious and looked around, but they couldn't see their wives, and they felt lost and depressed.
It was not until a moment later that he found his mother, wife, and son standing at the gate of the Ling family mansion to greet him, and the suppressed emotion disappeared.
Rushing over excitedly: "Dad, Mom, wife, I'm back!"
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
The atmosphere was harmonious, and even those who had come out to watch the excitement were moved to tears. Ling Jiheng nodded and greeted the others before striding into Rongsiyuan.
Seeing his family standing at the door waiting for him, Ling Jiheng released Chi Xingyue's hand and saluted: "Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, I'm back!"
The old man and the old woman wiped their tears and hurried forward to check his physical condition.
Shu Muyun was so distressed that she almost pinched Ling Weicheng's palm.
After confirming that he was fine, just a little tired, the old lady hurriedly called Aunt Taohua to serve the meal and said, "I made some medicine for you. Drink some and go back and have a good rest!"
Coming down from the mountain, the young men, feeling somewhat uneasy at the sight of the Ling family mansion, nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Madam!"
I thought there were only some soups and medicines to prevent colds, but I didn't expect there were also white noodles.
Although it was not that solid and was just some vegetables poured on it, it made the eyes of both the adults and the children tear up.
When the snowstorm came, they really thought they were going to die in the mountains. But the Ling family remained calm and arranged everything for them in an orderly manner.
In the end, we not only got down the mountain safely, but also gained a lot.
More importantly, they learned a skill, and even if they went into the mountains alone, they would still be able to hunt.
Of course, after experiencing this ordeal, no one dared to enter the mountains at will.
After all, there are tigers, leopards, wolves, and all kinds of things. Even black bears, for some reason, don't hibernate and come out to wander around.
After they finished their meal, the Ling family brought out another pot of ginger soup and distributed it to everyone present. They didn't care at all about how much they had gained from this trip.
There were some who were more cautious, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the mountain-like prey, thinking how much meat it would have, enough to last until the New Year!
No, no, there are three tigers, two leopards, and a bear in there! They are all valuable things, so they should sell for hundreds of taels, right?
Oh my god, this makes much more money than growing mushrooms.
Even if it is only sold for three or four hundred taels, divided among thirty-eight people, each person would get at least ten taels, which is enough for the children in the family to marry off!
However, before they could make any plans, Ling Jiheng had the valuable prey sent to Qingfengyuan.
He also said, "Uncle Village Chief, logically speaking, these wild boars and wolves are also for my Ling family. But considering that I get along well with the villagers, I don't want them.
As for how you divide it, you can discuss it among yourselves!"
Song Lizheng glanced at the faces of the young men and saw that none of them objected. He knew that the Ling family had made great efforts.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll calculate how many pounds of meat there are tomorrow. Each person who goes up the mountain will get three portions, and the rest will be divided equally among them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a few people in the village who were ready to take advantage of others.
Song Lizheng made a quick decision: "These are all wild animals hunted by the Ling family and Donkey Dan at the risk of their lives. Anyone who has any objections can choose not to eat them. Just divide them like this, don't give me so many tricks!"
The villagers' thoughts immediately died down, and they focused their attention on the wild boar and the wolf that were roaming back and forth.
Which meat should they choose? Wild boar meat is more fragrant, but wolf meat seems to be quite special. They have never tasted it.
However, they don't need to think about this kind of problem at all, Song Lizheng will help them choose.
Seeing that it was getting late, they invited everyone to go home. Except for the two seriously injured who were still lying in Rongsiyuan, allowing Doctor Cheng to treat their injuries, the rest left one after another.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal. As for you, don't get up for the next two days, eat something light, and rest for two days, and your dizziness will go away."
"As for you, you can stand up, but you can't walk. The flesh on your calves is torn, but luckily the tendons and bones are not injured. Go home and ask your family to make more bone soup. After you take care of yourself for ten days or half a month, you will be able to walk again."
"Doctor Cheng, my son is so badly injured. Will he be able to go out and work in the future?" The family of the man whose leg was bitten by a tiger was worried.
Doctor Cheng waved his hand. "That's just the beginning. As long as there's no infection, this leg won't be affected at all. The only concern is that he has a weak constitution and might have a high fever in the middle of the night, which would be quite troublesome."
"What should we do, Doctor Cheng? Our Jiang family only has this one grandson!"
Doctor Cheng didn't take it seriously. He had seen this kind of situation many times and it wasn't a big deal.
"I'll give you some fever-reducing medicine before I leave. This... Tietou, right? If he has a fever, rub his armpits with hot water, boil some medicine, and have him drink it promptly."
"Oh, oh, okay, thank you, Doctor Cheng!"
The concussed man asked again, "Doctor Cheng, does my kid need any medicine?"
"He doesn't need it, just rest well. Okay, let's all go back. Don't heat the kang too high. Wait until they recover."
The group thanked Dr. Cheng again and again, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces. They took their medicine bags and carried the stretcher home.
The Ling family returned to silence. The old lady urged Ling Jiheng to go back to his room and rest: "If you have anything to say, wait until tomorrow."
Ling Jiheng stood up and saluted: "Grandma, I will go back to wash up. When I wake up tomorrow, I will tell you about the thrills and excitement on the mountain!"
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, go back to sleep quickly. Your wife has been worried sick these days!"
Ling Jiheng smiled and took Chi Xingyue's hand, then left leisurely amidst everyone's teasing gazes.
After returning to Qingfeng Courtyard, he glanced at the prey in the yard, said nothing, said something to Shu Muyun and Ling Weicheng, and then pulled Chi Xingyue into the ear room.
It's been a while since we last met, and he missed her so much. Taking a bath alone was originally quite relaxing, but at this moment, he just wanted to stick with his wife.
Although the bathtub was a bit crowded and there was nothing he could do except look, kiss and touch, Ling Jiheng hesitated for a long time and finally decided to follow his heart.
Chi Xingyue was shy and refused to agree. Ling Jiheng then took off her shoes, socks, and cotton-padded clothes and carried her directly into the water.
