Snake gall and blood are both great tonics. Xie San often goes hunting in the mountains and forests. Whenever he kills a snake, he cuts out the gall and drinks its blood. Unfortunately, the snake was cut into two pieces today, and its blood had already drained out.
It was the same yesterday. Two hundred kilograms of wild boar blood were all drained away, fertilizing the land for nothing.
It was all because of the cute girl in front of him. Xie San lowered his head, and Cheng Yaoyao stared at his lips with a pair of peach blossom eyes, frankly and boldly, not knowing how to avoid suspicion.
The snake gall was just given to her, but she herself did not want to eat it. Xie San wiped the snake blood from the corner of his lips, untied his basket and placed it on the ground, walked away, picked a large leaf, and wrapped the snake body.
Cheng Yaoyao glanced at the snake corpse and quickly retracted her gaze. She glanced at Xie San's basket out of curiosity and her eyes were suddenly wide open.
Half a basket was filled with mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and Hericium erinaceus! These mushrooms were delicious and hard to find, and they were incomparable to the mixed mushrooms such as the green mushrooms that Zhang Xiaofeng and her friends had picked. Cheng Yaoyao looked at the basket with greedy eyes and took a deep breath of the aroma of the mushrooms.
The aroma of fried chicken mushrooms is irresistible, and you can eat a bowl of rice with just one chopstick! Hericium erinaceus is expensive and rare, and is a good medicine for stomach problems. Dry mushrooms look ugly, but they taste like beef jerky. Every time they are on the market, Cheng Yaoyuan will spend a lot of money to order them from his hometown.
In the original book, Xie San, as a hunter, often went to the deep mountains and old forests, and he could always find a lot of precious game. This golden finger is really enviable.
This time, Xie San ignored Cheng Yaoyao's eager gaze. The city girls were coquettish and disliked snake gall, so they naturally disliked these wild animals. He was about to pick up the basket, but was held down.
Cheng Yaoyao put his hand on the basket, his eyes eager: "Where did you find these mushrooms?"
Xie San said: "The back hill."
Cheng Yaoyao almost lost her life in the back mountain yesterday, and immediately gave up her plan to look for mushrooms. She stared at Xie San with her peach blossom eyes for a long time, and the other party looked back at her calmly, like a wooden block.
Cheng Yaoyao hinted with great excitement: "Ahem, I also had a share of that snake just now."
Xie San slowly raised one sharp eyebrow and looked at her: "Oh?"
"Why not? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten this snake." Cheng Yaoyao thought Xie San was denying his guilt, so he spoke quickly, "You ate the snake's gallbladder, and the remaining snake meat weighs three or four kilograms!"
You don't want to eat snake gall, Xie San thought, without arguing, and passed the leaf bag in his hand to him.
Cheng Yaoyao was so frightened that he almost jumped up again, his little face full of disgust: "No, no, no... I don't want snake meat, take it away!"
Xie San held his outstretched hand suspended in mid-air, frowning as he looked at her, as if he was looking at a little white rabbit that he didn't want to catch but had to jump in front of him: "Then what do you want?"
Xie San had narrow eyebrows and a cold expression, and he looked extremely fierce when he frowned. Cheng Yaoyao was a little scared, but he couldn't bear to part with these rare mushrooms.
She plucked up her courage, picked up the basket and said, "Give me some of these mushrooms... a little bit, and I'll exchange them with bamboo fungus."
Cheng Yaoyao originally wanted to say that they would share it in half when they met, but under Xie San's gaze, he immediately changed his words to "a little bit" and offered him a handful of bamboo fungus.
Xie took the bamboo fungus in his hands. It was a small handful, soft and tender, and it was exactly the same as the one he had just touched.
Seeing Xie San accept the bamboo fungus, Cheng Yaoyao showed a happy smile, but was interrupted by Xie San's words: "This is a gift from you."
"..." Cheng Yaoyao was dumbfounded. Didn't he say no? !
Cheng Yaoyao looked at his basket, which was empty except for a few poor bamboo swallow nests. Xie San's basket was full, and now there was an extra handful of bamboo fungus.
There is no sharing spirit at all! She is about to cry!
Cheng Yaoyao didn't dare to argue with Xie San, and angrily dragged the empty basket away. She didn't dare to get close to the bamboo now, she just searched in the open space, picked two safflowers and threw them into the empty basket.
The delicate girl squatted on the ground, with her head down, like a wronged kitten.
Xie San frowned, and suddenly lifted his basket, moved it over Cheng Yaoyao's empty basket, and tipped it over. With a clang, mushrooms fell into Cheng Yaoyao's basket, filling it up by half in an instant.
Cheng Yaoyao heard the sound, turned around, and looked at Xie San in disbelief: "Are you really giving it to me?"
Xie Sanzhi said, "You can go back now. The forest is dangerous. You shouldn't come here alone."
"I came here with other educated youth." Cheng Yaoyao was only interested in looking through the mushrooms in the basket. In addition to Hericium erinaceus, dried mushrooms and chicken mushrooms, there were also morels and matsutake mushrooms. He didn't hear the hidden meaning of Xie San's words at all. "Thank you, I'll make fried chicken mushrooms later and give you a can."
The city girl speaks in a soft tone with a coquettish twist at the end of her voice. She is so innocent that one can't help but want to satisfy all her requests.
Xie San put the basket in order again and said in a cold tone: "Don't get involved with me. It's good for both you and me."
"But..." Cheng Yaoyao looked at Xie San, was defeated by his cold expression, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Xie San ignored Cheng Yaoyao's accusing look and continued picking mushrooms in the woods. His basket was almost empty, so he had to pick some more to fill it. Cheng Yaoyao didn't leave either, but insisted on sticking to Xie San, following him closely.
I have to find another opportunity to meet Xie San and complete my memory.
But Xie San was extremely alert. As soon as Cheng Yaoyao reached out her hand, he immediately turned around and looked at her coldly. Cheng Yaoyao followed him for a long time, but her fingers couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, so she had no choice but to follow him to pick mushrooms.
Xie San was experienced and could always find mushrooms. Mushrooms grow in a circle, and Cheng Yaoyao could also pick some by following nearby. When Xie San looked at her, she pouted innocently: "I'm afraid of snakes."
Xie San didn't say anything when he heard this, but he didn't try to drive her away.
After searching for a while, Xie San suddenly walked to the big bamboo where Cheng Yaoyao had just squatted. The bamboo was as thick as a bowl, and the roots exposed above the ground were gnarled and mostly dead.
Cheng Yaoyao was still angry, but he still reminded him: "Be careful, there is a snake on that bamboo tree."
Xie San ignored him and scraped away the thick dead leaves on the ground with the back of his knife, revealing a large patch of wet soil between the bamboo roots. Looking closely, the soil was fresh. Xie San poked the ground a few times with the back of his knife, and a hole appeared on the ground.
Cheng Yaoyao walked over curiously and asked, "Is this a bamboo rat's hole?"
Cheng Yaoyao came very close to him. She had a sweet fragrance on her body, like peach blossoms in May.
The snake gall he had just swallowed started to cause trouble, and heat surged in his lower abdomen. Xie San suddenly dodged and changed his posture, half-knelt on the ground with his knees bent. Fortunately, his pants were loose, so he didn't make a fool of himself.
Cheng Yaoyao's finger was just a hair's breadth away from Xie San's shoulder, but he dodged it again: "..."
Xie San put his slender fingers to his lips and made a "click" sound, then he gripped the hatchet tightly and looked at the hole intently.
Cheng Yaoyao wanted to see how he caught the bamboo rat, so he stopped touching him and watched attentively with his peach blossom eyes.
Xie San reached into the cave with the hatchet that he always carried with him and knocked left and right. The ground soon collapsed, and a small tunnel appeared, leading directly to the entrance of the bamboo rat's cave.
Xie San leaned over and stretched his long and strong arms into the hole. When he moved, the muscles of his upper arms and shoulders were stressed. The continuous muscle lines rose and fell, and beads of sweat rolled around. He could be taken directly to a photo studio to take male body photos.
Cheng Yaoyao couldn't help but look at him until a squeaking sound suddenly came from the cave. The bamboo rat's desperate cry was so shrill that it drew Cheng Yaoyao's attention back.
Xie San thrust his hatchet horizontally into the mud to block the hole. He used his left hand to dig up the moist soil layer, revealing two fat bamboo rats huddled together in the hole. One was big and the other was small, and the big one was the one Cheng Yaoyao had just seen.
The bamboo rat was cornered, making piercing squeaks and trying to escape ferociously. Xie San acted quickly, grabbed the bamboo rat's tail and lifted it upside down, and the ferocious bamboo rat immediately became obedient.
The plump bamboo rat blinked its green eyes, which was very funny. Cheng Yaoyao couldn't help laughing.
It was the first time since she came into this world that she showed such a pure smile. Her peach blossom eyes were curved, revealing her snow-white teeth like woven shells, making people want to give the whole world to her.
Cheng Yaoyao poked the bamboo rat's belly with the bamboo stick in his hand, and the bamboo rat squeaked: "It's so fun, it's so fat, can I play with it for a while?"
"Yeah." Xie San glanced at her, pinched the bamboo rat's neck, twisted his wrist, and with a click, the bamboo rat became silent.
Cheng Yaoyao took a breath.
Xie San followed the same method and broke the neck of another bamboo rat, then took it out. He tied the two bamboo rats together with a rope, then turned his head and looked around calmly.
Empty.
Xie San raised his eyes and saw Cheng Yaoyao dragging a basket and tiptoeing a few meters away. He shouted, "Wait a minute."
"Ah? W...what's the matter?" Cheng Yaoyao swallowed obviously, his eyes were wandering and his tone was trembling.
Xie San stood up, picked up the fatter bamboo rat and handed it to her: "Here you go."
The bamboo rat had its neck broken, and it stared at Cheng Yaoyao with its eyes wide open: "!!!!"
Xie San walked forward, rarely saying a word: "Don't you want one? You found the bamboo rat first, so I'll give you one."
Cheng Yaoyao's tears welled up in his eyes as he stammered, "No, no, no, no need..."
