Chapter 16: The Harvest

"Poof", suddenly, there was a sound from the place where the trap was set before, interrupting Cai Xiaoxiao's frustration: "Ah, hit." With that, she hurried to the place of the trap, and did not forget to take away the corpse of the snake on the ground when she left, after all, the snake soup is very replenishing!

"Tiny!" Zhao Kangcheng saw it and hurriedly caught up.

The traps set by Cai Xiaoxiao are not very clever, mainly to catch some small animals.

She had set up a hole in which some sharp branches had been placed.

Cai Xiaoxiao rushed to the trap, looked at the cave, and then opened his eyes in surprise: "There is!" There is a white rabbit lying in the cave at the moment, and its abdomen is directly interspersed with a hole by a branch. "When the fur is peeled off, there will definitely be holes, and if there are holes, it will not be sold for a good price. But it can't be helped, after all, she doesn't have a trap.

Zhao Kangcheng chased after him, and also saw the hole and the rabbit in the hole, and was a little surprised: "Xiaoxiao, this is what you did." ”

"yes." Cai Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to take out the rabbit, and then said to Zhao Kangcheng ostentatiously, "How?" Xianggong, I'm amazing. ”

"You still say!" Zhao Kangcheng then realized what he was doing when he came up the mountain, "Who let you go up the mountain!" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao blinked, then stood silently and obediently, and said, "I'm sorry, but Xianggong, you also went up the mountain." ”

"I'm here for you!"

"But Xianggong, you can also see that I didn't encounter any danger, and you see, I also harvested so many ingredients." She said as she picked up the pile of ingredients wrapped in her coat.

Only then did Zhao Kangcheng notice that Cai Xiaoxiao had also taken off his shirt! frowned and said, "Why did you take off your coat, how will you go back to the village later?" "It will be said by the villagers.

Cai Xiaoxiao explained: "No way, I didn't bring a bamboo basket, so I had to wrap it in a coat." ”

"Who told you to sneak up the mountain!" The more he talked about Zhao Kangcheng, the more angry he became, "No wonder you promised so happily yesterday, just to deceive me and then come secretly today, right?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao pointed at each other aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, because I don't want Xianggong to be angry." ”

"Then have you ever thought that if you do this, I will be more angry and worried!"

"I'm sorry......" So far, she can only keep apologizing.

Zhao Kangcheng: "......" The other party's attitude of admitting his mistake was so sincere, it almost made him angry but couldn't get angry, he helplessly held his forehead: "You...... Can you discuss with me what to do next time? Stop acting on your own and worry about it? ”

"Uh-huh, I see." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.

"Alas...... Are you going to continue now? Zhao Kangcheng asked.

"Hmm." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded, "There are still a few traps, go first to see if there is any gain, and then you can go back." ”

"Let's go, then." Zhao Kangcheng took the coat package and rabbit in Cai Xiaoxiao's hand, and the body of the snake was put into the coat package by Cai Xiaoxiao.

Cai Xiaoxiao set up a total of five traps, and after checking them one by one, three traps fell into prey, a rabbit, a chicken, and even a wild boar cub! This made Cai Xiaoxiao very surprised, she didn't expect that there would be such a rich harvest when she first entered the mountain, and the wild boar was definitely unexpected by her!

It is estimated that because no one has ever disturbed this back mountain, the animals here are relatively simple, so they will fall into the trap so easily.

Zhao Kangcheng was very surprised when he saw it, obviously he didn't expect Cai Xiaoxiao to harvest so much prey.

However, how to transport it back is a difficult problem, after all, there are too many prey, and it is not easy for the two of them to take it, but if they are placed on the mountain to take it back and forth twice, I am afraid that the prey will be eaten by other wild beasts before they come back.

"Anyway, Xianggong, let's take the prey down the mountain first, and then stay for fear that the blood will attract other beasts." Cai Xiaoxiao proposed.

"Hmm." Zhao Kangcheng agreed.

Zhao Kangcheng also took off his coat and then tied the rabbit and pheasant together, and then worked with Cai Xiaoxiao to drag the wild boar cub down the mountain, and then it was a question of how to go back.

"We're going to cause a commotion if we go back like this." Cai Xiaoxiao said.

Zhao Kangcheng looked around and said, "There is a road behind the village that can be bypassed, let's go." Saying that, he carried the wild boar cub and handed it over to Cai Xiaoxiao.

"Wow! Xianggong is so amazing! Cai Xiaoxiao adored, "I thought Xianggong was a scholar and didn't have much strength." ”

Zhao Kangcheng glanced at her: "I still have exercise." ”

"Hehe, I see it."

The two of them went around the long way to avoid the villagers and returned home, and Zhao Wang was very surprised to see the prey in the hands of the two: "You are ...... of these"

"We're up the mountain." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, we have meat to eat tonight." ”

"Up the mountain?" Zhao Wang was shocked, "Are you two of you?" ”

"Hmm!" Cai nodded slightly.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Wangshi suddenly reprimanded angrily, "The mountain is so dangerous, who let you go!" What if you encounter a ferocious beast? You too, who told you to take Xiaoxiao up the mountain? Is this how you take care of your daughter-in-law! ”

"No, mother-in-law, it's my ......" I didn't want Zhao Kangcheng to be blamed, Cai Xiaoxiao wanted to say that it was her responsibility, but was stopped by Zhao Kangcheng: "I'm sorry, mother, this is the last time." ”

"Huh? The last time? Cai Xiaoxiao looked at him, with some reluctance in her eyes, she still wanted to go again in the future.

Zhao Kangcheng glared at her: Do you want to have a second time?

Cai Xiaoxiao: "...... That, I'm going to deal with the prey ......" to change the subject.

In fact, Zhao Wangshi also guessed that half of the reason for going up the mountain must be because of Cai Xiaoxiao, she shook her head helplessly and said to Zhao Kangcheng: "You also spoil her too much, how can you let her go to the back mountain if it is so dangerous." ”

Zhao Kangcheng smiled slightly and said, "When it comes to petting Xiaoxiao, I can't compare to my mother." She found a lot of medicinal herbs and said that she would give you a tonic for your body. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wangshi couldn't help but laugh: "She has a heart." ”

"Well, mother, go back to the room and rest, I'll help her."

"Go ahead."

Zhao Kangcheng came to the kitchen and saw Cai Xiaoxiao sorting the ingredients and medicinal herbs one by one, he stepped forward and asked her, "What are you going to do?" Is there anything I can do to help? ”

"Hmm......" Cai Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "then...... Xianggong will help me wash these ginseng and vegetables, I plan to use them with snake meat to make soup. ”

"That's it?" It's too easy a task.

"Well, that's all." Cai nodded slightly.
