After being exiled, relying on space to pamper the chief assistant

Perhaps it was because of the abundant rain the day before that Ye Zhen randomly wandered around the woods and harvested a basket of fungus and mushrooms, both of which were plants that grew easily on rainy days.

But there are much more fungus than mushrooms. Two-thirds of a full bamboo basket is filled with fungus, and mushrooms only account for a small part.

The woods are very dense, so there are many types of mushrooms growing there, but she only picked the white mushrooms she had eaten.

For other species, even Ye Zhen can't tell whether they are poisonous or not, so she simply doesn't take risks.

After all, the fungus and white mushrooms in this big bamboo basket were probably enough for their family to eat for several days.

Seeing that the bamboo basket was full, Ye Zhen had no choice but to stop picking mushrooms and continue looking for traps.

Now, she is no longer too demanding about whether the trap has caught the prey. After all, she has already gained such a rich harvest.

As she marched with heavy steps, the second and third traps were found, but they were all filled with water, and there was no trace of the prey.

Just when she was about to give up and go home, the last trap brought her an unexpected surprise.

Perhaps it was because the last trap was located relatively high and was not flooded by rainwater. There was only a shallow layer of water at the bottom of the pit.

In the middle of the rain, there was a white-haired rabbit lying down. It was just a little dirty now and its fur was no longer so pure.

This rabbit almost occupies half the size of the pit. It stands to reason that with the rabbit's jumping ability, it should not be trapped in this trap.

But when Ye Zhen found it, the other party had stopped moving, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Such a big rabbit?"

She first put the bamboo basket behind her aside, and then she took the rabbit out of the hole with both hands. She could clearly feel that there was still warmth in her hands.

Is this death or not?

Ye Zhen also had doubts in her heart. When she put the rabbit completely on the ground, she realized why the rabbit, which was as high as her knees, fell into the trap so obediently.

One of its right legs was bloody. Because it had been soaked in rain, the fur on the entire right foot was dyed pink, so it didn't look very bloody.

He was probably scratched by some wild beast and accidentally fell into a trap, unable to escape.

After guessing the cause and effect, Ye Zhen felt a little confused.

The size of this wild rabbit can be said to be four to five times larger than those of modern domestic rabbits, and its weight alone is estimated to be twenty or thirty kilograms.

The basket on the back that Ye Zhen originally planned to use to carry prey was already filled with fungus and mushrooms. An empty bamboo basket was barely enough to hold the rabbit, let alone one filled with other things.

Rabbit or fungus?

This choice was placed in front of Ye Zhen, but from the bottom of her heart, she did not want to give up either way.

"Try it!"

Gritting her teeth, Ye Zhen cheered herself up, first put the bamboo basket on her back, then squatted down and picked up the rabbit with great effort.

At this time, she didn't care that the hem of her skirt was stained with rabbit blood, and trudged down the mountain.

Because the rabbit was so big, she couldn't see the path under her feet at all and could only look into the distance.

The woods that have just rained are undoubtedly very humid, and the soft soil and plants underfoot make people feel very incapable of warning.

Just when Ye Zhen was halfway down the mountain, she suddenly felt a pain in her ankle, and she squatted down on her butt.

"What?! It hurts!"

After putting down the rabbit, she was horrified to find that a green snake was being stepped on under her feet, and the snake's head had been wrapped around her ankles.

The pain just now was caused by the snake biting her.

"Fuck!"

No matter how mentally strong Ye Zhen was, when she faced a venomous snake about the thickness of a fist, her entire body went numb.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. Before the opponent could take a second bite, she quickly pulled out the sickle from behind, cut the opponent in half and threw it away.

The green snake that was cut in half was still twisting its body, but it was obviously fatally injured and was just making a final struggle.

Ye Zhen, who was slumped on the ground, was still a little shocked. She had only seen such a big snake in the zoo. How could she have imagined that one day she would have close contact with it.

But the wound on her ankle was still aching, and her rationality told her that she had to treat the wound quickly. If the snake was poisonous, she would be in danger.

But she was not an encyclopedia, so she had no idea what kind of snake the snake in front of her was or whether it was venomous or not.

"System, how many merit points are needed for the serum to treat snake venom?"

Regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, Ye Zhen didn't want to bet her own life and simply considered exchanging the serum.

After a while, a mechanical voice sounded in her mind:

"It was detected that the one that bit you was a green tree python, which is not venomous. If you need to exchange it, a universal snake venom serum requires 500 merit points."

Five hundred? Hiss, it’s really dark!

Considering that the system would not deceive her, she decided not to spend the wasted money. Now she only had a little over 2,000 merit points, and 500 for anything else was not enough.

Ye Zhen, who was soothed by the system's words, stood up from the ground and did not forget to hug the huge rabbit.

As for the python carcass, although this thing may be worth some money, after all, many people eat snake meat in modern times, and they all say that snake gallbladder is very replenishing.

But Ye Zhen really didn't have the courage to have close contact with the other party, so she avoided him and hurried down the mountain.

Fortunately, apart from some pain in my ankles, no other accidents occurred during my descent this time.

As soon as Ye Zhen came out of the forest and faced the sun, she immediately felt that the temperature had risen a lot, and she couldn't help but start to sweat.

She was holding a giant furry rabbit weighing 20 to 30 kilograms in front of her, and she was also carrying several dozen kilograms of fungus and mushrooms on her back. It was really tiring.

If it weren't for the fact that the original owner had a pretty good life in the past and her body wasn't as malnourished as other ancient women, she probably wouldn't have been able to carry these things down the mountain.

But even so, Ye Zhen still walked and stopped, stopping to take a breath from time to time.

When she was about to arrive at the bamboo house, a figure appeared behind her and shouted in surprise:

"Thank you, Mrs. Thank you?!"

Ye Zhen stopped when she heard the sound, turned around with difficulty and looked at the person.

The other person looked familiar, and seemed to be a villager she had met before. However, there were so many villagers that, except for Aunt Huang's family, with whom she had a close relationship, it was really difficult for her to tell who was who.

The people who come to their house every morning to deliver eels and snails are mostly women, and men rarely appear, so Ye Zhen has a slightly deeper impression of the women in the village.

At this time, the person who made the sound was obviously a man. He was carrying tools on his shoulders, and he looked like he had just come out of the field.

"What's going on with you?"

The villager walked quickly to Ye Zhen and quickly put down the tools on his shoulders, intending to help the latter bear part of the weight.

But Ye Zhen shook her head. Although she was very tired, she still managed a smile in response to the other party.

"It's okay. I just went to the back mountain to pick some mushrooms and caught a rabbit by the way."

When she turned around, the villagers saw the giant rabbit in her arms, and their eyes widened.

Among the villagers who were exiled here, there were also some capable military officers who had also thought of going hunting in the back mountains.

Not to mention the long distance, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. There are indeed many wild beasts in the back mountains, and some people have lost their lives because of them.

Therefore, no one has taken up this idea over the years.

Now that they saw that Ye Zhen, a female prostitute, could hunt down prey alone, the villagers showed admiration on their faces.

Facing the other party's shocked eyes, Ye Zhen was afraid that the other party would misunderstand that she was a peerless master, so she quickly said:

"My husband and I set some traps a few days ago, and these were all caught in the traps."

When Xie Yunshu's name was mentioned, the villagers nodded clearly.

When the opponent was famous in the capital, it was not only because of his appearance and his glorious record of winning three yuan in a row, but also because of his excellent literary and military skills.

Xie Yunshu's martial arts skills are among the best among the younger generation in the capital. He learned from the former top master in the palace, but this master was too upright and left angrily after being tricked by the traitors in the palace a few years ago.

Even Xie Yunshu, a disciple, doesn't know where he is now.

"Do you need my help?"

The villager stretched out his hand and tried to take the rabbit from Ye Zhen.

It would be unbearable for anyone to have such a heavy weight on a lady, right?

What's more, Ye Zhen also gave them advice and opened up a way of making money by selling eels and snails, allowing all the villagers in the village to get an extra income.

Although eels and snails are being raised, after the villagers sell most of the adults, the juveniles in the fields can no longer cause much damage to the crops.

This is equivalent to every household picking up a lot of money in vain, and the villagers are extremely grateful to Ye Zhen!

Seeing that the other party was filled with sincerity and goodwill, Ye Zhen stretched out her hand, preparing to hand the giant rabbit to the other party.

However, at this moment, a hand reached out from behind her and directly picked up two rabbit ears.

Ye Zhen, who instantly felt a light touch on her hands, couldn't help but look back and saw that it was Xie Yunshu who had come over at some unknown time.

At this time, Xie Yunshu frowned. After looking her up and down, his words contained some nervous meaning:

"Are you hurt?!"

It's not that he misunderstood. After taking the giant rabbit away, Ye Zhen looked messy and even had pink blood stains on her lower skirt, which didn't look good.

Hearing this, she quickly waved her hand, pointed at the rabbit the other person was holding and said:

"No, no, it's all blood from the rabbit. I don't know what kind of beast bit this rabbit, and I don't know if it's still alive."

As for the snake bite wound on her ankle, she selectively ignored it.

Anyway, the other party couldn't see it, and the green tree python wasn't poisonous, so there was no need for her to say it and make the other party worry.

After hearing what she said, Xie Yunshu relaxed his mind unconsciously, glanced at the rabbit in his hand and said:

"There is still some breath."

"That's good. If it's completely dead, I won't dare to eat it."

Ye Zhen patted her chest with some luck, and finally felt relieved. Fortunately, her hard work along the way was not in vain.

It's not that she is too cautious, it's because the prey that died in the wild may have some kind of germs on it, some of which cannot be killed even by high temperatures.

Aren't many diseases in modern times caused by some people eating game indiscriminately just to satisfy their appetite?

However, Xie Yunshu’s hearing is quite good!

Ye Zhen looked at the other party suspiciously. She was located more than a hundred meters away from the bamboo house!

When I went back earlier, I didn't see any human figures. In just two words, the other party rushed over. Could it be that he heard his voice?

She did not ask this question, because with Xie Yunshu's melancholy character, he would not admit it even if it was true.

"Haha, the relationship between Mr. Xie and his wife is so good!"
