The villager's voice interrupted the two men's gaze.

Ye Zhen smiled at him, and she did not comment whether the other party said that she and Xie Yunshu had a good relationship.

Although the two of them knew very well that their relationship was just a cooperative relationship, a pretend couple.

But in front of outsiders, you still have to show affection appropriately.

"Then we'll go back first, you're busy."

After saying hello, Ye Zhen followed Xie Yunshu back. Without the weight of the giant rabbit in her arms, she felt much more relaxed.

The villager also waved his hand, picked up his tools, and walked towards his original destination.

As soon as she returned to the yard, Ye Zhen took down the bamboo basket from behind and placed it at the door of the kitchen.

Xie Yunshu followed behind her, silently carrying the rabbit.

"Let's put this in the yard first. I guess it won't live long."

Looking at the giant rabbit, Ye Zhen asked Xie Yunshu to pile it up in the yard, planning to change clothes first.

She was dirty and messy from the water stains and blood stains on the rabbit's body. In addition, the journey was hot and tiring, and she was even more sweaty.

She couldn't stand this.

So he boiled hot water, carried a big wooden bucket, and took a bath in the back room.

Zhao Yi, who was practicing writing in the outer room, ran into the yard because she was taking a shower.

When Ye Zhen put on new clothes and walked out clean and fresh, she saw Zhao Yi squatting in front of the rabbit, observing carefully.

Children are naturally fond of such cute and soft animals, and Ye Zhen is not surprised by this.

"What's wrong? Xiaoyi, do you like this rabbit?"

Zhao Yi turned his head when he heard the voice, looked at her and hesitated for a moment, nodded and shook his head.

There is a tangled look in the small eyes, which is too obvious.

Ye Zhen thought he felt sorry for the rabbit and wanted to keep it but didn't dare to say it, so she took the initiative to comfort him:

"It's okay! If you want to keep it, we will keep it!"

It was just a rabbit, and she was not so reluctant to part with it. After all, she was rich now and had no shortage of meat to eat.

After rescuing Zhao Yi from the traffickers, Ye Zhen discovered that perhaps because of the stimulation of such a tragic experience, the other party's desire for expression was very weak.

It's okay when facing her, and I can occasionally say a few words. If there are outsiders present, he will look completely timid like an autistic child.

This is not good, so Ye Zhen is very willing to enlighten the other party.

However, what Zhao Yi blurted out shocked her.

"Isn't this rabbit for eating? Why do we keep it?"

There was a lot of confusion in his small eyes, as if he didn't understand why Ye Zhen said something about raising rabbits.

As for Ye Zhen, the smile on her face had froze at this time, and she couldn't adapt to the other party's straightforward words.

Sure enough, children in this era cannot be replaced by modern children.

It was also her own thinking that was too naive. In the current dynasty, people at the age of ten are already considered a labor force. How can they have time to be innocent?

Especially in poor rural areas, teenage girls are married and have children, without any childhood at all.

"Yes, I originally planned to eat it. If you don't want to feed us, just stew it at night."

Saying that, Ye Zhen quickly took a look around, and after finding Xie Yunshu's figure, she quickly changed the topic as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Can you handle rabbits?"

Upon hearing her question, Xie Yunshu nodded without hesitation, and walked over directly without being asked.

The process was a bit bloody. Although Zhao Yi was not as innocent as modern children, Ye Zhen still refused to let him see such a scene and called people into the room to continue practicing calligraphy.

As for herself, she entered the kitchen and prepared to pack the fungus and mushrooms picked today.

The total amount of fungus and mushrooms in a bamboo basket weighs twenty to thirty kilograms, so much that the family may not be able to finish them all at the moment.

Ye Zhen then thought about drying part of the fungus and mushrooms for easier storage.

I also set aside an extra portion for Aunt Huang to try. The mushroom soup she sent last time was well received by her.

Today, the rabbit is estimated to weigh more than ten kilograms after being cleaned up, and she plans to give some of it to the other party.

These days, Aunt Huang takes a lot of care of Ye Zhen's family. Whether it's setting up a stall in the county town or doing some trivial matters, she spares no effort to help.

Of course, people in the entire village are very warm and friendly to their family, but there are not many things, and it is impossible for every household to share them.

Xie Yunshu's movements were very swift. As soon as Ye Zhen washed half of the fungus, the other party came in carrying the rabbit with only a piece of white flesh left.

Ye Zhen put him on the chopping board, and the plump rabbit almost covered the entire chopping board.

"You go to help Xiao Yi with his homework first. I don't need your help with anything else."

Hearing this, Xie Yunshu just nodded lightly and walked into the room without saying a word.

When he was about to turn around, he suddenly caught sight of Ye Zhen's ankles exposed from the hem of her skirt out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes narrowed.

In his sharp vision, a pair of very small wounds were very obvious on the snow-white skin.

His movements paused, and after looking up at Ye Zhen who was still immersed in washing the fungus, he returned to his normal appearance and continued his movements.

Ye Zhen, who kept her head down and continued to fight with the fungus, didn't notice this at all. Perhaps because the wound on her foot no longer hurt after taking a bath, she ignored it.

Bending down to wash so many fungus and mushrooms was a strenuous task. It took her nearly half an hour to wash them all.

It was almost afternoon after washing. She thought it was still early, so she packed out some fungus, chopped a quarter of a rabbit, and put it in a clean basket.

She covered the remaining rabbit meat on the chopping board with a piece of cloth, informed Xie Yunshu, and went out with the basket.

This road went straight to Aunt Huang's house. The sun in the sky was still very hot. Fortunately, the journey was not too far, and we arrived in a short time.

After entering the house, as usual, Aunt Huang was the only one at home.

Ye Zhen handed the basket in her hand to the other party and said with a smile:

"Aunt Huang, I went to the back mountain to pick some fungus today and caught a rabbit. Our family of three can't eat it, so I'll bring you some to try."

Aunt Huang took the basket with shock on her face, and her eyes when she looked at Ye Zhen became unusual.

Back Mountain is a very taboo place for them, after all, some people lost their lives there.

At first, she just wanted to remind the other person in good faith, but she didn't expect that the other person was so talented and bold, and dared to go deep into the back mountain.

When Ye Zhen sent mushroom soup to Aunt Huang before, she did not say that she went to the back mountain to pick it, which caused the misunderstanding that the other party thought she bought it.

She was even more surprised when she saw the huge piece of rabbit meat in the basket. This piece of meat was estimated to be at least four or five kilograms.

Not to mention rare items like rabbit meat, even the most common pork, such a large piece costs a lot of money.

"This... this is too expensive, I can't have it!"

Aunt Huang didn't even have time to look at the fungus below, she just stuffed the basket back into the basket.

Through this period of contact, she knew that Ye Zhen was a very generous person and would give away expensive things as soon as she asked.

But even Aunt Huang would not dare to accept such a plump piece of rabbit meat.

"Just take it! These are not much, I have plenty in my house! You have helped us a lot these days, so you can afford this small thank you."

Ye Zhen refused to take the basket back at all, making it clear that she must send it out.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Aunt Huang pushed her a few more times before accepting her offer.

The things had been collected, but she did not forget to remind the other party that it was better not to go to the back mountain. The attack of wild beasts had left a deep impression on the villagers like them.

Regarding this question, Ye Zhen's attitude was obviously more perfunctory. She was still thinking about the fungus and mushrooms that she had not picked back from the forest.

Even if their family can’t eat it, selling it is still a source of income!

Later, Aunt Huang brought up something serious, which made her attitude become more serious.

"I asked Huang Chuan about the green bricks. He said that the brick kiln in the county paid five cents for each green brick and brought its own workers to build the house, but the bricklayers and workers had to be found elsewhere. He will help you ask in the next two days

I will get back to you when I have any news about the specific situation."

Mentioning this matter, Ye Zhen nodded, knowing that building a house could not be rushed.

After all, it is a big deal, and you still have to make sure plans are in place before you can feel confident spending money to hire people to start the work.

In this matter, Huang Chuan is more reliable. Ye Zhen trusts him very much and doesn't plan to work blindly on her own.

"Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news."

After chatting for a few words, Ye Zhen stood up and left.

The sun was gradually setting in the sky, and she had to go back to make dinner. There were a large family and a small family waiting for her.

Aunt Huang did not try to persuade her to stay this time, because she herself had to be busy cooking for her son and daughter-in-law who were about to return.

Ye Zhen was walking on the way home, thinking absentmindedly about her next plan.

If I don't redeem something from the system that can promote the development of villagers, there seems to be nothing I can do at this stage.

It would be no problem for her to make money to support her family. Even without a system, she could do it with her modern knowledge.

However, to cure Xie Yunshu's leg injury now, he must use the medicine provided by the system.

Those people were also ordered to kill him at the beginning and almost broke one of his legs. Fortunately, Ye Zhen later exchanged some ointments from the system and stabilized his condition.

But he was injured, and with the current level of Chinese medicine, it was definitely impossible to cure him. The only way to treat it was through a systematic approach.

You really put a lot of effort into it!

Thinking like this, Ye Zhen suddenly saw a black shadow flashing before her eyes, and fell down not far from her.

"Bang!"

A burst of dust rose up, and the black shadow swayed for a while, and finally came into close contact with the earth.

Seeing a person fall in front of her, Ye Zhen was stunned.

She looked around and saw that there was no one on the road. The villagers were probably still working in the fields at this moment.

Ye Zhen had to get closer and saw clearly that the black figure seemed to be a person.

The man was lying face-on on the ground, his head slightly tilted to one side, but his face was covered by some messy hair.

Only the two exposed hands were covered with scars and the blood had dried up.

Seeing that the other person's whole body exuded the smell of blood and was obviously seriously injured, Ye Zhen showed a tangled look on his face.

Who is this person?

Appearing here with this appearance, he is obviously not from the village.

Ye Zhen was wary, but the other party was like this and couldn't answer her questions.

She wanted to leave, but as an adult who grew up under socialism, she really couldn't do such a thing.

"Forget it! Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"

After gritting her teeth silently, Ye Zhen finally surrendered to her own compassion and walked over to help the person up.
