Chapter 111 This...isn't this chestnut?

"Thank you, Sister Tao."

Wang Zhou's voice was choked with sobs. He ate very quickly and finished it in a few seconds. Seeing that there were still noodles left in everyone's bowls, he scratched his head in embarrassment and explained:

"I eat faster."

"It doesn't matter."

Tao Xi and others knew that Wang Zhou was very hungry. After leaving his own village, he followed the team to find whatever he could eat along the way.

I am no longer bloated, but my food is not very good, so I am still skinny.

After eating, Jian Erni took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Wang Zhou didn't stay any longer.

"I'm going back first, the seeds at home haven't been planted yet."

He is the only one in Wang Zhou's family, so he has to rely on himself to open up wasteland. He also has to find food, so he lives a very hard life.

But these days, who doesn’t live a hard life?

Naturally, Tao Xi and the others did not stay much longer. They took advantage of the fact that they were full and worked hard. In just two days, all the seeds were planted.

Fortunately, the weather has been kind, and it has rained continuously in the past two days. Li Zheng was relieved, which means that their sweet potato and potato harvest should not be bad.

Having solved the food problem in winter, now the problem of finding food is even more urgent.

Jian Shiwu took the last step of loading the bow and arrows, then handed it to Tao Xi, "Sister-in-law, this is as you asked."

Taoxi asked Chen Orion to take care of the previous beef tendon. Now it is just right to make a bow and arrow, and the arrow is made of bamboo.

She touched it and happily praised Jian Shiwu: "Second brother, you did a great job. This is exactly what I need."

"I'm very happy to be able to help my sister-in-law."

Nowadays, Jian Shiwu has changed his previous habit of being venomous, and it is much more comfortable to get along with him.

Jian Erni looked at the bow and arrow in Tao Xi's hand with envy, "Sister-in-law, are you planning to go into the mountains like Brother Chen?"

Orion Chen is very skilled and often goes into the mountains to hunt, so his food is the best in Taomu Village.

The children in the village all envied the children of Chen Orion's family, who could eat meat from time to time.

Tao Xi nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we have to save some food before it gets cold."

Although the sweet potatoes were planted, it would ensure that they would not starve to death. Tao Xi did not want to live solely on sweet potatoes throughout the winter.

Although she can take food out of the space, cooking meat is often too eye-catching, so she had better prepare it in advance.

"I want to go too!"

Jian Erni is very positive. If it weren't for her leg problem, Jian Shiwu would also want to go.

Even the little Jian Shiyi was full of expectations, but unfortunately he was rejected by Tao Xi.

"You two, please take good care of my house. If Erni really can't sit still, take a walk at the foot of the mountain."

"I'm with you."

Jian Shiming put down the book in his hand, looking very serious, but Tao Xi looked at his thin figure and hesitated.

"I'd better go by myself."

Although Jian Shiming's illness had improved to some extent, she was still frail and could not carry it on her shoulders or lift it with her hands, so she was worried that it would hold her back.

"I've been exercising recently."

Jian Shiming spoke aggrievedly. Ever since he found out that she treated Chen Orion in a different light, Jian Shiming had been gritting his teeth and training himself since settling down.

He pursed his lips lightly, his dark eyes full of expectation. Tao Xi softened his heart for a moment, "Then follow me closely."

"good."

Jian Shiming nodded hastily, but Tao Xi was worried and gave his slingshot to Jian Shiming before setting off.

"No matter what you encounter, you must protect yourself first."

"Okay, I'll try my best not to hold you back."

Jian Shiming is very self-aware. It rained a few days ago and the foot of the mountain is still wet. But there is no way. In order to survive, everyone still goes into the mountain one after another.

However, except for the bold ones like Chen Orion, many people still dare not go into the mountains.

But looking at the land at the foot of the mountain that was about to be denuded, Tao Xi understood that he simply couldn't survive on this.

She walked in front carrying a backpack and bow and arrows, and Jian Shiming walked behind with a slingshot. The two entered the mountain one after the other.

Tao Xi was banging in front of her with a wooden stick. Jian Shiming followed her closely and met villagers on the road.

"Brother Ming's family, you also go into the mountains to look for food."

Although Hu Ziniang couldn't understand clearly, she was very enthusiastic every time she faced Tao Xi, and Tao Xi smiled just right.

"Well, there's nothing to eat at home."

This is also the reason why she often comes out. She never goes out but has something to eat, which will inevitably arouse everyone's suspicion.

"Come on, come on, I have mushrooms here, come and pick some."

After Hu Zi Niang realized her mistake, she was now very generous to Tao Xi. However, Tao Xi glanced at the few mushrooms in front of her and shook his head:

"Auntie, you can pick it yourself. I want to walk further in."

"It's almost deep inside the mountain. It's not safe. Please be careful."

Hu Zi Niang knew that Tao Xi was capable, so she did not stop Tao Xi, but just gave him a warning.

"Thank you, aunt, for reminding me."

Tao Xi smiled and continued walking inside. There were fewer and fewer people going inside. Jian Shiming followed Tao Xi cautiously.

"Madam, be careful."

The frail scholar Jian Shiming was already out of breath, but he was afraid that Tao Xi would find out, so he had been trying to adjust his breathing.

Tao Xi noticed Jian Shiming's state as soon as she turned around. She was considerate and did not expose him, "Let's take a rest for a while."

"good."

Jian Shiming felt a chill in his heart. It was over. His wife must have found out that it was because of his lack of physical strength that she decided to take a rest.

Does she not want to take him with her next time?

Jian Shiming was very upset. It seemed that the exercise during this period was not enough. He had to strengthen his body.

"Shh!"

Tao Xi, who was sitting there and resting, suddenly made a silent gesture and pulled the bow and arrow in his hand.

Call!

An arrow shot through the air. Jian Shiming looked up and saw the hare that had been shot to the ground not far away.

The arrow made of bamboo was not very powerful after all. Although the hare was crooked, it was not killed. When Tao Xi picked it up and took a look, another idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Ms. sir, how do you think we can raise this hare?"

Rabbits reproduce very quickly so that they have enough meat to eat during the winter.

"It's all up to you."

Jian Shiming walked to her side, his eyebrows gentle, as if whatever Tao Xi said was good to him.

"Then keep it."

Tao Xi looked at the hare's wound, casually took some herbs to stop the bleeding and applied it to his leg, then threw the hare into the basket.

The two continued walking inside. Because they wanted to raise hares, Tao Xi was careful all the way, and successfully captured three more hares.

Remembering to raise them, she was very gentle, and one of them even fainted from her fright.

There was no room for him to fit in the backpack, so he was carried by Jian Shiming. His dark eyes looked at the girl who was walking wantonly in the mountains with complicated eyes, and he followed her footsteps closely.

"This...isn't this chestnut?"

Suddenly Tao Xi looked at the prickly fur ball on the ground and was very excited. However, he didn't recognize Jian Shiming behind him.

"What does this... thing do?"
