Chapter 111 This...isn't this a chestnut?
"Thank you, Sister Tao."

Wang Zhou's voice was choked with sobs. He ate very quickly and finished it in two or three bites. Seeing that there were still noodles left in everyone's bowls, he scratched his head embarrassedly and explained:
"I eat faster."

"It's ok."

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

It is no longer swollen, but the food is not very good, so the person is still thin.

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

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

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

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

Naturally, Tao Xi and the others didn't stay any longer. While they were full, everyone worked hard, and within two days, all the seeds were planted.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, it rained one after another in the past two days, and Lizheng was also relieved, which meant that their sweet potato and potato harvests should not be bad.

The food problem in winter has been solved, and now the problem of finding food is even more urgent.

Jian Shiwu took the last step of loading the bow and arrow, and then handed it to Tao Xi, "Sister-in-law, this is done according to your request."

The previous beef tendon Taoxi specially asked Chen Orion to deal with it. Now it is just right to make bows and arrows, and the arrows are made of bamboo.

She touched it with her hand, and praised Jian Shiwu happily: "Second brother, you have done a good job, this is exactly what I need."

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

Today's Jian Shiwu has changed from her previous habit of being a poisonous tongue, and getting along with her is much more comfortable.

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

Chen Liehu is very skilled and often goes hunting in the deep mountains, so his family's food is the best in Taomu Village.

The children in the village envy the children of Chen Liehu's family, who can have a bite of meat from time to time.

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

Although sweet potatoes are planted, it is guaranteed not to starve to death. Tao Xi does not want to live on sweet potatoes all winter.

Although she can take food out from the space, cooking meat is often too eye-catching, so it is better to prepare it early.

"I want to go too!"

Jian Erni is very active, if not for her leg problem, Jian Shiwu would also like to go.

Even the little Jian Shiyi was full of anticipation, but Tao Xi rejected them all.

"All of you take good care of the house. If Erni really can't take it easy, take a walk at the foot of the mountain."

"me and you together."

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

"I'll go by myself."

Although Jian Shiming's illness has improved a lot, but her body is weak and she can't carry it on her shoulders or hands. She is worried that she will be hindered.

"I've been exercising recently."

Jian Shiming said aggrievedly, ever since she found out that she treated Chen Liehu differently, Jian Shiming has been gritting his teeth and training himself since he settled down.

He pursed his lips lightly, his black eyes were filled with anticipation, and Tao Xi's heart softened for a moment, "Then you follow me closely."

"it is good."

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

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

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

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

But except for the bold ones like Chen Orion, in fact, many people still dare not go into the deep mountains.

But looking at the land at the foot of the mountain that was about to be bald, Tao Xi understood that it was impossible to survive on this.

She walked in front with a pannier and a bow and arrow, Jian Shiming walked behind with a slingshot, and the two entered the mountain one after the other.

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

"Brother Ming's family, you also go to the mountains to find food."

Although Hu Ziniang couldn't figure it out, she was very enthusiastic every time she faced Tao Xi, and Tao Xi showed a just right smile.

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

After realizing her mistake, Hu Ziniang is very generous to Tao Xi now, but Tao Xi glanced at the few mushrooms in front of her and shook his head:

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

"It's about to reach the deep mountain inside, it's not safe, please be careful."

Hu Ziniang knew that Tao Xi was capable, so she didn't stop Tao Xi, but just gave an order.

"Thank you for the reminder, auntie."

Tao Xi smiled, and continued to walk in. The more people went inside, the fewer people there were. Jian Shiming followed Tao Xi cautiously.

"Miss, be careful."

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

Tao Xi found Jian Shiming's state as soon as she turned her head. She thoughtfully did not expose him, "Let's rest for a while."

"it is good."

Jian Shiming's heart was so cold that it was over, the lady must have realized that it was because of his lack of physical strength that she said to rest.

Does she never want to take herself with her next time?

Jian Shiming was very annoyed, it seems that the exercise during this period is not enough, he must keep fit.

"Shh!"

Tao Xi, who was resting on the spot, suddenly made a silent movement, and pulled the bow and arrow in his hand.

Appeal!
With an arrow piercing the air, Jian Shiming looked up and saw the hare that was shot to the ground not far away.

The arrow made of bamboo wasn't very powerful after all. Although the hare was crooked, it didn't die. Tao Xi picked it up and looked at it, and suddenly another idea came to his mind.

"Sanggong, how do you think we can raise this wild rabbit?"

Wild rabbits reproduce very quickly, so that they have enough meat to eat during the winter.

"I listen to you."

Jian Shiming walked to her side, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, as if as long as Tao Xi said it, he thought it was good.

"Then keep it."

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

The two continued to walk in, because they wanted to raise wild rabbits, so Tao Xi was very careful along the way, and then successfully captured three more wild rabbits.

Remember to raise them, so she is very gentle, and even one of them was fainted by her.

There was no room in the back basket, and Jian Shiming carried it. He looked at the girl walking wantonly in the deep mountains with complicated eyes, and followed her footsteps closely.

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

Suddenly, Tao Xi looked at the prickly fur ball on the ground and was very excited, but Jian Shiming behind him did not recognize him.

"What does this... thing do?"
