The sturdy little peasant girl, the rough man is the favorite of the gods

Chapter 40
In an instant, Jiang Yao suddenly felt that she couldn't help laughing as if she heard some joke.

However, Wei Chengye had a serious face, he didn't seem to be lying to her, and there was worry in his eyes from the bottom of his heart. She felt that it was not good to laugh at Second Brother Wei like this.

Taking a few deep breaths in the dark, Jiang Yao finally calmed down her excitement, and took the burr ball from Wei Chengye's hand with a smile.

"Who said I want to eat the thorns of my coat?"

After a rough inspection, she found that the chestnut was fresh, so Jiang Yao squatted down, stepped on half of the chestnut, then held the sickle firmly, and slammed down on the chestnut.

Under Wei Chengye's puzzled eyes, the outer thorn shell became two halves. Jiang Yao folded the clothes to make sure that the thickness was enough to prevent her hands from being pricked.

She put the thorn ball in the middle of the clothes and broke it hard to remove the thorn shell, revealing the chestnut inside.

"Here, this is what I want to eat. But there is still a shell on the outside. You have to peel off this shell to eat the fruit inside."

While explaining, Jiang Yao put the chestnut back into Wei Chengye's palm like offering a treasure.

Wei Chengye was a little hesitant, but when he thought that Jiang Yao could actually make stinky tofu and tofu boxes, such delicious food, he could really eat it without cooking it.

Thinking of this, Wei Chengye peeled off the outer shell as Jiang Yao said.

"That's right, that's it, try it quickly." Jiang Yao nodded approvingly, her big eyes full of anticipation.

Facing Jiang Yao's scorching gaze, Wei Chengye fed a whole chestnut into his mouth without even thinking about it.

For some reason, it was obviously only a momentary movement, but Jiang Yao was a little apprehensive.

When the white chestnut fruit touched Wei Chengye's thin red lips, it was very visually impactful, and Jiang Yao couldn't help swallowing.

Realizing her gaffe, before Wei Chengye found out, she quickly looked away and awkwardly changed the subject.

"How does it taste? Isn't it crunchy and sweet, delicious?"

Hearing this, Wei Chengye deliberately waited for a while to confirm that there was nothing unusual in his body before answering.

"Well, it's really good, with a little regret."

"This is only the effect of eating it raw. If it is cooked, it will be sweeter and more delicious. But my favorite is the chestnut fried in sugar. It is delicious! Once you eat it with your arms around you, you can't stop!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yao felt as if a large slice of fried chestnuts appeared in front of her, and couldn't help swallowing again.

This time, she really fried chestnuts because of her gluttony...

Unable to restrain herself any longer, Jiang Yao rushed forward, recognized the good chestnuts with numb movements and picked them into the basket.

Seeing so many chestnuts on the ground, she couldn't help turning her head and sighing to Wei Chengye who helped her pick up chestnuts.

"I don't know what animal hit this tree recently and dropped so many chestnuts. Fortunately, we came in time and it was still fresh, otherwise it would be a waste!"

Hearing the little girl's exclamation, Wei Chengye suddenly felt vigilant, raised his head and looked sharply at the trunk of the chestnut tree, making sure that there were no traces of large animals, and then he was a little relieved.

"Maybe it was a monkey on the mountain, or some other animal knocked it down while playing around."

"Ok."

The two of them stopped until they couldn't fit in the basket, but there were still a lot left on the ground, which made Jiang Yao's heart ache.

"If I had known I could pick up so many chestnuts, I would have carried a bigger basket."

"Will this thing go bad overnight?" Wei Chengye also frowned.

He didn't know that it was better to eat it before, but now he knows that it is not only edible, but also delicious. He couldn't help but feel a pity to see so much falling on the ground.

"Look at the weather. If it rains suddenly tonight, it will rain tomorrow and it will be difficult to enter the mountain. If you don't pick it up, it will probably be soaked."

Hearing this, Wei Chengye raised his head to look at the sky, and then looked around, but there was no sign of heavy rain coming.

He comforted in a soft voice, "Don't worry, it shouldn't rain tonight, you can still come to the mountain to pick it up tomorrow."

"Really? That would be awesome!"

Seeing the joyful look of the little girl, Wei Chengye's lips raised slightly again uncontrollably.

Forgot when did he laugh so easily, especially in front of Jiang Yao.

Fortunately, Jiang Yao didn't pay attention to him all the time, otherwise he would definitely feel strange.

Realizing this, he was thankful again, and felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Jiang Yao doesn't pay attention to him, does it mean that she has no interest in him at all?

All of a sudden, the corners of his mouth that had just raised suddenly fell down, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and even the light in his eyes dimmed a lot.

Jiang Yao, immersed in the excitement of being able to continue picking chestnuts, did not notice any changes in the people around her.

Cover the chestnuts in the basket with leaves, and before she could move, Wei Chengye put the basket on his back first, and then she turned to look at Wei Chengye.

"Second brother Wei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable or in a bad mood? If you're not feeling well, let's go down the mountain."

Suddenly getting the little girl's concern, Wei Chengye's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a smile again.

"It's okay, I was thinking about other things just now. Let's go, we have to go inside again, the trap we set before should have prey."

"it is good."

After silently observing Wei Chengye for a while, Jiang Yao made sure that she didn't seem to be in trouble, so she obediently followed him to fetch the prey.

What she didn't expect was that Wei Chengye's hunting skills were simply amazing!

Almost every trap had a prey on it, and even one or two traps caught two at a time!

"Yo, Second Brother Wei has gained quite a lot this time! I've seen it all. Does Second Brother Wei have a share in seeing it?" Jiang Yao helped Wei Chengye pick up the prey with his hands, but couldn't help teasing Wei Chengye.

I don't know when she will be half as powerful as Wei Chengye.

"Whatever you fancy, just take it."

Jiang Yao did not expect that Wei Chengye was sincere not only in helping them with work, but also in giving prey.

Fortunately, she is not the kind of greedy person, she can joke about it, but it is too much to really take things.

She quickly turned her head to look at Wei Chengye with a smile, and repeatedly refused, "No, no, I was joking."

Knowing Jiang Yao's temperament, Wei Chengye didn't persuade him much, anyway, he had dinner with Jiang Yao's family, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to find out what Jiang Yao likes to eat.

Then it's time to leave Jiang Yao with the one he likes.

The two walked a few more places, and both returned with a full load, but it was a bit late, and the sound of insects was particularly prominent.

Just as he was on his way, a huge bug flew towards him, and Jiang Yao grabbed it right away.

"Good guy, this cicada monkey is so fat! It must be fried or roasted in a frying pan, it must be very good!"
