Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

It was obvious that the mother-in-law had no habit of making breakfast. Chen Xu sat in the main room and started to eat a steamed bun. Compared with most rural families who eat two meals a day nowadays, he, who was used to three meals a day, could not do that at all. He would feel hungry if he skipped a meal.

This is also related to the fact that he is recovering his body now. How can he recover quickly if he doesn't eat more? Even if the space has some strange abilities, it is not so abnormal that he can reach the sky overnight.

At least he still needs to prepare the most basic things himself.

I went out for a walk around the village and successfully harvested a rabbit and a dozen pheasant eggs, and then that was it.

There was no need to count on Lin Chan either. Everything at home was clear. It was obvious that she had gained little during this period of time. In the end, she could only wait for Lin Chan to get up and then go to Lin Qing's place.

Chen Xu began to think about whether he should visit some of the surrounding villages, perhaps he could gain something there.

However, their place is very remote. To find other villages, you need to go to the left after passing the commune, where the villages are more concentrated.

It was already noon when Lin Chan came out yawning. After the three of them had lunch, Lin Chan took Chen Xu into the mountains.

Compared to the previous one in front and one behind, Chen Xu felt very good to be able to hold the girl's hand openly now. The only drawback was probably that Lin Chan was not used to it and always wanted to kick him a few times.

Lin Chan's face flushed a little. Chen Xu was close to her so much that she didn't feel disgusted, but he was a little too much. He hugged her when she slept and held her hand when he went out, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Lin Chan naturally wouldn't be really angry because her man cherished her. Of course, it would be better if she could pay more attention to the impact. Although they were now traveling in the jungle, there was no need to find such an excuse of fear to stick to him.

Is it that urgent? Once we get back to Chenjia Village, you can do whatever you want.

Lin Chan didn't understand the man's train of thought, but she didn't say anything. She was even slightly excited in her heart.

The woman doesn't like that she has a higher position in the man's heart.

Chen Xu's behavior is very consistent with the excited state of a guy who just got a girlfriend.

Lin Qing made Chen Xu very satisfied.

Looking at the deer tied with a rope and still calling out, Chen Xu felt a little curious.

Although he knew the saying "The deer calls, and eats wild apples", this was the first time he saw a live deer. He didn't expect that deer really make the call.

"Brother-in-law, not bad, right?"

Lin Qing patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"It's really good. It's the first time I've seen a live deer."

He reached out and touched the deer's head. Lin Qing didn't need to introduce this kind of deer.

Who doesn't know the sika deer?

"I remember that sika deer always travel in groups. Have you spotted any of them?"

"No, this deer was unlucky and fell into the trap I set. I went there just in time. If I had been a day or two later, it probably wouldn't have survived. I didn't know if you needed the deer alive, so I just kept it."

Looking at the sika deer that was dodging his big hand with a look of fear on its face, Chen Xu sighed. In fact, he liked sika deer very much. If it were in his previous life, he might have fed it as a pet by now. But it was useless just for its good looks now, because its meat was real.

The deer was not too big. Although an adult sika deer could grow to 70 to 100 kilograms, the female deer in front of him weighed only about 60 kilograms.

"By the way, one of the legs belongs to Lin Chan. Do you want me to help remove it now?"

Chen Xu: ...

Obviously, for the hunter Lin Qing, killing a deer was no burden at all.

Chen Xu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. After all, it would be inconvenient for him to bring a live deer back with him. The main reason was that he couldn't leave the deer anywhere. After all, he would have to stay in the countryside for a few days. If a living creature suddenly disappeared, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

If conditions were good now, he wouldn't mind raising a few deer for fun, but now is the time and he can't afford it.

Besides, a deer is not cheap, and he doesn't have the money to pay for it himself.

Chen Xu didn't forget that he was still in negative assets. What's the use of being cute? That's something he would only consider after having a full meal.

Lin Qing went to slaughter the deer. Chen Xu did not follow him, but asked Lin Chan next to him why she had a share of the deer.

Lin Chan told Chen Xu about her work as a porter, and he nodded. Only a girl like Lin Chan had the ability to carry a living creature weighing more than 100 kilograms back from the mountains so easily.

After all, traveling through the mountains and forests is not like walking normally. Even if Lin Qing wanted to do this, he would be exhausted.

The deer that was alive and kicking just now turned into pieces of venison in the blink of an eye. Chen Xu sighed in his heart and thought it was a sin and didn't think about it anymore.

Animals are always animals, and are nothing compared to humans.

If animals want to live well, they must first see how well humans live. In the 21st century, humans have enough food to eat, so they naturally have the leisure to protect animals. When Chen Xu traveled through time, basically all wild animals had signs of being in prison.

But that is all due to the changes of the times. If you are hungry, no one will protect animals. It would be good enough if your eyes don’t light up when you see one.

After paying the money and notes, Chen Xu decided to keep some of the venison for himself. Although the money and notes were important, he was currently lacking in nutrition. He knew that venison was a tonic and was much more nutritious than pheasant and rabbit.

As for other pheasants and the like, I would just sell them to the factory along with the remaining venison, which would just be enough to supplement my increasingly empty pockets.

On the way back, Lin Chan was a little conflicted.

Chen Xu looked at the beauty next to him and said with a smile.

"What's wrong? It's not like you to hesitate."

"I... Actually, I also caught some prey, but I need meat to maintain my current condition..."

Chen Xu smiled. This little girl probably thought that he would have an opinion if she ate the game.

He reached out and touched Lin Chan's hair.

"It's okay. Eat as much as you can. You definitely need meat to supplement your martial arts training. I plan to leave some meat for you. Don't let my two little cuties get hungry and thin."

Chen Xu's eyes swept across Lin Chan's chest, causing the girl to bite her lip and turn her head away, pretending she didn't hear the man's teasing.

But she was still happy that her man understood her difficulties. In fact, her life was not that good. Although she could have an extra meal from time to time compared to others, her consumption was also high.

The conditions in the mountains are no longer the same as before. It is not easy for forest cicadas to maintain their condition, and naturally there is no game left.

As for Chen Xu's suggestion to leave some meat for her, Lin Chan was against it.

"No need for that. You are buying for the factory. If you give it to me, you will have to pay for it yourself."

Lin Chan felt that Chen Xu had given her enough, and there was no need to prepare meat specifically for her. After all, she could still barely sustain herself.

Chen Xu smiled and didn't explain. He planned to keep a part for himself, so even if he helped Lin Chan keep some, he wouldn't lose money. The worst that could happen was that he would earn less.

Money is meant to be spent, especially to support a family. If you lose it, you can just earn more.

After all, the body is the capital of revolution. Once the body is in good health, everything else will be easy.

Chen Xu, who died on a hospital bed in his previous life, knew very well the importance of a good body. What was the use of having a lot of money? A serious illness would not only take you back to the time before liberation, but you might not even be able to survive. The end result would be that you would lose both your life and your money.
