Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

When his mother-in-law came back, Chen Xu acted as if nothing had happened, but the remaining blush on Lin Chan's little face still made his mother-in-law notice something.

She was very satisfied that her son-in-law liked her daughter, and it was understandable that the young man couldn't help himself about that matter. She was just a little worried about her son-in-law's health, but now Chen Xu didn't look like a short-lived person, which made her feel a lot more relieved.

He thought his son-in-law had become much more powerful after learning the family skills.

Mother Lin had no idea that if Chen Xu hadn't had the cheat, she would have ended up like Sha Zhu. After all, it is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beautiful woman, let alone someone as stunning as Lin Chan. Ordinary men really can't resist it.

Chen Xu planned to stay in the village for a while longer, after all, this was a vacation granted by imperial decree.

However, although it was a vacation, purchases still had to be made. Chen Xu followed Lin Chan up the mountain with great interest and stayed there for several days.

The deep mountains are indeed very dangerous. This was Chen Xu’s first time in the mountains, and he almost met his ancestor in person.

The moment the poisonous snake approached him, Lin Chan grabbed its vital points.

Lin Chan was a little worried, she was afraid that something might happen to Chen Xu, but Chen Xu said that these were child's play. Even if he was bitten by a poisonous snake, it would be impossible to kill him unless he died suddenly. This was also the biggest reason why he dared to come to the mountains.

He looked at the poisonous snake whose vital points were pinched in Lin Chan's hand and whose body was wrapped around Lin Chan's arm.

The eyebrow pattern is dark brown with white edges on the upper and lower edges.

The back of the body is yellowish brown, with a row of large round spots on each side of the body, which are staggered on the spine.

"A pit viper?"

Lin Yuan recognized this famous poisonous snake at a glance.

"We usually call it grass-flying snake or earth ball. This snake is the most poisonous snake in the area. It will be very troublesome if it is bitten."

Chen Xu was even interested in touching the snake's body. It felt very smooth and cool, and felt good.

"We'd better go back."

Lin Chan was completely worried about Chen Xu staying in the mountains. She didn't know Chen Xu's confidence and was afraid that she would become a widow before getting married.

"Row."

Chen Xu had no intention of staying in the mountains for long, so he just came here for a walk. Although there were some daily necessities left by old hunters, which would be enough for survival in a short period of time, they would not be enough for a long time. Besides, he didn't want to expose his space.

"It's getting late. Go back early tomorrow."

The midday sun silently emitted terrifying heat, protesting against Chen Xu's nonsense.

Lin Chan held her forehead with one hand. She felt that her man was definitely not here to hunt with her in the mountains. Moreover, after the unspeakable incident that happened by the river last night, he had awakened some strange attributes.

"What to do with this snake? Stew it?"

Lin Chan asked as he looked at the snake that was getting tighter and tighter in his hand.

"Is it tasty?"

Chen Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with eating snakes. His only worry was that it might not taste good, especially without complete cooking utensils and seasonings.

"It's not very tasty. The snake meat is hard and, since it can't be cooked for a long time, it's like cowhide."

"give it to me."

Chen Xu stretched out his hand to take the snake from Lin Chan. Lin Chan retracted his hand, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"I'll teach you how to catch snakes. These are the basic techniques you need to survive in the mountains."

"it is good."

Chen Xu pinched the snake's vital points according to Lin Chan's method, but he didn't feel scared. People are afraid of the unknown because they lack a sense of security, but Chen Xu didn't have this concern.

"Since it doesn't taste good, I'll just let it go later."

"Oh..."

Lin Chan stared at Chen Xu's hand that was holding the snake. She didn't care about releasing it. The snake didn't have much meat on it, and it had a lot of parasites on it. She was just afraid that Chen Xu would not hold it firmly and get bitten by the snake.

On the way back to the temporary residence, Chen Xu found an opportunity to collect the poisonous snake into the space, and specially found a place to keep it in captivity. Although he didn't know what the use of keeping this thing was, he felt that it was a poisonous creature after all, so he might as well keep it for now, and at worst use it as a reserve food.

Anyway, once he enters the space, he can do whatever he wants.

The two's temporary accommodation was a cave, equipped with an earthen stove and a water tank. According to Lin Chan, this was the temporary accommodation used by some old hunters in the past, so they could stay there in case they couldn't get back in time because it got dark.

After all, not everyone is like Lin Chan, the mountain elf who dares to run around in the middle of the night.

They have stayed here for three days and have gained something, but not much. The two have not encountered any large beasts. The only large beast is now turning over its belly and asking Chen Xu to scratch it.

"Will this silly cat get used to living here? What if other people come here in the future?"

Chen Xu asked as he looked at Lin Chan who was cooking, but he didn't stop petting the cat.

"It's okay. The old hunters in the village are old. Now, except for me and Lin Qing, no one comes here anymore."

Chen Xu silently lit a candle for Lin Qing in his heart. He wondered what this guy's expression would be when he found a tiger lying in his accommodation when he planned to stay in the mountains for a night.

Xiao Hei is very well behaved with Lin Chan and Chen Xu, but this may not be the case with others.

"Can Lin Qing beat Xiao Hei?"

"It's okay. Lin Qing and Xiao Hei are pretty familiar with each other, so they won't fight."

Lin Chan said indifferently.

Chen Xu didn't take it seriously. Never mind. Let him live here if he wants. It would be good for Xiao Hei to take care of this temporary residence.

At night, Xiao Hei was thrown out of the cave by Chen Xu, who said that after tonight he could live however he wanted and now he could go back to his own cat bed.

"Ow!"

Xiao Hei howled twice in dissatisfaction and retreated under Lin Chan's sharp gaze.

What a joke! Lin Chan knew very well what would happen at night. There couldn’t be any outsiders around, not even a tiger.

No sleep for one night.

In the morning, both of them did some morning exercise and felt a little tired, but they were different from ordinary people and recovered after a full meal.

The only harvest was three fawns and a doe. The little guys were very cute and not afraid of people. Chen Xu had no intention of hunting the mother and children at the beginning. After all, it is a basic quality of a hunter not to fight with children.

Although Chen Xu is not a hunter, he still doesn't want to attack these little guys. They are so small and don't have much meat. He will wait until they grow up.

Lin Chan went to look for firewood, and Chen Xu was soaking his feet in the stream next to the cave alone. As a result, a few little guys appeared next to him.

Unfortunately, the mother deer was so heartbroken that the little deer still came up to Chen Xu with a silly and cute look on its face, sniffing the scent of this strange two-legged beast with its wet little nose, and its cute big eyes were full of curiosity.

I grabbed a few handfuls of beans and fed the little deer. The little guy ate happily. The mother deer hesitated for a long time but finally came over.

Then there is no more.

The mother and her children were now all confused in the space. They had no idea where the forest they were familiar with had gone and where they were now. The nervous adult and three children huddled in a corner, watching the chicks that surrounded them with curiosity.

The short-tailed pit viper was equally confused. It was trying to find a way out in a circle. Chen Xu kept it in a separate pen. After all, it was not a big problem to keep deer and chickens together, but it would be a bit troublesome to throw a snake in there.

Apart from these there was not much else to be gained, except a few rabbits and pheasants.

Chen Xu also witnessed Lin Chan's hunting method, which was to throw stones directly. No matter how fast the pheasant flew, the stone would always hit the target. Even Chen Xu himself could not be so accurate with a gun.

These pheasants and rabbits died as soon as they poked their heads out, all of them hit on the head by flying rocks.

Chen Xu was a little jealous, but he had no intention of learning this skill. After all, he believed more in firearms. Not only was the flying stone technique difficult to practice, but the upper limit of the skill was not as high as that of guns.
