Chapter 8 Well, that's quite plump

n she wouldn't have wasted the whole afternoon saving him, would she...was injured because of this."Nevermind, you can just stay here for the night and go back to fetch the herbs tomorrow morning."Su...She looked at Zongyu, knowing that although Mu was the elder in this family, he was the one who made the decisions.

"I won't hold you back."

She said she wouldn't take advantage of others, and she always keeps her word.

Zongyu looked at her resolute eyes and, as if possessed, nodded.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

But you have to stay close to me, don't run off.

Fang Jinshi hurriedly nodded. Before leaving, she took a knapsack and a shovel; Zong Yu without a word took them and put the knapsack on his back.

The drought conditions in the mountains are a little better than at the foot of the mountain, with more vegetation and more moisture in the soil.

Along the way, she discovered a number of useful herbs. The Zong brothers had originally set out straight for the mountains to hunt as their main activity.

This way, she could only stay by Fang Jinshi's side, stopping every two steps to watch her digging with a small shovel.

Seeing edible wild vegetables around the medicinal herbs, I would also dig them up.

Zongyu was very patient and didn't urge her. When she stopped, he stopped too.

Fang Jinxiu dug it out and handed the basket to him. Although they had never met before, they worked together seamlessly.

The frame was gradually filling up.

Zong Bai looked at his elder brother, who was obediently staying by his sister-in-law's side, with an expression of disbelief.

Even the eldest brother, who was usually big and rough, could be so considerate.

But seeing the sun gradually setting in the west, he had to speak up and remind them.

"Big brother, it's getting late. How about we postpone digging up the medicinal herbs for another day"

It is not advisable to stay overnight in the mountains when it gets dark. Not only does the temperature drop sharply, but wild animals also come out to roam in the deep mountains.

By day they may hunt, but if by night they linger still, let the beasts hunt them.

When Fang Jinshu finished digging up the medicinal herb in her hand, she suddenly saw a rabbit hole as she looked up.

The entrance to the rabbit hole still had fresh droppings.

She hurriedly grabbed Zongyu's hand and excitedly said, "Your family, do you like to eat rabbit"

Then she pointed to the hole in front of her, “This is a rabbit hole.”

Upon hearing this, Zong Bai hurriedly ran over.

"Rabbit hole!"

"There could be a whole bunch of these things around here. I thought there weren't any animals near this area anymore."

At the foot of the mountain, people were so hungry they couldn't even afford a meal. It was estimated that the small game on this mountain had long been caught by people.

It was a pleasant surprise to come across a litter of rabbits when Fang Jinshu happened upon them.

"This thing has many holes, Zongbai, you find some dry grass and block up all the holes you can find around."

Fāng Jǐnxiù had seen how others caught rabbits before. She bypassed Zōngyù and directly commanded Zōngbǎi.

Zongyu raised an eyebrow, remaining silent, wanting to know just how many surprises she still held.

He just watched her and her brother rushing around plugging the holes, finally igniting the dry grass at the other openings, while she guarded the only one left unguarded.

The rabbits in the smoke-filled cave one by one jumped into Fang Jinshi's hands.

She excitedly emptied the box of vegetables and herbs, then lifted the first plump, gray rabbit and held it up before Zongyu.

"Look, Zongyu, I got it!"

"This rabbit is so fat, it must weigh at least five or six pounds!"

Zongyu looked at her face, which was as excited as a child's, and for the first time in a long while, a smile appeared on his face.

"Well, that's quite plump."

Zong Bai shouted from the other side, "Big brother, if we catch a lot of rabbits, can we roast one fresh tonight to eat"

"I don't want to eat jerky anymore."

The freshly roasted rabbit meat made Fang Jinshi swallow hard.

She also wants to eat.

Zhong Yu nodded. "Alright, today's caught rabbit meat will all be kept, not sold."sciousness was hazy and intermittent. He struggled to know that the waiter had called a doctor for him.This isn't the first time he's gotten sick, but this time it's particularly painful. The doctors...
