《Farmer's Pampered Wife: Farming Crops To Raise A Bun》Chapter 5: Killing Intent?
Advertisement
These were all ordinary herbs and were of no value. Her goal today was to find some valuable herbs, but it didn't matter if she couldn't find them. She just came to familiarize herself with the herbs on the mountain.
Towards these herbs, Lin Xiaoye was very excited and happy. This place was different from how it was in the modern world, they are all pure, natural and pollution-free herbs and their medicinal properties and effects were enough for her to ponder over for a while.
She decided to only take a few different kinds.
"La la la..."
Lin Xiaoye was so excited from picking herbs that she began to hum a tune as she picked. Not long later, her basket was filled to the brim with herbs.
She got up to look around. She didn't think too much and planned to go back. Suddenly, she found that the surroundings were all the same and there was no one around.
"Crap, did I get lost?"
She quickly walked forward, but she never would've thought that even after walking for so long, she really couldn't find the way back. At this moment, Lin Xiaoye was tired and hungry, so she started to worry.
She raised her hands and started shouting, "Huo Li! Where are you? Can you hear me? Huo Li…"
The moment she shouted, the surrounding birds flew in all directions and the surrounding was filled with the sounds of birds flying.
As the birds flew away, Lin Xiaoye started to panic even more.
"Really?" Could it be that she was going to end up getting lost? "Huo Li…"
Lin Xiaoye looked around anxiously and just when she thought that she was really going to be trapped here, a light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, causing her heart to stop beating immediately. She stood there in a daze, not daring to move, while her legs were constantly trembling.
Was that an arrow? Could it be the original owner's previous enemy? Did they all have the intention to kill her?
Thinking about that, Lin Xiaoye was startled. She widened her eyes and quickly looked around.

Eh? Huo Li?
Huo Li charged over in two or three steps and when he was right in front of her eyes, he rushed to her front with a strong gust of wind.
"Huo Li, you came?" Lin Xiaoye grabbed his arm and laughed.
Huo Li frowned and looked down at her hand.
Lin Xiaoye was stunned, then quickly let go.
"About that, I was too busy gathering herbs to remember the way back. Fortunately, you came over, but that arrow…"
At this point, Lin Xiaoye subconsciously looked over and was immediately shocked.
"Oh my God, what is this?"
She saw a black brown bug about the size of a palm firmly pierced by Huo Li's arrow in the tree. There were two pincers in front and its tail was quite long.
Lin Xiaoye was stunned.
Eh? Could this be…
"What are you doing?"
Just as Lin Xiaoye wanted to go up and take a closer look, she was pulled back by Huo Li.
"Huo Li, take a look. Is that a scorpion?"
Huo Li furrowed his brows as he stared at her. Then, he answered coldly, "En."
If it wasn't for the scorpion, he wouldn't have shot an arrow just now.
Hearing that, Lin Ye was immediately surprised.
"Scorpion, what a big scorpion! Quickly, use something to pack it up! We're going to be rich!"
With that, Lin Xiaoye quickly looked around for something to store the scorpion.
Huo Li was confused.
"These are poisonous insects. What kind of money do they worth?"
Lin Xiaoye smiled excitedly: "It's because it's poisonous that it's valuable. Believe me, hurry and wrap it up."
This was the largest scorpion she had ever seen. In the modern world, she wouldn't be able to find these wild scorpions even if she wanted to. The medicinal value of this thing is extremely high. If she were to sell it, she could fetch a few taels of silver, right?
Huo Li didn't know much about medicinal ingredients, but seeing how excited Lin Xiaoye was, he took off a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped up the scorpion, then handed it over to Lin Xiaoye.

Lin Xiaoye was stunned.
"Oh yeah, I'll make you a new set of clothes when I earn some money."
After that, she happily carried the scorpion down the mountain.
Huo Li looked at the current Lin Xiaoye and his eyes instantly narrowed.
Something was not right!
It just so happened that Huo Li was going to sell some game in the town, so Lin Xiaoye followed him.
Previously, Lin Xiaoye had thought that even if they walked into the town, it wouldn't take too long, right? She didn't expect that after spending so much time walking, she would almost break both her legs.
"No, no. Let me rest for a while, I really can't walk anymore."
When they arrived at the town, Lin Xiaoye quickly found a stool to sit on.
She had been walking and resting from time to time along the way and Huo Li was already used to it.
He hastily looked at the people who were rushing to the market.
"Do as you please. I'll go and sell these."
Lin Xiaoye waved her hand, indicating that she agreed.
In a flash, she had already looked around. This wasn't a path that an ordinary person could walk on. Wasn't it too far?
As she thought about it, she saw several ox-carts parked at the entrance of the town. Some people were even getting off the ox-carts.
Lin Xiaoye was momentarily stunned.
So there was a car!
She hurried forward and found the ox-cart.
"Great sir, how much does it cost to ride on your ox-cart all the way here?"
The person in front of her was a hunchbacked old man. He had his back to Lin Xiaoye and didn't say anything for a long time.
Could it be that this grandpa couldn't speak? Or had a bad temper?
Just as she was thinking, she saw the grandpa slowly turn around and smiled at her.
"Little girl, this old man's ox-cart is only worth a copper coin. Are you going back now?"
For some reason, when she saw this grandpa's smile, she suddenly felt her heart ache. In her mind, she thought of her kind grandpa from the modern world and she felt very close to him.
Lin Xiaoye smiled, "Grandpa, I understand. I'll go to the town first to buy some stuff, then I'll come back later to ride on your ox-cart."
"Alright!" The old man replied.
Lin Xiaoye turned around and headed back into the town.
The ox-cart was only a copper coin. By the time she sold the scorpion, wouldn't she still have two copper coins to ride on the ox-cart?
As she thought about it, Lin Xiaoye soon arrived at the place where she had rested. Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted into her nose.
It smells so good!
Lin Xiaoye's nose twitched as she looked toward the source of the smell.
Steamed Bun!
Only now did she realize that the place she was sitting on earlier was next to the bun shop.
"Hot steaming buns fresh from the oven. Do you want one?"
The little brother handed over a bun.
Lin Xiaoye swallowed her saliva.
"Little brother, how much are you selling these buns for?"
"Three coppers for two meat buns. The others are one copper."
"Alright, then give me two meat buns."
With that, Lin Xiaoye touched her body and froze.
Shit, she doesn't have money!
She quickly shouted, "Wait, I don't want it for now, but keep them for me. I'll come back later to buy them and you must keep them."
With that, Lin Xiaoye quickly turned and ran.
She really didn't know that steamed buns were actually so fragrant. She's not sure if it was the steamed buns from ancient times that were tasty, or if it was because she was too hungry. They were actually so fragrant.
Along the way, she thought about the smell of that steamed bun and began to salivate.
No, she has to hurry and earn some money.

Life in Zora's Domain
An AU about Mipha's and Link's life together post Calamity. I tried to have some fun with this story, taking it in different directions, developing Mipha's and Link's family, making up some adventures, and creating some connections to other Zelda stories. But the main theme is Mipha's and Link's love for each other and building a happy life together. I'm sure I don't always succeed, but I try to keep the story light hearted and generally opt for happy outcomes.The first 2 chapters now incorporate the prequel stories 'His Future is in the Past' and 'Beginning Life in Zora's Domain', so this AU is self-contained in one story. If you've already read the prequels just jump to Chapter 1 - Studying. Cover art where available is by Nurple(twitter dot com/nurpleynurple) and used by permission. Spoiler Warning: This story has spoilers! On the other hand, if you haven't played the game this story won't make sense. This writing is a work of fan fiction using characters and events from the world of The Legend of Zelda TM: Breath of the Wild, which is owned and copyrighted by Nintendo. I do not claim any ownership of the world or its characters. It is a work of my imagination and is for entertainment only. It is not part of the official Nintendo storyline.
