Chapter 45: Going Hunting Again

In Chen Xiao Mi's house.

Chen Xiao Mi was wiping his bow and arrow in the yard when Lu Lin walked in from outside.

"Are you going to go hunting soon?"

Chen Xiao Mi nodded, "Yes, I need to get back to it before it gets rusty for me."

Chen Xiao Mi didn't count on hunting to make money, but he enjoyed honing his hunting skill, and he enjoyed being able to constantly bring food on the table.

Lu Lin had harvested the veggie patch in the yard days ago, they had been eating nothing but vegies for three days straight.

Chen Xiao Mi was never a picky eater, but Lu Lin used to cook them meat all the time, as a matter of fact, he didn't enjoy the veggie dishes as much as he used to. And Chen Xiao Mi began to understand why Lu Lin only liked lean meat instead of fat meat, because somehow he found himself was more and more like Lu Lin.

Chen Xiao Mi was so curious about Lu Lin's hometown, he had been asking so many questions about the modern society and Lu Lin's shop. Chen Xiao Mi was surprised that people living in modern society had such different lifestyles from them, he was fascinated by the modern society.

"Can I go with you?" Lu Lin asked.

Chen Xiao Mi thought for a while and nodded, "You need to watch out though, watch out for snakes, it's now spring."

Lu Lin smiled and said, "I will, thank you for the reminder."

'Mi has been a lot nicer to me recently, he used to be so cold whenever I say I want to go with him.'

The young couple went to the mountain together, and this matter was widely discussed by the villagers. They all thought the couple must have made a fortune through selling alcohol, so they were surprised seeing them going hunting again. Now they thought the couple hadn't make much money for they were still venturing their lives.

To return to the couple.

Chen Xiao Mi heard some rustle in the bush, he asked Lu Lin to keep quiet, he closed his eyes and listened attentively, and the next second he threw his dagger into the bush, it hit a bunny!

Lu Lin watched it with his mouth wide open, 'Look at wify go! He still got it after a long winter's rolling around on the kang!'

Chen Xiao Mi grabbed the bunny and flaunted it like a boy who just won a medal.

"I really like this dagger you gave me, thank you."

Lu Lin smiled, "I'm glad you like it."

Chen Xiao Mi lifted the bunny and said, "This is a chunky bunny, can I expect a stir-fry dish tonight?"

Lu Lin nodded, "Of course."

Lu Lin snickered as he recalled Chen Xiao Mi didn't care a thing about things like 'what's for dinner' when he first married into his family, but now Chen Xiao Mi always liked to discuss what they should have for dinner. And he was surprised to find Chen Xiao Mi loved spicy food.

Chen Xiao Mi was devastated when Lu Lin told him he had eaten up all the 'Latiao' in the shop, but luckily Lu Lin had some chilli powder in the shop.

Chen Xiao Mi was a great hunter, he could always come back home with something, bunny, bird, pheasant were the most common stuff he brought back home.

Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin got quite a few wild bunnies this time, they walked back home with such delight.

"Wow, Chen Xiao Mi, look at the bunnies! Good job!"

Some villagers greeted him, they were all very jealous.

Chen Xiao Mi wasn't good at talking to people, he just nodded and excused himself awkwardly.

"I wish I were a hunter, look at those bunnies."

"Yeah, it's been so lone since I had any meat."

"But why is he hunting again, didn't he just make a fortune?"

"Yeah, he must have been doing great, he has renovated his house and he has bought a mule carriage, but maybe not as good as we thought, he didn't buy any farmland yet."

Buying farmland was the ultimate symbol of getting rich.

"But the problem is no one is selling farmland."

"I agree, probably he can afford to buy it, but no one is selling."

Chen Xiao Mi was baffled that why the villagers started to talk to him.

Lu Lin laughed, "Isn't that a good thing?"

"But they are not scared by me anymore."

"You want to scare people away?"

Chen Xiao Mi blinked, "Not exactly, but I can always solve tricky problems easier if they are all scared by me."

"Scaring people away isn't the only solution to a lot of problems."

Chen Xiao Mi pouted, but deep down he knew what Lu Lin said was right.
