Chapter 186 - 186 Update

186 Update

The sunset behind the mountain in the late autumn was full of desolation.

Zhao Zhan first took Chengfeng to see the place where the big tiger was buried, and then called him to go deep into the mountains with him.

Zhao Zhan was familiar with many of the animal nests, but in the past, he had always been alone when he hunted. Unless he happened to encounter them, he would not risk his life to hunt those animals.

Zhao Zhan was prepared to hunt a plum deer this time.

The whole body of a plum deer was a treasure to behold. Whether it was the antler or the cuffs, they were all good medicinal materials. He remembered that some time ago, he had inadvertently heard Doctor Zhou mention that recently there was a medicine in urgent need of fresh antler as a drug primer.

Chengfeng sniffed around after entering the forest. By the time Zhao Zhan found the herd, if he had not pulled him in time, Chengfeng would have rushed out.

“Don’t mess around.”

Zhao Zhan didn’t want to provoke a herd of deer. He sneaked around the herd and saw a lone deer a little further away from the gang.

He raised the bow and arrow on his back, knocking the bow and shooting the arrows in one go.

The moment the arrow was shot out, Chengfeng also ran out on his four short legs.

The deer’s skull had been shot by an arrow, and before it could struggle, Chengfeng had already pounced on it and bit its windpipe. Zhao Zhan put down his bow and arrow and quickly ran over. By the time he reached it, the deer was already dead.

Chengfeng jumped around happily as if he was asking for credit, and Zhao Zhan reached out to rub his head.

It seemed that feeding the little fellow some half-cooked meat every day did not make its wild nature fade. If this continued, he was confident that when it grew bigger, he could let it move freely in the mountains. Of course, the premise was that he had to teach it not to hurt people first.

Zhao Zhan carried the whole deer on his shoulder, then went to the cave to get a bag and threw the deer in. He easily held the bag in one hand and held Chengfeng in the other.

Once the man and tiger reached home, Chengfeng ran straight for Yue Jiaojiao. Riding the wind, he rubbed his paws against each other and pounced into the room. Zhao Zhan looked at the blood on his hand and stood outside the door, saying, “Jiaojiao, I don’t know if Doctor Zhou wants fresh deer or processed deer. I’ll send this to the Hundred Herb Hall first for him to check.”

Yue Jiaojiao heard the noise and walked out. A strong fishy smell hit her in the face, but her expression did not change. She looked at Zhao Zhan and said gently, “Don’t be silly, don’t walk there. Go to Lizheng’s house and borrow an ox cart.”

Listening to her concern, the corners of Zhao Zhan’s mouth curled up uncontrollably. He nodded vigorously. “Alright, I’ll bring you some date-paste cakes when I come back.”

“I want the biscuits from East Street too.

“I’ll bring them all back for you.”

Seeing Zhao Zhan dawdling at the door, unwilling to leave, Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes broke into a smile as she walked over and pressed her lips against his. “Can you make it there yourself?”

Zhao Zhan regretted not washing his hands just now. Otherwise, he would have held his lover in his arms and asked for some strength.

He turned back three times with every step he took, and Yue Jiaojiao was standing by the door to ensure that he could see her if he turned his head.

When he finally reached the door, Zhao Zhan looked up and saw Li Miao standing there. “Oh? Are you here to look for Jiaojiao?”

“Yes, yes. Your courtyard is too big. You didn’t even hear me when I shouted at the door.”

Zhao Zhan thought about it and agreed. He planned to go to the blacksmith’s shop to see if there was a bell he could make to indicate that guests were over. Then, he would hang it under the porch in the backyard.

“Please, come in. I’m going out in a bit.”

Li Miao nodded and rushed to the backyard. He stood under the pavilion in the backyard and shouted, “Jiaojiao?”

“Why didn’t you ask her to come in?”

Yue Jiaojiao carried Chengfeng to the door and saw Li Miao, whose hair had been blown messily by the wind. She walked over and invited her in.

“Your house is so clean that I feel like I’ll dirty it if I step inside.”

The first time Li Miao entered their room, she noticed a lot of things. “Wood is so expensive, but your room is fully paved and clean. There’s not a single speck of dust at all.”

“What do you mean?” Yue Jiaojiao held her hand and said, “Houses are built for people to live in. The wind is very strong outside. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Seeing that she didn’t mind, Li Miao happily followed Yue Jiaojiao into the room. As soon as she sat down, she couldn’t help but say, “It’s time to harvest the beans and chili in the field in a few days.”
