The Only Pet Farmer’s Wife

Chapter 21: get along

    Shen Luman made such mental preparations, and in the next few days, she became a little closer to Jing Aoxue.

      There is no previous estrangement in my heart, and it becomes more natural to get along with each other.

    On this day, Shen Luman went out to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain after breakfast as usual, while Jing Aoxue stayed at home to take care of Liuer and the newly cultivated herb seedlings.

    Before setting off, Shen Luman glanced at Jing Aoxue and said, "I went up the mountain to hunt by the way today. I caught a few prey and came back to improve the food. Do you have any meat you like to eat?"

    The implication is that if you like something, I will bring you one back.

    Jing Aoxue's eyes lit up, she now appreciates Shen Luman's cooking skills more and more, and she is not polite to her when she hears this, she directly said: "Come back with a few pheasants, the pheasant smell is strong, It tastes great in soups and stews.”

    Since she returned to the village, she has seldom tasted meat. Although Shen Luman is good at cooking, she can't bear to be a vegetarian every day. She is not a nun and monk.

    Seeing her eyes glowing green, Shen Luman knew she was greedy, she smiled and nodded.

    Turn to ask Liu Er who was standing beside Jing Aoxue, Liu Er shook her head and said, "Mother, Guo Guo, delicious."

    Liuer doesn't seem to like eating meat very much, or is she reluctant to kill?

    Shen Luman lowered her eyes and touched her little head, looked at Jing Aoxue with a light smile, then turned and left.

    Jing Aoxue watched her retreating back, squatted down and hugged Liu Er, and said, "Let's go to the study to continue studying, we have already finished teaching the "Three Character Classic", today you have to recite Jiamo and write it again , and then I'll teach you numbers and calculations."

    Liu'er is well-behaved and does not reject learning, just like a sponge, she can quickly write down what Jing Aoxue taught her, and apply what she has learned.

    Knowledge is a huge change for people. After just a few days, through Jing Aoxue's education, Liu Er's stuttering has improved a lot, at least the speed of speech is not so slow.

    And her temperament is not as timid as before. Although she doesn't speak much when she sees strangers, she smiles and is polite and looks very cute.

    The morning was spent studying, and Shen Luman went home early at noon. She also carried two chicks, a hare, and a wild duck, not only that, There were also two cloth bags hanging between her arms.

    Seeing her coming back, Jing Aoxue greeted her with Liu Er who couldn't sit still.

    She saw a pile of things in the other's hand, so she walked over to help carry it.

    She looked at the two chickens, and she had already started to recall a hundred ways of chicken in her mind, and she was drooling.

    Shen Luman glanced at her helplessly, and put the soft white rabbit in Liu'er's arms.

    Liu Er opened her eyes wide in surprise, and her round apricot eyes were full of smiles. She hugged the little rabbit and couldn't put it down, and said busyly: "Thank you, mother, rabbit, cute, don't eat."

    Shen Luman touched her little head, this rabbit was not meant to be eaten, she had already figured it out, since Liuer is a soft-hearted, they are now living in the mortal world again , then there is no need to force the other party to be cruel.

    In this place, with her and Jing Aoxue protecting her, Liu Er will not be wronged.

    Liu Er blinked her star eyes, ran to Jing Aoxue, picked up the little rabbit in her arms, and said happily, "Mother, look, little rabbit."

    Jing Aoxue was also very childish, and handed over the chicken in his hand, saying: "Liu'er, look, chicken, eat meat for a while!"

    Liu'er looked at the chick, and saw Jing Aoxue licking her lips, she hugged the little rabbit and took a few steps back.

    Jing Aoxue looked at her speechlessly, made Liu Er's scalp numb, hugged the rabbit and ran to the study to hide.

    Jing Aoxue shook his head amusingly, and said to Shen Luman: "It's hard work, these things are not easy to catch."

    Shen Lvman said: "Fortunately, I set a small trap on the mountain yesterday, and I didn't expect much at first, but I didn't expect to see it this morning, and I found two chickens... Other prey are also easy to catch, no trouble."

    She washed her hands in the courtyard and went to the kitchen to cook.

    The whole job of killing chickens and ducks was handed over to Jing Aoxue. She was neat. When cleaning up after killing chickens and ducks, she also poured wood-type abilities into it, tempering the meat. Fan, there are many benefits to doing this, not only making the meat more delicious, but also removing impurities faster.

    After she cleaned it up, when she took it to the kitchen, Shen Luman was surprised. I didn't expect her to be so fast. Is the power of eating really great?

    Shen Luman muttered in her heart, seeing Jing Aoxue's eyes full of eyes on the meat, she thought with a funny thought: I'd better go hunting in the mountains in the future, there are many prey on the mountain, she can catch a game every day Jing Aoxue tasted it.

    Shen Luman put the chicken aside and planned to use one for soup and one for stir-frying.

    She processed the duck first, marinated it with salt and other condiments and put it in a bowl, and planned to come back in the evening to make a sauce-roasted duck.

    Then, I started to cut the chicken into pieces, ready to fry the meat for a while.

    Jing Aoxue's eyes sparkling from the side, scratching her heart and lungs with greed, didn't dare to look more, afraid that she was really drooling, so she planned to go out and wait.

    Seeing this, Shen Luman said, "There are two cloth bags next to me, you can open them and take a look."

    Jing Aoxue stepped out of the door, walked over to open the cloth bag, and found that one of them contained various eggs, which looked like duck eggs and bird eggs, she opened the other bag curiously , which contains fruit, but the fruit is green and unripe.

    When she saw these fruits, she felt pantothenic acid in her mouth. It was hard to imagine that Liu Er would like this kind of thing. Speaking of which, her taste should be too sour.

    Shen Luman said: "Take out the bird eggs, I will boil them and eat them later, put the eggs and duck eggs in a jar, and eat them every morning as egg custards."

    Jing Aoxue nodded and obeyed. She has never been picky about food. As long as the food tastes good, she will not refuse.

    After picking the eggs, they put them in the jar and put them away. She also relieved her hunger and asked, "Is there anything else I can help?"

    Shen Luman shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Speaking of which, I still have something to ask you, yesterday was the seventh day of my medicated bath. But, tonight..."

    Jing Aoxue pinched her chin, she had already considered this matter last night, just as Shen Luman asked, she replied: "Make a pill for Liu'er, she is young and doesn't need to be Boil it for seven days or three days, but the interval is one month, and after that, let her soak in the medicinal bath for three days every month. If you and I, it is a seven-day medicinal bath every three months, what do you think?"

    Shen Luman heard the words, responded, and said, "Alright, then we don't have to guard tonight, let's take turns to boil the water."

    Jing Aoxue also felt that she couldn't stand it, and it would be best if she could rest early. She had endured for seven days, and her eyes were all dark and blue, and it was because of the fact that when she woke up every day, she was always running the wood system. Yes, otherwise it would be too long.

    Thinking about this, she yawned.

    Shen Lvman was much better than her physique, so she advised her to go back to her room to lie down and rest for a while, anyway, it would take half an hour for today's food to be ready, and she would be woken up after she was done.

    Jing Aoxue heard the words and saw that she couldn't help much, so she turned around and went back to her room.

    It's weird to say, she doesn't seem to be born with culinary skills, but everything she makes doesn't taste much better, and she often makes all kinds of weird dark dishes .

    Even if a teacher like Shen Luman taught her by hand, the taste of what she made in the end was still very ordinary.

    Jing Aoxue gave up after trying it a few times. Anyway, with Shen Luman at home, she didn't have to worry about lack of food, but although her cooking skills were not good, she could be in Shen Luman. Hold hands when cooking, wash dishes, wash dishes, etc.

    I was too tired today, so I didn't want to hold on, I lay on the bed and smelled the faint aroma of the food, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

    When Shen Luman cooked dinner and woke her up, she didn't wake up for a while, until after washing her face with cool well water, she came over completely clear, and rushed to the table to wait Have dinner.

    Today's lunch is rich, in addition to fried chicken, there are also ordinary stir-fried vegetables, as well as chicken soup that has just come out of the pot. Half a bowl, let Jing Aoxue taste it.

    The three of them sat at the table, feasting and resting for a while, Shen Luman was going to go down the mountain.

    Jing Aoxue took the initiative to wash the dishes and watched her leave with Liu Er.

    Liu Er held the soft white little rabbit, looked up at her and said, "Mother, what are you doing this afternoon?"

    Usually they make random arrangements in the afternoon, which is why Liu Er asked this question.

    Jing Aoxue thought about it and said, "Go to the study and play, I'll see how the seedling is doing."

    Liu Er was used to her attention to the seedlings, so she nodded and said obediently: "Okay."

    Jing Aoxue turned around and went to an empty house in Xiangyang. There were many tables. On the tables were the seedlings she cultivated. It worked.

    The effect of the culture medium is also amazing. In one afternoon, the seeds germinate and grow seedlings.

    In the past few days, the seedlings have grown vigorously. She poured wood-type abilities into the cultivated seedlings to make their vitality more tenacious.

    Only half of the seeds I bought from Baicaotang can be used now. Fortunately, these seedlings have been baptized with wood-type abilities and are naturally better than the herbs they grow by themselves. , it is not difficult to imagine the situation in which it will be planted in the fields in the future.

    She got 20 acres of land from the Han family, but she couldn't grow that much by herself, so she rented out the 10 acres of land yesterday, leaving only the nearby 10 acres of land for herself planting.

    And the family she rented out happened to be the pair of Wu's father and son she met on the first day she came to another world.

     Coincidentally, there are several families near the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, and the Wu family is the closest to them.

    There are not many Wu family members, except for Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, who are about forty or fifty years old, they are two sons and their wives and children.

    Wu Zhian, who happened to meet her in the town that day on an ox cart, is Uncle Wu's youngest son. He also has a brother named Wu Zhiyong who has just returned to the village after serving in the army for a few years.

      The other party is Shen Luman.

    Shen Luman did not know that Wu Zhian once said that when Jing Aoxue passed away, he would come to propose marriage to his brother. work under them.

    When she came back to cook in the kitchen at night, she inadvertently mentioned this to Jing Aoxue, but Jing Aoxue remembered that when she had just crossed over, she heard the conversation of Wu's father and son on the road, and her face suddenly changed. Hei, told her to stay away from Wu Zhiyong in the future, that person who was a soldier was a rough man, and he had killed people and didn't look good.

    Shen Luman only thought it was ridiculous when she heard it at the time, they came from the world of immortals, killing people and stealing treasures is the norm, but Jing Aoxue was spoiled in the family since she was a child and learned a skill, but she never went out to experience Yes, so her hands are clean.

    Be yourself, I already killed a lot of people when I was a few years old...

     

    She nodded in response.

    Jing Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, why was she afraid of Wu Zhiyong, she used to kill zombies every day in the end of the world, and occasionally kill a few **** humans who don't have long eyes, killing people for her Just like eating and drinking water, it has become accustomed to it.

    The reason why I say this is just to make an excuse, don't let Shen Luman and Wu Zhiyong see each other.

    Although she knew very well that Shen Luman only followed her, but in this regard, she did not have much reason to speak of. Not willing to be touched by others, even if coveted.

    She is like a spoiled child who has to eat candy, no matter what, she must achieve her goal anyway.

    And Shen Luman is like the one who spoiled her, and she responds to her requests.

    Jing Aoxue was proud of her heart, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Luman, the other party did not understand why her mood suddenly became so good, but she was used to her moodiness after spending a few days together, so she didn't care much at all.

    Jing Aoxue thought of this at this time, and she was still very happy.

    The ten acres of land can be rented to the Wu family to get some silver and grain every year. Although the rent is not much, it is better than leaving it idle.

    As for the remaining ten acres of land, she has already mentioned it to Shen Luman. Those lands were abandoned in the hands of the Han family before. They hadn’t planted anything for many years, and I don’t know why they didn’t. Rent out, but that has nothing to do with them.

    If you want to grow herbs, you always have to clear the field, pull out the weeds on it, and then toss again and apply a little fertilizer, and then you can plant the herb seedlings.

    These things are a bit troublesome, but Shen Luman said that he can ask Wu Zhian to do it. He is a famous farmer in the village. Homes are more, better than others.

    There are only three people in their family and they still have things to do. .

    Jing Aoxue felt that it would save time and trouble, so she nodded and handed it over to Shen Luman.

    Speaking of which, when Shen Luman went down the mountain today, he should have mentioned this to Wu Zhi'an.

    I don't know if Wu Zhian agreed or not. Jing Aoxue was a little absent-minded. After taking care of the herb seedlings, she left the room and closed the door.

    She looked at the sky and saw that it was still early. Anyway, she had nothing to do, so why not go to Shen Luman.

    Just do what she thinks, Jing Aoxue went to the study with great interest, and told Liu Er about the matter, Liu Er hugged the rabbit, also full of surprise, but thinking of her mother's usual advice, she was uneasy He touched the soft white fur of the little rabbit and said, "Mother, say, it's dangerous on the mountain."

    Jing Aoxue said: "The mountain is indeed dangerous, but we are going down the mountain. Don't you want to go with your mother to see our future new home?"

    Of course Liu Er thought, she spends most of the time in the house, and naturally longs for the outside world. After hearing Jing Aoxue's temptation, she rubbed her toes and thought for a moment, then hesitantly agreed.

    Jing Aoxue cheered, picked her up, turned around and walked out.

      A child is completely effortless.

    She walks very fast, but she walks very steadily, Liu Er is still looking at the scenery by the roadside, the children in the village are running and jumping in the fields, the laughter of the children is far away can hear.

    This is a lively village scene, Liu Er watched without blinking, she seldom played with the children in the village, and remembered that she did not listen to her mother when she was young. After leaving, he went out secretly, met the children in the village, and was played by them.

    She was so timid that she was scared to cry, those children had gone crazy to play elsewhere, and left her on the side of the road, she was too young to remember the way home, just sat down Rubbing his eyes and crying by the side of the road.

    It wasn't until it was getting dark in the evening that my mother found her in a panic and hugged her tightly, looking very sad.

    Since then, Liu Er has learned to be good, she honestly listens to her mother's words, and does not play with the children in the village.

    She was always watching from a distance, half expectant and half scared.

    Jing Aoxue inadvertently noticed her gaze, seeing that she was always staring at the direction the children were playing, and she didn't know what happened in the past, so she suggested: "Liu'er, do you want to go and play with them? ?"

    Liu Er hurriedly shook her head and hugged the little rabbit in her arms, she had a mother and a little rabbit, she lowered her head and said softly: "No, let's go find it, Mother."

    Seeing her like this, Jing Aoxue couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She used to be an orphan, and the harm she caused unintentionally to children is the most clear.

     

    She doesn't care, it's better to live alone.

     But Liu Er is different, she is too obedient and kind, like a soft little snail, even if she is bullied, she will only hide in her shell and wait until it is safe. come out.

    Jing Aoxue didn't want her to be like this. When she grew up, she also knew the importance of friends. Liu Er needed a friend by her side, at least to accompany her and talk to her.

    Jing Aoxue thought so, then glanced into the distance and said, "Liu'er is good, I will let those children come to play with you in the future."

    Liu'er looked up at her with ignorance in her eyes, she didn't know what her mother's method was, she just shook her head subconsciously and said, "No, they can't get along, forget it."

    Jing Aoxue couldn't help kissing her little cheek and said, "Okay, listen to you."

    Actually, she didn't give up so easily, and she was still thinking about finding a playmate for Liu Er. This matter can't be forced, so to be leak-proof, she has to think of a way out .

    She thought a lot along the way. She remembered things when she was a child for a while, and then she thought about making pills for Liu Er to eat at night...

    When she got to the foot of the mountain, she was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect it to be so fast this time.

    The thatched cottage is in front of you, completely different from a few days ago. The walls of the yard are the first to be erected, and it looks brand new.

    At this time, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and through the gate, you could see the working scene in full swing, and many young people were building houses with sweat.

    The old dilapidated thatched hut is now built like a brick house. Several young people are working on the roof with ladders, and others also perform their own duties.

    She looked around in it, but she didn't see Shen Luman, so she grabbed the young man nearby and asked, "Where is Shen Luman?"

    The young man didn't know her, so she was sluggish for a moment, and when Jing Aoxue asked again impatiently, she pointed her finger in the direction of the ground and said, "She went to the field with Angkor and said It's about turning the ground over."

    Jing Ao Xueao let out a snort, and turned to the ground while holding Liu Er.

    The young man looked at her back and scratched his head, touched the arm of the person beside him, and asked, "Who is this person?"

    The young man beside him was tall and muscular. He was the strongest and fastest of all people. From a distance, he looked tall and sturdy like an iron tower. There is a suffocating aura lingering all over his body, which makes people dare not look down or approach.

    The young man didn't get an answer, so he turned around impatiently to look, and when he saw that it was him who asked before, he waved his hands in a panic and backed away: "So it's Angkor, The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, let's go, haha, let's go."

    The tall young man glanced at him lightly and said, "That is Jing Aoxue, Mrs. Shen's wife and husband."

    "Ah? She is Jing Aoxue!"

    The young man clicked his tongue twice, with a look of regret on his face, and turned to work.

    It was Angkor in his mouth, looking at Jing Aoxue's back, a thought flashed in his eyes.

    Jing Aoxue didn't know this, she hugged Liu Er and searched for Shen Luman along the way, but the area was too wide, and no one could be found for a while, and she was tired of walking, so she put Liu Er Put it down, the two walked to the river together, planning to rest for a while.

     

    The little rabbit was also placed on the ground by her, eating wild grass at will.

    It wanted to run away, but Jing Aoxue's wood-type power was threatening him. The creature instinctively told it to be obedient and not move, but it really didn't move, only wriggling its three lips, Chew on the tender green grass.

    Jing Aoxue was lying on the grass, the wind was light and the sky was light, the sun was not dazzling in the afternoon, the sound of running water and the sound of the grass and trees blowing.

    All of this was too peaceful and peaceful, so she took a deep breath, the rich wood elements poured into her body along with her breath, and she subconsciously mobilized wood powers to start practicing.

    It's just that there was a lesson from the last time, she didn't dare to do too much, for fear that she would experience severe pain all over her body again.

    She cultivated carefully, although the speed was much slower, but the result was very gratifying.

     

    The little rabbit has been eating grass, its mouth is wriggling cutely, Liu'er observed it for a while, picked the tender grass and stretched out her hand to the little rabbit's mouth, the little rabbit hesitated, then lowered his head Eat the tender grass in her palm.

     

    When Shen Luman came over, what she saw was Liu Er's watery eyes.

    At first she thought that Liu'er was being bullied, but after a closer look, there were no outsiders here, and she saw the little rabbit eating the tender grass in Liu'er's palm. Liu'er saw her, soft With a crying voice, he said, "Mother, itchy."

    Shen Lvman was speechless, walked over and hugged the little rabbit to let it eat by herself, she sat beside Jing Aoxue and Liuer, held Liuer's hand, looked at her drooling palm , said: "Don't feed it like that, let it eat by itself."

    Liu Er snorted obediently, looked up at her and said, "Mother, let's be quiet, mother, resting."

    Jing Aoxue smiled and opened her eyes, facing Liu Er's little finger and making a booing gesture, she said, "Who said I was resting, I was just closing my eyes and resting. That's it."

    She looked at Shen Luman and said, "I'm back, what does Wu Zhian say?"

    Shen Luman smiled and said: "He agreed, and he will help us repair the land after the house is repaired. Originally, he didn't want money, saying that everyone was neighbors, just a small favor and a small effort, but I couldn't let people work in vain, so I gave him five taels of silver."

     "By the way, I haven't planted land before, so I don't have any farming tools at home. I'll go to town tomorrow to buy some daily necessities."

    Jing Aoxue heard the words and immediately said: "Then I will go with you too."

    Shen Luman frowned, glanced at Liuer, and said, "If you and I both go to town, what will Liuer do?"

    Liu Er hurriedly blinked and watched, showing her sense of existence.

    Jing Aoxue glanced at her and said, "Of course, let her stay at home, don't forget, I'm going to give Liu'er a medicinal bath tonight, she can't sleep this night, Let her sleep at home tomorrow, and the two of us will just go."

    Liu Er heard the words, lowered her head in disappointment, Shen Luman touched her little head comfortingly, Liu Er accepted this matter, and still wondered in her mind, what is the medicinal bath? thing.

    Jing Aoxue remembered the long journey from the village to the town, she couldn't help shivering, and said, "Hey, let's rent an ox cart, you'll be exhausted walking."

    Shen Luman was speechless. She walked for several years without dying, but she knew that Jing Aoxue's physique was not as good as hers, so she thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then Wu Zhian, I'll talk to you later. He said it."

    "Okay, I'll listen to you," Jing Aoxue approached tentatively and said in a friendly tone with a smile on her face.

    Shen Luman did not avoid her. In the past few days, Jing Aoxue would approach her when she was free. After the initial discomfort, she also got used to the approach of the other party a little bit, but her face still seemed Feeling a little embarrassed, she turned her head to look at the flowing river, but her earlobes were dyed bright red.

    Seeing her like this, Jing Aoxue raised the corner of her mouth with a smug laugh, but she was not in a hurry, thinking: take it slow, wait until Shen Luman is used to her existence, and then continue to the next step , Emotional matters, it is the safest thing to do it naturally.
