My Fantastic Chef Wife

Chapter 54: Is He Going Hunting

Translator: Fan Translation Studio

Ye Xiaoxian soon found a place where she could pick Chinese mesona. These kind of climbers can be tied together and put into the basket after picking.

Xiao Baoshan was coming to give her a hand. After he had learned which were Chinese mesona, he started helping Ye Xiaoxian to pick them up and had collected more of them than Ye Xiaoxian did.

Seeing that he had tried his best to help her and accompanied her carefully all the way, Ye Xiaoxian’s fury had more or less cooled down.

She thought that although they were known as husband and wife, they actually had not known each other for long, so it was not realistic for him to be passionate about her all of a sudden since their affection had not reached that level.

Never mind. Just let it be.

After they collected enough Chinese mesona, Ye Xiaoxian then carried her bamboo bag which contained the herb on her back, but the bucket was coarse, so when she put the bag over her shoulder it scratched her hair and her hair tie fell off which made her hair fall.

“Uh, it’s broken!” Ye Xiaoxian touched her long hair, trying to tie it back again, but the tie broke once she pulled it.

The hair tie belonged to the original owner of her body and who knew for how many years it had been used as it could not withstand a single pull.

She then sighed. “What a pity. I don’t have a hair tie to use tomorrow.”

It was not a trend for girls to wear their hair down in this era so Ye Xiaoxian had no option. Putting her bucket down she plucked some weeds and then wrung them together making a string to tie her hair back.

Xiao Baoshan watched Ye Xiaoxian’s behavior quietly without saying anything.

When Ye Xiaoxian carried her bucket once more on her back, Xiao Baoshan then said to her, “Little Ye, how about you go down the mountain first. I will carry your bucket back for you later.”

“You’re not leaving?” asked Ye Xiaoxian, puzzled.

“I want to...hunt for something!” said Xiao Baoshan.

“Hunting?” Ye Xiaoxian knew that there must be some prey in this remote mountain but once she thought about those wild animals she could not help shuddering.

“You only carried one knife with you so how could you hunt for prey? Don’t you need a bow and arrows to go hunting?” Ye Xiaoxian recalled those period dramas she watched in the past.

Xiao Baoshan just smiled. “I have my own way.”

“What way is that?” Ye Xiaoxian asked. “Like Wu Song? Fighting a tiger with bare hands? Forget it. I don’t want to be a widow again.”

Seeing that Ye Xiaoxian was worried, in order to resolve her worries, Xiao Baoshan then chopped a bamboo cane nearby with a billhook which he carried with him.

His chopping skill was excellent and he was also very strong, so not before long he had trimmed the bamboo into a spear shape and had done five of them in total.

He then took one of them towards a pine tree not far away and said to Ye Xiaoxian, “Look carefully!”

Ye Xiaoxian just laid her eyes on the pine tree as the spear had already been cast away by Xiao Baoshan.

The spear flew into the pine tree like an arrow and stabbed into its trunk with a “swoosh” sound. The tip of the spear had penetrated at least three centimeters into the trunk.

Ye Xiaoxian was dumbfounded.

Is it the legendary internal martial art?

Xiao Baoshan is a kung fu master?

Xiao Baoshan turned around and looked at Ye Xiaoxian, saying, “Little Ye, now you can rest assured. I won’t come across any danger in the mountain.”

Meanwhile, he gave another spear to Ye Xiaoxian. “Take this with you and you can use it as a walking stick.”

Ye Xiaoxian took it from him and she was not only reassured but admired Xiao Baoshan very much. Her affection towards him had multiplied.

“Well... well then, I am going down the mountain. Be careful while you’re here.”

Xiao Baoshan nodded and then asked, “What kind of game meat you are good at cooking? Chicken, hare or boar?”

Ye Xiaoxian turned around and smiled to him frankly. “Hare!”
