Chapter 54 - Is He Going Hunting (1/2)

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 pa.s.sionate about her all of a sudden since their affection had not reached that level.

After they collected enough Chinese mesona, Ye Xiaoxian then carried her bamboo bag which contained the herb on her back, but the bucket was coa.r.s.e, 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.
