Perhaps it was the blessing of the heavens that the autumn hunt team met a wild boar on its way up the mountain. While the people were celebrating over the song, Chen said goodbye to his fellow men and prepared to go home. He did not deliberately hunt down his prey. Instead, he filled his basket with all kinds of herbs. The only living thing after a single trip was a grey rabbit in his embrace – there were still people who hated him for not giving them to them when he returned home.

Fearing that the rabbit was extremely hungry and nibbling on medicinal herbs, Chen Qiao Sheng carried the rabbit and walked back along the mountain path.

She had always liked this grayish little thing and it was worth it for her to return a thick smile to her face.

Someone at the entrance of the village laughed at him, ”You little rascal, isn't there a need to complain if you return with a rabbit after a trip up the mountain?”

Five years ago, when Chen came to the Autumn Hunt to subdue the black bear, he was still singing praises throughout the entire village. Now that he had married his wife, he was actually raising his family and carrying a basket full of rotten grass on his back.

Chen Qiao Sheng did not refute or argue. He had a good temper towards anyone. As time passed, people no longer bothered to mock him and just assumed that he had changed his personality when he got married.

He walked on for a bit and turned a corner. Suddenly, Chen heard his neighbor Sister-in-Law Ma's eerie tone.

”Oh, where's Dunning washing the clothes?”

Chen Qiao Sheng was exceptionally sensitive towards the three words' Ning '. He listened attentively while in a trance. When he looked over, his expression immediately changed. He threw down the basket and strode over with large strides.

At the foot of the mountain, in the river, there were village women carrying water and washing clothes all year round. At the foot of the mountain, in the river, there were village women carrying water and washing clothes all year round.

She was born cold, and the cold waters of the river in late autumn were freezing cold.

The bottom of the stream was full of pebbles, and the soles of his shoes could not stand under the wet moss. The water splashed onto his face, and Chen Qiao staggered and waded.

Why was she rushing down to such a cold water? Chen Qiao Sheng was angry to the point that his feet were in disarray and his face turned uglier and uglier.

The women were afraid that he would fall into the water unsteadily, so they wanted to support him but didn't dare to reach out for him. The atmosphere was tense and funny.

In the end, Ning Xuemo couldn't bear to see this. She stretched out her hand to stop him. ”Darling, why are you back so early?”

Chen Qiao Sheng's expression froze imperceptibly, but his face quickly regained its proper smile. He first snatched away the wooden bucket in her hand, then he intimately tapped her nose with his other hand, pretending to be angry.

”What did I say when I left? Didn't you agree to leave all this physical work to me? ”

”Darling, you've worked hard. I should understand more about it.” He hurried to help him out. After a while in the water, the man's lips turned blue from the cold.

Chen Qiao Sheng smiled wryly. ”I'm afraid I have disappointed Madam. My husband was unable to make it up the mountain, but now there's only this little fellow.”

He pointed at the grey rabbit, who was eating the grass quietly by the basket in the distance.

”Someone is carrying a wild boar ahead of us. It's good enough that the boar didn't injure my husband.” He didn't have much interest in rabbits. He took a quick glance and stopped looking at them. He lowered his head and focused on wringing the water out of his clothes.

In a corner that no one could see, Luo Lingwei pursed her lips. She had the nagging feeling that Ji Wu Ye had brought her in an instant, and changed from scheming and writing to farming in the countryside.

”You brought me here to see how Ning and her newlywed husband are in love?”

Luo Lingwei looked at him with an expression that said 'is there something wrong with you'. No one had thought of coming all the way here to eat dog food.

Ji Wu Ye gazed back at Luo Ling Wei with the same expression: ”Can I trouble you to open your eyes and take a look, this is the token I gave to Chen Qiao.”

Token? What token?

Luo Lingwei looked towards Ji Wuye's direction and saw a small jade pendant hanging around Chen Qiao's neck. The pendant was small and inconspicuous, but it was also exquisite. One could vaguely see a corner of the crane head that was very high.
