The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 94 - 92: Captain: Bah! Xiao Lao 5 Is Worthless

Chapter 94: Chapter 92: Captain: Bah! Xiao Lao 5 Is Worthless

Before departing, the team leader asked again, "Oh, Little Wen, do you still want to take your family leave?"

If she really spends the New Year with the Silly Deer Team, then this family leave shouldn’t be wasted.

It should be given to someone else.

Mrs. Xiao suddenly perked up, "Little Wen can get family leave?"

What?!

The moment this was said, the educated youths were even more excited, "Why? How many family leave slots are there anyway?

We’ve been waiting for so long, and haven’t gotten one. Why does she get one right after coming here? It’s not fair!"

"Exactly! Did you accept gifts privately? I will go to the commune and report you."

The team leader’s expression didn’t change, he glanced at the educated youths, remaining unruffled and said, "Go, if you don’t go, I won’t respect you!"

Seeing the team leader so calm, the educated youths looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The team leader snorted coldly, "Whether you have something or not, stop scrutinizing others, just mind your business!"

Turning his head, the team leader smiled at Mrs. Xiao, "Yes, she contributed to the team, during the rushed harvest, she was the first to charge forward, this is her reward."

"We want it, we definitely want it," Mrs. Xiao said gleefully, "This year our family also has to take leave, to see my daughter in the Northwest.

At that time, Little Wen can go with us."

The team leader nodded, "Okay, got it."

The Xiao Family settled Wen Ran’s grain, and conveniently sat down at Wen Ran’s house. Mr. Xiao and Xiao Chenye, having nothing to do, wandered around and suddenly said, "By the way, does your family have a cellar dug?"

Wen Ran was startled, "No."

"Should we make one for you? Usually store some vegetables or something, they spoil slower. If it’s dug deep enough, you can even store ice in it.

When the time comes, you can take out some ice in the summer to cool off."

"Sure!" Wen Ran’s eyes lit up, after all, she had nothing else to do, while Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Chenxing were busy in the kitchen, Wen Ran joined the two to get started.

It’s truly not just talk that there is strength in numbers, the three of them worked together and proceeded very quickly.

By the time the meal was almost ready, the moon was climbing up the treetops.

Mr. Xiao stretched his back, "Oh my! I can’t, need a break, I’m worn out."

Wen Ran chuckled, "We dug pretty deep, let’s leave it at that, take a shower and wait for dinner."

"Okay."

The Xiao father and son went home to shower, Wen Ran also ladled some hot water to wash up.

The father and son were quick, by the time they returned, the meal was already set, Wen Ran came out drying her hair, "Wow, it’s all ready?"

"Yep, let’s eat!"

"Yay!"

...

It took a total of two days from digging the cellar to securing it, that night they rested and the next day, three teams were all geared up to head into the mountains to hunt.

Before leaving, the team leader was still advising, "Be careful with everything, got it?"

"Mmm!"

Wen Ran was full of energy, the team leader hesitated before saying, "Don’t be too reckless, you understand me, right?"

Wen Ran: "..."

Her face darkened, "Got it, uncle."

"Alright," said a tall man standing next to them, about 1.9 meters tall and robust, "I’m here, don’t worry."

A new face, Wen Ran hadn’t seen him before.

She couldn’t help but be curious, glanced at him.

"This is Little Wen, right."

"Hello."

"I’m Zhao Tiezhu, this time the Silly Deer Team is under my lead, if you need anything, just let me know."

"Hello, I’m Wen Ran."

Before the two could say more, Xiao Chenye smoothly slipped between the two, grabbed Zhao Tiezhu’s hand with a smile, "Brother Zhuzi, long time no see."

Team leader: "..."

Honestly, he doesn’t fancy Xiao the Fifth’s casual demeanor right now.

As everyone watched, the group marched into the mountains with various weapons, fully equipped for a hunting trip.

This time, they’re heading to deep mountains, so vigilance is needed, Xiao Chenye practically stayed by Wen Ran’s side the whole time.

Zhao Tiezhu quipped, "I didn’t expect you to be so attentive this time, huh?"

Xiao Chenye’s face turned a bit red, he neither admitted nor denied, only glanced at Zhao Tiezhu, "What’s up with you? Got nothing better to do than watching me?"

Wen Ran overheard, but was very good at playing dumb, pretending not to understand anything, just cautiously observing the forest.

This place is a depth she hasn’t ventured before.

Even the roads needed to be paved as they went, the folks leading the way swung the sickles almost to the point of creating afterimages.

The air was filled with the sounds of insects chirping, birds calling, and the rustling of the wind through leaves.

"Hey," Xiao Fang, carrying a medicine box, cheerfully came over, "You’re really good-looking, and your skin is great too, what do you use? Snow Cream? I see those educated youths really like using it.

But their skin isn’t as good as yours."

Oh~

This girl’s words are sweet.

Wen Ran admitted, she felt delighted being complimented.

"I use Pechoin and Snow Cream."

"Wow!" Xiao Fang’s eyes lit up, "We can’t buy Pechoin around here."

Xiao Chenye’s face turned even redder, Wen Ran also smiled without a word, suddenly there was a commotion up ahead, "Ah!"

Zhao Tiezhu frowned, "I’ll go see what’s going on."

"Little Fang! Quick, come over, Shuanz was bitten by a snake."

"What?"

Xiao Fang was dumbfounded, quickly rushed forward with the medicine box, "Make way, let me take a look."

Bad news, Shuanz was bitten by a venomous snake.

Good news, the venom won’t kill him.

Xiao Fang took a deep breath, directly tied a cloth strip on Shuanz’s leg, took out a dagger, and said in a low voice, "Hold on tight."

Though she was young, she acted fast, precise, and ruthless, opened a cross-shaped wound and squeezed out the poisoned blood. After the darkened blood returned to red, Xiao Fang finally exhaled with relief.

"It’s fine now."

She opened the medicine box and took out two Antidote Pills, "Take these to help mitigate it."

Shuanz took the pills and felt relieved, he was on the verge of tears, "Fang, usually I’m nice to you, don’t be so rough next time, alright?"

He wiped his face with his sleeve, "A strong man like me almost got driven to tears by you."

"Enough," Xiao Fang shot a glare at Shuanz, "You’re still talking about next time, isn’t this scary enough?"

The back-and-forth between them eased the tense atmosphere, finally putting everyone at ease again.

As they continued, munching on dry food for lunch, by late afternoon, about sixty people found a good spot and began setting up camp.

Wen Ran couldn’t sit still, "You all work here, I’ll go to the creek to see if I can catch some fish to make soup."

"I’ll go with you."

After notifying Zhao Tiezhu, the two left the camp and ran towards the creek, "Only fishing?"

Xiao Chenye cautiously examined the surroundings, "Not catching rabbits or wild chickens?"

"Are you reckless?" Wen Ran said helplessly, "With so many of us here, even if there were wild chickens or rabbits, they’d be scared off, where could you catch them?"

Xiao Chenye: "..."

Alright, he hadn’t thought of that.

"Ahhhhhhh~ Help!"
