Chapter 143

143 Good Luck on the Mountain (1)

To be honest, the Host often went up the mountain, but Li Xiaoran hadn’t been there much after transmigrating.

After careful calculation, they had only gone up the mountain twice.

The first time was when she went to see Luo Cheng. At that time, her head was still injured.

The second time was when she followed Luo Cheng and her father around the mountain and found reishi mushrooms.

If she followed Luo Cheng up the mountain tomorrow, it would be the third time.

Unlike the previous two times, she was going to hunt and pick herbs this time. She could also see her husband’s wine cellar.

Li Xiaoran was very interested in these things and naturally agreed happily.

The next morning, when Zhao Xiu heard that her daughter and son-in-law were going to the mountain to hunt, she baked some more meatloaf and planned to bring it for them to eat.

Li Xiaoran naturally appreciated her mother’s kindness.

After breakfast in the morning, they took their water bags and meat loaf and went up the mountain together.

It had to be said that the forest was entirely yellow at this moment. Only evergreen trees could be seen.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng walked calmly, as if they were out for a vacation.

“Husband, is your wine cellar hidden deep in the mountains? How do you transport the wine in and out of the mountains?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously on the way.

“Let me keep you in suspense first. When the time comes, you’ll understand!” Luo Cheng said as he looked at Li Xiaoran’s curious expression.

When Li Xiaoran heard this answer, she was immediately disappointed.

“Let’s hunt then. What are we hunting in the mountains today?” On second thought, Li Xiaoran thought of something else. “I haven’t hunted before!”

“Let’s go to the trap I set up previously!” Luo Cheng said and reached out to pull Li Xiaoran.

“You have to speed up. Otherwise, we’ll have to spend the night in the mountains!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she stopped asking questions and quickly walked towards the deep mountains under Luo Cheng’s lead.

Unlike before, when they went up the mountain to look for reishi mushrooms, the two of them came out with a purpose, so they didn’t wander around.

After about an hour, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng arrived at the first trap.

At this moment, the leaves on the trap were gone. It seemed that something had fallen.

Luo Cheng first asked Li Xiaoran to stand at a place not far away without moving, while he carefully touched the side of the trap.

At this moment, an adult buck was kneeling in the trap.

“Wife, I told you that you were lucky, but you refused to admit it. I really didn’t expect to capture a deer the moment we came to the first trap!” Luo Cheng smiled when he saw the deer.

When Li Xiaoran heard that there was a deer in the trap, she became curious.

“Then can I come over and take a look?”

“Wait, I’ll clean up the surrounding leaves in case you miss your footing!” Luo Cheng said as he took out the machete he carried and cleared the thick layer of leaves on the ground.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Luo Cheng walked over and led Li Xiaoran to the trap.

Li Xiaoran stuck her head out and looked down into the trap. Indeed, she found a deer trapped inside.

“It’s really a deer! I heard that deer meat is delicious. Unfortunately, I’ve never eaten it before!”

“If you want to eat it, keep this one for yourself!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and said dotingly.

“What did you do after you hunted the deer in the past?” Li Xiaoran looked at her man and asked, “Do you exchange it for silver?”

“It would be a pity to exchange it for silver! A deer is filled with treasures, so we naturally have to make the best of it!” Luo Cheng shook his head and said.

“What should we do now? We can’t possibly walk around the mountains with a deer, right?” Li Xiaoran looked at the deer in the trap and asked hesitantly.

Luo Cheng hadn’t thought of this either, so he was in a dilemma.

If he brought this deer back, it would be impossible for him to pick herbs today.

But it was impossible for two people to bring a deer around the mountains!

“How about this? Let’s tie up this deer and put it in the stone house where I often spend the night resting. Then we’ll find herbs!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said.

“Stone house?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously, “There’s a stone house in the mountains?”

“Yes! I don’t know who built it, but I found it by accident, so I renovated it and changed the door and lock. I used to be alone. Sometimes, I would spend the night hunting in the mountains or looking for herbs. The stone house was the best place to spend the night!” Luo Cheng nodded.

With that, Luo Cheng tied up the deer in the trap, then carried the deer and jumped out of the trap.

However, Luo Cheng didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he let Li Xiaoran take a few steps back. He placed the tied deer on the ground and set up the trap again.

After doing all this, Luo Cheng picked up the deer and walked ahead.

“You have to follow me closely from now on. Don’t get lost!” Luo Cheng reminded her.

“Yes, don’t worry! I definitely won’t get lost!” Li Xiaoran said confidently.

She was already an adult. How could she get lost?!

In fact, if one didn’t listen to others’ advice, something might really happen.

When she climbed up a hill, Li Xiaoran suddenly lost her footing and slid down.

Feeling her center of gravity shift, Li Xiaoran knew that she was definitely going to fall.

Before she could cry out, an arm was around her waist, then he jumped with her toward a flat spot above.

After standing on the ground, Li Xiaoran, who was still in shock, was stunned.

“Didn’t you agree to follow me? It seems that I really can’t trust you!” Luo Cheng chuckled.

Then, Luo Cheng took out the rope he had brought and tied one end to Li Xiaoran’s waist and the other to his waist.

“If anything happens to you again, I’ll be able to save you in time!”

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran subconsciously looked around and noticed the rope tied to her waist.

“Don’t just stand there! Wife, do you need me to carry you on my shoulder like a deer?” Luo Cheng picked up the deer that he had thrown to the side and teased Li Xiaoran.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, her heart warmed. Then, she walked forward and grabbed Luo Cheng’s clothes.

“No, I’ll just pull your shirt!”

Seeing this, Luo Cheng thought for a moment and freed up one hand. Then, he pulled Li Xiaoran’s hand and continued climbing the mountain.
