Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Luo Yunshu stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Brother Xia An, what are we doing today?"

Xia An pondered for a moment,

"Get some firewood to heat up the kang (heated brick bed) in the clinic and let the dampness out."

"You can bring over the medicinal herbs from your place and the ones Uncle Xie has stored."

"Also, Uncle Xie and the others mentioned preparing medicine cabinets, drying racks, and winnowing baskets. I wonder if they've prepared them yet?"

"Everything can be moved here now."

Luo Yunshu nodded. "The medicine cabinet and drying rack should be given to Uncle Deming and Brother Liting."

"These winnowing baskets are probably being made by Scarface and a few other old men, but I don't know the specifics."

Xia An nodded, "Then let's leave that for now and bring the medicinal herbs over."

"good!"

Luo Yunshu and the other person nodded.

The three walked towards Luo Yunshu's house. Xia An thought of something...

"Sister Yuxue has gone into the mountains again?"

Luo Yunshu shook her head, "I originally planned to come together, but Uncle Kong seems to have something to discuss with her."

"Uncle Kong?"

Xia An looked slightly puzzled. "You're not talking about Uncle Kong Boyue, are you?"

Luo Yun nodded.

Xia An frowned slightly. "Why would Uncle Kong want to see her out of the blue?"

"I don't know about that."

Luo Yunshu shook her head.

Kong Qingci glanced at Xia An thoughtfully, vaguely guessing her uncle's thoughts.

But she looked somewhat surprised and suspicious. Her uncle had clearly told her to spend more time with Xia An, so why was he deliberately letting Yun Shu and Li Yuxue get close to Xia An?

She watched Xia An's retreating figure, a sense of surprise and suspicion creeping into her heart, as if she had a guess.

But it also seemed like I wasn't sure.

The three arrived at Luo Yunshu's house and saw Li Yuxue carrying a hunting rifle, seemingly about to go out.

"Sister Yuxue, are you going hunting again?"

Xia An frowned slightly.

Li Yuxue smiled and said, "I'm used to it. When I have nothing to do, I go for a walk in the mountains."

Xia An opened her mouth, but shook her head slightly and uttered a sentence:

Be careful.

"good!"

Li Yuxue nodded and turned to leave.

Xia An felt helpless, and his desire to get Li Yuxue to move her household registration and stop going into the mountains became even more urgent.

He shook his head slightly, and led Luo Yunshu and the other woman to carry all the medicinal herbs to the clinic.

Those placed with the Xie family were no exception.

Back in the clinic,

Kong Qingci took the initiative to heat the kang (a heated brick bed), and Xia An looked at Luo Yunshu and said:

"Now that the clinic has been established, more people should come for treatment, so it will be necessary to go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs regularly."

"Let's set a time: regular consultations will be from 3 to 7 a.m., and after 7 p.m. in the afternoon."

"Keep an eye on things for a while while I go into the mountains to gather herbs."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu hesitated, "Brother Xia An, there's really no need to push yourself so hard."

"Compared to the medicine, your safety is the most important thing."

Kong Qingci chimed in, "Xia Zhiqing, Yun Shu is right too."

"It's not safe in the mountains after all, so we can buy more medicinal herbs from the commune."

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"I'm a very cautious person, and I won't go into the mountains unless I'm sure I'm safe."

"Let's go with this time. We can gather as much as we can during this period, because we won't be able to gather any herbs during the winter."

"certainly…"

Xia An then changed the subject.

"I only gather herbs on the outskirts of the mountains. If there's an emergency, you wouldn't be able to make a diagnosis."

"You can fire the team's hunting rifles at the edge of the forest to signal me to come back."

"good!"

Luo Yunshu nodded.

Xia An instructed Bai Ling to stay in the inner room and not run around, just like yesterday.

Immediately, he shouldered his hunting rifle and medicine basket and left, heading straight into the mountains.

We have over two thousand catties of firewood and plenty of firewood, which is more than enough for now.

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of food in the space; we can just pick up a couple of bundles every now and then to take back.

This trip into the mountains is still for gathering medicinal herbs; if we're lucky, we might go hunting.

Of course, pheasants and wyverns are no longer on his prey list.

Everything else remains the same.

Today, however, he seems to be having good luck.

Not long after entering the mountains, we discovered traces of a black bear, and they were fresh.

He carried a sniper rifle and followed the trail.

Soon,

Then they heard a bear roar in the distance.

Xia An was slightly startled and quickly climbed the tree to search for the black bear's tracks with a scope.

"Oh ho!"

"Is this luck even remotely good?"

Xia An chuckled softly, his eyes fixed on the target two hundred meters away through the scope.

But over there,

A black bear sat under a tree, watching two larger black bears in front of it.

They appear to be vying for mating rights.

Behind the black bear, two bear cubs were perched in a tree, curiously looking down.

Xia An chuckled softly, "It's like they've encountered a black bear fighting over a bride!"

He adjusted his sniper rifle, surveyed his surroundings, and made sure no one was picking the peaches.

Immediately, he took out tranquilizer darts and loaded them; he had reserved these three black bears.

As for the bear cubs, they should only be five or six months old.

If the mother bear falls, they won't run away.

Seeing that the male bear seemed ready to attack, Xia An no longer hesitated.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out in succession, and the mother bear and two male bears fell one after another.

Although there was a gap between the three shots, they clearly didn't react in time.

I was directly infected!

Xia An quickly climbed down the tree, grabbed his gun, and ran towards the other side.

Of course, even in his haste, he didn't run too fast.

He was constantly paying attention to his surroundings.

After all, when male bears are vying for mating rights, there are occasionally wild animals that try to take advantage of the situation.

We can't let ourselves get ruined here just because we're hunting.

Fortunately, his luck remained strong.

In this situation, he was somewhat surprised that there were no lurking beasts thinking of taking advantage of the situation.

quickly,

Arriving at the location of the three black bears,

But then they saw two cubs circling around their mother bear, howling and screaming, and they did not leave.

Upon seeing Xia An approach, the two cubs not only did not flee, but instead growled at Xia An.

Xia An ignored them, quickly approached, and stored the five black bears into his spatial storage.

Without the slightest hesitation, they quickly left the way they had come.

Compared to other directions, he was more familiar with the way he came, and even if he encountered other wild beasts, he was confident that he could kill them or put them into his spatial storage.

Soon,

After confirming that there was no danger nearby, Xia An climbed up the tree and sat on a branch to rest.

At the same time, he scanned all directions to determine if any wild animals were approaching.

In the mountains and forests, the most dangerous thing to be wary of is people, followed by ferocious wild animals or venomous snakes.

of course,

Those who appear in this area are most likely hunters from Anping Village, so it's unlikely.

Xia An rested for a short while and was about to leave when her eyes suddenly narrowed.
