Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 312: Going into the Mountains to Dig Lotus Seeds 2

"Don't worry, Mu'er can understand what I say and won't make a fuss. As for Ze'er, as long as he's full, there shouldn't be any problem. Grandpa Zhao will definitely be able to take good care of them both. Let's clean up and go to bed first."

"I really don't know whether I should praise you for being generous." Xu Han rolled her eyes at Lu Chuan.

A mother really is a very contradictory role. When I take care of my children at home every day, I get annoyed when I see them making noises.

But sometimes when I see how cute they are, my maternal love suddenly overflows.

When I am at home with them every day, I always feel like I have no space of my own. I revolve around the children all day long, but when I leave them, I miss them constantly.

Sometimes I wonder if they are obedient, sometimes I wonder if they have eaten enough, and sometimes I wonder if they sleep well...

Just like that, Xu Han fell asleep while thinking...

The next morning, it was still very cold in the mountains.

The two of them didn't get out of bed until it was bright outside.

"It's really cold today. You should wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold." Lu Chuan said to Xu Han while putting on his clothes.

It's already March, but I can still see a cloud of white mist when I speak.

"I see. I'll wear a cotton coat outside and take it off when it gets hot."

"Well, I'll go get some hot water. You can wait a while before getting up. It's dewy outside now, so you can't go out. Just sleep a little longer."

"Okay." Xu Han was struggling over whether to get up, and Lu Chuan said this, so Xu Han just continued to lie in the bed.

Xu Han waited until Lu Chuan boiled the water before she got up reluctantly.

After they finished their breakfast, they left the cave together.

"Which way are we going?" Xu Han asked.

"Let's walk around first. This area is quite remote and I haven't been around much."

"Okay, let's go for a walk first."

The two men walked while looking around, while the dogs were scattered not far away, always on guard.

"These dogs haven't hunted for a long time, so their hunting skills will definitely decline a lot. When you have time in the future, you can train them well."

"Well, the prey in the mountains are in their breeding season now. When summer comes, I will take them to the mountains a few more times."

"We've been wandering in the mountains for a whole day, but we haven't seen much prey. We saw some pheasants and rabbits, but we didn't see any large prey."

"The Taoist priest and I have already cleared several nearby hills. During the famine, we hunted so many wild wolves and tigers. There are no large prey nearby."

"Will the large prey in the distance come this way?"

"It's possible, but we don't know when or if they will come. If no one intervenes for a long time, there will definitely be large prey moving around here."

"Then when the Taoist priest comes back, you should hang out with him more often. Mu'er has grown up now, and I'm really afraid that he will run out alone and get taken away by a tiger."

Xu Han was frightened at the thought, so she had no choice but to sacrifice Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest.

"Don't worry about that. As long as there are enough prey in the mountains, large wild animals will not come to our area.

There are signs of people living near our house, so they will be scared." Lu Chuan smiled and comforted Xu Han.

"Isn't this just in case?"

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, let's go into the mountains more often in the future." Lu Chuan said lovingly.

In this way, the two of them strolled around the nearby hills, and only headed towards the pond at noon.

After arriving at the place, Xu Han first took out lunch from the space.

After lunch, Lu Chuan started to go down to the pond to dig lotus roots.

"This should be enough. The pond at home is not big, so we won't need many lotus seeds. Let's leave the rest here and let them reproduce on their own. We can come and dig them up when they grow up." Xu Han shouted to Lu Chuan in the water.

"I haven't eaten lotus root for a long time. I'll dig some more, enough for two meals at home."

Lu Chuan handed the lotus root in his hand to Xu Han and continued digging.

It was not until the sun slowly set that Lu Chuan got up and went ashore.

"It's still early, let's go to the creek next to us and wash the lotus roots we dug these past two days."

"Okay." After Lu Chuan said that, the two of them walked towards the river again...

The next morning, when the temperature was not so low, Lu Chuan and Xu Han set out for home.

It has been two days since I last saw Mu'er and Ze'er. Xu Han missed them very much. There were no telephones in this era, so it was impossible for her to see them.

Along the way, Xu Han did not stop for too long. He dug wild vegetables and walked quickly home.

It was only around two o'clock when the two of them got home. Seeing that the gate was closed, Lu Chuan knocked on the door and called for help.

"Grandpa Zhao, we are back, open the door quickly."

"Here you are, here you are. I guessed you would arrive around this time, so I was waiting for you."

Grandpa Zhao responded as he walked over here.

"Grandpa Zhao, are Mu'er and the others asleep?" Xu Han asked impatiently as soon as she entered the yard.

"He hasn't slept yet. I told him that you guys would be back soon, so he didn't sleep and was waiting for you two."

Upon hearing this, Xu Han washed her hands and walked quickly into the house.

"Mu'er, mother is back."

"Mom, mom, I miss you so much." After seeing Xu Han, Mu'er ran over quickly. Xu Han caught him, held him in her arms and kissed him.

"Mom misses Mu'er too. Is Mu'er well behaved at home? Does she listen to Grandpa?"

"Mu'er is obedient. Mu'er even helps Grandpa look after his younger brother."

"Mu'er is so great! Mommy will bring you something delicious later."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she handed Mu'er to Lu Chuan who was waiting on the side. It was obvious that Lu Chuan also missed the child, but he pretended to be indifferent.

As soon as the father and son hugged each other, Lu Chuan could no longer pretend and flew around the yard holding Mu'er.

Xu Han listened to the laughter coming from the yard and smiled helplessly.

Then he turned and went back into the room to see his little son who was already sleeping soundly.

When Lu Chuan came in carrying Mu'er, Xu Han had already changed her clothes and fell asleep on the bed.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan hurriedly lowered his footsteps and put his son on the bed. "Mom is asleep, Mu'er should take a nap too. Daddy will go change his clothes and come in soon."

"Okay, Daddy also wants to go to sleep."

When Lu Chuan came out, Grandpa Zhao had already gone back to the house to rest. Seeing this, Lu Chuan simply washed his face and went to bed.
