Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Using the Painting as Bait

It was obvious that Xu Linjiang was a good husband, he always had his wife in mind no matter the time.

She too was eagerly hoping that he could make some money so that one day he could live a good life with Ge Xiaotong.

”Uncle, let’s go, time to pick the ferns!”

Although excited, Xu Linjiang still dared not let his guard down. He had scattered some homemade medicinal powder made by Chiang Songhai in the area and had checked around with a stick before letting Chiang Xiao go over.

”Little, if you get tired, just rest on the side.” He was already worried about Chiang Xiao getting tired even before they had started working.

Chiang Xiao’s heart wasn’t really on the ferns, and upon hearing this, she took advantage of the situation saying, ”Uncle, then may I go wash my face before coming?”

”I’ll go with you,” Xu Linjiang said, immediately becoming concerned again.

Chiang Xiao quickly waved her hands, ”No need, no need, uncle. Actually, I just need to relieve myself.”

How embarrassing, did she have to use such an excuse every time she came with them?

Xu Linjiang felt a bit embarrassed too, but he still insisted on finding her a spot to ”relieve herself.” After finding a small mound, considering its good privacy, he checked again for snakes, carefully sprinkled some medicinal powder, waited a bit to ensure there was no danger, and then gestured Chiang Xiao to come over.

”If anything seems off, just yell, do you hear me?”

Chiang Xiao quickly nodded her head.

That was when Xu Linjiang walked away to pick the ferns.

Finally alone, Chiang Xiao immediately took out several drawings from Space.

Because she had seen the benefits last time, this time she drew some carrots, as well as some bloody raw meat, a few burgers with ham in them, and a pile of golden rice grains.

It was an experimental stage now, and she didn’t know what would be best to draw, but trying out different things was not wrong.

These objects, if replaced with ordinary physical items, might not have any effect; for instance, actual carrots, if placed here, might not attract wild rabbits.

But the things drawn with the Magic Brush, coupled with her excellent artistry, looked lifelike. Infused with the Magic Brush’s spiritual energy, the scent these items emitted on the paper was even more intense than that of the real objects.

Take that pile of rice grains, for example—Chiang Xiao could smell an exceptionally sweet rice aroma, and she couldn’t help but keep thinking about a plate of white rice, making her mouth water.

She placed these items separately and didn’t wait there but took out a small trowel from her basket and went to a nearby Lin Zi to look for herbs.

Hunting game and finding herbs were her main objectives for the trip.

In that Lin Zi, there were several bent-over trees that looked like they had fallen a long time ago, with their break points turned black and moss growing over their trunks.

Chiang Xiao walked over, using the small trowel to push aside the grass, carefully looking for herbs.

She wasn’t really worried about danger by now because her hearing had become very sharp. If a snake or some other animal approached, she would surely hear it.

Just like the previous snake incident – before Xu Linjiang took action, she had already heard the rustling sound of the snake.

Suddenly, she noticed a large black mass on the tree that had fallen to the ground.

Chiang Xiao quickly walked over, about to squat down to inspect, when she heard Xu Linjiang’s voice calling out, ”Little, are you alright?”

Turns out, Xu Linjiang, seeing that she had been quiet for a while and hadn’t returned, got worried. And because he feared she might still be relieving herself, he was too embarrassed to come over directly.
