Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1935: In the Mountain Chapter 1935: In the Mountain Editor: Henyee Translations It was a rare occasion for them to venture out for leisure and exercise, and excitement permeated the group.

As the mountain path gradually grew rugged and overgrown with weeds, fatigue failed to dampen their spirits.

In the depths of the winter mountains, the stark and desolate scenery instilled a profound sense of chill and solemnity.

As the sky brightened, a wet white fog gently cascaded along the mountain ridges with the morning breeze, creating an ethereal veil.

The emerald hues of the mountains enveloped by this mist exuded a serene beauty reminiscent of paradise.

Despite the winter season, the intermediate mountains resonated with the melodious chirping of numerous birds.

Their cheerful tunes reverberated through the ancient forest, infusing the travelers with renewed vitality and dispelling fatigue.

Anze Province seldom experienced snow, save for occasional moderate falls every few years.

However, deep within the mountains, those braving the cold could behold the enchanting spectacle of rime-covered trees rivaling the allure of snow-dusted landscapes—a true crystalline wonderland of unparalleled clarity!

Although it was only the twelfth lunar month and not yet cold enough to witness the breathtaking rime, there was no need to fret; they could still marvel at it from the lofty peaks near Liuhe Manor when the time came.

Today, their purpose was clear: they had come for the hunt.

At that moment, the sun had just risen, casting a gentle morning glow upon the landscape.

It was around nine in the morning.

Zheng Sangge, Ah-Ye, Liu Fu, and the others surveyed the terrain and unanimously agreed that it was promising.

With its rugged terrain and towering ancient trees, it held great potential for a successful hunt.

With ample time at their disposal, there was no need for haste.

They settled in a spot and indulged in the dry provisions they had brought along.

Liu Fu, Qiaoqiao, and the other children were particularly animated, eagerly discussing their expectations for the day’s hunt.

Under the tutelage of Zheng Sangge and the others, Liu Fu’s martial skills had advanced rapidly.

He even expressed his desire to bag two significant prey for his Lord and Madam, much to Qiaoqiao and the others’ envy.

Caught between amusement and concern, Shao Yunduan cautioned, “The mountain is fraught with peril, and you are still young.

Don’t take unnecessary risks.

Confronting wild beasts could have dire consequences!” Liu Fu grinned mischievously.

“I’ll stick close to Uncle Zheng.

Don’t worry, Lord.” Qiao Xuan chimed in with a smile, “If you encounter a wild boar, make sure to flee.

They’re the kings of the mountains, and you shouldn’t provoke them unless you’re confident!” Liu Fu’s eyes widened in astonishment and admiration.

“Yes, yes!

Madam knows about this too!” Mianmian and Qiaoqiao echoed in unison, “Madam knows everything!” Laughter filled the air, Qiao Xuan included.

After a simple meal, the group dispersed to search for prey in the mountains.

This terrain was beyond compare for the average person.

The mountains were rugged, the vegetation dense, and countless birds and beasts lurked amidst the foliage.

Yet, success in hunting still relied on luck!

Despite the challenges, the group exuded confidence, bolstered by their numbers and collective experience.

Zheng Sangge had already delegated scouts to forge ahead and leave markers along the path, while the rest followed at a distance.

Walking alongside the team, Qiao Xuan grasped Shao Yunduan’s hand and communicated with the plants as she moved.

With a gentle sweep of her power, she surveyed everything within range.

Their surroundings teemed with wildlife: pheasants, grouse, mountain eagles, wild rabbits, roe deer, foxes, squirrels, musk deer, mountain cats… A diverse array of birds and beasts populated the landscape.
