The husband is the hunter

Chapter 3

Qinggang Village is not big, with only dozens of households. It is time for lunch, and the chimneys of every household are emitting smoke. Normally, Fang Lin should be here to cook today, but people from Lijiazhuang came to the door. Naturally, the stepmother couldn't be mean to her in front of her future in-laws, so she let her go.

It was cold in winter and it was the slack season. There were basically no people outside. Fang Lin lowered her head and wandered aimlessly in the village. After walking around for two laps, she suddenly took a deep breath and left the village to go up the mountain.

The snow on the mountain has not yet melted, but Fang Lin is not worried at all. She often digs wild vegetables near the foot of the mountain with the villagers, and can walk up the mountain with her eyes closed.

After walking for about an hour, Fang Lin's shoes were soaked in the snow, but she seemed unconscious. The low snow-covered bushes in the mountains were all left behind by her, and the road became more and more difficult. Further in, it is deep in the mountains where few people even go to the village.

As the sky gradually darkened, Fang Lin wrapped her ragged padded jacket tightly. She accidentally fell down just now, as if she had dissipated the heat accumulated on her body, and felt even colder.The roar of beasts came from far and near in the mountain, which made her quicken her pace.

Finally, a light appeared in front of him.

Fang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door of that family and shouted, "Brother Duan...Brother Duan...are you home?"

It is said to be in front of the gate, but to be more precise, this family lived in a cave, but a fence was built outside, covered with leather to keep out the wind, in case there were wild animals at night, and a pile of firewood was lit outside the cave.

Duan Nanshan was tanning leather in the house, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from outside, he took the oil lamp and went out, opened the door and saw Fang Lin, frowned and said, "Sister Fang, it's getting dark soon, You are a girl, why are you still in the mountains? Wild beasts can’t find food in winter, so it’s not a joke to get ruthless.”

"I..." Fang Lin walked so far, and practiced what she wanted to say several times along the way, but when she came to Duan Nanshan, she couldn't say a word.

There are mountain people in the mountains, which Fang Lin has known since she was a child, but the people in Qinggang Village have been tending to the few acres of land at home all their lives, and few people go hunting in the deep mountains.Duan Nanshan was the first mountain dweller she met. At that time, her stepmother was just pregnant with Baoer. She went out to dig wild vegetables with the people in the village, but got lost and fell into the pit where the hunters buried the traps. Nanshan rescued her.

He is the only one in Duan Nanshan's family, and he lives by hunting on weekdays. When he is lucky, he can eat meat for several days in a row, but when he is unlucky, he will be hungry.Fang Lin would give him some of the wild vegetables he dug occasionally, and he would also share the hunted meat with Fang Lin.The stepmother was ruthless in eating, and all the greasy things went into her and Fang Jiao's stomachs. Thanks to the meat given by Duan Nanshan, Fang Lin and her two younger sisters could have a full meal from time to time.Although the two hadn't had much contact in the past few years, Fang Lin was very grateful to him because of this incident.

Fang Lin thought about it when she was washing clothes at home. Anyway, she was going to marry someone. Marrying an idiot like Li Erzhuzi would be better than marrying Duan Nanshan. But he is a good man, besides, he is not unable to bear hardships.When she came back, she just wanted to ask Duan Nanshan if he would marry her.

Thinking of what she was about to say, Fang Lin's face, which was blown unconscious by the wind, suddenly became hot, and her ears turned red, but she still opened her mouth, "Brother Duan, marry me!"
