The Male Lead’s Wife in the ’80s

Chapter 20- It Turns Out That He Has Powers

“Aiya, if I had known earlier, I would have come up with another basket.”

Su Man-er was a little annoyed. Now she didn’t have a basket for eggs. How should she bring these eggs back?

Chi Yunchen put down the basket that was on his back. He looked around and saw that there were vines not far in front of him. His eyes slightly moved, and he hurriedly walked over.

Su Man-er looked at his movements: “Hey, what are you doing?”

Chi Yunchen didn’t answer her promptly.

He quickly picked a few vines and then replied: “Didn’t you say that you wanted a basket? I’ll make a basket for you!”

Su Man-er: “…”

She looked at him in amazement, “You can also make baskets?”

Chi Yunchen gave a faint “en”.

He took the vines and went to a dry place. He bent down, sat, and began to weave the basket.

Su Man-er stood in front of him and looked at him for a while. She saw that he was really able to weave baskets. Her mouth twitched and she murmured in her heart: He really deserves to be the male lead, he even has the skill to weave baskets. I see that he’s weaving the basket very smoothly, he looks exactly like a craftsman.

And Chi Yunchen moved very fast, and the basket was soon completed.

He handed her the basket. “Take it.”

Su Man-er looked at the exquisite basket made of vines. She raised her eyebrows and smiled. Suddenly she joked with him: “If we don’t have other ways to earn money in the future, you can make baskets and sell it. This basket is so good that it will surely sell well in the market.”

Chi Yunchen: “…”

He frowned, looked askance at her, and did not reply.

He got up and went to the pheasant. He reached out and picked up the pheasant.

He weighed it in his hand gently, and the pheasant weighed at least seven jin. It was rare to see such a heavy pheasant.

“Let’s eat the pheasant ourselves, we won’t sell it.”

Su Man-er carried the basket to the eggs, intending to pick up the eggs.

Chi Yunchen glanced at her: “This is what you found. You have the final say.”

He didn’t know if she had been patronized by the goddess of fortune.

Otherwise, how could she collect mushrooms in winter? She also collected a pheasant and eggs here.

""

He originally thought he could only cut and bring some firewood back today.

“I’ll look for rabbits after I’ve collected the eggs. Rabbit meat is also delicious. I want to eat rabbit meat,” Su Man-er said, bending down in front of the pheasant nest to pick up the eggs.

Chi Yunchen listened to her words: “…”

She was really goal-oriented. She said that it was necessary to find mushrooms, pheasants, and rabbits.

Oh, she also said she would collect tree fungi. Would she go find tree fungi later?

But he didn’t stop her this time.

After all, she was very lucky today. What if she could really find rabbits?

If she could find rabbits, then if he stopped her now, he would be blocking her from the road to riches.

After Su Man-er collected the eggs, she stood up and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She was very tired from being busy on the mountain.

She walked back to Chi Yunchen to have a rest. She was planning to say that she wanted to go find rabbits in other places.

And the bird suddenly flew to her and chirped, and even stood on the grass in front of her, pointing to a thorn bush not far away with its wing.

She glanced at the thorn bush and raised her eyebrows.

""

Was it saying that there was something good in the bush?

But…

She took a quick look at the bird and then glanced at Chi Yunchen.

She found that Chi Yunchen didn’t look at the bird as if he hadn’t noticed the bird.

She thought it was somewhat strange that the bird was so intelligent and unusual.

As a matter of fact, it should be able to attract Chi Yunchen’s attention.

But why did he seem like he didn’t see anything?

Could it be that he couldn’t see the bird?

She frowned and puzzled over it. Then she put down the basket in her hands and went to the thorn bush.

Forget it, she wouldn’t care about whether Chi Yunchen could see the bird or not so long as the bird was friendly to her.

Chi Yunchen looked at her figure: “Where are you going?”

Su Man-er slightly raised her voice: “I’ll take a look over there. Maybe we can find rabbits.”

Chi Yunchen: “…”

He was silent for a second and saw that she was going to the thorn bush. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He walked to her and said: “Be careful, don’t get scratched by the thorns!”

“En, I know,” Su Man-er said, sped up her pace, and rushed to the brambles.

There was a hole with a diameter of over 20 centimeters under the thorn bush.

People couldn’t go through the hole. Only things like rabbits could go through.

Su Man-er squatted down and looked into the hole.

She only saw a rabbit nest that was about the size of the pheasant nest in the hole.

There were two gray hares lying in the rabbit nest.

The hares were as wounded as the pheasant with blood on its bodies.

She roughly estimated that each rabbit was fatter than the pheasant and weighed at least eight jin! Two rabbits were at least sixteen jin. If she sold all of them, she could sell it for a lot of money.

She was immediately excited and reached for the rabbits.

It was just that her hands were too short and couldn’t reach.

And her body was too big to go through the hole.

After she couldn’t reach them twice, she stood up and said to Chi Yunchen behind her, “There are rabbits here, but I can’t reach them.”

Chi Yunchen heard her words. Although he had just guessed in his heart that she might have seen something good, he was still surprised to hear her say it.

She was indeed patronized by the goddess of fortune. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find a rabbit nest near the pheasant nest.

He took a deep look at her, stepped forward two steps, quickly squatted down, and looked into the hole.

When he saw the two fat rabbits lying in the nest, his eyebrows moved slightly and his breath couldn’t help tightening.

What fat rabbits! It seemed that this mountain was really a treasure-trove, otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to feed these rabbits to become fat.

After a look, he stretched out his long arm towards the rabbit nest.

Two minutes later, he got both rabbits out.

The two rabbits were badly wounded and dying.

Su Man-er and he each carried a rabbit back to the basket. She looked at him: “I’ll go to town tomorrow and sell my rabbit and half of the mushrooms.”

“En,” Chi Yunchen answered.

He couldn’t accompany her to sell things tomorrow because he would set off for the county early in the morning tomorrow.

His vacation was over. He was going back to work.

He bent down and sat: “We’ll go back after resting a while.”

Su Man-er came up to him and sat down: ”OK.”

Today was really a good harvest.

Now her heart was as happy as if she won the grand prize.

While they were relaxing, some stones suddenly fell from above!

Those stones were as big as pots. They rushed straight down to Su Man-er and Chi Yunchen.

Su Man-er’s eyes opened wide and her pupils shrank involuntarily.

If she was hit by those stones, she would be injured even if she didn’t die!

And the speed of the stones was so fast that it was too late for the two people to escape.

At the critical moment, Chi Yunchen suddenly glanced at the stones. They turned to the side and rolled down.

""

Su Man-er looked on: “…”

What was going on? How could stones go in a different direction?

These…stones couldn’t become spiritual beings, could it?

She was stupefied for a second and turned to ask Chi Yunchen: “Did you just see that? Did you see those stones turning? They were clearly going to hit us just now. But all of a sudden, they all turned.”

Chi Yunchen’s eyes darkened.

He glimpsed at her: “Maybe there was something that obstructed them. After stones are obstructed, it is normal for them to turn!”

Su Man-er: “…”

Was that it? Did those stones just turn because they were obstructed by something?

But why did she feel like that wasn’t it?

After Chi Yunchen finished speaking, he slightly lowered his eyes which were full of deep dark radiance.

His powers were not usually used in front of people.

If he hadn’t worried about her just now, if he hadn’t been afraid that she would have been hit by those stones, he didn’t think at all and used his powers.

The author has something to say:
Chi Yunchen: If it wasn’t for my wife, I might have let the stones hit me directly. Anyway, I’m not afraid of pain.
