The Marquis' Wife
Go to the forest

"Wow!! The drinks are so sweet!" Lu Shan shouted excitedly and immediately sipped the chocolate milk impatiently until a brown milk mark was created around his lips.

Lu Cheng also ventured to drink after seeing his sister drink voraciously, he was also surprised and glanced at Adelia who was smiling with Lu Shan's praise. His eyes were shining and without a word he was again inserting more than ever. While Lu Xiang just raised his eyebrows while looking at his wife without showing his surprise but in his heart he was stunned by the sweet taste that he had never tried before.

"What drink is this?" Asked Lu Xiang who could not stem his curiosity.

Adelia smiled pongah, "Hehe this is chocolate milk. Hows it? Yummy, right?"

"Susu" muttered Lu Cheng.

"So this is milk. What kind of milk? I've never seen such turbid milk before" Lu Shan chimed in Lu Cheng's words.

"The milk remains from the cow but the milk is mixed with chocolate. Chocolate is made from chocolate"

"Brown fruit? I've never heard of any of that fruit before". Lu Xiang frowned desperately trying to think of whether he had heard of chocolate fruit before.

"The fruit is like this" Adelia took a firewood twig and drew a brown fruit on the ground of the vestibule.

The three brothers crouched down and looked at the image Adelia had painted, only Lu Xiang was stunned to have seen the fruit so often in the forest she was hunting in, some are intact and some are also hollow because they eat squirrels. He had actually tasted the fruit but the sour and bitter taste when he chewed the fruit like candy makes the interest to be lost, he did not expect that the fruit with a strange taste could produce a sweet taste that is very different from the sugar he used to drink.

"I've seen this fruit in the woods".

Adelia's eyes were shining. "really?" He knows how to process chocolate into sweet chocolate, if he has the main ingredient then he can sell it and make money.

Lu Xiang nodded and felt amused as well as happy to see the clear expression his wife showed. "Yes. We can take it, the tree's not far from the forest"

Adelia nodded and impatiently wanted to pluck it.

Lu Cheng muttered indistinctly as he glanced at Adelia and her brother who were discussing, I don't know what he was thinking. Lu Shan extended the glass back to Adelia and said "I want more brother"

Adelia smiled and picked up the glass but did not fill any more chocolate milk. "If you're a good, obedient child. After I came home from the woods. I'll give you one glass of chocolate milk".

Although Lu Shan was a little disappointed but he still nodded and patted his chest looking reassuring. " You don't have to worry, brother. I'll be a good, obedient boy"

Adelia laughed funnyly and stroked her sister's hair very anxiously.

"Where do you want to go?" The villagers who were at the foot of the mountain in search of wild vegetables or other edible plants asked in surprise to see Lu Xiang and Adelia carrying a large bamboo basket and bow.

"We will enter the forest to hunt and find Aunt Tang's vegetables" Adelia replied with a friendly smile. For the few days he had been in this world, he had never had a conversation with the villagers of Miao.

A surprised look accompanied by a casual look and pity made Adelia's lips pulsate speechless. "Lu Xiang can protect my aunt so aunty doesn't have to worry".

Aunt Tang was disappointed that her advice was not taken and then said again with an expression of 'you don't know anything, I'm doing this for your own good' "Even though Lu Xiang is good at hunting, not that he could defeat all the beasts in the forest. What if you meet a tiger? Or even a lion. Don't mess with your life Adelia"

Adelia's mouth was getting pulsating, wanting to feel like she rolled her eyeballs with a puff but she still tried to smile. "We're not going into the deep woods of Aunt Tang. You take it easy, we go first, Auntie". He immediately pulled the hand of Lu Xiang who was impatient with his aunt Tang who liked to interfere in other people's affairs.

Aunt Tang and the other mothers gathered as they stared at the backs of Adelia and Lu Xiang who had moved away and let out a dramatic sigh. "Young people if in nasehatin are very stubborn" muttered aunt Tang while shaking her head.

An older mother of Tang's aunt chimed in on "Leave it alone. After all they had no choice but to hunt otherwise they would starve"

"Yes yes. But pity Adelia, even though she had just recovered had been told into the forest by Lu Xiang"

"You're right, mother Ming. Adelia is a poor girl, her family does not care and her husband just makes Adelia work even though she is recovering"

Aunt Tang also let out a dramatic sigh.

Adelia was amazed by the view of the forest that she had just seen, she was like a village person entering the city, seeing enthusiasm to and fro occasionally excited when encountering mushrooms, she was like a villager, potatoes or other edible plants.

Lu Xiang just smiled at his wife's behavior, he checked the traps he had made to see if there was a quarry coming in and found two roosters trapped, trapped, he took and tied the beak and legs of the jungle chicken and placed them in a basket before confirming the trap again.

"It's a brown tree like you described but here we call it an acid oval because of its shape and taste" Lu Xiang pointed towards a tree filled with fruit shaped like a brownish yellow rugby ball.

Adelia's eyes glowed, she immediately approached and plucked the brown fruit into the bamboo basket she was carrying. Since no one took the fruit, he picked a lot of chocolate and part of it he put in space when Lu Xiang was busy renewing traps and looking for animals that could be hunted.

While a calm atmosphere surrounded the two, Adelia was busy with chocolate while Lu Xiang was busy looking for a quarry but suddenly Lu Xiang ran over and shouted. "Run up, up the tree!!"

Adelia was startled and eyes widened when she saw the large, black boar with long fangs running after Lu Xiang, Adelia immediately climbed a nearby tree and stared uneasily at her husband.

Lu Xiang galloped away in a sharp turn when he met a large tree.

Booms!!

The wild boar that could not dodge also hit the tree so hard that the leaves of the tree fell. The boar shook its head in pain and then went back after Lu Xiang who was standing not far from him.

"Revelation!!!" Shouted Adelia in fear.
