Chapter 39: Unusual Talent
"Mmm, Xiao Die's cooking is really good!"
Chen Xue, with a mouthful of chicken, couldn't help but praise. It was her first time eating Xiao Die's cooking, and she didn't expect it to be so delicious.
"It's indeed very good."
Madam Chen also praised, "The chefs in the mansion don't have such skills."
Xiao Die felt embarrassed by the praise, but remembering how Chen Xue had scared her earlier, she looked at her with resentment.
"Miss, can you not scare me next time? I almost cut my finger just now, and there's still a bloody smell on my face."
"Cough!"
Chen Xue felt embarrassed. She had no idea that Xiao Die would have such a strong reaction to the word "insects", "My bad this time, it won't happen again."
In no time, the three of them were full.
"Mom, why don't we stay in here after our nap? There are beds here anyway."
Chen Xue had moved all the beds from home into the space, except for their own rooms and some of the servants' beds. So now there were seven or eight beds in the space, enough for them to sleep comfortably, along with blankets and pillows.
"Okay!"
Madam Chen hadn't slept in a bed for a long time. Lying on the soft blanket, she immediately felt comfortable and soon fell asleep.
Chen Xue also found a bed and climbed onto it. Before falling asleep, she felt like she had forgotten something, but couldn't remember what it was, so she didn't dwell on it and decided to think about it later.
It wasn't until later that Chen Xue woke up from her nap, rubbed her eyes, suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed.
"Oh no!"
Madam Chen heard her daughter's exclamation and quickly got up, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Mom, did we forget something?" Chen Xue smiled bitterly.
"Forget what?"
Madam Chen was puzzled and couldn't think of anything for a moment.
"Master is still outside, he hasn't eaten yet..." Xiao Die, who didn't know when she had come over, reminded them.
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen face changed suddenly, and she exchanged a glance with her daughter, feeling embarrassed.
It was true.
They had agreed earlier that they would eat first and then let Chen Yuan enter to eat, but they ended up sleeping after eating, leaving Chen Yuan waiting outside.
"Will Dad be angry?"
Chen Xue said weakly. After all, they didn't know how long they had slept, and her father was probably starving by now.
Madam Chen also felt a bit guilty, but then she justified herself, "He wouldn't! It's just making him wait a little longer, what's the big deal?"
"Mom, you're so domineering."
Chen Xue immediately gave her a thumbs up.
Madam Chen coughed and quickly said, "Alright, let's go out quickly. Who knows if something is happening outside."
The three of them immediately left the space and appeared in the carriage. Chen Yuan was still outside guarding, and when he heard movement, he immediately lifted the curtain and entered.
"Did you eat and sleep!" Chen Yuan said somewhat unhappily, obviously knowing his wife and daughter very well and guessed it instantly.
"Cough, Dad, we didn't sleep for long, did we?"
"And you say you didn't sleep for long." Chen Yuan gave her a stern look. "Look outside, it's already dark, it's almost dinner time."
Chen Xue lifted the curtain and indeed the sun was about to set, suddenly feeling a bit guilty.
"My stomach is growling, and you went to sleep after eating..." Chen Yuan sighed, "Now, we can have lunch and dinner together."
"And, Xu Tian also came to visit, luckily he didn't ask for you, or I couldn't have explained it."
"Alright alright, it was just an accident, we won't forget next time, no need to be angry." Madam Chen interrupted him.
"I'm not angry" Chen Yuan said, widening his eyes, looking unhappy.
"If you're not angry, then why are you glaring at us?" Madam Chen rolled her eyes, "I know you too well."
"I just wanted to remind you not to stay too long next time, otherwise the bailiffs will come, and I won't be able to call you out..."
"By the way, what delicious food did you eat that you forgot about me." Chen Yuan complained, "I feel like I'm unnecessary."
"It was your idea to let us eat first, wasn't it?" Madam Chen gave him a stern look.
"Cough cough cough." Chen Xue coughed, interrupting her parents' argument, "Dad, did Xu Tian say anything when he came?"
"He came to say that when we rest at night, we can send a few servants with him to go hunting."
In the evening, they would camp and rest, not in a hurry to travel, so they had time to go hunting and change their taste.
However, these prisoners still couldn't go too far, except for those bailiffs. So, Xu Tian and the others would take the opportunity to go hunting and satisfy their cravings.
However, this time, Xu Tian thought of the Chen family and brought the Chen family's servants, so they could also go hunting together.
This way, the Chen family could have meat to eat and supplement their nutrition.
However, this approach was risky. If the Chen family's servants escaped, Xu Tian would have to take responsibility.
But Xu Tian still did it, which moved Chen Yuan.
Give a peach, get a plum.
Chen Yuan naturally had to choose loyal servants who wouldn't run away to help.
"I want to go too!"
Chen Xue suddenly became interested. It was her first time hunting, and she also wanted to seize the opportunity to catch more animals to raise in the space.
After all, there was too little meat in the space, only chickens, ducks, and geese. If they could catch rabbits, wild chickens, and other animals, they could change their taste.
"No, it's too dangerous."
Chen Yuan decisively refused, "Hunting is not a trivial matter. You might encounter tigers, bears, and other fierce beasts. It's too dangerous..."
"Dad!"
"I'm going with them, it's not dangerous, there are servants with us, right? Besides, Dad, don't you want to eat meat..."
"Don't want to." Chen Yuan said without hesitation, but then his stomach growled, making him feel a bit embarrassed.
Chen Xue stifled a laugh, "Dad, look, even your stomach wants meat."
"It's because you forgot about me and I didn't have lunch."
Chen Yuan gave them a glare, letting the servants make their own lunch and thinking about going to Chen Xue's space to eat, but they didn't come out until noon.
His stomach was starving, and they only came out in the evening.
"Why stop your daughter if there's nothing dangerous."
"How can there be no danger? It's getting dark, what if someone falls on the way? What if they encounter snakes?"
"It's almost winter, where are the snakes!" Chen Xue muttered.
"If not snakes, there are venomous insects, and..."
"Cough cough cough."
Madam Chen coughed, staring at Chen Yuan meaning to stop, and Chen Yuan immediately stopped talking.
"The daughter has grown up, there's no need for these restrictions."
Madam Chen gave him a stern look, ultimately making the decision. Chen Yuan wanted to argue, but seeing Madam Chen's expression, he quickly swallowed his words and finally said.
"Be careful, come back immediately if anything happens."
