Han Shi did not know what happened. He only felt a fragrant breeze and a heavy object on his body. He was caught off guard and staggered and fell.
As Qin Xi flew at Han Shi, she threw the small shovel in her hand. On the branch, an extremely bright green snake was instantly split into two.
"Phew… That was close!"
Seeing that the danger was gone, Qin Xi relaxed. She subconsciously looked at Han Shi, who was already scared silly, and patted his handsome face worriedly. "Are you alright?"
It was also at this moment that Qin Xi realized that she was riding on Han Shi. Her face immediately turned red and she got off him awkwardly.
Although he was her husband and she could ride him for all she wanted…
However, knowing that her husband was a man with a child's intelligence, all her desires were instantly gone. Moreover, she only wanted to become stronger now. At least, she wanted to be stronger than in her previous life where she was hunted down and killed.
"Huh? Are you scared silly?" Seeing that he still couldn't get up, Qin Xi teased.
Han Shi was in trance. A blurry memory flashed across his mind, but he could not quite catch it. What he felt was that the scene of Qin Xi riding on him was like a deja vu. He tried his best to recall it, but the back of his head instantly hurt whenever he used his brain to think.
"Are you really scared silly?" Qin Xi waved her hand in front of his eyes worriedly.
Han Shi held the back of his head and pouted. "Wifey, my head hurts!"
"Huh? Let me see?"
Qin Xi touched his forehead and took his pulse. She asked solemnly, "Han Shi, tell me, who hit you on the head? And your head was hit more than once."
When she woke up the first day, she knew that Han Shi's mental retardation was not innate but man-made. The injury on the back of his head had been there for at least fifteen years.
In other words, Han Shi was only six years old at that time when he was hit on the head.
Who did it?
Who was so crazy as to do this to a child?
Qin Xi gritted her teeth. She wished she could go and settle the score with the culprit now and let him or her have a taste of what it felt like to be a fool for more than ten years.
Seeing that Qin Xi's expression was a little angry, Han Shi was a little nervous. He carefully tugged at Qin Xi's pants. "Wifey, did you fall and hurt yourself? Where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."
Qin Xi sighed. She reached out and pulled him up from the ground. She patted the dust and grass on his body and said, "I'm fine. Let's continue!"
"Oh!"
This time, Han Shi followed behind Qin Xi obediently like a golden retriever, helping her pick herbs and carry the basket. The two of them walked deeper and deeper until they heard the sound of a wild boar not far away.
"Wifey, there's a boar!"
Han Shi's ears perked up and his eyes lit up. He took out a rusty machete and protected Qin Xi behind him.
Because his ancestors were all hunters, Han Shi was very interested in hunting. When he was young, he often heard his grandfather talk about hunting and admired him very much.
However, after Han Shi's father died of an accident while going out to hunt, his grandfather never mentioned hunting again.
Han Shi had been very sensitive since he was young. He knew that his grandfather would be in a bad mood whenever he mentioned hunting, so he brought it up.
However, deep down inside him, the dream of being a hunter never faded.
Looking at the man in front of her, Qin Xi was slightly stunned and felt sweet inside.
She recalled the days when she was constantly on the run in her previous life. Other than her parents who could stand in front of her in times of danger, this was the only time when a man stood in front of her to protect her without holding back.
"Wifey, don't be afraid. I will protect you!" Han Shi patted his chest with confidence written all across his face.
Qin Shi smiled and looked at him with sparkling eyes. She nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I believe you!"
As she spoke, she secretly tightened her grip on the shovel, her eyes as sharp as a sword.
At this moment, the wild boar suddenly charged out of the grass. Seeing that it was a half-grown boar that weighed less than a hundred kilograms, Qin Xi was relieved.
Han Shi held the machete tightly and said to Qin Xi, "Wifey, hide behind the tree. I'll go and kill it. Tomorrow, I'll get Mom to cook a delicious wild boar stew for us."
Boar stew was a very popular dish in the countryside.
Especially with Luo Xiujuan's special seasoning, it was simply superb. As Han Shi thought about it, he drooled.
The corners of Qin Xi's mouth twitched. Although the wild boar was not big, it was not easy to deal with, especially when it was on high alert. A fool like Han Shi could not deal with it at all.
She quickly stopped him. "Wait! Stone, let me do it!"
Han Shi pushed her to the side stubbornly with a solemn expression. "No, wifey, hide behind the tree!"
At this moment, the wild boar had already seen them and charged at them. Han Shi held the machete tightly and slashed at the boar's nose.
Sensing danger, the wild boar lowered its head and easily dodged the machete. It tilted its body and kicked its hooves, wanting to kick Han Shi. Han Shi was quite agile. He jumped backward and dodged the attack, taking the opportunity to slash the wild boar.
The wild boar's skin was too thick and the machete was too blunt to deal any damages. Even though Han Shi had used all his might, the damage felt like at most a scratch to the boar.
The wild boar turned around and continued to charge at Han Shi. Han Shi's eyes were firm as he confronted it head-on, not showing a sign of backing away.
Qin Xi picked up a bowl-sized stone from the ground and threw it at the boar's head. This time, she injected a trace of true Qi into it. The wild boar was too focused on Han Shi to notice the sneak attack behind it.
This time, it was hit right on the head. The boar staggered as if it was drunk.
Seeing that there was an opportunity, Han Shi slashed at the wild boar crazily.
The wild boar howled miserably.
Its voice was sharp and ear-piercing, and it echoed throughout the entire forest, sounding very terrifying.
Qin Xi's heart skipped a beat. She felt that the wild boar was calling for help and knew that it had to be dealt with immediately.
She quickly walked to Han Shi's side and snatched the machete. She activated the True Qi in her body and stabbed the machete into the wild boar's head.
The force of this strike was too great. The tip of the machete went right into the boar's brain. The wild boar let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground with a bang, twitching and dead.
Han Shi was so excited that he was about to clap his hands and cheer when he was pulled by Qin Xi. After running for a while, she urged, "Quick, climb the tree!"
Almost all the children in the countryside knew how to climb trees. Be it boys or girls, they were all good at climbing trees. Han Shi was naturally no exception. However, he did not understand why they had to climb trees. He asked in confusion, "Why do we have to climb trees? Then… then which tree should we climb?"
"Any tree!"
Qin Xi replied anxiously. Han Shi picked a tree and climbed up on all fours. Just as he was about to turn around and pull Qin Xi up, Qin Xi had already climbed to the top of the tree and was carefully observing a certain direction
Han Shi scratched his head and praised honestly, "Wifey, you're awesome!"
