Chapter 398 The Hunter's Little Darling 59
Winter in the mountains is really long, but Xie Qingyu met quite a few outsiders during this time.
Children are prone to illness in winter. Xie Qingyu has treated two sick children who had tried various methods to reduce fever at home without success before finally coming to Xie Qingyu's clinic.
Fortunately, Xie Qingyu had stockpiled some herbs when she went up the mountain, which came in handy at this moment.
Actually, the children in the mountains are quite hardy and rarely get sick. However, they often get into trouble while playing wildly in the snow during the winter.
Afterwards, both families brought gifts to express their gratitude, further solidifying Dr. Xie's reputation.
Apart from that, Xie Qingyu seemed to have only met her cousin and younger cousin a few times.
The rest of the long period was spent hibernating.
When the snow began to melt, the temperature rose slightly, but it was still not hot enough to go out hunting.
Some families who might be running out of food have already started going up the mountain, but they don't need it at home. The food that Tu Shen brought back is enough for them to eat for a while longer.
The first thing to recover this winter was Xie Qingyu's eyes; she can now see things clearly again.
Secondly, Xie Qingyu had gained a little weight, which was what Tu Shen was most satisfied with.
He was proud of the little bit of meat he had grown.
The only regret is...
"I've tried so hard, why am I still not pregnant?" Tu Shen had already learned during a casual chat that Xie Qingyu's brief fall into the water last time would not have any effect on her body.
So now that they've been married for so long without having children, he's starting to doubt himself.
"If you just restrain yourself a little, you'll have it." Xie Qingyu glanced at him.
Tu Shen still didn't understand what she meant, after all, because he had been too intimate with Xie Qingyu in bed, she hadn't spared him any.
Xie Qingyu could tell from his expression that he didn't understand, so she explained, "Having sex too frequently is not good for getting pregnant; in fact, it makes it even harder to conceive."
If it were possible to conceive with effort, given Tu Shen's insatiable demands, the entire mountainside should be filled with their children by now.
"So that's how it is?" Tu Shen muttered to himself.
Xie Qingyu thought he would say he would be more restrained in the future, but he didn't play by the rules.
"That's good. I'll work harder in the future and try not to have a child to bother us."
.........
It's strange that Tu Shen stopped dwelling on the matter. After spending so much time at home with Xie Qingyu, he had gotten used to having her by his side no matter what he did.
Now that the snow has made it a bit slippery, he always takes Xie Qingyu with him when he wants to go up the mountain to take a look, and they just wander around the area.
The time when the snow has just melted is also the easiest time to catch prey, as animals that have been hibernating all winter begin to come out to forage.
It seems that no one has disturbed them for a long time, as these animals are still dazed and confused, and some can be caught with bare hands without any tools.
Several days passed like this, and the family still had quite a lot of game stored up.
Tu Shen kept all these living creatures and did not slaughter them.
This is for future use.
Even Xie Qingyu only realized belatedly why these prey had stayed behind.
Because Tu Shen was going to take Xie Qingyu down the mountain.
This was something he had promised Xie Qingyu from the beginning: to take her down the mountain to see if her parents were still alive, and then to buy her some things.
Tu Shen's plan was excellent; these prey were kept so they could be sold for a better price.
