Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1199

Accustomed to their habit of speaking in unison, Li Chenze nodded and reminded them, "You two mustn’t tell anyone about this."

They nodded and replied solemnly, "Father, we won’t tell anyone."

Since her husband only went to slaughter the prey, Zhang Dongmei was reassured and said, "Be careful in the mountain and come back as soon as you are done." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Li Chenze smiled at his wife and nodded,"If you feel unwell, have the children inform the Third Sister-in-law or my third brother."

"Don’t worry about me," Zhang Dongmei replied.

Before leaving, Li Chenze turned to his sons and said, "Behave and don’t trouble your mother."

Hearing his father’s words, Li Jingxu patted his chest and replied, "Father, I will keep an eye on my brother."

When he heard his second son’s words, Li Chenze felt more at ease. His eldest son often caused trouble, but with his younger brother watching him, he wouldn’t get into trouble.

After storing the vegetables in the warehouse, he took several sacks, ropes, a shoulder pole, a dagger, and a boning knife. He put everything into his bamboo basket before rejoining Zhang Ermu. "Ermu, let’s go."

The two left through the backyard and headed into the mountain. Taking a shortcut, they reached the location in forty minutes.

Initially, Li Chenze assumed the wild boar and bear were just a boarlet and a cub. But when Zhang Ermu uncovered the trap, the size of the animals left him speechless.

Judging from the tusks, the wild boar should be an adult male boar and weigh over 300 kilograms. The brown bear was over two meters tall and seemed to weigh nearly 600 kilograms.

Looking at the huge pit, Li Chenze asked, "Ermu, why did you dig such a huge pit?"

While preparing the tools, Zhang Ermu replied, "Since my prey kept getting eaten by larger beasts, I decided to dig a bigger, deeper pit so I can catch a wild boar. I never thought it would actually catch not only a wild boar but also a brown bear."

Li Chenze went silent for a moment before saying, "Ermu, why didn’t I know you had such good luck?"

Hearing his friend’s words, Zhang Ermu chuckled and replied, "I also doubt my luck. Actually, I was able to catch more prey thanks to your third brother."

Li Chenze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Ermu took a small jar out of his clothes and showed it to his friend while saying, "It’s because I mix this powder with the bait. Your third brother told me to add a pinch of it whenever I prepare the bait. I don’t know what this powder is, but every time I use it, I manage to catch at least one or two prey."

The moment Li Chenze saw the jar, he recognized it as the medicinal herb powder made by his third sister-in-law.
