"Tic tac tic..."
In the middle of the night, a small sound came from outside the window, Gu Changfeng's eyelashes trembled then his eyes opened. The cool night breeze mixed with moist and refreshing water vapor floated in from the window. It turned out that it was raining.
The young man next to him put his hands on his waist and slept soundly. Gu Changfeng gently put the young man's hand down and got up to close the window. It was pitch black outside the window, but it was not silent. In addition to the sound of rain hitting the window, there was also the chirping of insects, and the sound of cicadas in the distant mountains could be faintly heard.
The summer was coming.
Gu Changfeng took off the fork that was supporting the window. The young man on the bed turned over and subconsciously reached out to hug the body beside him, but his side was empty. After he touched back twice and still didn't get the person, he frowned...
Seeing that his eyes were about to open, Gu Changfeng hurriedly walked over and laid down on the bed. Finally finding the warm body, Shen Yanbei, who slept in a daze, grabbed the person and hugged him. The young man's warm nose sprayed on his shoulder blades, Gu Changfeng felt very peaceful in his heart. Then he closed his eyes again.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. The sun dried the moisture on the ground all at once. After Shen Yanbei got up, he went to the yard to exercise boxing. It rained last night, so the leaves of fruits and vegetables in the backyard were shiny green. Long beans hung on the shelf vigorously, tomatoes and cucumbers were washed by the rain which made them more watery, and the newly grown corn whiskers were fluttering vigorously.
"Morning Shen Dàgē!" Su Qingze brought Ming'an over for breakfast. Seeing the good-looking fruits and vegetables in the yard, he asked with interest, "When can these fruits and vegetables be picked?"
"The beans, cucumbers, and vegetables are all ready to eat. We have to wait for the tomatoes to be red, and the corn has to grow for another month." Shen Yanbei stopped and exhaled a turbid breath.
Su Qingze nodded and looked at the sky. "The weather is so good today. Why don't we go up the mountain for a walk?" He was always thinking about this when he heard Zhou Yu talk about the wildness of the mountains in the bullock cart that day.
"Okay, go after breakfast." The air on the mountain was very fresh, so it was nice to go for a walk in the mountains. The weather would be hot in the future, so there would be many mosquitoes on the mountain. At that time, they couldn't go there.
"Hmm!" Su Qingze replied, walking quickly into the house for breakfast.
Knowing that today he didn't need to practice basic skills but went to play in the mountains, Zhou Yu ran home to get a homemade bow and arrow, took a knife, and went up the mountain enthusiastically. Along the way, he happily introduced to a few people all kinds of fun in the mountains and also taught them the experience of catching birds.
The three teenagers in straw hats were chirping like happy little sparrows along the way. Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng each carried a wicker basket and slowly followed behind. In addition to tools such as machete rope and other tools, the wicker basket also contains seasonings and pots. Today’s lunch had to be settled on the mountain. Shen Yanbei thought about having a picnic, so he brought condiments and cooking utensils, and planned to get local ingredients to make a special lunch.
Not long after it rained, the mountains were full of the fragrance of soil and vegetation. Sometimes the birds were jumping between the trees. It was very lively here.
Following Zhou Yu's instruction, Su Qingze picked up a long branch and swiped the grass on the side of the road with the branch as he walked. Suddenly he heard a strange sound coming from the grass, very weak like a milky cat.
Huh, what was it? Su Qingze's eyes were puzzled. He stopped and slashed away the grass...
"Ah -" Su Qingze paled and yelled.
"What's happening?" Gu Changfeng stepped forward to protect him.
Su Qingze's eyes were full of disgust. He hurriedly hugged his sturdy and powerful arms, pointing at the grass on the side of the road. He said, "There is a snake!"
Everyone was surprised hearing his yell. Zhou Yu smiled and stepped forward then slashed the grass away. "Don't be afraid. It's just a grass snake! It's not poisonous and doesn't bite."
"It's disgusting!" Su Qingze shook the goosebumps on his body. "It's eating a frog!" That milky meow was made when the frog was dying and struggling in the snake's mouth!
Shen Yanbei couldn't laugh or cry. "It's okay, it's natural for snakes to eat frogs, just leave it alone."
Gu Changfeng patted Su Qingze on the shoulder, silently comforting. But the scene of the snake eating the frog was so shocking Su Qingze so much that he couldn't forget it for a while. He couldn't help feeling a little agitated until Zhou Yu chased a group of gray shadows with bright eyes.
"It's a pheasant!!!"
Su Qingze's depressed mood suddenly rose. He looked around. "Where is it?"
Zhou Yu took his bow and arrow from his back, drew up the arrow. "It's over there!" He walked toward the thatch pile that was half a meter high on the opposite side.
"Cuckoo..." A pheasant with gorgeous feathers suddenly flew up from the grass. Zhou Yu swiftly aimed at and released arrows. It was a pity that the arrow didn't hit, but flew over the pheasant. The pheasant fell into the grass and disappeared!
"Oh!" Zhou Yu cried out annoyedly.
Gu Changfeng said quietly, "Insufficient arm strength and have poor accuracy, more practice is needed."
"Yes!" Zhou Yu immediately corrected his attitude.
"Lend me the bow!" Su Qingze was eager to try, his eyes fixed on the thatch. "Help me get the pheasant out!"
Ming'an ran over wildly in the grass. For a moment, another gray pheasant flew up screaming.
"Shoo-" Su Qingze narrowed his eyes, loosened his hand, and shot the arrow out.
"Goo!" The pheasant screamed, waving its wings and struggling until it fell to the ground.
"Young Master is amazing!" Ming'an shouted and went to pick up the pheasant that was still fluttering on the ground.
Both Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng looked at Su Qingze in surprise. The young man smiled embarrassedly. "A-Heng taught me how to shoot arrows. His archery skills are amazing!"
"You are also very good." Shen Yanbei smiled and dragged Gu Changfeng into the forest to hunt for treasure. It was the season for pheasants to multiply, and that gray pheasants were females. He estimated that there might be a pheasant nest in the grass. Sure enough, after searching for a while, the two found two nests of wild eggs.
"A lot of eggs!" Su Qingze looked at the round wild eggs, full of joy.
"We have to try harder for our lunch today." Shen Yanbei carefully put the wild eggs into the basket. They traveled very smoothly today, and it didn't take long for them to gain something after going up the mountain.
Zhou Yu pointed to the dense pine forest on the opposite side and said, "It rained last night. There must be mushrooms in the forest. Shall we go pick some mushrooms?"
"Let's go!" Su Qingze ran over, couldn't wait. This young man was getting thinner day by day, so the pace was getting faster.
Shen Yanbei smiled and shook his head. He walked slowly with Gu Changfeng. "Wife, you'll taste my cook later!" The pheasant was quite fat, about three or four catties! Later, he would look for a few wild banana leaves to wrap the bird, buried them in the ground, then roast them. Thinking about it made he was so excited!
Gu Changfeng nodded and exhorted, "Don't be too tired." This was the first time Shen Yanbei had walked such a long way after he had recovered. Even the young man didn't look tired, he was still not at ease.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Yanbei raised an eyebrow and smiled. There were other meanings in that smile, which made Gu Changfeng's ears became red.
"Oh! This mushroom is actually red! There are some snowflakes on it, so beautiful!"
Su Qingze's exclamation came from the front, Shen Yanbei loudly reminded, "Some mushrooms are poisonous, don't touch it carelessly!"
Hearing this, the three stood obediently. Shen Yanbei took a look. A few bright red and snow-like mushrooms stood quietly among the rotten leaves, Shen Yanbei frowned and said, "This mushroom is mostly poisonous, it's best not to touch it. " This mushroom was very similar to the amanita he had seen before, but he didn't know if it was the same genus.
Su Qingze felt sorry, but several people, including Zhou Yu, couldn't determine which mushrooms were edible. Shen Yanbei said, "Forget it, go find something else. There is a lot of food in this mountain."
Suddenly Gu Changfeng waved his hand, and a stone flew out of his hand. His action was too abrupt, and several people couldn't help looking in the direction where the stone flew. They saw a big grey bird was shot in mid-air...
"Grouse!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up.
"That's amazing!" Su Qingze stared at Gu Changfeng in admiration. "Gu Dàgē, do you know martial arts?"
Gu Changfeng didn't deny it. Su Qingze realized that this was tacit consent, his eyes became even more enthusiastic. "Gu Dàgē, do you really know martial arts?"
"Do you have internal strength? Can you fly away?"
"Do you use a knife or a sword?"
...
Su Qingze, who turned into a curious baby, kept asking. Gu Changfeng answered them one by one with a good temper. While talking, a group of people walked through the pine forest to a small river.
"There are fish!" Ming'an exclaimed excitedly looking at the clear river.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he rolled up his trousers and then went into the water. "Look!"
Su Qingze stopped talking, went to the river, and stared into the water. The water surface reflected the red-faced young man, and under the water were two fishes that as big as a palm.
Zhou Yu's movements were very light, he stopped moving after entering the water. The fish in the water didn't know the danger was imminent and swam past his feet casually. Zhou Yu bent down and slowly plunged his hand into the water. When the fish passed by, he caught it suddenly, and the fish was really caught by him!
"Haha! I caught it!" Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he successfully caught the fish.
"I'll try too!" Su Qingze quickly took off his shoes and socks.
"Young Master, be careful, don't let the stone pierce your feet!" Ming'an exhorted.
"It's okay!" Su Qingze stared at the water and followed Zhou Yu's way of catching fish. Unfortunately, he didn't catch it after a few tries. The young man was not discouraged but thought of a way to surround a small pond with a stone, leaving a small gap, and then drove the fish in the direction of the small pond. This method really allowed him to catch the fish!
Shen Yanbei sat down on the rock and handed the water bag to Gu Changfeng. Gu Changfeng didn't feel that thirsty and just took a sip. Then Shen Yanbei took two sips from where Gu Changfeng was drinking. Gu Changfeng's face flushed slightly.
Looking up at the sky, it was getting late. Shen Yanbei built a simple stove next to the river with rocks and started to cook. "We will work together. Qingze and Ming'an will go pick firewood, Zhou Yu will pick a few large banana leaves, and Changfeng chops the bamboo. I will kill the chickens. Please pay attention to your safety and don’t go far! Call out if you find anything wrong! " The wild vegetables and plantains grew near the river. The bamboo forest was not far away, so it was very convenient to make a fire and cook.
"Yes!" the three teenagers replied in unison and walked away happily.
Shen Yanbei processed the fish first, when Su Qingze and Ming'an returned from picking up the dry branches, he started a fire and boiled the water. When Gu Changfeng returned from cutting the bamboo, he still carried a hare in his hand.
The breeze was blowing and the branches were swaying. The young people by the river were talking and laughing around several bonfires, each holding a branch and a fish. The soup in the pot on the stove was gurgling, and a grouse and a hare were roasted on the fire next to each other. The grouse and hare were roasted to be golden all over, and sometimes oil fell to the ground from time to time. The scent flowed with the wind. The greedy teenagers who had just eaten the fish kept bothering them by asking if it was all cooked.
Seeing that it was almost roasted well, Shen Yanbei brushed a layer of seasoning on the grouse and hare.
"Can we eat it?" Zhou Yu swallowed. Su Qingze and Ming'an also looked forward to it.
"Okay, it's time for lunch!" Shen Yanbei laughed and gave each of the teenagers and Gu Changfeng a drumstick.
Gu Changfeng handed the chicken drumsticks to Shen Yanbei. "You eat it."
Shen Yanbei did not refuse, grabbing his hand, tearing off a small piece of meat, chewing it, and saying, "It's okay."
Gu Changfeng was taken aback. Shen Yanbei had brought the chicken leg to his mouth and chuckled, "You eat it too."
"Okay." Gu Changfeng lowered his eyes and took a bite at the place where Shen Yanbei had bitten.
"It's delicious!" Zhou Yu ate the chicken wings and his mouth full of oil. Su Qingze and Ming'an were relatively gentle, but the expressions on those faces were the same as Zhou Yu.
These people ate the meat while drinking the wild vegetable soup and wild egg soup in the bamboo tube. They looked extremely satisfied.
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar resounded across the mountain. Su Qingze's hand trembled, which made the chicken bone fell to the ground.
Gu Changfeng's face changed suddenly, he hurriedly grabbed the hatchet. "Run!"
"What... what?"
The three of them didn't know what was happening but Gu Changfeng's face was solemn. Shen Yanbei's brows wrinkled, before he had time to ask, he ran away.
A huge black bear with dark hair shining brightly in the sunlight suddenly jumped from the forest to the place where a few people had just been sitting while eating meat.
"Oh my..." This black blind man wouldn't be greedy, right? He saw the black bear sniffing at a bone and then grinning. The crystal-clear saliva dripping to the ground. Zhou Yu couldn't help being dumbfounded. As soon as he finished speaking, the black bear raised his head and its gaze as sharp as a sword.
Zhou Yu shivered. The black bear stared at him straight. With the force of all its limbs, it actually started to chase him up.
"!!!" Zhou Yu's eyes widened, feeling a little soft in his legs. The black bear looked huge and bulge, but it ran extremely fast. Its four strong and powerful legs could reach several meters away!
"Zhou Yu, run!" Shen Yanbei shouted, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. The bear's speed was very fast, and people couldn't beat it at all. Since this bear had found them, he would die if he didn't run! There might be a chance of survival if he ran!
"You climb the tree! I'll get it away!" Gu Changfeng rushed to face the black bear with a machete in his hand.
"Be careful!" Shen Yanbei said with red eyes.
Gu Changfeng glanced back at him deeply, the muscles of his arms were tight for a while.
"Ah—" The black bear rushed to the front within a short time, and rushed towards him with a big terrifying mouth. Zhou Yu's pupils shrank and he yelled in fright.
Gu Changfeng arrived in time with a hatchet in his hand.
"Oh-"
After Gu Changfeng hit it, the black bear jumped as fast as thunder. It shouted, pulled up his forelimbs, and rushed toward Gu Changfeng. Gu Changfeng flashed, avoiding its sharp claws.
The black bear had thick skin and thick flesh, this hatchet couldn't give much effect to this bear.
"Young Master!" Suddenly Ming'an called out in a panic. It turned out that Su Qingze had tripped over by a stone.
The black bear grinned and roared at Gu Changfeng, then turned around to run towards Su Qingze. Ming'an hurriedly helped Su Qingze to run, but Su Qingze's ankle sprained, and couldn't walk at all. Gu Changfeng hurriedly jumped in front of the two to block the black bear. The black bear angrily raised his paws and was about to scratch him while opening his fangs to bite.
The strength of the black bear was amazing, and it was a bit difficult for Gu Changfeng to protect the two behind him.
"Attack its eyes!" Shen Yanbei shouted to Zhou Yu. "Throw your knife over!"
Zhou Yu, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly took the knife out of his leg. "Shīfu, catch it!" Then he threw the knife over.
Gu Changfeng used ten layers of force to kick the black bear's head fiercely. The black bear took a few steps back because of the pain. Gu Changfeng took this opportunity to flip backward. The knife was flying in the air. After Gu Changfeng landed, he grabbed the knife.
Shen Yanbei couldn't admire the handsome action, only felt that his heart was stuck in his throat.
The black bear stabilized his body, snarled with his head held high, suddenly exerted force, and rushed over like a cannonball. Gu Changfeng held the knife with a calm face. He stepped forward and directly met the black bear.
When the black bear's claws in front of him, Gu Changfeng tilted his head. After kicking the black bear's belly, he jumped up--
"Aw--" The sharp knife was inserted deeply into the black bear's eyes, which made the black bear roared sternly and deafeningly. Before Gu Changfeng had time to retreat, the violent black bear swept over with a frantic paw——
"Changfeng!" Shen Yanbei's voice cracked.
"Ugh!" Gu Changfeng snorted. His chest surged with blood, and blood slid down the corner of his mouth. He frowned, wiped it with his hands, and dried the blood on the corners of his mouth.
"Changfeng..." Shen Yanbei clenched his fist tightly, distressed.
The black bear was furious and pounced on Gu Changfeng again. Gu Changfeng pressed his lips tightly and attacked its injured eyes. The black bear roared again, shocking the forest.
"Asshole!" Shen Yanbei gritted his teeth and ran back to the place where he was just cooking.
"Changfeng!"
As soon as Gu Changfeng turned his head, he met the cold eyes of the young man. Shen Yanbei shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Gu Changfeng's heart tightened, and he turned sideways to avoid the black bear's bite. Shen Yanbei raised his hand, and the off-white powder in the paper bag flew away and floated directly to the black bear. The furious black bear suddenly stagnated, and his huge body trembled, and it constantly sneezing and spitting.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Changfeng picked up the hatchet and smashed it with all his strength.
"Ah--" The black bear let out a creepy hiss, swiping wildly, with extremely fierce and violent movements. Shen Yanbei didn't have time to run far, and he was about to be caught by the bear.
Yanbei! Gu Changfeng's eyes trembled, and he rushed forward, hugging him and rolling aside. It just so happened that this was a hillside, and Gu Changfeng and Shen Yanbei rolled directly down the hillside. There were a lot of weeds and rocks on the hillside. Gu Changfeng hugged the young man tightly and tried to protect him, but his head was slammed by the stone. He then passed out.
"Changfeng!!!"
