My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 141 Chance Encounter
At the foot of Xiaotangshan Mountain, the Fenxi River winds around the mountain.

Despite having "stream" in its name, Fenxi is actually a wide river, more than ten meters wide.

The Fenxi River flows slowly and is crystal clear, formed by the convergence of mountain springs. The fish in the river there have firm, exceptionally delicious flesh.

As dusk fell, the setting sun hung in the sky, and the clouds were ablaze with fiery red light.

Near a bend in the Fenxi River, a barely visible wisp of smoke rose.

Chen Mu sat on a low bamboo stool, studying a medical book.

In front of him was a large, irregularly shaped stone, about the size of a millstone, with a rectangular groove carved out in the middle.

The groove is covered with an iron mesh. A gentle breeze blows across the river, and the charcoal inside glitters with a scarlet light. Wisps of blue smoke emerge from the mesh and drift into the sky.

"That's about it." Chen Mu turned to look at the river bend not far away.

Countless river fish with white bellies floated on the surface of the water. They would occasionally thrash about, like drunkards.

The next moment, billowing black smoke rose, and the river fish vanished instantly.

Inside the Five Ghosts Bag, the feeding shaft was immediately half full.

Chen Mu carefully selected eight river fish with black backs and white lines.

This river fish is a specialty of Fenxi and is called silver thread fish. It is also commonly known as Wuli whitefish. It has few bones, tender meat, and an extremely delicious taste.

All the other river fish were fed to the Five Ghost Bag.

The next moment, two plumes of black smoke appeared, one above the other, floating in front of them.

Chen Mu reached out and grabbed a silverfish, which fell into his left palm.

A flash of dark light appeared on his right hand and disappeared.

Hidden dagger!
laugh!
The shimmering fish scales fell in a flurry, disappearing into the black smoke below.

The dark light flashed again.

Snapped!
A clump of bright red entrails fell into the black smoke, following closely behind the fish scales.

Black smoke billowed from the river not far away, and fish scales and entrails fell into the water with a splash and drifted away.

Immediately afterwards, clear river water poured down from the black smoke above, washing over the silverfish and falling into the black smoke below, carrying with it blood.

In less than twenty breaths, a silverfish was cleaned up, but the ground was not polluted at all.

Chen Mu followed the same method, and the eight silverfish were quickly processed.

"Use the Five Ghosts Bag this way to truly feel happy," Chen Mu said with a smug smile.

Following the Wuguidai brand sweeping robot, range hood, and dishwasher.

Chen Mu also developed tap water and kitchen waste bins.

"Five ghosts move mountains to eat people, and people raise medicine to sacrifice to wandering spirits?"

"Tsk tsk... Look at these local natives."

"Too much hostility!"

"Good people like me who are passionate about life are rare!"

……

blah blah blah...

White smoke rises carrying the aroma of meat, and when honey-glazed grilled fish seasoning is sprinkled on, the fragrance suddenly spreads.

"Began to eat!"

The tender, slightly salty fish meat makes your mouth water instantly.

"I'm satisfied!" Chen Mu squinted his eyes, looking completely content.

His third-level cooking skills, after half a month, certainly did not disappoint him.

Having escaped the ordeal of the iron rings and successfully infiltrated the labor camp, his daily life was routine and monotonous.

Washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, eating lunch;

Washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, eating dinner.

day after day.

Chen Mu adapted quickly.

As long as it doesn't affect his progress in leveling up, he can easily get by all day doing whatever he wants.

"It's just Uncle Qi's cooking, sigh..." Chen Mu sighed.

The food provided to the laborers was simply: enough to fill them up.

As for the taste... well, I can only say it has some flavor.

Chen Mu couldn't take it anymore after seven days: "We need special treatment! We absolutely need special treatment!"

"It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality," Chen Mu sighed. His palate had become too picky thanks to his third-tier culinary skills.

He spent three days preparing for this grilled fish meal.

The wire mesh, charcoal, stone oven, and even the location we are currently in have all been carefully selected.

Heading east would take us too far from our base to return in time.

Heading west would be too close to the base and make us easy targets.

Chen Mu smiled smugly: "This place is neither too far nor too near, just right!"

He looked around and saw only lush green forests.

Only from the northwest, through the gaps in the trees, can one vaguely see gray and white tents.

With the help of a small paper figure floating in the woods, he could promptly detect any major disturbances at the base.

If someone comes along, they'll notice immediately. "It's really not easy to earn a bite to eat like this," Chen Mu remarked.

"That's the bad thing about military camps; you have to follow the rules for everything."

"You can't run around. Even special treatment can only be done secretly."

"Luckily, we found this hidden gem!" Chen Mu smiled smugly. "We're safe now!"

"Hey buddy, could you give us two fish?"

"Give me money."

A clear, crisp voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Chen Mu: “…”

Why the hell am I so unlucky?!

He wished he could slap himself twice.

You can't plant the flag!

Chen Mu turned around stiffly, and what came into view was a towering figure that was two meters tall.

The opponent was dressed in a black outfit, with prominent, bulging muscles in his arms, some of which were as thick as an average person's thigh!
The moment Chen Mu saw the other woman's heroic face, he was certain that she was a tough woman who was even tougher than a man.

"Cui Cui?!" Chen Mu was completely taken aback.

Miss Bai's maid?
The companions who came to Nanyang Prefecture after leaving Qingshan County?
Only then did he notice that next to the other person stood a girl who should have been conspicuous, yet was not.

The other person was dressed in a bright green, half-sleeved ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), petite and exquisite; she was none other than Bai Miaojin, the young lady from the Bai family.

Unlike his previous polite and composed demeanor, the other person now had a smile in his eyes, full of mischievousness.

How did these two end up at the Tangshan military camp?

Without time to think, Chen Mu immediately put on a panicked expression as if he had been caught red-handed, trembling and afraid to speak.

"Brother, don't be afraid, we're not from the Tangshan army." Bai Miaojin said with a teasing look, "Gotcha!" and asked with a grin, "Could you sell us two fish?"

Chen Mu clenched his muscles, making his face flush red, then his eyes darted around, looking like a country boy seeing a beautiful girl for the first time: "No... I don't want any money."

"Hehe..." A crisp laugh immediately echoed at the edge of the woods.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Mu cleaned up the mess, picked up the bamboo stool, iron net, wooden chopsticks, and wooden plate, and ran away.

"Sun Dawang, the cook of Dingyou Battalion, don't forget to come and grill fish tomorrow!"

A crisp sound rang out behind him, and Chen Mu ran even faster.

"Hehe..." Silvery laughter filled the woods once again.

Chen Mu's face darkened, and he felt extremely frustrated.

I just wanted to cook a little something extra.

We've already hidden here so carefully, how did we still get discovered?

It's fine that I was discovered, but why the hell did they keep bothering me?!
After leaving the woods, Chen Mu retrieved the paper doll.

"It's careless!"

He was so focused on the direction of the camp that he forgot about the direction of Tangshan.

Bai Miaojin and Cuicui came down from the mountain.

"These two seem to be quite formidable as well," Chen Mu said, narrowing his eyes.

He trained his body seven times, resulting in extraordinary physical abilities and extremely keen senses.

He only noticed the two figures when they spoke, which showed their strength.

At the very least, his movement skills are extremely powerful.

The thought of the maid Cui Cui's robust physique made Chen Mu's heart skip a beat.

With such a strong physique, how can he move so well? Isn't he just like a giant iron ball moving at an extremely high speed?
Even a slight touch could be enough to kill someone!
"Trouble!"

Should I run? That was the first thought that popped into Chen Mu's mind.

He immediately shook his head: "It's impossible to run away."

Having barely escaped the ordeal of the iron rings, they successfully infiltrated the Tangshan army.

They haven't even gone north with the army yet, how can they run away?

"Oh well, it's just another freeloader."

This isn't the first time he's been freeloaded.

……

"Cui Cui, is there anything special about him?" The two-meter-tall, muscular figure asked in a neutral voice that was hard to distinguish between male and female.

“He’s not annoying,” the petite girl said with a smile.

The imposing figure frowned slightly: "He's wearing iron rings."

The petite and charming girl still smiled and said, "He's not annoying."

The imposing figure turned his head indifferently and looked at the stumbling figure fleeing into the woods, as if he were just a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

"Hmph! Pretending to be weak to fool others, what a convincing act!"

"Fun, isn't it? Hehe..."

Chapter Two is too late, friends, don't wait up, go to sleep.
