If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Fat Tiger led the way, trotting ahead, and everyone lined up and followed closely behind him, heading north. They found that the weeds grew taller and denser as they went in. When Chen San used the sickle in his hand to push aside the bushes in front of him that were nearly a person tall, everyone's eyes lit up.

In this dense and almost airtight forest, after pushing aside the bushes in front of them, everyone saw a sparkling lake. The sun shone directly on the lake, like twinkling little stars dancing on it. Xiao Si and Xiao Qi could no longer hold back and rushed to the lake with cheers.

"Be careful!" Meixiang hurriedly shouted to stop him. Upon hearing the voice, Chen San stretched out his hand to stop him, but he only grabbed Xiaosi's left arm. Xiaoqi failed to brake and slipped and rolled nearly a meter away, stopping two or three meters away from a dark brown stone by the lake.

Xiao Qi was struggling to get up, when suddenly, Meixiang found that the stone by the lake moved slightly. She thought it was the reaction of the lake that dazzled her, so she rubbed her eyes hurriedly and looked again. The side of the stone on her side moved again.

Meixiang opened her mouth in shock. While signaling everyone to step back, she put her right index finger on her mouth to make a silencing gesture and whispered to comfort Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi, be good, lie there and don't move. Don't move."

When Xiao Qi saw everyone's reactions, he got so anxious that his eyes turned red, but he bit his lips tightly and lay there, not daring to move.

After everyone retreated to a safe distance, Meixiang weighed the options between Xiaoqi and the "stone", rapidly thinking of a solution.

Chen San and Mei Ying were confused by Mei Xiang's sudden action and both looked at her in confusion.

"Look carefully at the stone lying on its side on the lake in front of Xiaoqi. What's different?" Meixiang knew that if she didn't explain it clearly, she alone would not be able to rescue Xiaoqi safely today.

Chen San and Mei Ying followed Mei Xiang's gaze and looked at the stone. Apart from the fact that it was a little big and the surface was a little rough, neither of them noticed anything different about it.

"Master, big brother, look, that stone seems to be moving." The waiter who had been standing next to them for some time was the first to notice the abnormality. In order to increase everyone's physical fitness and martial arts value, Chen San had a new task since three days ago - to be everyone's martial arts master.

Chen San and Mei Ying looked at each other, used their eyesight to take a closer look, and were immediately shocked. The "stone" really moved by itself: "Miss?"

"The scientific name of that thing is crocodile," Mei Xiang glanced at the place where Chen Er was hiding, and raised her voice as much as possible: "It can run on land and swim in water. Its running speed on land is not worse than that of humans. Mei Ying will take Fat Tiger to the other side of the lake to attract its attention. Chen San will take Xiao Qi back as quickly as possible. I will take the others to deal with the situation according to the situation. Personal safety is the most important thing. What do you think? Do you have anything to add?"

Everyone nodded and shook their heads. Meixiang then reminded them, "Everyone, take your long weapons. If you accidentally come face to face with it and can't run away, poke its eyes hard. That's its weak point."

Meiying bent down and took Fat Tiger into the bushes. Chen Er quietly fell up. At the same time, Chen San pulled out the soft sword wrapped around his waist and watched the movements on the other side of the lake intently.

Just as Meiying and Fat Tiger were about to reach the opposite side of the lake, a group of black-haired and black-skinned wild chickens came to the lake in groups, clucking, and jumped into the water with a "splash", playing freely in the water.

At this time, the stone lying on the shore slowly raised its head, turned its head and looked around, stretched its limbs, dived into the water, and swam to the other side.

Chen San seized the opportunity and flew forward to hug Xiao Qi back. Xiao San took Xiao Qi, whose face turned pale with fear and whose whole body was trembling slightly, and let her lean on his arms, gently stroking her back to comfort her.

The crocodiles on the opposite side had already launched an attack on the black chickens, and the lake surface suddenly became lively. The black chickens that were attacked flapped their wings and fled to the shore. Meixiang signaled Chen San to take Xiaoer, Xiaowu and others to the opposite side to help Meiying fish in troubled waters and see if they could take the opportunity to catch a few chickens for everyone's evening meal. It would be best if they could exchange some food.

"Miss, come and see Xiaoqi." Xiaosan looked at Xiaoqi with his eyes wide open in his arms and called Meixiang worriedly.

Meixiang looked at the opposite side and twisted Xiaoqi's thigh hard. Xiaoqi came back to his senses due to the sudden pain in his leg. He saw his third sister hugging him and burst into tears.

"It's okay if she cries it out. When you go back today, remember to ask Madam to make her a bowl of soothing soup before she goes to bed."

"Yeah, Xiaoqi is still too young. I will never let her go out with you again." Xiaosan looked at the opposite side and then at Xiaoqi in his arms and said with a feeling of heartache and annoyance.

The battle on the lake was coming to an end. The full crocodiles slowly dived into the water, and soon the lake returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened, if one ignored the chicken feathers floating on the water and the faint smell of blood in the air.

"There's a smell of blood, that's not good. Xiaosan, quickly pack up your things, Xiaosi, quickly go across and tell everyone to come back and gather. We have to leave here quickly." Meixiang ordered hurriedly.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Si spread his legs and dived into the bushes, running towards the other side.

Chen San and his men came back quickly. They picked up their belongings and rushed towards the periphery, rolling and crawling.

After everyone had moved away from the lake and arrived at the place where the Yanling grass was, they slowly stopped to rest for a while and sort out the spoils.

The harvest was good overall. With the help of Chen Er, 18 black chickens were harvested. Two traps were set not far from the lake. In addition to the herbs she dug on the way, Meixiang also saw rare frozen green and dragon blood trees on the east side of the lake, which are good materials for dyeing cloth. However, she was far away and had a tight schedule this time, so she didn't see it too carefully. It seems that she still needs to find a chance to confirm it.

The most gratifying thing is that this time, except for Xiaoqi who was frightened and the others who had some minor scratches, no other injuries were suffered.

Meixiang was so happy that she hugged Fat Tiger and praised him non-stop: "Thanks to our Fat Tiger this time, I will give you an extra chicken drumstick tonight."

"Woooo..."

"Hahaha... let's go, I'll give you chicken legs tonight when we get home!"

Today's harvest diluted the shock brought by the crocodile, and everyone returned home happily with a full load.

"Has that family in the south of the village gone crazy? How can they support so many people all at once?"

"It's hard to say. Don't you think that family is very evil?"

As they watched Meixiang and the others walk past, two thieves from the village were whispering to each other behind them.
