The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

The sky was clear and the sun was shining for several days in a row. The harvested grains of the Su family were quickly dried and stored in the warehouse. This period was the busy farming season, and the children needed to stay at home to help with the work. According to tradition, every year at this time, Su Zheng would give the children a half-month holiday.

After the previous batch of rice was harvested, the next crop should have been sown. However, the location of the Su family's fields was not ideal and was far from a water source. If they still chose to plant rice in the second half of the year, they might not have to worry about the harvest in a good year; but if they encountered a drought, they would probably face the dilemma of having no harvest at all. In view of this, the Su family would switch to planting some crops that require relatively less water, such as peanuts, beans, and corn, every autumn. This gave the two brothers a few rare days of leisure time.

On this day, at dawn, Su Zheng could not wait to prepare the things needed for today's hunting in the mountains. He was skilled and quick, and in the blink of an eye, he neatly placed several sturdy and durable ropes and several thick and hard plywood aside for use; then, he carefully picked up a well-made bow and arrow, and after carefully checking whether the arrowhead was extremely sharp, he put it in his bag with satisfaction; finally, he carried the bamboo basket filled with various necessities on his back, and everything was ready, just waiting to set off.

At this time, Su Lun, who had been silently watching his brother's actions, finally couldn't hold back his inner impulse. He walked quickly to Su Zheng and said with a firm and expectant look, "Brother, I want to go with you too!" Su Zheng looked at his brother's eager expression, thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. After all, he couldn't go deep into the forest in his current condition. He could only explore the periphery to see if he could find some small animals or delicious wild fruits. The danger was relatively low. Moreover, after this period of persistent exercise, Su Lun's physical condition had improved significantly. Even if he carried heavy objects, he was no longer as easily exhausted and out of breath as before.

Hearing his brother's words of agreement, Su Lun was very excited and immediately took the heavy backpack and carried it on his back. These days, he has been working hard to exercise every day. Although he still has a long way to go before he can recover to the strength of his previous life, he has indeed made significant progress compared to the past. Now he can easily handle such physical labor without feeling any effort.

After the two brothers arrived at the foot of the mountain where small animals often appeared, they began to set up simple traps with splints and ropes. Su Zhengze searched around, hoping to find some wild fruits or mushrooms. However, the reality was cruel. After all, this was a place where people often stepped on. Even if there were these things before, they would have been picked up by others first!

Looking at his injured leg, Su Zheng could not help but feel frustrated. In such a miserable state, it would be very dangerous to go deeper into the forest. Since he could not find food to eat, it would be better to just chop some firewood and bring it home than to go back empty-handed. Thinking of this, he immediately took action and found a place with dense bushes nearby to start chopping wood.

At the same time, Su Lun on the other side was full of desire and anticipation for going up the mountain to hunt. He skillfully carried the bow and arrow, then turned to face Su Zheng and said, "Brother, I plan to go up the mountain to have a look..."

My brother was like a blank sheet of paper before, knowing nothing about mountain climbing and hunting. Su Zheng wanted to refuse, but when he stared into his brother's clear eyes, the words of refusal were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. Forget it, if I embark on the road of military service in the future, Allen will eventually need to learn to live alone. Su Zheng thought to himself. "Then go, but be sure to pay attention to safety..."

Su Lun, carrying a bow and arrow, strode towards the mountain with light and agile steps. He could hardly suppress his excitement and anticipation, after all, he was full of endless curiosity about hunting. In modern society, hunting has long been banned and has become an illegal act, but being in this alien world now gave him the opportunity to personally experience this ancient and exciting activity.

Fortunately, the original owner had learned archery skills when he was young, so Su Lun was not worried about not being able to use the bow and arrow skillfully. As he walked along the mountain road, he keenly searched for possible traces of prey around him.

Suddenly, Su Lun sensed a slight noise behind him. His heart tightened, he stopped and turned back cautiously. He saw a colorful pheasant quietly appearing in his sight. Su Lun was overjoyed and quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the pheasant.

However, with a "swish" sound, the arrow did not hit the pheasant as expected, but landed gloriously on the ground only one meter away from it! The frightened pheasant immediately flapped its wings and flew high, quickly escaping into the forest, raising a cloud of flying dust.

Faced with this sudden change, Su Lun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and disappointed. He had been looking forward to gaining something, but he didn't expect to fail.

Su Lun looked carefully and saw only a bare arrow lying on the ground, as if mocking him, and the pheasant that should have been shot dead had long disappeared. He couldn't help but pat his head, feeling extremely regretful.

Although the original owner had learned archery before, it did not mean that he was a master of it. For Su Lun himself, it was the first time in his two lives that he had come into contact with this kind of weapon. He could not help but wonder: Where did he get the confidence to think that he could hit the target with one arrow?

So Su Lun bent down to pick up the arrow on the ground, then cast his eyes on the stone beside him and tried to imitate the action in his memory to practice shooting. Unfortunately, every time he shot an arrow, it missed the target, without exception!

"Alas... it seems that the prey we have got is not so easy to catch!" Su Lun sighed softly. Then, he put away his bow and arrow, thinking that maybe he could try to find some other sources of food. Fortunately, not long after walking, he found a tree not far away that was full of fruits.

It was a kiwi fruit, which was called a rattan pear in this world. It tasted a bit sour, no wonder no one liked it. However, Su Lun, who came from modern society, knew very well that as long as the kiwi fruit was left for a while, it would become extremely sweet and delicious when it was ripe, and it was also rich in various nutrients. Thinking of this, Su Lun immediately picked up most of the basket.

Seeing that he had been on the mountain for a long time, Su Lun began to worry about Su Zheng who was waiting at home, so he packed up his things and hurried down the mountain. When he finally returned to where Su Zheng was, he was surprised to find a gray little rabbit squatting in the empty trap!

At the same time, Su Zheng also noticed the kiwis in the bamboo basket behind Su Lun, and couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Alan, why did you pick so many kiwis? These fruits are sour and astringent, not delicious at all..."

"Brother! You may not understand, but this fruit does not taste good when it is not fully ripe. It tastes sour and astringent, but once it becomes soft, it is quite sweet and delicious! Although this fruit does not look very good, it is actually rich in various nutrients. Eating more of it is very good for the body!" Su Lun explained enthusiastically.

"Haha, you know so much, brother! It seems that I am too ignorant. Since you like it so much, Alan, that's great." Su Zheng replied with a smile.

After some hard work, the two brothers returned home with a full load. As soon as they got home, Su Zheng started to prepare the captured gray hare. Su Lun volunteered to take on the task of cooking. Considering that his brother's leg injury had not yet fully healed and was not suitable for eating spicy food, Su Lun carefully cooked a delicious rabbit stew.

Since the family had not tasted meat for a long time, the tempting aroma filled the kitchen, making people salivate and increase their appetite. The two brothers finished the most sumptuous lunch in these days.
