Bengtie: Is your pure and beautiful destiny serious?

There is an old saying in Cheng An’s hometown, “The mountain road has eighteen bends.” This saying is true to me. Even in another world, this saying is surprisingly accurate.

This mountain is not a developed mountain where people have built roads. Instead, it is a wild mountain where the roads are made entirely by the footprints left by people.

The mountain was full of plants she didn't recognize, and it was densely covered with tall trees, making the whole mountain look dark green from a distance. It was full of vitality and contained countless mysteries.

But fortunately, the slope of the mountain was not very steep, so at least their horses could still carry the people and equipment and continue to move forward.

When Cheng An once again slapped away the unknown insect that had landed on her shoulder, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Seriously, are you going to give us some unprecedented surprise that will never be seen again?"

"What kind of wonders are worth crossing mountains and rivers so early in the morning?"

She was a little curious and wanted to ask Potio for some information first.

But the leading cowboy kept his mouth shut and looked mysterious. He stretched out a finger and waved it at her, making a "no no no" sound, telling them that they would know when they got there.

Dan Heng and Cheng An followed him without knowing anything. Now they can't even quench their thirst by looking at the plums. They can only look at each other helplessly, then pat each other on the shoulders and cheer each other on silently.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, but because of the dense woods nearby, the sun shone through the shadows between the leaves, casting shadows on the ground. When the wind blew, bright spots of light flashed.

The three of them took a short break at a mountain stream and had lunch.

After a whole morning of bumpy ride and not having eaten much in the morning, the group was already hungry as expected.

And Botio said that he wanted to show them the professional cowboys' ability to survive in the wild, so he took Danheng and Cheng An to the river to catch fish.

They rolled up their trouser legs and stepped into the clear water, which was only up to their knees.

This was a very new thing for both Cheng An and Dan Heng. Cheng An had been warned by her parents and teachers not to go into the river to catch fish since she was a child, so in order to avoid being nagged, she seldom went into the river until she became an adult.

I came here a few years after I became an adult. The absurdity of it all adds to my new life experience.

As for Dan Heng, I won’t mention him anymore. Talking too much about the past will only bring tears.

The two men, who had never caught a fish, stood in the water and watched the cowboy thrust a sharpened wooden stick into the water quickly and accurately. When he lifted it up, there was a large fish on it.

The fish's tail thrashed and splashed water all over the butcher, and a few drops of water slid down the cowboy's smug face. He even raised his chin towards the two men, showing off in an obvious way.

The man looks damn young and energetic at this moment!

The two ignorant people applauded politely.

"Look, it's very simple. There are plenty of fish in this river. As long as we can catch them, we don't have to worry about lunch." Potio pointed to the water, indicating that this would be the main course for the two of them at noon.

"Did you understand what you just saw? Do you want to try it too?" He was very caring towards the two novices and handed a sharpened stick to Cheng An.

She took the tool and looked at the rippling water. There were indeed a lot of fish. But, let's take a step back, do you have to use a fork to catch these fish?

She had a brilliant idea.

The girl waded a few steps away from the two boys, walked downstream for a distance, and then swung the stick in her hand. Red flames burned downwards from where she held it.

She inserted the stick into the water, and the red fire burned along the place where it met the water surface, and then spread outward along the water surface.

The fire formed by magic burned on the water.

It was a pleasant surprise for Cheng An that the idea that he came up with on impulse actually worked.

The flame did not touch the water surface, but burned a short distance above it. Cheng An moved her mind and controlled the temperature of the flame. Soon, steam rose from the large area of water covered by the flame.

Not long after, the fish that flowed there felt the sudden rise in water temperature and jumped out of the water due to the scalding.

But when they jumped out of the water, there was a scorching fire above them, and the temperature was even higher. So within a few seconds of the temperature rising, at least four fish were cooked medium-rare after this leap of faith.

She immediately put out the fire.

The girl, who had achieved great success, looked up at the two people who were observing her actions not far away.

The cowboy's eyes were filled with shock. It turned out that people with magic lived like this. It was really weird.

Dan Heng, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. He was already used to his friend's strange behavior, so he was not surprised at all to see this man trying to collect the juice in a big way. He even gave a thumbs up to the man who was begging for praise.

He turned around and patted the cowboy's shoulder, indicating that one just gets used to it. Cheng An is just that kind of person, with incredible imagination and luck, one really just gets used to it.

Then he also stretched out his hand, pointed his fingers upwards, and with a strike of the sword, the waves and the fish rushed to the shore at once.

Dan Heng raised the corners of his eyes slightly and gave the silent cowboy a faint smile.

"Looks like we can have a full lunch."

He even chuckled. It wasn't often that he saw the usually confident cowboy speechless, and today he was lucky enough to see it twice.

"Brother Danheng, are you such a person?" Potio shifted his gaze from the shore back to the young man in front of him, his tone revealing a hint of hesitation.

"Hmm? Isn't that what I always do?"

He blinked his beautiful eyes, as if he really didn't know that he had done something to hurt others. It's hard to say whether it's because he has been playing with Cheng An for too long, and he has become more corrupted by the company of others.

Teacher Danheng just wanted to catch fish for his friend. What bad intentions could Xiao Qinglong have?

Seeing this, Potio was stunned for a second, then he laughed in relief. He laughed and shook his head, "Hahaha, that's right, you have always been like this. You look like nothing, but you are actually very interesting."

He really found it very funny. When he first met these two people, he felt that they were two-faced. They seemed so easy to talk to on the surface, but in the end they were as ruthless as they could be. It was simply a performance to confuse their opponents.

Later he felt that this duplicity was to cover up their true purpose and identity. They revealed their character and personality outwardly, but hid the caution that protected themselves, which was a sign of distrust.

But now, he felt that these two guys were really interesting. Showing their inconsistency might be a sign of their trust in each other. Just like the Danheng brothers.

When you see a person in different ways, you have a richer understanding of that person.

This also means that they were actually frank with him from the beginning, and the two outsiders never concealed their attitudes. Letting the cowboys realize their inconsistency may be an expression of their own entanglement.

Otherwise, why don't they pretend to be perfect? Or keep silent about their own affairs.

What a pair of lively, interesting and sincere friends, he thought to himself, feeling very happy.

Dan Heng and Cheng An, who came over with the fish, looked at Potio with emotion, and they were puzzled by the look on his face like an old father.

Not my friend, what do you know? She wondered silently in her heart.
