Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

When I got home, my aunt had already prepared dinner.

Today I had tomato and egg noodles.

Chu Tian took the noodles, and a rich aroma of tomato and egg wafted into his nose.

There were two golden poached eggs in the bowl, with green chopped green onions next to them.

Paired with the red tomato stew, it greatly increases your appetite.

Chu Tian ate a whole bowl of rice in one breath, even drank up all the soup, then touched his stomach and burped in satisfaction.

"Auntie, your cooking skills are really amazing!"

Chu Tian gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

His aunt was so pleased with his praise that she smiled happily, "If it's delicious, eat more. There's more in the pot."

After eating and drinking, Chu Tian went back to his room and had a good nap.

When I woke up, the sun was already setting.

He stretched, picked up his bag and the Japanese's gun, and walked out towards Ergouzi's house.

……

Ergouzi had apparently woken up from his nap and was sitting in the yard, picking his teeth and humming a tuneless little tune.

Seeing Chu Tian coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him warmly.

"Brother Tian, ​​you're here! Let's go up the mountain now!"

……

It is called a shortcut, but in fact it is just a small path that can barely be called a road.

The weeds, more than one meter tall, grew extremely densely, almost covering the entire road.

Chu Tian and Er Gouzi could only bend their waists, use their hands to push away the weeds in front of them, and move forward with difficulty.

"Er Gouzi, this road is too difficult to walk on, can't you just take the main road?"

"Hey, Brother Tian, ​​you may not know this. Although this path is a little difficult to walk on, it is close and can save a lot of time!"

……

After walking for about half an hour, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

A relatively flat hillside appeared before our eyes.

Not far away, a lush mountain stands tall, with clouds and mist shrouding the top of the mountain, as if covered with a mysterious veil.

"Is this Qingyun Mountain?"

Chu Tian raised his head and looked at the mountain in front of him, and a feeling of awe inexplicably rose in his heart.

"Yes, it's right here!"

As Er Gouzi spoke, he used the hatchet in his hand to cut off several branches that were blocking the way.

"Let's hurry up and try to catch a few more pheasants before dark!"

"Pheasant? Your pursuit is too low."

Er Gouzi chuckled and scratched his head, "Yeah, Brother Tian, ​​you're a sharpshooter, so hunting pheasants shouldn't be a piece of cake, you must go for something big!"

The two men pushed aside the weeds that were more than one meter tall and walked along the rugged path deep into the forest.

The further you go in, the darker the light becomes, and the surrounding trees become taller and thicker, with branches and leaves intertwined, blocking out the sun.

"Brother Tian, ​​look!"

"This... this looks like the feces of a blind bear! It's so big, it must be right!"

Chu Tian looked in the direction of Ergouzi's finger and saw a pile of black feces on the ground.

It also emits a strong fishy smell that makes people cover their noses.

It looks like I'll really run into a big guy this time!

"Brother Tian, ​​how is it? I didn't lie to you, there are plenty of prey in this mountain!"

"Er Gouzi is still awesome!"

"That is required!"

After a while, Er Gouzi suddenly pointed to a tree not far away and shouted excitedly: "So many wild fruits!"

Chu Tian looked up and saw that the tree was full of red fruits.

Each one is round and sparkles with an attractive luster in the sun.

"Don't eat anything carelessly, it may be poisonous!"

Before Chu Tian could stop him, Er Gouzi had already picked one impatiently.

He rubbed it on his clothes and took a bite.

"Yeah! Delicious!"

"Brother Tian, ​​this fruit is so sweet, come and try one too!"

As he spoke, he picked another one and handed it to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian originally wanted to say that wild fruits in the mountains should not be eaten randomly, what if they are poisonous.

But looking at Ergouzi's heartless look, he swallowed his words back.

This kid grew up in the mountains and has eaten all kinds of wild fruits, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Er Gouzi, do you know what kind of fruit this is?"

Er Gouzi was stunned for a moment, looked carefully at the fruit in his hand, and shook his head.

"I don't know, but I've eaten wild fruits in the mountains and nothing has ever happened to me. Brother Tian, ​​just eat them without worry!"

Chu Tian took a bite. Hmm, it was sour and sweet, very juicy, and tasted pretty good.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the monkey he caught last time.

These wild fruits taste good, so why not pick some for it to try?

Taking advantage of the time when Ergouzi was walking forward, Chu Tian quietly picked several red fruits and threw them into the space.

……

In the space, his pet monkey was sitting on a stone combing its hair out of boredom.

There was a "bang" sound.

A few red fruits fell from the sky and hit it on the head.

The monkey covered his head and cried out twice in dissatisfaction.

Looking down, I saw a few red fruits rolling on the ground.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. He grabbed the fruit, peeled it and put it into his mouth.

While eating, he made a satisfied 'squeak' sound.

Chu Tian looked at the monkey's enjoying expression and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you laughing at?"

Er Gouzi looked at Chu Tian and asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, let's keep going and try to find the blind bear as soon as possible!"

The two continued walking forward, passing through a dense bush.

There was an open valley before my eyes.

Just as Ergouzi said, there was indeed a pool of water hidden in the valley.

It is called a pond, but in fact it is more like a larger puddle of water.

It is oval in shape and covers an area of ​​about ten square meters.

"How about it, Brother Tian, ​​isn't this place nice? I found it when I was wandering in the mountains before, and we're the only ones who know about it!"

Er Gouzi looked very proud, as if he was presenting a treasure.

Chu Tian smiled and nodded, reaching his hand into the water and splashing it a few times.

The water in the pond was icy cold, and the sticky feeling from the wild fruits I had just eaten dissipated a lot at once.

Looking down, I saw several fish swimming leisurely.

Although they are not as big as the fish in his space, they are still quite plump when growing in this pristine place.

"There's also fish! We can grill it tonight!"

Seeing this, Ergouzi sat down on the ground without thinking and started taking off his shoes.

"No rush, we'll catch them when we get back."

"I know, I'm just washing my feet! I've been walking for quite a while, my feet are almost on fire!"

As Er Gouzi spoke, he had already put his stinky pair of feet into the clear water.

Chu Tian was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"This pond is so small, how can you catch fish after washing your feet? Besides, it won't be too late to wash them when you get back!"

"I can't wait, Brother Tian, ​​haha."

As he spoke, Er Gouzi moved his toes comfortably in the water.

Chu Tian shook his head helplessly. This guy is really careless.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at Ergouzi's feet, which were a little rough due to being worn by the mountain road.

It seems that this boy has suffered a lot for his life.

However, the next second, Chu Tian frowned.

The originally crystal clear water suddenly turned dark the moment Ergouzi’s feet entered the pond.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, it quickly turned gray!!!

Chu Tian pointed at the gray-black water and said, "Er Gouzi, tell me the truth. When was the last time you washed your feet?"

Er Gouzi was stunned for a moment, looked down at his feet, then looked at the pool of water, and scratched his head innocently.

"It seems...it happened last month, right?"
