No matter how much the Jiang family likes her, they can't support her for nothing.

"You're the only one with a sharp mind."

Mu Bai rarely praised her, and Susan raised her head proudly.

"That is required."

Mu Bai rolled his eyes.

The more you praise, the more amazing it becomes.

"You keep an eye on me while I take a nap."

Mu Bai yawned, his eyes full of sleepiness.

Susan glanced at her.

"So there's no need to eat this breakfast. It's such a hassle!"

Susan gave Mu Bai a meaningful look, then turned his head and went to sleep.

Susan stared for a while until her legs became numb and the sun gradually climbed up into the sky. Susan wondered, Jiang Le was so lucky, why did her family let her sleep for so long?

Susan was thinking about it, but Jiang Le didn't do what she thought. Jiang Le steamed the food, ate some casually, and went out with the backpack on his back.

Susan grabbed Mu Bai.

"It's out, let's catch up."

Mu Bai opened his eyes, his gaze was cold and clear, without a trace of sleepiness.

"You go first, I'll slow down my legs."

Susan's legs were numb and she couldn't walk. Mu Bai frowned and spoke with disgust.

"Exit."

After Mu Bai finished speaking, he did not follow, but bent down and squatted in front of Susan.

"Come up."

A smile flashed in Susan's eyes, and she lay obediently on Mu Bai's back.

"Xiaobai, it's great to have you."

Mu Bai reached out and slapped Susan on the butt.

"You're such a jerk, lie down."

Mu Bai moved quickly and followed Jiang Le's path.

Mu Bai was hiding all the way, and he really realized that the heroine was very lucky. She was picking up things along the way, either chestnuts or mushrooms, and she didn't encounter any poisonous ones. The chestnuts were also freshly fallen, and Mu Bai was jealous.

She narrowed her eyes and watched Jiang Le's back as he walked away. She thought to herself, why not put a sack on him, tie him up and sneak him into the woods. She thought she would get a lot.

But this thought only lasted a moment. In this day and age, committing a crime would result in being shot, and she had not lived enough.

Susan was carried all the way and pulled Mu Bai to let her put her down.

"I'm going to pick up some things. You watch her and be careful."

Jiang Le didn’t pick up all the chestnuts, so she didn’t bother Jiang Le with the remaining ones. She would pick them up herself.

Mu Bai did not stop him, but just gave Susan a stick.

"Be careful yourself."

Susan reached out to take it, feeling satisfied. Xiaobai was really caring.

Susan lagged behind by a step or two and went in another direction.

Mu Bai stared at Jiang Le, and suddenly a black shadow jumped out in front of him. Mu Bai quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow.

A pheasant was shot by an arrow and nailed to a tree. Jiang Le excitedly reached out to pick it up.

Mu Bai took the lead and picked up the pheasant.

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

Mu Bai pulled out the arrow from the pheasant and put the chicken into his backpack.

The movements were smooth and flowing, without any pause. When Jiang Le reacted, there was no trace of the pheasant anywhere.

Her face looked a little dark.

"Third sister-in-law, I was the first one to see the chicken."

Mu Bai smiled at her.

"Just because you see it means it's yours? Who said that? The arrow stuck in it is mine, and I shot the chicken to death."

"Do you think a chicken will die if you look at it?"

After Mu Bai finished speaking, he ignored her and turned away.

Susan picked up her things and hurried over. When she saw the chicken in Mu Bai's backpack, her eyes lit up.

"Let's find a place to eat."

Taking it back wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in her family's stomachs, so she couldn't bear to part with it.

Mu Bai thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

She glanced in the direction of Jiang Le. With her in the woods, there was no danger.

The heroine's identity is indeed useful.

"I just heard the sound of flowing water. There should be water over there. Let's go and take a look."

Mu Bai pulled Susan and walked into the woods.

When he passed by Jiang Le, he didn't even glance at her.

Susan smiled politely and walked up quickly.

Jiang Le didn't hear what the two said, but she noticed that something was wrong with the relationship between Susan and Mu Bai.

Aren’t these two sworn enemies? Then why are they here?

Jiang Le wanted to follow, but the forest was too thick. She thought her life was more important.

Walked in another direction.

Susan walked for a while and didn't see Jiang Le, so she felt a little panicked.

"The heroine has a halo. If we leave her side, it might be dangerous."

Susan was anxious, but Mu Bai didn't care.

"You are questioning my ability."

Susan was stunned and laughed out loud. There was nothing to be afraid of with Mu Bai's abilities, unless a group of ferocious beasts came.

The two men arrived at the stream and happily killed and plucked the chicken.

Without hot water, they had to cook raw, but that didn't bother Mu Bai. After they worked together, Susan built a fire.

She found two pieces of rice dumplings leaves, sprinkled some salt and the seasonings she had picked from the mountains on the chicken, wrapped it up tightly, and covered the outside with some soil.

"Can you eat this?"

Mu Bai looked at the mud with great disgust.

"You have to believe me."

After Susan finished speaking, the chicken went into the charcoal fire. Susan hurriedly used a stick to stir the fire a few times to cover it.

"many fish."

Mu Bai suddenly shouted, and Susan almost dropped the stick in her hand. When she heard that there was a fish, her eyes lit up.

"There are so many! Why hasn't anyone caught them?"

Mu Bai sighed and Susan looked at her with a smile.

"No one dares to enter the deep mountains and old forests. Besides, this forest belongs to the collective, so no one will catch it, and no one dares to sell it."

Susan's words made Mu Bai fall into deep thought. Who could understand the feeling of seeing money slip away from her? She felt so upset.

"No, I have to get it out, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Susan agreed with Mu Bai's words, but the two of them had too little strength and tools.

"Go home and discuss it with the man, and test it out at the same time."

She also wanted to see how Gu Ye and Gu Mu conducted themselves.

When Mu Bai heard this, he understood what Susan meant and did not refute it.

The two of them squatted by the river and thought for a long time. Susan stared at the surrounding environment. She always felt that something was watching her in the woods, and she felt some hair on her back.

"Mubai, the forest is so quiet."

There wasn't even a sound of birds singing.

Mu Bai patted Susan's hand.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Seeing Mu Bai so calm, Susan felt relieved.

Mu Bai walked to the firewood pile and burned two more piles of firewood.

Susan felt that Mu Bai must have a purpose for doing this, but she didn't dare to ask.

The fire started to burn, and the feeling of being stared at disappeared instantly, and Susan breathed a sigh of relief.

As time passed, the aroma of beggar's chicken spread.

Susan swallowed and hurried to pull it out.

Mu Bai's eyes lit up.

After washing my hands, I started to pick them.

The aroma was so fragrant that everyone grabbed a chicken leg.

Sitting on the ground and chewing it with satisfaction.

Soon, only bones were left of the chicken.

Mu Bai cleaned up everything around him and even covered the ashes of burnt charcoal with grass.

"If you're here to catch fish, don't leave any evidence behind."

Susan nodded, agreeing with Mu Bai's rigor.

On the way back, Mu Bai hunted another chicken.

The two of them then walked home.
