Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

Chen Yuan was shocked. He didn't know where this group of people came from, but judging from their accents, they didn't sound like locals.

Hu Zi also heard the noise, and hurried to the cave entrance, looking at Chen Yuan nervously.

Chen Yuan frowned and lowered his voice, "Huzi, go put out the fire. I'll block the entrance to the cave."

The two did not dare to delay and quickly split up to pretend that there was no one in the cave.

After a while, Chen Yuan heard the group of people getting closer and closer.

"Lao Liu, where are we going to rest tonight? We've been walking for so long, it's getting dark, and we're all hungry."

"The forest is so big, I don't know where to find that grass."

"If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the village and asked someone to lead the way. Now we are like headless flies, bumping around everywhere and can only take our chances."

"The mountain is so big, we won't get lost, right?"

"Bah! Shut up your crow mouth!"

"..."

Through the conversation between several people, Chen Yuan could tell that there were at least five people in this group.

He also got a key piece of information: this group of people came up the mountain to look for a kind of "grass".

But the back mountain is so big that Chen Yuan doesn’t know what kind of grass this group of people want.

After a while, there was no sound outside. Chen Yuan then looked through the gap in the cave and observed for a long time in the moonlight. After making sure that there was no one there, he took some wood and lit the fire again.

"Brother Yuan, what do you think we should do if we run into that group of people outside?"

"Will they fight us?"

Hu Zi was a little worried. He and Chen Yuan had never met anyone when they went up the mountain before, let alone the fact that the people they met today were all strangers.

However, Chen Yuan felt that this group of people did not seem to be bad people. They all spoke Mandarin and seemed to be from Kyoto.

"The back mountain is so vast, we might not run into each other. Even if we do, we won't resort to violence if there's no conflict of interest."

After that, Chen Yuan pointed to the hunting rifle slung over his shoulder and said, "We have weapons too. We just need to be vigilant. Don't worry too much."

Hu Zi nodded gently and replied, "Then let's stick to the old rules. After dinner, you guard the first half of the night and I'll guard the second half."

……

I don’t know if it was due to psychological effects or because he wasn’t sleepy, but Hu Zi didn’t sleep well in the first half of the night. He was half asleep and half awake, tossing and turning.

By the time I changed shifts, I felt so dizzy that I almost fell down.

"Can you please? If not, can you sleep a little longer?"

When Chen Yuan saw Hu Zi like this, he always felt that something was wrong. He had been closing his eyes to rest and could hold on for a while longer.

Hu Zi took a big gulp of water and became much more sober.

"No need. I'll just get some fresh air at the door and be fine in a moment. Brother Yuan, go to sleep quickly."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan didn't bother to be polite with Hu Zi and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan opened his eyes drowsily, and it was already dawn outside.

Hu Zi heard the noise and opened his eyes.

"Brother Yuan, you're awake."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, picked up the kettle and took a sip of water.

"It rained yesterday, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk on. Let's eat and set off early today."

Hu Zi let out an "Ah", got up, took out steamed buns and smoked pork from his bag, put them on the dying fire, and toasted them again.

The two of them took a quick bite and continued heading into the mountains.

Near noon, the two encountered a roe deer, which ran away from them when it saw them coming.

Hu Zi wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and he said confidently, "No need to chase it. If we take two more steps forward, it will turn around to see what we are doing."

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, Hu Zi saw that the roe deer, which had been running forward just now, suddenly stopped and looked back at them. After a while, it boldly took two steps towards Chen Yuan and the others.

Everything was really developing according to what Chen Yuan said, as if it had been planned in advance.

Chen Yuan seized the opportunity and swung the hatchet in his hand. The hatchet was like a mortar and hit the roe deer's front leg squarely.

The roe deer was frightened and wanted to run but didn't know how. It limped and looked a little funny.

"Huzi, let's tie it up alive."

Hu Zi received Chen Yuan's order and without saying a word, he walked forward, took out a hemp rope and tied up the roe deer.

This place was not far from the cave, so the two of them simply brought the roe deer back to the cave.

Afraid that the roe deer would run around, Chen Yuan hit it with a stick and knocked it unconscious.

"Brother Yuan, this thing is really stupid. It was caught so easily!"

“Hope there are a few more!”

As he spoke, Hu Zi tied the rope in his hand to the wooden bed.

Chen Yuan chuckled, "That's really stupid."

If Chen Yuan remembered correctly, this thing was almost killed in later generations because it was too stupid.

After dealing with the roe deer, the two set out again.

This time they went in another direction, intending to try their luck.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

When Hu Zi saw Chen Yuan stop, he was a little confused and looked at Chen Yuan with a dazed look on his face.

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan?"

"Why did you stop suddenly? Did you see something?"

After saying that, Hu Zi looked around, trying to find something useful.

Chen Yuan made a gesture to keep quiet, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Lao Liu, it's safe, let's take a break first!"

"Damn it, I'm so unlucky to run into this thing!"

"Where are the guns? Where are our guns?"

"The bullet landed in the guesthouse!"

"I really don't know what to say to you. What's the difference between this and forgetting your gun on the battlefield? Oh, you did bring your gun, but you forgot the bullets!"

"Old Liu, keep your voice down, or the tiger will catch up with us again."

"..."

The voice came intermittently, and Chen Yuan roughly understood that this was the same group of people from yesterday.

Hu Zi had just calmed down when he heard some noise, but his hearing was not as good as Chen Yuan's, so he only heard most of it.

"Brother Yuan, are they being chased by a tiger?"

"Then let's go catch the tiger!"

Chen Yuan shook his head. "If we go there now, we may not be able to see a tiger."

"Besides, if we kill the tiger in front of them, they might even want a share of the spoils."

Now that no one has seen each other, no one knows what the other person looks like, so Chen Yuan can only speculate about the other person with the greatest malice.

When Hu Zi heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense. This tiger was their order and could not be snatched away by others.

"Then let's look further ahead. Who knows, we might run into a tiger."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and agreed to Hu Zi's proposal.

But the next second, the two heard a scream.

"Ah! Help! Help!"

"Ow..."

"Roar……"
