The further you go, the more lush the grass becomes, its branches and leaves obscuring the path ahead.

Ye Jingmo used a sickle to cut off the branches and leaves.

Jiang Li faintly heard the sound of flowing water.

After walking for what seemed like more than ten minutes, the two passed through dense foliage.

A babbling brook meanders along.

The streambank is lined with smooth stones, like planets in the Milky Way, scattered around the stream.

Jiang Li walked to the stream, where fish swam in the crystal-clear water.

She even saw crabs crouching under the rocks, stretching out their powerful claws and strutting around.

Ye Jingmo looked up at the dazzling sun, then glanced at Jiang Li, who was lounging by the stream.

He then suggested, "Why don't we rest here and have lunch before we leave?"

The terrain along the stream is flat, and there is no stuffy feeling even when you are near the water.

Jiang Li nodded happily, as this was exactly what she had in mind.

She and Brother Mo really do have great chemistry.

Jiang Li took out a piece of cloth from her spatial storage and laid it on the ground, creating a clean area.

After setting up the outdoor stove, Ye Jingmo picked up his knife and walked towards the stream.

"Brother Mo, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Ye Jingmo's actions, Jiang Li quickly stood up and followed him.

"Let me see if I can get some fish or crabs."

"Then I'll come too."

However, before fishing, Jiang Li first collected two large buckets of stream water.

These are used to go back and clean the front yard.

There was no sign of rain for the past few days, and Jiang Li had been enduring that stinking pool for a long time.

They just couldn't bear to use the tap water stored in the space.

Now that we've encountered a stream, we can use the empty bucket in our space to store water.

It's perfect to go home and clean the front yard.

After marking the two large barrels, Jiang Li stored them in her spatial storage.

Ye Jingmo asked Jiang Li to bring out his long water boots, and after changing into them, he went to the middle of the stream.

The stream was shallow, only reaching halfway up Ye Jingmo's calves.

Jiang Li also changed into water boots and walked to a position two meters away from Ye Jingmo.

The stream is located deep in the Wufeng Mountains, a place rarely visited by people, and the fish here have never experienced the harsh realities of society.

Their vigilance was almost zero.

Ye Jingmo's sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed on the largest fish swimming towards him.

"puff!"

The knife pierced the fish's body and carried it away from the stream.

The live fish was still struggling and thrashing about, splashing out countless water droplets.

Water droplets scattered on Ye Jingmo's face, sliding down his angular features. Combined with his expressionless face, he exuded a captivating allure amidst his ascetic demeanor.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Li's ears involuntarily burned.

Mo Ge's appearance is like a pure white angel tainted with darkness, adding a touch of danger, yet making him even more alluring to approach.

Ye Jingmo gave him a strange look. Why was Lili staring at him?

Jiang Li lowered her head as if she were a thief, pretending to stare at the lake as if nothing was wrong.

Seeing that both of its owners had run to the creek, Pudding waddled over there too.

While Jiang Li was still staring at the water in a daze, a huge splash of water exploded in front of her.

Jiang Li hastily wiped the water stains off her face with her clothes.

"Pudding, what are you doing?"

Pudding, holding a purple crab in her mouth, presented it to Jiang Li like a treasure.

The crab's two large pincers were sideways.

"Woooooooo..."

Jiang Li wiped her face clean and then heard Pudding's wailing.

Upon closer inspection, a purple crab was pinching Pudding's mouth, making it grimace in pain.

Jiang Li approached the crab, intending to grab it, but another claw was placed in front of her.

A flash of inspiration.

Taking out a pair of cotton gloves from her spatial storage, Jiang Li, following the example of a beachcombing video she had seen before, grabbed a crab and tried to make it let go of its grip.

The crab, however, showed no mercy, its pincers still clamping onto Pudding's mouth.

Jiang Li exerted a great deal of effort to finally get the crab off the ground.

Woof woof~

Pudding barked at the crab, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

Ok,

Judging from his expression, he used quite a lot of vulgar language.

Jiang Li thought to herself.

Ye Jingmo prepared the fish and put it in a pot to stew.

Jiang Li immediately threw the crabs in as well.

As the temperature rises, the fish soup gradually turns milky white, and its aroma slowly wafts out.

Ye Jingmo ladled a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Jiang Li, who sipped the milky white broth.

For a moment, Jiang Li had the illusion that they weren't going into the mountains to familiarize themselves with the paths, but rather to go on a picnic and have a meal in the countryside.

After finishing lunch, Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li continued their journey.

Jiang Li saw a very tall tree, nearly four meters high.

The closer you get, the smaller you feel.

Jiang Li reached out and touched the rough bark of the tree, then turned to look at Ye Jingmo.

"Brother Mo, do you know what kind of tree this is?"

Ye Jingmo approached the tree, carefully observed its leaves, and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"It should be a peach tree."

"Will there be peaches?"

"Yes, but fruit trees that are not cared for will produce less fruit."

Jiang Li listened to Ye Jingmo's words and looked up at the peach tree.

suddenly,

Jiang Li discovered a beehive on a thick branch of the peach tree.

Where there are bees, there must be honey.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and she was secretly plotting to take down the beehive.

Looking at Jiang Li's expression, Ye Jingmo knew exactly what she was thinking.

"Now is not the time to collect honey."

Many flowers haven't bloomed yet, so the bees must have traveled a long way to collect nectar.

The honey's flavor should be quite complex, and the quantity should be small, just enough for their own consumption.

Jiang Li sighed regretfully upon hearing this.

"Make a note of this, and we'll come back when the time comes."

Ye Jingmo couldn't bear to see Jiang Li's dejected expression, so he comforted her.

"Ah."

Jiang Li nodded in response.

They marked the location of the peach tree on their drawing and even drew a small star on it.

Just kidding, there are not only peach trees here, but also beehives, making it a crucial supply depot.

The two continued walking and encountered a thicket of thorny bushes.

The road ahead is not easy to travel, and it would take a lot of effort to clear a path with a sickle.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li decided to return home.

It was already afternoon, and if they continued onward, they wouldn't be able to get back to the villa before dark.

Spending the night outdoors is a very dangerous thing.

Following the route they had taken, Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li quickened their pace.

After rushing as fast as I could, I finally arrived home just as it was getting completely dark.

Jiang Li didn't have time to rest and immediately ran to her room on the third floor.

Take out the incubator from the space and obtain wild eggs during the day.

Place the eggs in the incubator with the larger end facing up.

Mark one side of the egg to distinguish its two sides.

Wild eggs must be left to stand for six hours before they can be incubated.

Jiang Li noted down the current time and said she would come back to answer the phone six hours later.

When Jiang Li walked downstairs, Ye Jingmo was in the kitchen plucking the feathers off the two pheasants he had caught during the day.

She strode into the kitchen and worked with Ye Jingmo to prepare the pheasant.

They planned to stew both pheasants.

One was given to Pudding, and the other was shared between the two of them.

For the one made for Pudding, Jiang Li simply boiled it in plain water without adding any seasoning.

Once cooked, take it out and rinse it in cold water to maintain the texture of the chicken.

Jiang Li removed all the bones from the chicken meat, because she had read that chicken bones could easily get stuck in a dog's throat.

She was worried that the pudding might get stuck, and it would be difficult to find a veterinarian now.

It's easier to avoid risk factors.
