Shen Qingqing waved her hands indifferently, "You're welcome, it's not hard work, just treat it as an outing."
The caravan drove forward for another four or five miles, and finally chose to set up camp in a certain open space near Yuanxi River.
At this time, the sky had darkened and was so gray that only a person's figure could be vaguely discerned.
The men of the caravan made a fire, and one group stayed to guard the goods, while the other group took their tools and went hunting in the mountains.
Shen Qingqing parked the carriage under the pine trees by the creek and rummaged through the things she had not finished eating at noon. There were only two eggs and a piece of cake left, which was not enough to eat, and she also wanted to eat something fresh.
After thinking about it, I decided to go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables and fruits to eat.
She took out the flashlight in the bag and turned to talk to Meng Yuan: "I'm going to go to the mountain to find some food. Do you want to stay and look at the things, or come with me?"
"Let's go together, it's too dark on the mountain and it's not safe." Meng Yuan took the backpack beside her and walked towards the forest behind the creek.
There are no traces of human activity on the mountain. There are very rich species of animals and plants. Wild vegetables and fungi can be seen everywhere. From time to time, you can also encounter frightened squirrels and small insects.
Shen Qingqing rubbed her hands excitedly and sighed sincerely: "This place is really nice!"
If she could have encountered such a good place in her previous life, casually photographed the scenery, picked mushrooms, and posted videos, she would have probably gained hundreds of thousands of followers.
It’s a paradise for country food bloggers!
But she could only think about it, what's the use of having fans when everyone is cold?
Visit the grave?
Shen Qingqing recognized the reality instantly, resignedly squatted down and started picking mushrooms.
Meng Yuan put the backpack next to her, stared at the little thing hiding in the bushes, and said in a low voice: "Would you like to eat something good, like roast chicken?"
Shen Qingqing stopped picking mushrooms and raised her head in surprise, "Can you catch it?"
"Of course you can." Meng Yuan chuckled, bent down, picked up two stones, and threw them at the bushes not far away.
Immediately there was a cry in the forest, and the pheasant flapped its wings and flew high. As soon as its body lifted off the ground, another stone came through the air.
Another rooster crow sounded, and before Shen Qingqing could clearly see the situation in front of her, Meng Yuan hurried to the bushes and picked up the dying pheasant.
Shen Qingqing gave a thumbs up in admiration, "It's accurate, it's comparable to ten of me."
Meng Yuan held up the pheasant and said with a smile: "Can you compare to ten of you who can shoot slingshots?"
Shen Qingqing: "..."
How come he even knows this?
Can you still have fun playing?
She coughed awkwardly and muttered in a low voice: "I take back what I just said."
Meng Yuan walked up to her with a smile, lowered his eyes, with a smile in his eyes, "My Qingqing can catch ghosts and cook, which is already very good. There must be a little bit of skill, otherwise it won't look like a good husband."
inability?"
My Qingqing...
Shen Qingqing's ears felt hot when she heard it. She tilted her head pretending to be nonchalant and stammered: "I'll pick some more mushrooms. Later... um, I'll make a mushroom soup to relieve my tiredness."
"Pick it, I'll hold the lamp for you."
Fresh mushrooms cannot be stored well, and she was busy on the road and had no time to dry them, so this time she picked a small bag and dug a handful of wild onions.
On the way back, she found another clump of ground berries, which were so bright and colorful hanging on the branches. She couldn't resist the temptation and pulled off Meng Yuan's sleeves, "Wait a minute, I'll pick some fruits to eat."
Meng Yuan put the backpack at his feet and turned around to help her pick wild fruits.
Shen Qingqing stuffed the fruit into her mouth while picking it. The ground lilies in this season were perfectly ripe. When she bit into the thin skin, the rich juice instantly burst between her lips and tongue. It was sour and sweet, especially delicious.
"When I was a kid, I loved going up to the mountains to pick this and eat it. Every time I had to sit on a pile of hay to eat it before I would go home. Meng Yuan, have you ever eaten it?"
Meng Yuan nodded, "I have eaten not only this, but also goat's milk fruit, mulberries, dates...but I don't like eating sour food. I eat some occasionally to change the taste, and it feels good."
While the two were happily picking wild fruits, several roars of wild beasts suddenly sounded in the distant mountains and forests, startling the nearby birds and beasts to scurry around.
Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other.
"This is?"
"Wolves, there are wolves on the mountain!"
Meng Yuan exclaimed, grabbed Shen Qingqing's arm and ran down the mountain.
"No." Shen Qingqing pinched his wrist and stopped, "Listen, there are other sounds."
As if in response to her words, a man's scream sounded in the distance.
Shen Qingqing's expression condensed, "There's someone over there!"
After that, he turned around and ran up the mountain.
The fighting power of wolves is more ferocious than lions and other beasts, and a living person who falls into a pack of wolves may only die.
She can't just die without saving him!
Meng Yuan quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Come back! I'll go over and see what's going on. You hide here and don't move."
"If it really is a pack of wolves, you can't fight it alone."
Shen Qingqing patted the gourd on her waist, "Don't worry, I'm not a fool. I have ways to deal with them."
Seeing that she was confident, Meng Yuan felt a little relieved, "Then you follow me. If something goes wrong, run down the mountain immediately and don't worry about me."
"I know." Shen Qingqing smiled. This man was quite reliable at critical moments.
The two of them ran towards the source of the sound. Before they had gone far, they saw several bright fire lights and dozens of pairs of green eyes surrounding the red lights.
The bearded man was carrying a machete and holding a brother who had been bitten by a wild wolf under his arm. His eyes were red with anger and he said, "Cheer up, I have to fight my way out today!"
"But how can we defeat so many wolves?"
"I think we have turned in this trip, wuwu...my mother would be so sad if she knew that I was eaten by a wolf."
"It's so unlucky. I was planning to save up money to marry a wife. It's a good thing that I'll go directly to the underworld and be reincarnated."
The bearded man was not happy to hear such depressing words, "You haven't been beaten yet, why should you be reincarnated? Today I want to show you what sword skills are!"
He pushed his injured brother against the person next to him and slashed at the biting wolf with his knife.
The wild wolf is not a vegetarian either. It scratches the ground with its front paws, revealing its white teeth, and rushes into the crowd.
The team that had formed a circle was instantly dispersed, and screams broke out one after another.
Shen Qingqing summoned the lazy ball with a secret, pointed at the wolves in front, "Go and roar to scare them away."
Lazy Ball glanced at the wolves and bared his teeth at her in disgust: "Shen Qingqing, are you polite?"
Fei Lao went to great lengths to summon it just to scare away a pack of wild wolves.
It is a mythical beast that eats evil spirits.
Divine beast!
Shen Qingqing patted its head and said, "Go ahead and treat me as your master."
"I am unlucky to have such a stall owner!"
Lazy Ball reluctantly complained, jumped up, jumped into the middle of the crowd, and barked "woof woof" at the wolf king several times.
The originally high-spirited wolf king immediately tightened his tail when he heard the sound, turned around and ran away with a "whoop" sound.
The other wolves immediately dispersed after receiving the signal. For a moment, the forest was full of wild wolves fleeing in all directions. This chapter has been completed!
