Chapter 14: Companions

As for this person...tsk tsk, she is usually not good at speaking, and is often choked by others and speechless, not to mention getting angry and quarreling.

I won a hand today out of nowhere? Did the Buddha bless me?

I remember when I was in high school in my previous life, many students ate at Hu's house. When she was getting her food, the soup accidentally rubbed against the sleeve of a girl's school uniform.

She didn't see it at that time, and was complained to by the girl and her friends, but she could only utter one sentence.

"I didn't see it. If I had seen it, I would definitely apologize to you. I'm not the kind of impolite person."

Thinking about it now, it’s inexplicably funny, but people back then were simple and kind.

That night, the girl actually apologized to her, saying that she had a bad temper and asked her not to mind.

It was just a small thing, but everyone was moved to do good. This was probably her most explosive moment, as she usually responded in silence.

Of course, she didn't do nothing. She would prepare several versions afterwards and simulate the dialogue in turn, hoping to fight back next time.

Unfortunately, it is not used every time and is only used to vent emotions afterwards.

“Hmph…”

"Wild boar!" The two of them put their thoughts aside and stared ahead.

"Hmph..." An adult wild boar with brown and black mane staggered over.

"Drunk?" Xie Yu looked surprised.

Yun Xiang frowned, unable to figure it out. He never put down the bow in his hand and remained on guard.

The wild boar staggered like a drunk, and fell headfirst into the trap with a "thump". There was a "crack", a sound like a broken neck, and then there was no sound.

"It's dead already?" Xie Yu picked up a branch and squatted at the entrance of the cave, poking the wild boar's body with an incredible look on his face. Sit back and wait?

Yun Xiang put away his bow, slid down the branch, and hung upside down on a branch, with his face just facing Xie Yu.

Then he imitated Xie Yu's tone, "This trap is really..., it's a big one!"

After saying that, he gestured to him to look at the wild boar in the trap. It had good functions and high cost performance.

Xie Yu suddenly leaned closer, his tone light and lazy, "Want to feed me?"

Yun Xiang subconsciously frowned and tried to remain calm, "Oh, the meat is not very good!"

"How do you know if you haven't tasted it? How about trying it?"

"...Shameless!" Yun wanted to jump off the branch, put the wild boar into the space box, and then turned and left without hesitation.

In Xie Yu's eyes, that was a desperate escape. "I'm talking about wild boars, are you overthinking it?"...

You are overthinking it, huh!

"Haha..." Hearing the man's evil laughter, Yun Xiang paused and walked faster.

Alas, after finally having a chance to shine, I failed so quickly. I must persist longer next time, Yun Xiang secretly encouraged himself.

Suddenly, we ran into two groups of people. One was easy to identify, wearing the same uniform, they were the garrison here, and the other looked like an expedition team.

They are responsible for the security of the entire examination room, so it is not surprising to see them here.

It was not easy to just leave after encountering him, so Xie Yu followed him.

"Xie Yu?" The uniformed man in the lead glanced at the two of them with an understanding expression on his face.

"Third Uncle." Xie Yu called out, and then greeted the man next to him, "Master Lin!"

His tone was casual and his attitude was not very respectful, but not rude either.

Yun didn't show any reaction when he saw Uncle Xie, the third of the Xie family, because he knew that he was like this when he met everyone.

"Xie Yu," the Lin family greeted him and got straight to the point. "Did you kill those mutant wolves?"

The head of the Lin family looks very young, probably no more than thirty years old. He has a calm but dignified temperament, the kind of person who is as handsome as the moon and as bright as the sky.

He had nothing to do with vulgar people like Yun Xiang. After just one glance, Yun Xiang's gaze returned to Xie Yu.

It turns out his name is Xie Yu.

"Yeah, disturbing my sleep so late at night." Xie Yu yawned and complained, "Pairs of green eyes, I thought they were attracted to me!"

"..." Yun Xiang almost laughed out loud. Of course, I like you, this guy... It turns out that she is not the only one who can't respond.

…The scene fell into an eerie silence.

Uncle Xie adjusted his mood and said, "Then... continue. We'll go over there first!"

He left immediately after saying that, so straightforward that the Lin family head nodded and said goodbye. Continue? Continue what? Kill the wolf? ... Ha...

"Well, very funny?" Xie Yu approached Yun Xiang.

Uh, okay, Yun wanted to look around, "Ah, well, I'll continue to collect supplies."

"Why do you always follow me?" As they were almost at their destination, Yun Xiang felt it necessary to remind him.

"Isn't what I'm doing obvious enough? Build a team! Don't actions speak louder than words? I'm practicing what I preach!"

"I guess you will look for Xiao Qingzhu again!" Xie Yu had an expression as if he knew everything.

Yun Xiang didn't stop walking, like a drunken wild boar, who wouldn't think of looking for wine!

"I encountered a lot of damaged bamboo along the way. The ones that hadn't turned yellow had a faint smell of alcohol, so—"

"We're here!" Yun Xiang walked into the large bamboo forest, smelling the strong aroma of wine. His feet felt dizzy and he was even a little drunk.

"It really smells delicious, a heaven-sent wine!" Xie Yu stretched lazily, this place was perfect for catching up on sleep.

Xie Yu felt sorry when he saw the bamboo tip bitten by animals.

Yunxiang took out 8 small bamboo tubes, sharpened the tips of several bamboos one by one, placed the small bamboo tubes in place, and the milky white bamboo wine dripped into the bamboo tubes.

These bamboo tubes were made when my grandfather was still alive. They were only used to hold fruit wine during the Chinese New Year to suit the occasion.

Each bamboo tube can hold 1 kilogram of wine. Judging from the flow rate, it probably won’t be full by evening.

Yun Xiang was used to being diligent. After being busy for a while, he suddenly realized that there was no sound and turned around in surprise.

Xie Yu was found lying on his back on a huge rock at some point, with the front end of the rock raised, like a naturally formed stone bed.

He rested his head on his crossed hands, his eyes closed and he looked intoxicated, and his clothes were no longer the same as before.

Next to it was a specially made transparent cup, and one could clearly see inside, which had milky white traces, clearly having been visited by the owner.

Looking at Xie Yu sitting with his legs crossed and swaying leisurely, I felt inexplicably suffocated. This guy really knows how to enjoy himself.

Seeing him with envy, there was nothing he could do. Hardworking people hated lazy people the most. But if he really wanted to be like him, Yun Xiang couldn't do it. He unconsciously increased his pace while walking.

Xie Yu opened his eyes slightly and pointed to two wine bottles not far from the stone bed. "Remember to watch them for me. I'll take a break."

Yun Xiang looked indignant, barely suppressing the urge to kick the stone bed. How did this stone bed appear? It was so perfect!

Yun Xiang was speechless when he saw Xie Yuzhen sleeping like that. He took out a shovel and dug wild vegetables while secretly complaining in his heart.

This guy must be showing off instead of really enjoying himself. Everyone in the galaxy needs something to eat, and I don't believe he doesn't.

Xie Yu really wasn't showing off this time. He was exhausted. Among the mutant wolves he had just killed, there were more than a dozen level 5 ones and one level 6 one.

This fish that had escaped the net was just caught by him. What else could he do?

The world is in turmoil, and there is really no peace anywhere. Listen to this—
