Seeing Meng Fei coming back with a group of small animals, the second uncle hurried forward to greet them.

"Oh! This guy also shot two wild rabbits and two pheasants. It's quite a feast tonight. Gouzi, go and take a rest. You didn't sleep all night last night and you've been busy all day today. Your second aunt and I will pack these things. I'll call you when we're done.

Oh, by the way, I brought some daily necessities with me when I went up the mountain, including a small pot, some rice, salt, etc. You can see if you can use them later."

Meng Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was still worried about this matter just now. People of this age are always thoughtful.

"Okay, then you guys pick up the wild rabbits and pheasants... um... I'll go pick up the wild vegetables, and I'll grill the rabbits and chickens for you guys later, and make some wild vegetable porridge."

After saying that, Meng Fei ran to clean up the wild vegetables he had just picked.

Soon Meng Fei finished cleaning up the wild vegetables. At this time, his second uncle had not finished yet. Meng Fei seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to his second uncle.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

Hearing that Meng Fei was going out again, the second uncle frowned and said, "You kid, it's almost dark, why are you still going out? Dinner will be served soon."

"Hey, don't worry, second uncle. I'll be back in less than half an hour. I'll get you some good stuff." Meng Fei said mysteriously, then raised his eyebrows at the little squirrel beside him.

The little squirrel immediately understood what Meng Fei meant. Its eyes lit up, and it quickly jumped onto Meng Fei's shoulder and followed Meng Fei out of the cave.

Soon Meng Fei followed the path and came to the apple tree at the entrance of the mountain pass. Although the strong wind and heavy rain had lasted for a day and a night, the apples on the tree were still hanging firmly on the branches. Under the nourishment of the rain, they became more delicious and tempting.

Meng Fei smiled and looked at the little squirrel on his shoulder and said, "It's time for you to perform."

The little squirrel let out an excited cry and climbed directly up the tree trunk. When it was halfway up, there were several apples less than 20 centimeters away from the little squirrel, but the little squirrel glanced at them with disdain and did not pick the apples. Instead, it continued to climb towards the treetop.

When climbing to the top of the tree, the little squirrel couldn't help revealing excitement in his eyes. He saw that the apples on the treetop were more than twice as big as the ones below, and each of them was bright red and exuded an enticing fragrance.

The little squirrel looked around, picked out the biggest and reddest apple, pulled it off the branch with both hands, then opened its bloody mouth and bit into it.

“Ji!~~~~~~”

After taking a bite, the sweet juice instantly filled the little squirrel's entire mouth, and the little squirrel squinted his eyes with enjoyment.

Looking at the little squirrel on the tree who looked so happy, Meng Fei couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and shouted to him: "Don't just focus on eating spicy food, pick some quickly so that we can go back and cook. We've all been hungry all day!"

Hearing this, the little squirrel came to its senses, cried out in embarrassment, and carefully put the apple it had just bitten into the gap between the branches. It also stepped on it with its little feet. After making sure it would not fall, it felt relieved and began to help Meng Fei pick apples.

Having had the painful experience of falling from the tree before, the little squirrel was extra careful this time and did not dare to be careless at all.

The little squirrel also picked some large and brightly colored apples. Every time it selected one, it would chirp twice to Meng Fei, signaling Meng Fei to take it.

In this way, the little squirrel was thrown on the tree, and Meng Fei caught it with a backpack under the tree. Soon the backpack was full. Meng Fei weighed it and it was at least ten kilograms.

"Okay! That's enough, let's go back." Seeing that it was almost time, Meng Fei shouted to the little squirrel.

Hearing Meng Fei's words, the little squirrel barked twice as a sign of agreement, then returned to the place where he had hidden the apple, held the big, red, delicious apple in his arms, then jumped down from the tree and landed on Meng Fei's shoulder.

At this moment, on a tree trunk fifty meters away from the apple tree, a figure was staring at Meng Fei and the little squirrel, with anger in his eyes.

But he was afraid that he could not beat Meng Fei, so he gritted his teeth in hatred and engraved Meng Fei's appearance in his mind.

However, Meng Fei and the little squirrel did not know that there was a peeper in the distance. The man and the squirrel returned to the cave with a full load.

At this time, the second uncle and second aunt had already prepared the hare and pheasant and skewered them with sticks. Seeing Meng Fei coming back, the second uncle hurriedly said, "Come on, Gouzi! The job of chef still has to be given to you. I wanted to roast them just now, but your second aunt refused to let me, saying that mine is not as delicious as yours. You said this spendthrift old woman, we have nothing but salt now, how bad can it be? How can I not roast them well?"

"Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. Your uncle has never cooked in his life. I don't know what went wrong with him last time, but he insisted on making me an egg cake. Guess what happened? When he served it on the table, I thought he made me a honeycomb coal. Another time, on my birthday, he said he would make me longevity noodles, but he gave me a bowl of noodle soup... Another time..."

Seeing that he had lost face, the second uncle quickly stopped the second aunt and complained, "Stop, stop, stop, look at your ignorant look. That's called Western food. Do you know what Western food is? Okay, the child is here. I won't argue with you. Well, Gouzi, can you take a look at the charcoal fire? Let's start grilling now?"

Meng Fei looked at the pile of charcoal in the fire. The fire had slowly died down, leaving only a pile of burnt white charcoal. It was a good time to barbecue.

"Now is the perfect time, I'll start grilling. By the way, Uncle, there are some delicious foods in this bag, you guys can wash them, and we'll leave some for the little animals to share."

As he spoke, Meng Fei grilled the dressed hare and pheasant over the charcoal fire. At the same time, he took out the small pot that his second uncle had brought, collected some rain water in it, and also hung it over the charcoal.

The second uncle took the backpack that Meng Fei had handed over to Anli, and suddenly felt a heaviness in his hand, and almost dropped it on the ground.

"What is this?" Second Aunt came over with a puzzled look on her face and slowly unzipped her bag. When they saw a backpack full of bright red apples, they both exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god! Gouzi! Where did you find this good stuff? This color and this head are much better than those sold in the supermarket in town."

Meng Fei grinned and said, "There is an apple tree in the valley. Judging from its growth, it must be at least a hundred years old. Don't just stand there. Come and taste it to see if it tastes good."
