Chapter 39: Pond Fish

"Song Ruize, look, there's a bird's nest here..."

Veins on Song Ruize's forehead were throbbing. He turned back impatiently, only to see the thin figure climbing up the tree very neatly.

She sat on the treetop and carefully took out the bird eggs.

Her hair was disheveled, and her black hair scratched her fair cheeks. When she found the bird eggs, the smile on her face was as beautiful as a newly blooming winter jasmine.

After she put the bird eggs into the backpack, she waved to Song Ruize below with a smile on her face: "Song Ruize, I got it."

After saying that, she slid down the tree again.

Song Ruize frowned, turned and left.

He always likes to be alone. When he is hunting, there will be no other sounds around except the sounds of nature. In order to catch a satisfactory prey, he will hide in the mountains for several days and nights. The prey will not find him because he is patient and will not alert the prey before it appears.

If he wanted, he could leave quietly. To him, this deep mountain was like his backyard. However, he did not do so.

Song Ruize walked for a while and found that it became quiet behind him, so he stopped.

He hesitated for a moment and turned around slowly, only to see Qin Huiyin squatting in front of a grass, digging its roots bit by bit with the sickle in her hand.

Qin Huiyin finished digging the Houttuynia cordata. When she stood up, she saw Song Ruize not far ahead, so she hurriedly followed him.

"Have you taken the medicine I bought for you?" Qin Huiyin asked Song Ruize.

Song Ruize ignored her.

Qin Huiyin muttered: "When Nuwa created you, she should have spent less time on your face and more time on your tongue."

"Don't follow me." Song Ruize said calmly.

"Okay." Qin Huiyin agreed immediately, "Then should I wait for you here?"

Song Ruize: "...Yeah."

Qin Huiyin thought Song Ruize would not respond to her, but unexpectedly he agreed after a pause. She watched him walk deeper into the mountains in a good mood.

She was digging bamboo shoots, storing herbs, looking for bird eggs and various mountain products. She was so engrossed in digging that she didn't react when she heard the sound of her prey. It was not until she squatted down and dug for another two minutes that she realized what the sound meant.

She quickly packed up her things and walked towards the sound. After a few steps, she saw Song Ruize carrying a bison towards her.

The bison's body was very large. In comparison with it, the originally tall Song Ruize looked like a bean sprout.

The bison's neck was bleeding and there was a buzzing sound coming from its mouth. It must be taking its last breath and now saying goodbye to the forest.

Qin Huiyin was stunned.

The villain's fighting power is really amazing.

"Are you hurt?"

Song Ruize lowered his eyes: "No."

"You're lying." Qin Huiyin frowned, "It must be bleeding. Put the things down, I want to see your wound."

Song Ruize ignored him and carried the bison down the mountain.

Qin Huiyin blocked his way and said sternly, "If your old injury relapses, even if you can barely carry the prey down the mountain with your current physical strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for long. If you faint, who do you think will get the prey?"

He was unconscious, and the shameless Second and Third Uncles Song would definitely carry the prey away. No one in the village stood up for him. Even if they knew that the two uncles of the Song family were bullying him, they would not offend two difficult hooligans for an orphan.

Song Ruize put down his prey.

Qin Huiyin used the medicine she had just collected to reapply medicine to Song Ruize's torn wound, and then tore his clothes to bandage it.

"You have to remember this herb. It can stop bleeding. If you encounter any problems next time, you might be able to find it to deal with the emergency."

“This is anti-inflammatory…”

"This is for snake venom..."

"This is for reducing fever... Never mind, I won't say so much, in case you forget all of them. You only need to remember the two most important ones, one is for stopping bleeding, and the other is for detoxifying snake venom. You often walk in the mountains, so it will be very useful for you to remember these two medicines."

Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin who was mumbling. When she was mumbling, her little mouth was moving, and the sound was as clear and loud as a bird's song.

If he hadn't been so cold to her when his father was around, would they have been able to get along like brother and sister?

When he passed by the Tang family, he saw her and Tang Yichen getting along. She was not afraid of Tang Yichen, and Tang Yichen did not reject her, and the two of them were quite harmonious.

Song Ruize pursed his thin lips.

Not the same.

He is a coffin man. No one likes to associate with him. Associating with him will bring bad luck.

Song Ruize stood up and picked up the bison again.

Qin Huiyin hurried to catch up with him.

When the two men went down the mountain, the villagers were shocked to see such a huge bison and surrounded them.

"Ze boy, did you kill him?"

"Even adults can't kill such a big bison, how can he kill it?"

Qin Huiyin smiled: "Uncle Zhang, with your strength, let alone killing a bison, I'm afraid you can't even kill a cat. You can't do it, so of course you can't understand those who can do it. I didn't believe it at first. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that such a strong bison would die in his hands. Uncle Zhang, you said that Song Ruize can even kill a bison, so if he kills some other 'smaller animals', wouldn't it be easier?"

Everyone: “…”

Could that smaller animal be a human?

Song Ruize has been an evil guy since he was a child. If you really make him angry, he might even dare to beat someone to death.

"Ze boy can't handle such a big bison by himself. Why don't we help you?" Uncle Song Song Jue said as he was about to come over to help.

Song Ruize carried the bison with one hand and walked past them.

Everyone: “…”

Is Song Ruize so strong?

Before, they said those sarcastic words to him in front of him, but he didn't punch them, which seemed to be polite to them.

Song Ruize carried the bison directly to the doorstep of Mr. Tang Sanye's house.

Master Tang San heard the sound and came out. When he saw such a big bison, his old face was full of curiosity.

"Even your father doesn't have this much strength. You are really a hidden talent!"

"Rent a bullock cart." Song Ruize said calmly, "Go into the city."

"Now?" asked Mr. Tang San.

"Um."

Master Tang San asked Qin Huiyin in the crowd: "Yin girl, is there anything you need me to bring back so I can buy it for you?"

"Third Uncle, why don't I take a ride with you into the city to take a look?" Qin Huiyin said, "I want to ask how the things I ordered last time are going. Tomorrow is the fifth day, maybe they will be finished ahead of time!"

"I'm going to the county town." Song Ruize said calmly.

"...The county town is fine too. I want to learn about the market in advance." Qin Huiyin thought for a moment and said, "But it's a little late at this hour. I'm afraid I'll have to stay there tonight."
