The blazing sun hung high, baking this mysterious wilderness.

An Lan stood in front of the shelter. A gentle breeze blew by. She looked at the clean deerskin in front of her, which was swaying gently in the wind. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up: "Hmm, not bad."

Before we knew it, it was noon, and simple food was laid out on the makeshift "dining table".

Lu Fan keenly noticed that An Lan had a poor appetite; she mechanically put food into her mouth, eating only half of what she usually did.

Lu Fan's eyes were full of concern as he asked softly, "An Lan, are you feeling unwell? You haven't eaten much."

An Lan forced a smile and explained, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather is too hot, and I don't have much of an appetite."

Lu Fan frowned slightly; it seemed he needed to improve the meals.

After the meal, Lu Fan, with Da Hei in tow, embarked on his exploration with high spirits.

Along the way, Lu Fan kept a watchful eye on his surroundings while chattering to Dahei: "Dahei, we need to find some good stuff to take back today. You have to keep an eye out for me, and if you find anything delicious, don't forget to let me know."

Big Black seemed to understand him completely, wagging its tail excitedly and running happily ahead, occasionally looking back at Lu Fan as if responding to his instructions.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up. Not far ahead, several green apple trees came into view, their branches laden with fruit.

"Haha, I've got an idea!" Lu Fan shouted excitedly and ran towards the apple tree.

He couldn't wait to reach out and pick an apple, stuffing it directly into his mouth. With a "crunch," he bit down, and the sour taste instantly spread throughout his mouth, stimulating his taste buds.

"This flavor is so appetizing! Anlan will definitely love it."

As Lu Fan muttered to himself, he quickly picked apples, and soon his basket was full.

As they continued onward, Big Black suddenly stopped, its nose twitching incessantly at the ground, its ears standing erect, and its fur trembling slightly with excitement.

[Deer spotted ahead]

Lu Fan immediately understood. He tiptoed closer to Dahei and followed Dahei's gaze. He saw a muntjac grazing leisurely in the distance, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Lu Fan felt a surge of joy. He gently put down the basket of apples, moving with extreme care, afraid of making the slightest noise that might disturb his prey.

Then, he took the bow and arrows off his back, slowly drew the bowstring taut, stared intently at the muntjac, barely daring to breathe, every nerve taut.

Just as he was about to release the arrow, the muntjac seemed to sense danger. Its ears twitched, and it raised its head warily, looking around.

Upon seeing this, Lu Fan immediately held his breath, his body remaining motionless like a statue, and even his heartbeat seemed to be amplified several times.

After a while, seeing that nothing was amiss, the muntjac lowered its head and continued grazing.

Lu Fan seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, released his finger, and the arrow flew out like a shot from a bow, hitting the deer in a vital spot with a "whoosh".

The muntjac struggled a few times before collapsing to the ground.

"That's awesome!" Lu Fan excitedly pumped his fist, ran over to look at his prey, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

【Healthy Muntjac*】

Just as Lu Fan was about to pick up the muntjac, a "cooing" sound reached his ears.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pheasant in the bushes not far away.

This pheasant has colorful feathers that shimmer beautifully in the sunlight.

"I didn't expect there to actually be such a fearless guy." Lu Fan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He set the muntjac aside and then crept closer to the pheasant, each step cautious, like a lurking cheetah.

The pheasant was very alert; it seemed to sense every step Lu Fan took, its head constantly turning.

Suddenly, the pheasant turned its head and stared straight at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan immediately stopped and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to be your friend."

Surprisingly, sensing the inexplicable affability emanating from Lu Fan, the pheasant gradually lowered its guard and slowly approached him.

When he got close enough to the pheasant, Lu Fan suddenly lunged forward, his hands flashing like lightning as he grabbed the pheasant by the neck.

The pheasant struggled desperately in his hand, flapping its wings and making sharp cries, but it still couldn't escape Lu Fan's grasp.

"Haha, you stupid chicken, just obediently become Grandpa Lu's appetizer." Lu Fan laughed triumphantly.

【pheasant*】

Lu Fan smiled happily as he packed up the pheasant and muntjac, along with the apples, and returned home with Big Black, laden with their spoils.

The live stream chat instantly became lively.

"Haha, a classic moment has occurred."

"No chicken can escape the clutches of the great god Lu Fan."

"I don't even dare to eat this chicken, I'm afraid it will make me stupid."

"Upstairs, your stupidity has nothing to do with chickens."

Back at the shelter, An Lan's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Fan return with so many spoils. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, did you go to a slaughterhouse? How did you bring back so many good things!"

Lu Fan proudly placed the apples, pheasant, and muntjac on the ground, dusted himself off, and said with a smile, "Of course, I put a lot of thought into it!"

As he spoke, he began to process the prey.

He first carried the muntjac aside, then skillfully skinned and cut it up, his movements fluid and seamless, like a seasoned chef.

During the process, he didn't forget to share the thrilling moments from the hunt with An Lan, vividly describing how the muntjac almost escaped and how he held his breath and waited for the best opportunity.

An Lan listened intently, sometimes covering her mouth in nervousness, and sometimes bursting into laughter at Lu Fan's humor, her laughter echoing in the shelter.

After dealing with the muntjac, Lu Fan began to prepare the pheasants.

The pheasant kept flapping its wings every now and then, seemingly unwilling to become a meal.

While holding it down, Lu Fan laughed and said, "You little rascal, you were so wary just now, how come I still caught you in the end? Now you can just accept your fate!"

Anlan was washing apples with water nearby.

Looking at the bright green and crisp apples, she couldn't resist picking one up and taking a bite. The tart taste instantly awakened her taste buds.

"Mmm, these apples are really good, sour, just right for this hot weather," An Lan praised.

After processing the prey, Lu Fan began to take stock of the food reserves.

Looking at the neatly arranged half-hundreds of wild boar meat, mutton, rabbit meat, venison that had just been hunted yesterday, and some seafood that had been stored before, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Our food reserves are almost as big as a small supermarket!" Lu Fan joked with a smile.

An Lan walked over, looked at the dazzling array of food, and said with a smile, "Yes, but with so much food, we have to preserve it properly, otherwise it would be a pity if it spoiled."

Lu Fan nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. By the way, I'll make you some appetizing dishes tonight, I guarantee they'll whet your appetite!"

So, Lu Fan started busying himself in the kitchen.

He decided to make chili oil first, which was his specialty.

He ground up the chili peppers he had collected from the wild, and added some scallion segments and minced ginger.

Then hot oil was poured in, and instantly, a rich, spicy aroma filled the entire shelter.

"Wow, it smells so good!" An Lan couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Fan replied with a smile, "Just kidding. As a kid from the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan region, how can I eat without some spice?"
