Chapter 56 He Chases and He Escapes
"I'm so hungry..." Li Huiyin collapsed on the sofa, "I really want to eat braised pig's trotters, pepper fish, spicy crayfish, and mouth-watering chicken..."
"Stop talking." Xu Zhiyang couldn't help but interrupt her: "You made me hungry too."
Qin Shiyu opened his backpack and asked generously, "Sister Yin, what do you want to eat?"
Li Huiyin took a look and sighed: "I want to eat something hot, I don't want to eat puffed food..."
Xu Zhiyang suddenly remembered that there were many wild mushrooms on the hillside along the way. "I just saw some mushrooms on the mountain. How about picking some and making some soup?"
Li Huiyin sat up quickly: "Okay, okay! If only you could have a little more meat!"
Xu Zhiyang: "You're pushing it too far."
Li Huiyin: "I haven't eaten meat in half a month!!!"
"Isn't that a good way to lose weight? You've always been talking about losing weight."
"I've lost ten pounds since the apocalypse!"
Mu Ke suddenly said, "There are mutated animals in the mountains, including many sparrows and pigeons."
Xu Zhiyang moved his ankle and found it was completely healed, so he stood up and said, "Then Huiyin and I will go out and catch a mutant animal to improve our food."
Li Huiyin jumped up. Before she could say anything, Zhu Ci also stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Li Huiyin immediately expressed her opinion: "Then I won't go. I'll help Brother Mu light the fire in the house."
"Alright."
Xu Zhiyang felt a little sorry that she had forgotten the crossbow she had taken from Li Huiyin's house at the repair shop, but since she had Zhu Ci, she would not need it.
The two found a bamboo basket in the villa's kitchen and didn't walk too far to the hillside behind the villa. Xu Zhiyang discovered that there were many mutated mushrooms that grew very tall, some of which were one or two meters tall.
But these are too big for them to take away.
Xu Zhiyang spotted a mushroom that was as long as his forearm, pulled it twice with one hand, and found that the mushroom did not move at all.
"Is it so deep?" Xu Zhiyang was unwilling to give up. He put both hands together and was about to use force when a hand reached out, gathered a wind blade and cut through. The mushroom was suddenly cut off.
Xu Zhiyang didn't have the strength to retract and suddenly fell backwards, and was supported by Zhu Ci.
He heard Zhuci laugh and say, "Sorry."
"You did it on purpose." Xu Zhiyang rubbed his nose, and mud was rubbed on his fair face, but he didn't notice it.
Zhu Ci's smile deepened, and he reached out and gently wiped Xu Zhiyang's cheek, but he forgot that his hands were also dirty, and he made the boy's face even dirtier.
"Why are you so happy?" Xu Zhiyang rummaged through a basket full of mushrooms. "Go find some mutant animals. We have enough mushrooms. We can't put any more in."
"Okay." Zhu Ci took the basket and walked to the top of the hill with Xu Zhiyang.
Along the way, Xu Zhiyang was like a little lamb, very interested in the mutated plants, and couldn't wait to get close to them and smell them with his nose.
However, in order to appear more mature, Xu Zhiyang resisted the urge to get close to some strange-looking plants. Although he was obviously extremely curious, he looked extremely calm.
Zhu Ci laughed. He didn't know why, but after being with Xu Zhiyang for a long time, he wanted to protect him unconditionally, hold him in his hands, and take good care of him.
He originally thought that since Xu Zhiyang called him brother, he really put himself in the position of an older brother.
But now…
Zhu Ci looked up at the young man standing in the sun in front of him. He was pointing at a tree and smiling at him, his eyes full of surprise, as if he had discovered some incredible treasure.
Now... he wanted to give Xu Zhiyang even deeper love.
The kind that is at the top of my heart.
Xu Zhiyang trotted over, stumbling and nearly falling over on the spot due to a rock. He excitedly gestured, "There are wild fruits! These big!"
"Want it?" Zhu Ci looked up.
The fruits on the tree were like peaches, each one was the size of a fist, almost red to purple, and the delicate branches were trembling under the weight of their weight.
To be honest, Xu Zhiyang was quite greedy. The peaches looked delicious. He liked peaches and grapes before the end of the world. Han Zhiche always bought boxes of them every month and mailed them back home.
"I can get up there myself, but this peach looks like it shouldn't fall, or it'll rot. Can you use your wind energy to help me out from below?"
Congratulations: "Can't."
"?"
Xu Zhiyang was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhu Ci said seriously, "Call me brother and I'll pick them for you. Pick as many as you want."
"..." Xu Zhiyang looked at him strangely, "What kind of evil taste do you have? Do you need a younger brother? Don't Xiaoyu and Huiyin call you brother every day?"
It’s no wonder that Xu Zhiyang has such straightforward thoughts. He was really scared by Zhu Ci’s word “girl” and he would no longer be so self-indulgent as to think that Zhu Ci was being nice to him because he liked her.
Zhu Ci's half-moved heart was shattered by Xu Zhiyang's words. She pressed his head angrily and helplessly, left two words, and climbed up the tree.
"Wait."
A few minutes later, Zhu Ci took out a bag of peaches from his clothes. Xu Zhiyang clung to his arm and looked at them. "What big peaches! They look sweet."
Zhu Ci picked up the reddest one on the edge and wiped it on his T-shirt, then handed it to Xu Zhiyang, "Try it."
Xu Zhiyang held the big peach in both hands and took a big bite. The peach was juicy and very sweet. He leaned over to give it to Zhu Ci.
Zhu Ci took a bite in the same spot he had bitten and whispered, "Very sweet."
“…”
Xu Zhiyang was bewitched by Zhu Ci's wet lower lip, and her mind was slightly confused. Two seconds later, she coughed in an attempt to cover up her mistake, turned around and continued walking up.
Xu Zhiyang was walking and observing, when suddenly, he sensed a surge of energy. He turned his head sharply and saw a mutated bison kicking its hind legs, snorting and staring at him.
He stood there without moving, but instead waved arrogantly at the buffalo and whistled.
The mutant bison was enraged and rushed towards Xu Zhiyang with a pair of sharp and large horns. Xu Zhiyang didn't even blink, but instead took the time to feel it. The energy of this bison was water energy.
At the moment when the boy was about to be stabbed by the bull's horns, a line of blood suddenly appeared on the bull's neck. Xu Zhiyang jumped up and dodged to the side.
I saw that the bull's head had fallen to the ground, and the bull's body rushed out a long distance due to inertia before falling to the ground with a bang!
"I almost got splashed with blood again." Xu Zhiyang sat on a tree branch, frowning slightly, and patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves.
Zhuci walked to the tree and spread his arms: "Yangyang, jump down."
"What?" Xu Zhiyang thought she was hallucinating. "What did you call me?"
Zhuci calmly repeated: "Yangyang."
"Are you fucking crazy?" Xu Zhiyang jumped aside and didn't let him touch her. "Why are you calling me like that? Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?!"
“Why should you be afraid of being misunderstood?”
"Aren't you going to find a partner in the future? Calling me so... intimately... is inappropriate." Xu Zhiyang rubbed his hot ears, walked around Zhu Ci, bent down, picked up an ox leg and prepared to leave.
"Is that considered intimate? It's just a short name."
Zhu Ci gave the basket to Xu Zhiyang to carry, cut off four cow legs with his wind blade, and took them up. He held Xu Zhiyang's hand with his other hand, "Li Huiyin called you Yangbao, this will only lead to misunderstandings, right?"
