After everything was ready, Lin Xiaoxiao put all the things into her basket and went up the mountain.
Han Qiushi was already waiting for her on the mountain.
After entering the mountain, the two kept walking. Both of them were skilled, so they went deeper into the mountains, where they were more likely to find more things.
When she was halfway there, Lin Xiaoxiao found a large patch of hazel mushrooms.
Because few people have come up here recently, the hazel mushrooms here are very large and grow in large clumps.
Lin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. If she couldn't finish eating them, she could dry them and send some mountain produce to her teacher later.
Han Qiushi squatted down to help pick them, and soon they had a big bag full.
Lin Xiaoxiao weighed it in her hand; it weighed at least twenty pounds, but there was still a lot left to pick. The two of them only brought two cloth bags; the remaining baskets were intended for wild game and other things.
Thinking this, Han Qiushi was about to take off his clothes to use as a container for the hazel mushrooms.
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to say no, but Han Qiushi was too fast. She could already see Han Qiushi's strong physique and his well-defined biceps, so she silently shut her mouth.
She has something to carry, and a decent figure to look at, so...not bad, right?
It was already early summer, and with the added heat from walking, both of them got hot. Han Qiushi was still wearing a vest underneath, so he wasn't worried about his health being affected.
Han Qiushi took the clothes and put the hazel mushrooms he had picked inside, his eyes constantly glancing at Lin Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao would glance at him every now and then, Han Qiushi's lips curled up.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't actually look at Han Qiushi specifically; she figured she should put what she had in her hands inside his clothes.
After this happened several times, Han Qiushi himself realized it.
Oh well, so all that taking off those clothes was for nothing?
"That's enough." Seeing that the clothes were full, Lin Xiaoxiao tied a knot in them to prevent all the hazel mushrooms from falling out later.
The two walked for a while longer. Lin Xiaoxiao wanted Han Qiushi to rest for a bit, worried that he might not have enough stamina.
But as I walked along the path, I realized that I was the one who needed to be taken care of.
That's true. Someone who can get into the captain's room must have been injured during his military service, so he's probably used to it. These kinds of problems aren't really issues to him.
Han Qiushi noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's scrutinizing gaze, and he couldn't help but straighten his back. To make his abs look better, he even took a deep breath.
After walking for about an hour, the two stopped going further in.
The road ahead was fraught with wild animals and the path itself was difficult to traverse.
Not long after, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed a rabbit running past her. With quick reflexes, she took out a sharpened wooden stick from behind her back.
Lin Xiaoxiao held her breath, observing the rabbit's movements. Once she found the right opportunity, she threw the stick in her hand without hesitation.
Han Qiushi finally saw Lin Xiaoxiao's aim.
In a swift, precise, and ruthless move, the rabbit was captured before it even had a chance to struggle.
The stick had completely pierced through the flesh. Seeing this, Han Qiushi was no longer surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao could shoot through a person's wrist.
This is the absolute five senses, which cannot be achieved through innate training; it requires talent.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's nimble movements, Han Qiushi thought to himself that if it were him, he could definitely catch the rabbit, but he wouldn't be able to do it as skillfully as Lin Xiaoxiao.
In shooting, he was one point behind Lin Xiaoxiao.
"sharp."
"Of all the people I've met, no one is better than you at shooting."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled upon hearing this, and without any modesty, replied, "That's what the veteran who taught me said too."
He said I was one in a million.
When Han Qiushi saw Lin Xiaoxiao's happy and nostalgic expression when she mentioned this, he felt that her decision to come up the mountain with her this time was very wise.
"Your skills are very good, but they take too much time and effort. Why don't you set traps? That way you won't have to work so hard to eat meat in the future."
Lin Xiaoxiao's smile vanished instantly. "Can I say I can't?"
Han Qiushi was taken aback. He had assumed that Lin Xiaoxiao liked this way of catching wild game, so he hadn't asked her before.
He saw that Lin Xiaoxiao seemed very capable in everything and assumed that she knew most things.
Han Qiushi couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, wondering how he could have such thoughts.
He smiled gently at Lin Xiaoxiao: "It's okay, I can teach you."
"Or, I can take care of it for you, and you can just come and pick it up every now and then."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "You should teach me. What I learn will be mine."
"If you fix it, the traps won't work, and then there won't be any traps left to use."
Han Qiushi nodded, intending to take advantage of the current time to have a good talk with Lin Xiaoxiao.
When he used to lead his small team on missions, he often had to solve his own food problems, and over time he became quite experienced in this area.
Han Qiushi then began the on-site teaching.
Thinking of rope traps, snare traps...
Han Qiushi first talked about a lot of theories, such as that every kind of environment has traps that are suitable for that environment. The traps are of different sizes, depending on what kind of prey you want.
What things in the surrounding environment can be used as bait?
After teaching the theoretical knowledge, Han Qiushi took Lin Xiaoxiao to look for the footprints and droppings of various animals, which could roughly determine what kind of animal it was.
Is it a single animal, or a group of animals? How long does the animal stay in the vicinity, or is it just passing through?
Han Qiushi was practically emptying his brain to teach, and Lin Xiaoxiao was quite interested in this kind of information and listened very attentively.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt countless pieces of knowledge being poured into her mind, and she also imagined that she would have a continuous supply of meat to eat in the future.
Suddenly, I felt that going up the mountain was a very happy thing, and I always returned with a full load.
Just teaching these things took until noon.
Lin Xiaoxiao took out the flatbread she had brought from her basket, but it had gone cold by now and didn't taste as good. Luckily, the water bottle she brought had a heat preservation function.
