Chapter 15 Playing with Cats
“Puff!”
"Puchi!" Hey, it's a pheasant!
Yun wanted to find a trap and put it next to a bamboo. He looked back at Xie Yu who was not far away, hesitated for a moment, and then put it farther away.
"Snap!" Soon the trap caught a mutant pheasant, just on the head. The pheasant died after flapping its wings twice before it could scream.
Yun wanted to take the pheasant down, and resisted the urge to look back, but when choosing a position, he subconsciously moved away a little.
Xie Yu frowned and turned over impatiently. Why are you working so hard? Can't you just sit down for a while?
Xie Yu sat up suddenly. "Such a beautiful view, such delicious wine, and a handsome, powerful hero. Shouldn't we sit down and savor it carefully?"
His answer was, "Snap!" Another hare fell into the trap.
Xie Yu was helpless. He crossed his arms behind his head and lay down on the stone bed again. Forget it. Now he was not lying on a bed, but a frying pan!
"Pah!" "Pah!"... What on earth did these guys eat to deserve their death?
"Snap!" As if a string had broken, Xie Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. When he saw the busy figure, he suppressed the anger.
I fell onto the bed again, closing my eyes and lying there like a corpse. Sure enough, it's still annoying, isn't it?
The traps were set farther and farther away, and Yunxiang unknowingly left the bamboo forest. Opposite the bamboo forest was a low sunny slope covered with large patches of passionflower.
Passion fruit can be found everywhere, including weeds, shrubs, and rocks.
Passion fruit, also known as passion fruit, is a fragrant and delicious fruit, known as the 'king of juice'.
Yun thought about her previous life, when she often bought passion fruit to make tea with. It tasted sweet and sour, with a rich flavor and pleasant aroma.
Passion fruit can also be made into juice with other fruits to enhance the taste and aroma.
Yun Xiang looked at the fields of passion fruit, but he didn't eat them right away. He wanted to sit down and enjoy them.
After more than a decade of hard work, she actually felt like taking a break for the first time. Was she infected? Yun Xiang felt a little complicated.
Xie Yu was lying there when he suddenly realized that he could not hear any sound. He stretched his limbs comfortably and closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened them again.
He stood up and listened carefully, but still no sound. He immediately jumped off the rock and went to look for someone.
"Buzz..." A small bird with bright feathers, a slender beak and a metallic luster all over its body was flapping its wings quickly and hovering under a passion flower.
It inserts its slender, sword-like beak into the corolla, and its tongue quickly extends from the front of its mouth to suck nectar.
Yun wanted to take out his bow and arrow, aiming at the bird, no, at the passion flower under the bird. "Swish!", the passion flower was pierced and inserted into the ground along with the arrow.
"Buzz..." "Buzz..." The little bird was frightened and flapped its wings more and more frequently, flying up, down, sideways, flipping, and backwards, as if performing acrobatics.
The sunlight shines on its smooth and delicate feathers, reflecting a myriad of colors that almost surpasses a rainbow.
After a burst of flying, the bird hovered in the air, glaring at the culprit who had cut off its food supply.
Realizing that Yunxiang meant no harm, he suddenly rushed towards her and sped around her.
"Buzz..."
"Ah... No, no, I'm dizzy, dizzy!" Yun Xiang covered her ears and begged for mercy immediately. The sound of flapping wings made her dizzy.
"Mutated knife-billed hummingbird?" The bird flew away immediately after hearing Xie Yu's voice.
"You scared it." Yun Xiang stated the fact in a calm tone.
When Xie Yu heard this, there was a hint of anger in his voice, "It bullied you, so I bully it!"
That's how the saying "three people make a tiger" came about~
“…”
"Let's go pick some fruit!"
"Such a big area!" Xie Yu looked frightened.
"I only pick the ripe ones. I don't want you to pick them all. I heard that people who don't use their limbs often will also have their brains degenerated."
"Oh? Are you praising my intelligence?"
"...Yes, then do you want to become smarter?
Yun Xiang stuffed the bamboo basket in his hand directly to him, "Magic weapon!"
Although Xie Yu was lazy, he was very efficient when he worked seriously. Yun Xiang was not bad either. The two of them worked together and picked all the ripe passion fruits, taking half each.
Afterwards, he put away the bamboo wine and accidentally filled the bamboo tube. It was another fruitful day, and Xie Yu felt that he was extremely lucky today.
When the two were looking for a place to stay, they met Chu Xu who was collecting firewood, and they joined him.
When they arrived at the place where they were staying, they found that there were quite a lot of people there, not just Xie Yu and his friends. Yun Xiang had no intention of coming into contact with these people, so he automatically separated from Xie Yu.
Yun wanted to set up the tent next to a tree, and dug a hole not far away, stuffed a few potatoes into the hole, covered it with soil, and made a fire on it, preparing to roast the potatoes.
She carefully controlled the fire, not letting it burn too strongly for fear of burning the potatoes.
Compared to others who cooked and grilled, Yun Xiang's meals seemed extremely shabby, but she enjoyed it.
Smelling the fragrance of potatoes, she put out the fire, dug up the ashes, shoveled away the covering soil, and saw the black potatoes in the hole. She was not in a hurry and prepared to take them out first.
It’s so hot! Every time Yunxiang took one, he would touch his ears and blow on his hands.
I remember when I was a child, my mother would do this every time she took sweet potatoes or potatoes from the bottom of the stove, as if doing so would prevent them from getting hot.
Yun Xiang also felt that he was no longer hot.
To be concerned about others means to repeat every little detail in their lives.
Pick up a potato and scrape off the burnt part with a knife to avoid it getting sticky all over when you eat it later.
After hanging one, she put it aside and continued to scrape another one. She was used to finishing the potatoes before enjoying them, but when she finished and turned around, she found that all the potatoes were dead.
"...Can you explain it?" Yun Xiang stared at Xie Yu with a pair of cat eyes.
Anyone who works hard to prepare dinner and then can't eat it would be angry. Where did this guy come from? Why didn't she notice it?
"I'm hungry!" Xie Yu rubbed his stomach pitifully.
"Shouldn't you ask the master for help when it comes to filling your stomach?" Yun Xiang retorted unhappily.
"So I'm looking for you!" Xie Yu said lazily.
Place your hands on both sides, lean your upper body back slightly, cross your legs and straighten them to make yourself sit more comfortably.
"You just agreed this morning, and now you're going to deny it?"
"What morning?" Yun Xiang looked confused. Compared to Yun Xiang's upright sitting posture, he really looked a little unkempt.
Although it looks lazy rather than sloppy.
"You really are so forgetful. Such a big trap, and you still want to - I'm so moved..."
"roll!"
"Okay..." Xie Yu immediately stood up and left, looking good-tempered.
After Xie Yu left, Yun Xiang discovered that there was a plate where he had just sat. In the middle of the plate was a roasted potato, surrounded by roasted chestnuts.
Did he mistake her for the unlucky cat?
Yun Xiang angrily peeled a chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth. Wow, it was so delicious!
It tasted like the walnuts and chestnuts she had eaten in her previous life, and Yun Xiang’s bad mood was immediately cured.
"Where have you been?" Chu Xu nudged Xie Yu with his elbow. How could he run so fast? He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
