Chapter 13: Wilderness

In the early morning, the sky was cloudy and rainy.

Rumble~ There were lightning and thunder, and the rain was pouring down. It has been falling since the second half of the night and has not stopped until now.

Fang Zhixing got up early and looked at the heavy rain outside, and his mood could not be cheerful.

He originally planned to go into the mountains to hunt today, but he didn't expect that something unexpected would happen.

"There's nothing to eat at home, so we have to go out even if it rains."

Fang Zhixing sighed softly.

He felt a little regretful that he should have found a way to store some food to deal with this situation.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Every time he went fishing in the river, he would eat as much as he caught, so that he would have enough energy to practice archery and swordsmanship.

There was no possibility of saving food.

The dog hesitated and said, "Without a raincoat, I will get wet in the rain when I go out. What if I get sick?"

In this backward ancient mountain village, if you get sick you have to endure it, otherwise you will die.

Fang Zhixing was naturally aware of this, but he was not sure how long the rain would last, and it was impossible for him to wait until the rain stopped.

What's more, even if the rain stopped, it might still rain when he was outside, and he couldn't avoid it.

A man and a dog went out in the rain.

The rain was very heavy and Fang Zhixing was soon soaked through, and the dog's fur was also wet and stuck to his body.

The roads in and out of the village are all dirt roads, and they become muddy after rain.

Fang Zhixing walked out of the village, one step deep and one step shallow, and went to the river to fish.

When we got to the river, we saw that the water level had risen sharply, the current was strong, the waves were rolling, and it was very turbulent.

"What the hell!"

Fang Zhixing stood on the shore, his hair stuck to his face, his face covered with rain.

We can’t go down to the river, it’s too dangerous.

The dog was also dumbfounded, and said in a voice transmission: "We are doomed now. We may not be able to go down to the river for the next few days."

Fang Zhixing gritted his teeth, turned back to the woods, picked some wild vegetables, and then went home.

When he got home, he quickly made a fire, dried his wet clothes, and cooked wild vegetables to barely fill his stomach.

In the afternoon, the rain didn't stop, but got heavier.

The village was full of puddles of water, like a vast ocean.

Fang Zhixing realized that the problem was serious. This rain was not ordinary, it was a natural disaster.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening and the rain was still falling.

Fang Zhixing and Xigou were hungry again.

"Tomorrow, no matter how heavy the rain is, we have to go into the mountains to hunt." Fang Zhixing sighed.

The thin dog looked listless and only hummed twice.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, Fang Zhixing woke up hungry. He saw that the sky was still gloomy, but the rain had stopped.

The temperature has dropped a lot and it's a bit chilly.

The man and the dog were overjoyed. They hurriedly took their hunting tools and went out into the mountains.

Not long after we walked, it began to drizzle again, making us feel chilly when the rain hit our bodies.

Xigou glanced at the direction Fang Zhixing was heading and asked in surprise, "Are you going to the hunting area occupied by Zhao Dahu and his men?"

Fang Zhixing nodded.

Xigou hesitated and said, "Aren't you afraid of something happening? Once a conflict breaks out between you and the old village chief's family, the Zhao family will have more people than you have arrows."

Fang Zhixing replied: "These days, the old village chief and his family should be busy occupying the Song family's money and food, and will not go out hunting."

Xigou thought about it and said hesitantly: "I hope so."

The man and the dog went deep into the mountains and walked a long way, estimated to be about eleven or twelve miles.

Fang Zhi was tired from walking, so he sat down under a big tree to rest.

"Oh, the dog is so tired." The thin dog was also tired from the walk. He lay on the ground, stuck out his tongue, and panted.

Hualala~~ Unlucky as it is, the rain suddenly got heavier.

Fang Zhixing looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds and thick lightning was tearing through the sky like an angry dragon.

"Let's go. We can't stay under the tree." Fang Zhixing stood up and had to move in the rain.

They found an angled rock and hid in a narrow place, which was just enough to shelter from the rain.

"Look, is that a field of wild strawberries?" The thin dog saw something and stretched his neck.

Fang Zhixing followed his gaze, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran over in two steps.

I saw a slope covered with upright shrubs, which were wild strawberries. The branches were full of red fruits, each one as big as a peanut.

Fang Zhixing quickly picked a wild strawberry and was about to put it in his mouth when he suddenly stopped.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Little dog, come here quickly." he called.

The little dog didn't want to get wet in the rain, so he shouted, "Pick them quickly. I can't help you if I go over there."

Fang Zhixing curled his lips, spread out his torn linen clothes to hold the fruits, and picked them quickly.

After a while, the wild strawberries in his arms became more and more, and he could no longer hold them all. He looked and found that more than half of the wild strawberries were still not picked.

Fang Zhixing turned back and sat down.

The puppy immediately jumped onto his lap and sniffed the wild strawberries. A sweet scent rushed to his head, making his mouth water.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing said, "Eat quickly."

The thin dog raised his head and bared his teeth, "What do you mean? Hasn't it always been you who ate first and I ate the leftovers?"

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "You discovered the wild strawberries, so you deserve a reward!"

"fart!"

The dog whined and bared its teeth, "You are afraid that wild strawberries are poisonous, so you use me as an experiment."

Fang Zhixing said calmly, "You dog, you just don't know how to appreciate good people. You always judge others by your own standards! Fine, fine, even if I want to use you as an experiment, so what? You have two lives, what are you afraid of!"

Xigou sneered and said, "Fang Zhixing, I will remember you this time."

After saying that, he opened his mouth, bit into a few wild strawberries, and ate them into his stomach.

"Hey, it's delicious, sour and sweet!" The little dog was excited and started to eat it voraciously.

Fang Zhixing watched, his stomach growling, and he kept swallowing, but he forced himself to hold it back.

“Oh, it’s delicious!”

"You don't want to eat?"

"You really don't want to eat?"

The little dog teased Fang Zhixing while eating and never got tired of it.

Fang Zhixing turned a deaf ear to him and waited for a long time. Only after making sure that nothing serious happened did he start eating.

Wild strawberries really taste good.

In other words, this was the first time Fang Zhixing had eaten fruit since he traveled to this world. It was simply a luxurious enjoyment.

He ate them all in one breath, relieved his hunger, and went to pick them a second time. He swept through a large field of wild strawberries and ate them all until he was about 60% full.

The rain is getting heavier.

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "After this rain, I'm afraid the disaster will be even more serious and the world will become even more chaotic."

Xi Gou pondered, "Do you remember the human trafficker Boss Qian? Look how well he is doing! I think we have to find a way out and not be trapped in Funiu Village."

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "We know nothing about the outside world. If we go out and run around aimlessly, our situation may become even more difficult."

Xigou said seriously, "We have to go to a big city. Powerful people live in the city. Let me tell you, if I were reincarnated as a human, I would still be very handsome. I could easily flirt with a rich woman and never have to worry about anything."
