"Morning Master~"
"Master... Good morning..."
Cheese and Milk Tea also woke up, looking drowsy, but still more energetic than Lin Yuhui and Sugar.
The weather was beautiful today, the sun shining like beams onto the moist earth. If you looked closely, you could even make out a faint rainbow. A gentle breeze stirred the leaves, but there was no rustling.
According to the plan, Chen Cheng and others should leave the day after tomorrow. Although the camping was delayed for one day due to weather reasons, they can still catch up.
After quickly washing up and having breakfast, everyone packed up their camping gear and set off under the watchful eyes of Elder Lin.
There are also woods near Chen Cheng's house, but unlike Lin Yuhui's house, the woods near Lin Yuhui's house have a special camping area and certain protection measures, while the woods near Chen Cheng's house are purely wild forests, and you can often hear wolves howling at night.
After finding a good spot to park, Lin Yuhui got out of the car and looked at the long-lost forest in front of her. She couldn't help but sigh, "It hasn't changed at all..."
At first glance, there is a small path in the middle of the red forest. It is covered with red leaves. After being baptized by the sun, it is no longer wet and makes a rustling sound when you step on it.
Cheese, carrying a small travel bag, skipped and stepped on the leaves and took the lead. Once he had distanced himself from Shen Cheng and the others, he stopped, turned around with a bright smile, and waved to everyone.
Lin Yuhui and Shatang held hands all the way, and the scene seemed warm and harmonious, but the stiff expressions of the man and the cat seemed to be filled with tension.
Looking at the appearances of Lin Yuhui and Shatang, Nai Cha thought for a moment, then timidly walked to Chen Cheng's side and gently touched Chen Cheng's broad palm with her own little hand.
Noticing Milk Tea's movements, Shen Cheng turned around and smiled gently at her, then took the initiative to hold Milk Tea's slender hand.
Milk tea was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed. The little hand holding Chen Cheng's hand couldn't help but tightened. She lowered her head and smiled slightly.
The master's palm is so warm...
Feeling the warmth of the soft palm, Shen Cheng looked at the women in front of him, the smile on his face never faded.
The life I've long dreamed of...
When we arrived at the clearing in the woods specially used for setting up tents, it was already noon.
The flat land was covered with weeds and some old garbage half-buried in the soil. It was obvious that no one had camped here for a long time.
After setting up the tent, several people excitedly set out the barbecue tools.
"Master, master! Catch the fish, meow!" As soon as the grill was set up, Cheese ran over excitedly and pulled Shen Cheng's sleeve.
Chen Cheng turned around and saw Lin Yuhui, Shatang, and Naicha all concentrating on skewering meat. He nodded, greeted the girls, ruffled Cheese's hair, and said, "Let's go and see if there are any streams or rivers nearby."
"Okay meow!"
…
Soon, Chen Cheng and Cheese found a long, wide, winding, and crystal clear stream not far from the camping spot. From time to time, fish would jump out of the stream, splashing small pieces of water after falling into the water.
"Okay, let's add some ingredients to the barbecue today!" Shen Cheng's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, took off his coat and shoes and socks, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and stepped into the stream.
Cheese also imitated Chen Cheng and took off his coat and then his shoes and socks, revealing his delicate and crystal clear little feet.
After dipping his little feet into the stream and gently exploring, Cheese quickly pulled his feet back out: "It's so cool, meow!"
"It'll be fine once you get used to it!" Shen Cheng, who was in the stream, reached out his hand underwater like lightning and grabbed a small fish about three inches long. He threw it casually and accurately into the bucket on the shore: "One!"
"Wow! I want to play meow too!" Seeing this, Cheese didn't care whether the stream water was cold or not. He ran to Chen Cheng, wagging his tail and stepping on the water, and started catching fish by imitating Chen Cheng.
“Two!”
"Ichiyao!"
"Sanjo!"
"Two meows!"
"Three meows!"
"Cheese, that's my prey!"
"Stupid Master, meow!"
With a burst of playful noises, the man and the cat began to splash water on each other like children.
…
"Wow—" With a flash of light in his eyes, the charcoal in front of him immediately started to emit flames and began to burn, emitting a rich aroma of smoke.
After setting up the grill, Lin Yuhui raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She just happened to see Shen Cheng, who was only wearing a shirt and carrying a bucket in one hand, and Cheese, who was wearing two coats, walking back, both wet. Water droplets on their bodies were still falling to the ground, making a clicking sound.
Lin Yuhui's mouth twitched: "You two...did you fall into the river?"
Chen Cheng coughed awkwardly twice, while Cheese waved his arms, splashing water everywhere, and said happily: "Catching fish is so fun! Master, let's catch fish together again next time!"
With a faint smile, Shen Cheng rubbed Cheese's wet hair and said lovingly, "Okay."
"Okay, you two come and warm yourself by the fire. I just lit a fire here. Don't catch a cold, really..." Lin Yuhui crossed her arms and sighed helplessly.
The man and the cat trotted over to the grill and sat down. Shen Cheng looked around and asked, "Where are the sugar and milk tea?"
"Milk Tea heard that there were a lot of mushrooms nearby, so she took a small stick and went into the woods to pick mushrooms. Sugar was afraid that something might happen to Milk Tea in the woods, so she followed her. Alas, in the end, I was the only one left here watching over the barbecue grill." As she spoke, Lin Yuhui sighed like a resentful woman.
Shen Cheng: “…”
"Master, you're back!" At this time, the leaves on the side were pushed aside, and Milk Tea came out with a small stick for pushing leaves in one hand and a plastic bag full of mushrooms in the other. There were still a lot of leaves hanging on her long white hair. She shouted with surprise when she saw Chen Cheng.
"Are you not hurt?" Shen Cheng asked worriedly as he walked up to Nai Cha and picked the leaves out of her hair.
Seeing that Milk Tea shook her head to indicate that it was okay, Chen Cheng turned his gaze to the plastic bag in Milk Tea's hand and said with a little surprise: "It's full so quickly? It seems that there are quite a lot of mushrooms in this forest."
"It's just that our cat Huanya's eyesight is relatively good." Sugar came out from behind and continued, holding a snow-white... rabbit in his hand?
Shen Cheng blinked and pointed, "Where did this rabbit come from?"
Sand Sugar handed the rabbit to Chen Cheng and said calmly, “I encountered it when I was picking mushrooms with Milk Tea. When I saw it, I found that it was limping when running. I caught it with a light grab. It’s just enough to add to the dish.”
The rabbit seemed to understand and began to struggle violently.
Are you injured?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng took the rabbit. It seemed that due to its physical condition, the rabbit stopped struggling and became well-behaved and docile as soon as it fell into Shen Cheng's hands.
After inspecting the rabbit, Shen Cheng indeed found a new pink wound on one of its hind legs.
