This task is simple.
As long as he avoids contact with the female lead, everything will be fine. If he doesn't contact her, he won't offend Meng Xiang, and his younger brother won't die.
He believed that even without Ningmao, the female lead could still survive thanks to her protagonist aura.
However, the most important thing now is to catch this long-eared beast.
Otherwise, I'll have to eat grass tonight.
As the long-eared beast gradually approached its trap, a tiger suddenly rushed out and pounced on it. The tiger was two meters long, with sharp claws and great speed, and killed the long-eared beast in an instant.
Ning Hongze: "..."
What happened? What exactly occurred?
He waited so long to see this long-eared beast, and it's gone just like that?
The tiger seemed to notice Ning Hongze hiding behind the leaves. Suddenly, it gave a sinister smile to the corner, then straightened up, grabbed the long-eared beast with one paw, leaped over the bushes, and left.
Ning Hong felt a wave of dizziness; his long-eared beast had been taken away just like that.
However, he was not as strong as the tiger and was no match for it, so naturally he couldn't do those things that were like throwing an egg against a rock.
Even though the long-eared beast was being dragged away right in front of him.
At this moment, I wish I had the power from my past life, so I could dominate everything.
"System, can I purchase this superpower?" If he possessed such a flame that could melt anything in this era, even if he couldn't transform, he could still enjoy boundless glory.
"Okay, Red Lotus Karmic Fire, 5000 points."
"Who are you trying to fool? The Red Lotus Karmic Fire is red." How could such a magnificent hellfire possibly become a superpower?
At most, it's just a mutated spark.
The system remained silent.
Ning Hong was well aware of the system's nature, and his silence indicated that it had indeed been trying to trick him.
"Open the system shop."
Since I can't transform, I'd better buy some super-powerful pills first.
"Sorry, service is temporarily suspended on March 21. The system store is temporarily unavailable."
Waste system.
Damn system.
What use are you?
Ning Hong silently cursed the system in her heart.
He still maintained goodwill towards the system's family.
After all, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, right?
It was getting dark.
The hole he painstakingly dug is probably going to be wasted.
Ning Hong sighed and shook her head as she walked home.
I guess I won't be able to eat meat tonight.
It's such a disheartening thing.
He turned to the edge of the pond and used a fishing net woven from vines to catch two large fish as long as his arm.
It should be a fish.
Watching the fish open and close its mouth, its sharp teeth gleaming, Ning Hong expressionlessly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it down.
Damn it, this is a piranha!
If you get bitten by one, you might get tetanus.
I wonder how it tastes?
Whether it suits their taste or not.
However, cats still love to eat fish, so they should like it.
Ning Hong placed the fish in the basket she had woven herself and walked home.
Their home was in a backward village.
The village is not large, but because the population is not large, each person can be allocated two mu of private land to grow grain.
In many families, there are people who cannot transform themselves, and these lands are naturally taken care of by these people.
In the center of the village, there is a large square.
The ground in the square was worn smooth by the constant footsteps of people coming and going.
This is where the villagers gather. It's also where they meet when there's important news to announce.
When they saw Ning Hongze returning with a basket on his back, many people greeted him.
"Hey, Hongze, you're back?"
"Yes, let's go into the mountains and see what we can eat."
Ning Hong smiled faintly.
"So what did you find?"
"No, I just had some bad luck today. I only picked some wild vegetables and caught two fish." Ning Hong didn't hide anything, since neither wild vegetables nor fish were things they liked.
Upon hearing about fish and wild vegetables, a hint of sympathy appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Hongze, why don't you come with me? I can support you and your brother." A woman in a leopard-print leather jacket patted her chest; her muscles were well-developed. It was clear at a glance that she was quite capable.
This woman is called Cloud Leopard, and her animal form is that of a leopard.
Her movements were extremely fast.
Their hunting movements were also quite swift. People at this time valued their children highly, and of course, women were quite open-minded.
The women here have always taken pride in giving birth to strong men.
"No need, it's better for us brothers to be self-reliant." Ning Hong, carrying the fish, smiled and walked past them toward the east end of the village.
Although we didn't catch the long-eared beast, I think my little brother will be quite happy to have caught a fish.
Of course, what makes Ning Hong the happiest is that, judging from the time, it should be September, the golden autumn season, which is the harvest season.
In a few days, after the sacrificial ceremony, the altar can be opened and the grain distributed.
His time travel was perfectly timed.
"Brother?" When he arrived at the door of his family's straw house, he saw a thin, small boy sitting at the door staring at him.
The boy looked to be about twelve years old, with a pair of large, watery eyes.
It blinked as if it could speak.
So cute.
It's a pity he's only a younger brother.
"Little cat, I'm back. I caught two fish for you, and some wild vegetables."
Ning Hong didn't go into the room. Instead, she dug a hole at her door and processed the two fish she was holding right there at the entrance.
Although the fish was large, it was clear that it wasn't enough for either him or Ningmao.
For someone who cannot transform, he tried his best to participate in both group hunts and solo hunts.
The purpose was to stock up on more food for their home.
The same goes for Ningmao.
Despite being only twelve years old, because cats are small and can climb trees, he often helps the villagers by gathering fruits from high places.
In return, they would share some of the meat they had hunted with him.
Winter is coming soon.
They would have a hard time if they didn't store enough food for the winter.
"Brother, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Ning Hong shook her head; she really wasn't tired.
He had waited for a long time behind the leaves for that long-eared beast. He wasn't tired, just a little numb. Unfortunately, it was all for nothing.
Ning Hongze's expression changed several times. He raised the sharpened stone high and chopped off the fish's head with a sharp chop. He then cleaned the fish clean with deft movements.
He's a man with basic cooking skills; even with the simplest ingredients, he can still cook up a delicious meal.
