The road to the back mountain is not easy to walk on.
Chen Che walked in front to lead the way, Chen Yao followed behind him, and Gu Lin walked at the end.
On a flat, safe but slightly slippery road, Chen Yao didn't walk well and "almost" fell into Gu Lin's arms twice, but he quickly blocked her with his hands to avoid close contact.
After trying twice and still getting the same result, Chen Yao gave up.
The system chuckled as if watching a play: "Host, I said the male protagonist of this small world is not easy to approach. Hehehe, is it really as difficult as I said?"
Chen Yao: ...
The further you go in, the quieter the forest becomes.
Chen Yao walked and looked, and soon saw some cute-looking mushrooms.
She walked towards a small cluster of them with a smile, and just as she reached out to pick them, she was stopped by a pair of strong hands.
Gu Lin grabbed Chen Yao's arm and said lightly: "Don't pick this, it's poisonous."
After saying that, he immediately let go of my hand.
Chen Che, who was carrying a basket in front, stopped and turned back after hearing Gu Lin's voice. When he saw the mushrooms in front of Chen Yao, he frowned.
I said to her, "Sister, this mushroom does look a lot like the edible red mushroom, but if you look closely, it has more particles on the surface."
Chen Yao took a look and found that it was indeed different, so she responded, "I understand, brother. I won't pick it like this."
Shen Che nodded and said, "Some of them are indeed hard to tell. It's okay. If you're not sure, you can let me take a look for you first."
…
After this incident, Chen Yao would ask the system to check before picking mushrooms, so as to avoid picking poisonous ones without knowing it.
After walking and stopping a few times to pick fruits, they walked deeper into the mountain, but it was not a deep mountain.
They didn't dare to go deep into the mountains. It would be very dangerous if they encountered a wild boar. In addition, they had to protect Chen Yao, so they couldn't take any risks easily.
As soon as he arrived at a secluded place, Shen Che began to concentrate on searching for wild pheasants and rabbits.
Gu Lin quietly picked up a stone half the size of his palm, held it in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sharp eagle-like look, and scanned carefully in the dark corners of the forest.
Sudden--
He saw a pheasant strolling leisurely behind the bushes. It seemed not to notice their arrival and continued walking casually.
He pursed his lips, stared at its location, estimated the distance it moved, gripped the stone in his hand, and prepared to find the right moment.
A few seconds later—
With a muffled "bang", the pheasant screamed several times and struggled continuously. Then, Shen Che, who was closest to it, took the opportunity to grab its claws and wings with a laugh and quickly tied it up.
After tying it up, he threw it into the bamboo basket behind him without hesitation and covered it up, not forgetting to thank Gu Lin: "Battalion Commander, you are really awesome. Following you, there is meat to eat."
Hearing this, Gu Lin raised his eyebrows lightly.
So, was this the reason why Chen Che asked him to go up the mountain with him?
Chen Yao, who was standing by, looked even more excited than Chen Che. She stretched out her hands, touched the basket behind Chen Che, and peeked inside through the gap to confirm that the pheasant was staying inside obediently. Then she looked at Gu Lin with a smile and praised him sweetly:
"Captain Gu, you're too powerful! With just one blow, the pheasant couldn't escape. What a strong hand!"
Gu Lin glanced at her excited little face and said nothing.
But then, his speed in searching for prey increased significantly.
In the end, there were three pheasants, a mother rabbit and four baby rabbits in their backpack.
It was Chen Yao who discovered this nest of rabbits. She asked the system to help stabilize them first, making it look like the mother rabbit was too weak to run away, and then asked Chen Che to help catch them, and asked him to try not to hurt them.
Chen Che hesitated for a moment, and while he was thinking about how to catch them, Gu Lin had already taken action quickly and put the whole nest of rabbits into his arms.
Seeing this, Chen Yao came over excitedly, and couldn't help but rub the furry little rabbit in Gu Lin's arms a few times, whispering:
"Little bunnies, you're so cute. Don't be afraid. We won't kill you today."
"You are still too young now. We will kill you after you have eaten and become fatter."
Gu Lin: ...
He lowered his head and looked at the bright and charming girl in front of him. She stroked the snow-white rabbit with a charming smile and said very...straightforward words.
Gu Lin pursed his lips and asked her, "Do you want to raise it?"
Chen Yao raised her eyes and smiled at him, "Of course, thank you Captain Gu for helping me catch them."
…
On the way back, Chen Yao picked a lot of mushrooms with great interest. She didn't go down the mountain until her backpack was full, feeling satisfied.
The feeling of returning with a full load is simply too good to be true. Chen Yao was in a very good mood all the way. This kind of experience of hunting in the wild is quite different from buying things. There is an inexplicable sense of freshness.
On the way, when she passed by a pepper tree, she suddenly stopped, pointed at it and said to Shen Che: "Brother, wait a minute, let's pick some to take back."
Shen Che followed her line of sight and saw a tree of bright red peppers.
He had never seen this before and was not very familiar with it, so he was a little confused: "Sister, what is this for?"
Chen Yao blurted out without thinking: "For frying rabbit."
Gu Lin: ...
It can be seen that Chen Che's sister really likes to eat rabbits. From the time she caught this litter of rabbits to now, she has mentioned eating rabbits several times.
Next time he has the chance, he will catch a few more fat rabbits and give them to their family as a thank you for taking care of him.
"For frying rabbit?" Chen Che asked.
"Yeah." Chen Yao nodded.
Then, thinking that this way of eating might not be common in this era, he added, "Someone in the village picked some of this and took it home to stir-fry cabbage. It was very fragrant. I thought that if I use it to stir-fry rabbit, it would also be very fragrant."
Chen Che believed in his sister's cooking skills unconditionally, so he put down the backpack and went to pick peppercorns with a smile.
Chen Yao followed him to pick the peppercorns, and Gu Lin found a few large leaves nearby to pick them for them.
When he came back, he suddenly heard Chen Yao's short cry of pain, and then he saw that her finger, which was pierced by the pepper thorns, was bleeding.

Rabbits are so cute, how can we eat them?
Yaoyao: Add more peppercorns, it will be more fragrant.
