The two decided to go to the county town.
Feng Yijia said goodbye and continued to go up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs.
Meng Sheng stared at the man as he walked away, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the axe in his hand swung out a shadow.
The continuous banging sounds scared the cicadas that were chirping around into silence.
In a short while, the firewood on the ground piled up into a mountain.
After seeing enough, he stopped, lifted up his clothes to wipe the sweat from his head and face, turned around, holding the axe and followed the traces that Feng Yijia had just left to look for someone.
In a place surrounded by mountains, everyone has enough firewood as long as they are willing to work hard.
In addition, most villagers were busy harvesting corn and few people came to the woods. Meng Sheng walked very briskly, not worrying at all that the chopped firewood would be taken away by someone.
The place where we collected firewood was on the outskirts of the forest, so close that we could hear the occasional laughter of villagers passing by on the road outside.
Trees and shrubs do not grow densely because they have been cut down by people for many years.
After walking for only twenty minutes, the forest gradually became dense.
The sunlight pouring down from overhead turned into irregular spots of light.
There were also many more sounds of animals calling and running around.
In the past two years, conditions have improved and the villagers' daily needs can be met outside the mountains and forests. Except for the brave villagers who come in to dig a few traps and catch some wild animals by luck, they generally do not come here on purpose.
In his previous life, Meng Sheng worked in a collective and when the food he was given was not enough to survive, he followed others to such a deep forest to find wild fruits and vegetables to fill his stomach.
After being reborn, I have been busy running around. Today is my first time entering the mountains.
As he walked carefully, his eyes scanned the surroundings curiously and cautiously.
Then, two pheasants with bright fur, warily looking at the intruder, came into view near the bushes not far away.
Looking at the prey within reach, the hunting gene in the man's bones was instantly activated. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, the axe in his hand flew out with a whoosh.
Meng Sheng didn't think he could hit the target with this blow, but he didn't expect that he would kill two birds with one stone.
Looking at the two pheasants that were pinned under the axe, kicking their legs and flapping their wings, their movements becoming increasingly weaker, he was in disbelief for a moment.
Although the village is next to the mountains and pheasants are very common, they are also cunning creatures that can fly and run. In addition, the terrain in the mountains is uneven and there are many vegetation, making them difficult to chase. It is usually extremely difficult to catch them without bows, guns, and traps.
He never caught it once in his previous life.
Now it’s good, just one axe to kill both.
After being stunned for a moment, Meng Sheng was delighted and ran over happily to pick up the axe and the chicken.
I dug around a bit more and found a dozen pheasant eggs.
Since he had nothing to put the eggs in, he found some suitable vines and quickly weaved a basket that could be used but not looked at, and put the chickens and eggs in it.
After a while, Meng Sheng set off again with a basket in his left hand and an axe in his right hand.
The large wild beasts in the vicinity have been almost wiped out over the years, and this forest of moderate depth has become a paradise for small animals.
After walking for a few minutes, Meng Sheng saw another gray rabbit.
The axe in his hand cut through the air and flew out.
Of course, he missed. Seeing the rabbit quickly disappear into the bushes, Meng Sheng picked up the axe in disappointment and continued on his way.
Next, we saw seven pheasants, five rabbits, two badgers, a civet cat, and a musk deer.
He attacked without fail, sometimes he hit the target and sometimes he missed, but he gradually figured out some patterns and hit the target more often.
For example, based on the distance, one can judge the strength of the attack, predict the direction and speed of the prey's escape, and determine where the axe will land.
There are no animal protection laws now, so Meng Sheng played without any burden and in high spirits.
When he found Feng Yi's house, he had hidden some prey along the way, and his body was covered with large and small items. It didn't look like he had deliberately followed him into the mountains to get close to him.
Feng Yijia had already dug out a pile of Panax notoginseng with great effort. He felt that the backpack could not hold it any more. He stopped and squatted down to carefully remove the mud and impurities from the dug Panax notoginseng roots and put them into the backpack. When he looked up, he saw Meng Sheng coming towards him, fully dressed.
Their eyes met, and Meng Sheng pretended to be slightly surprised and greeted, "Are you digging for medicinal herbs here?"
Feng Yijia didn't think much of it. He nodded, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "Did you hunt all these prey?"
"Well, I threw it with an axe!" Meng Sheng said as he shook the bloody axe in his right hand.
Feng Yijia couldn't believe it: "Really? All of them?"
Meng Sheng nodded affirmatively: "Really! All of them!"
Feng Yijia:·······
He opened his mouth and looked up at the sky, feeling that it was very unfair.
Snakes, centipedes, scorpions and other animals are not difficult to catch as long as you know the trick and are brave enough.
But Feng Yijia tried several times to catch rabbits and badgers, which are good at running, but he couldn't catch a single hair.
He glanced at the person with envy, lowered his head and continued working, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
Meng Sheng was in a good mood. He put down all the prey on his body, walked closer and asked, "What are you digging?"
Feng Yijia: “37!”
Meng Sheng: "37?
This thing doesn't seem cheap, so many of them must be worth a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Feng Yijia looked up and glanced at the person who was getting closer and closer, but didn't say anything.
She worked hard to dig for a long time, but no matter how expensive it was, it was probably not worth half the value of the prey this man had obtained.
We were both reborn, so why are we so much worse than others in everything?
Could it be that God is petty and still holds a grudge against me for being disrespectful to him back then?
Meng Sheng didn't notice the resentment on the man's face at this time. He stood in front of Feng Yijia in a few steps, looking down at him. The most eye-catching thing was the dark top of his head and the large area of dazzling white under the slightly open collar on his chest.
Well, the scratches on it have healed, leaving some faint pink marks, like flowers blooming on the snow.
It makes people feel dry-mouthed and have impure thoughts.
Meng Shengqiang pulled his gaze back, turned around, took out a wild apple from his pocket and took a bite.
The slightly sour and astringent juice relieved the rising dryness in the body.
He didn't care that the taste was not very good and took several bites in a row.
Feng Yijia has been hanging out in the mountains recently, and he knows what the wild fruits nearby taste like and how ripe they are.
Hearing the crackling sound beside my ear, I looked up and saw the wild apples with green and red, and my teeth felt sore.
Yes, it has been almost two months since I was reborn, and those who used to think Chinese medicine was delicious have started to be picky about it.
After all, he got a large sum of money, so Feng Yijia threw away the injustice in his heart.
He took out two egg and chive pancakes from the cloth bag he had brought with him and handed them to Meng Sheng. "Wild apples are very sour. The more you eat, the hungrier you get. I have some pancakes here. You can have some. There's also some cold water on the ground over there that will quench your thirst!"
