Chapter 136: Not a Human Thing

Yuan Ji tried to stop him instinctively, but the rack with game on it still fell into his hands.

The smell of game roasted by the fire, covered with soot, wafted into Yuan Ji's nose, and he almost threw it away.

"Miss Yu is right. Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. This game is delicious. You should eat some to replenish your physical strength so that you can better find herbs." Professor Zhang advised.

The main reason was that the game was roasted so deliciously. He didn't expect Miss Yu to be such a good cook. Without any conditions, she could roast the meat so deliciously with just a little salt.

Yu Wan also interrupted, "I don't know how many days it will take to find this herb. Maybe we will have to spend several days in the mountains. It's all because of these conditions. If you can't adapt, you shouldn't have come up in the first place. It would be better to stay in the village and lie down comfortably."

That being said, everyone knows that picking herbs is critical. If they are damaged in places that shouldn't be damaged, they will lose their medicinal properties. Therefore, the task of picking can only be completed by Professor Zhang and Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji was speechless, but he didn't want to eat this kind of barbecue. "Professor Zhang, you eat it. I'm not hungry."

He had just eaten some snacks and his appetite has never been high, so he really had no appetite.

Yu Wan snorted coldly and ignored this person. She just ate her own food. Before she finished eating, Young Master Yuan started to have a stomachache.

It's not a stomachache, but a stomachache.

Professor Zhang hurriedly gave him some medicine.

Yu Wan: The novel is really not deceiving, the ten overbearing CEOs

Nine stomach problems.

They were all picked out by the picky eater. In the city, it was no problem for him to eat a few bites a day, but this is mountain climbing. After climbing for a whole day, he only eats a few bites? If he doesn't feel pain, who else can he feel pain?

Yu Wan didn't say anything. She cooked the remaining rice in the pot into porridge, and tore the half-eaten game into strips, like hand-shredded chicken, and put them all in a bowl and stuffed them into his hands, "Eat."

Yuan Ji did not refuse this time. Perhaps he felt that his situation had affected the entire team. Thinking that everything was for the mission, he gritted his teeth and took a sip of porridge.

He thought it would be very uncomfortable, after all, he had never eaten such dirty and unclean things. He thought that even if he wanted to vomit, he would endure it. As a result, the fragrant and soft white porridge melted in his mouth. There was some chicken mixed in the porridge, which was fat but not greasy. A rich feeling filled his taste buds, which made him feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Yuan Ji himself found it incredible.

He has been a light eater since he was young, in other words, he never feels hungry.

Apart from eating, other things he wanted to do were easy to achieve, and he didn't have the determination to strive for the first place, so even if he knew that someone in the guild school had surpassed him in the exam last time, he didn't care.

Today, he experienced for the first time what it felt like to eat something delicious.

Obviously the conditions in this place are terrible and the porridge in the bowl is unhygienic, but the taste is exceptionally good and can stimulate his taste buds.

Yu Wan saw Young Master Yuan drink a bowl of porridge silently, and then couldn't help but glance at the porridge in the pot, as if he wanted to eat another bowl but was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

Is this the delicious taste of porridge?

Haha, the water in the mountains here is different. Everything cooked with this water is fragrant.

In addition, the conditions in the wild were harsh and people's desires were easily satisfied, but Yu Wan couldn't let him continue eating.

"You have a weak stomach, so you can't eat too much at once. Just one bowl tonight, and you can increase the amount tomorrow."

Yuan Ji's expression froze, and then he silently put down his bowl and chopsticks.

After dinner, everyone sat by the fire and chatted. The nights in the mountains were long and it was not good to go to bed too early, especially since someone was needed to keep watch.

Yuanji wants to go to the river to take a bath.

Yu Wan saw through his plan and said helplessly, "You can't take a shower in the mountains at night. The water is cold, and it's not safe. If you really can't stand it, just wait until daybreak and go down the mountain with others."

Yuan Ji frowned for a rare moment. He had never done such a thing as not taking a bath. How could he sleep without taking a bath?

Professor Zhang also advised, "Listen to Miss Yu. She is from here and knows the situation better than us. Just make do with it for one night."

It was very uncomfortable not being able to take a shower. After all, he had walked for such a long time during the day and was covered in sweat. Yuanji had never been so exhausted before.

Yu Wan has already started talking about her childhood. Someone asked her how she knew so many mushrooms.

"When I was young, my family was poor, so I often went to the mountains to look for food. The nearby places were all gone by other people, so I had to go deeper to look for it. One time, I got lost while searching, and had to sleep in the mountains at night."

Some people were surprised, "You lived alone in the mountains, how old were you at that time?"

Yu Wan thought for a moment and said, "At fourteen or fifteen years old, if I were to sleep alone in the mountains, I would just find a rock to sleep on."

Professor Zhang couldn't help but say, "This is too dangerous. What if there are insects or snakes?"

Yu Wan said, "We have herbal medicines here that are specifically for insects and snakes. I found some and spread them around and everything will be fine."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I was scared, but I was so tired that I slept all night and only found my way home the next day."

Everyone couldn't help but admire Yu Wan's courage. In a place like this, grown men like them wouldn't dare to sleep alone.

Yu Wan started talking to everyone about other things, and Yuan Ji actually listened to her slowly.

Originally he couldn't take a shower and felt physically and mentally uncomfortable, but as he listened, he gradually ignored his own feelings.

It is difficult for a person to empathize with a stranger, but it is different if you do things together. After all, you can see it with your own eyes and feel it personally.

In addition, Yuan Ji also discovered that Yu Wan was an optimistic person. She described many things that seemed incredible to him as if they were nothing in her eyes.

So what’s the big deal if you don’t take a shower for a night?

Yuan Ji tried hard to convince himself not to care about this matter, but after all, it was the first time he was so careless. Yuan Ji lay in the tent, tossing and turning, and did not sleep well the whole night.

If you don't sleep well, you will easily feel listless. Thinking about how long he would have to wait in such a rugged forest today, Yuan Ji felt like retreating for the first time.

After a brief pause, he himself was stunned for a moment.

Is this what withdrawal feels like?

Yuan Ji certainly would not back down. He casually glanced at Yu Wan who was still jumping around, and quickly calmed down.

As expected, it was another day of long journey. Although he took countless breaks in between, Yuan Ji still felt tired from the inside out.

For the first time, he thought, “This is not something a human should do.”

Fortunately, their hard work paid off and they finally found the first herb, but it was ten meters high and they had to climb up to pick it.

Let’s not talk about Yuan Ji’s mood, just talk about Professor Zhang, he almost felt weak in the knees.

After walking for so long, do we still have to climb so high to collect herbs?

It’s terrible!
