Xia Lunong had never seen such a big rabbit.
This rabbit was bigger than a dog, and it had a horn on its head, similar to the horn of a yellow cow. With its red eyes, it looked very fierce.
Xia Lunong was stunned by the rabbit.
Kong Zhi turned around, "What are you looking at?"
Kong Zhi's breath sprayed lightly on Xia Lunong's neck. Xia Lunong subconsciously took a step back and almost slipped again.
Kong Zhi was quick to grab his thin wrist and pull him up. "Be careful!"
The sound was a bit loud, and the rabbit more than ten meters away was startled. Its long ears moved and it immediately ran away.
Xia Lunong focused almost all of her attention on the rabbit. She screamed in surprise, "Rabbit!"
Kong Zhi turned his body slightly and saw the rabbit that was about to run out of their sight.
He grabbed Xia Lunong's wrist and gently led her so that Xia Lunong could hold the tree next to him steadily.
The next second, he tore off his T-shirt and pants and turned into a giant golden eagle on the spot.
Xia Lunong only felt a gust of wind rising from the side, blowing towards him with the smell of pine, making him unable to open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Kong Zhi's figure had disappeared, and a golden eagle's cry rang out in the air, "Jie——"
Xia Lunong raised his head hard. In the dense pine forest, he soon lost track of Kong Zhi.
It only took a few seconds from the time he saw the rabbit to the time the rabbit was scared away, and then Kong Zhi changed into beast form to chase it.
Xia Lunong held the sack in his hand, looked at the mushrooms inside, and then looked at Kong Zhi's backpack and mushrooms next to him, and sighed quietly.
Beasts really have an advantage.
Xia Lunong didn't dare to walk around alone, so he just sat there and waited.
There was no strange smell or sound in the pine forest. There should be no large wild animals nearby. He was relatively safe here.
Kong Zhi didn't let him wait any longer. After about six or seven minutes, Kong Zhi called in the sky, and he looked up.
Kong Zhi's claws loosened, and a fat rabbit fell three or five meters away. It fell so hard that its mouth and nose were bleeding. It was breathing out more than breathing in. Its limbs twitched, and soon it stopped moving.
Xia Lunong climbed up a pine tree with one hand, holding a sack, and chased the rabbit that had been sliding down the hillside. He chased for several meters before he successfully lifted the rabbit up.
The rabbit must have weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms!
Xia Lunong was holding the rabbit with one hand, and was caught off guard, and almost sprained his waist.
He stretched out his hand and pulled until he grabbed the pine tree next to him, and barely maintained his balance.
Xia Lunong's eyes widened and he looked at the fat rabbit in front of him in surprise.
He was used to seeing skinny people and animals after the disaster, but this was the first time he saw such a fat rabbit.
There were even circles of fat under its smooth fur, almost like a swimming ring!
Xia Lunong dragged the rabbit back to the original place with one hand with some difficulty. When he looked up again, Kong Zhi disappeared again without knowing when, and there was a small piece of blue sky above his head.
Xia Lunong stuffed the rabbit into a sack and tied it up, then continued to wait there.
After a while, Kong Zhi threw down a colorful big bird, and after a "jie" cry, it flew away again.
The big bird hit the ground with a dull "dong" sound, and Xia Lunong went to pick it up again.
Xia Lunong took the big bird in his hand and found that it had an extra leg, but the rest of it was fine, with no changes.
The big bird was not dead yet, but it was almost dead, with only one breath left.
Xia Lunong weighed it and found that the big bird weighed at least ten pounds and was also very fat, at least fatter than the chickens he raised carefully at home.
This was a bit outrageous.
Xia Lunong glared, put the big bird back into the sack, and waited for the next one.
Kong Zhi flew back and forth several times, throwing rabbits or birds to Xia Lunong.
In the end, the sack contained two rabbits and five big birds.
Kong Zhi fell to the ground, folded his wings and turned back into human form.
Xia Lunong quickly gave him his clothes and pants.
Before he put on his clothes, Xia Lunong saw a small cut on his arm caused by a branch, and also on his back, both of which were still bleeding. She frowned and grabbed his wrist, saying, "The wound is still bleeding, we have to find some herbs."
Kong Zhi turned around and pressed the clothes on the largest cut on his back, saying, "It's okay, it will stop bleeding in a while."
Xia Lunong saw that he was covering his wound with his hands behind his back, and his posture was a little awkward. She quickly took his clothes and pressed them for him, "Were the rabbits particularly difficult to catch just now?"
Kong Zhi said, "It's okay, they all ran into the bushes. If they ran into the woods, I wouldn't be able to catch them."
Xia Lunong pressed him for a while and asked curiously, "Did you catch these birds in the bushes too?"
"Well, they are too big and too fat, so they can't fly much, they can only glide, and I caught them in a few strokes."
When Xia Lunong's hands were almost sore from pressing, Kong Zhi's back muscles moved and he said, "It's OK, no more bleeding."
He turned his hand to take his clothes.
Xia Lunong saw that his vest was soaked with blood, and reached out to stop him, saying uncomfortably, "Wet clothes are so uncomfortable, wear mine."
Xia Lunong was wearing two pieces of clothes, a T-shirt and a sunscreen jacket, which was just enough for Kong Zhi.
He hung the bloodstained clothes on the branches and was about to take off the clothes on his body.
Kong Zhi took the clothes back, shook them out and put them on, and said lightly, "It will be dry in a while."
Xia Lunong couldn't stop him in time, and stared at him for a moment, sighing in her heart.
Xia Lunong brought the sack of rabbits and birds to Kong Zhi, "We've harvested enough today, and you're injured again, why don't we go back first?"
"Are the mushrooms enough to eat?"
"Yes, at most I can eat a little less to taste the freshness, and come back next time." Xia Lunong said, "Safety is the most important."
Kong Zhi met his eyes, paused, and said, "It's not that dangerous, even if some wild animals come by, it's most likely to deliver food to us."
"You said high probability, isn't there a low probability event?" Xia Lunong wanted to sigh again, "Let's go."
Kong Zhi said lightly, "Pick for a while, and we'll go back after lunch."
Kong Zhi said as he took up the sack beside him.
Xia Lunong followed behind with her bag on her back. After observing for a while, she felt relieved when she saw that he really didn't seem to be forcing himself.
At lunch time, because Kong Zhi had transformed into a beast and gone hunting, he had consumed a lot of energy. Xia Lunong specially gave him half a box of lunch and forced him to eat the whole box and a half. After
the two of them finished their meal, they sat on the rocks, enjoying the breeze and staring at the mountain below.
From the hillside, they could see the tall wall outside the base, and even the people standing guard on the wall.
After looking for a long time, Xia Lunong suddenly said, "I never thought that I would still live this kind of life."
"I didn't think about it either." Kong Zhi said lightly, "Sometimes life is not suitable for deep thinking."
Xia Lunong looked at him sideways, "I always feel that you have a poetic temperament when you say this."
Kong Zhi said, "I misunderstood."
"Hahahaha, then you are a musician."
The two rested for a while and continued to look for mushrooms.
Xia Lunong now has some experience. If you want to find big and fat mushrooms, it is best to go to those shady and humid places.
Especially in places with a faint smell of rot, there are mushrooms in nine out of ten places.
They went around like this and soon picked a sack of mushrooms.
Xia Lunong opened the sack and looked inside. "Forget it, let's not pick any more mushrooms. These mushrooms are definitely enough for us to eat. If we pick too many, we won't be able to transport them back."
Kong Zhi had no objection. "Then let's go back."
The two climbed to a relatively open place. Kong Zhi changed back into beast form first. Xia Lunong tied today's harvest to him and also changed back into beast form.
In this way, the golden eagle only needs to carry the rabbit, bird and mushrooms on its back and hold a cat in its mouth to go back. The burden is not too heavy.
When they returned to the base, it was still early and everyone was working outside.
Xia Lunong locked up today's harvest at home and took Kong Zhi to Dr. Ou first, asking Dr. Ou to use his supernatural powers to heal Kong Zhi's injuries.
"The most serious one is the scratch on the back." Doctor Ou took a look and smiled at them, "In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't treat it. The orcs have a good physique. This scratch will heal in a week at most."
Xia Lunong looked at Doctor Ou, then at Kong Zhi, and said hesitantly, "It will hurt even after a week. Especially now in summer, we sweat from time to time, and take frequent showers. If it is not treated, it will probably get infected and inflamed easily. Please treat it."
Doctor Ou said, "Of course no problem, but it feels a bit wasteful."
Xia Lunong couldn't help but say, "How can it be a waste if it can make the patient feel better?"
Doctor Ou smiled good-temperedly, "That's right. Come, Kong Zhi, turn your back to me, I will input supernatural powers into you."
Kong Zhi turned his back in silence.
After Dr. Ou injected him with supernatural powers, he used gauze to wrap up the largest wound. "It should be healed tonight. Don't take a shower before the scab falls off." Kong Zhi
nodded.
Xia Lunong said, "I'll keep an eye on him."
"Okay." Dr. Ou said, "I won't prescribe oral medication. It's not necessary. Just for this treatment, you just need to give me 10 kilograms of rice or 8 kilograms of rice."
Xia Lunong didn't think it was a big deal that a wound that could heal itself in a week cost 8 kilograms of rice.
He pulled Kong Zhi back, "Let's send the prey to the canteen for processing first, and then ask them to pick out the edible mushrooms."
"Yes."
Xia Lunong turned her head, "The wild rabbit must be braised or dry-potted, otherwise it may have a strong smell. How do you want to eat this big bird?"
Kong Zhi thought for a while, "Let's make soup. I haven't had soup for a long time."
Xia Lunong narrowed her eyes, "Okay, wait for the kitchen staff to process it for us, and then I will use the big bird to make soup. It's just right to put some of the mushrooms we picked today in it. It guarantees to be delicious!"
Kong Zhi said, "I also want to eat dry-pot eggplant."
"No problem, let's arrange it! We can use the fat from the bird to stew the eggplant. In the past, gourmets stewed eggplants with chicken fat. They are all poultry, so we can try the fat from the bird."
Kong Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, "It sounds a bit greasy, let's have something refreshing."
"No problem." Xia Lunong snapped her fingers beside him, "We can have some smashed cucumbers, I'll make some mashed garlic and old vinegar, plus the refreshing cucumber, it will be the best way to relieve the greasiness!"
"Rice as the staple food?"
"Rice is fine." Xia Lunong said, "The staple food can be a little more fancy. I'll make some wontons later, and cut down some bird meat, and then chop up various mushrooms, and cook them in bird soup! The original soup will dissolve the original food."
After thinking about the staple food, this time Xia Lunong didn't wait for him to reply, "For fruit after the meal, let's have some watermelon. I think the watermelon is almost ripe. I'll input some supernatural powers to ripen it later."
Kong Zhi said from the side: "Using supernatural powers to ripen fruits again? Be careful that Brother Huo Qu will beat you up."
"Hahaha, don't you remember to keep it a secret?"
