Chapter 43 The Surprise in the Mountains Turns into a Horror
He didn't know that he had almost been drowned in Lin Luoxi's saliva just by saying one sentence.
In the distance, behind a large tree, a boy's expression turned thoughtful after hearing Lin Luoxi's words.
After hearing Lin Luoxi's string of fallacies, he smiled helplessly, then turned and disappeared into the mountains.
"Okay, I understand." From that moment on, Lin Wenqian not only stopped thinking that it was unlucky for a woman to have her period, but in the future, he even helped his wife wash her menstrual pads by hand.
After spouting a bunch of high-sounding principles, Lin Luoxi finally let Lin Wenqian off the hook when she saw that he was showing a good attitude in admitting his mistake.
After the two of them worked together to harvest all the motherwort in front of them, they continued their journey into the mountains.
"Coo coo, coo coo, coo coo..." Just as Lin Luoxi and Lin Wenqian were digging for matsutake mushrooms under the pine tree, the familiar sound came to their ears again.
"Second sister, does that sound like a pheasant?" Upon hearing the sound, Lin Wenqian quickly lowered his voice and excitedly told Lin Luoxi.
He ate chicken yesterday and thought it was the most delicious food in the world.
If we can catch a few more today, then my second sister's apprenticeship banquet tomorrow will be settled.
"Shh!" Lin Luoxi was afraid that Lin Wenqian would get too excited and scare the pheasants away. Judging from the sound, there were quite a few of them.
They first picked up a lot of pebbles from the ground before slowly crawling forward.
Seeing Lin Luoxi's cautious manner, Lin Wenqian followed suit and carefully crawled forward as well.
Only when she realized that she was already very close to the pheasant did she slowly look up.
When Lin Luoxi looked up, she was so happy she couldn't see her eyes.
There were about ten pheasants in front of us, all leisurely looking for food.
Each pheasant has beautiful plumage and a plump body, so it seems they are living well here.
God is so kind to her. Knowing that she doesn't have anything decent to offer for the apprenticeship banquet tomorrow, God sent her some food.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Lin Luoxi quickly stood up and launched the stones in her hand at the pheasants.
"Big Brother!" He reached out his hand to Lin Wenqian.
She had run out of stones, but then she realized that her actions had scared all the pheasants hiding in the grass out. Now that the number of pheasants had increased, she naturally didn't have enough stones left.
"Okay!" Lin Wenqian quickly handed the pebble he had just picked up to Lin Luoxi.
"This!" Lin Luoxi stared in disbelief at the pebble in her hand, which was as big as her fist. Was it really necessary to be so exaggerated?
If she could throw so many pebbles, she'd probably throw herself along with them.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I have some small pebbles here."
Upon seeing the cracks in Lin Luoxi's eyes, Lin Wenqian immediately realized what was happening and quickly handed the small pebble in his other hand to Lin Luoxi.
Lin Luoxi quickly threw the large stone in her hand, grabbed the stone from Lin Wenqian's other hand, and swiftly shot it at the startled pheasants that were trying to fly away.
Because of the slight delay, a few pheasants managed to escape.
"Let's go, we need to rescue those pheasants as quickly as possible." Before she could finish speaking, Lin Luoxi rushed out immediately.
"Okay!" This time, Lin Wenqian didn't dare to hold Lin Luoxi back and quickly ran towards the pheasants that Lin Luoxi had knocked down.
After a quarter of an hour, having searched all the places where the pheasants had appeared and made sure that no pheasants had been missed, the two carried the pheasants back to their baskets.
"Second sister, we've had quite a haul today..." Lin Wenqian weighed the number of pheasants in his hand and excitedly reported a number to Lin Luoxi.
"Well, I have seven of them too, and with the eight you have, we now have fifteen. We should be able to exchange them for some money!" Lin Luoxi said with a troubled expression.
"How many of these do you plan to prepare for tomorrow's apprenticeship banquet?" Lin Wenqian was also pondering.
"The apprenticeship banquet is just a matter between our family and the Yang family, two or three birds are enough, but I don't know the market price for pheasants in town."
Because his family was poor, Lin Wenqian had never been to town before, so he was naturally unaware of the market price of pheasants.
"Let's go, forget about these for now, let's keep going." These pheasants were no longer enough to satisfy Lin Luoxi's ambition.
"What? We have to go further in!" Lin Wenqian thought that after hunting so many pheasants, they could go back.
"It's still early, let's go further in, maybe we'll find something." Lin Luoxi made up her mind to go further in.
Her intuition told her that she was sure to have a great day.
"Big brother, don't you want to eat rice and steamed buns?" Seeing Lin Wenqian's thunderstruck expression, Lin Luoxi couldn't help but offer him a tempting offer.
"I want to, I dream about it." As soon as Lin Luoxi said this, Lin Wenqian perked up instantly. Without Lin Luoxi urging him, he stuffed the pheasant into his basket, quickly stood up, and strode forward with a proud and imposing air.
"This is the true spirit of the Lin family." Lin Luoxi smiled and sighed when she saw Lin Wenqian's appearance. She then shouldered her basket and chased after him.
While Lin Wenqian wasn't looking, she put all the pheasants in her basket into her spatial storage. There were herbs in the basket, so as long as Lin Wenqian didn't come to rummage through it, no one would notice that the pheasants were gone.
Not to mention, the deeper they went into the mountains, the more medicinal herbs they found there, enough for the brother and sister to have a good meal digging for.
The basket gradually filled with herbs, but they didn't encounter any wild game.
"Second sister, have you noticed that it seems to have become quieter around us?" Lin Wenqian was digging enthusiastically in front of a patch of deer antler grass when he suddenly felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet.
When they came in, there was a lot of birds chirping all around, so why did it suddenly become quiet?
"Shh, don't talk!" Lin Luoxi had already noticed that something was wrong. She squatted down quietly and solemnly, looking around silently.
"Hiss~" When she saw the head peeking out from behind the big tree, Lin Luoxi couldn't help but gasp.
Lin Wenqian also noticed that something was wrong with Lin Luoxi. He followed Lin Luoxi's gaze and gasped in shock.
So frightened, he sat down on the ground with a thud, his lips trembling.
"Second sister, what should we do? What should we do?" It seems they've been targeted by that thing. This time, they're really going to die in the mountains.
"Big brother, it's alright. You don't know martial arts. Just climb up that big tree as quickly as possible," Lin Luoxi said to Lin Wenqian, pointing to the big tree not far to their left.
"No, if I climb up there by myself, you'll be eaten by it."
