Chapter 25 Hunting in the Mountains "By the way, in a while..."
"By the way, after Meng's injury has healed in a while, I'll have it come to see you. You can talk to it if you need anything then. It flies fast. If you're not used to it, I'll have it come to see you every day."
Having given all the necessary instructions, Lin Qing'an took out a bottle of spiritual spring water from his treasure bag and handed it to Lin Yanfeng.
"This, you can drink a sip if you feel unwell, if you accidentally get hurt, or if you're in a bad mood."
Lin Yanfeng, who was holding back tears, was suddenly amused by Lin Qing'an.
Her eyes were smiling, but tears kept streaming down her face.
"Brother, do you even know what this is supposed to cure? The way you're talking makes me feel like an alcoholic, taking a sip every now and then, haha..."
Lin Yanfeng was crying and laughing at the same time, with a thick nasal voice. Even the usually serious Lin Qing'an was amused by his behavior and burst into laughter.
The atmosphere of parting between the two brothers was thus unexpectedly resolved.
Before leaving, Lin Yanfeng hugged Lin Qing'an tightly, his voice hoarse as he said goodbye: "Brother, you must eat well, you're too thin. Brother-in-law and Auntie, don't overwork yourselves either. And Abao, he's suffered too much since he was little, please take good care of him. And Baifu..."
"Alright, alright..." Lin Qing'an pushed Lin Yanfeng away, gently punched him in the chest with her fist, and said, "Don't think too much. Just take care of yourself. We'll take care of everything at home, so don't worry!"
Lin Qingan, Chen Gengnian, and the village chief left the town at 1-3 PM.
This time when he went back, Lin Qing'an bought some more fabric to make clothes for Abao and the two of them.
All of his previous clothes were burned in the fire, including his and Chen Gengnian's wedding attire.
Lin Qingan felt extremely regretful when he thought about it.
When I got home, the wall on the left had been demolished, and a shallow foundation had been dug around the land next to it.
The workers were introduced by the village chief; they are not only reliable but also quick and efficient.
Chen Gengnian looked around and was quite satisfied.
It took more than ten days to complete the construction. The house has been expanded from three rooms to five, the courtyard wall has been reinforced and raised by two stories, and two peach trees have been planted in the courtyard. The whole house looks big and tall, and there will be no more worries about living in one room for each person.
These days, Lin Qing'an and Chen Yuetao are tending to the vegetable garden. The village head also brought news that Liu Deshui and the others have been sentenced. Liu Deshui is the main culprit and will be imprisoned for eight years, while Lin Cailian and Lin Ziping will be imprisoned for three and five years respectively.
This news did not affect Lin Qing'an and his group at all; they didn't want to waste any energy on such a person.
Since it wasn't the season for planting crops after the house was built, Lin Qing'an decided to go hunting in the mountains with Chen Gengnian.
Chen Gengnian originally didn't want to agree, but on the first day, A Meng came out of the magic bag.
Baifu was overjoyed when he came out, circling around Ameng like crazy, and even offered his doghouse to Ameng.
The once arrogant A Meng became much more easygoing. To thank Bai Fu, it did something unprecedented: it grabbed Bai Fu and flew around in a circle.
At first, Baifu barked in fright, which even startled Chen Yuetao. Lin Qingan said that A Meng was joking with it and observed it for a while before feeling relieved.
Baifu, after playing around, still clung to Ameng. Ameng flapped his wings and flew to the newly planted peach tree in the yard and wouldn't come down, just watching Baifu anxiously spinning around on the ground.
These past few days, Ah Bao has been putting on a brave face, but today he couldn't help but burst into laughter at the antics of these two clowns.
The next day, Lin Qingan and Chen Gengnian went into the mountains.
He was both excited and thrilled along the way. He had an amazing cheat code. Although A Meng said that he couldn't have the ability to see a thousand miles during this period, A Meng's own ability was still usable, and that was enough.
Ah Meng was actually a little excited and looking forward to it.
He used to hunt in the mountains with his master, but after his master took human form, he learned to cultivate the land. In addition, there have been explicit regulations prohibiting hunting in recent years, so he and his master can only hunt wild rabbits, and even the types of pheasants they can hunt are very few.
When Lin Qing'an was happy, he felt light and agile when walking, and he didn't feel tired at all when climbing the mountain.
Looking at Chen Gengnian, who seemed so light and carefree, Lin Qingan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Nian, do you usually go up the mountain like this?"
Lin Qing'an meant that this time they could stay at Baibaodai, but where did Chen Gengnian stay before?
Chen Gengnian naturally understood what he meant and explained with a smile, "There is a place to stay on the mountain. I built a house myself, and it has everything inside. You only need to bring some staple food."
Lin Qingan suddenly remembered some short videos he had watched before and blurted out, "Wilderness survival?"
"Hehe, more or less!"
Lin Qingan had to admire Chen Gengnian; he could always understand what Lin Qingan was saying, unless it was very modern language.
The two walked deeper into the mountains, chatting away.
The deeper they went, the more thorns and weeds they encountered. Chen Gengnian led the way with a machete, while Lin Qingan followed behind.
Suddenly, a flap of wings appeared, and Lin Qingan and Chen Gengnian looked over to see A Meng chasing a grayish wild rabbit.
Chen Gengnian was about to step forward to help, but before he could take a few steps, he saw A Meng bend down and pick up the rabbit, then turn around and fly towards them.
Chen Gengnian took the rabbit and praised A Meng.
Ah Meng arrogantly replied, "This is just an appetizer."
Lin Qingan and Chen Gengnian exchanged a smile and did not refute it. They naturally believed that what A Meng said was true or false, given his technical skills.
As they continued walking, Ah Meng caught three more rabbits, two pheasants, and a quail.
Lin Qing'an looked at the basket full of game in Chen Gengnian's back. They had already made a good harvest before even reaching their destination. He was so happy that he took out an old tape recorder from his treasure bag and played some good news.
Today is a good day!
May all your wishes come true!
The sudden noise startled Chen Gengnian, who quickly shielded Lin Qingan behind him and became alert.
"Hahahaha~" Lin Qingan was amused to death by his appearance and raised the tape recorder in his hand, saying, "Brother Nian, it's the tape recorder playing."
Chen Gengnian looked at the small cube in his hand, and sure enough, the voice was coming from that cube.
Today is a good day!
The tape recorder was still playing, adding a unique flavor to the quiet, deep forest.
A Meng couldn't stand it any longer, so he flew over to Chen Gengnian and tapped his head with his wing, indicating that "your husband actually has some problems with his brain."
Chen Gengnian looked at the talking A Meng, and then at the strange thing Lin Qingan was holding.
For a moment, he felt something was extremely strange.
After a brief period of entertainment, the two continued their journey. After resting twice and eating dry rations once more, Lin Qing'an finally saw the base that Chen Gengnian had mentioned.
He followed Chen Gengnian, panting, as they opened the door and entered the house. As soon as the gate opened, dust and tree fluff filled the air. Chen Gengnian used his sleeve to shield Lin Qing'an's head.
After entering, Chen Gengnian put down his basket, then picked up a machete and tapped around in the yard to make sure there was nothing there before finding a clean stone slab for Lin Qing'an to sit on, while he continued to walk into the house with the machete.
A-Meng wasn't idle either. Knowing that Chen Gengnian was inspecting and searching, he flew into the house as well.
Lin Qing'an looked at the small house. It was a simple house with a courtyard, just like the houses at the foot of the mountain. They all had high mud walls, and the gate was made of a few thin templates, which looked very sturdy.
There was a simple stove and water vat in the courtyard, both covered with thatched sheds. Though small, it had everything you needed.
A short while later, A-Meng and Chen Gengnian came out of the house.
Chen Gengnian was carrying a thick cotton quilt, while A Meng...
ah--
Lin Qing'an was so frightened by what was in its mouth that he took several steps back.
The reptile he fears most in his life—spicy strips.
"You, you, you, stay away from me..." Lin Qingan ran behind Chen Gengnian in a flash, grabbing Chen Gengnian's waist tightly and begging for help.
"Brother Nian, I'm scared, I'm scared of snakes..."
It was rare to see Lin Qing'an like this, and Chen Gengnian felt both enjoyment and delight.
Seeing that A Meng was still holding the blanket to scare Lin Qing'an, he threw the blanket in his hand onto the rope, turned around, bent down, picked up Lin Qing'an horizontally, and ran into the house.
Everything was done in one go, and Ah Meng was having a great time when the man suddenly slipped away.
Looking at the tightly closed door, and recalling Chen Gengnian's smug smile, it instantly understood something. It cursed him in its heart as shameless, then flapped its wings, picked up the two snakes, and flew away.
Chen Gengnian ran too fast, and Lin Qingan held tightly to Chen Gengnian's neck with both hands, afraid that he would fall.
As soon as the door closed, Lin Qing'an was about to let go when Chen Gengnian suddenly turned around, pinned Lin Qing'an against the door, and began to kiss her.
The kiss came so suddenly and passionately that Lin Qing'an didn't even have time to catch her breath before her teeth were pried open.
Chen Gengnian was too fierce, and Lin Qingan felt like he was about to suffocate.
I deeply regret what I've done these past few days.
They had done what happened the night before the fire twice more in the past few days, but each time Chen Gengnian took too long, so long that Lin Qingan's hands were so sore that he had no strength left and could not finish. As a result, he had only been able to release himself on the night before the fire.
The ruthless and vicious people plundered wildly, completely oblivious to the nature of the world.
Lin Qing'an was so out of breath that he had no choice but to grab the source of evil.
As expected, Chen Gengnian was stunned for a moment.
Lin Qingan was then able to turn his head away and look up to catch his breath.
The two, panting heavily, stared at each other, and it looked like things were about to escalate into a fight. Suddenly, Lin Qing'an let go of Chen Gengnian's hand and pushed him away, bouncing to the side and getting more than two meters away from him.
"No, no, no..." Lin Qing'an waved his hands frantically, "Brother Nian, don't do this, you can't indulge in debauchery for a hundred days."
As Chen Gengnian looked at Lin Qing'an's rosy lips, a surge of heat rose within him, and his eyes were filled with desire.
Lin Qing'an swallowed hard, then took a few steps back in fear. Just as he was about to crash into the stone bench behind him, Chen Gengnian hurriedly called out.
"Don't back down! There are stone benches behind you."
Lin Qingan then turned around and sat down on the spot.
The two stood some distance apart, and when they looked at each other again, they both smiled.
Chen Gengnian took a deep breath, leaned lazily against the door, and tucked the stray hairs that had fallen across his forehead behind his ear before apologizing to Lin Qingan with some embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."
Lin Qingan chuckled again. He looked down along Chen Gengnian's chest muscles and saw that a certain spot was still proudly erect. He whistled with a wicked grin, like a hooligan teasingly curling his lips.
"Good stuff, young man!"
