Chapter 2: Hunting in the Mountains



"Good morning, I forgot to get you a change of clothes last night. There are some of my clothes in the box next to the bed. They may be a little big, so you can wear them for now. When we come back from the mountain, I'll take you to the county to buy two more sets."

Qi Yanxuan also wanted to go together. "Brother Shen, please take me with you to the mountain later. I want to go too."

After hearing this, Shen Yanqing looked at Qi Yanxuan's head, the meaning was self-evident.

"It's okay, my headache isn't there anymore, I just lost my memory, it won't affect my movements." After saying that, he touched his nose, feeling embarrassed for lying.

"Let's eat first." After saying that, he turned and went to the main room.

Qi Yanxuan raised his eyebrows, which meant it was okay!

He returned to his room and changed into Shen Yanqing's clothes. Qi Yanxuan was only 175cm tall, half a head shorter than Shen Yanqing. The navy blue suit looked baggy on him.

When I came to the main room and looked at Shen Yanqing sitting at the table, I realized that he was wearing the same clothes as me. I didn't pay much attention to it just now, but he was wearing black.

When Old Man Shen saw Qi Yanxuan coming, he called him to come over for dinner: "Ah Xuan is awake, come and eat."

"Okay, thank you uncle." Qi Yanxuan said obediently.

There were three bowls of porridge and a plate of pickles on the table.

It seems that this family is living in financial difficulty. I am afraid that my arrival will add burden to this family. I should find time to exchange the supplies in the space for silver. At least I have to be responsible for my own food, clothing and daily necessities.

After breakfast, Qi Yanxuan followed Shen Yanqing up the mountain.

Along the way, they met many villagers who went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. Everyone looked at Qi Yanxuan with short hair with some curiosity, and whispered to each other in groups of three or four.

Qi Yanxuan didn’t want to be treated like a monkey, so he pulled Shen Yanqing and walked away quickly.

When they arrived at a deserted place, Qi Yanxuan reluctantly let go of Shen Yanqing's hand.

No one knows that Qi Yanxuan actually likes men. He didn't meet anyone he liked before the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse, he spent all day killing zombies and completing missions. He is still single today.

There is a long way to go, so there is no need to rush.

When they arrived at the trap, while Shen Yanqing was checking to see if there was any prey, Qi Yanxuan said to him: “Brother Shen, I’ll go over there and take a look. I’ll come find you later.”

“Okay, don’t go too far,” Shen Yanqing warned.

After walking a distance, Qi Yanxuan released the blood-sucking vine and used his supernatural powers to communicate with the blood-sucking vine, letting it go out to find prey and drag it to him.

The blood-sucking vine received the order from its master and rushed out to look for prey.

This blood-sucking vine is a mutated plant that he subdued at the end of the world. It has accompanied him in battle countless times and is an expert in exploration and combat.

After a cup of tea, the blood-sucking vine dragged back a stupid roe deer. Qi Yanxuan commanded the blood-sucking vine to throw the roe deer onto a tree and kill it, then dragged it towards Shen Yanqing. The blood-sucking vine also drilled back into Qi Yanxuan's body.

Here, Shen Yanqing checked several traps and found them all empty. The last trap contained two pheasants and three rabbits.

As soon as I picked it up, I saw Qi Yanxuan dragging a roe deer towards me. I was a little surprised and asked, "Did you catch it?"

"No, I was just walking over there, and it bumped into a tree." Qi Yanxuan looked as if it wasn't his fault.

Shen Yanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing more, handed the two tied pheasants to Qi Yanxuan, took the roe deer from his hand and walked home.

After returning home, they put the prey into a backpack and walked towards the village entrance.

After getting on the ox cart, several old ladies on the cart stared at Qi Yanxuan. One of them, a plump and round lady, asked with a smile: "Yan Qing, is the person next to you your relative? How come I haven't seen him before?"

"Yes, my distant cousin." Shen Yanqing responded lightly.

Seeing that Shen Yanqing didn't want to talk, the aunties stopped talking.

An hour later we arrived in Qi County.

Shen Yanqing brought Qi Yanxuan to the back door of Ke Yunlai Restaurant. When the waiter saw that it was Shen Yanqing, he welcomed him in and then invited the shopkeeper over.

The shopkeeper was a chubby, kind-looking middle-aged man in his forties. He smiled when he saw the prey brought by Shen Yanqing.

"Brother Shen, I'll give you 100 coins for each pheasant, 200 coins for each rabbit, and 3 taels for the roe deer, so the total is 3 taels and 8 coins."

"Yeah." Shen Yanqing took the money and gave three taels of silver to Qi Yanxuan.

Qi Yanxuan didn't expect that he would give him the money, so he returned it. "Brother Shen, I should have paid for my food and lodging at your house. You don't have to give me this money. Just consider it as my food allowance."

Shen Yanqing didn't refuse after hearing what he said. He could just spend it on him when the time comes.

The two first went to the clothing shop to pick out two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for Qi Yanxuan, and then went to the rice shop to buy rice.

I bought thirty kilograms of brown rice and twenty kilograms of white flour and went to the gathering point at the city gate.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.

Qi Yanxuan entered the space, took a bath in the river, and then changed into the clothes he had bought today. He was wearing a green cross-collared long gown, which gave him the temperament of an ancient handsome man. However, the short hair on his head made him look out of place.

After showing off, Qi Yanxuan started to get down to business. He used his consciousness to take out a sixth-level purple crystal core and a green crystal core from the crystal core warehouse.

The purple crystal core is a lightning crystal core. He sat down cross-legged, held the purple crystal core in his hand, closed his eyes and began to absorb it. As the energy in the crystal core was absorbed, purple lightning lingered around Qi Yanxuan.

An hour later, the crystal core turned into powder and the lightning around it stopped flashing.

Then he picked up the green wood crystal core and absorbed it, and the bright green light filled his body.

Opening his eyes, Qi Yanxuan saw that the rice and wheat were ripe. He used his mind to harvest, husk, grind the wheat into flour, and bag it. Fortunately, all of this could be done with his mind, otherwise just hulling and grinding the wheat into flour would not be an easy task.

After doing all this, Qi Yanxuan left the space, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

next day

Qi Yanxuan was still sleeping when he heard the sound of knocking on the door outside the courtyard.
