"There's another treasure chest there, containing a bottle of red wine and five wine glasses. The production team is really something, hiding and placing all sorts of strange and unusual things."
......
"There's another treasure chest here. It contains a bag of potatoes, probably three to five pounds!"
........
"We found a treasure chest here. It contains five catties of rice."
........
Cheng Yi led Li Yinsheng and Reba toward the place where he found the pheasant. Along the way, the effect of the lucky card was fully utilized. They could find treasure chests by looking up or by glancing casually among the weeds.
Along the way, they found nine treasure chests. Li Yinsheng found seven, while Dilraba and Cheng Yi each found one.
The items I got from the treasure chest were pretty good; there were potatoes, rice, and other edible staple foods.
"Fatty, you're so lucky! We found nine treasure chests in less than an hour following you. I really regret not being paired with you when I joined this show," Dilraba said to Li Yinsheng with a smile, her eyes full of envy and playfulness.
"Effort is more important than choice. I regret it too. Why didn't I team up with you, Fatty?" Cheng Yi joined in the teasing, his face beaming with a relaxed and cheerful smile. All his fatigue had vanished along with this "treasure hunt" journey.
The three walked and chatted, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"We're here, this is it." Soon, they arrived at the place where Cheng Yi had found the pheasant earlier.
This was an open meadow with sparse trees, offering a wide view—perfect for pheasants. Cheng Yi gently gestured for everyone to remain quiet, then cautiously approached the grass.
Suddenly, a brightly colored pheasant flew out of the grass, startling Dilraba so much that she almost cried out.
Li Yinsheng reacted swiftly, drawing her bow and sending an arrow flying through the air, piercing the stillness and hurtling towards the startled pheasant.
The pheasant seemed to sense the danger behind it and flapped its wings frantically, trying to escape the sudden threat of death, but it was all in vain.
With a "thud," the arrow pierced its body with perfect accuracy. The pheasant struggled in mid-air for a few moments before finally falling helplessly onto the grass not far away, scattering leaves everywhere.
There were three pheasants on each side, left and right. After hearing the commotion, they flapped their wings and scattered in all directions. But in Li Yinsheng's eyes, their panic and chaos became an opportunity for a new round of hunting.
"Reba, Cheng Yi, you two shoo them away from the left and right sides, and make these pheasants go together." Li Yinsheng stepped forward, drew her bow again, and gave the instructions without turning her head.
With a 'whoosh', another pheasant was shot by Li Yinsheng.
Upon hearing Li Yinsheng's instructions, Cheng Yi and Reba prepared to intercept the fleeing pheasant from behind.
Dilraba and Cheng Yi reacted quickly, their eyes fixed on the pheasants trying to escape from the other side, while they gripped a carefully chosen long stick and tapped it against the grass and the ground.
Drive the pheasants that were running away from both sides back to the middle.
The pheasants were even more panicked by the sudden pursuit. They had already lost their way due to the sudden threat, and now they were like frightened birds, running around in all directions but unable to escape the carefully designed encirclement.
Driven by them, the pheasants, which had been scattered, were gradually guided to the central area, which was the hunting ground where Li Yinsheng had been waiting.
Li Yinsheng's eyes gleamed with the calmness and keenness unique to hunters. She aimed again, the bowstring taut, as if one could hear the subtle vibrations in the air.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all attention was focused on the arrow she was about to release.
"Whoosh!" Another crisp sound pierced the air as the arrow streaked across the sky like lightning, hitting its target with perfect accuracy.
This time, the pheasant that was hit flew through the air in an arc before falling helplessly onto the grass. Seeing this, the other pheasants tried to find new escape routes, but by then they were already in dire straits.
Two more arrows followed, hitting two more pheasants.
One shot hit five pheasants, but two escaped.
The three stood on the ravaged grass, gazing at their spoils with satisfied smiles. Li Yinsheng put away her bow and arrows, gently patted Reba and Cheng Yi on the shoulder, and praised, "Well done."
Dilraba and Cheng Yi responded modestly, but felt incredibly proud of this affirmation. In this natural world full of challenges and opportunities, they not only caught prey, but also gained trust and friendship with each other.
Seeing this, Cheng Yi quickly stepped forward and picked up the pheasant that Li Yinsheng had shot.
He turned to look at Dilraba and Li Yinsheng, his eyes full of praise: "Good archery skills, Fatty, your reaction is really fast."
"Fatty, how are we going to eat these five pheasants?" Reba looked at the pheasants Cheng Yi was carrying, her eyes sparkling with excitement, thinking that she was going to have a big meal today.
"We now have pots and barbecue seasonings."
"We'll stew one pheasant with coconut chicken and eat it, and roast the remaining four. We can save the rest for breakfast tomorrow," Li Yinsheng replied.
"Okay, okay! We're going back now." Dilraba urged them to go back, eager to eat chicken.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be something here." Just as Li Yinsheng was walking back, she noticed something unusual about a patch of grass. She squatted down, walked over, and gently parted the grass.
They discovered a nest of eggs inside, eight in total.
However, looking at the eight wild eggs, Li Yinsheng noticed that two of them looked a bit off.
She picked up the two strange eggs, and her hand suddenly felt lighter; she immediately understood what was going on.
"These are wild eggs! Fatty, you're really perceptive! None of us noticed them, but you did. How did you find them?" Cheng Yi and Reba also saw Li Yinsheng's movements and went over to take a look. They were also pleasantly surprised by this unexpected discovery.
"There's something wrong with these two eggs."
Cheng Yi reached out and took the two light eggs from Li Yinsheng. He examined them carefully, then frowned slightly. "These two are indeed different. They're unusually light, like... they're empty?"
Dilraba curiously leaned over, took a closer look, and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is empty!"
"Is it a treasure chest?"
Finally, Dilraba and Cheng Yi exchanged a glance, their faces showing surprise and joy, and said in unison.
"What could possibly be hidden in such a small treasure chest? Quickly open it and see what's inside!" Dilraba urged, her tone somewhat shrewd.
"Fatty, you open it. If you're lucky, you'll find something good." Cheng Yi handed the two fake eggs, which resembled a treasure chest, to Li Yinsheng.
When Li Yinsheng opened the two fake eggs, she found that there was only a note inside each one.
