As if to confirm Lu Fan's words, a wilderness survival announcement suddenly rang out.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
[Chinese player Ling Yue triggers 10,000x return]
[Hawthorn 14 Ten Million]
[Coptis chinensis 20 million]
[Pheasant*Ten Million]
...
Upon hearing the announcement, Lu Fan's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and he excitedly said, "I knew it! You can tell how good Brother Ling is just by his actions!"
An Lan was relieved, and a smile returned to her face.
The two then walked towards the villa while talking, and soon returned to the vicinity of the villa.
From afar, they saw Big Black squatting at the door, a piece of jerky dangling from his mouth, his head drooping, gazing into the distance with a dejected expression, looking utterly forlorn.
Clearly, its "White Wolf Goddess" was not moved by its sincerity.
"Hey, Big Black, are you heartbroken?"
Lu Fan stepped forward, a teasing smile on his face, and reached out to pat Dahei's head.
Big Black raised its head, its eyes filled with resentment, and let out a soft whimper, as if to say, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't scared away the white wolf, I might be having dinner with it by now."
An Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She squatted down, gently patted Da Hei's head, and softly comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, Da Hei. You have to be patient when you're pursuing a girl. Try again next time. You're so handsome and sincere, you'll definitely win her heart."
Dahei seemed to understand An Lan's words. Its tail, which had been hanging low, swayed gently, and a glimmer of hope appeared in its dim eyes.
Lu Fan put the watermelon on the ground, clapped his hands, and said enthusiastically, "Alright, let's forget about Dahei's 'love story' for now and hurry up and process the watermelon. When Brother Ling comes back, we'll have a good meal together."
An Lan nodded in agreement, and the two immediately got to work.
Lu Fan found a knife in the kitchen and skillfully cut the watermelon open.
In an instant, the bright red flesh of the melon looked especially tempting under the setting sun, and the juice flowed down the blade, filling the air with a sweet aroma.
"Hmm~ This watermelon looks really good!" An Lan took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Fan smiled smugly, picked up a piece and handed it to An Lan, his face beaming with pride: "Try it, this was picked by our own hands, absolutely fresh, pure natural and pollution-free."
An Lan took the watermelon, took a small bite, and her eyes lit up instantly, her face showing a look of surprise: "So sweet! This is the sweetest watermelon I've ever eaten."
Lu Fan also picked up a piece, took a big bite, and the juice overflowed, filling his mouth with a sweet taste. He smacked his lips in satisfaction: "Indeed, all-natural is great."
The two were enjoying their meal when they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Lu Fan subconsciously looked up and saw Ling Yue walking out of the woods, carrying a plump pheasant in his hand, and his small leather bag at his waist was bulging, clearly indicating a good haul.
He had a faint smile on his face and looked very energetic.
"Brother Ling, you're finally back! Come and eat some watermelon." Lu Fan greeted him with a smile and warmly offered him a slice of watermelon.
Ling Yue walked up to them, put the pheasant on the ground, dusted off his hands, and said with a smile, "Not bad, you even found watermelons. Looks like you've had a good haul today."
He then took the watermelon and took a bite. The juice instantly burst in his mouth, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Mmm, so sweet! This watermelon is a good choice."
Night fell like a large, soft black silk ribbon, slowly covering the entire world.
The three sat around in the villa's courtyard, bathed in warm yellow light that outlined a cozy silhouette around them, like a serene oil painting.
Ling Yue skillfully manipulated the charcoal fire. The leaping flames, like tamed spirits, burned brighter and brighter under his command, crackling and frolicking as if they too were eagerly anticipating the upcoming feast.
Lu Fan showed off his skills at the table next to him, the kitchen knife in his hand rising and falling on the cutting board, making a rhythmic "clattering" sound.
Before long, the sliced meat was neatly stacked into several piles on the cutting board, each slice of meat being almost the same thickness, which showed his skillful knife work.
He picked up a bamboo skewer, humming a little tune, and skillfully skewered the meat slices one by one with his nimble fingers. His movements were as practiced as those of a skilled craftsman, and each skewer of meat was tightly and evenly strung.
Anlan, like a busy little bee, shuttled back and forth between the kitchen and the yard, keeping herself very busy.
Her hands seemed to have magic powers; in no time, the table in the yard was filled with all kinds of seafood: shrimp, crabs, and shellfish that exuded the scent of the sea.
In addition, she carefully selected many fresh fruits.
Bright red apples, golden oranges, and glistening purple grapes, along with the previously sliced watermelon, create a colorful and visually appealing display that makes your mouth water.
The three exchanged a smile, needing no further words; their tacit understanding was evident in that moment.
Tonight, they decided to leave all their worries behind and enjoy this delicious barbecue, savoring this rare moment of relaxation.
The charcoal fire burned brightly, warming the surrounding air and creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The three of them placed the skewered meat and seafood on the grill. Soon, the oil dripped onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound, accompanied by an enticing aroma.
It's a perfect blend of the aromas of meat, seafood, and charcoal, making it irresistible.
Ling Yue picked up a bottle of baijiu from the side, poured himself a small glass, and gently swirled the clear liquid in the glass, emitting a mellow aroma that was rich and lingering, as if carrying the sedimentation of time.
Lu Fan and An Lan picked up their fruit wine glasses. The light pink wine rippled in the glass, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, exuding a fresh fruity fragrance that was refreshing to smell.
Lu Fan was busy by the grill when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he picked up a few golden-brown oysters from the grill.
The oysters were still steaming from their shells, and the tender oyster meat looked especially tempting with the addition of minced garlic and chopped green onions.
The aroma of garlic blends perfectly with the freshness of oyster meat, making your mouth water just looking at it.
He nudged Ling Yue with his elbow, a mysterious smile on his face, gesturing for him to try it: "Brother Ling, try this, it's a pure wild oyster, very rare, the taste is absolutely amazing!"
Ling Yue waved his hand with a smile and teased, "I wouldn't dare. If I overeat, I'll be counting stars with my eyes open all night. You two should eat more; you're still growing."
