Chapter 46: Picnic

"Tick to tick..."
At midnight, a faint sound came from outside the window, Gu Changfeng's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes opened.
The cool night breeze mixed with moist and refreshing water vapor came in from the window, it turned out that it was raining.
The young man next to him put his hands on his waist and slept soundly. Gu Changfeng gently put the young man's hand down and got up to close the window.
Outside the window was pitch black but it was not silent. In addition to the sound of rain pattering on the window, there were also the chirping of insects, and the cicadas in the distant mountains could be faintly heard.
It's summer.
Gu Changfeng took off the fork that was supporting the window. The young man on the bed turned over and subconsciously reached out to hug the body beside him, but he was empty. He touched two of them without touching anyone, and frowned. . Seeing that he was about to open his eyes, Gu Changfeng hurried back and lay down on the bed.
The warm body came over, and Shen Yanbei, who slept in a daze, grabbed the person and hugged him to sleep.
The young man's warm breath sprayed on his shoulder blades, and Gu Changfeng felt very peaceful in his heart, and closed his eyes again.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. The sun dries up the moisture on the ground.
After Shen Yanbei got up, he went to the yard to punch. It rained last night and the leaves of fruits and vegetables in the backyard were shiny green. Long beans hung on the shelf vigorously, tomatoes and cucumbers were washed by the rain to make them more watery, and the newly grown corn hair and whiskers were fluttering and vigorous.
"Big Brother Shen early!" Su Qingze brought Ming An over for breakfast, saw the gratifying fruits and vegetables in the yard, and asked with interest: "When can these fruits and vegetables be picked?"
"The beans, cucumbers, greens and vegetables are all ready to eat, the tomatoes have to turn red, and the corn has to grow for another month." Shen Yanbei closed his fist and exhaled a turbid breath.
Su Qingze nodded and looked at the sky: "The weather is so good today, why don't we go up the mountain for a walk?" He had been thinking about it that day when he heard Zhou Yu talk about the wildness of the mountains in the bullock cart.
"Okay, go after breakfast." The air on the mountain is very fresh, and it's good to go for a walk in the mountains. In the future, the weather will be hot and there will be many mosquitoes on the mountain, so it is not good to go.
"Hmm!" Su Qingze replied, walking quickly into the house for breakfast.
Knowing that today he didn't need to practice basic skills but went to the mountains to play, Zhou Yu ran home to get a homemade bow and arrow, took a knife, and went up the mountain enthusiastically. Along the way, I happily introduced to a few people all kinds of fun in the mountains, and also taught them the experience of catching birds.
The three teenagers in straw hats were chirping like happy little sparrows along the way. Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng each carried a wicker basket and slowly followed behind.
In addition to tools such as a machete, rope, and other tools, the wicker basket also contains spices and pots. Today's lunch has to be settled on the mountain, it is difficult to have fun. Shen Yanbei thought about having a picnic, so he brought condiments and cooking utensils, and planned to collect local ingredients to make a special lunch.
Not long after it rained, the mountain was full of the fragrance of soil and vegetation, and the birds were jumping between the trees and it was very lively.
Following the example of Zhou Yu, Su Qingze picked up a long branch and swiped the grass on the side of the road with the branch as he walked. Suddenly he heard a strange sound coming from the grass, very weak like a milky cat.
Huh, what is it? Su Qingze's eyes were puzzled, stopped, turned and slashed away the grass...
"Ah--" Su Qingze paled, and yelled back.
"What's the matter?" Gu Changfeng stepped forward to protect him.
Su Qingze's eyes were full of disgust, and he hurriedly hugged his sturdy and powerful arms, pointed at the grass by the roadside and said: "There is a snake!"
Several people were taken aback, Zhou Yu grinned forward and slashed the grass away: "Don't be afraid, it's a grass snake! It's not poisonous and doesn't bite."
"It's disgusting!" Su Qingze shook the goose bumps on his body, "It's eating a frog!" That milky meow was made when the frog was dying and struggling in the snake's mouth!
Shen Yanbei couldn't laugh or cry: "It's okay, it's natural for snakes to eat frogs, just leave it alone."
Gu Changfeng patted Su Qingze on the shoulder, silently comforting. But the scene of the snake eating the frog was so shocking that Su Qingze couldn't forget it for a while, and he couldn't help feeling a little agitated until Zhou Yu chased towards a group of gray shadows with bright eyes.
"It's a pheasant!!!"
Su Qingze's depressed mood suddenly rose, and he looked around: "Where is it?"
Zhou Yu took his bow and arrow from behind, and drew up the arrow: "It's over there!" He walked toward the thatch pile that was half a meter high on the opposite side.
"Goo..." A pheasant with gorgeous feathers suddenly flew up from the grass, Zhou Yu quickly aimed at and released arrows. It's a pity that the arrow didn't hit, but flew over the pheasant. The pheasant fell into the grass and disappeared!
"Oh!" Zhou Yu cried out annoyed.
Gu Changfeng said quietly: "Insufficient arm strength, dissatisfaction with the bow, poor accuracy of the head, more practice is needed."
"Yes!" Zhou Yu immediately corrected his attitude.
"Lent me the bow!" Su Qingze was eager to try, his eyes fixed on the thatch, "Help me get the chicken out!"
Ming An ran over and ran wildly in the grass. For a moment, another gray pheasant flew up screaming.
"Shoo-" Su Qingze narrowed his eyes, loosened his hand, and shot the arrow out.
"Goo!" The pheasant screamed, waving its wings and struggling to fall to the ground.
"Master is amazing!" Ming An shouted and went to pick up the pheasant still fluttering on the ground.
Both Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng looked at Su Qingze in surprise, and the teenager smiled embarrassedly: "A Heng taught me how to shoot arrows. His archery skills are amazing!"
"You are also very good." Shen Yanbei smiled, and dragged Gu Changfeng into Mao Cao to hunt for treasure. It was the season for pheasants to multiply, and the gray pheasants were females. He estimated that there might be a chicken nest in the grass. Sure enough, after searching for a while, the two found two nests of wild eggs.
"A lot of eggs!" Su Qingze looked at the round wild eggs, full of joy.
"No matter how hard you work, our lunch will be over." Shen Yanbei carefully put the wild eggs into the basket. They traveled very smoothly today, and it didn't take long before they went up the mountain.
Zhou Yu pointed to the dense pine forest on the opposite side and said, "It rained last night, there must be mushrooms in the forest. Shall we go pick some mushrooms?"
"Walk around!" Su Qingze trot over and couldn't wait. The youth is getting thinner every day, and the pace is a lot brisk.
Shen Yanbei smiled and shook his head, and walked slowly with Gu Changfeng.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll make it for you later!" That pheasant is quite fat, weighing three or four catties! Later, I will find a few wild banana leaves to wrap up, bury them in the ground, and then make a fire on them and bake them.
Gu Changfeng nodded and exhorted: "Don't be too tired." This is the first time Shen Yanbei has walked such a long way after he has recovered. The youth is not tired, but he is still not at ease.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Yanbei raised an eyebrow and smiled. The smile contained other meanings, and Gu Changfeng's ears became hot.
"Oh! This mushroom is actually red! There are some snowflakes on it, so beautiful!"
Su Qingze's exclamation came from the front, and Shen Yanbei loudly reminded: "Some mushrooms are poisonous, don't move!"
Hearing this, the three of Su Qingze stood obediently, and Shen Yanbei walked over and took a look. A few red and colorful mushrooms that resembled red plums and snow among the rotten leaves stood quietly, frowning and saying: "This mushroom is mostly poisonous, it's best not to touch it. "This mushroom is very similar to the amanita he has seen before. He doesn't know if it is the same plant.
Su Qingze felt sorry, but several people, including Zhou Yu, couldn't determine which mushrooms were edible, Shen Yanbei said: "Forget it, go find something else, there is a lot of food in this mountain."
Suddenly Gu Changfeng waved his hand, and a stone flew out of his hand. His action was too abrupt, and several people couldn't help looking in the direction where the stone flew. I saw a big grey bird planted from mid-air...
"Grouse!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up.
"That's amazing!" Su Qingze stared at Gu Changfeng in admiration, "Brother Gu, do you know martial arts?"
Gu Changfeng didn't deny it. Su Qingze realized that this was a tacit consent, and the expression in his eyes became even more enthusiastic: "Brother Gu, do you really know martial arts?"
"Do you have internal strength? Can you fly away?"
"Do you use a knife or a sword?"
...
Su Qingze, who turned into a curious baby, kept asking questions, and Gu Changfeng answered one by one with a good temper. While talking, a group of people walked through the pine forest to a stream.
"There are fish!" Ming An exclaimed excitedly looking at the clear stream.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he pulled up his trousers in twos and then went into the water: "Look at me!"
Su Qingze didn't speak anymore, walked to the stream and stared into the water. The water surface reflected the red-faced teenager, and there were two palm-length fish under the water.
Zhou Yu's movements were very light, and he stopped moving after entering the water. The fish in the water didn't know the danger was imminent, and swam past his feet casually. Zhou Yu bent down and slowly plunged his hand into the water. When the fish passed by, he caught it suddenly, and the fish was really caught by him!
"Haha! Caught it!" Zhou Yu caught the fish, very happy.
"I'll try it too!" Su Qingze quickly took off his shoes and socks.
"Master, be careful, don't let the stone pierce your feet!" Ming An exhorted.
"It's okay!" Su Qingze stared at the water, and followed Zhou Yu's way of catching fish, but unfortunately he didn't catch it a few times. The boy was not discouraged, but thought of a way to surround a small pond with a stone, leaving a small gap specially, and then drove the fish in the direction of the small pond. This method really allowed him to catch the fish!
Shen Yanbei sat down on the rock next to him and took the water bag to Gu Changfeng. Gu Changfeng didn't feel thirsty, so he gave him a sip, and he took two sips from where Gu Changfeng was drinking. Gu Changfeng's face flushed slightly.
Looking up at the sky, it was getting late, and Shen Yanbei simply built a stove next to the stream with rocks, and was about to start cooking lunch: "We will work together later, Qingze Mingan will go pick firewood, and Zhou Yu will pick it. Just pick a few large banana leaves and seal them to chop the bamboo. I will kill the chickens. Please pay attention to your safety and don't go far! Call out if you have anything! "There are forests next to the firewood, and wild vegetables and plantains grow near the creek. The bamboo forest is not far away, so it is very convenient to make a fire and cook.
"Yes!" the three teenagers replied in unison, and walked away happily.
Shen Yanbei processed the fish first, and when Su Qingze Mingan came back from picking up the dry branches, he started a fire and boiled water. When Gu Changfeng returned from cutting the bamboo, he still carried a hare in his hand.
The breeze was blowing and the branches were swaying. The young people by the stream were talking and laughing around several bonfires, each holding a branch and a fish. The soup in the pot on the stove was gurgling, and a grouse and a hare were roasted on the fire next to each other. The chicken and the rabbit were roasted golden all over, and there was oily ground in the fire from time to time. The sound of scoffing. The scent flowed with the wind and drifted away, and the greedy teenagers who had just eaten the fish and were not in trouble kept saying hello.
Seeing that it is almost roasted, Shen Yanbei brushed a layer of seasoning on the chicken and rabbit and pushed the heat away.
"Can you eat it?" Zhou Yu swallowed. Su Qingze and Ming An also looked forward to it.
"Okay, it's time for dinner!" Shen Yanbei laughed and gave each of the teenagers and Gu Changfeng a drumstick.
Gu Changfeng handed the chicken legs to Shen Yanbei: "You eat."
Shen Yanbei did not delay, grabbing his hand, tearing off a small piece of chicken, chewing it, and saying, "It's okay."
Gu Changfeng was taken aback, and Shen Yanbei had brought the chicken thigh to his mouth and chuckled, "Eat, there is a chicken underneath."
"Yeah." Gu Changfeng lowered his eyes and took a bite at the place where Shen Yanbei had bitten.
"It's delicious!" Zhou Yu hugged the chicken wings impatiently and ate his mouth full of oil. Su Qingze and Mingan were relatively gentle, but the expressions on those faces were exactly the same as Zhou Yu.
Several people were eating the barbecue while drinking the wild vegetable and egg soup in the bamboo tube. They were very satisfied.
At this moment, a sound of earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the mountain, and Su Qingze shook his hand, leaving a bone-in chicken leg to the ground. Gu Changfeng's face changed suddenly, and he quickly grabbed the hatchet: "Run!"
"What...what?" The three of them didn't know, but Gu Changfeng's face was solemn, and Shen Yanbei's brows wrinkled, before he had time to ask, he ran away.
A huge black bear with dark hair shining brightly in the sunlight suddenly jumped from the forest to the place where a few people were just sitting and eating meat.
"My mother..." Isn't this black blind man being greedy? I saw the black bear sniffing the bones of the ground, and then grinning, the crystal-clear halazi dripping to the ground. Zhou Yu couldn't help being dumbfounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black bear raised his head and shot at him like a sword.
Zhou Yu shivered, and the black bear stared at him, with all his limbs exerting force, he actually caught up with him.
"!!!" Zhou Yu's eyes widened, feeling a bit soft in his legs. The black bear looked huge and bloated, but it ran extremely fast, and the four thick and strong legs together were several meters!
"Zhou Yu, run!" Shen Yanbei shouted, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. The speed of the bear is very fast, and people simply cannot win. But this bear has found them and will die if it doesn't run! There may be a chance of survival if you run!
"You climb the tree! I'll get him away!" Gu Changfeng rushed to face the black bear with a machete.
"Be careful!" Shen Yanbei said with red eyes.
Gu Changfeng looked back at him deeply, the muscles of his arms were tight.
"Ah—" The black bear rushed to the front within a short while, and leaped forward with a big scary mouth. Zhou Yu's pupils shrank and he yelled in fright.
With a hatchet, Gu Changfeng arrived in time.
"Oh--" After Gu Changfeng's knife, the black bear jumped into a thunder, and yelled, pulling up his forelimbs and patted Gu Changfeng. Gu Changfeng flashed, avoiding its sharp claws.
The black bear has thick skin and thick flesh, and this chopper didn't do much to him.
"Master!" Suddenly Mingan called out in a panic. It turned out that Su Qingze tripped over a stone.
The black bear barked his teeth and roared at Gu Changfeng, then turned and ran towards Su Qingze. Ming An hurriedly helped Su Qingze to run, but Su Qingze sprained his ankle and couldn't walk at all. Gu Changfeng used his feet and jumped in front of the two to block the black bear. The black bear entangled with him impatiently, raised his paws and scratched angrily while opening his fangs to bite.
The strength of the black bear was amazing, and it was a bit difficult for Gu Changfeng to protect the two behind him.
"Attack its eyes!" Shen Yanbei shouted to Zhou Yu: "Throw your knife over!"
Zhou Yu, sweating profusely, hurriedly pulled the knife out of his leg: "Master, catch it!" He threw the knife over.
Gu Changfeng used ten layers of force to kick the black bear's hideous head fiercely. The black bear took a few steps back from the pain, and Gu Changfeng took advantage of the force to take advantage of the trend and flipped backwards. On the ground, he fished it and grabbed the knife in his hand.
Shen Yanbei couldn't admire the handsome action, and only raised his throat with one heart.
The black bear stabilized his body, roared with his head held high, and suddenly exerted force, rushing over like a cannonball. Gu Changfeng sullenly held the knife without retreating, but went straight to the black bear.
The black bear's claws swept across, Gu Chang's head tilted, one foot on the black bear's belly, and he jumped up--
"Aw--" The sharp knife was inserted deeply into the black bear's eyes, and the black bear roared sternly, deafeningly. Before Gu Changfeng had time to retreat, the violent black bear swept over with a mad paw
"Chang Feng!" Shen Yan was about to split in Bei Jia.
"Yeah!" Gu Changfeng snorted, his chest surged with blood, and a bloodshot slid down the corner of his mouth. He frowned, wiped it with his hands, and dried the blood on the corners of his mouth.
"Chang Feng..." Shen Yanbei clenched his fist tightly, distressed.
The black bear was furious and pounced on Gu Changfeng again. Gu Changfeng pressed his lips tightly and attacked its injured eyes. The black bear roared again and again, shocking the wild.
"Asshole!" Shen Yanbei gritted his teeth, and ran back to the place where he was just cooking.
"Long seal!"
As soon as Gu Changfeng turned his head, he met the cold eyes of the young man, and Shen Yanbei shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Gu Changfeng's heart tightened, and he turned sideways to avoid the black bear's bite. Shen Yan raised his hand in the north, and the off-white powder in the paper bag scattered and floated directly to the black bear's front door. The furious black bear suddenly stagnated, and his huge body trembled, and it was actually "hitching" constantly sneezing and spitting.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Changfeng picked up the hatchet before and smashed it with all his strength.
"Ah--" The black bear let out a creepy hiss, dying and swiping wildly, with extremely fierce and swift movements. Shen Yanbei didn't have time to run far, and he was about to be caught by the bear.
Yanbei! Gu Changfeng's eyes trembled, and he rushed forward, hugging him and rolling aside. It just so happened that this was a hillside, and Gu Changfeng and Shen Yanbei rolled directly down the hillside. There were a lot of weeds and rocks on the hillside. Gu Changfeng hugged the young man tightly and tried to protect him, but he slammed his head on the stone and passed out.
"Long seal!!!"
