Chapter 52

Huanhuan thought that when Chu Jingchen said "we'll be there in a quarter of an hour", he meant that there was prey not far ahead, so he followed.

Two quarters of an hour later, the originally upward mountain road descended suddenly, and not far down, the line of sight that was originally blocked by lush vegetation suddenly opened up, and a pool of water suddenly came into view.

Huanhuan rubbed his eyes, and looked at the pool not far away in disbelief: "Brother Atu, how...how can there be water in this deep mountain?"

"do not know."

Perhaps this is the magic of nature.

Huanhuan observed the surrounding environment, and then asked: "Brother Atu, this place is so hidden, how did you find it here?"

The hunters in the village would go to the mountain together with the hunters from the neighboring village every year during the slack season, but it seems that the hunters have never heard that there is a pond in the deep mountain, and those hunters who want to come don’t know this place.

Of course it was impossible for Chu Jingchen to tell her that he had discovered this source of water before Dufa met her last time.

With the short knife in his hand, he split the weeds blocking the way, took her to a relatively flat place, and then put the pheasant at her feet: "Wait for me here, don't run around."

"Oh." Huanhuan responded obediently.

Huanhuan's gaze closely followed Chu Jingchen, who saw him cut a tree fork with a short knife, then walked to the edge of the pool, staring at the surface of the pool without moving.

In just a moment, Huanhuan saw him bring up three fish.

There are fish in the pond!
I couldn't close my mouth with joy.

You know, since she came here, she hasn't tasted the smell of fish yet!
Chu Jingchen harpooned eight or nine fish in one breath before giving up. Throwing away the tree fork, he pulled a few tough grass vines nearby to string the fish up.

"Brother Atu, you've worked hard." Seeing him come back, Huanhuan raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat: "Brother Atu, aren't there a lot of fish in the pond?"

There is only one fork, and there are a lot of fish in the pond. Will they come here more often in the future?
Chu Jingchen moved his head back slightly, his face full of disgust: "Dirty!"

Huanhuan looked at her cuff, and then retracted embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I got dirty when I picked up the moss just now."

"It's getting late, let's go back." Chu Jingchen held the fish in one hand and the pheasant in the other, and walked out ahead of her, not forgetting to tell him, "Follow."

The average fish that Chu Jingchen brought up weighed four to five catties, and eight or nine fish weighed more than 40 catties, but a little weight was nothing to him. He walked very fast, and Huanhuan had to trot to keep up.

As soon as Huanhuan entered the courtyard, he saw Qi Lin sitting down under the eaves of the outer courtyard, panting heavily, while Wu Bo was standing next to him, lifting his clothes and fanning him.

Huanhuan stepped forward to look at the two of them, and seeing that Wu Bo was also sweating profusely, he couldn't help wondering, "Why did you go there?"

"Sister, didn't you go up the mountain? Brother Qi and I went to the mountain to look for you. We searched the entire mountain and found you. You just came back." Wu Bo said depressedly.

Qi Lin, the eldest young master, has never traveled such a long distance before, and he still went up the mountain. When he went down the mountain, his legs were shaking like sieves. In the end, he returned home with Wu Bo's support. He was already too tired to say I am speechless.

They actually went up the mountain to find her?
"We went up the mountain." Huanhuan turned his eyes and smiled, "But then I went to catch fish with brother Atu again."

"Ah?" Wu Bo almost cried: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
