I'm brushing proficiency in the realm of comprehension

Chapter 9 Down the mountain to eat meat!

The next road.

The two became more cautious.

There were no accidents until the evening.

Zhou You finally caught two fish in a stream.

I was thinking of grabbing a few more.

As a result, the sound of rumbling footsteps came from a distance, which scared the two people away.

The place next to the water source is always the most dangerous place.

Zhou You took a hoe and cleaned the fish scales little by little.

I showed Zhang Yuan again, the little trick of drilling wood to make fire. It is not too simple for a monk to do this kind of thing.

Each of the two skewered the fish with a twig and grilled it.

Although there is no oil, salt, or any seasoning, this fish is rich in oil and the meat is delicate and delicious. The two of them ate it very happily.

It's hard to eat two fish that are as big as a palm, so it's just a new taste.

The two filled their stomachs with a lot of fruit, and then they began to rest contentedly.

Zhou You was physically and mentally exhausted by these monsters in the forest, and his strings were always tense.

He couldn't even calm down while practicing, so he simply stopped meditating and rested peacefully.

……

In this way, travel during the day and rest at night.

The two worked carefully for more than ten days.

The clothes on Zhou You and Zhang Yuan became tattered, and their appearance was worse than that of beggars.

This road is really too difficult to walk!

Just now, the two were chased out by a bear demon for seven or eight miles.

Fortunately, the big black bear was attracted by other animals halfway, otherwise, I don't know what would have happened.

Zhou You leaned against a big tree, sighed, and opened the proficiency panel.

Name: Zhou You

Realm: Early Foundation Establishment (5/100)

Cultivation method: Changqingjue (entry level 27/100)

技能：刀法（入门级33/100）挖矿（初级40/500）烹饪（入门级32/100）

In the past half a month, the spirit stone has been consumed, the realm has increased by two points, the skill proficiency has increased by seven points, and the cooking has also slightly increased by a few points.

Right now, I still have to settle down quickly, find a job, learn some skills, and slowly improve my proficiency.

"Brother Zhou, we may be at the end soon!" Zhang Yuan climbed onto the big tree and shouted excitedly to Zhou You.

When Zhou You heard it, he immediately followed the boy and climbed up the treetops.

Follow the boy's eyes and look into the distance.

Where the two are located, the mountain is relatively high, and one can clearly see that behind a few hills in the distance, there seems to be someone's existence, and misty cooking smoke is rising.

"Let's go!" Zhou You's eyes lit up, he turned over and got off the tree trunk, and ran towards the crowded place.

Zhang Yuan followed closely behind.

……

between the forests.

There was a middle-aged man, holding a big axe, struggling to chop wood.

The man was about 40 years old, wearing civilian clothes, with a bow and arrow slung across his shoulders.

This man was named Liu San, a hunter who lost his wife in his early years and had no children under his knees.

He usually lives at the foot of the mountain by himself, goes hunting and sells wild game.

Occasionally, he also chops firewood and sells it in the county town.

The days are justifiable.

I was lucky today, I caught a pheasant and a hare in the morning.

In the afternoon, we will chop firewood again, and then we will pack and sell them to big families in the county.

Go to have a drink in the evening and buy a small jewelry for your lover.

Liu San was thinking about the beautiful life with his lover at night.

In the distant forest, there was a sudden rustling sound.

He immediately put down the axe, took down the bow and arrow, and aimed in the direction of the sound.

This mountain is very dangerous, Liu San did not dare to be careless.

But soon, he saw two strangely dressed people walking out of the woods.

Liu San slightly lowered his bow and arrow, and shouted, "What are you guys doing?"

How could outsiders come to this small area behind my house?
There are two people in front of them, one young and one young, with tattered clothes hanging on their bodies like rags.

One of them is carrying a hoe on his shoulder. I don't know what he does, but it can't be that he went up the mountain to farm the land, right?
"We are farming!" Zhou You looked very happy, and showed the hoe in his hand to Orion on the opposite side.

Liu San: ...

Although he felt that these two people were talking nonsense, the smiling expression on the opposite person's face still made him let down his guard a little.

He put the bow and arrow back on his back again, then raised the ax and continued to cut trees.

He didn't want to talk to Zhou You, but Zhou You didn't intend to let him go.

"Brother, what is this place?" Zhou You led Zhang Yuan and asked.

"You go up the mountain to farm, don't you know where this is?" Liu San said angrily.

"My younger brother was playful and ran around on the mountain. I followed behind and scolded him. Later, later, we ran away." Zhou You looked up at the sky and made up a nonsense.

"Go down this mountain road and walk three to five miles to Qingshan County. There is a famous doctor in the county who treats the poor without charging money."

Liu San looked at the nonsense young man, shook his head, and told him about the famous doctor.

"Brother, can you sell us two sets of clothes to wear?" Zhou You tore off the rags from his upper body and asked Orion.

Liu San looked at the disheveled and embarrassed appearance of Zhou You and the two, and sighed, and didn't bother to ask the bottom line.

"Chop firewood for me. I'll find two sets of clothes for you later, and I'll give you two steamed buns for each of you."

"No, no, we don't want steamed buns." Zhou You waved his hands quickly.

Even Zhang Yuan, who was always well-behaved behind him, shook his head when he heard the "two steamed buns".

After the two brothers finished speaking, they helped pack up the firewood.

Liu San's efficiency increased immediately.

He kept going, praising Zhou You and Zhang Yuan for their strength.

The three of them carried large bundles of firewood.

Came to a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Liu San entered the house and went to find clothes for the two of them.

At this time, Zhou You was staring at the tied pheasants and hares in the yard.

Liu San took the clothes, and when he went out of the house again, he saw the two brothers squatting in front of their prey, with green eyes...

"Brother Liu, is this going to be sold in the county?" Zhou You asked, pointing at a chicken and a rabbit.

Liu San nodded blankly.

Zhou You took out two small pieces of irregular low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, let's discuss and discuss these two pieces for us."

"What kind of spirit stone is this!" Liu San kept looking at the transparent stone in his hand.

He had seen this thing before.

There are quite a few monks in Qingshan County. They will use this thing and exchange it for gold and silver in some shops for daily expenses.

Lingshi is very valuable, a small piece can be exchanged for more than a dozen taels of gold.

"Don't worry, I will leave these two game meats to me. Go wash them and change your clothes!" Liu San put the spirit stone into his arms with a happy face.

At the same time, I had some guesses about the identities of the two, but I didn't ask.

Zhou You poured two basins of cold water, and stood in the yard with Zhang Yuan to wash them up.

After wiping it off, I put on two sets of cloth clothes.

Liu San also lit a fire in the house, stewed the meat, mixed some flour, stuck it to the edge of the iron pot, and put the lid on the pot.

Zhou You and Zhang Yuan stood beside the stove, inhaling continuously, their faces full of intoxication.

For more than half a month, in the woods, it is not impossible to catch anything.

But there is no seasoning, no kitchen utensils, really no taste at all.

"Are you all right?" Liu San added firewood and looked at the two people beside him, feeling strange in his heart.

Not to mention monks, even ordinary people, no one will show such an expression when they see stewed meat...

Zhou You swallowed slightly, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After time travelling, I haven't had a serious meal for three or four months, and I'm really a bit greedy.

Zhang Yuan behind him was even worse.

Except for the young lady who gave him some delicious food at the first owner's house, the boy hadn't eaten serious food for five or six years in a blink of an eye.

Liu San looked at the longing eyes of the two.

I suddenly wanted to ask.

Monks don't eat people, do they?
