Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 256, Going into the Mountains with Mei

After packing up their equipment, the driver had already left. The two changed into their clothes and shoes for the trip to the mountain next to a large rock. Wang Li packed their changed clothes and shoes in a bag, then climbed up a tree next to the rock and hid them.

They would change back after returning from hunting, so that they wouldn't have to carry so many clothes, making it more convenient for the two of them to go into the mountains.

After making all the preparations for entering the mountains, Wang Li held Chen Xu's hand and walked towards the forest.

As they walked, he introduced to Chen Xu the precautions for entering the mountains and hunting techniques.

The two walked about 2 kilometers into the mountain. It was almost dark, and Wang Li found a suitable place to set up a tent.

He said to Chen Xu: We will rest here tonight. After Chen Xu nodded with a slightly red face, the two began to set up the tent and cook.

The reason why Chen Xu blushed was that she already knew that she would live in the same tent with Wang Li tonight. Although she had prepared herself mentally before agreeing to go hunting with Wang Li, she was still a little shy when facing this situation.

Soon, with the help of Chen Xu, Wang Li set up the tent and dug a pit in a suitable place nearby to use for cooking.

Today, Wang Li just wanted to take Chen Xu to adapt to the environment of the mountains and forests, and did not want to hunt.

Just when the two were preparing ingredients for dinner, Wang Li's ears suddenly moved, and then he said to Chen Xu: I didn't expect you to be so lucky.

Without waiting for Chen Xu to ask, he picked up the bow beside him and aimed at a patch of grass in the north.

Chen Xu saw his movements and knew that there must be an animal. Out of girlish instinct, she hid behind Wang Li, only showing a small head and looking in the direction of Wang Li's bow and arrow.

Before she could see anything, Wang Li had already shot the arrow in his hand. With a whoosh, the sound of an animal falling to the ground was heard in the distance. Wang Li turned around and said to her: Wait here for me.

He ran quickly towards the jungle, and when Wang Li came back, he was holding a pheasant in his hand.

In Chen Xu's admiring eyes, Wang Li said: This is a wild pheasant, it tastes very delicious, just in time to make you pheasant soup tonight. I just saw some mushrooms over there, they are edible, make you a chicken stewed with mushrooms to nourish your body and drive away the cold, it's a bit cold in the wild, eating some of this is good for your health.

Wang Li took out a small knife made of a giant crocodile claw and skinned and deboned the pheasant. In the process, his hands were not dirty.

Under Chen Xu's admiring gaze, he made a meal of chicken stewed with mushrooms and ate it with the dry food he brought with him. It was his first dinner in the wild.

One has to say that Wang Li, the old hunter, is very good at cooking game. Chen Xu's stomach is a little bloated from eating so much.

After they cleaned up the dishes, they sat outside the tent and looked at the stars in the sky. Chen Xu asked, "Wang Li, how come you are so amazing? You know everything."

Wang Li said: It’s nothing, my father is a hunter, I have followed my father to the mountains to hunt since I was a child, I learned it after a long time.

By the way, I will also teach you how to hunt tomorrow. The rifle I bring is of small caliber. The range is not very far, but the recoil is very small, which is suitable for a thin woman like you. I will teach you how to use a gun tomorrow.

Chen Xu said in surprise: "Ah! I want to go hunting too!"

Wang Li said: "Of course, we are here to hunt. If we don't hunt, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come to the mountains? Why don't you dare to hunt?"
Chen Xu said: That’s not the case, okay, you teach me how to hunt tomorrow.
