Beidou Mountain, Yaoguang Peak.
How many rabbits are there growing in the dense mountain forest? Some people have been curious about this question, but no one has ever felt the need to clarify it. But now, this job fell on Lu Ping and Zi Mu.
"This is deliberately making things difficult for us!" Zimu said. But there was not much resentment in his tone. To be honest, he never thought that he could actually join Beidou Academy. Compared with this, being made things difficult for him in Beidou Academy was nothing. Can’t you practice wholeheartedly for a month? Even if he could practice wholeheartedly for a month, he wouldn't think that he would be able to shine after a month.
He was more worried about Lu Ping. In his opinion, Lu Ping was really capable of shining in the Seven-Star Exam and getting a good start. But now, he actually had to take care of the rabbit in Yaoguang Peak for a month.
"I don't believe they really know how many rabbits there are on this mountain. I don't think they can confirm the number even if they say it, uh...probably..." Zimu wasn't too sure, just in case there was someone in Beidou College. What kind of power can you count the number of rabbits in the entire mountain in an instant?
"Otherwise, leave it all to me! You can go and practice aside." Zi Mu said with determination. I was able to enter Beidou College thanks to Lu Ping. What does it mean to sacrifice myself to pave the way for Lu Ping's future in Beidou College at this time? As for myself, being able to leave my name on the Beidou Academy's seven-star list is considered extremely glorious, even if it is only at the bottom.
"This way." In the end, Lu Ping answered him with this sentence, and his body suddenly rushed to the left.
"Hey, you didn't listen to me?" Zi Mu said as he followed. He talked a lot all the way to find the rabbit, but Lu Ping didn't listen?
Lu Ping, who rushed out, had already stopped. Although Zimu's movements were not as fast as Lu Ping's, the hearing brought by the Sixth Heaven of Ming Soul was also quite sharp. When Lu Ping made movements, he did hear the movement here. But when I came over, I saw two squirrels chasing each other on the ground. When they saw someone approaching, they immediately flew up the tree and stood on the branches watching the two people.
"Oh...this..."
"This way!"
Zimu was about to say something, but Lu Ping was already shouting and rushing in another direction.
"Hey, can't you just listen to what I have to say?" Zi Mu mumbled helplessly as he followed. After catching up, I saw that this time I finally didn't miss out. Lu Ping was holding a rabbit in one hand. He turned back to Zi Mu with some satisfaction and said, "One."
"Brother..." Zimu said cautiously, "You really want to count the rabbits in this entire mountain, right?"
"Otherwise?" Lu Ping looked at Zi Mu in confusion.
Zi Mu was stunned and looked at Lu Ping's eyes without any hesitation. He couldn't help but reflect on himself: Is his inability to reach dazzling heights in cultivation related to his fear of difficulties? And what about Lu Ping? Whether it's making things difficult, or whether the other party doesn't know how many rabbits there are, if they really count the rabbits in the whole mountain, these problems will arise. Is it still a problem?
"I understand..." Zi Mu nodded.
"However, we can't carry all the rabbits to ensure that we don't count them twice." Zimu continued, and he began to actively and seriously think about counting rabbits.
"You're right." Lu Ping nodded and looked around, "We have to find a place to gather these rabbits together to stop them from running around."
"In this case, it will be more convenient to take care of the rabbit in the future." Zi Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he changed from free-range to captive. The problem of caring for rabbits for a month will become easier and more convenient.
"A flatter place will be better." Lu Ping said.
"It's best to just be a pit." Zi Mu said.
"When I came here, there was such a place." Lu Ping said.
"I remembered it too!" Zi Mu nodded fiercely.
So the two of them turned back. Soon we returned to the depression we passed on the hillside when we came. It's not so obvious at first glance. Because the area of this depression is really not small.
"It still needs proper repairs." Zi Mu said after looking at it. The depressions were not neatly dug, and rabbits could still easily jump out from many places. Otherwise, this large depression would have trapped many small animals that did not easily fall into it.
"Then let's fix it!" Lu Ping said, immediately taking action. Zi Mu also followed actively, and the entire edge of the depression was either fenced or built to a considerable height. It took several hours to finally repair it.
"Okay." Lu Ping said confidently after walking around and checking it again.
Zi Mu, who was sitting under a tree and panting, blushed. It is said that two people made this rabbit trap together. He was really embarrassed to admit it. His completely unrecovered body was exhausted from the mountain road, and repairing the rabbit trap now didn't help much at all. Working for a while and resting for a while, it's very much like that newbie trial. Although he was not carried by Lu Ping, Zi Mu felt that he was not much different.
"How are you?" Lu Ping was still concerned about him at the end. Zi Mu deliberately bumped his head into the tree and died.
"I'm fine." He replied.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Ping threw a large bunch of branches on his shoulders to the ground. Zi Mu took a look and saw some green fruits on the branches.
"Who planted this...wasn't it?" Having learned from the rabbit's experience, Zi Mu was also cautious. He didn't want to eat this and then let the two of them take care of the fruit trees on Yaoguang Peak for a month.
"Don't worry, I've asked about any seniors I met passing by. Wild fruit." Lu Ping said. Of course, he also took Zi Mu's concerns into consideration.
"Oh, that's good." Zi Mu said and picked two fruits from the branches. He looked at them and didn't know what they were. After wiping it casually with his sleeve, he threw one to Lu Ping and bit it casually.
"Bah!" Zi Mu sprayed out after biting it. It's sour, astringent, and not fully cooked yet, but at this level, it won't be much better if it's cooked!
"This fruit is really..." Zimu was about to throw away the fruit in his hand, but saw that half of the fruit in Lu Ping's hand had been eaten.
"It's not delicious, is it?" Lu Ping said while taking another bite.
"Uh...you..." Zimu didn't know what to say. How could Lu Ping eat such a fruit? Could it be that he is of the legendary Tiancan bloodline and has no pivot spirit? That’s not right either! The absence of pivot spirit does not mean the absence of taste, it is not the same thing. Zimu, who was born in Dongdu, is indeed very knowledgeable, and everyone in the Tiancan bloodline knows that. But this obviously cannot explain Lu Ping's ability to eat the fruit calmly. This is not a lack of pivot spirit, this is a lack of taste.
How pitiful... Zi Mu thought, and felt that he should say something to comfort Lu Ping. However, he saw that Lu Ping had already finished the one in his hand, and leaned over to pick off another one.
"It's sour and astringent." He said as he took another bite.
Zi Mu was stunned. It turns out he has no sense of taste? But can you still eat like this?
"But I've eaten a lot of food that's even worse than this." Lu Ping said with a smile.
There are many things that are even worse than this...
Zimu really couldn't say anything to comfort him. He couldn't imagine what kind of miserable life Lu Ping had experienced, but he could still recall it with a smile.

It’s the end of the month! (To be continued.)
