Si Qin took a bite and found that it was not as bad as he thought, but the taste was indeed not that good.
Si Qin didn't know what the green leaves used to wrap spiders were called, but when Changsun was picking them, Si Qin tasted them and found that the natural taste was pretty good, but the feeling of eating spiders raw was really not that good.
But fortunately, the red sauce that Changsun put on at the end, sour and sweet, covered up the strange smell of the spider.
Si Qin resisted and finished eating the small bag in his hand, and asked: "What is in the small can in your hand? It tastes pretty good."
The eldest grandson replied: "I made it myself, and it's called ketchup."
"Ketchup? It tastes pretty good." Siqin praised again.
It took a while for Siqin to react and asked: "You gave me that... purse just now, what do you eat?"
Siqin really didn't want to talk about the spider, lest he would remember the scene where he had just eaten the spider alive.
"If you're lucky, it will come again. If you're not lucky, it doesn't matter if you're hungry." Changsun said casually.
But it seemed that Changsun was lucky, and soon another spider came.
This time Si Qin felt a little strange. The arrival of a spider could be regarded as a coincidence, but it was a little strange that two spiders appeared in such a short time.
Changsun listened to Siqin's doubts, picked up a small jar from the corner beside him, opened the jar and showed Siqin, and found the same spider inside.
"This is a female spider, and it is in the breeding period. Its body will secrete a breath that only they can recognize. This is how these male spiders are attracted one by one."
Si Qin felt a sense of novelty. He didn't expect that there were so many ways to survive in the wild. The eldest grandson seems to be as old as himself, but he actually knows so much. No wonder the eldest grandson feels as if he has returned to his own territory from the moment he enters the forest, with a kind of confidence all over his body.
The eldest grandson put the small can into his backpack, leaned his back against the tree hole, and said, "Let's rest here tonight. The Falcon Eagle is guarding this area at night, so it is not suitable to rush on the road at this time."
After hearing this, Si Qin didn't ask any questions and curled up to rest.
When Siqin woke up, he realized that he had a thin blanket wrapped around him.
Zhangsun had woken up and was lying on the tree, listening to the goings on around him.
Siqin moved his body. The space in the tree hole was limited, so it was really uncomfortable to sleep curled up like this all night.
Changsun heard the movement behind him and said, "You're awake. It's already dawn. The surroundings are safe now. Pack up and get ready to go."
…
When Chang and Sun set off, a secret conversation was taking place in a secret room in Lieyang City.
In the dark room, the two could not see each other's faces, but it did not affect their conversation.
One of the men said: "Judging from the information we have so far, Qingshan Town, which everyone suspected before, is the most likely. My sister who is living outside thinks that she can confuse me by just sending a few tasks. It's really ridiculous. Li Youran, this mission depends on you."
The other man in the secret room, probably the Li Youran mentioned earlier, said "yes" flatly, and said nothing more after that.
After receiving the response, the previous man stared at Li Youran in the darkness, trying to see the face of this mysterious killer.
I just said so much just because I wanted to test Li Youran's reaction. I didn't expect that this Li Youran was as taciturn as the rumors.
"Haha, okay, killer Youyou, kill silently. I believe in your ability. After this matter is completed, in addition to the commission I gave you before, I will give you double the commission."
Li Youran still didn't react at all. If there wasn't another figure in the darkness, the man would have doubted whether he had left.
Seeing that he couldn't get a response from Li Youran, the man said, "Then go ahead."
The figure in the darkness gradually merged into the surrounding darkness and disappeared.
The man couldn't find where Li Youran was going. He nodded with satisfaction and left quietly.
In another part of Lieyang City, when two men were talking, a secret conversation was also taking place.
One of the women was beautiful, exuding nobility and behaved gracefully.
The woman was obviously undecided about something and frowned slightly.
A man stood next to the woman and said, "Auntie, her life and death have nothing to do with us, why should we bother with it."
The woman turned around and said, "Her mother was kind to me during her lifetime, but now that she is in trouble, I can't ignore her."
The man said reluctantly: "You have repaid her mother's kindness to you all these years ago."
After hearing this, the woman paused for a moment, as if she had been persuaded by the man, and finally sighed and said: "Oh, it's not that my aunt wants to take care of it. Before Fang Ping was in trouble, she asked for help through a secret method, and it was me she was looking for. Recently." The few tasks of the Mercenary Association that people secretly investigated repeatedly are actually reminding me that if I act stupid now, if her father is held accountable, I will not be able to escape the blame."
The man was silent for a while after hearing this. The woman hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision and said: "Rong'er, I don't trust anyone else to handle this matter, so it's up to you, Rong'er. You can go to Qinling Island for your aunt. Wait there to pick her up. We must do our best to protect her."
After accepting the order, the man said nothing more and quickly left for Qinling Island.
…
The eldest grandson, who was traveling through the mountains and forests, did not expect that his arrangement would cause such a big chain reaction.
At this time, Changsun was running for his life in the mountains and forests with Siqin.
Siqin said angrily while running for his life, "Didn't you say you are familiar with this area? Why did you break into the territory of these skunks?"
The eldest grandson was sweating profusely after being asked by Siqin. He didn't know whether it was the sweat from running for his life or the sweat from being nervous when he was asked.
Changsun stammered: "Um...this group of skunks is an anomaly. Because they emit a very smelly smell when they are in danger, no wild beasts in the Qingshan Mountains are willing to catch them. Over time, they have developed a habit of living in the mountains and forests. They have a domineering habit. They were not here last time I came here. Who knows why I am so unlucky to encounter them again this time."
Siqin didn't listen to Changsun's explanation at all and snorted coldly: "'Again'? It seems that you fell into their hands more than once."
The eldest grandson was sweating profusely again. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to find a way out.
"Well, it's indeed not the first time, but it doesn't matter. Isn't this an experience? They are actually mainly frightened, so now they keep chasing us. They will stop when they get tired. I have experience, you Don't worry."
Siqin still didn't buy it, and said: "I don't think they were frightened and chased us, but they seemed to be having fun with us."
Changsun was completely speechless by Siqin. He ran away for a while and came to a waterfall dozens of meters high and stopped.
Si Qin saw Changsun running in front suddenly stop and asked, "Why did you stop? They are still chasing after you."
Changsun pointed to the waterfall in front and said: "You can go to the back of the waterfall by following the path I pointed out. There is a small cave behind the waterfall where you can hide for a while. These skunks were found by smelling their stench. Ours, you hide in this waterfall, I'll get rid of them and come back to you." As he spoke, Changsun changed direction and ran away without waiting for Siqin's response.
Only then did Si Qin remember that when the two of them broke into the skunk's territory, he actually saw the beautiful scenery there and suggested to go take a look. At that time, the skunk suddenly rushed out, and both he and the skunk were startled. Then the skunk sprayed a cloud of stinky odor at himself.
At this time, Changsun rushed in front of him without hesitation. As a result, Changsun got himself covered in stench.
The resentment in Si Qin's heart disappeared at this moment. Thinking of Changsun's previous performance, a warm current passed through his heart.
After the eldest grandson left for a moment, Si Qin realized what he was doing, took a deep look at the direction the eldest grandson left, and then followed the path pointed by the eldest grandson and fled into the waterfall.
Since most of the stench was blocked by the eldest grandson, the waterfall effectively cut off the skunk's perception of Siqin. As expected, the skunks swarmed towards the eldest grandson's escape direction.
Siqin waited quietly in the waterfall for his eldest grandson to come back, but time gradually passed and he still didn't see his eldest grandson come back.
Si Qin was a little worried about his eldest grandson. It was getting dark, but there was still no movement in the direction where his eldest grandson left.
Si Qin wanted to go out to look for his eldest grandson, but in this vast green mountain, Si Qin couldn't even tell the direction.
Just when it was about to get completely dark, a dark figure suddenly rushed in from the other direction of the waterfall.
Siqin was paying careful attention to the movement of Changsun in the direction he was leaving, and was startled by the sudden black shadow that rushed in.
"It's me, don't be nervous."
The black shadow rushed in and spoke immediately.
After Siqin heard the familiar voice, his anxious heart finally dropped, and then he asked: "Why did it take so long?"
Changsun said: "Maybe they were excited to see their old friends, so they chased me for a little longer. In the end, I had no choice but to get into a river to escape their pursuit, and I also took a bath by the way."
Changsun said in an understatement, mentioning all the thrills during the period. He was still wringing the water from his clothes as he said it. It was obvious that he had just emerged from the river and his clothes were not dry yet.
Siqin was speechless for a moment. Although the two were now in an employment relationship, Changsun's action of standing in front of him immediately and blocking all dangers still moved Siqin.
Changsun didn't notice Siqin's strange behavior at this time, and said: "I caught a few fish by the way when I was in the river. I have lost weight by eating fruits these days. I can finally eat some meat today."
Changsun said that he was going to make a fire and grill the fish here.
Seeing this, Siqin stopped him and said, "It's already dark, so it's not safe to start a fire now."
"It doesn't matter. I took these skunks around this area several times just now and basically smoked away all the wild beasts around. It's safe here for the time being. Let's quickly roast it and put out the fire."
After leaving Qingshan Town, it was their first meal of cooked food. Both of them had great appetites and quickly finished a few fish.
After a few days' journey, the eldest grandson and Siqin gradually developed a tacit understanding. The eldest grandson usually stayed in the first half of the night, and only after Siqin woke up, the eldest grandson would rest.
At night, the eldest grandson was already asleep. Si Qin looked at the eldest grandson's peaceful face even though he was very tired and slept, and felt a little dazed.
The polite and well-mannered young man from a wealthy family in Lishan City a few years ago and the young man in the wilderness now seemed to be the same person, but also seemed to be a world apart.
Perhaps this is growth. The painful experience made him mature, and at the same time made him settle like an old wine, with more profound charm.
Siqin touched himself when he thought of this, thinking that maybe time is leaving its mark on his face, and that girl will grow up one day.
Thinking of this, Si Qin looked at the hazy night sky outside the waterfall. The faces of his mother and Aunt Fang seemed to appear on the waterfall.
