Wen Sisi pinched one and put it into her mouth to taste it, her delicate eyebrows wrinkled, "It's still a little sour, but it's still edible." That's what she said, but she put it into her mouth one after another, not at all. can not stop.
Su Qingyun also tasted the black fruit. It was sour and sweet. It made people secrete sour water from the tip of their tongue, but it was quite appetizing.
"Eat less of this wild fruit, or you may feel upset to your stomach later." After eating a little, Su Congjun was not allowed to eat anymore.
Su Congwu looked at the lusher mountains and forests above and asked, "Do we still want to go up there?"
"Let's go, it's still early, let's walk higher up." Su Congjun couldn't bear to dampen Wen Sisi's interest. They were not halfway up the mountain yet, so they were still safe. It would be fine to go further.
The four of them continued to walk deeper into Yunluo Mountain. Gradually, the roads that could be walked became fewer and fewer, and became more and more steep and difficult to walk. Su Congjun walked at the front, pushing aside the branches and overgrown weeds and thorns for the three of them. , the tall and lush trees almost blocked the sunlight. Without the sunlight, it was a bit cold. However, because of climbing the mountain, several people did not feel cold at all, but beads of sweat appeared on their heads.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I'm so exhausted." Wen Sisi was panting from exhaustion. She exercised more today than she did in the past month combined.
Su Qingyun is also a little out of breath, but she is still much better than Wen Sisi. After all, she has walked a lot in the past few months, and her body is much better now than when she first arrived.
As for the two brothers Su Congjun, they looked like normal people, except that their breathing was a little heavier.
Su Congjun looked around and found a large smooth stone. "Let's sit here and rest for a while. We can go down the mountain in about time."
"good."
The four of them sat side by side on the stone, with the mountain wind blowing and bringing coolness. Looking down from here, the Luoshui Village at the foot of the mountain became extremely small, and the houses were like bricks. Some houses had smoke coming out early, and the orange The bright sunshine shrouded the fields, and the green and yellow fields looked like neatly divided grids.
Looking at such a scenery, Su Qingyun suddenly felt a bright and open feeling. She closed her eyes slightly, and the mountain wind still blew through her eyebrows and hair, like a gentle caressing hand, and she smiled slightly. Beautiful and pure.
This is not the future she has known and lived in for more than 20 years. What she breathes and feels is still the same land, and what she sees every night is still the same moon.
The mountains and rivers are in foreign lands, but the wind and moon are in the same sky.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's go back." Su Congjun looked at the sky and saw that the sun had moved westward.
"Let's go."
The four stood up, turned around, and prepared to return the same way.
"Wait, don't move!" Su Congjun suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs and kept turning around without moving.
"What's wrong, brother?" Su Congwu asked in confusion. Wen Sisi and Su Qingyun also stood there in confusion.
Su Congjun said excitedly, "There is a pheasant up there, do you see it?"
"Where is it? Where is it?" Several people became excited.
The three of them followed Su Congjun's line of sight and saw a pheasant with colorful feathers and long tail feathers standing on a protruding rock about ten meters away from them. The chicken's head was held high, high above the ground. It looks arrogant and majestic. The afterglow cast from the gaps between the trees shines on it, and its beautiful tail feathers are even more shining, making it look full of dignity.
Su Congjun lowered his voice, "We are so lucky to encounter pheasants. Please keep your voices down and don't disturb them. Pheasants are very fast."
"Cluck, clack..." It made a clear cry, buried its head and began to peck at the ground, as if looking for food.
"It's getting cold now and it's hard to find food. This pheasant must have been hungry for a while. Let's be careful and catch it. It will add another dish to the table."
Su Congjun said in a strong voice: "Congwu, you go around that way, I will approach slowly from the side, Sisi and Yunyun, you two just stay here and don't move. If the chicken runs over, just block it." "
"good."
"clear."
The combat plan is deployed, let’s start taking action!
Su Congjun tiptoed towards the pheasant. He was careful not to step on the dead branches on the ground and make any noise to alert the pheasant. Su Congwu walked around from the other side. He moved more gently, making almost no sound with each step he took.
The pheasant, which was concentrating on catching insects on the ground and looking for food, did not notice the two humans who caught its attention. It looked around with vigorous steps, its amber eyes rolling around, and its big black bean eyes were particularly lively. It's like a king patrolling his territory.
The two girls watched it intently, not daring to breathe out for fear that the sound of their breathing would disturb it.
Su Qingyun bent down and picked up a flat stone on the ground, tossing it in his hand to feel it.
Slowly, the three of them formed a triangular encirclement posture and surrounded the pheasant. Just when Su Congjun was about to encounter it, it seemed to be alert to the danger, and suddenly raised its head and saw the two approaching him. Human, its pupils seemed to shrink for a moment, and then it screamed with a "clack", spread its wings, and flew in the direction of Su Qingyun and the two of them.
"Yunyun, Sisi, stop it quickly!" Su Congjun shouted.
Wen Sisi reacted quickly. When she saw the pheasant flying towards her, she quickly reached out and grabbed it. The pheasant suddenly turned a corner, and Wen Sisi missed it and only caught two beautiful feathers.
"Don't run!" Wen Sisi shouted and chased after her.
The formation of the four was completely messed up. Su Congjun and Su Congwu didn't care and rushed towards it. The pheasant was fat and strong, and its agility was particularly strong. It scurried flexibly among the three of them, and could not slip. It is slippery, its feathers are flying, and it pecks a few people from time to time. Its beak is very sharp, and it hurts if it is pecked.
Su Congwu gritted his teeth, looked at the right moment, and pounced on the pheasant. The pheasant only felt the warmth in his hand and was about to get excited. The pheasant's sharp claws scratched. Su Congwu let go of his hand in pain. As soon as he let go, the pheasant spread its wings again. It flew away, leaving only a handful of chicken feathers in Su Congwu's hand.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." The pheasant crowed again, cackling in Su Congwu's ears as if it were mocking him.
Su Congwu was annoyed. He didn't believe it was just a pheasant. He couldn't catch it today!
Su Qingyun has been standing there without moving. In fact, her eyes have been watching the movement of the pheasant. Her whole body is tense and highly concentrated, and the stone flakes in her hand are ready to be struck out at any time.
Finally, when the pheasant flew triumphantly not far from her, it stopped. Su Qingyun's eyes narrowed. Now, she held the stone piece and decisively shot out, and the flat stone shot out quickly, With a sound that broke through the air, it instantly hit the raised chicken's head. The "clack" sound stopped abruptly, and its body tilted and quickly fell to the ground.
Su Qingyun's hand made the three of them stunned.
Su Congwu walked to the pheasant and swallowed as he looked at the dying pheasant whose body was still twitching and struggling.
It took Su Congjun a while to find his voice, "Yunyun, when did you master this skill? You are so accurate, and you have such strength."
"It's so fast and so cruel!" Su Congwu murmured, touching the stone flakes, he still couldn't believe it.
"This is so handsome, isn't it?" Wen Sisi's eyes were so hot when she looked at Su Qingyun that little stars were about to appear. She had never seen a girl who could be described as handsome, but "Yun Yun" can!
"I just often throw stones for fun. Practice makes perfect. It just happened by chance." Su Qingyun wrote lightly.
She is not a nerd who only studies and goes to the lab. She was taught strictly by her family. She learned everything from piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, music, and shooting. She didn’t seek perfection, but she had to know how to do it. She was especially good at shooting. When she was in college, she even won the He was the shooting champion in the National Universiade, but unfortunately he never participated in the competition again because of his busy studies.
"Now let's think about how to get the chicken back?" She frowned and said, "It's not dark yet, and there are many people in the village. If you see it, you will have to whisper behind your back."
Yunluo Mountain belongs to the state, and the pheasant is something on the mountain, so naturally it belongs to the public. If someone sees it and lets them share it, I don’t know what to do.
Su Congjun thought for a while and said: "Let's go on like this for now. When we get to the foot of the mountain, I will take off my cotton-padded clothes and wrap the chicken and take it back."
"It's such a cold weather, no, no." Wen Sisi objected.
"It's okay, I'll be home in just two steps."
"Forget it, brother, tomorrow is your and Sister Sisi's big day. You can't catch a cold at this time." Su Qingyun also objected. She looked at Su Congwu, "Third brother, you are young and angry. You can take off your clothes later." Run back."
Su Congwu: "..." Wouldn't he catch a cold?
"Okay, if I run, I'll run." He accepted his fate.
Only Su Congwu was injured in this world.
Soon, the four of them went down the mountain. Su Congwu took off his cotton-padded clothes and ran home wrapped in the half-dead chicken. The other three walked back slowly.
"Oh my God! Are you crazy, you brat!" Zhang Xinlan in the yard was shocked when she saw her son rushing in wearing two thin clothes, "It's such a cold day, why are you taking off your clothes?"
Su Congwu ran all the way back without feeling cold, "Mom, don't scream, come in quickly."
Zhang Xinlan followed Su Congwu into the back room, and saw him opening the cotton coat in his hand, and a beautiful pheasant appeared, his body still rising and falling slightly.
Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened, "My dear mother, where did you get such a fat pheasant?"
Su Congwu put on his cotton coat and raised his eyebrows proudly, "We caught it on the mountain, how about it? It's another dish."
"You guys are really capable of doing this. You can even bring back a pheasant when you go out for a wander." Zhang Xinlan clicked her tongue in admiration.
"Look." Su Congwu carried the chicken to the kitchen again. Li Xiulian and Wu Guixiang were busy in the kitchen. When they saw such a plump pheasant, their eyes lit up.
"Did you catch this?" Wu Guixiang circled around the pheasant three times, but she still didn't believe it.
Su Congwu paused, "We... caught him together."
"What together? This was obviously caught in this way. If it hadn't been for this, the three of us would still be flopping around there." Su Congjun walked in and said with a smile.
Su Congwu choked, why weren't they together? He has hard work without any merit, right?
