22. Easy and pleasant work

  As for Bai Guang, he only brought two dogs with him, which was enough. The other four had to stay in the camp and guard against wild animals in the mountains. Last night while camping, he found traces of a wild boar nearby, with hoof prints as big as one, and deep into the soil, clearly a lone male boar.

  I hope it's not an injured pig.

  Muttering to herself, Bai Huan's thoughts returned to the present moment.

  Although he was a Druid, with the natural power to bewilder and even control animals, he had already tried it out as soon as he entered the mountain - wanting to use his wild communication ability to coax the little pheasants and rabbits to come to him to be eaten, that was just wishful thinking.

  Wild communication is called "communication" because the exchange of emotions and thoughts is two-way. If you have a mind to eat someone, can you still expect some foolish rabbit to come to your door and feed the tiger with its own body?

  But Druid's power is useless in finding food, it doesn't mean that Bai Huan has no way out. The elders taught him the ways to make a living in the mountains, and he never forgot them.

  Some people go hunting in a Hummer, with hunting dogs lying in the back compartment and carrying guns and crossbows on their backs. Others only need a slingshot.

  Frameless slingshot - something that many people have never heard of, but it's actually the slingshot that post-70s and post-80s played with when they were kids, removing the wooden or metal handle bent into shape, leaving only the rubber band and leather pad.

  But in the hands of 99% of people, this thing's only use is self-mutilation; whereas for the other 1% of masters, it's no different from equipping Taliban personnel with the most advanced individual combat weapons.

  It ended up in Bai Huan's hands, with his high physical fitness of 136 points, and his agile movements in the mountains like a fish in water. This weapon directly upgraded to Barrett XM109.

  Rabbit? Pheasant? Bai Huan looked at the prey under his feet and smiled without saying a word.

  ……

  In less than half an hour, Bai Huan appeared outside the camp with three male pheasants in his hands. The originally lively camp fell silent after seeing what was in his hands, and after three seconds of silence, it erupted into a passionate and enthusiastic cheer.

  "You really caught two!" Wang Xian excitedly rushed over and punched Bai Huan's chest: "You're something, with you as my younger brother, we don't need to leave the mountain anymore."

  Bai Huang ignored him and handed the prey over to him: "Each profession has its own expertise, go pluck its feathers."

  Then he didn't look at the bitter gourd that had become a eggplant, and went straight to the creek.

  Yu Chuanjin, who was washing wild vegetables beside her, saw Bai Hua coming over and moved a few steps away with a mixture of disgust and fear.

  Bai Huan no longer despises this young lady as much as he did at the beginning. This person is a bit self-righteous, but being able to put aside her pride and endure hardship makes her far stronger than the average rich beauty.

  But as for him taking the initiative to apologize and ask for reconciliation, that's just a pipe dream.

  What manly demeanor, gentlemanly bearing, is just a fart to him.

  So Bai Huan didn't even look at Yu Tianjin anymore, took off his shoes and waded into the river with a gentle flow of water.

  "Hey, you..." Yu Tianjin finally couldn't help it and glared at Bai Huan: "Can't you see I'm washing vegetables?!"

  "What? What?" Bai Huang turned back in confusion.

  Yu Jian saw his "what's wrong with you" expression, furious in her heart, but didn't dare to show it, thinking that since he saw her washing vegetables, taking off her shoes and getting into the water, what else could she do?

  "Can't you see I'm washing vegetables?! You won't be eating later, will you?!"

  Bai Huang glared back at her inexplicably: "This is downstream, what are you yelling about? I haven't even blamed you for scaring away my fish yet! You're not going to eat it later, are you?"

  Yu Zhanjin was stunned, and then saw Bai Huan's glance, which clearly contained disdain and sympathy for brain-damaged patients. She immediately gritted her teeth and stood up. If she hadn't been afraid of the soul in front of her, it was very likely that she would have given this kid two slaps, treating him like a vicious "snake-like monster".

  "What's wrong again!" Seeing the two people arguing again, someone came over to mediate.

  Jian's small chest heaved violently, her eyes revealing a hatred unlike any other day. She pointed at the white scales in the water: "He said I scared away his fish! How shameless, to be fishing in a place like this?"

  It's no wonder that the cicada is angry, the streams in the area of Chicken Public Rock have a huge drop in water level, with sources coming from high mountains over 3,000 meters above sea level. In slightly turbulent waters, people can't even stand on their feet, and once they lie flat to swim, the stream can directly sweep them out for tens of meters.

  In such a rapid current, those golden fish, river bottom fish, willow leaf fish, and small white fish can easily escape the eyes of even the sharpest hawks with just one flick of their tails, let alone humans?

  However, Yu Xuanjin obviously got a problem wrong.

  Can Bai Huang still be considered human?

  Are Druids also considered purely human?

  Just as the servant was smiling and trying to mediate, he saw Bai Huan step into the creek, which was waist-deep, with waves and currents that couldn't shake his figure at all.

  With a burst of energy, every muscle in his body was mobilized, and Bai Huan now, with his sleeves rolled up and his collar open, looked like a temple attendant of the goddess Artemis.

  Wildness and elegance, two qualities that should be in opposition, are wonderfully and harmoniously blended into one person.

  This is a handsome clouded leopard in the mountains!

  Just as Yu Xuan was stunned, Bai suddenly moved. His figure left a series of afterimages on the retinas of the two people by the creek - he suddenly bent down, grabbed something, and then instantly turned around and threw it towards the riverbank.

  That was a bundle of cut bamboo tied together, with water still dripping from the wet green leaves, and from time to time, small fish about an inch long would jump out from between the bamboo and leaves.

  "Ah..." Yu Jian's beautiful eyes were moving lonely and shocked, a thread of uncontrollable surprise escaped from her throat.

  In a quiet pool of water, it is possible to use this method to scoop up fish in the river bend. How can you do this in such a small waterfall-like section?

  Just as this young lady's brain was a bit stuck, Bai Huan turned his head and bent down, and with another scoop and throw, the second bundle of bamboo branches was thrown to the shore.

  The sparkling water droplets, under the dazzling sunset, reflected a seven-colored rainbow glow. The man standing in the turbulent current, however, was as steady as Mount Tai. His wheat-colored skin, illuminated by the sunset, appeared even more radiant and robust.

  "Hey! Less than half an hour has passed since I threw them in, and so many are already caught inside. Tonight we'll have roasted wild chicken with wild fish soup!" Bai Huan tossed the "two bundles" of traps into the water and when he came ashore, he didn't bother to be careful anymore, but instead walked back with a splash. Seeing that the two were still in a daze, he couldn't help but say irritably: "Pick up these fish, we're waiting to eat!"

  Another person came to and responded with a sound, then hurriedly and excitedly went to pick up the fish. This kind of small mountain fish is a rare delicacy that's hard to come by in everyday life; one pot of water, one handful of salt, and one piece of dried ginger - not even a god would trade it away.

  While Yu Xuan was still in a daze, his gaze fell on Bai Hua's arm and chest, but he didn't quite catch what he said.

  Until Bai Huan got ashore and stood beside her, staring at her strangely, this young lady suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, with a hint of panic: "Ah, what did you say?"

  White light, speechless, shaking hands to prepare for drying clothes. However, she turned back and saw that beside Yu Zhenjin, there were wild vegetables, already sorted and washed spotlessly, looking like they were going to be rinsed again, and felt that this woman was still salvageable.

  At least it's not rotten to the core.

  "Alright alright, I was just joking with you earlier, there's a bowl of fish soup for you."

  Yu Cuijin heard clearly this time, her eyes widened and she was about to retort, but the words were spoken. It seemed like she had been craving a bowl of fish soup all along.

  But for some reason, the scene of that man's masculine charm just now kept swirling in her mind. Moreover, at this moment, when this bastard said this, his casual and carefree appearance didn't seem to have any intention of teasing or mocking, which made Yu Caiyun's vicious words get stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken out.
