Chapter 19: A Day in the Woods

After Xiao Ling completely dissipated, Mu Chen went to her hometown, the forest hut alone. The real hut hasn't been inhabited for two years, and it's long since it was dilapidated.

As soon as he pushed the door open, a head of ash fell, and Mu Chen coughed while holding the broom next to him to sweep away the cobwebs and dust in the house.

The bodies of Xiao Ling and her parents had already been eaten by wild beasts in this forest, Mu Chen took pity on the family, and after cleaning up the house, he took a few pieces of Xiao Ling's parents and her clothes, and built a mound not far from the wooden house.

After packing everything up, Mu Chen looked around at the surrounding scenery again, which was indeed different from the illusion.

The shade of the trees hides the scorching sun, and the breeze brings in gusts of wind, so the hot weather is not boring. Mu Chen leaned under a tree, quietly listening to the insects and birds, watching the birds jump briskly on the fallen leaves, turning over one by one to find food.

Mu Chen slowly calmed down, closed his eyes, and the sounds around him gradually became softer, far away......

After Mu Chen woke up, he saw that the sun had not yet set, so he thought about going out to find something to eat, and it was quite a taste to stay in this forest tonight and enjoy the night sky.

After searching for a moment in the woods, I didn't see any hares and pheasants, and slowly came to a river. The river water looked extremely clear, Mu Chen squatted down and took a sip of water in his hand and drank it, it was really sweet to quench his thirst.

Mu Chen's eyes rolled, and he took out a bottle from the void rope, filled it with a bottle of mountain spring water, and put it back into the rope on his wrist.

"I really want to bring all this water back. Well, I've got to give my little brother a little bit of it, fill it up!"

Speaking of the Void Rope, since Mu Chen had this treasure, he felt that it was a waste to only put a fragment of the Heavenly Netherworld, since he could put everything, he had to make full use of this space.

So he put everything he thought was needed. For example, paper towels, chopsticks, pots, and a lot of ingredients. I'm afraid that if there is something urgent to go, it will be too late to prepare.

But he really didn't think about whether the ingredients would go bad on such a hot day.

After filling the water, Mu Chen took out a knife from the void rope again, and found a branch to sharpen a spearfish tool.

Mu Chen, who originally thought it would be easy to catch fish, fell down in the water several times and got wet all over.

Mu Chen was angry, and at this time, an unlucky fish just swam past his feet, and Mu Chen cast a fixing spell on the fish, then picked up the fork and hit it.

"Hmph, dare to fight me!"

Mu Chen used this trick to catch two more fish, and slipped back to the cabin before dark.

At night, the stars adorn the night sky. There were occasional cries of wild beasts in this forest, and in order not to spoil this wonderful atmosphere, Mu Chen set up an enchantment around the wooden house, and the beasts could not rush in.

Mu Chen set up a shelf outside the wooden house, ready to make grilled fish to eat. That's when the barbecue seasonings he brought with him in the void rope, such as cumin peppers and something, really came in handy.

The two fish were scaled off, the gills and internal organs were removed, and then they were threaded on two thin branches. Once the fire is lit, it is placed on a shelf and the production begins.

Wait until some of the moisture in the fish has been grilled and brush the fish with a layer of oil on both sides. Slowly roast until golden brown, brush the oil again, and then the fish has already wafted out of the aroma, and drop by drop of oil falls to the ground. Finish with fennel, cumin and paprika. In a few minutes, the grilled fish is done.

Mu Chen looked at these two fragrant fish, and felt extremely proud in his heart, took out his mobile phone and took a video to send it to Jiesheli: "Ah Li, look at it, it's very fragrant!hahaha, do you want to eat it?"

"Huh, no signal!"

After the fish was baked, Mu Chen picked up one, sniffed it deeply with satisfaction, opened his mouth and was about to bite down, when his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the ground staring at him.

Mu Chen put down the fish, lowered his body and looked carefully, although the size of this thing was about the size of a peach, but the eyes were very large, like two black grapes growing on it. The little thing is hairy all over, with small short hands and feet.

The thing stared at the fish on the shelf with two big black eyes. Seeing Mu Chen looking at it, it didn't feel scared, and stretched out two small hands to jump towards the fish, but it really couldn't reach it. The little thing tilted its head to look at Mu Chen, pretending to be pitiful, and pointed at its stomach with its little finger, as if telling Mu Chen that he was hungry.

Mu Chen saw that this little thing was quite cute, and he didn't think about where it came from or how it entered the enchantment.

Mu Chen picked up the fish, tore a piece of meat, and handed it down. Seeing this, the little thing opened its mouth and laughed happily, stretched out its hands to take the fish, turned its back and began to eat.

After eating the little thing, he turned to look at Mu Chen, pointed to his stomach and asked for a piece of fish, and continued to eat it with his back. Mu Chen also smiled happily when he saw this cute appearance, and felt that this fish was more delicious when he ate it.

In less than a while, Mu Chen and the little thing ate the two fish cleanly. After eating, the little thing didn't leave, he stretched out his tongue and licked his mouth and lay down, touching his stomach while looking at Mu Chen who was cleaning up.

After Mu Chen cleaned up, he squatted next to the little thing, stretched out his finger and poked its head tentatively. Unexpectedly, this little thing didn't dodge, and rubbed Mu Chen's hand with his head.

Then Mu Chen opened his palm and motioned for the little thing to come up. It was also smart, and jumped directly into Mu Chen's hand. Mu Chen held it in his hand and sat on the chair.

"Little thing, what kind of breed are you, how come I've never seen one?"

The little thing followed Mu Chen's words, his head tilted left and right, I don't know if he didn't understand or understood but couldn't speak.

Mu Chen touched its head, and said with some pampering in his tone:

"Seeing that you are so cute, if you don't go back with me, you will never be hungry if you follow me to eat and drink spicy food in the future. ”

Unexpectedly, when the little guy heard this, he immediately jumped up happily, clapped his hands, and nodded vigorously.

It turned out to be a spiritual creature who could understand words.

After reaching an agreement with the little thing, Mu Chen took out a blanket from the void rope and lay on it, preparing to sleep outside tonight. The little thing twisted and twisted to Mu Chen's head and lay down.

Seeing Mu Chen lying down, the little thing leisurely held his head with his two hands, and his right foot was cocked to his left leg, so he also followed his example and stretched out his hand and lifted his leg, but his limbs were too small. The little thing tried a few times without success, and then he lost his temper, twisted his body, and turned his back.

Mu Chen smiled and looked up at the beautiful night sky. Twinkling stars fill the night sky, and occasionally a few meteors cross by, in the Peach Blossom Spring, every day is such a beautiful scenery, Mu Chen felt homesick in his heart at this time, missing the life of the Peach Blossom Spring, and also missing the master. I don't know if Master is okay, and I don't know when I'll see Master again.

It was late at night, and the forest was quiet, Mu Chen gradually became sleepy, and turned his head to coax the little thing that had lost his temper just now. Unexpectedly, this little guy was lying flat and already asleep with his mouth open.

Mu Chen pulled over a towel and gently covered the little thing's body.
