Extra: Full Moon

"Xiaoyou."

"Um?"

Gu You, who was sitting by the stream in a daze, turned around and said, "Xiao San, why are you here?"

Tang San walked to Gu You in silence, first glanced at the empty bucket beside him, then quickly snatched the fishing rod from Gu You's hand and lifted it up.

The shiny silver fishhook reflects the orange-red brilliance of the sunset.

"Alas~"

Tang San sighed: "I told you earlier, instead of going fishing, you might as well go into the mountains and pick some fresh mushrooms for me."

"Ahem."

Maybe it was because of the setting sun, Gu You's face was slightly red. He touched his nose and said awkwardly: "It's rare for Sister Yiran to come over as a guest. Wouldn't it be nice to eat grilled fish on the hour?"

"Only if you can catch it."

Tang San covered his face with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and pointed upstream: "Look over there."

Following the direction of Tang San's finger, Gu You saw a majestic rooster standing on a stone in the shallows fifty meters away in the upper reaches of the stream.

Staring at the water with rapt concentration.

"Click!"

With a flutter of its wings, its body, which is slightly larger than an ordinary rooster, soars into the air and glides over the shallow water. Then it retracts its wings close to its sides, straightens its neck and pierces the water with its sharp beak, disappearing into the splashing water.

Five seconds later, when it reappeared, it held a crucian carp about 20 centimeters long in its mouth. With its head raised like a general returning from a victory, it flopped towards the shore.

The crucian carp was motionless and there was a small hole on its head. It was obvious that it could not die anymore.

"Even Dawn can't compare to the Fishing Master?"

Snap!

Gu You slapped his thigh, pointed at Ming Ming and shouted angrily: "Ming Ming!"

He just said that he could catch two fish yesterday, but there was no chance that the air force would suddenly come out today.

It turned out that it was all the fault of bringing Li Ming here to play in the water. It was all my fault that it snatched away all the fish upstream.

"Huh?"

Throwing the newly obtained prey on the built fish mountain and shaking off the water droplets on his body, Li Ming tilted his head, unable to understand why his master was pointing at him and yelling.

Don’t think there’s enough fish to eat?

Thinking of his master's daily appetite, Li Ming was about to go into the water to catch fish when he was startled by the blue silver grass that suddenly grew on the ground.

"Be quiet."

Controlling the Blue Silver Grass to bring the distant Dawn and Yushan to his side, Tang San turned the fishing rod in his hand and gently tapped Gu You's head with the wooden gripper.

Not knowing what Gu You could do to fight with the chicken, Tang San said helplessly: "It's getting dark, just take the fish and go back."

"oh."

After stuffing the still-glaring fish into the bucket, Ming Ming took the lead and walked home proudly, followed by Gu You, who was carrying the bucket and talking casually.

Gu You's face was full of reluctance: "Tsk, isn't it just fifteen fish? It's not like I haven't caught them before. Wait, let's see if I bring twenty fish back tomorrow to scare you to death."

Tang San, who was half a step behind, rolled his eyes.

Good guy, you really have no idea about fishing, right?

Tang San was also drunk, even though he had short arms and legs when he was a kid, he could still catch a few fish. Why do I catch fewer fish as I get older?

Not long after, the two of them returned to the yard. Xiao Wu, who noticed that Gu You was holding a full bucket in his hand and secretly eating carrots while chopping vegetables, was surprised: "There is no air force today?!"

It's no wonder Xiao Wuwu was so surprised. After all, according to her common sense, Gu You shouldn't catch fish.

During the long evolution, humans and domestic animals have adapted to a civilized and stable environment, and their physical senses and sensitivity to environmental changes are far inferior to those of animals living in the wild.

Just as ordinary people cannot understand the world through color-blind eyes, humans are also unable to understand the judgment standards of animals with keen senses living in the dangerous wilderness.

In ancient times, the body was abnormally developed, and it was actually a human cub that was still far from becoming an adult at the age of eighteen. In the eyes of animals with keen senses, he possesses the ultimate teleportation fear beast martial spirit, and is completely a terrifying monster that emits "don't mess with me" signals all over his body.

There was a monster sitting motionless on the shore. Not to mention the fish in the water, even the rabbit that was stupid enough to hit and die on the tree stump knew to take a detour.

"You, me, it"

Such outright distrust made Gu You so angry that he almost couldn't hold it in one breath.

It’s not the Air Force if you can bring something home!

After glaring at Xiao Wu who refused to open any pot, Gu You pouted and ran to the backyard dejectedly to find Lanta to help wash the fish.

"???"

Xiao Wu's head was full of questions, and she asked Tang San, who was following behind and tilted his head: "What's wrong with him?"

"No, it's okay."

After struggling to hold back his smile, Tang San took a deep breath and pointed at the corner of Xiao Wu's mouth with a sullen face: "Eat on the sly again. If you don't hurry up and cut the vegetables, I will confiscate your pocket money for a month."

Raising her hand to wipe her mouth, Xiao Wu shrank her head and replied, "Oh."

The sun slowly disappeared into the horizon, replaced by a blazing bonfire in the yard.

The coals of the barbecue grill are ready, and the processed vegetables and meat are tied into strings with slender iron skewers and placed neatly on the table.

It is rare for everyone to gather together, and it happens to coincide with the full moon in August. Under Tang San's strong suggestion, everyone gathered in Holy Soul Village and organized a moon-viewing barbecue party in the name of celebrating their successful promotion to Soul Lord.

"Three, two, one, cheers to Soul Lord!"

Gu You, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Lanta, and Meng Yiran raised their glasses and clinked them with each other, using juice instead of wine to start a minor drinking contest.

Pretending to shake the grape juice in his hand, Meng Yiran said to Gu: "As expected of you, it's your first time in the Desert of Death, and you unexpectedly encountered a rare "feast"."

"Don't mention it,"

Gu You waved his hand like a fly: "Have you ever seen moving mountains? A mountain rushed over with a sandstorm, and it almost scared me to death."

"Fortunately, we were lucky that day and we didn't explore too deeply. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see us today."

"Yeah,"

Meng Yiran raised his eyebrows: "But I heard from others that for those who encounter the Feast and come back alive, the final reward is beyond imagination."

After drinking the orange juice in his hand, Gu You smiled and replied: "It's barely okay, at least I didn't lose money."

Meng Yiran discussed with Gu You what he had seen during his trip to the Death Desert. On the other side, Xiao Wu was also excitedly communicating with Lanta about what he had seen and heard while hunting for souls.

The only adult present, Old Jack, who was not a soul master, could not understand a word. He smiled and looked at the children's happy faces, raised his head and drank the good wine in the glass.

As he got older, he was more happy that his children had returned safely than other trivial matters.

Well, actually not everyone is happy.

After Tang San drank the juice, he stood in front of the barbecue grill with a wretched look on his face, and worked hard to help everyone make today's dinner.

There was nothing he could do. Who told him to fail miserably in the guessing game just now?

"Mistress, can you hurry up? I'm going to starve to death."

Gu You was impatient because of hunger. Tang San handed over the meat skewers that were still sizzling and oily, and said, "Here, let it cool down before eating."

"You have to eat barbecue so hot it's sizzling, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot."

"Water, drink water quickly!"

"Brother, juice."

"Hahaha!"

Gu You stuck out his tongue to fan himself, anxious old Jack and Lanta brought the juice, Xiao Wu laughed heartily, and Meng Yiran also tilted his head and shook his shoulders.

In the messy yard, the corners of Tang San's mouth raised and he couldn't help but laugh.

"I told you to let it cool before eating."
