Chapter 13: Wilderness

In the morning, it was cloudy and rainy.

Rumble~

There was lightning and thunder, and the rain was pouring. It has been raining from the second half of the night to now, and it can't stop.

Fang Zhixing, who got up early, looked at the heavy rain outside, and his mood couldn't be clear.

He originally planned to go hunting in the mountains today, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

"There's nothing to eat at home, so I have to go out even if it rains."

Fang Zhixing sighed softly.

He regretted a little and should have found a way to store some food to deal with this situation.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Every time he went to the river to fish, he would eat as much as he could catch, so that he would have the strength to practice archery and draw swords.

There was no possibility of preserving food.

Xigou hesitated and said: "If you don't have a raincoat, you will get wet when you go out. What should you do if you get sick?"

In this backward ancient mountain village, if you get sick, you can only fight hard. If you can't resist, you will die.

Fang Zhixing naturally knew this, but he was not sure how long the rain would last, and he couldn't wait for it to stop.

What's more, even if the rain stops, it may still rain when he is out, and there is always no way to avoid it.

One person and one dog went out in the rain.

The rain was heavy, and Fang Zhixing got soaked quickly, and the hair of the thin dog was wet and sticky to his body.

The roads in and outside the village are all dirt roads, and they become muddy after the rain.

Fang Zhixing walked out of the village with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and went to the river to fish.

Take a look when you get to the river!

The water in the river obviously swelled, the current was fast, the waves were rolling, and it was very fast.

"What the hell!"

Fang Zhixing stood on the shore, his hair stuck to his face, and his face was covered with rainwater.

We can't go into the river, it's too dangerous.

Xigou was also dumbfounded, and said through a message: "It's over now, and I may not be able to go down to the river in the next few days."

Fang Zhixing gritted his teeth, turned back to the woods, picked some wild vegetables, and then went home.

When he got home, he quickly lit a fire, dried his wet clothes, cooked wild vegetables, and barely fed himself.

In the afternoon, the rain still didn't stop, but got heavier and heavier.

There is stagnant water everywhere in the village, like a vast ocean.

Fang Zhixing realized that the problem was serious. This rain was unusual and a natural disaster.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening and it was still raining non-stop.

Fang Zhixing and Xigou were hungry again.

"Tomorrow, no matter how heavy the rain is, we have to go into the mountains to hunt." Fang Zhixing sighed.

The thin dog was listless and only snorted twice.

The night passed quickly.

On the next day, Fang Zhixing woke up from hunger and saw that the sky was still gloomy, but the rain had stopped.

The temperature dropped a lot and it was a bit chilly.

But he was overjoyed to have one person and one dog. He quickly packed up his hunting tools and went out into the mountains.

Not far away, it started to drizzle again, making people feel chilly.

Xigou glanced at the direction Fang Zhixing was heading and asked in shock: "Are you going to the hunting area occupied by Zhao Dahu and the others?"

Fang Zhixing nodded.

Xigou hesitated and said, "Aren't you afraid of something happening? Once a conflict breaks out between you and the old village chief's family, their Zhao family will have more arrows than you."

Fang Zhixing replied: "These days, the old village chief's family should be busy occupying the Song family's money and food, and will not go out hunting."

Xigou thought for a while and said hesitantly: "I hope so."

One person and one dog went deep into the mountains and walked a long way, estimated to be eleven or two miles.

When he was tired from walking, he sat under a big tree to rest.

"Ouch, the dog is so tired." The thin dog was also tired from the walk. He lay on the ground with his tongue hanging out and panting non-stop.

Wow~~

Unfortunately, the rain suddenly became heavy.

Fang Zhixing looked up at the sky, seeing dark clouds and thick lightning tearing the sky apart, like an angry dragon.

"Let's go, we can't stay under the tree." Fang Zhixing stood up and had to move in the rain.

They found a rock with an angle and hid in a narrow place, just enough to avoid the rain.

"Look, is that a piece of wild strawberry?" The thin dog saw something and stretched his neck.

Fang Zhixing followed his line of sight, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran over in three steps at a time.

I saw a slope covered with upright shrubs, which were wild strawberries. The branches were covered with red fruits, each one as big as a peanut.

Fang Zhixing quickly picked a wild strawberry and was about to put it into his mouth when he suddenly stopped.

"Slender dog, come here quickly." He called.

Xigou didn't want to get wet in the rain, so he shouted: "You hurry up and pick. What happened to me in the past? I can't help you."

Fang Zhixing curled his lips, spread out his ragged linen clothes and picked them quickly.

After a while, there were more and more wild strawberries in his arms, and he couldn't hold them anymore. At first glance, he saw that more than half of the wild strawberries were still unpicked.

Fang Zhixing turned back and sat down.

The thin dog immediately jumped on his lap and smelled the wild strawberries. The sweet smell hit his forehead and made his mouth water.

When Fang Zhixing saw this, he said: "Eat quickly."

The thin dog raised his head and bared his teeth: "What do you mean? It's always been you who eat first and I eat the rest?"

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "You discovered the wild strawberries, so you should be rewarded!"

"fart!"

The thin dog whined and bared his teeth, "You are so damn afraid that wild strawberries are poisonous, so you can use me as an experiment."

Fang Zhixing said without changing his expression: "You dog, you just don't know the heart of a good person, and you always judge the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart! Okay, okay, even if I want to use you for experiments, so what? What the hell do you have? Two lives, afraid of a hairy ball!”

Xigou sneered and said, "Fang Zhixing, I will remember you this time."

After that, he opened his mouth and bit into a few wild strawberries and ate them.

"Hey, it's delicious, sour and sweet!" Xigou was refreshed and ate like crazy.

Fang Zhixing looked at it, his stomach growling, and he kept swallowing saliva, but he forced himself to hold it back.

"Oh, it's delicious!"

"You don't want to eat it?"

"Really not?"

Xigou teased Fang Zhixing while eating, and he never got tired of it.

Fang Zhixing turned a deaf ear to him and waited for a long time to make sure that Xigou was fine before he started eating.

The wild strawberries really tasted good.

Or rather, since crossing into this world, this was the first time Fang Zhixing had eaten fruit, which was simply a luxury.

He ate it all in one breath, relieved his hunger, and went to pick it a second time, sweeping up a large area of ​​wild strawberries and eating them all, until he was about 60% full.

The rain was getting heavier.

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "After this rain, I'm afraid the disaster will be more serious and the world will become more chaotic."

Xigou pondered and said, "Remember the human trafficker Boss Qian? Look how well he is doing! I think we have to find a way out and can't be trapped in Funiu Village."

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "We know nothing about the outside world. If we run around randomly, our situation may be even more difficult."

Xigou said seriously, "We have to go to a big city. The powerful people live in the city. Let me tell you, if I reincarnate as a human, I must still be very handsome. I can easily flirt with a rich woman and don't have to worry about anything."
