Su Qing also heard the sound coming from the grass. She loaded the crossbow from Xiaoying’s hands, staring at the grass.
Zhong Yong was anxious when he saw Su Qing about to shoot the crossbow. He shook his head and gave her a stern look, implying that she should leave this prey to him.
Su Qing put down the crossbow when he saw Zhong Yong’s ridiculous look. The girls were all spirited. They threw down their baskets and stood up. Hunting was more interesting than weaving baskets.
A silly roe deer popped out from the grass as everyone was focused. Its innocent big eyes looked at everyone adorably. It even turned its head to look at Su Qing and the others. Its big black eyes were adorable.
When the girls saw such a cute and silly roe deer, they couldn’t bear to shoot it!
Zhong Yong’s eyes lit up when he saw the silly roe deer. He shouted like a bolt from the blue,
“Meat.”
The silly roe deer was so frightened by Zhong Yong’s shout that it jumped up and turned around to run. Zhong Yong raised two large hammers and chased after it.
Zhong Yong had just chased into the bushes when he heard a bear roar. A black bear nicknamed Blind Black glared at Zhong Yong and used its huge paw to slap him.
Zhong Yong did not expect a blind black man to jump out suddenly. He did not panic and raised his big hammer to smash it. This piece of meat was even fatter than the previous one. As he fought with the black bear, he shouted excitedly,
“Master, there’s meat.”
The black bear didn’t expect to meet someone even dumber than it. It panicked after failing to hit Zhong Yong twice. It let out a roar and nimbly turned its colossal body to pounce left and right toward Zhong Yong. Its movements were quite agile.
Zhong Yong broke out in a cold sweat from Black Blind’s work. He shouted,
“Master, I wanted to smash its head, but it wouldn’t let me.”
The girls were all scared silly by this behemoth. They did not dare to shoot the crossbows in their hands, afraid of accidentally injuring Zhong Yong.
Su Qing flew over like a shadow and snatched a hammer from Zhong Yong’s hand. She jumped up and smashed the black bear’s head. Black Blind was hit in the most vulnerable part of his head and fell to the ground with a scream.
The huge object smashed the ground and shook it. Zhong Yong looked at Su Qing with stars in his eyes.
“Master, I want to learn that move.”
When Su Qing heard the system’s announcement, she had leveled up to level three in her hunting. Her physique, spiritual power, combat power, and war god ability had all risen to level 41. She was in a good mood and told Zhong Yong about this move.
“Crushing Mount Tai.”
“Master, this is what I’m learning.”
Zhong Yong loved smashing heads the most, and the word ‘Crushing Mount Tai’ sounded very imposing. Zhong Yong asked Su Qing to teach him this move. “I will carry the bear back!”
Su Qing disagreed directly, but Zhong Yong took it as a yes and happily carried the black bear on his back.
When Jiang Yuyan saw Zhong Yong easily carrying such a heavy black bear, her eyes were filled with pink stars. Her bright eyes followed Zhong Yong’s tall and strong figure. She didn’t care about anything else, only this god-like man.
With this black bear, they would not starve for the next few days. The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were overjoyed.
Su Qing was not in a hurry to go back. She led the girls deeper into the mountains. The mountains were full of treasures, wild animals, and medicinal herbs.
“Sister Su Qing, what do you think that is?”
Xiaoying excitedly pointed at a plum tree in front of her. The branches covered with fruits swayed back and forth when the wind blew as if beckoning the girls to come and pick them! The red plums were already ripe.
“Pluck it.”
Su Qing was pleased. Plum was warm and could be eaten as a fruit or used as medicine. It was a good thing.
At her command, the girls cheered and rushed towards it. Now, they looked down on the ladies of noble families. After wearing men’s clothes for a long time, their personalities had become forthright.
Both Jiang Yuyan and Li Shuang’er could climb trees. They tied up their pants and climbed up the tree. Ji Xiaoying had no talent for climbing trees, so she did not climb up even though her face was red.
Ji Xiaoying was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw herself standing on a tree. In the next second, she felt herself being lifted.
“Sister Su Qing, you’re amazing.”
Ji Xiaoying told Su Qing excitedly. Su Qing smiled and did not reply, concentrating on plucking the plums.
The four of them and Su Qing made plucking progress at a rapid pace. She estimated that she could level up after plucking the plums on this tree.
Su Qing worked very hard, and so did the girls. They had plucked all the plums from the tree in less than ten minutes.
Standing on the tree, Su Qing found a chestnut tree. This was a good thing. They could eat it on the road. Just as she was about to call the girls down to pick the chestnuts, she heard Li Shuang’er’s excited voice.
“There’s a chestnut tree over there.”
“I can’t go down.”
When climbing up the tree, she just had to climb up. At that time, she was carrying an empty basket. It was challenging to get down the tree, but he couldn’t throw the basket down, afraid that it would break and she would have to pick plums.
Su Qing jumped down first and threw her basket on the ground. Then, she told the girls to throw their baskets down.
“Sister Su Qing, will it hit you?”
Xiaoying was worried she would hit Su Qing and did not dare to throw it down.
Su Qing shouted at her,
“Throw it.”
Xiaoying carefully threw the basket down. Su Qing caught it easily, then asked Jiang Yuyan and Li Shuang’er to throw the basket down.
It was easy for Li Shuang’er and Jiang Yuyan to get off the tree without the heavy burden. They hugged the tree trunk with both hands and went down. Ji Xiaoying was numb. She could not get up or down. She even felt dizzy when she looked down.
“Jump down.”
Su Qing could tell that Xiaoying was afraid, so she ordered her.
Xiaoying clenched her fists in fear and shouted,
“All!” She closed her eyes and jumped down.
Li Shuang’er and Jiang Yuyan subconsciously reached out to catch it, but Su Qing quickly caught Xiaoying and placed her on the ground.
Xiaoying only dared to open her eyes when she was on solid ground. When she saw that she had landed safely, she clenched her fists in front of her chest and looked at Su Qing with admiration.
“Sister Su Qing, you’re amazing!”
“Let’s go and pick chestnuts.”
Su Qing smiled and called the girls to pick chestnuts.
“Let’s pour the plums together!”
The four baskets were filled with more than half of the plums. There was no extra basket to store the chestnuts, so Jiang Yuyan suggested pouring the four baskets into two, leaving two empty baskets to hold the chestnuts.
After picking the chestnuts, she heard the system’s announcement. “Congratulations to the host for leveling up to level five. Your war god ability has risen to level 42. Please continue to work hard.”
“A present.”
Su Qing was about to ask for a gift. With the rank of chief hunter, she could ask for two gifts now.
“What does the host want?”
The system is helpless. This host is not at a disadvantage at all.
“You owe me two gifts. I’ll look for you when 1 remember what I want.”
Su Qing didn’t want to waste this quota. She needed something she needed urgently.
The system was speechless.
While Su Qing brought the girls to enjoy the harvest, Ji Shuisheng found a place to camp for the night.
Near the official road, there was a hillside with a U-shaped slope facing south. It was a good campsite. It was just enough to block the wind from the east, west, and north.
Ji Shuisheng brought people back to move and saw Zhong Yong carrying a blind black man around with a wide grin.
“There’s meat. My master killed it..”
