âLetâs go!â He grabbed her waist and pulled her away.
âSheâll be here any moment now.â
Mo Jiangye did not care. He increased the strength of his grip and pulled her away.
Ye Erruo was speechless.
âSlower. Walk slower.â Ye Erruo followed him in a small jog.
Behind them, Yao Tiao looked at the two people who had abandoned her in astonishment. F*ck...
âHungry?â He inquired as he turned his head to the side.
âIâm still alright.â
There was a small house in the forest beneath the mountains with a cooking fire. Mo Jiangye held her hand and walked toward it.
âWhy is someone else here?â Ye Erruo asked in disbelief.
âThere is nobody else.â
âWhat the heck! Why are they here again?â Xu Xu asked in alarm while holding a chicken in his hand.
âHe couldnât have come here to continue settling the score with us, right?â Zheng Yi stood up and walked around the fire.
Wang Yiyangâs expression remained calm. âHow could you think of our boss in such a manner? Is he such a petty person?â
Xu Xu and Zheng Yi said nothing.
Was that not the case?
âWhy, why are you here?â
Mo Jiangye glanced at the chicken in his hand and said lazily, âSheâs hungry.â
Xu Xu let out a sigh of relief. So they were there to find food!
âCome here. Let me tell you, sister-in-law, my roast chicken is one of the best.â Xu Xu began to pluck the chickenâs feathers after sitting down.
âThis chicken is a wild chicken. Its meat is chewy.â Zheng Yi placed the grill and blew at the fire.
There was another grill on the side with a small pot dangling from it and savory bone soup cooking in it.
Wang Yiyang went into the house to grab some ingredients and a fork.
Mo Jiangye pulled Ye Erruo to sit on a huge rock. âWait a while and it will be ready.â
âWhy is there a house here?â
Xu Xu handled the chicken roughly as he said, âThis is where we frequently go hunting. There are wild rabbits, wild chickens, wild pigs, lions, and tigers here.â
Ye Erruo was shocked. Lions? Tigers?
Upon seeing her startled expression, Zheng Yi smiled. âThis is the most primitive part of the forest and also the most dangerous part of it.â
âSister-in-law, have you eaten tiger meat before? If you havenât, we can get the boss to help you hunt one down.â
Ye Erruo shook her head. âI donât eat that kind of meat.â
âA chicken is not enough. You go hunt and get Yiyang to watch the fire.â Xu Xu threw the gun at Zheng Yi.
âGive me the gun,â Mo Jiangye said.
âYou are going to hunt? Then our food today is going to be sumptuous.â Xu Xu chopped off the chickenâs head with one swing of the knife.
â...â
âFollow me.â He took her petite hand.
Ye Erruo was excited. âOkay!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mo Jiangye brought a jacket from the house and placed it over Ye Erruoâs body. âLetâs go.â
âI am not cold.â
âWear it!â
Very soon, Ye Erruo understood why he wanted her to wear a jacket.
The place Mo Jiangye took her to was eerie. The leafy branches blocked more than half of the sunlight, and every tree reached high to the sky. They wouldnât have grown so strong without at least a few hundred thousand years! The plants here were lusher and taller than outside, as if they were about to become spirits.
Initially, she could still feel the sunlight. However, as they walked further in, the scenery became gloomier.
âStand beside me and watch where you are walking.â He held her soft hand tightly.
Ye Erruo found this strangely exciting. âCan you really hunt a tiger here?â
âYou can.â
âWoosh!â
Suddenly, a ball of white scuttled past them. Not far away, the fellaâs white butt peaked out from between the grass. Ye Erruoâs eyes glinted as she asked softly, âIs that a rabbit?â
Mo Jiangye squinted his eyes and grasped his gun to aim at the little fellaâs butt. âNot a rabbit.â
Bang!
The silent tranquilizer dart found the target without any error.
