When Mu Xiaowan heard Yang Guang’s words, her face instantly turned red in front of everyone. She spat at him, “Bah, stop dreaming!”
Knowing that the two of them were used to quarreling, everyone just laughed and did not take it seriously.
Then, Qi Yingxue remembered the matter of going into the mountains to pick mushrooms. She said, “Wenwen, you just came. Please familiarize yourself with the place first. We’ll go into the mountains to pick some mushrooms and come back. We’ll fry them for lunch!”
“Okay. Then you guys pay attention to your safety. I heard that some ferocious beasts have appeared in the mountains recently,” said Lu Wenwen.
“Don’t worry. With Yang Guang around, he’s stronger than a bear!” Said Mu Xiaowan.
Yang Guang was speechless. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her.
However, he still got himself ready quickly. Then, he brought Qi Yingxue and Mu Xiaowan out.
The three of them left the village. As they walked through the valley that led deep into the mountains, they smelled the fragrance of the various plants in the mountains and plains. Their mood became entirely free from worry.
In her elation, Mu Xiaowan even picked some wildflowers and made two garlands. Then, she put them on with Qi Yingxue.
Yang Guang was happy as they were happy. Hence, he threw the matter of where he would be staying at night to the back of his mind.
Picking mushrooms was not the main task. They were there mainly for fun.
After all, the ladies were from the city. Yang Guang did not have much to entertain them, so he could only accompany them into the mountains to have some fun.
The three of them quickly entered the forest. Since no one had cut the grass or the firewood for many years, the forest was now full of weeds. It was not easy to find mushrooms.
However, they were in the mountains after all, and the season was just right. Therefore, everyone quickly discovered many straw mushrooms and other fungi, and they were immediately overjoyed.
Just as everyone bent down to look at the bushes and ground, there was a sudden bang a few meters away. Following that, a huge figure rose into the air and flew to the tree in the distance with a quacking sound!
Mu Xiaowan was shocked and immediately went into Yang Guang’s arms. Qi Yingxue was not in a good state either. She was so shocked that her face turned pale.
Yang Guang was helpless. He shouted at the pheasant on the tree, “D*mn you, you scared me!”
“What is that thing?” Mu Xiaowan asked.
“It’s just a pheasant!”
Yang Guang patted her head. “Alright, don’t be afraid. In fact, it is even more afraid than us!”
“Such a sudden shock. Who can stand it?” Mu Xiaowan was speechless.
Yang Guang chuckled. “Don’t be angry. I’ll avenge you later!”
After saying that, he looked around and picked up a stone the size of a goose egg under the tree.
“What? You want to use this thing to kill a pheasant?” Mu Xiaowan asked in surprise.
“That’s right, I don’t have any other weapons!”
Yang Guang nodded and squinted his eyes to aim.
Mu Xiaowan was speechless and turned to look at Qi Yingxue. “This guy is really funny. If the stone can kill a pheasant, then I shall eat the stone!”
“Don’t be too confident. Be careful that it really comes true!” Qi Yingxue said with a smile.
“Tsk, I don’t believe it…”
Before Mu Xiaowan could finish her words, Yang Guang waved his hand and the stone flew out like lightning. It hit the pheasant that was squatting on the branch!
The huge impact directly shattered the pheasant’s bones. It immediately cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Then, it fell into the grass and stopped moving!
Yang Guang turned around and looked at Mu Xiaowan. “What did you say just now?”
“No, I didn’t say anything!” Mu Xiaowan hurriedly shook her head.
Qi Yingxue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Yang Guang quickly ran to the tree not far away and picked up the pheasant. “Wow, it’s so fat. We will have a delicious meal again today!”
“Is this thing delicious?”
Mu Xiaowan was curious. She tilted her head and looked at the pheasant with a colorful tail in his hand.
“The meat of this wild pheasant is relatively dry and rather hard. It won’t be easy to stew.”
Yang Guang said this and then chuckled. “But after cooking properly, the taste is still very good!”
“Are you sure? If it’s not good, I’ll settle the score with you again!” Mu Xiaowan said.
“Don’t worry, how would I lie to you?”
Yang Guang smiled and turned his head to see Qi Yingxue standing still with her body slightly trembling. He was instantly stunned.
Following her sight, Yang Guang’s heart skipped a beat. Then, he cursed, “F*ck, why is there such a thing?!”
It was a python. Its body was a few meters long and it was hanging on a tree. Its head, which was as thick as an arm, was hanging in mid-air and it was sticking its tongue out at everyone!
Seeing that Qi Yingxue was scared out of her wits, Yang Guang held her hand. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”
After saying that, he made the two ladies step back and raised the woodcutter to slash the python!
This python was much smaller than the one that nearly strangled him last time. Seeing that it was still sticking out its tongue at him, Yang Guang did not stand on ceremony. He raised the woodcutter and hacked at it!
With a plop, the python’s head fell to the ground.
The python’s body instantly slid down from the tree and fell into the grass.
“Alright, we need not worry about our lunch anymore. They are all mountain delicacies!” Yang Guang laughed.
Mu Xiaowan’s eyes were wide open. “This thing can be eaten too?”
“Of course, it’s delicious too!”
Yang Guang nodded and continued, “You’ll know when we get back. Later, just don’t swallow your tongue too!”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the python. He directly used the woodcutter to chop the python into many pieces in the blink of an eye!
Qi Yingxue and Mu Xiaowan did not dare to look at it. They felt that it was a little too cruel!
After chopping the python, Yang Guang made a string of grass to skewer its meat. Then, he said, “I’ll have to trouble the two of you to help with the mushrooms and pheasant. I have to carry this!”
“No problem. Do you need me to help you carry such a heavy thing?” Qi Yingxue asked.
“No need. I can carry it!”
Yang Guang chuckled and directly picked up the python meat.
It was only slightly past ten, but because their harvest was great, the three of them set off on their return journey, chatting and laughing as they went home.
When they returned home, Xu Ling and the others did not expect Yang Guang to bring back so many things.
However, when they saw the python, she and Lu Wenwen still revealed a trace of fear and did not dare to approach it.
Fortunately, there was still Wu Xiaolian. She wasn’t afraid. After all, she had seen this kind of snake many times since she grew up as a child in the mountains.
Therefore, she quickly boiled a pot of hot water and processed the python meat.
Yang Guang plucked the pheasant’s feathers and removed its internal organs. Then, he chopped it into pieces and threw them into the pot together with the python meat.
“I heard that there’s a dish in the south called Dragon and Tiger Fight. Let’s call this Dragon and Phoenix Fight for our lunch today!” Yang Guang said with a smile.
“I just don’t know if it’s delicious.”
Mu Xiaowan stood by the pot and said.
“Don’t worry. You should be confident in my sister-in-law’s cooking skills. It must be very delicious!” Yang Guang said with a smile.
Mu Xiaowan still remained skeptical and didn’t quite believe his words.
However, as the water in the pot boiled again and the fragrance of the meat drifted out, she changed her mind.. She turned her head and said, “Wow, I’ve never smelled such a fragrant smell before!”
