Chapter 113 - 113 113 Starving

113: Chapter 113: Starving 113: Chapter 113: Starving Having set out, the two had walked through the mountainside for over half an hour, by which time the surrounding forest had become densely overgrown.

Moreover, the presence of huge trees signaled that the area hadn’t been visited by humans for many years.

Wandering such woodlands, Yang Ruoxi felt a mix of instinctual fear and excitement!

However, she remained silent, not speaking to Chen Yang, because they were here to hunt!

Making noise and scaring off any nearby animals would be trouble!

Chen Yang led the way with Yang Ruoxi following him, while Brother Eagle circled in the sky not too far away.

Chen Yang’s gaze swiveled left and right, scouting for any signs of animals hiding in the nearby shrubbery.

After searching for more than half an hour,

he finally spotted a target.

It was a small deer about two hundred meters from Chen Yang!

The creature was not very large, just a little bigger than an average local dog.

The deer stepped through the underbrush, occasionally lowerings its head to nibble on the ground’s vegetation or raising it to feed on the leaves of shrubs.

“Got a target!

Stay here and don’t move, I’ll be right back,” Chen Yang turned around upon sighting the prey, carefully instructing Yang Ruoxi to stay put.

On hearing there was a target, Yang Ruoxi immediately drew close to Chen Yang, scanning left and right while also asking, “Where is it?

Where is it?”

Chen Yang carefully lifted his hand and pointed ahead, “See that moving target?

That’s our dinner for tonight.”

“Wow!

A deer!” Yang Ruoxi exclaimed with excitement, licking her lips with her little pink tongue, looking very eager.

Chen Yang patted her shoulder, “Stay here and don’t move, wait here until I take it down, then I’ll come back for you.”

“Okay,” Yang Ruoxi nodded and obediently stood still without moving.

Seeing this, Chen Yang drew out his machete from behind and began advancing slowly, aiming to approach the grazing deer without making a sound.

With Chen Yang in action, Brother Eagle above also noted the deer below.

But it couldn’t directly engage.

The dense forest below hindered its attack.

It could only play a supportive role,

with the main act still depending on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang, machete in hand, inched closer to the deer.

Perhaps due to the area being undisturbed by people for a long time, the deer let down its guard.

It was oblivious to the fact that someone was slowly approaching nearby.

By the time Chen Yang was within five meters of it, the deer suddenly caught his scent and turned to run.

Had it noticed earlier, it could have escaped.

The surrounding thickets were truly a haven for these deer.

If it had started to flee, surely no one would have been able to keep up.

But Chen Yang was only five meters away!

Before it could even begin to run, Chen Yang dashed forward and the back of the machete thumped against its head.

With a groan, the deer’s eyes rolled back as it fainted.

Seeing the deer fall to the ground, Yang Ruoxi rushed over at once.

“Chen Yang, you’re so amazing!

On TV, they say these wild deer are very fast!

I can’t believe you caught one alive!” Yang Ruoxi said excitedly, approaching closer.

Chen Yang glanced at her with a smile but didn’t say much.

He bent down, hoisted the deer from the ground, and prepared to return.

“Let’s head back early, otherwise it’s going to be troublesome when it gets dark.”

“Okay.”

Yang Ruoxi looked up at the sky and noticed the sun was nearly gone, so she quickly followed Chen Yang’s pace.

The path up the mountain had been tough, but the journey back down was much smoother.

Without stopping to rest, the two made their way directly down the mountain.

By the time the two returned home, the sky had already darkened.

When Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi got home, they saw Li Han standing at the door, her face full of worry, waiting for them.

However, upon seeing them return, the worry on her face instantly vanished.

“Why have you two come back so late!” Li Han stepped forward and asked.

“Sis!

Let me tell you how awesome Chen Yang is…” Chen Yang didn’t even get a chance to speak when Yang Ruoxi immediately stepped forward, took Li Han’s hand, and narrated today’s scene of Chen Yang catching the wild deer.

After listening to Yang Ruoxi’s retelling of the event, Li Han was also taken aback, never expecting Chen Yang to be so formidable.

He had approached the wild deer silently and even managed to capture it alive.

Li Han instinctively turned her head to look at Chen Yang and saw the deer he was carrying on his shoulder.

Seeing Chen Yang with the deer, Li Han quickly made way for him to go inside first.

Without saying another word, Chen Yang went inside and placed the deer’s body in the backyard.

Popping his hands, he said, “It weighs at least seventy pounds; that’ll be enough to eat for a while.”

Li Han and Yang Ruoxi, who had followed behind, couldn’t help but laugh at his remark, “It feels like we’re living like cavemen, having to rely on hunting for our livelihood.”

Hearing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle, then said, “It’s getting late, Li Han, would you mind boiling some water for me in the kitchen?

I’ll take care of this body, and then we can have dinner, how about that?”

“Okay,” Li Han nodded, then turned to head to the kitchen.

Li Han was quite familiar with the layout of Chen Yang’s house, as she had been there several times before.

“Chen Yang, what should I do?” Seeing Li Han busy with the water, Yang Ruoxi also came up to ask.

“Hmm…”

After a moment’s thought, Chen Yang said, “You can help me as my assistant.”

“Great!”

Yang Ruoxi rubbed her hands together with excitement, eager to try.

At home, she was used to having everything done for her, and now that she actually had something to do, she was looking forward to it.

Chen Yang went to the inner room and brought out some tools for processing the deer.

Once Li Han had the hot water ready, he began to work on the deer.

Chen Yang was very skilled and quick at processing the meat.

It wasn’t long before he had the deer meat cut into separate pieces.

Chen Yang selected a few choice cuts from the meat to try that evening; the rest he stored in the kitchen.

Once the meat was prepared, it was time to heat the pan with oil and prepare for a hearty meal.

It was nearing seven o’clock, and both women were already hungrily rumbling their stomachs.

“Chen Yang, how much longer until this is ready?” asked Yang Ruoxi, swallowing saliva as she watched Chen Yang cleaning the pot.

Seeing Yang Ruoxi’s eagerness, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh, “Not long, an hour will be enough.”

“An hour?

I feel like I’m going to starve to death,” Yang Ruoxi rolled her eyes and said.

“Haha, well, there’s nothing we can do about it, is there?

Who told us to come back late?” Chen Yang turned back around, continuing to focus on cleaning the pot.

Yang Ruoxi, feeling helpless, went to the inner room, leaving Chen Yang alone to busy himself in the kitchen.

Time passed quickly, and an hour soon flew by.

At that point, Chen Yang’s deer meat had been stewed just right.

The entire room was filled with the aroma of the meat.

Already very hungry, the three of them salivated even more at the smell, almost wishing they could lift the lid off the pot at that very moment and dig in.

Before Chen Yang could lift the pot, Li Han and Yang Ruoxi had already taken their bowls and chopsticks to wait in front of it.

The sight of the two looking so greedy made Chen Yang laugh.

“You two are too much!

I’ve been busy this whole time, and you didn’t even bother to get me a bowl or chopsticks,” Chen Yang said to the two women.

At that remark, both women let out an awkward laugh, then Li Han got up to get a bowl and chopsticks for Chen Yang too.
