"Have you heard? Young Master Bai Ling will meet with Prime Minister Xiao in the next few days, have you heard?" A companion said to Chang Yufeng: "Our good days are coming."

"What's wrong?" Chang Yufeng grabbed a rabbit by its neck and put it into the cage. There were many rabbits jumping around inside.

This companion is an old hunter who is much older than Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng becomes familiar with him every time he follows him.

"It's June now, and Bai Ling will be paying tribute soon, so there will be a free meal." The companion also grabbed a rabbit and put it into the cage.

"That's it...but, what does this have to do with the Prime Minister's coming? Aren't there free meals on Bai Ling's memorial day?" Chang Yufeng put a pole on the hook of the cage and waved his hand.

Hook, hook the other cage containing the pheasant, and pick it up.

Look up at the road and walk slowly on the mountain.

"Of course it does matter. Don't you know that Chang Yu is here to host a kind of competition?" The companion also picked up the pole and followed Chang Yufeng.

"What competition? I really don't know about this aspect. I just came here." Chang Yufeng naturally didn't know that he had already spent a lot of time and effort to build a larger warehouse in the past few days. In order to make his other

The earthen house he built was beautiful, so he found a lot of branches with flowers and grafted them in front of his house.

Then, in addition to hunting all day long, he also released and sold some caught pheasants, hares, sparrows, and even some birds that were also caught in traps. Long Feather Maple didn't like to eat fish, but the cage by the stream

It still needs to be released. If someone buys it, you will make some money. If someone doesn't buy it, you will keep it.

He is currently preparing to excavate a basement, but the amount of work is relatively large. If the basement does not have the freezing function of an ice cellar, it is probably not possible, so he is testing how deep to dig. It would not be very good if he digs something weird.

.

I'm a little worried, but at least it's fulfilling and I can make some money, so I'm not dissatisfied.

If things go on like this, I won't have to worry about food and clothing, and I can think about my next move.

For almost two months, he had no time to pay attention to everything that happened.

It was as if he had been abandoned suddenly.

If this is also part of the plan, then it's okay. If you're afraid that you're outside the plan, that's what makes people scared.

Not knowing anything is already very common. There is no need to be surprised at all. No matter what, I can survive alone. No dreams or ideals can exist at all. I can eat enough now.

It's entirely because of the wit and confidence I have accumulated.

Without self-confidence, it is impossible to live.

Two months ago, I fell into a situation of having nothing. This is not terrible. What is terrible is that I am unwilling to face it. I go round and round, but in the end it is all in vain.

He didn't know what Xunhuangying was thinking, but he knew that his value was definitely still there. When Vulcan found him, it seemed like he didn't help him at all, but in fact it gave him confidence. When Xunhuangying met

Trouble, I have to wait.

As for what the trouble is, we still don’t know, so we can only take our time.

How to take your time?

First, eat well and drink well first, so as not to starve yourself to death.

Second, wait. Wait for nature to take its course, and don’t interfere with everything that happens.

Third, calm your mind, don’t think blindly, and don’t act haphazardly.

Now, it is not necessarily someone pretending to be oneself, it is also possible that the real "self" came to Bailing Mountain.

This "self" may be created by someone - a made-up substitute.

Just like Xunhuangying can change into his own appearance at will, someone can definitely do the same thing.

Then, there will only be more and more uncertain things.

"Dueling match."

"never heard of that……"

The two of them were walking on the road, two carrying poles were creaking as they walked. It was dusk now, and two silhouettes were walking on the path in Bailing Mountain. The rice harvesters also piled up the rice piles and covered them with thin waterproof materials.

The golden fields are filled with golden soil, the cicadas chirp in the forest, and the sound of frogs can be heard.

"Oh, it literally means a duel competition. Aren't all the disciples of Bailing Mountain allowed to return home? Before they return home, a larger duel competition will be held to determine the three winners to form a team, like you

Children like this can participate. Although you can't beat the regular disciples, you can definitely get a small reward." The companion's voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke very enthusiastically.

"According to ranking?" Chang Yufeng looked at the stones under his feet and avoided them. The pole made a creaking sound, and the pheasant snarled. Chang Yufeng took out his hand and patted the cage.

"No, you will get a prize if you participate. It's normal if you live alone and don't know. But I heard that this time, there seems to be no limit on strength, only age. It's a pity that this time, top-notch experts cannot participate.

"The companion glanced at Chang Yufeng with some pity, then walked behind, and the rabbits also looked at him.

"Those who can make a name for themselves this time will definitely become great in the future. However, it seems that it just depends on their strength, and it only depends on the point. The specific rules seem to be very simple, just win in a regular way. I tell you, I definitely hope you will give it a try.

. If you can reach this point by yourself, our whole Bailing Mountain street is watching. If you go out and make a name, participate in the next spiritual power test, and enter Bailing Mountain to practice, you will not have to worry about food.

If you wear it, you will have a brighter future. That's what children should strive for. Hunting every day like me is useless."

"How can you say that...Uncle...why did you suddenly say this..." Chang Yufeng looked at the farmers who were also walking from other paths, and carefully stepped aside to let the people in front go first.

"I see that you are so hard-working and handsome, so you really shouldn't be like us. There is really no future for you to get up early and stay late all day to deal with the little things in the woods. Children must either go to school or practice.

It’s something that young people should do well.” My companion didn’t seem to think so and said his own understanding.

"Uncle, I know what you mean, and I will think about it carefully. People have to have enough to eat, right? I live alone and am comfortable. It's okay to suffer."

Even if Chang Yufeng felt uncomfortable, he would not say anything about it. For an ordinary child, he really had no future like this, and it was not impossible to waste his whole life here.

I have nothing now, no identity, no help, no money, only a nest of dried meat, a field of potato seedlings, two small mud houses, some tools, and a cabinet.

At least I'm thankful that I don't need to eat hair and drink blood, I can live like a normal person, I won't go hungry, and I won't lose my faith in living.

There is no gap because I have endured all kinds of hardships.

The pain of boiling blood,

the pain of burning,

The pain of extreme cold,

The pain of puncture,

Wait for the suffering.

Already experienced it.

Compared with the old fool who didn't understand anything, and the current Chang Yufeng who can fill his stomach without relying on Xun Huangying, there is a huge difference.

My heart has been polished long ago. Although I still have no direction, no foreseeable future, and cannot save Lin'er from the suffering of reincarnation, at least I will never flinch from the courage I have gained over several lifetimes.

Just like now, something went wrong with Xunhuangying, and he didn't panic at all. He and Xunhuangying had gone through life and death all the way, so how could he stop?

If this operation can come into contact with Bai Ling Mountain and the "Young Master Bai Ling", maybe we will gain some insights.

However, this matter is still very strange. The Prime Minister came to preside over it. It must be on a grand scale and all members will receive prizes. Isn't it just to get more people to participate... Could he be looking for someone? Or someone very powerful?

What will people do after the winner is determined? Will the winner be required to perform a task?

"Well, it's good if you have such a consciousness. You are a good boy. I'm not worried. What I'm worried about is my kid. He also wants to participate."

"Uncle, it's okay to let him exercise."

"Yeah, I thought about it too. It's just that I feel very uneasy... Children who are careless and have a strong desire to win often beat people to death."

"Isn't that the point..."

"Aren't I afraid...you don't understand, as long as a martial arts tournament is held, the dead are no longer afraid of it."

"Ah...that's really scary."

When they entered the main road, it was only dark, but at this time there was only the crowd and the sound of frogs in the distance. The lights on the street came on, and they walked by the lights.

"You go home early and don't run around, you know?" The uncle stopped at the intersection with a pole and looked at Chang Yufeng's face, which was only half illuminated.

"I understand, uncle." Chang Yufeng nodded and said, "Uncle, I won't go tomorrow. I'm very interested in this competition and want to give it a try. I need to make more preparations."

"Well, it would be great if my boy was as good as you. He doesn't study well, and he doesn't know what to do in the future." The uncle turned around and left with a pole.

"Goodbye, uncle."

"See you."

Chang Yufeng quickly walked back to her earthen house on a hillside, took out the pole and placed it on the wall in a cage made of bamboo. The rabbit was jumping around, but the pheasant was motionless.

Light a candle and bring a basin of water to wash your hands in the sink.

Even if no one talks, Chang Yufeng is basically not silent, but will say something to himself, otherwise he will be too lonely.

"Rabbit, rabbit, although you are very cute, I can't starve to death, can you?" Chang Yufeng took out the condiments from the cabinet and put them on the stove in another earthen house of his, and then put on a show.

"Ah, Chili Chili, why are you so spicy?" Chang Yufeng turned around, went to the warehouse to get firewood, and took out flint and a knife from the cabinet.

"How about... kill a ready-made one today and eat it... I always eat pickled meat, it's almost salty." Chang Yufeng patted his head and grabbed a rabbit from the cage.

On his hand, the rabbit stared at its legs and waggled its ears.

"Wash it clean first..." Chang Yufeng cleaned the rabbit in front of a stone platform specially made for handling small animals, put the rabbit meat piece by piece into the bowl, and washed all the knives.

Then slowly wipe the stone table clean, put the rabbit fur and offal on a plate, and throw it into a special trash can.

In order to prevent some monsters or beasts from chasing after the smell of blood, Chang Yufeng must quickly prepare roast rabbit meat and then go to bed.
