Creating a Different World - Chapter 2614

[Chapter 2614 Hunting]

In the early morning, before daybreak, Jia Zhengjin set out on horseback and arrived at Tongshan City early.

Because it was a temporary team mission, he was not going alone, so he temporarily modified a wooden cart in the orphanage.

The orphanage already had the cart, so he just had to put it on the horse.

He personally drove the simple carriage, took Meili and Tatanil out of the city, and headed towards Wuzhu City.

Because the 1 silver coin that Jia Zhengjin donated yesterday was exchanged for the cheapest bread, the people in the orphanage did not have to worry about being hungry for the time being, and Meili and Tatanil could also set off with peace of mind. It was

very quiet along the way. After all, Jia Zhengjin was not familiar with either of them, and the fact that the dean fainted from hunger yesterday made Meili and Tatanil more stressed and depressed.

The road from Tongshan City to Wuzhu City was still quite safe. There were no dangerous wild animals lurking, and no bandits blocking the road.

When the sun slowly rose, Wuzhu City and the surrounding environment could be seen from afar.

“Oh~” It was not easy for the inferior horse to persist here. Jia Zhengjin parked the car by the roadside and said, “Take a short break.”

“Okay!” Meili and Tatanil got out of the car quickly and ran to the stream by the roadside to wash their faces.

Jia Zhengjin led the bad horse to the grass and tied it up, letting it eat some grass and rest for a while. He also took the water bottle to the stream and filled it.

Although they were in the same team, the three of them did not talk more than five sentences throughout the whole process.

Sitting on the grass by the stream, there was nothing to say, and the atmosphere was rather awkward.

If Meili and Tatanil had not been trying to make money as soon as possible to bring back to the orphanage, they would not have been in a hurry to form a temporary team with Jia Zhengjin.

Jia Zhengjin did not like this depressing atmosphere. He turned his head and looked around. He saw a cute, round and fat horned rabbit in the grass on the other side of the stream.

The guy looked very festive, and girls probably liked it, so he whispered a reminder: “Look!”

He wanted to use this cute horned rabbit to break the awkward atmosphere. Since they were in a team, they had to be more harmonious.

According to his own ideas, Meili and Tatanil would not be able to resist the charm of such a cute horned rabbit and their eyes would be filled with love.

Unexpectedly, the next development was unimaginable.

When Meili and Tatanil turned around and saw the horned rabbit, they were indeed very excited. However, the next moment, Tatanil drew his bow and shot an arrow. A silver light flashed, and the horned rabbit screamed and fell down.

“Great!” Meili quickly stepped on the stone to cross the message, grabbed the body of the horned rabbit, turned back and shouted happily, “What a fat rabbit, our lunch is settled!”

“Yeah~” Tatanil was very excited, “I haven’t eaten horned rabbit meat for a long time, I drool just thinking about it!”

“Let’s have a full meal today!” Meili said.

“Hmm!”

What the hell? This is not right! Shouldn’t a normal girl say that the rabbit is so cute and I want to take it home to raise it?

How can these two girls? Seeing them squatting excitedly by the stream, skillfully gutting the horned rabbit, peeling the skin and bones, Jia Zhengjin’s mouth twitched, they were simply two female butchers!

But on second thought, they were hungry and full in the orphanage, racking their brains every day for food, it seems normal for them to do this.

“Cohen, can you make a fire? Let’s smoke the meat to prevent it from going bad.” Mary turned and shouted at him.

“Oh!” Jia Zhengjin scratched his head, thinking that although it was unexpected, it was still a good idea, at least they could talk.

So he made a simple campfire and lit a fire.

Thanks to the horned rabbit, the three of them sat around the campfire and finally talked.

Perhaps because of the food, Mary and Tatanil were in a better mood and not as silent as before.

While smoking meat and talking, the awkward atmosphere between them faded a little.

“Look!” Not long after, Tatanil suddenly stood up and pointed to the bushes farther away on the opposite side, “There’s another one!”

“Quick! Catch it quickly!” Mary was excited, “Take it back, the dean and the children haven’t eaten meat for a long time.”

“Well, watch me!” Tatanil picked up the bow and arrow, quickly crossed the stream, and ran all the way to the distance.

When she was about to draw the bow and arrow, the horned rabbit alertly found something wrong, turned around and went into the bushes, and ran quickly towards the mountain.

“Stop!” How could Tatanil let the prey fly away? He chased after it and rushed to the mountain.

“Hey! We are not here to hunt.” Jia Zhengjin turned to Meili and said.

“It’s okay!” Meili smiled, “Tatanil is good at archery and can catch the horned rabbit soon. Anyway, the meat has not been smoked successfully, so wait a little!”

Looking at Tatanil who disappeared in the dense woods, Jia Zhengjin shook his head helplessly and helped smoke the rabbit meat.

1 minute, 2 minutes passed quickly, and almost half an hour passed. Tatanil had not returned yet, and the woods were quiet.

Meili finally showed a worried expression, stood up and looked at the mountain in front, shouting loudly: “Tatanil~”

There was no response, very quiet.

“It’s just a horned rabbit, does it take so long?” Meili was worried, “Will something happen?”

“Aren’t there any dangerous beasts here? There are no robbers either.” Jia Zhengjin tilted his head, “What can happen?”

“But Tatanil hasn’t come back for so long, something is wrong!” Meili quickly put away the smoked meat.

Jia Zhengjin opened the virtual map and found that Tatanil’s icon in the team was quite far away from here. She actually ran deep into the woods and stopped at a certain position.

There should be no problem with her life safety. At this moment, in the team interface, her health bar and other things are normal.

“Is she trapped somewhere?” Jia Zhengjin said while looking at the map, “For example, she got entangled in the bushes, or her hands and feet were trapped by the vines in the woods.”

“I’ll go and look for her!” Meili said to him, “You stay here and wait for us to come back.”

“Or I’ll go!” Jia Zhengjin had a virtual map, so it was effortless to find Tatanil. If Meili went there, she would definitely have to spend a lot of effort to look around.

“It’s okay! I’m more familiar with Tatanil, and it’s relatively easy to find her!” Meili said, “Besides, if you leave, I can’t afford to pay for the carriage if something goes wrong!”

“Okay!” Since she said so, Jia Zhengjin no longer insisted.

After Meili put away the rabbit meat, she ran in the direction where Tatanil went in, and soon disappeared into the dense woods.

Jia Zhengjin opened the virtual map and watched Meili’s icon moving in the mountains, circling around, far away from where Tatanil was, and every time she was circling nearby, it made him anxious.

Fortunately, after more than 20 minutes, Meili finally arrived at where Tatanil was.

The problem was that for some reason, both of them stayed there and had no intention of coming back.
