Su Yichen swallowed, gritted his teeth and turned his face away, stood up with difficulty, and limped towards a few low fruit trees.
He can't climb that high tree, so he can't climb it at all.
Only these low, unknown fruits can be obtained by him.
Just as he was about to reach out to pick it, unexpectedly, Yuan Liu's gloating voice came from behind.
"Oh, you'd better not eat those wild fruits. Many of them are poisonous."
"Some of them will fall down after eating them. They may not die immediately, but they will be paralyzed and unable to move. Then you can only watch those snakes and insects crawling all over your body. Maybe you are unlucky and will be eaten alive by wild beasts."
All kinds of terrifying pictures appeared in his mind, and Su Yichen was so frightened that he took it back all at once.
Finally he gritted his teeth and said, "I... I'm going to catch the snake."
Yuan Liu took the fork of the tree and pointed to the small slope not far away. "There are a lot of them in the grass over there. I saw two or three of them before. Go quickly. If they run away, you will probably continue to be hungry."
The more Yuan Liu talked, the hungrier Su Yichen became.
He has not eaten since noon yesterday, and has not had a drop of water.
If it were normal, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, it would just be a little weak from hunger.
But last night, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He ran all over the mountains in the woods at night and ran for his life all night. Now he was hungry, tired, dizzy, and could hardly hold on any longer.
If he didn't eat something, he suspected that he would starve to death here.
'He said it's not poisonous and it shouldn't kill you if you bite it. '
Su Yichen followed Yuan Liu's previous behavior, squatting quietly in the grass and starting to look for grass snakes, still muttering to himself.
'You won't die if you take one bite... It's better to take one bite than starve to death here...'
With the attitude of risking everything and risking his life, Su Yichen finally caught a grass snake.
"I got it, I got it!"
He held the seven inches of the snake tightly with his hands, turned around and rushed towards Yuan Liu excitedly.
"Look, I caught it."
Yuan Liu smiled and nodded encouragingly, "Yes, that's what a man should be like. Don't be afraid of big things."
As he spoke, he took out a knife from his waist and threw it over. "Here you go, chop off the snake's head like I did just now, throw it into the pit, and skin it."
After hesitating for a moment, Su Yichen picked up the knife confidently. "Okay."
Less than half an hour later, Su Yichen finally ate the snake meat that he had caught, skinned and roasted with his own hands.
Yuan Liu looked at him with a teasing smile, "How is it? I caught it myself. Isn't it particularly fragrant?"
"Hmm, smells good." Although the snake didn't have much meat, Su Yichen was very satisfied with it.
Yuan Liu took off the kettle from his waist and threw it over. "Do you still find it difficult to catch a snake?"
"It's... not bad, it's not very difficult." Su Yichen was a little embarrassed.
Before he caught the snake, he would feel scared just thinking about it.
But after I was really caught like this, I felt that the way I scared myself before was a bit ridiculous.
"Well, what's so difficult about it? Some things just look fierce. In fact, as long as you are more ferocious than it, it will become as obedient as a little rabbit."
"Look at your sister, who is only fourteen years old and dares to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars with a hatchet. You are one year older than her, a man, and have read so many books. How can you be worse than her?"
"Besides, didn't you say that you encountered wolves and tigers last night? You even escaped those, how could you still be afraid of a small snake?"
