Night fell.
Qin Yu and the others found a relatively open spot for a temporary campsite, pitched their tents with the boys and girls staying separately, and took a short rest.
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
Beside the campfire, Qin Yu sat on a stump, holding meat skewers over the flames. Fat dripped into the fire below, sizzling.

"My skills are priceless." Qin Yu smiled faintly, picked up the fish grilling over the fire, and offered it to Zhu Zhuqing. "Cats love fish. Want some?"
