Nancheng.

Mo Beihan had a day off today. Previously, he completed an a.s.signment with Ji Mingzhe which earned him four days of holidays.

He wanted to make a trip to the mountains.

However, it was inconvenient for him to go alone as he could not bring back the animal if he managed to hunt a large-sized one.

It was troublesome without Yao Yao and her inters.p.a.ce.

Thus, he could only go with Ji Mingzhe.

Ji Mingzhe was his loyal friend in both the previous and present lifetime and he was definitely trustworthy.

While Nancheng was a prosperous city, its surrounding was a forest patch which was even more primeval than his hometown. They would definitely be able to find large animals in this primeval forest.

Ji Mingzhe was willing to hunt in the forest and he had done so before. The periphery was a deep forest and he was permitted to enter the forest to hunt for animals to make a sumptuous meal with.

His younger sister was not in a good mood recently too and he had to bring her good food to coax her.

Hence, Ji Mingzhe was foolishly bluffed into the forest by Mo Beihan just like that.

Mo Beihan made full preparations – he was equipped with all sorts of tools and rations. Along with them was Lin Dongxu as well!

Having been in Nancheng for a few months, Mo Beihan completely deluded him into being his younger brother. The current Lin Dongxu was not as capable as Mo Beihan and was not doing well.

After hanging out with Mo Beihan for a period of time, he was utterly conquered by Mo Beihan. In the words of the later generation, he was just this close to kneeling on the ground and calling Mo Beihan 'father'!

Lin Dongxu had some skills as well. After all, he once starved and entered the mountains to look for food. When he went to look for his relatives, he also crossed mountain after mountain. While his skills were far from that of Mo Beihan and Ji Mingzhe, people who had received training, he was way more skilled than ordinary people.

Seeing that Mo Beihan went deeper into the mountains, Ji Mingzhe asked with uncertainty, “Are you going further in? That's the remote mountains. It's too dangerous!”

Mo Beihan laughed. “I would not be going if it's not dangerous!”

Ji Mingzhe: …

Admiration filled Lin Dongxu's face and his expression resembled that of wors.h.i.+ping a father figure. “Don't worry. There's meat to eat when you follow Elder Brother Mo!”

Ji Mingzhe: …

The few of them trudged forward even more for a period of time. On the way, Mo Beihan had been observing the surroundings while Ji Mingzhe began chatting with Lin Dongxu.

He finally could tell that this fellow had lost all reason from his blind wors.h.i.+p of Mo Beihan.

Seeing that there were many ropes and cloth bags hung on Lin Dongxu's body, Ji Mingzhe asked curiously, “It's the most important to pack lightly when out to hunt so it will be convenient to escape. Those tools that your Elder Brother Mo brought are sufficient already. What did you bring so many ropes for?”

Lin Dongxu looked at the ropes on his body. “It's not a lot!”

Ji Mingzhe's lips twitched a little. “Are these still not a lot? If we encounter danger in the hunt later, don't make me pull you. You can run by yourself.”

Lin Dongxu replied, “We called you here not for you to hunt. We don't need you to hunt.”

Ji Mingzhe was dumbfounded and laughed. “Why did you all call me to come when I don't need to hunt? We are in the remote mountains. Do you think that your Elder Brother Mo will be able to protect you if there's danger with just the two of you when you're what more a burden?

“The remote mountains are too dangerous. Don't run about later. We will join forces and end the fight quickly. The longer we stay in this place, the more dangerous it gets.”

Lin Dongxu looked at him with a serious expression. “We really did not call you to hunt. Just Elder Brother Mo alone is sufficient. He won't need us.”

Ji Mingzhe shot a glare. “Then why did you all call me to come?”

“To carry things!” Lin Dongxu replied as though it was natural. “Elder Brother Mo is exceptional at hunting. The both of us would not be able to carry so many things. I heard that you have more strength…”

Ji Mingzhe: …
