Chapter 305 Rock Chicken
Chapter 305 Rock Chicken
Shang Chenyi looked at Huo Yun's proud expression, then leaned over to Ye Buli's ear and said, "Ali, isn't Xiao Yun very cute?"
Ye Buli raised his eyes and looked in Huo Yun's direction, nodded and said, "His personality is better than his father's."
Huo Yun's personality is very similar to Huo Yu's. He is eccentric, bold, and his words and actions can sometimes make people angry to death. However, with Ning Yan's control, this child is very good at reading people's expressions and knows what to do in different situations.
It won't be like Huo?'s situation before, where no one could control it and the only solution was force.
Shang Chenyi smiled and said, "A-Li, what do you think about us adopting them as our godsons?"
Ye Buli turned to look at Shang Chenyi and found that he was talking and laughing, and did not seem to be joking, so he said: "If Ah Yi likes it, I naturally have no objection."
After falling in love with Shang Chenyi, Ye Buli never thought about having his own children, and he would not have any regrets about it. He chose his own path, so he had to think about the consequences.
Huo Yu's two children were indeed smart and likable. He had no objection to adopting them as godsons, but if Shang Chenyi liked them, he would not stop him.
Shang Chenyi said, "But I still need to discuss this matter with Brother Zheng and Brother Huo, and also ask the two kids for their opinions. Let's talk about it in a few days."
Ye Buli nodded at this.
After a good rest, everyone prepared to set off again.
Ning Jian took out some pills and distributed them to everyone, telling them to take the pills if they felt unwell.
After a heavy snowfall, the fog in the mountains was much thinner than before, but there was still some floating in the woods, so they needed to take precautions in advance.
With Xiaobai still leading the way, they began to walk down the mountain towards the waterfall.
After passing through several mountains and a forest, they arrived at the waterfall.
This is a cliff. Downwards, a waterfall cascades down. Looking up, you can see water flowing down from the mountain, gathering into a pool below, passing through the mountains, and then flowing down the cliff again.
Ning Yan looked around and said in surprise, "It seems like there's less fog in the forest."
Because Xiaobai led the way, they have now entered the mountain. Compared with the outside of the mountain, the fog inside the mountain seems to be very less. In fact, the further you go inside, the thinner it becomes, until there is no fog at all.
This seems a bit strange.
Huo? They had the same doubts about this, which was indeed a bit strange.
Shang Chenyi said: "If that's the case, then this water should be fine, right?"
He had originally worried that if the mountain mist was poisonous, would the water be poisonous as well? Now it seemed that the impact shouldn't be significant.
Ning Yan said: "It's okay, as long as the water source here doesn't run dry, we don't have to drink the water from the mountains, we can dig a groundwater well."
As long as there is a river passing through the mountains, they can dig wells and use groundwater.
Shang Chenyi nodded, that's true.
Huo Yun then said, "Dad, can I go fishing?"
He didn't forget to catch fish for Xiaobai to eat.
Ning Qian said, "Then let's go down the mountain and take a look."
He thought there was probably no fish living up there, but there might be fish in the river below the mountain.
Everyone had no objection to this, but the cliff here was steep, so they had to take a detour.
Now there was no need for Xiaobai to lead the way, so Ning Jing held him in his arms.
After reaching the bottom, Ning Jian looked up and found that the waterfall was nearly a hundred meters high. When the water fell vertically, it really fit the famous poem: The waterfall plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky.
After Huo Yun got down there, he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, pulling Li Hu to go fishing by the stream.
Ning Yan ignored him and gave Li Hu and a few guards some instructions, and the four of them walked down the stream.
They wanted to see where the river ended.
However, after walking for a while, we gave up temporarily. The river extended too long downwards and we couldn't see the end for the time being. Moreover, it went straight down the mountain. Most of the road sections were steep slopes, and the road was not easy to walk on.
Ning Yan suspected that they were still on the mountain. If the waterfall was not counted, they were still upstream and no one knew where the downstream was.
However, since their eldest son wanted to catch fish, they temporarily gave up the idea of going down and planned to catch some fish before going down again.
The best thing to do while surviving in the wild is catching fish. Everyone has gained experience in catching fish. With the help of several guards, the Huo Yun brothers caught several fish in a short time.
The fish were not heavy, only about three or four pounds. Li Hu processed a few fish and threw all the cleaned internal organs into the fishing net to catch the fish.
Suddenly, a "clucking" sound was heard in the forest. Huo Yun paused with his hand holding the fishing net, then his eyes widened in surprise. He turned to look at Ning Yan and said excitedly, "Dad, there are chickens? I want to catch them."
As he said this, he threw away the fishing net in his hand and ran to Ning Yan, waiting for his consent so that he could go to work.
Ning Yan simply waved to him and told him to go if he wanted to.
After Huo Yun got the promise, he said proudly, "Brother, let's go catch some chickens."
As he spoke, he walked towards the pheasant with a sluggish pace. Ning Jing followed closely behind with the cat. Ning Gang also asked several guards to go with them to protect their safety.
After seeing a few people leave, Ning Yan took the processed fish and prepared to cook, and Shang Chenyi came to help.
He cooked a fish first and prepared to wait for the chicken to come back to test it. If it was ok, they could cook it and eat it.
Not long after, the guard came back with two children and a dozen chickens in his hands.
Seeing this, Ning Yan was surprised and asked, "So many?"
Normally, it depends on luck to catch five or six in a nest, but I didn’t expect to catch more than ten at once this time.
Huo Yun said proudly, "Yeah, I don't know why there were so many of them. We saw them and caught them all. Xiaobai even caught quite a few."
After hearing this, Ning Yan looked at the chickens in the hands of the guards and understood a little. The chicken was gray-brown in color and should be a kind of chicken unique to the plateau, called rock chicken, because its feathers were similar to rocks, hence the name.
This kind of chicken usually lives in groups and likes to forage during the day. They were lucky enough to catch so many at once.
Guard Ning Ganran brought a chicken and fed it the cooked fish. After finding nothing wrong, he started cooking.
After eating, they caught some more fish and then continued on their way down.
They walked through the mountains and forests until they reached a canyon, where they stopped.
The canyon here is quite deep, located between two mountains. There is a cave entrance downstream. The water from the mountain flows into the cave entrance and then disappears.
Li Hu found a vine and tied it around himself, then went down to investigate. When he came back up, he shook his head and said, "It's just a cave entrance. The water is flowing fast, so there's no way to get in to check."
After hearing this, several people couldn't help but look into the distance, feeling a little puzzled. Where could such a large amount of water flow to? Could it disappear out of thin air?
