Chapter 39 Pond Fish
"Song Ruize, look, there's a bird's nest here..."
The veins on Song Ruize's forehead were throbbing. He turned back impatiently, only to see the thin figure climbing up the tree very neatly.
She sat on the treetop and carefully took out the bird eggs.
Her hair was disheveled, its black strands scratching her fair cheeks. When she found the bird's eggs, the smile on her face was as beautiful as a newly blooming winter jasmine flower.
After she put the bird eggs into the basket, she waved to Song Ruize below with a smile on her face: "Song Ruize, I got it."
After saying that, she slid down the tree again.
Song Ruize frowned and turned away.
He always preferred to be alone. When he was hunting, there was no sound except the sounds of nature. He would hide in the mountains for days and nights to snag a desired prey. The prey wouldn't notice him because he was patient and wouldn't alert the prey before it appeared.
If he wanted to, he could have left quietly. To him, this deep mountain was like his own backyard. However, he didn't do that.
Song Ruize walked for a while and found that it became quiet behind him, so he stopped.
He hesitated for a moment and turned around slowly, only to see Qin Huiyin squatting in front of a grass, digging its roots bit by bit with the sickle in her hand.
Qin Huiyin finished digging the Houttuynia cordata and when she stood up, she saw Song Ruize not far ahead and hurriedly followed him.
"Have you taken the medicine I bought for you?" Qin Huiyin asked Song Ruize.
Song Ruize ignored her.
Qin Huiyin muttered, "When Nuwa created you, she should have spent less time on your face and more time on your tongue."
"Don't follow me in front." Song Ruize said calmly.
"Okay." Qin Huiyin agreed immediately, "Then should I wait for you here?"
Song Ruize: "...Yeah."
Qin Huiyin thought Song Ruize would not respond to her, but unexpectedly, after a pause, he actually agreed. She watched him walk deeper into the mountains in a good mood.
She was digging bamboo shoots, storing herbs, and looking for bird eggs and other mountain products. She was so engrossed in her digging that she didn't react when she heard the sound of her prey. It was only after she squatted down and dug for another two minutes that she realized what the sound meant.
She quickly packed up her things and walked towards the sound. After a few steps, she saw Song Ruize carrying a bison towards her.
The bison's body was very huge. In comparison, the originally tall Song Ruize looked like a bean sprout.
The bison's neck was bleeding and there was a buzzing sound coming from its mouth. It must be taking its last breath and now saying goodbye to the forest.
Qin Huiyin was stunned.
The villain's fighting power is really amazing.
"Are you hurt?"
Song Ruize lowered his eyes: "No."
"You're lying." Qin Huiyin frowned. "It must be bleeding. Put the things down. I want to see your wound."
Song Ruize ignored him and carried the bison down the mountain.
Qin Huiyin blocked his way and said sternly, "If your old injury relapses, even if you manage to carry the prey down the mountain with your current strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for long. If you pass out, who do you think will get the prey?"
He was unconscious, and the shameless Second and Third Uncles Song were sure to carry the prey away. No one in the village stood up for him. Even if they knew that the two uncles of the Song family were bullying him, they would not offend two tough scoundrels for an orphan.
Song Ruize put down his prey.
Qin Huiyin used the medicine she had just collected to reapply medicine to Song Ruize's torn wound, and then tore off his clothes to bandage it.
"You have to remember this herb. It can stop bleeding. If you encounter any problems next time, you might be able to find it to deal with the emergency."
“This is anti-inflammatory…”
"This is for snake venom..."
"This is for fever reduction... Never mind, I won't go into too much detail, lest you forget all of them. You only need to remember the two most important ones: one for stopping bleeding, and the other for antidoting snake venom. You often walk in the mountains, so remembering these two medicines will be very useful to you."
Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin who was mumbling. As she was mumbling, her little mouth was moving, and the sound was as clear and loud as a bird's chirping.
If he hadn't been so cold to her when his father was around, would they have been able to get along like brother and sister?
When he passed by the Tang family's door, he saw her and Tang Yichen getting along. She was not afraid of Tang Yichen, and Tang Yichen did not reject her, and the two of them were quite harmonious.
Song Ruize pursed his thin lips.
Different.
He is a coffin man, and no one likes to associate with him. Associating with him will bring bad luck.
Song Ruize stood up and picked up the bison again.
Qin Huiyin hurried to catch up with him.
When the two men went down the mountain, the villagers were shocked to see such a huge bison and surrounded them.
"Ze boy, did you kill him?"
"Even adults can't kill such a big bison, how could he possibly kill it?"
Qin Huiyin smiled: "Uncle Zhang, with your strength, let alone killing a bison, I'm afraid you can't even kill a cat. You can't do it, so of course you can't understand those who can do it. I didn't believe it at first. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that such a strong bison would die in his hands. Uncle Zhang, you said Song Ruize can even kill a bison, so if he kills some other 'smaller animals', wouldn't it be easier?"
Everyone: "..."
Could that smaller animal be a human?
Song Ruize has been a bad boy since he was a child. If you really make him angry, he might even dare to beat someone to death.
"Ze boy can't handle such a big bison by himself. Why don't we help you?" Uncle Song Song Jue said as he was about to come over to help.
Song Ruize carried the bison with one hand and walked past them.
Everyone: "..."
Is Song Ruize so strong?
They had said those sarcastic words to him in front of him before, but he didn't punch them. It seemed that he was being polite to them.
Song Ruize carried the bison directly to the doorstep of Mr. Tang Sanye's house.
Mr. Tang San heard the sound and came out. Seeing such a big bison, his old face was full of curiosity.
"Even your father doesn't have this much strength. You really are a hidden talent!"
"Rent an ox cart." Song Ruize said calmly, "Go into the city."
"Now?" asked Mr. Tang San.
"Ah."
Master Tang San asked Qin Huiyin in the crowd, "Yin girl, is there anything you need me to bring back? I'll buy it for you while I'm at it."
"Third Uncle, why don't I take a ride with you into the city?" Qin Huiyin said, "I want to ask how the things I ordered last time are going. Tomorrow is the fifth day, maybe they will be finished ahead of time!"
"I'm going to the county town." Song Ruize said calmly.
"...The county town is fine too. I want to get to know the market in advance." Qin Huiyin thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit late now, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay there tonight."
