Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother

45 Chapter 45 The Lu Siblings

The wood of the black flesh leaf thorny chestnut was hard. The stem and branches could not only be used to dig things, but they could also be used to make sharp arrowheads.

Lu Yang picked out a stem about two fingers thick and asked, “Mingyu, can you break this?”

“Of course. That’s no problem!”

Lu Mingyu agreed. He held the stem and pulled it down with all his might. The bent stem snapped with a snap.

!!

The three of them continued forward. The more water content the vegetation had in the soil, the more luscious it grew.

Along the vegetation, they found edible shepherd’s purse and vinewood. They picked some and put them in their baskets.

Not long after, Lu Yang saw a river.

The water was so clear that one could see the bottom, and one could clearly see the stones of various sizes under the water.

“There’s water!”

Wen Jian exclaimed and blinked in bewilderment. “Is that a chicken?”

Lu Yang looked in the direction she was looking at and saw a wild chicken flapping its wings on the steep slope by the river.

Lu Mingyu put down the things in his hands and stared at the pheasant. He uttered, “Yangyang, wait here. I’ll go catch some pheasant for you. Let’s have whole roast chicken tonight!

Wen Jian ran over in joy and exclaimed, “I also want to catch a chicken! I haven’t caught a chicken before.”

“A great battle between two people and a chicken!”

“Wen Jian’s like a city person entering the countryside, curious about everything she sees.”

The pheasant was not as lazy as the chickens raised at home. It moved slyly and reacted extremely quickly. As expected, Lu Mingyu missed.

Soon after, Wen Jian held her breath and stared at the pheasant, ready to make a fatal grab. Unsurprisingly, it was a futile attempt again.

“Pheasant hooking its claws: Come over!”

“Some people look like they’re catching chickens, but they’re actually taking shelter. For example, when Lu Mingyu catches a chicken, the chicken flaps its wings frantically. The wind is so strong, and it’s so cool!”

Lu Yang confirmed the water in the stream. After finding a usable source of fresh water, she did not stay idle when she saw Lu Mingyu and Wen Jian chasing after the chickens.

It would take a long time to catch pheasants with her bare hands, so she planned to make a throwing stick to catch pheasants.

The process of making a throwing stick was very simple. It only took a little time and was more useful than many tools.

Lu Yang picked up a flat and curved branch from the forest. She kept the base flat, the top rounded, and the edges slanted. After a moment of careful polishing, she got a throwing stick with sharp edges, like the wings of an aircraft.

“She’s doing handiwork while others are catching chicken?”

“Our Sister Yang is also a very girlish girl. She’s doing handicrafts in the wilderness!”

“This handiwork is quite exquisite, but it doesn’t seem to be of much use!”

Lu Yang took the throwing stick and went to find Lu Mingyu and Wen Jian.

Wen Jian panted as she leaned against the tree. “This… chicken is too hard to catch. It’s even faster than a sports car.”

Lu Mingyu’s eyes fell on nothing again. His frown immediately eased when he saw Lu Yang’s figure from the corner of his eye. He dusted off the weeds stuck to his clothes and walked toward her.

“Shicken meat that has been trained is stronger and tastes better.” Lu Mingyu patted his chest and said, “You’ll have chicken drumsticks to eat today!

“Even a chicken would caw when it heard what he said. Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!”

Lu Yang lifted her chin and stared at the sweat on his forehead. After two seconds of silence, her lips moved slightly. “All right.”

“I thought Lu Yang was going to do something big. Just like that?”

“Can they catch a chicken before dark? Don’t tell me they’re still going to catch the chickens in the dark when they’re about to sleep?”

Lu Yang’s eyes rippled as she looked left and right. After careful consideration, she handed the throwing stick to Lu Mingyu.

“Mingyu, try using this.”

Lu Mingyu was stunned as he looked at the wooden block in his hand. “What’s this?”

“A throwing stick.”

Lu Yang patiently explained how to use it. “When the pheasant is unprepared, bend the throwing stick inward, raise it over your shoulder, and throw it at the target. Use the force at the joints nimbly when you throw it.”

“Isn’t this similar to a dart?” Wen Jian turned her head and asked in surprise.

“The theory is similar,” Lu Yang replied.

Wen Jian looked at Lu Mingyu in shock.

Lu Mingyu’s three darts were all 0 points. This thing looked even more difficult than darts. How could he hit his target?

Sure enough, beauty is not only in the eyes of the beholder, but also in the eyes of the younger sister.

Lu Yang’s bright eyes looked at Lu Mingyu. She smiled and said, “Mingyu, you do it.”

Her tone was no different from usual, but it had a magical power that made people trust her.

How could Lu Mingyu reject his sister’s request?

Lu Mingyu raised one of his eyebrows confidently. “Wait for me. I’ll catch you a pheasant.”

“Okay,” Lu Yang responded.

Remembering Lu Yang’s words, Lu Mingyu raised the throwing stick over his shoulder and skillfully used his strength. The throwing stick fell from his hand and went to the pheasant by the grass.

The throwing stick flew far away, forming a beautiful parabola in the air, and finally hit the target accurately.

Wen Jian stood up abruptly and exclaimed excitedly, “He got it! It hit!”

“Lu Mingyu is too strong. He can even hit a live pheasant with one shot!”

“Lu Mingyu must have made a mistake when he threw the dart earlier. That’s why he missed the target. Now, he’s truly showing his skills!”

...

“Lu Yang’s tools coupled with Lu Mingyu’s actions, it’s a killer move! The Lu siblings are the best!”

“Sister Yang, I went to sign up for a student competition, but they rejected me because I’m not a primary or junior high school student, nor am I a high school or college student. I was born for you!”

The pheasant fell down just like that.

Lu Mingyu strode over and picked up the chicken by its claws. He was rather pleased with himself. “Yangyang, aren’t I amazing?”

“Yes.” Lu Yang smiled.

Wen Jian raised her hands and clapped, saying exaggeratedly, “That’s amazing. You’re a pheasant killer!”

“Why is this assassin a little funny?”

“How are we going to deal with this chicken?” Lu Mingyu asked.

Lu Yang answered, “How about a beggar’s chicken?”

Wen Jian licked her lips. “Sure! I’ve never eaten beggar’s chicken before.”

Lu Mingyu killed the chicken by the stream, drained its blood, dug out its internal organs, and kept the feathers.

...

Wen Jian went to dig up some yellow mud while Lu Yang stuffed the freshly picked wild vegetables into the chicken’s stomach. She then mixed the mud and wrapped it around Lu Mingyu.

“The yellow mud should be thicker,” Lu Yang instructed.

Lu Mingyu put in a lot of effort and wrapped it in a thick layer.

This was not the campsite, so they still had to take the pheasant wrapped in yellow mud back to roast.

“How are we going to bring it back?” Wen Jian had just washed her hands and asked in confusion as she looked at the pheasant, which had grown a few times bigger.

“Wrap it with plant leaves and carry it back,” Lu Yang replied.

Lu Yang searched the surroundings and wrapped them up with a few large leaves.

They found a water source, wild vegetables, and a pheasant they had accidentally obtained.

The three of them returned with bountiful rewards.

In the spacious base, Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli were racking their brains for a way to start a fire.

The tall trees blocked the sun in this area, so it was hidden and cool. Even with their presbyopic glasses, they couldn’t gather enough heat to start a fire.
