"I was worried that the bamboo would make too much noise if it fell to the ground and people would discover we were stealing the spiritual bamboo, so you planted it back. However, I don't think it will survive." She said helplessly. It would be a waste to only take the water from the heart of a spiritual bamboo!
Chen Dao was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked around but didn't see anything different, so he asked, "Where did you cut it? I'll go take a look."
“This way.” Fengjiu had no choice but to take him over there and point them out to him: “These are the ones.”
Chen Dao took a look, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Not bad, not bad, why didn't I think of this method before? I really didn't misjudge you, it was right to let you follow me, this way, they won't know we are here to steal the spiritual bamboo, hahahaha."
Feng Jiu smiled awkwardly and asked, "Senior Brother Chen, we have taken the Bamboo Heart Water. Are we going back now?"
“What’s the hurry? Since you’re here, of course I have to help you get some good stuff. Come on, follow me.” As he spoke, he beckoned Fengjiu to follow him, then he walked lightly towards the place he had been at before.
Fengjiu watched him searching among the bamboos and weeds, not knowing what he was looking for, so she asked, "Senior Brother Chen, what are you looking for? Do you need my help?"
"Shh!"
He stretched out a finger and placed it to his lips as if to keep quiet. The next moment, he stepped forward on hunched feet and took a deep breath.
"Hahaha, I finally caught him! He's so fat, I'm in for a treat today."
Fengjiu watched as he came over with a fat rat weighing five or six kilograms in his hand. The rat's gray-black fur was prickly and it made a squeaking sound. Seeing this, the corner of her mouth twitched and she took a step back.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing with this mouse?" Is he going to eat it? However, after a closer look, he found that it was not an ordinary mouse, but a bamboo spirit mouse that feeds on spirit bamboo.
"What rat? This isn't a rat, it's a bamboo rat. It's very nutritious, you know that? And the meat of the bamboo rat is very delicious, and it's even better when roasted. You haven't eaten it before, but you'll know once you've eaten it."
He looked very excited, and said excitedly: "In the entire Danyang Sect, only this Lingzhu Forest has bamboo spirit rats. If you want to eat bamboo spirit rats, you really have to come to this Lingzhu Forest. But bamboo spirit rats are not easy to catch. You see, I searched for a long time before I caught one."
As he spoke, he weighed the bamboo rat in his hand and chuckled, "It should be at least five or six pounds. It looks pretty fat. It should be enough for the two of us to eat."
Hearing this, the corner of her mouth twitched: "I..."
"Okay, let's go and find a place to roast this thing and eat it." He looked around and walked back: "It's getting late now. Although there is no one guarding this bamboo forest, if we roast something here, we will definitely be discovered as soon as the smoke rises. Let's go back to our territory."
So, Fengjiu was taken to another place. She came with nothing, and left... having collected three tubes of bamboo heart water and caught a big fat bamboo spirit rat, so she returned with a full load.
In front of Chen Dao's cave on the seventh peak of Sanyang Peak, two people sat on the ground, looking at the bamboo spirit rats roasting on the fire in front of them, which gave off a bamboo fragrance. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and felt extremely hungry.
