Little Crane Grass and Hu Xin crawled out of the cave. The two searched the cave for a long time but didn't see Iron Thread Grass' shadow. Although they were still puzzled, they didn't continue to search. Instead, they directly went out of the cave.
To be honest, although the cave wasn't small, it was too dark inside. It gave people a very uncomfortable feeling. Even if it was still dark outside, it was still better than being in the cave.
Moreover, the two had been hiding in the cave for a long time, so they wanted to come out and get some fresh air. They believed that the Liu Clan had already left. If the Liu Clan was still in the forest, then it could only mean that the Liu Clan already knew that they were in the forest and had been waiting for them. However, the possibility of this was very low.
The two of them went outside to take a look and realized that it was almost daybreak. The eastern sky was already bright. Seeing the faint white color, Little Crane Grass and Hu Xin both let out a long breath. They felt as if they were living in the world again.
Hu Xin looked around. At this time, they could already see the situation in the forest. Although their vision wasn't very good, it was still good enough.
Hu Xin turned to Little Crane Grass and said, "Crane Grass, let's go and find some wild fruits to eat. I'm about to starve to death." Hearing Hu Xin's words, Little Crane Grass couldn't help but stare blankly. Then his stomach began to growl. The two looked at each other and laughed. This was the joy of surviving a calamity.
The two of them were starving. Little Crane Grass directly brought Hu Xin to those few wild fruit trees. Then, the two of them couldn't care less about the sourness of those fruits and started to eat them in big bites.
After eating a few fruits, the two discovered that their teeth didn't dare to bite anything. Their saliva was still flowing out. The two knew that they had eaten too much. Even if there was something good, they wouldn't be able to eat it.
Hu Xin impatiently said, "It seems like we have to find a way to eat something else. Crane Grass, wait for me here. I'll go and see if I can hunt some wild animals. If I can, then we'll eat something good today." Naturally, Crane Grass wouldn't object. Hu Xin then turned around and left.
In a forest like this, there was no lack of wild game. Not long after, Hu Xin brought back a few wild rabbits. Although the two of them didn't have any seasonings on them, when they saw these plump wild rabbits, the two of them still thought of the fragrant roasted wild rabbits.
However, the problem now was that if they wanted to roast the hare, they would need to make a fire first. However, the two of them didn't have anything that could make a fire. Although Hu Xin could use natural energy, natural energy was used on plants, it wasn't used to make a fire. Therefore, making a fire was quite difficult.
Hu Xin looked around and frowned. In the end, he had no choice but to say to Little Crane Grass, "Crane Grass, let's split up and find some firewood as well as some hay. I think that there should be a lot of these things." Little Crane Grass nodded. Then the two split up and went to collect firewood. Normally, no one would come to this forest, so there was still a lot of firewood. Before long, the two had collected a lot of firewood.
Hu Xin looked at Little Crane Grass with a puzzled expression, he didn't know what Hu Xin was going to do next. Hu Xin looked at Little Crane Grass and couldn't help but feel helpless. He stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of dried grass. Before long, the grass became very soft. Then he put the dried grass to the side and picked up two pieces of dry wood. Hu Xin used his strength to chop one piece of dry wood into thin slices, just like a wooden saber. The other piece of dry wood had a crack on it. Then Hu Xin rubbed the two pieces of dry wood together. Before long, the dry wood emitted a burst of smoke. Hu Xin immediately placed the dried grass on top of it, and the dry wood immediately burned.
Little Crane Grass looked at Hu Xin's actions and couldn't help but stare. Then he happily said, "It's on fire, it's on fire. Brother Xin, it's on fire. I didn't expect you to be able to make a fire like this. Brother Xin, you're amazing."
Hu Xin bitterly smiled and said, "Amazing my ass. If it weren't for the fact that I had no other choice, I wouldn't have used this method. Originally, I had a fire starter on me, but I didn't expect to lose it in the river. This method was taught to me by a senior in my family when I went out for training. Crane Grass, remember. In the future, if you go out for training, you must bring a fire starter. It will make it easier to light a fire. Remember."
Little Crane Grass nodded. He still hadn't had the chance to go out and train. The previous few times he treated people, those were all arranged by the family, and there were people protecting him. But this time, it was definitely a sudden incident. The people of the Hu family weren't prepared, and that was why the two of them ended up in this state.
This matter also affected the little crane grass greatly. He realized that he was not very safe right now, and he had to learn this ability to survive in the wild. Otherwise, if one day, he encountered such a situation and could not even start a fire, it would be impossible for him to eat something hot. This would definitely be a big problem.
After Hu Xin made a fire, he cleaned up the rabbits. Although he only cleaned them up, leaving only the thighs with more meat, there was still a lot of meat left.
Then Hu Xin picked up a few branches and skewered the rabbit thighs. Then he roasted them by the fire. While roasting, Hu Xin said, "There's no other way today. We don't have any seasoning, we don't even have any salt. We can only take a bite. When we get home, we'll eat something delicious to make up for it."
Little Crane Grass smiled and said, "It's already very good. Rabbit meat is very fragrant."
Hu Xin smiled faintly and said, "Actually, when you're living in the wild, it's best to bring some salt. It's impossible for people to not eat salt for a long time. On the other hand, Plant Cultivators sometimes need to live in the wild for a long time. For example, observing the growth of plants or doing other tasks. These tasks require us to live in the wild for a long time. Because of this, we need to learn some skills to survive in the wild. I heard that your medical skills are good, but you don't need to learn this. When you go back, you should look for some books about beasts as well as some books about poisons. There are a lot of books about these that we need to know in order to survive in the wild. For example, where we can rest, what kind of cave can be our shelter, all of these are very important."
Hu Xin paused and glanced at Little Crane Grass before continuing, "Crane Grass, you should know that once a Plant Master reaches a high level, his strength wouldn't be inferior to a Soul Soldier or Soul Beast Master. However, no matter how powerful he is, he can't always be on alert. If that's the case, he would exhaust himself before long. Therefore, everyone needs a safe place to rest, especially in the wilderness. You need a place where you can relax and have a good rest. Therefore, no matter where you go, the first thing you need to do is to find a place to rest, a base. This way, you can survive in the wilderness for a long time and ensure that your fighting strength doesn't decrease. Do you understand?"
Do you understand? "Little Crane Grass nodded, he firmly remembered every word that Hu Xin said. This was because he knew that Hu Xin's words were based on experience. And sometimes, these experiences were more useful than books.
Seeing Little Crane Grass's expression, Hu Xin liked him even more. He looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Actually, even if I don't tell you this today, you will know in the future. Third Grandpa is a person who travels the world. He wouldn't let you hide in the valley for your entire life. Moreover, it seems like Third Grandpa is very strict with your training. Therefore, you don't need to worry about not having a chance to go out and train. I think Third Grandpa will teach you all of these things when the time comes."
Upon hearing Hu Xin mention Hu Yuan, Little Crane Grass couldn't help but smile. Naturally, he knew that Hu Yuan was good to him. Although Hu Yuan was very strict with him, Hu Yuan had done a lot of things for him in the past few years. Because of this, Little Crane Grass was very grateful to Hu Yuan.
Looking at the smile on Little Crane Grass's face, Hu Xin couldn't help but feel envious. At the same time, he also felt happy. He can see that Little Crane Grass and Hu Yuan had a very good relationship. This was the reason why Hu Xin was happy.
After getting along with Little Crane Grass for some time, Hu Xin had a good understanding of Little Crane Grass. In Hu Xin's opinion, Little Crane Grass's strength wasn't worth mentioning. Without learning Natural Energy, Little Crane Grass couldn't be Hu Xin's opponent. However, in times of crisis, Hu Xin's ability to deal with things wasn't comparable to Little Crane Grass.
These words were somewhat ridiculous. Little Crane Grass was a nine-year-old child while Hu Xin was a twenty-year-old adult. But in terms of dealing with crises, he couldn't compare to a nine-year-old child? No one would believe it, but it was the truth.
It was precisely because of this that Hu Xin valued the Little Crane Grass even more. Experience, strength, all of these could be gained through hard work. However, being able to deal with things calmly was something that many people couldn't learn in their lifetime. And the Little Crane Grass happened to have such an ability. To be honest, if such a person became their enemy, it would really be a headache. It was absolutely unwise to make such a person an enemy.
Fortunately, Little Crane Grass was now a member of the Hu Clan. Moreover, it seems like he didn't have any dislike towards the Hu Clan. On the contrary, he was very grateful towards the Hu Clan. This was a good thing.
While Hu Xin was thinking about his own matters, he was also looking at the rabbit meat. After a while, the rabbit meat was roasted. Hu Xin gave a roasted rabbit leg to Little Crane Grass and said with a smile, "Eat, your teeth should have recovered by now, right?"
Little Crane Grass wasn't polite, he took the rabbit leg and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Xin. My teeth have recovered. Let's eat together." Hu Xin nodded, then he picked up a rabbit leg and ate it.
Although there wasn't any seasoning, the rabbit leg was still a rare delicacy for the two of them who hadn't eaten anything for a few days. The two of them wolfed down a rabbit leg each, but they still didn't feel full. Only after eating another one did they feel full.
But at this time, another problem arose. They were thirsty. Ever since the two fled, they hadn't had a good drink of water. So naturally, they were thirsty now. In the end, the two had no choice but to eat a sour fruit each in order to stop their thirst.
