I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 167 The Three Forgotten Ones
After finishing the lamb chops, Xiao Qi wiped her mouth and was about to go back to her room to rest when Captain Chen suddenly remembered something.

"Xiao Qi, didn't Qiao Tai, Liu Liu, and Zi Yang go with you? Why didn't they come back?"

The three, including Wei Xiaole and Xiao Yinuo, were all stunned.

Oh no! I was chased so badly by Fengqun and the bear when I ran out that I took another exit and forgot about the three of them.

Xiao Chen's lips twitched, and he quickly ordered his men, "Bring three motorcycles to the door."

Thinking about the three children who hadn't returned yet so late, Xiao Chen suspected that they had gone into the Grand Canyon to look for Xiao Qi and the others.

That's incredibly bold!

The three men, who had been praised for their daring, were now lost deep within the Grand Canyon.

"I wonder how Xiao Qi and the others are doing. The commotion was so loud just now, it scared me to death."

Liu Liu was describing the scene when the bees and the bear chased Xiao Qi and the others. At that time, the three of them were guarding another exit. After noticing the commotion inside, they rushed in to provide backup. However, the terrain here was extremely strange. They followed the sound for a long time but still couldn't catch up with anyone.

Then they wanted to go back the way they came, but they couldn't find the way back.

Finally, having no other choice, the three of them found a small cave to rest in.

We picked some wild fruits along the way, but they were only enough to fill our stomachs with water. After urinating, we were hungry again.

"Ziyang, let's catch a few rabbits and roast them."

Qiao Tai was tall and strong, and he also got hungry quickly. He knew that Meng Ziyang's backpack contained salt and cumin, which were for their picky eldest son.

After all, Mengqi doesn't like snacks like cookies, and it's not easy to carry the cooked food in such hot weather, so she can only bring some ingredients herself to use as seasoning when grilling meat.

"Okay, I'll go catch it, you go gather firewood."

Liu Liu hesitated, "If we start a fire, won't it attract the demon? Won't that ruin Xiao Qi and the others' plans?"

Qiao Tai hesitated upon hearing this, "Then how about we don't bake it?"

Meng Ziyang waved his hand and said, "No, you have to trust my aunt. There's nothing she can't handle. Let's grill it. Maybe the smoke will lead my aunt and the others to us."

Upon hearing this, the two realized it was indeed true. Besides, if they really attracted a demon, surely the three of them could handle it?
Qiao Tai's fist was not something an ordinary demon could withstand.

There seemed to be a lot of small animals deep in the canyon. Before long, Meng Ziyang caught four rabbits, a non-venomous snake, and two large birds of unknown species.

Gathering firewood was even simpler for Qiao Tai. He saw a large, withered tree, grabbed the trunk, and pulled it out.

Because of his immense size and strength, his weapons, besides a dagger, also include a fifty-pound axe. He hasn't used it to slay demons yet, but instead has been using it to chop down trees.

Once the wood was chopped and the fire was lit, Meng Ziyang skillfully skinned and processed the rabbit and the large bird, his technique so adept that Liu Liu questioned her own existence.

"Ziyang, with this skill, I guarantee that once you go to college, girls will be lining up to pursue you."

Before Meng Ziyang could speak, Qiao Tai chuckled, "There's no need to wait until college. Girls at our school are already lining up to pursue him."

The boy, just over thirteen but not yet fourteen, was at the age when his heart was just beginning to stir with romantic feelings. He was quite embarrassed to talk about these things, and Meng Ziyang even scolded Qiao Tai in embarrassment and anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? No girl is chasing me, that's a lie." "How is that a lie? Bai Nana from Class Six even asked me to help you with a love letter. The first line is 'My dear Ziyang,' and it's 'my dear,' doesn't that say it all?"

Meng Ziyang was struck dumb, yelling, "You fucking read my letter!"

Qiao Tai was also struck dumb. He exclaimed in surprise, "You actually read this letter? Didn't you throw it away after anyone showed it to you before? Holy crap, you didn't actually tell Bai Nana?"

Meng Ziyang:
"Get lost! It's none of your business whether I read the letters or not! Tell me, how many have you already peeked at?"

"I swear to God, this is the only letter I have. It's because Bai Nana looks too masculine. I'm afraid you'll be bewitched by her and your life will be ruined."

Liu Liu stared at the two of them with her mouth agape. Qiao Tai's honest and simple face was truly deceptive.

And there's Meng Ziyang.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't help but say, "Ziyang, you're still young. You'll have many choices in the future. There's really no need to make decisions too early. If you don't have any ideas about aesthetics, you can look at your aunt and your sister Liu. If any girl is less attractive than us, you shouldn't even glance at her, understand?"

Got it, then I can stay single forever.

Meng Ziyang glanced at Liu Liu and thought to himself that this person had really changed a lot.

When Liu Liu first entered the special training camp a few years ago, she had a round, baby-faced girl with a bit of baby fat. A few years have passed, and perhaps because Fairy Liu has been by her side all year round, the seventeen-year-old has become more and more charming and alluring.

Of course, the boys in their team were immune to this, since they saw it every day and couldn't get into that kind of interest.

But at school, she was a total heartthrob, with countless boys pursuing her.

In comparison, twelve-year-old Meng Qi seems much more ordinary. After all, she is still young and hasn't fully grown up yet; at best, she can only be described as pretty and cute.

Even so, Meng Ziyang is still wary of Dongfang Shuo, as he always feels that the guy has ill intentions towards his aunt.

"smell good."

Before long, the three wild rabbits were roasted. Meng Ziyang sprinkled the seasonings he carried with him on them, and the aroma immediately filled the entire valley.

Qiao Tai drooled as he placed his right hand on the axe beside him. When Meng Ziyang tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to him, he immediately took it, munching on it while standing up and warily glancing at the dense forest behind him.

A rustling sound arose, clearly indicating that the aroma not only made the three of them drool, but also attracted some uninvited guests.

Meng Ziyang slowly tore off another leg for Liu Liu before leisurely eating it himself.

Something was trying to emerge from the dense forest, but it was caught by the branches and hung up in a tree.

Puff, puff.
One sound after another rang out, all of them the friction sounds of branches binding flesh, but strangely, there were no other sounds.

What is that thing? Doesn't it make a sound?
Meng Ziyang looked over in surprise while gnawing on a rabbit leg.

Unfortunately, apart from their side having a fire that provided light, the rest of the place was dark.

Qiao Tai ate quickly, finishing a rabbit leg in one bite. He then pulled a piece of wood from the fire to use as a torch. "Let me see what's there. Maybe we can get some extra food."

Meng Ziyang immediately covered the area in front of him with leaves to give him time to react should anything happen.

Despite their precautions, they weren't really worried. After all, they could be caught by Ziyang's branches, so what danger could there be?
