The two people walked at a relatively fast pace, each carrying a new bamboo basket, which still had a hint of bamboo fragrance.
They arrived at their destination smoothly, without encountering any wild beasts along the way.
They did come across several goats and rabbits, but didn't take any action. At noon, they didn't plan to cook anything to eat—eating some smoked meat was more convenient.
Their satchels contained enough jerky for both of them to eat for three days.
Their previous experience taught them to prepare extra jerky to cope with unexpected situations.
Upon reaching their destination, they started cutting flax and bundling it.
They managed to cut eight bundles before preparing to head back.
On their way back, Xu Yi and Lu Ke encountered a flock of wild chickens. Promptly, they took action and shot three, leaving them both ecstatic.
The taste of wild chicken was something they both missed dearly.
They returned to the camp shortly after one o'clock.
