Even After My Death-Chapter 107 - 92: Investigate Jiang Ning’s Past Experience (2600 words)

Chapter 107: Chapter 92: Investigate Jiang Ning’s Past Experience (2600 words)

Crouched by the stream, Nong Chun finished washing his face and looked up to see Jiang Ning intently staring downstream.

Unable to resist, he stood up to look and, like the online viewers in front of the screen, saw the rooster preening and cleaning its beautiful feathers.

Nong Chun’s eyes widened, his tone even somewhat uncertain, "Is that... a wild chicken?"

"No, it’s a free-range chicken that the production team put in earlier. You wait here for me," Jiang Ning said, dropping what she was holding and then walking towards the lower part of the stream.

[Ahh! Jiang Ning is really going to catch a chicken!]

[Jiang Ning is awesome, she could tell the breed of the chicken at a glance]

[You guys have been in this live stream the entire time, so you wouldn’t know, but just now Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng were complaining, saying that Jiang Ning grew up in the countryside, all brute strength and not a bit of upbringing... So, it’s normal for kids who grow up in the countryside to recognize free-range chickens.]

[So that’s how it is, no wonder Jiang Ning moves through this forest so confidently, she probably walked mountain roads a lot when she was little.]

[Isn’t... Mu Mingxuan sick in the head? What does he mean ’country people are all brute strength’? How can you work without strength! Are not the foods he eats grown by farmers?! When did upbringing start having anything to do with wealth?!]

[Hahaha, to the person above, don’t be angry, he’s already been blasted on the trending searches, and I heard that netizens have started to boycott his family’s cosmetics.]

[Quick, look! Jiang Ning is catching the chicken, is she going to do it barehanded?]

[Barehanded chicken catching is so hard! You absolutely can’t catch it that way!]

[Where’s the knife? Where’s her Survival Knife?]

Jiang Ning, unaware of the spectators’ excited shouts, focused on the rooster, moving stealthily and lightly as she circled behind it.

Watching Jiang Ning close in on the rooster step by step, the viewers in front of the screen felt as if they were there, holding their breath unconsciously, in fear that any slight noise might scare the chicken away.

Even the floating barrage on the screen had decreased significantly compared to before.

Jiang Ning’s feet pressed on the green leaves, making no sound at all.

The handsome rooster stood by the stream, earnestly preening its feathers, until Jiang Ning was about two or three meters away, it seemed to sense something, tilted its head, flapped its wings, and took off, flying down the stream.

[Ah, it’s flying!!!]

[Oh no! So close! Just two more steps away!]

[I told you just now, catching chickens is not that simple]

[I told you, the chicken flew away]

[I knew it wouldn’t be so easy, chickens are not stupid, they won’t just stand there waiting to be caught]

Seeing the rooster flying away right before her eyes, Jiang Ning’s eyes sharpened, without a second thought, she took a large stride, leaped into the air, a long arm reaching out, and caught the rooster mid-flight, then steadily landed on the ground.

[Hmm??? What just leaped up?]

[What happened? How did she catch it?!]

[Is this a joke? She caught it just by jumping up?!]

[Wow, how can she jump so high! The way she reached out to catch the chicken in mid-air is like an anime protagonist!]

[Ahhhhh, that was so fast, I couldn’t see clearly at all, and she caught it]

[Did anyone get a screenshot? Who got a screenshot? Is there a picture? I want to see the moment she caught the chicken!]

[No screenshot]

[Wanted to capture it, wasn’t quick enough]

[Too fast, in just that second, couldn’t capture it]

[Her jumping ability is incredible, the height the chicken flew at was definitely not something an ordinary person could catch, not to mention that there was such a distance between her and the rooster before she leapt up!]

[Her reflexes are so quick too, practically the moment the rooster spread its wings her figure was already chasing after it]

[Jiang Ning always does things so unexpectedly, it’s like every time she does something, it surpasses my understanding, and yet she actually manages to do it.]

Jiang Ning held the base of the rooster’s wings, weighed it with her hand, and guessed it was about four or five pounds heavy—it was not bad at all, enough for a hearty meal.

She walked back contentedly, carrying the big rooster. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Nong Chun stood there, completely stunned.

He had not expected Jiang Ning to actually catch the rooster and bring it back!

"You’re really amazing! The height just now, the rooster was about to fly away, but you seemed to take off with it," Nong Chun couldn’t help but say, his gaze fixed on the handsome rooster in Jiang Ning’s hand with a hint of surprise.

"Help me carry this," Jiang Ning said as she handed the rooster to Nong Chun, who quickly reached out to take it, holding it tightly, for fear the chicken would escape from his grasp.

Jiang Ning took out another unused Survival Knife and a bag of seasoning from her backpack.

Seeing her actions, Nong Chun began to guess, "You’re going to kill the chicken here?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "Mm-hmm, we’ll eat before we go back."

At those words, Nong Chun felt a bit excited. Jiang Ning had said "we," which meant he would also get a share of the chicken meat! Having not eaten all day, Nong Chun immediately felt a twinge of hunger.

After taking out the knife and seasoning, Jiang Ning picked a few large, long green leaves from the side, washed them clean in the stream water, and squatting by the stream, waved Nong Chun over, who immediately came over with the chicken in hand.

Nong Chun held the rooster’s body, and Jiang Ning pinched its head, skillfully sliding the Survival Knife right across its neck—the hot blood immediately began to flow out.

Before entering the forest, lots of stuff from their backpacks had been rearranged and left in the tents. Nong Chun’s titanium pot hadn’t been brought, and there were no other vessels available to collect the chicken blood, so Jiang Ning did not bother to save it.

[I don’t know why, but the way Jiang Ning cleanly slit the chicken’s throat made my own neck suddenly feel cold]

[She seems even more adept at killing chickens than my mom]

[Isn’t Jiang Ning only in her twenties?]

The slaughtered rooster didn’t die immediately; Jiang Ning asked Nong Chun to watch the chicken while she turned and walked back in the direction they had come from.

On the way here, Jiang Ning had spotted many edible wild plants, including wild ginger and wild thyme that could remove the gamey odor, both of which were nearby, so she planned to dig some up to use.

Jiang Ning worked quickly, and by the time she came back with the freshly dug wild ginger and thyme, the rooster with its throat cut had already stopped moving and died on the ground.

Jiang Ning tossed the wild ginger and thyme to Nong Chun, telling him to wash them, while she cleaned the rooster with the Survival Knife in her grip.

Without the means to boil hot water under the circumstances, Jiang Ning simply cut off the rooster’s head, feet, and wings, then peeled off the skin and feathers all at once, leaving behind clean meat.

After skinning it, Jiang Ning walked to the edge of the stream, gutted it, and her pale and tender fingers reached in to dexterously pull out all the innards.

[This... I never thought I’d watch someone kill a chicken in a live stream one day]

[When Jiang Ning was about to kill the chicken, I originally wanted to leave, as I can’t stand the sight of blood and always find it disgusting... but I actually ended up watching the whole thing unconsciously! And didn’t feel disgusted at all!]

[I don’t know why, but every time Jiang Ning does something, I can’t help but focus on her. Whether it was building a tent yesterday, going to the shore this morning, or just now when she went to dig wild ginger by herself, and even processing this chicken... Her every action seems so adept, her expression so focused and serious, it’s like watching a flowing cloud and stream, coupled with a certain indescribable charisma]

[Yes! The same for me! I was thinking of leaving, but I ended up watching it all unconsciously!]

[Watching her do things is oddly relaxing]

[Suddenly, I really want to know, where is Jiang Ning from? What was her childhood like? It seems like her wilderness survival skills are particularly strong! These aren’t just any regular rural kid’s skills]

[Curious +1, I also grew up in the countryside, but I dare not kill chickens, I’m not so familiar with forests, and catching chickens mid-air is even more impossible, let alone if there were snakes around... I would cry louder than anyone!]

[Haha, that’s so cute]

[Private detectives of the live stream | Class reps, get on it! My identity is the unbeatable cold youth of the Beijing circle, and I give you three days to dig up all of Jiang Ning’s information from childhood to adulthood and report back to the live stream! Don’t force me to creep darkly to your homes to beg you on my knees]

[Haha, the guests are divided into two teams now, and the program has split into two live streams. Although Jiang Ning and Nong Chun’s stream has fewer viewers than the one next door, there are 5 celebrities among the 7 people in the next room’s stream!]

[Celebrities come with their own traffic. Jiang Ning and Nong Chun are just ordinary people, but the traffic between the two streams can almost compare to one another. No need for you to shout, I believe plenty of media are already digging into Jiang Ning’s past, looking to ride on her popularity.]
