Arriving at the bank of the pond, a casual sweep of the flashlight revealed the ground covered in forest frogs. This made everyone incredibly excited, and they couldn't wait to bend over and start catching them.
Forest frogs in the same pond usually travel in groups when heading up the mountain. To be precise, these frogs had all grown up in this pond, and many were actually siblings.
Humans believe in "returning to one's roots," and many animals exhibit similar behavior.
Forest frogs are one such example. Whichever pond, lake, or river they are born and raised in, they will normally choose to stay in that same body of water during hibernation.
Furthermore, once they reach maturity, they generally return to the same spot to spawn.
Of course, nothing in the world is absolute; it's just that the vast majority of forest frogs behave this way.
Soon, the group had collected quite a lot of frogs, and the batch migrating up the mountain gradually became sparse.
Just then, Wang An looked at everyone's harvest and hurriedly said
"Alright, enough to eat is enough. Let's stop picking. We can't carry too many anyway; it's not worth it."
After Wang An spoke, the others still seemed to be craving more. It had to be said that this method of catching forest frogs was truly satisfying.
Sun Nian looked at the frogs in the gunny sack and said with a chuckle
"I've gotta say, hanging around Xiao An really brings a knack for finding food. We can even find delicacies while going to the bathroom."
Hearing this, the group froze for a moment, then instantly burst into laughter.
Although Wang An was thick-skinned, he truly couldn't handle the impact of those words, so he said with a face full of helplessness
"I say, Sister Nian, looking for tasty food is one thing, but let's not mention 'finding tasty food while going to the bathroom,' alright? People will laugh us to death. Those who don't know better will think we're looking for fresh shit to eat."
Once Wang An finished speaking, the group laughed even louder.
Sun Nian likely didn't realize her words were ambiguous, so the sudden outburst of laughter left her stunned.
Just as she was looking at the laughing crowd in total confusion, not knowing what was so funny, Wang An's words made her snap. Like a furious little tiger, she bared her teeth and lunged toward Wang An.
As she charged, Sun Nian shouted exasperatedly
"You bastard! Is that what I meant?"
It must be said that although it was dark and the others couldn't see clearly, Sun Nian's exasperated state looked a bit like she was acting spoiled.
Seeing Sun Nian's movement, Wang An instantly felt he was about to get beaten. He backed away, speaking very rapidly
"My fault, my fault! It was me who wanted to find shit for us to eat! Now, let's not mess around, there are so many people watching. We need to hurry back and prepare the frogs..."
Unfortunately, although Wang An's speaking speed was fast enough, Sun Nian had been blinded by rage, so not a single word he said entered her ears.
Still relentless, she closed in on Wang An very quickly.
Wang An had experienced this woman's kicking technique, and he knew he was no match for her in a fight.
Seeing that Sun Nian wouldn't listen to reason, Wang An didn't hesitate to turn around, stride out with his long legs, and bolt. He was incredibly fast, zooming away.
It was no exaggeration to say that when Wang An bolted, most ordinary people were no match for him. Although Sun Nian was very skilled in martial arts, she was still no match for Wang An when it came to running.
In fact, it wasn't just Sun Nian; there were probably very few people in the entire Heilongjiang province who could run faster than Wang An.
A few seconds later, the two of them had sprinted quite a distance, one following the other.
Seeing this scene, none of the others took it seriously. They just watched with a few chuckles and then headed back with their frogs.
It had to be admitted that when a woman goes crazy, her endurance is formidable, especially since Sun Nian had received professional training.
This resulted in Wang An—who frequently chased dogs and whose own endurance was quite impressive—actually being inferior to Sun Nian in terms of stamina.
So, while Wang An ran fast, under the conditions of having traveled all day and engaging in this kind of high-speed sprint, he soon ran out of steam.
Of course, Sun Nian was also reaching the end of her rope.
Thus, while running and panting heavily, Wang An tried to negotiate with Sun Nian
"Sister Nian, let's... let's just call it a draw. I admit defeat. You... you win, alright?"
As everyone knows, one cannot speak while sprinting, because speaking disrupts the rhythm of breathing, making one feel even more breathless.
Shortly after saying this, Wang An felt as if his lungs were going to explode. Then, his legs gave way, and he collapsed face-down on the ground.
But Sun Nian had been chasing very closely. Crucially, she was also out of energy by now, running purely on willpower.
Because of Wang An's sudden collapse, Sun Nian couldn't stop her momentum and crashed directly onto Wang An's back.
Wang An, who was lying there gasping for air, suddenly felt two soft mounds pressing down on the back of his head.
To be honest, Wang An didn't have any perverse thoughts at the moment; he just felt his head being pressed further down, and with his chin digging into his chest, he found it even harder to breathe.
It had to be said that although the two mounds of flesh were very soft, this position was damn uncomfortable.
Mainly, he couldn't breathe; it was suffocating.
He didn't know what Sun Nian had eaten growing up; she looked thin, but she was damn full of meat—firm meat.
In order to breathe, Wang An forcefully tilted his head back. With this tilt, Wang An discovered that Sun Nian's "assets" were quite substantial.
Actually, at this moment, Wang An felt it was quite nice—mainly because it was so soft!
Then, subconsciously, Wang An moved his head left and right, carefully feeling Sun Nian's greatness.
He had to admit, this feeling was truly damn comfortable!
Sun Nian wasn't stupid; she naturally felt the anomaly against her body. However, she didn't fly into a rage; instead, her small face suddenly turned bright red.
Of course, under the moonlight, it wasn't very obvious.
After freezing for a second, Sun Nian forcefully pushed Wang An's big head away and said with a blushing face
"You big pervert, hmph."
But her tone was coquettish, sounding as if she were acting spoiled.
After speaking, Sun Nian turned and ran away.
Comrade Wang An, having been pushed unexpectedly, ended up sprawled perfectly on the ground. When he got up and looked back, he saw that Sun Nian had already run far off.
Just look at this—running for half the day and getting exhausted, just to let me rub against her twice. Truly stingy.
When Wang An walked back to the group, he found that everyone had already skewered the forest frogs on branches, and all the lunchboxes were placed over the charcoal fire.
