Chapter 2407: Chapter 2411: Stunned
In the evening, the group rested at the camp for another night.
The next day, at Qin Junye’s suggestion, they passed through a mountain forest, headed south to pick fruit.
According to Qin Junye, there’s a type of red wild fruit growing in the southern mountain forest, thin-skinned, juicy, slightly sour, but very pure in taste, and especially delicious.
He discovered them by chance and has gone there to pick them several times.
Xiao Shumiao was very interested and begged Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei to go.
Gu Junzhu, being the doting father, agreed without hesitation.
Yao Yaya sprained her ankle and needed to rest.
Yu Nuo had a slight cold, so Ye Xingbei instructed Yu Nuo to stay at the camp to rest and accompany Yao Yaya.
The rest of them left the camp and headed toward the mountain forest Qin Junye mentioned.
They trekked for over an hour before arriving at the mountain forest Qin Junye described.
From afar, Xiao Shumiao saw the trees filled with lantern-like red fruits.
He cheered and dashed forward.
Lingyue held Xiao Shumiao’s hand, and the two ran ahead.
Qin Junye trailed a few steps behind them.
Wan Chong and Xueno followed closely behind Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao, not leaving their side.
Arriving at the fruit trees, Xiao Shumiao looked up at the fruits on the trees, exclaiming, "Wow, so many fruits!"
Qin Junye rushed into the orchard, didn’t pause, and went straight to a tree. Hugging the trunk, he climbed to the top in a few swift moves.
"..." Ye Xingbei was stunned.
Xiao Shumiao told her that Qin Junye climbed trees quickly, shooting up to the treetop in a flash. She thought he had exaggerated.
Now, seeing it with her own eyes, she knew it wasn’t exaggerated.
Her son was telling the truth!
She often ran around in mountain forests as a child and had seen many fast tree climbers, but never anyone this fast.
He was faster than a monkey!
Gu Junzhu smiled at her and said, "Surprised?"
"More than surprised," Ye Xingbei enthused, "I’m amazed! How can he be that fast? How does he do it? He’s incredible!"
"This is natural talent," Gu Junzhu said, "If he’s interested in rock climbing or parkour, with some training, winning championships would be a piece of cake."
"Indeed," Ye Xingbei nodded, "I recently watched a rock climbing competition video. There aren’t many rock climbing experts in our country, but one of our contestants was especially amazing. In a viral online video, a top climber from our country and a climber from abroad competed. Our country’s climber moved so fast it was like watching a fast-forward video, climbing to the top in a flash, while the foreign climber next to him seemed to be in slow motion by comparison."
"That’s talent," Gu Junzhu said leisurely, holding her shoulder while watching Qin Junye, "Innate advantage combined with professional training and dedicated effort cannot be matched by people without talent, no matter how many times more effort they put in."
"Right, exactly," Ye Xingbei agreed, "For instance, someone who is tone-deaf, even practicing twenty-four hours a day with the world’s best music masters won’t make them a musician."
"Exactly," Gu Junzhu chuckled, "That’s why I say, it’s easy to find a talented person, but geniuses are hard to come by. We’re just out for a casual trip, yet we happen to meet one. We’re truly lucky."
