Near noon, Zhu Junyang returned with a full load of two hares and a pheasant. In the nearby mountains and forests, people often go to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. There are not many prey. Such a harvest shows that the little county king has good hunting skills.
For lunch, Yu Xiaocao made "Salt and Pepper Hare Meat", "Spicy Small Pheasant", "Fresh Shell Multicolored Egg Custard", "Grilled Garlic Scallop", "Sea Sausage with Sauce", "Eggplant with Minced Meat" and "Sea Oyster Tofu Soup". The dishes are one soup, there are game and seafood, and the whole family is full of oil.
A small hunt in the morning completely aroused the interest of King Yang. As soon as he finished his meal, he picked up his bow and arrow and prepared to go up the mountain.
The West Mountain is so big, the Yu family was afraid that he would get lost if he was not familiar with the terrain, or that he would run into danger if he strayed into the deep mountain by mistake, so they asked Yu Hai, who had hunting experience, to lead him the way.
Yu Xiaocao was worried, so she found an excuse to sneak out of the house, and quietly followed the hunting team into the mountain.
Today, Zhu Junyang brought Director Liu by his side. According to Yu Hai's intention, he took the old and the young to walk around the periphery of Xishan, hunting some wild deer, roe deer and other prey, just to satisfy his curiosity. But Zhu Junyang had guessed his inner thoughts long ago, and he didn't stop at all when he encountered some small prey. His goal today is a large beast in the mountains.
Yu Xiaocao, who followed the three of them, gradually felt strenuous as the mountain road became more and more difficult. The waist-deep weeds made her take a lot of effort every time she took a step. Seeing the distance between herself and the front getting deeper and deeper, Yu Xiaocao was really afraid that she would lose her.
"Father, Xiaojun Wang! Wait for me!!" Yu Xiaocao finally couldn't help shouting when the figures of the three people in front disappeared from her sight. The deep mountains and dense forests cover the sky and the sun, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of getting lost in the mountains. Yu Xiaocao, a little girl who lacks field experience, if she loses someone, it will be difficult for her to find her way back.
The mountain was getting more and more steep, dense forests were overgrown, Manager Liu was always watching the movements around him, and he must not let his master miss the slightest bit. Suddenly, his ears moved, he stopped in his tracks to identify carefully, and softly called out to King Yang in front of him: "Master, listen..."
Zhu Junyang thought that Director Liu had discovered a beast, so he stopped and listened with bated breath...
"Dad—Dad—"
"Little Prince—wait for me—"
The echoes in the mountain forest were sent to the ears of the three by the mountain wind. Yu Hai's complexion changed, he hurriedly walked back, and said in his mouth: "It seems to be Cao'er's voice, this girl, who has been interested in hunting since she was a child, must have followed her secretly!!"
Zhu Junyang's face became more serious. He tried his best to identify the source of the voice, and his footsteps moved with the voice.
"Father... Xiaojun Wang—where are you..." Yu Xiaocao's voice was so angry that he didn't know if Dad and Xiaojun Wang could hear him. She lowered her head and carefully searched for the footprints left by them, but she didn't know that she was getting further and further away.
Yu Xiaocao found an open place, sat down on a rock, took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, and poured a drop of spirit stone liquid into her mouth. Immediately, her throat felt much more comfortable, and her tired body quickly recovered. physical strength.
"Father, King Xiaojun... where have you been? I'm Xiaocao..." Yu Xiaocao clumsily climbed up a crooked-neck tree, sat on a branch, put her hands around her mouth as a loudspeaker, and shouted loudly.
Zhu Junyang found Yu Xiaocao following the sound, looked around, but did not find Yu Xiaocao. He turned around, looking up and almost being knocked on the forehead by a pair of muddy moccasin boots. Fortunately, he was nimble and took two quick steps back to avoid it.
"Climbing trees? You're not small!!" Zhu Junyang looked up and saw Yu Xiaocao riding on a tree. Her hair was messed up by the branches, and there was a dead leaf on her temples. She didn't know whether it was sweat or tears, and her face was smeared like a little cat, and the clothes on her body were scratched a few times. If you don't look carefully, you may think it's a little beggar!
"Little County King!" Yu Xiaocao almost cried with joy, "Great!! Finally found you!"
Zhu Junyang watched the little girl clumsily climb the tree, and carefully moved under the tree. The boots under my feet always slipped on the tree trunk because of the mud. She could only hug the trunk tightly with both hands and slide down slowly.
Zhu Junyang couldn't stand it anymore, so he jumped up, holding the little girl by the collar behind her neck, and jumped down amidst the little girl's earth-shattering screams.
The sudden weightlessness made Yu Xiaocao think that she was about to fall, and while screaming miserably, she gritted her teeth and prepared her butt to bloom. After a smooth landing, she was held in the hands of King Yang, still screaming with her eyes closed.
Zhu Junyang used his other hand to dig out his ears, feeling that his eardrums were about to be shattered by this girl. Holding Yu Xiaocao's hand, he relaxed. The little girl's legs softened, and she sat down on the grass, only then stopped torturing his eardrums.
Huh? No pain? Falling from a tree, why doesn't it hurt? Could it be that the grass is too thick, or the fat on her buttocks is too thick? Yu Xiaocao touched her butt and glanced at the tree.
"Cao'er?! Why did you follow?" Yu Hai heard Xiaocao's tragic scream, thought she was in danger, ran over panting, checked her up and down carefully, and found out that she was not injured. relieved.
"I... I'm not worried about you, so I'll come and take a look..." Yu Xiaocao sensed the anger of her father rushing upwards, lowered her head and grabbed the grass on the ground, and replied eagerly.
Zhu Junyang sneered, and said, "Don't worry? Come and have a look? With your small body, can you help fight wild beasts when you encounter them? Or can you protect us from harm? Oh! I know, You must have sent yourself into the mouth of the beast to help us fight for a chance to escape, right? With your little fleshy appearance, you are not enough for a beast to get between your teeth!"
Yu Xiaocao couldn't explain that she had a small butian stone, so she lowered her head and listened to the training honestly.
Yu Hai saw that the area around her was already an inaccessible area, if her youngest daughter was allowed to go back by herself, it would be very dangerous if she went the wrong way and got lost in the deep mountains. But it's not good because my youngest daughter has swept away the interest of the county prince in hunting, so she bite the bullet and said: "Prince County, the little girl is not sensible, and I'm causing you trouble...Look, can you let the little girl follow us..."
Just came all the way here, over the mountains and through the forest, the road is very difficult, Zhu Junyang looked at the little girl in a mess, and wondered how this guy got here. Thinking that this girl might break her leg while climbing the mountain, or encounter poisonous snakes and beasts in the forest, Zhu Junyang wanted to pick her up and beat her up.
Looking around, the surrounding mountains and forests are densely covered with abrupt rocks. It is uncertain whether there will be beasts, and the little girl must not be left here by herself. But we’ve come here, so we can’t just leave empty-handed. It seems that I can only bring this guy along, I hope she won't hold her back!
"Follow up by yourself, I won't wait for you if you fall behind!!" Zhu Junyang gave her a hard look, turned around and continued to go deep into the forest.
Manager Liu found that his master's pace was much slower than before. He glanced at Yu Xiaocao who was trying to keep up with the crowd. Does the master sometimes accommodate others? Is the sun coming out from the west? !
With the addition of a small oil bottle, Zhu Junyang had a premonition that there was little hope of hunting a beast today. He no longer blindly rushes, but shoots an arrow when he encounters a prey he can see. Yu Xiaocao discovered that the Xiaojun King's arrow technique was not generally accurate, almost every arrow was shot, and the arrow hit the vital point. Each prey never needs a second arrow.
Red deer, wild sheep, roe deer, flower-tailed stick chicken... The most powerful one is that Zhu Junyang shot through the head of a big wild boar weighing more than three hundred catties with one arrow. He was killed by an arrow from King Yangjun.
Yu Xiaocao looked at the red deer and wild sheep on his father's back, and small prey such as pheasants and badgers pinned to his waist. Manager Liu drags wild boars, roe deer and other prey on a sledge made of branches. Even his hands were stuffed with two hares, and the little county king was still walking into the depths of the forest with great interest.
"Little Junwang, if you continue in the afternoon, you won't be able to take the prey! Why don't you go back today and come back another day?" Yu Xiaocao sat down on a rock, and really didn't want to wake up. Although there is spirit stone liquid to replenish her physical strength, she will still be tired, okay
Zhu Junyang carefully observed the nearby terrain and environment, looked back at her, and said: "You are really here to drag you down! If you are tired, you can just watch the prey here, and I will look inside again, maybe If you are lucky enough to meet a black bear, didn't you say that you want to taste the taste of a bear's paw?"
Yu Xiaocao glanced at the piles of prey. The smell of blood was definitely an excellent bait to attract predators. Let her watch the prey here, do you want to feed her to the beast? Little prince, what hatred do I have against you
"Little Tangyuan, are you here?" Yu Xiaocao softly called Xiaobutianshi to the five-colored stone on her wrist.
A golden kitten sprang out from behind her, jumped onto her shoulder, and asked arrogantly: [What's the matter with finding this god stone? You won't let the God Stone help you hunt, will you?]
Yu Xiaocao suddenly felt that Zhu Junyang was very similar to Xiao Butianshi. He usually has a high-ranking expression, pointing his nostrils at people, and his words are also unbeatable, and the biggest similarity is : It looks hateful, but when it comes to the critical moment, I never let her down!
"Little Tangyuan, go and help lure a ferocious beast over, preferably an underage one, easy to deal with! Tigers and blind bears are fine. If there are none, wolves can do it too!"
[Tsk tsk! Are you still addicted to using this god stone as bait? What are the benefits of this god stone? It's no good, the god stone can't do it! ! ] Xiaobutianshi is arrogant again. Every time I ask it for help, it always looks reluctant, which makes Yu Xiaocao very upset.
