Chapter 113: Hunting storm

Views:

If he had known that he had this idea long ago, he should have killed that wild girl when he was in the earth temple, and would never forgive her.

Du Zhong smiled and said calmly: "You are too angry and easily impulsive. I think it's good to keep her with us to exercise your temper and your patience."

"..." Xue Heng looked at Du Zhong, speechless for a while.

Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi went to the forest, but they failed to hunt a pheasant or hare for a long time. She couldn't help feeling very frustrated and humiliated, so she muttered: "It's just too late, otherwise I'll be here soon." Set up a trick in this forest, set up a trap or something, and keep it in your hands!"

Zhou Shizhi laughed out loud.

"You don't believe me? What I said is true! I didn't lie to you!" Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips in disbelief. Mr. Wu taught her, and she always remembers it!

"I don't believe you." Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Why don't you wait here, and I'll go ahead and look around."

"No." Lu Xiaoshu refused without thinking, and finally couldn't help asking: "Then what, how did Uncle Zhou do it? Is there any trick?"

Zhou Shizhi rubbed his nose and said: "He can observe the footprints and various traces on the ground, and can follow the traces to find the nests of small animals such as hares and mountain otters, and even gazelles, goats, foxes, wolves, and tigers." You can also find traces of them. As for all kinds of birds, he has good hearing and eyesight, and his judgment is better than others in these respects."

"Oh, it's natural!" Lu Xiaoshu lost interest in an instant. She was born with this ability, but she couldn't learn it.

"The second uncle is Orion," Zhou Shizhi squinted his eyes and looked forward, unable to restrain himself from thinking about the past. At that time, he was still very young, and he went hunting with his father and a group of guards in the palace, and ran into Xue Heng's father and son's family in the deep mountains. The father admired their father and son's craftsmanship very much, so he invited them back to the palace together. Since then, Xue Heng's family has settled down in the palace.

Later, later, he was implicated by the Wangfu, and disappeared overnight just like the Wangfu...

"Actually, Second Uncle is quite a nice person, he just protects me too much." Zhou Shizhi sighed softly, looked at Lu Xiaoshu and said.

Lu Xiaoshu glared at him and said, "Yes!"

Seeing her reaction, Zhou Shizhi laughed, and said, "Second uncle, he didn't mean to target you, so don't be angry with him. When he understands you, he won't—"

"Farewell!" Lu Xiaoshu said angrily, "I don't care about him! Hmph, what's so great about him? He keeps a dark face all day long as if I owe him 1.8 million silver! Oh, he even searched I haven’t returned my silver ticket! Help me get it back! It’s my private money, even my parents don’t know about it!”

Zhou Shizhi hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will help you get your banknote back sooner or later! How much is it in total?"

This means that he is willing to take on the debt, so of course Lu Xiaoshu couldn't wish for it, and quickly said: "It's actually not much for rich people like you, but it's more than 1,300 taels, let's count it as 1,300 taels alright!"

Zhou Shizhi said "Oh", nodded as she expected and said: "One thousand three hundred taels, I will remember it, and I will return it to you in the future. But, where do you get so many private houses?" Money?" Or did your parents not know about it

Lu Xiaoshu was suddenly at a loss for words, he hesitated for a long time but couldn't find a proper reason.

Zhou Shizhi looked at her evasive expression, somehow, subconsciously thought of Lin Fang, and decided that Lin Fang gave her the bank note. I couldn't help feeling sour in my heart, and said resentfully: The little girl is greedy for money, she dares to take anyone's money! But it's a good thing that she likes money, at worst, I'll just give her more in the future...

"Oh, look!" Lu Xiaoshu suddenly grabbed him and yelled excitedly, almost knocking Zhou Shizhi down.

Zhou Shizhi regained his senses and looked in the direction of her finger. In the grass, several gazelles were leisurely chewing and eating the grass, without feeling the slightest danger nearby. And Lu Xiaoshu's eyes were shining...

Half an hour later, Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu came out of the forest dragging a hunted gazelle.

Lu Xiaoshu was very happy in his heart, he glanced at Xue Heng as if showing off, and thought, what about your extraordinary talent and family history? I don't know what kind of gadgets are suitable for hunting pheasants and hares!

Family inheritance skills are not as good as luck, look at me, I was successful, and I hunted back a gazelle in the first shot! Much better than you!

Xue Heng was stunned, and rushed up and said, "Did you hunt this?"

"Yes! I discovered it!" Lu Xiaoshu was triumphant, with his hands on his hips and his little chin tilted up. However, he didn't notice that there was something joking and helpless in Zhou Shizhi's smile.

Xue Heng snorted and stared at her with contempt and asked, "Don't you even look at what time it is, what are you going to do with such a big thing?"

Lu Xiaoshu was taken aback for a moment, and was momentarily stunned.

Yes, how to deal with it? There is a distance from the source of water here, so let’s not talk about it. If you want to eat this yellow mutton, you have to disembowel it first! Otherwise, how can I speak easily? Moreover, such a fat gazelle is actually a waste. The four of them might not even be able to eat a leg of lamb, so can they take it on the road

It turned out that I had done wasted effort for nothing! Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being secretly depressed.

Frustration is depression, she is absolutely unwilling to admit it in front of Xue Heng. Moreover, when Xue Heng questioned her confidently as if he had caught her, she couldn't help feeling angry.

Lu Xiaoshu was about to defend himself, but Zhou Shizhi hurriedly laughed and said: "Uncle, Second Uncle, you wait a moment, I'll go to the stream to deal with it, and it will be fine soon! Hehe, it's rare to hunt gazelle, try it!" Yellow mutton is also pretty good, I haven’t tasted it for a long time! Second Uncle, please find some wild onions and wild ginger... "

Hearing that Zhou Shizhi also agreed with him, Lu Xiaoshu suddenly became more confident, and said bluntly: "Yes! I mean the same thing! We don't bother to care about hares and pheasants flying around all over the mountain! Eating that kind of thing all day Don’t you like the taste? It’s really tasteless! We deliberately want to change the taste!” After speaking, they called Zhou Shizhi, and the two dragged the gazelle to the stream.

No product? Still want to change the taste on purpose

Seeing the back of the two leaving, Xue Heng was so angry that he turned his head and looked at Du Zhong and said, "Brother, tell me, is it because I have no taste? The wild girl is just sophistry!" He said even more angrily, "Obviously I did something wrong. He can even argue a lot of truths, I have never seen such a shameless person! Sooner or later our Ah Si will get her underwhelmed!"

Not sooner or later, there are signs of deterioration now...

"You'd better go find wild onions and wild ginger!" Du Zhong still smiled calmly, and said, "Second brother, pay attention to controlling your temper, pay attention. You still need to exercise your patience!" The fire, carefully sharpened the bamboo stick and wooden stick in his hand.

Xue Heng stomped his feet, snorted, and turned his head angrily to the forest.

When Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi came to the stream, they didn't do much with the gazelle. After all, time was short and there was no need to take this thing on the road. Zhou Shizhi just cut off a fat leg of lamb with the sharp dagger, and cleaned the leg of lamb.

Lu Xiaoshu looked at the gazelle who was usually half-immersed in the stream by the stream and sighed regretfully: "I don't know if the fish and shrimp in the water are cheap or the beasts in the mountains!"

Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Who cares if it's cheap, anyway, what we want is enough, let's go!"

The stream water was cold and crystal clear, Lu Xiaoshu left reluctantly, picked up a string of crystal clear water splashes, and then landed on the water surface with a crisp sound. She pouted, turned her head to Zhou Shizhi and said, "You know that hunting is time-consuming and wasteful, why didn't you persuade me?"

Zhou Shiyi was stunned, and smiled indifferently: "Actually, it's nothing. Anyway, doesn't it take time for us to hunt other things? Since we ran into yellow sheep, it means that we should eat yellow sheep today! Besides, I haven't seen you so happy for a long time. How can I bear to spoil your interest!"

His eyes glanced over intentionally or unintentionally, and there seemed to be some other meaning in the flowing waves. Lu Xiaoshu's chest was slightly stagnant, and he felt his heart beating faster, so he hurriedly avoided his eyes, and teased Looking at the stream, he said vaguely: "It's all about Uncle Tuesday's fault, isn't it too hateful? If you catch a little mistake, you want to get mad at me... I can't see him like that, it's not unreasonable..."

"Yes, of course you won't be unreasonable! We've known each other for so long, so I naturally know." Zhou Shizhi laughed and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly, aren't you hungry?"

Lu Xiaoshu nodded and smiled, "Mmm", shook his hands and went back with Zhou Shizhi.

Xue Heng had already found seasoned wild onions and wild ginger, and Eucommia had also prepared bamboo sticks for skewering meat, waiting for their yellow mutton.

Zhou Shizhi gave the cleaned yellow goat legs to Du Zhong, and Du Zhong took it, and quickly used a dagger to slice off the mutton, but saw the bright silver light flying around, and there were pieces of square, moderately thick slices of meat They fell on the clean leaves one after another, and Lu Xiaoshu was amazed to see them, and couldn't help but praise them.

Du Zhong just smiled slightly.

Xue Heng couldn't bear to see her dog-legged appearance, so he couldn't help but said from the side: "Don't you still have half of the gazelle? Why is it missing? I thought you were going to take it with you as food along the way! What a waste!"

Lu Xiaoshu said rather: "Throw it away, I am happy to waste it, do you care? You can waste it if you have the ability?"

"Excessive words!" Xue Heng opened his eyes wide and became annoyed again, with the potential to fight her. Seeing this, Zhou Shizhi quickly called out "Second Uncle" with a smile, and dragged him aside to discuss other things. Xue Heng just gave up.
