The sun rises slowly, the golden morning light shines on the earth again, and a new day begins again.
In the whole camp, Xiao Yu was the only one who didn't know anything about his aunt's loss. He went to bed early last night, and woke up energetically at dawn in the early morning.
Haitang helped him put on a set of heroic blue riding clothes, but the little guy was not very satisfied, thinking that it didn't match the color of his pony, so he insisted on looking for a white dress, or the thrush was smart, Hastily diverted his attention with his new bow.
After carrying a whole set of small bows and arrows on his back, the little guy eagerly went to find his father, dragged his father and said eagerly: "Daddy, hunt! Father-in-law, hunt!"
Since Xiao Xiaoyu got the bow last night, he has been thinking about hunting. His father casually coaxed him to say that it was getting late and we would talk about it tomorrow. The little guy was thinking in his heart, no, he came to pester his father again early in the morning, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal, and repeatedly said that he was going to hunt, like a magic voice piercing through his brain.
Naturally, Xiao Yi couldn't bear it alone, so he went to Guan Yubai with the brat in his arms.
After a stick of incense, the little guy finally got his wish. He sat on the pony with his head upright, with Xiao Yi as the groom leading the horse, and Guan Yubai as the accompanying guard, and went out to "hunt" with his head held high. up.
That's why Brother Yu has a lot of face! Nangong Yue walked slowly behind, looking at her with laughter.
It is said to be "hunting", but in fact it means going out for a walk, not even going into the mountains, but just walking in the nearby woods, so as not to upset Xiao Yu.
That alone is enough for the little guy to be happy. He is dazzled by the lush surroundings, the fragrance of birds and flowers, and the beautiful mountains and rivers. Occasionally, his mother will pick some wild fruits with good colors for him to eat. Father can shoot two roe deer with one arrow.
They had only come out for less than half an hour, and the baskets filled with prey were already full of fruits.
The little guy has always been a bold one, and he was not frightened at all. From time to time, he applauded, exclaimed, and applauded, "Daddy is great!"
His fair little face was flushed like rouge, and he excitedly went to untie the small bow on his back, and it seemed that he also wanted to show his strength.
The little guy had short hands and feet, and was dressed like a meatball. After twisting for a while, he couldn't do it. Seeing this, Guan Yubai couldn't help but hugged him off the pony, and then untied the bow for him.
"Brother Yu, would you like your foster father to teach you archery?" Guan Yubai looked down at Xiao Yu with a smile.
The little guy responded again and again without thinking, his big eyes sparkling like lacquer.
Then, Guan Yubai put on the archery gloves for the little guy with his own hands, and taught the little guy how to hold a bow and set an arrow.
"whoosh whoosh"
The little arrows shot by the little guy flew crookedly, that is to say, Haitang and Baihui suffered a lot. There were only ten small arrows in total, and they were matched with his little bow. Each one was made by Guan Yubai himself. If they wanted to continue practicing archery, they would naturally have to pick up all the small arrows they shot.
At first, Xiao Yi thought it was Guan Yu who was helping the brat draw the bow with his hands, but after half an hour, when the brat himself pulled the bow and shot an arrow crookedly, he realized that the little bow might have something to do with it. doorway.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, and curiously took the little guy's bow.
"Daddy! Daddy" Xiao Xiaoyu called out aggrievedly, looking at his daddy with a pair of peach blossom eyes similar to his daddy, it was given to him by his adoptive father!
Xiao Yi ignored him, playing with the small bow with his big hands, and casually pulled the bowstring.
"buzz"
The thin bowstring kept vibrating, making a buzzing sound in the air.
Xiao Yi smiled with interest, looked up at Guan Yubai and teased, "Xiao Bai, it's just a kid's gadget, you are too much trouble."
It was not until he tried it with his own hands that Xiao Yi confirmed that this small bow was not just a scaled-down version of an ordinary bow and arrow. Guan Yubai deliberately chose raw materials to roast, dry and polish himself to make the body of the bow. Even the bowstring was hammered repeatedly and soaked in water. , the purpose is to enhance the elasticity of the material and the tension of the bow body, so if the brat pulls it casually, the small bow will be easily pulled apart.
It's also because the brat is really too young. If he is two years older, he can use this little bow to shoot a little badger for fun.
Seeing his father ignoring him, the little guy immediately turned to Nangong Yue to complain: "Mother! Daddy is bad." Xiao Xiaoyu pursed his lips, feeling even more aggrieved.
"Look at how promising you are!" Xiao Yi stretched out his finger and flicked the little guy's forehead.
Nangong Yue also looked at the small bow in Xiao Yi's hand. Hearing Xiao Yi's meaning, it seemed that this was not an ordinary bow. She was also a little curious in her heart, so she took the small bow from Xiao Yi's hand and tried it casually. What is so special about this little bow.
"Brother Yu, take good care of the things your adoptive father gave you!" Nangong Yue carefully returned the little bow to the little guy, and urged.
The little guy finally smiled through his tears, took the little bow and responded loudly.
Xiao Yi deliberately shook his head aside and sighed: "Xiaobai, you are overqualified!" His eyes were full of smiles.
Guan Yu couldn't help laughing, as if he had thought of something, he tapped his knuckles on the side of his body twice, and thoughtfully said to Xiao Yi: "A Yi, I'm just a trick." A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said meaningfully , "It's the white side concubine of Gongjun Wangfu who has a different opinion on bows and crossbows, and seems to have an 'adventure'."
Nangong Yue was stunned, of course she knew that Guan Yubai was referring to Bai Muxiao, the crossbow used by the God Armed Army was originally designed by Bai Muxiao, but it had some drawbacks, later improved by Guan Yubai, It was used on a large scale in the Southern Border Army just now.
"I don't know who and where she saw the design drawings from!" Xiao Yi rubbed his chin and laughed mockingly, "I have a bad memory, so I made a four-faced image!"
"Ayi," Guan Yubai said with half-closed eyes, "If we can find the person who actually designed the Liannu, it can be used by Nanjiang!"
Although Bai Muxiao's design drawing of the Liannu is amazing at first glance, it is tangible but boneless, so it fell apart after less than a stick of incense, which is enough to judge Bai Muxiao's working principle of the Liannu. I don't know why.
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai exchanged a tacit look. They both felt that since Bai Muxiao plagiarized poems and was not ashamed, it is likely that Liannu's design drawings were also plagiarized.
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes thoughtfully, staring at the green grass at her feet, her eyes were a little dazed. She thought of the past life, the past life, and the present life. Bai Muxiao has amazing talents, and she can always come up with some weird and unheard of things to "amaze" the world, making Han Lingfu bow down. However, Nangong Yue didn't know where those things came from.
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and smiled casually: "Xiaobai, if you care, just grab her and ask her!"
Xiao Yi didn't have a good impression of the people in Prince Gong's mansion, whether it was King Gong, or Bai Yi, or that so-called side concubine Bai, he hadn't forgotten that cousin Bai had caused a lot of trouble for Ah Yue in the past. .
Guan Yu laughed for nothing and didn't object.
The little guy couldn't understand what the adults were saying at all, and turned his head busy looking at the three adults.
At this time, a breeze blows head-on, blowing the surrounding branches and leaves swaying
"Daddy!" Xiao Xiaoyu suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing forward, "Tutu!"
Before the words fell, there was a sound of "嗖" piercing through the air, and an arrow shot out like lightning, and shot towards a white rabbit among the grass, but it missed, and shot right in front of the rabbit.
Seeing this, Xiao Si sneered mockingly.
"Whoosh—" ..
Another arrow was shot, but it missed again and shot behind the white rabbit.
Xiao Si was stunned, and put away his smile.
"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Immediately afterwards, several more arrows were shot out, and in the blink of an eye, the rabbit was surrounded by a fence formed by the feathered arrows.
Looking at Xiao Yi's smug expression, Nangong Yue couldn't help but touch his forehead, and he had the nerve to say "overqualified, underutilized" in the official language, he is simply laughing at fifty steps!
On the way back, Xiao Yu naturally had a fluffy white rabbit in his arms.
The poor little rabbit trembled slightly, and wanted to run away, but was too scared to move. In other words, it had already escaped once, but it was caught by Haitang when it ran out, and then it was stuffed into Xiao Yu's body again. in the arms.
Xiao Xiaoyu is quite satisfied with the results of this hunting.
It was only noon when the four of them returned to the camp.
Some young masters who went out for early hunting have returned, and the camp is filled with a strong smell of meat, accompanied by the sound of sizzling barbecue, which makes people move their index fingers.
"Wow!"
A cheerful dog bark came from the front, followed the sound, and saw many young men and girls surrounded by the ancient trees in the northwest corner of the camp, Xiao Fei, Yuan Yuyi and Chang Huanwei were among them, because Xiao Feiwei Yuan Yuyi and Chang Huanwei felt guilty about being unable to travel because of her feet, and they also accompanied her in the camp, saying that they wanted to fight herbs together.
Under the old tree, there was chatter and laughter from time to time, and the girls all smiled.
However, it was the majestic gray dog that attracted Xiao Xiao Yu's eyes the most.
"Dog!" Little Xiao Yu on the pony tugged on his adoptive father's robe, Guan Yu Bai picked him up with his left arm kindly, and walked towards the ancient tree.
Xiao Yi grabbed Nangong Yue's hand and followed to watch the excitement.
The atmosphere under the old tree was a bit weird, the giant gray dog was circling Xiao Fei excitedly, staring at Xiao Fei's hands, or rather, a fluffy white ball on her hands.
The poor fur ball curled up in Xiao Fei's hand, trembling slightly with the sound of the dog barking, part of the white fluff was wet, as if it had been rained.
"Harray Eagle, come back!" Yan Xijun scolded sharply, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his usually indifferent face.
Unfortunately, the gray dog just glanced at him, then continued to flick its tail around Xiao Fei, its long tongue drooping excitedly, and its saliva dripping on the ground.
Yu Xiufan laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward, and joked, "Xiao Junzi, your Eagle Eagle is still so 'obedient'!"
One sentence made Xiao Fei and Yuan Yuyi cover their mouths and chuckle.
Yu Xiufan glanced at Yuan Yuyi with a smile, and wanted to speak, but he caught sight of several familiar figures, and blurted out: "Brother, sister-in-law, Master Hou!"
From hearing the sound, everyone saluted Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and the others one after another.
Xiao Xiaoyu couldn't see other people at all, and stared at Yaoying with burning eyes.
Xiao Yi asked casually: "Xiao Fanzi, what's so lively?"
Yu Xiufan said with a smile: "Brother, Xiao Junzi's kite hawk came back after biting a ferret just now!"
Yu Xiufan said excitedly, Harrier Eagle slipped out of the camp early in the morning to play alone, and when they came back, they found an extra ferret in its mouth, which was still alive. But this stupid dog just refused to let go, and even played hide-and-seek with Yan Xijun. The noise made by one person and one dog attracted all the boys and girls in the camp to watch the fun.
Later, it was Xiao Fei who came forward to try to persuade Yaoying, and finally rescued the little thing from the dog's mouth.
Ferrets are not uncommon in the north, but this is the first time Nangong Yue has seen them in southern Xinjiang. It turned out that the reason why this little thing was wet was because of the saliva of the kite eagle. She couldn't help but hook her lips into a smile.
The little Xiaoyu in Guan Yubai's arms also followed the dog's gaze to see the white ball in his aunt's hand, his eyes were burning, he tilted his head and asked, "Father, what is this?"
At this time, Bai Zhou came over with a small rattan basket, which was carefully covered with a layer of purple flannelette.
Xiao Fei put the fur ball into the basket. The little thing flicked its fluffy tail and curled up into a ball again. It was completely white, but the tail was black. One of its hind legs was stained with blood. The blood is particularly glaring on the white down.
Guan Yubai casually glanced at the fur ball, and said with a smile, "This is a ferret."
"Ferret," the little guy repeated blankly.
Xiao Fei froze for a moment, looked at the white ball in the basket again, and said doubtfully, "Isn't this a ferret?"
"The whole body is snow-white, the tip of the tail is black, this is a ferret." A brown-robed man beside him couldn't help but say.
"Ferrets don't like heat." Guan Yubai said flatly, his voice warm and clear. He leaned over slightly in accordance with the little guy's movements, and the little guy's fingers touched the soft white fur, and he smiled so contentedly that his eyes narrowed.
Xiao Fei was thoughtful, this is southern Xinjiang, ferrets may die of heat in summer, but ferrets are very adaptable.
"Master Hou really has bright eyes!" Xiao Fei praised.
It's not just that his eyes are like a torch, but An Yihou is really good at everything! Xiao Fei looked at Guan Yubai with natural admiration.
She was looking at Guan Yubai, and others were looking at her.
The brown-robed young man showed resentment, and wanted to speak, but Nangong Yue said with a smile: "When the spring comes, we will know whether it is a ferret or a ferret."
The coat color of the ferret varies with the seasons. It is snow white in winter, and it turns grayish brown in summer. To those girls, it is naturally no more lovable than a ferret.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a ferret or a ferret, anyway, I'm lucky to see it." Yuan Yuyi said with a smile.
But it's just that they came out to hunt. This little thing was bitten by a hunting dog, but he saved his life. Isn't that a good life!
The girls couldn't help being amused, and they laughed like silver bells.
"Aunt" Xiao Yu looked at his aunt expectantly, hoping that his aunt would lend him the "fur ball" to play with.
Xiao Fei smiled at the little guy, subconsciously put her voice down and said: "Brother Yu, it's injured, when it recovers, how about we put it back in the forest together?"
The little guy blinked his beautiful big eyes, and nodded ignorantly, that cute look once again melted his aunt's heart.
Baihui quickly came over with the medicine box, carefully cleaned the ferret's wound, applied medicine, and tied a bandage.
The other boys and girls all left one after another, Xiao Xiaoyu didn't notice it, he was engrossed in watching Baihui's every move, he didn't even want to leave during lunch, he had to look at the ferret before he would eat, and he stopped shouting It's time to hunt, and "care" for the injured ferret in the camp, feeding water, feeding, and sleeping with him
The happy time passed quickly, and the two days and two nights of hunting, games, barbecue and walking passed in the blink of an eye.
Early the next morning, the little guy and his aunt released the ferret back to the forest. The little guy who doesn't like to cry usually cried a lot. In the end, Xiao Fei could only call Yaoying to coax his little nephew.
At noon, commotion broke out in the camp. Xiao Yi gave an order, and everyone left the camp and returned home in a mighty manner. This time the winter hunting can be said to be a fruitful return, and everyone still has something to say.
As the sound of rumbling horseshoes and cart wheels went away, the original tranquility was restored under Wanqing Mountain.
