Chapter 16 Sword Forest Mountain

Only then could she see the direction of her own courtyard, Zhao Huniu saw a sneaky figure outside the wall of her own courtyard.

Zhao Huniu recognized who it was at a glance,

She frowned slightly, then flipped her hands and took the spear off her back.

Zhao Erdan had just found a suitable stone and was about to climb over the wall and enter the yard, when suddenly something cold stuck to his neck,

The ice made the boy shiver.

It's okay if he doesn't look at it, after he sees clearly what is hanging on his neck,
Zhao Erdan almost peed his pants in fright.

"Are you here for a beating?"

Zhao Huniu's cold voice sounded behind Zhao Erdan. Zhao Erdan was startled and fell off the rock.

"You, how are you going back?"

He was just about to question, but when he turned around and saw the girl standing in front of him, the words he didn't say were punched in his stomach—that guy, that guy,

She had a gun in her hand!

Lightly tap the spear, the tip of the spear touched the ground, Zhao Huniu looked down at Zhao Erdan who was sitting on the ground, with contempt in her eyes,

"What are you doing here? Huh?"

During this period of time, because Zhao Huniu was almost soaking in the mountains, or selling quail at a stall in the county town, it was already midnight when she was able to go home.

Zhao Erdan often ran here when Zhao Huniu was not at home.Running here is not for anything else, it is simply for eating and taking.

Fortunately, Zhao Cunwu was told by Zhao Huniu last time, and this time it can be regarded as a long-term memory-give all the food at home, but once Zhao Erdan asked for money, Zhao Cunwu would shirk it. Know,

After coming and going, Zhao Erdan was annoyed by his uncle's simple and honest smile, so he didn't come to the door directly.

He changed tactics,

That is to take advantage of the opportunity when the father and daughter are not at home, to find out where their money is hidden.

It stands to reason that Zhao Huniu shouldn't be home at this time,
but she came back,

not only back,

Still holding the weapon in his hand.

Originally, Zhao Erdan was afraid of Zhao Huniu, but now that Zhao Huniu was holding the silver spear in his hand, he was even more afraid.

Hearing that Zhao Huniu said that he was going to beat him, Zhao Erdan got up in a panic and hurriedly got up from the ground; although he was terrified in his heart, he always looked at Zhao Huniu with fierce eyes,
"What are you doing running back by yourself?! Aren't you hunting in the mountains? Have you hunted enough prey today? After finally being useful, you ran back to be lazy. How can you feed your family if you don't work hard? I think you are a waste, Money-losing goods."

"I'm a waste and what are you?"

Different from Zhao Erdan's sternness, Zhao Huniu's expression is quite indifferent,

"You didn't grow anything in your field last year, I remember, I still came to my house to hunt in the autumn wind; as for hunting, in addition to bullying those children who are thinner than you in the village,

Falling to death a rabbit that has no ability to fight back or escape,
You can even catch a quail? "

As she spoke, Zhao Huniu raised the pistol in her right hand.Zhao Erdan was taken aback. Of course, Zhao Huniu didn't want to beat him up, but pointed his gun in the direction of Tianshan Mountain.

"Splitting Tianshan, do you dare to go? Not to mention Jianlin Mountain, it is Pingshan, do you dare to go?"

"Of course I do"

"Of course you dare to go?"

Zhao Huniu's calm but contemptuous expression made Zhao Erdan speechless, and then he became furious; he jumped angrily in front of Zhao Huniu, shouting loudly:
"I dare to go! Of course I dare to go! Even if you dare to go, of course I dare to go!"

"Ha ha,"

There is no need for too many words, just a chuckle from the throat is enough to make Zhao Erdan fly into a rage.

"If you think so, do as you please,"

Zhao Huniu said so, and walked towards the door of the house,
"Get lost," she said when she walked to Zhao Erdan's side,
"Or, you want to be like this stone,"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Huniu raised the gun and dropped it.

Although the gun was not used in this way, Zhao Huniu just lifted it up and slashed, and the stone that Zhao Erdan used as a stepping stone was broken into two halves.

Zhao Erdan almost didn't come up in one breath,

Even so, he still gave Zhao Huniu a hard look,
Then he ran away.

Zhao Huniu didn't even want to give him any extra eyes, so she insisted on shooting and entered the door.

There is not much food left at home, so Zhao Huniu knew it when she went to the kitchen and looked around; or she knew it when she saw Zhao Erdan appearing near her house,

Fortunately, I counted the places where she kept her silver money, but there was no shortage of more than a few copper coins in daily life.

There was rice cooked in the pot, and a plate of pickles that had been scooped out. It seemed that Zhao Cunwu planned to eat it directly after returning from farm work.This little meal was not even enough for Zhao Huniu to eat alone. After thinking about it, she scooped out the cooked rice and put it in a bowl, and then cooked a pot again.

While waiting for the meal, Zhao Huniu also put some pickles on her body,
After the rice was cooked and let it cool down a bit, she took a bowl, squeezed the cooked rice firmly in it, and made a bundle with pickles and hung it around her waist.

After preparing the food, Zhao Huniu put the gun on her back,

After changing into a more refreshing attire, she went out and walked in the direction of Pi Tianshan.

Pitian Mountain is divided into left and right sides. On the right is the lush and vibrant Pingshan Mountain, which is also the main hunting place for the people of Brassica Village. On the other side, there is the towering Jianlin Mountain.

Few people enter Jianlin Mountain, and even fewer people come out, and those who can come out completely are less and less.
As far as Zhao Huniu knew, Zhao Zheng was the only one who could hunt down a wild boar from Jianlin Mountain with all hands and feet, so he became famous in the first battle.

Although she hasn't completed her martial arts now, she has gained a little, and with a weapon at her side, she is just a mountain top.
She still has the confidence to break through.

Zhao Huniu was walking on the mountain road, stepping on the steps and adjusting her breathing.There are three cliffs in Jianlin Mountain, and the non-Pingshan side cannot be accessed.

Go straight along the original road opened by Pingshan, go to the direction where there is a fork, and then go to the direction of the weed end.
Go to the place where the terrain is obviously raised,

With a hundred-year-old pine as the boundary, Jianlin Mountain is ahead.

She exchanged a jar of Xinghuafen burning knives with Zhao Zheng for these news. The man also wondered why Zhao Huniu wanted to know how to get to Jianlin Mountain, but he didn't think that Zhao Huniu was planning to go there. while hunting,
After all, until now, he could barely accept that Zhao Huniu was able to hunt in Pingshan.

The closer you go to Jianlin Mountain, the more strangely shaped trees around you, and the more lush they grow.
The air is gradually cooling down,

Zhao Huniu's breath circulation has also been adjusted.Her eyes were like lightning, looking at the old pine tree that appeared in her field of vision.

The towering towers soar to the sky, and the majestic mountains obstruct the blue sky.The strange rocks are piled up like a sitting tiger, and the green pines hang like flying dragons.Jackdaws pick trees and have nowhere to live, and wild deer look for nests without a trace.It's a pity that it's hard for pedestrians to make progress, frowning and covering their heads.

The ground under my feet is soft, I don't know how many leaves have been corrupted to achieve it,
What Zhao Huniu dislikes the most is this kind of land.
Too soft ground is not easy to use.

She is already in Jianlin Mountain at this time, and the place connecting with Pingshan is not too steep. If you walk further, you can feel that the road is gradually becoming steeper.

Unlike what she imagined, Zhao Huniu didn't find any animals along the way.
There are even few birds singing on the branches, which is quite different from the situation in Pingshan.Although the number of trees and flowers is much more lush than that of Pingshan,
But unlike Pingshan, small things like pheasants and hares can be seen everywhere.

Although it's been a while since she entered the mountain and she hasn't harvested anything yet, Zhao Huniu is not worried;
The iron gun is carried on the back, just waiting for the appearance of the prey.

there is grass moving,
Zhao Huniu stopped immediately.

There was a rustling sound in the grass, and it didn't sound like it was caused by a large creature; in order not to disturb Zhao Huniu's secret luck, she was even more quiet at this time, who had almost no footsteps.

Although constantly approaching the grass that makes the sound,
The thing that was making noise in the grass did not notice it.

Zhao Huniu saw clearly what it was,
It turned out to be a fox, a fox with light brown fur, very large in size, I don't know how many hares it ate to grow to its current size.

The fox seemed to be lying on its stomach, its slightly arched back trembling,
Zhao Huniu saw the fox with her eyes, and her right hand reached behind her back to touch the barrel of the iron gun.

Although fox meat is not tasty, fox fur is a rarity; if you capture this fox back, you may have enough food and money for two or three months.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huniu slowly raised the gun.

Wait a minute,
Just when Zhao Huniu was about to stab it down with a gun, she suddenly noticed something strange about the fox—the trembling, which she thought was the tremor of the fox's active muscles when it was about to run away.

But now Zhao Huniu discovered that the trembling was not from the fox itself.
Rather, there is something driving it to vibrate.

Zhao Huniu frowned slightly, and she used the tip of a gun to push away the grass that covered the fox—

-

Seeing the thing under the fox, Zhao Huniu's eyes glared!
It turned out that it really wasn't the fox itself that trembled.

It was the lower half of it, which was being tightly entangled by a baby-thick snake body. The snake body squirmed and tightened the fox continuously, thus driving the grass to make a rustling sound.

Only then will the fox, which had already died, tremble.

Because the grass is dense and tall, Zhao Huniu only used the tip of the gun to poke one side of the grass, and what she saw was the upper half of the fox's body; after she pushed the grass completely away, she saw the snake's body covered with gray-purple scales.
Look at the thickness, it's just a section of the snake's body,
It is not yet known how big the complete snake is.

Zhao Huniu stepped back with the gun in hand,
But before she took a few steps back, a gust of hunting wind came from behind her left with a stench.
