Chapter 73 Tiger Roar
After fastening the bundle around her waist, Zhao Huniu leaned over to straighten her boots,
When standing up again,
He breathed a sigh of relief.

She planned to enter Jianlin Mountain today to try out the power of the newly shot crossbow.She didn't bring the long spear with her. She only carried crossbow arrows, short knives, and some dry food with her.

Zhao Cunwu is still sleeping,
In the past few days, Zhao Huniu has been busy getting married by herself, and he should not interfere. Zhao Cunwu often went to the field to take care of it——Before, Zhao Huniu went by herself.
Now I don't know if Zhao Huniu is going to get married soon,
He has already given birth to the girl's heart, don't bother to get out of the pavilion.

Or maybe it was his idea to ask Zhao Huniu to marry and get rid of the relationship with his family. In order to show his heart, he had already started to act at this time.

Zhao Huniu didn't care,
She just thought that since Zhao Cunwu was willing to take care of the fields, she would naturally have more time to do her own things.

"dong dong dong,"

There was a sudden knock on the door, which surprised Zhao Huniu; who would come over so early?
She went to open the door,
But he saw Kou Yujiao standing at the door with a bundle in his arms.

"Aunt Guo?"

Unexpectedly, the person who came was Kou Yujiao, Zhao Huniu said suspiciously:

"Aunt Guo came here so early, is there something urgent?"

The sky is still not clear at the moment, it rained and dewed last night, if there is no urgent matter, Zhao Huniu really doesn't know what will make her come here early in the morning.

"Naturally there is something urgent,"

Kou Yujiao smiled,
The girl in front of her was dressed in a strong outfit, she didn't look like a peasant girl at all,
With a crossbow on his back and a dagger hanging on his waist,

If people don't know, I'm afraid they will think it's a tiger girl from a certain family.

Kou Yujiao looked Zhao Huniu up and down, and couldn't help but secretly nodded.

"I heard you say you were going up the mountain yesterday. I remember that when you went up the mountain in the past, most of the dry rations you brought were steamed buns and steamed buns, which were not easy to carry or store. When I was young, I learned how to make dry rations for the army.
I made some for you to take with you.In this way, the skills are full, and they will not take up space like steamed buns. "

What Kou Yujiao held in her arms was what she called dry food,

Pass it to Zhao Huniu,

Zhao Huniu reached out to take it, and it was still warm through the wrapper.
I think I got up early to do it.

It was too early for her to pack everything up and get ready to go out, and she didn't know how early she would have to get up to prepare such steaming dry food——Kou Yujiao's friendship made Zhao Huniu's heart warm,
After holding the bundle in her arms, she bowed deeply to Kou Yujiao.

"Thank you Aunt Guo,

I will definitely bring this dry food. "

"It's a strenuous task for you to go hunting in the mountains, and you must eat enough.

Be careful yourself, too.

Don't try too hard. "

"I will, please rest assured, Aunt Guo."

Zhao Huniu didn't go up the mountain in a hurry, but sent Kou Yujiao home first, and then turned to the direction of Pitian Mountain.On the way to Pingshan without stopping, Zhao Huniu followed the path she often walked,
Together they entered Jianlin Mountain.

It has been a long time since I entered Jianlin Mountain.

After what happened to Zhao Erdan, she never entered Jianlin Mountain again.

From late spring to midsummer,

Now the trees in Jianlin Mountain are green and the water plants are lush, which is a scene of blazing vitality.

Although Jianlin Mountain is a trap that could kill anyone in Brassica Village at any time,
But for Zhao Huniu,

More like a treasure trove,
When she walked through it, she felt refreshed, and the birds and flowers were fragrant everywhere.

Really happy.

Recalling the package of dry food that Kou Yujiao handed to her when she went up the mountain, it was still hot behind her back - Zhao Huniu thought, just beat a fox,
When the time comes, send it to the city and ask the cobbler to peel it off to make a good shawl.
It can be regarded as a gift from my daughter-in-law.

Today is mainly to test the newly acquired crossbow arrows, so Zhao Huniu is not very particular about the type of prey.

May all your wishes come true,

As soon as this idea came to Zhao Huniu's mind, she heard a "rustling" sound of grass leaves in the grass in the distance; Zhao Huniu turned her eyes and saw,
Just seeing a huge fox with fiery red fur passing by,

She immediately bent down and ran to follow the direction where the fox disappeared. At the same time, she untied the crossbow bolt behind her back and held it behind her.

While searching quickly, he loaded the crossbow with arrows.

After adjusting the crossbow, Zhao Huniu closed one eye to aim. It is not easy to shoot a fast-moving fox in this lush forest.

What's more, you have to avoid obstacles on the road at any time.

But Zhao Huniu didn't intend to give up at all.

Finally, at the moment when the red fox jumped out of the grass, Zhao Huniu fired the crossbow in her hand;

The body of the red fox fell from mid-air,

Overwhelmed the blades of grass under the body.

Zhao Huniu put away the crossbow.

She walked to the red fox's corpse, and saw that the top of the fox's head had been pierced by an iron crossbow arrow, and it was gurgling blood at the moment—an arrow killed him directly, and the fox might not even have time to react.

Zhao Huniu pulled the crossbow from the fox's body first,

According to what Li Chui said, he wiped off the blood on it with the handkerchief he brought with him, and then picked up the fox's body to look at it.

In the past, she used bows and arrows to hunt. The arrows can only shoot at the soft and deadly parts of the animal, so that the prey can be taken away with one blow. But this crossbow arrow can directly penetrate the skull,
Zhao Huniu nodded in satisfaction,
It seems that spending the money is not useless.

Staying in place to drain the blood, Zhao Huniu simply dealt with it before leaving with the fox hanging.

Just now I chased the fox for quite a distance,

She looked up at the sky to roughly determine the direction, and then followed the traces left by her when she came all the way, and slowly found her way back.

I met many animals along the way.
It's just that she is docile and fearful, so she turned around and ran away when she met Zhao Huniu. She didn't bother to chase after her, and she didn't come here to beat those little things.

Occasionally there are fierce ones,
Things like snakes and embarrassment try to attack Zhao Huniu,

But they were all scared off by Zhao Huniu, or killed by her directly, and directly joined the ranks of their prey.

Fighting all the way and rushing all the way, it took half a day,
Finally got out of Jianlin Mountain without any risk,

Zhao Huniu just passed Pingshan,
The few traces in front of him attracted Zhao Huniu's attention.

that trace.
Zhao Huniu just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it, but after walking a few steps, she turned back and carefully identified the traces on the ground.

This trace looks like the footprints of a wild beast,

It stands to reason that it is not uncommon to see the footprints of wild animals in this mountain, but Zhao Huniu frowned deeply after identifying them for a moment.

"How did it appear in this place?"

she murmured,
But before she could figure it out,

On the other side of Jianlin Mountain, a flock of birds startled up, causing Zhao Huniu to look up immediately—"Roar!—"

A heart-rending howl,
It came from far away from the direction of Jianlin Mountain.
