Qingyun: From entering Chaoyang Peak

Chapter 10
At noon, there was no cloud on the day of a round of red sun.

Xu Qingteng left from Taijiping, returned to Songhexuan Courtyard, and started to cook. After eating and drinking, he picked up a bag and suddenly walked towards the back mountain with the Millennium Spiritwood Sword in his hand.

Xu Qingteng is an orphan in this life. He grew up in Hongye Village eating a variety of meals. He is very skilled in fishing in rivers and digging out birds' eggs in trees.

He also followed the hunters in the village and entered Taohua Mountain to learn hunting skills.

Now entering the back mountain of Chaoyang Peak, Xu Qingteng's skills are finally useful.

On the back mountain of Chaoyang Peak, there are towering tall trees, with lush branches and leaves covering the sky like an umbrella, the air is cold and humid, and the light is extremely dim.

Xu Qingteng turned around the slope, grasped the geese and climbed the vines, looking for the traces of the fox, rabbit and roe deer.

What a mountain!
But see: hidden tigers and leopards, hidden wind and clouds, dripping water from cliffs, flying waterfalls, vines hanging upside down, and the sound of running water. Xu Qingteng walked among them, looking around cautiously, for fear of predators, but also cautiously looking for foxes, rabbits and deer. The 'beast path' route traveled by the deer.

This is the housekeeping skill of a hunter, judging an animal's walking route from the paths in the mountains and forests, the broken and curved shapes of vegetation branches and leaves, and the feces left by animals.

Then on this route, traps are set to catch prey.

Not long after Xu Qingteng entered the back mountain, he found a "beast road route", and quickly followed this route, took out ropes and other things, and set the simplest trap.

Once the trap is set, all you need to do is wait for the prey to take the bait.

So Xu Qingteng took another detour and found a secluded place downwind.

Quietly set up the horse stance and practice the pile skills, unknowingly time flies, an hour has passed.

After practicing horse stance for an hour, Xu Qingteng's eyes were bright, her temples were slightly bulging, her body was full of energy, and she also felt empty in her stomach.

Today I practiced Qingyun swordsmanship all morning, and now I have practiced horse stance for another hour. The energy consumption is too high, so Xu Qingteng urgently needs food supplements.

He licked his lips, and walked upwind with anticipation.

In the mountain forest at the upper air outlet, before approaching, there was the clucking of wild pheasants, and the sound of "Yo Yo" suspected of being a fox, Xu Qingteng's heart moved.

Taking a closer look, Xu Qingteng grinned.

A wild pheasant covered in white feathers and a red fox with fiery fur were caught in the trap lock in the forest.

What is this called?
The fox catches the chicken, and the hunter follows?
When Xu Qingteng strode over, the wild pheasant and the red fox panicked, and couldn't help screaming "cluck, yo, yo", as if frightened.

Xu Qingteng went to catch wild pheasants first.

This is a staple.

He stepped forward, gripped the thousand-year-old spirit wood sword tightly, and knocked on the head of the white-feathered wild pheasant. With a sound of "bang", the white-feathered wild pheasant's head bent down.

Then there was no more sound.

"YoYo."

The red fox was terrified, and suddenly struggled desperately. Xu Qingteng stared at it, and suddenly walked over.

For a moment, the red fox's body was stiff and motionless, with a pointed face with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, looking at him pitifully, with two black eyes rolling, and a low moan coming out of its throat, looking very pitiful, as if begging Xu Qingteng spared his life.

"scoff~"

Xu Qingteng slashed with his sword, and the rope binding the red fox's hind limbs broke. As soon as the red fox loosened its body, it suddenly regained its freedom, turned around and ran away.

But after running a few steps, it stopped again, turned around and looked back.

"YoYo."

The red fox yelled happily.

"let's go."

Xu Qingteng waved his hand and glanced at this spiritual red fox with a smile on his mouth, and a pair of clear eyes filled with a hint of pampering.

"This red fox looks quite cute."

Watching the red fox walk away, Xu Qingteng turned around and carried the white-feathered wild pheasant, walked to a small stream downwind, disemboweled the white-feathered wild pheasant, plucked its hair and washed it.

A pile of wild pheasant internal organs, bloody piled on the gravel.

Full of fishy smell.

"Yo Yo." Just as Xu Qingteng was cleaning the white-feathered wild pheasants, a familiar "Yo Yo" sound suddenly came from behind.

Xu Qingteng turned around and saw a red fox with fiery red fur all over its body, looking at him, or to be more precise, at the pile of wild pheasant viscera at his feet. The tail was raised high, and the tip of the nose moved slightly, as if greedily sniffing the bloody smell in the air.

"What, do you want to eat?"

Seeing the pitiful look of the red fox salivating, Xu Qingteng smiled and asked, pointing to the internal organs of the wild pheasant at his feet.

"YoYo."

The red fox tiptoed, and suddenly took a few steps forward.

A pair of eyeballs rolled around, as if looking at Xu Qingteng's attitude, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, he tiptoed forward a few steps.

Then, he stopped one meter away from Xu Qingteng.

It squatted on the ground, raised its head and looked at Xu Qingteng, carefully studied it for a few seconds, then quickly rushed to the wild pheasant's internal organs, bit a piece of intestine and ran away.

Running quickly into the jungle, it turned around and looked, and found that Xu Qingteng was still not moving. The sharp face with slender eyebrows and eyes was vivid and joyful, and it quickly lowered its head to eat up its intestines, and then let out a happy "Yo Yo" , rushed to the wild pheasant's internal organs again.

This time, it was much bolder.

It seemed that Xu Qingteng would not hurt it, so he ran to the internal organs of the wild pheasant, lowered his head and began to bite.

Xu Qingteng was right next to it, and it didn't run away either.

"Ha ha."

Xu Qingteng smiled, ignored the red fox, and dipped his hands in the cold stream to clean the wild pheasant inside and out.

"Whoa..."

There was a sound of water splashing, Xu Qingteng stood up holding the wild pheasant, the red fox was startled, turned around and ran a few steps, but seeing Xu Qingteng ignored it at all, and instead carried the wild pheasant towards the fire next to it, he felt very happy Complacent, he lowered his head and enjoyed the food he picked up for nothing.

Beside the stream, at the gravel, Xu Qingteng lit a bonfire.

A wild pheasant was placed on the bonfire. Xu Qingteng smeared the salt seasoning brought from the kitchen of Songhexuan courtyard, and then turned it over to grill.

The red fox devoured the internal organs of the wild pheasant, and after a while, it was eaten clean, and then it didn't run far, but stayed on the gravel, squatting upright.

Occasionally stood up, on all fours, with a pointed face with slender eyebrows and eyes, nose protruding, eyeballs rolling around, looking around vigilantly.

In this way, I accompanied Xu Qingteng until the wild pheasant was roasted.

"Crackling."

At the bonfire, the wild pheasant barbecue meat was golden in appearance, and crystal golden oil beads dripped into the bonfire, making a "crackling" sound.

Because of the seasoning with salt grains, the fragrance has been diffused.

Not only Xu Qingteng, but even the red fox watched the wild pheasant barbecue, drooling greedily, approached the campfire without knowing it, and squatted beside the campfire.

"It smells so good~"

Finally, the wild pheasant was roasted, Xu Qingteng picked up the wild pheasant meat, tore off a chicken leg, took a few breaths of cool air, and started to eat it hungrily.

After a few breaths, one chicken leg was eaten, and Xu Qingteng threw the bone of the chicken leg to the red fox.

The red fox yelled, and quickly lowered its head to lick it.

"Yo Yo, Yo Yo."

Even if Xu Qingteng ate the leftover chicken bones, the smell of barbecue gave the red fox a taste experience that he had never had before. Immediately, he let out a few excited sounds, raised his fluffy tail, and lowered his head to lick the chicken bones clean , and then looked expectantly at Xu Qingteng.

That expression was like that of a domesticated red dog.
