The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 84
Uncle Liu stood up and was about to scold his son, but Xiaodao jumped up earlier than him, poking his neck and provoking, "Aside from me, who else would dare to hunt white foxes for Miss Xiaomi? If not, then why can't I hunt white foxes? "

As he said this, his eyes were looking straight at Feng Jian who was beside Xiaomi.

No matter how stupid the people in the room were, they could see what Xiaodao was asking, so the quietness in the room became even weirder, and even those who wanted to persuade them shut their mouths.

No one is blind, Xiaomi and Feng Jian are close on weekdays, and Feng Jian treats Xiaomi in every possible way, everyone can see that the two have a good impression.But everyone guessed that Feng Jian's status was noble, but there was always some vague rejection. Now that Xiaodao was clearly fighting for victory, they all wanted to protect their weaknesses, or took the opportunity to weigh Feng Jian's ability.It is not easy to pick the first flower of Laoxiongling.

Xiaomi was a little dazed, she had a modern soul in her body, and some of them couldn't perfectly integrate with this time and space.It's just a piece of white fox skin, how could it make everyone look different?
Besides, she wanted snow rabbit fur for puppet, and she didn't want white fox fur either.

She opened her mouth to ask, but felt that something was wrong. When she hesitated, she heard Feng Jian beside her say calmly, "It's just a white fox fur, so what's the problem?"

"Blag who can't, if you have the ability, go to the mountain and try?"

Xiao Dao was waiting for this sentence, his eyes were so bright that he was afraid of people, so he chased after him.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain together tomorrow."

On the other hand, Feng Jian's expression was still calm, without the slightest sign of fear, and he accepted the challenge easily, as if going up the mountain to hunt desperately, or just wandering around the back garden at home.

At this moment, Xiaomi finally understood that she was the "real target" that Feng Jian and Xiaodao wanted to hunt.

This made her a little shy, but anxious and panicked, and she was silent when she wanted to say something.

Under the table, Feng Jian shook her hand firmly and forcefully.

"Dinning, if you have free time, you can think about what kind of new jacket to make from white fox fur."

"Oh."

The banquet was still going on, but it was much more silent than before, but under the silence there was an undercurrent. Everyone was looking at Feng Jian and Xiao Dao. Feng Jian, who was like a thin scholar, was no match for Xiao Dao.

A few younger students who had been friends with each other on weekdays even secretly encouraged Xiaodao.This one came forward and said to lend him the hard bow at home, and the other said two extremely sharp daggers...

This night, because of the unwritten bet on the Lu family's wine table, and because the hunting will start tomorrow, many people are destined to toss and turn and cannot sleep peacefully...

But the sun will not speed up or slow down because of anyone's expectation or nostalgia, and it will appear on the top of Dongshan on time as usual.

The women in the village set up an incense table at the foot of the mountain. Mr. Feng came forward leaning on his crutches, and led the crowd as he had done for many years. He killed a rooster to worship the mountain god, and sincerely prayed that the mountain god would bless the hunters for their safe return.

Behind him, all the young and old who went up the mountain knelt down and kowtowed, and finally drank the spirits mixed with chicken blood, even if they greeted the mountain god, as long as they did not break the rules and left a foundation for the creatures on the mountain, they could hunt as much as they wanted up.

Feng Jian didn't kneel, but drank the chicken blood wine completely under Xiaomi's worried eyes.

There were four people in the Lu family who went into the mountain this time. The second son of Lu missed it twice before, so naturally he couldn't let it go this time. In addition, there was a little girl who was full of resentment because Xiaomi let Li Lin go and couldn't get justice. E, as well as Feng Jian and Gao Ren's master and servant.

How could Xiaomi not be worried, but this was still aimed at Feng Jian alone.She was still worried about the skills of her second brother, who was better off with wild beasts all over the mountain. Gao Ren even showed his prestige at the beginning of last winter. He eats Lu's food every day but treats Xiaomi like an enemy. Xiaomi is very happy to throw this "bomb" that explodes at any time into the mountain, just in time for her to have peace, and think about how to "deal with" her.

The only one left was Feng Jian, who only read and practiced calligraphy on weekdays. How could he be able to pull a two-load hard bow and fight over a mountain of beasts...

Feng Jian had already changed out of the long gown that hindered his hands and feet, and the short pants that were like hunters. The trousers were neatly tied with cloth strips, and they were put in deerskin boots. His hair was also tied with cloth strips. With a hunting knife hanging on the side and a longbow in his hand, he does not have a tough and domineering appearance.

Xiaomi was fascinated by the sight, and couldn't help turning red. After pondering for a while, he said, "Brother Feng, I don't want white fox fur. You just need to come back safely!"

"You don't need to like the things in this world, but hunting them back and putting them in front of you is something I must do."

Feng Jian flicked the longbow in his hand, and the bowstring buzzed as if summoned...

Gao Ren at the side rolled his eyes, moved closer to Xiaomi, and said flauntingly, "Xiaomi, white fox fur is not good, how about I hunt a white tiger for you?"

Xiaomi was full of worry and anxiety because he had nothing to vent. Hearing what he said, he raised his hand and knocked on it.

"Don't be brave, just take good care of your young master and come back safely. As long as you can sit down, whatever you want to eat in the future, I will make it for you at any time!"

Unexpectedly, Gao Ren was not happy when he heard it, so he snorted, as if he agreed.

Under the sunlight, the morning mist slowly dissipated, revealing a path leading to the depths of the forest. The hunting team walked in one file at a time, and finally disappeared behind the bushes that had turned dark green, and also disappeared into the forest. In the eyes of everyone.

Perhaps this year the family has no shortage of food and clothing, and hunting is no longer such an urgent matter, or because of the peachy bet, everyone is more concerned about guessing the result, not as heavy as in previous years .

Xiaomi was busy drawing the layout and structure of the powder workshop, as well as some wooden utensils, and sent them directly to Uncle Liu.It made the restless Liu family feel more at ease when they saw the blueprints. No matter whether Xiaodao wins or loses this time, it is good for Xiaomi to stay the same.

Aunt Liu and her daughter-in-law Gui Zhier were sitting together doing needlework, sighing again and again, not sure whether they were hoping for victory or defeat with a small knife.In short, no matter what, Xiaomi has nothing to do with his family, so he sighed even more.

During the day it was fine, Xiaomi got busy and had less worries, but at night she was terrified, always listening to the noise outside the door and had to get up to have a look.

Not to mention how she is here, but to say that the villagers who went up the mountain to hunt followed the brigade before, but gradually dispersed as they encountered different prey.Fortunately, everyone brought a wooden whistle, and most of them walked together in three or two, so there was someone to take care of them if they were in trouble.

The only one who was a bit out of line was Feng Jian's master and servant. Firstly, they were not familiar with the villagers, and secondly, due to Xiaodao's face, the two gradually fell into the single order, falling far behind the hunting team.

When entering the mountain in the morning, when the sun was westward, someone suddenly found that Xiaodao was missing, and couldn't help asking, "Did Xiaodao find the shadow of the white fox?"

The bystanders quickly glanced at Feng Jian's master and servant who was resting under the tree, and said in a low voice, "Listen to the whistle at any time, and I can help if something happens."

"to make."

"Oops, there's elk!"

The mountains and forests in September are generous, and beasts that have rested for a year can be seen almost everywhere, not to mention the snow rabbit that Xiaomi is talking about. In order to save energy for the winter, they run among the bushes and hunt in vain. It's very easy, and it's much easier to distinguish than on the snow in winter.

A junior who went hunting in the woods for the first time was ordered to hunt rabbits, and pouted angrily. After waiting until the big and small took a litter of rabbits and the whole family, he found that Feng Jian's master and servant had disappeared.

"Ah, Mr. Feng and Gao Ren are gone?"

"Could it be that the white fox was also found?"

"No way, it's really up to each other at this time."

After discussing a few words, everyone got busy.After all, after waiting for a year, this is a good time to harvest, a rare opportunity, not to be missed.It was very cold in Bei'an Prefecture, and it might snow in another month. In this precious month, how many skins could be hunted would be the biggest source of income for the family.

Run, run fast!
Xiaodao felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, but the white shadow in front of him was hanging on him from afar, and he really couldn't give up.

The white fox, an adult white fox, has a vigorous figure jumping and flying among the trees. The setting sun shines on its back, and its fur shines like a silver brocade, which is extremely alluring.

If I got the fur to make a jacket for Xiaomi, it would definitely make her face more pink and her big eyes more lively...

At that time, Feng Jian will have no face left, and Xiaomi will definitely treat him more highly...

Thinking in this way, Xiaodao's heart became even hotter, and he desperately chased with his last breath, completely ignoring that he was too far away from the hunting team.

The white fox seemed to be tired too, he kept looking back at the knife, his eyes gradually became more sinister, and he turned his head angrily.

Xiao Dao kept on stepping, the bow and arrow on his back was already in his hand, ready to shoot a deadly arrow at any time, it would be best if it could penetrate the white fox's eyes, so as to preserve the best fur.

But at this moment, the white fox suddenly stopped in front of a cave. The entrance of the cave was a bit deep, and with the afterglow of the evening sun, it was hard to see what lived inside.

Xiaodao carefully touched it with a bow and arrow, and when he wanted to distinguish the smell with the help of the mountain wind, the white fox suddenly let out a fit of anger.Shan Feng mischievously immediately scattered his coquettish air, quickly covered his mouth and nose with a knife, and when he tried to draw a bow again, the white fox had disappeared.

Needless to say, it must have gone into the hole.

If it was a small knife on weekdays, he would definitely have to investigate more, but the victory was right in front of him, and he was so excited that he couldn't calm down at all.

If this cave is the white fox's lair, maybe two more will be hunted back.

The knife poked open the bushes at the entrance of the cave, and groped in step by step, without even seeing a few golden hairs on the bushes that were shining golden in the afterglow of the setting sun...

"Ow!"

A muffled roar came from the cave, shaking the entire forest trembling.

This is the king of the hill, the roar of the tiger.

Xiao Daoyan looked at the two eye-catching tigers in front of him and behind him, his hands holding the bow and arrow were trembling, if he hadn't been leaning against the cold cave wall, he would have almost collapsed.

Born in Orion's family, what he heard the most since he was a child was the fierceness of big bugs.The grandfather of the Lu family, who was famous all over Bei'an Prefecture, just hunted a few black bears.
