Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 22: Pheasant Hunting

Feng Yao thought that the Zhu family would be relentless, but that probably happened after she developed.Unexpectedly, only one day later, Mrs. Zhu found her brazenly.Holding Zhu's wrist, he pushed it aside hard: "Don't provoke me, or I will be rude to you!"

Mrs. Zhu staggered from being pushed, and watched Fengyao lead Doudou away in a daze. She didn't slap her thigh until she walked a long distance away!How did you get fooled by this little hoof again?It was the same yesterday, I was led by the nose for no reason, and signed the severance letter in a daze!
Could it be that Little Hoof was possessed by a ghost?Looking at Feng Yao's tall and straight back, a thought flashed in Zhu's mind, and he shook his head to shake it away.She must have been too tired to take care of Changsheng last night, so she was scared by this little hoof.

Hmph, the little hooves are about to get some food.Mrs. Zhu curled her lips, Xiao Hoof has no other skills, but she is a good hand at work.So she asked her to get it, and when she got something good, she just used it to make up for Changsheng.Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, he turned and walked briskly.

"Mother, grandma was so scary just now." After walking a long way, Doudou dared to turn around, looked at the trail where no one was seen, and said to Feng Yao.

"Doudou is not afraid." Feng Yao said, "From now on, she is not your grandma, Doudou need not be afraid of her."

Doudou didn't understand: "It's not grandma? What is that?"

"Nothing." Feng Yao replied.

Doudou still half understood, but seeing her mother's cold expression, she obediently didn't ask any more questions.The two walked for about a quarter of an hour, and finally came to the foot of Yuhua Mountain.

The lush Yuhua Mountain is tall and continuous.The trees at the foot of the mountain are sparse, and the sun can still be seen.After walking into the depths, the branches and leaves gradually became thicker, the hot sun was blocked outside, and only a few rays of sunlight came through the gaps in the branches.Feng Yao held Doudou in one hand and a small shovel in the other, her sharp eyes kept scanning the surroundings and the ground.

The two walked for about two quarters of an hour, and there was nothing edible. There were human footprints and signs of wanton picking and destruction everywhere.Feng Yao frowned, knowing in her heart that there must be nothing at the foot of the mountain, and if she wanted to get good things, she had to go to a higher place.She herself has no problem, can Doudou bear it?

The main courtyard of the Shen residence, in the main hall.

"What?!" Su Linglong slammed the golden peony teacup with a white background on the sandalwood table, her pretty face turned hideous with anger: "Failed?!"

"Yes, ma'am." A servant kneeling in the hall replied in fear as he fell on the ground.

"The rules of Wuyou Building, don't you have to do it no matter what you take money from your employer?" Su Linglong turned suspicious.

"They said that a nobleman saved the life of the Feng family and refused to accept the task." The boy said, and took out a brocade bag from his arms: "This is the compensation they returned."

Su Linglong's eyes widened suddenly: "Your honor?!" The Feng family was just a peasant woman, so who could she recognize?Could it be... the handsome face that belonged to Shen Yunzhi flashed into his mind, and he suddenly understood, grabbed the valuable painted cup on the table, and slammed it to the ground: "Shen Yunzhi! Hello!"

She spent 50 taels of silver to take the lives of the Feng family and the lowly species, but Wuyoulou returned the money and no longer accepted the task!How much money did Shen Yunzhi give them to make them like this?Could it be that the lives of that bitch and the bitch are so important to him?Su Linglong's heart was churning, and she gritted her teeth: "Bitch! You bastard! Do you think this lady has nothing to do?"

The reason why they hired people from Wuyoulou was that they didn't want to be caught.But what is her identity?The youngest daughter whom the prime minister loves the most, the wife of the crown prince's confidant, who would dare to gossip after killing a little peasant woman?Just as he was about to send someone to go again, Liu Er, the servant girl beside him suddenly said, "Madam, don't worry."

"Huh?" Su Linglong looked up.

I only heard Liu'er say: "Although the Feng family is a peasant woman, very lowly, but if someone catches them, it will not be good for your reputation. If it is not like this, ask your adults to take them into the mansion. Time is right under Madam's nose, so it's not up to Madam to say what she wants?"

Su Linglong rolled her eyes, clapped her palms and smiled, "That's right." The Empress's birthday is approaching, and as the right-hand man of His Royal Highness, Shen Yunzhi has been very busy recently, and Su Linglong hasn't been close to him for a long time.Taking this opportunity, just to see how busy he is?Outside Xuanjing City, at the foot of Yuhua Mountain, Fengyao walked up the mountain with Doudou in a small basket on her back.The good things at the bottom of the mountain were almost all picked, Feng Yao thought about it, and decided to take Doudou up the mountain.

Walking to the halfway up the mountain, there were fewer people and more and more traces of natural plants. Feng Yao was lucky enough to see a pheasant!

"Doudou is waiting for me here!" Feng Yao withdrew from the small back basket, stooped and walked quietly to where the pheasant was.The pheasant didn't know the danger was coming, and it was still pawing leisurely in the grass, occasionally lowering its head to peck.

Suddenly, the pheasant stretched its neck: "cluck—" screamed, the whole pheasant was pierced by a dagger, flew upside down more than one meter away, and fell to the ground flapping its wings unwillingly.

What a fat chicken!Feng Yao walked over and picked up the fluttering pheasant. Feeling the heavy weight, she couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.He grabbed the pheasant's neck and twisted it hard, then drew back the dagger, picked up the pheasant's two feet, and let the blood drip from the pheasant.After the blood dries up, he walks back holding the pheasant's feet.

"Mother is so amazing!" Doudou, who was waiting obediently under the tree, saw Feng Yao approaching with a pheasant, her eyes widened involuntarily, her small face was full of admiration.

Feng Yao smiled, bent down and grabbed two handfuls of soft weeds from the ground, put them in the basket, put the pheasant inside, and covered them with a layer of soft grass.Doudou happily ran around, clapping her hands, and happily said: "Eat chicken! Eat chicken!"

Seeing the pure and happy expression, Feng Yao's heart softened: "Dou Dou is good, mother will make meat for you every day from now on."

Such a small person can only grow strong if he eats more nutritious things.Unknowingly, Feng Yao has already regarded Doudou as a close person in her heart, not a little tail that she has to take care of just to fulfill her promise to the Feng family.

"Mother is the best!" Doudou happily jumped over and hugged Feng Yao's neck when she heard that there was meat to eat every day, and gnawed on her face.Then I imagined the scene of eating meat every day, with a erratic look in my eyes, and I couldn't stop laughing.

Feng Yao didn't interrupt him, she carried the basket on her back, took his little hand and continued to walk up.It would be great if I could get another hare, so that there would be meat for tomorrow.But after walking for a long time, there was no trace of animals. Instead, I found a pepper tree, as tall as a person, rooted crookedly beside the rock.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is an excellent condiment, Feng Yao naturally refused to let it go, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, picked a lot of Zanthoxylum bungeanum seeds and wrapped it up.The pepper leaves are also good things. Feng Yao put the pepper seeds away, picked up another branch of pepper that grew well, carefully broke off the sharp thorns, and put it in the back basket.

"What is this? Mother, is it delicious?" Doudou picked up a green and red peppercorns, and thought it was really fun, so he stuck out his little tongue and licked it.The next moment, he grinned bitterly and said, "Mother, there is a bug biting Doudou's tongue—"

The tip of the tongue was so numb, as if dozens of small insects were biting it, Doudou was terrified, and forgot what Fengyao taught him that a man should not shed tears, and cried: "Doudou's tongue will be eaten Dropped, woo-woo, don't eat Doug's tongue—"

Feng Yao was immediately angry and funny: "Who told you to eat indiscriminately?" He quickly squatted down, wiped and blew, and coaxed the little guy for a long time before coaxing the little guy to get rid of his fear.Doudou stretched out her fingers and pinched her tongue, and checked repeatedly a dozen times. Seeing that the insects hadn't eaten her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Doudou won't eat indiscriminately from now on."

"Let's eat a peach." Feng Yao took out a small package from the corner of the small basket, which contained a few half-ripe peaches, which were generously contributed by the contented Song Qiaoer after eating Feng Yao's sweet and sour fish last night .

Doudou took the peach and took a big bite. The sweet and sour peach juice filled his lips and teeth, diluting the numbness brought by the peppercorns.Feng Yao found a piece of clean turf around her, hugged Doudou to sit down, and rested herself.I have to say that this body is still too weak, and my legs are a little sore after climbing half a mountain.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Doudou screamed.

"Huh?" Just as Feng Yao was looking around, a small white fox the size of a palm appeared on Doudou's head at some point. Its hind leg was injured, and it was flapping around with the other three paws, trying to get on Doudou's head. Sit on your head.

The little fox was all white, only the size of a palm, and looked very cute: "Don't be afraid, Doudou." Feng Yao stretched out to catch it, but suddenly saw the little fox turned her head sharply, threatening her in a low voice with bared teeth.Was it a ferocious beast?Feng Yao's eyes sank, and she was about to show it some color, when Doudou suddenly said, "Little cat, don't move around."

With the fluffy touch, Doudou thought it was a kitten, with surprise on his face, he threw away the peach pit after eating the peach meat, and grabbed it with his little hand: "Little kitty, do you want to play with me?"

"Doudou don't move!" Feng Yao hurriedly shouted, but it was too late, Doudou's little hand had already caught the little fox.At this moment, Feng Yao was surprised to find that the little fox had no hostility towards Doudou, just like a real kitten, obediently letting Doudou catch it.

Feng Yao didn't dare to take it lightly, she watched the little fox closely to prevent the little fox from hurting people suddenly.However, to Feng Yao's surprise, the little fox was very well-behaved in Doudou's hands, licking his bleeding hind leg, making a whining sound, as if he was acting like a baby.
