Chapter 6: Overturning Lan Yan Country (2)

Bai Luo rested for a while, then got up and walked around. Although it was the young boys who likes to play, since he is here, he is still very interested.

Picking up the bow and arrows on the side, Bai Luo chose a direction and walked straight. Seeing a water deer fawn, Bai Luo lightened his footsteps, readied the bow and arrow, drew the bowstring, hold his breath, and with only a xiu sound, the fawn fell down.

獐子: water deer

The fawn was shot by two arrows at the same time, and a figure appeared on the other side. Seeing Bai Luo, the figure frowned and said angrily: “Why are you here alone?”

Bai Luo feel baffled. The mountain is not this man’s, and he can still manage other people’s coming here or not. This person was so domineering.

Jimo Ge picked up the fawn and walked towards Bai Luo. When he was almost there, thinking of something, he covered the hand holding the fawn behind him.

Bai Luo didn’t care about the prey, he was just having fun. He didn’t care when he saw the man’s actions. He didn’t want to fight with the other, so Bai Luo turned and walked in another direction.

“Where are you going? Where are the people that followed you around?”

Bai Luo didn’t want to pay attention to this strange person. He didn’t expect that this person would come here against his wish.

Jimo Ge saw Bai Luo ignoring him and looked at Bai Luo’s back with frustration. He followed Bai Luo not too far away.

Arriving at the camping site, Jimo Lin saw Bai Luo and breathe a sigh of relief. He holds a snow-white little fox in his arms, only the ears and the tip of the tail were red, which looked exceptionally cute.

Couldn’t find one with red tips so here’s a pure white one.

“Bai Luo, look at the fox I caught for you. Do you like it? After recognizing the master, this kind of fox’s temperament is faithful and gentle. I will give it to you. If you don’t want to raise it, I’ll make a scarf for you.”

Bai Luo took it, and the little fox fawningly licked Bai Luo’s fingers.

Bai Luo touched the little fox’s back, and said lightly: “Keep it.” The little fox’s fur was soft and smooth, which made him love it. Bai Luo outwardly does not show any special likes, he felt that it was detrimental to his image, so no one knew that Bai Luo was actually a plush control.

When Jimo Lin saw that Bai Luo liked the little fox, he was happy. Then he saw Jimo Ge gradually approaching behind Bai Luo.

Jimo Lin stood in front of Bai Luo. In the academy, the relationship between the two seemed normal on the surface. In private, he and Jimo Ge had always been at odds with each other, faintly facing each other.

“What are you doing here?”

Jimo Ge put the fawn aside, made sure that Bai Luo couldn’t see it from his angle, and then said, “Is this the attitude that nephew should have when seeing shushu(1)?”

Jimo Lin is speechless, and a bit angry. Jimo Ge is only one year older than him, but he is his fuhuang(2)‘s younger brother. Wanting him to calls Jimo Ge uncle, acknowledging a generation younger. Sure enough, Jimo Ge made him feels the most hateful.

“Don’t even call xiao shushu?” Jimo Ge looked at Bai Luo, and saw that his mind was on the little fox in his arms. And Bai Luo didn’t even look at him out of the corner of his eyes, making him a little angry.

Jimo Lin gritted his teeth and said, “Xiao shushu.”

The others carried bows and arrows on their backs, more or less holding some prey in their hands. One dragged a sika deer, walked to Bai Luo. He deliberately fell to the ground, making a loud noise, and said loudly: “I hunted a Sika deer, and I felt sore when I drag it back. This one is very heavy, it’s enough for us to eat for several meals.”

Sika deer

Bai Luo was startled by the sudden noise, and the little fox jumped up with a squeak, almost scratching his hand. Jimo Ge crossed Jimo Lin, and was about to take the little fox back from Bai Luo’s arms.

Jimo Lin who was always on alert against the other, slapped away Jimo Ge’s outstretched hand, “What do you want to do? So many of us are here, don’t even think about bullying Bai Luo and plans to hurt him.”

When the people who came with Jimo Lin heard him, they gathered around and stood beside him.

A group of people came from over there. They saw Jimo Ge surrounded by people, and the atmosphere was not good, so they ran over quickly. Seeing Jimo Lin and the others, they were also a little surprised. They didn’t expect to meet Jimo Lin’s group here.

There was a faint flash of lightning between the two of them, and the grievances had been brewing for a long time. Although it was not a big deal, after all, they were young and energetic, and there was a backlog of dissatisfaction.

Bai Luo calmed down the little fox again, and when he looked up, he was a little surprised. How come there were so many people suddenly. Watching the people on both sides stand still, a bit like a prelude to a group fight.

Bai Luo walked to the place where the snacks were put. When he moved, the eyes on both sides moved to him, and they stopped staring at each other.

Bai Luo took out a snack and ate, “When will you roast the meat?”

The two looked at each other and backed down. Jimo Lin arranged the tasks, who was responsible for handling the prey, who was responsible for collecting firewood, and who was responsible for barbecue. Everyone was busy.

Jimo Ge saw this and looked for a place not far from them.

Bai Luo waited for Jimo Lin to arrange a task for him. Jimo Lin took Bai Luo to a well-supported stand. Bai Luo kept watch as Jimo Lin flipped the branches from time to time and turned the meat skewers on it.

Jimo Lin saw that Bai Luo was too bored, so he gave Bai Luo the branch in his hand and taught Bai Luo how to barbecue. Jimo Lin took the plate and chopsticks for him, cut them into slices, and placed them in Bai Luo’s plate with anticipation, “Try it.”

Bai Luo took a bite, his eyes narrowed, and a small smile appeared, “It’s delicious.”

Jimo Lin was dumbfounded. He had been accustomed to Bai Luo’s cold face, only then did he realized that Bai Luo looked better when he smiled. Like when the winter snow started melting, the gurgling brook brings joyful feeling.

Jimo Ge broke off the branch in his hand and threw it into the fire bitterly. He tasted the meat in his hand, threw it aside, and skewered a fresh piece of meat and grilled it carefully.

After both sides finished eating peacefully, everyone discussed. Since it is still early, then they will go hunt and bring back some preys.

Jimo Lin said that he is not reassured that Bai Luo was alone. So Bai Luo and Jimo Lin walked into the dense forest together. Bai Luo walked along the road and saw many herbs mentioned in the book. The shapes and structural features are very similar. Bai Luo became interested. The detailed knowledge that he became familiar with in the books will always bring new experience and understanding in the actual situation in reality; the difference in comprehension of the pure theoretical understanding of the past.

Bai Luo saw a plant that resembled a seven-leaf flower painted in a book. Bai Luo carefully observed its leaves and found that the shape of the leaf was very similar to the description in the book. Moreover, it really has seven leaves, and there is also a flower blooming on top.

七叶一枝花: Paris polyphylla

The two squatted in the grass, covered by branches and leaves. Bai Luo aimed at the right eye of the antelope. When he shot the arrow, a rabbit alarmed the antelope. As soon as the antelope raised its head, the arrow went off and shot to the right foreleg. The antelope called out and ran away.

“Its front leg is hurt, it can’t run far. Let’s chase it.” Jimo Lin and Bai Luo followed the direction of the antelope running and chased it. No one wanted to unexpectedly give up what they were about to get.

The antelope ran away in a panic, and the wound got bigger and bigger. It knelt down on the ground and stopped.

Bai Luo and Jimo Lin looked at the blood on the road and accelerated their pace. Jimo Lin shot out an arrow, and the two dragged their prey back.

“The smell of blood is too great, we must leave here as soon as possible and return to the place where we camped.”

Bai Luo nodded.

Jimo Lin looked at Bai Luo’s expression, his face that was originally white as jade flushed from the running just now, like a cloud dyed with rouge. It was really pretty. Jimo Lin swallowed his saliva and said, “Bai Luo, rest assured. Even if there is danger, I will protect you. As long as I am there, I will not let you get hurt. Even if the wealthy wolf, tiger, leopard is here(3), I am not afraid.”

Pure white jade

He is not a weak girl. Bai Luo disagrees with Jimo Lin’s words, but nods casually.

They followed the antelope off the road just now, and there was only a narrow trace, indicating the usual footprints of hunters. Hearing what seemed to be the howling sound of a wolf not far away, Bai Luo had to lament Jimo Lin’s crow mouth.

Jimo Lin also discovered the danger. He threw the antelope in his hand, took out the dagger, and Bai Luo watched, preparing to leave this area slowly without disturbing the wolf.

A wolf slowly paced closer to them, apparently having found its prey.

The only good news is that there is only one wolf, not a pack of wolves.

“This should be a lone wolf driven out by the wolves. In a moment I will give the signal,” Jimo Lin grasped Bai Luo’s hand, “As long as we persist until someone comes, we will be fine.”

Bai Luo stared at the wolf’s every move, and squeezed the knife in his hand. The two sides evaluated each other’s strength, and no one moved first.

This should be an old wolf who was driven out of the group, barring his teeth and salivating. The bloody smell nearby stimulated the wolf’s sense of smell, and it gradually became impatient. At the moment when the wolf jumped up, Bai Luo’s arrow shot out and hit the bottom of its neck, making the stimulated wolf even more angry.

When the wolf pounced, the two rolled in opposite directions twice. The wolf aimed at Bai Luo’s direction. Bai Luo observed the weakness on its body. And while he leaped again and avoided sideways, he moved toward its neck and made a big cut on it.

The wolf looked at Bai Luo with green eyes. It was wounded on the body by Bai Luo both times. It hated him so much that it disregarded the knife Bai Luo pierced on its back, and moved to bite Bai Luo. When Bai Luo retreated, he was tripped by a tree vine and fell down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the wolf pounced on Bai Luo and was about to bite off Bai Luo’s neck.

Jimo Lin took advantage of this gap and cut open the arteries of the wolf’s neck with a dagger, blocking the wolf’s mouth from touching Bai Luo with one hand.

Bai Luo heard Jimo Lin’s muffled groan, and pushed the dying wolf aside. He saw that Jimo Lin’s left arm was red, and blood was constantly pouring out.

Bai Luo ripped open his clothes with a dagger, wrapped it around the wound, and called Jimo Lin’s name.

Jimo Lin rested his head on Bai Luo’s lap, “I’m fine, but it really hurts. Fortunately, you are fine.”

“Don’t speak, keep your strength.” After bandaging the wound, Bai Luo looked around, “I just saw xiao ji and di yu on the road. I’ll go pick some, don’t move.” Bai Luo put the dagger on Jimo Lin’s right hand.
