After resting in the barracks for the night, after getting up the next morning, Meng Tian went out of the camp, the sky was not completely bright, it looked gray, and the weather should not be very good today. Not long after, Zi Yanran also walked out of the camp tent arranged for herself last night, and after the two washed together, they went to say goodbye to Zhao Li and Du Hui, and then rode into the mountain.

The peak of Lishan is not high, and the mountain is relatively flat, because of the existence of the palace of the king of Qin, so a wide mountain road was built to reach the entrance of the palace, and the route of Meng Tian and Zi Yanran into the mountain is through this mountain road that goes directly to the palace and then turns to the trail halfway to enter the mountain area of Lishan for hunting.

After riding horses on the main road for half an hour, Meng Tian and Zi Yanran turned to the path and began to enter the mountains. At this time, it was just dawn, the sun was hiding behind the clouds, and it was close to late autumn, so there was a cold mountain breeze hanging in the mountains. Meng Tian and Zi Yanran rode horses and galloped in the mountains and forests, waking up the prey that had not yet woken up from their dreams, so from time to time there were a few pheasants and hares in the mountains and forests that fled in a panic, and disappeared again before anyone could find them.

Zi Yanran saw that there were some pheasants and hares in Lishan, and complained to Meng Tian: "Didn't you say that there are tigers and leopards in the paddock of Lishan? ”

Meng Tian took out a map from the bag where he put things in the saddle, which Zhao Li gave to Meng Tian before the two of them left, and gave them two directions. When Meng Tian opened the map completely, he found that in addition to some conspicuous geographical locations and a few places where large beasts were infested, there was also a place marked with red ink with two words written on it: 'forbidden land'. Meng Tian didn't know what was in this 'forbidden land', and Zhao Li didn't tell him when he left, maybe Zhao Li hadn't seen this map, and this map might have been left by the previous army that Meng Jiajun had taken over from the garrison.

Meng Tian didn't care about the 'forbidden land', looked at the place where the large beast was infested, then looked around to determine his position on the map, and said to Zi Yanran: "If we go about ten miles further, there will be a place where wild boars are located. Tigers and leopards are usually not released in the enclosure, for fear of accidentally injuring civilians who go into the mountains to cut wood or look for herbs, these beasts are locked up in the animal prison in the palace, and they will not be released until the spring when the king comes out to hunt. So this time I'll take you here to hunt a few wild boars or some wild goats, and we won't be able to take them with you too much. ”

Hearing Meng Tian say that there was no prey she wanted to hunt in Lishan now, Zi Yanran had to say in frustration: "Okay, it's really comfortable to move my muscles and bones, my mother didn't let me do anything at home, but just took me to visit the homes of those big officials in Xianyang City, which made my head a little big at the end of the day." ”

Meng Tian said: "If you don't like to follow your mother to the door, just tell your mother, mother won't mind, because she also came over at your age." ”

Zi Yanran shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't like it, my mother also told me that now she will take me to the house of the minister of the Qin State who is more familiar with it, this is also for your own good, if you go out to fight in the future, if I am bored at home, I can go out by myself." ”

"That's right, my mother has always had her reasons for doing things, otherwise the family would not have been managed so well by my mother, even my grandfather and father couldn't find fault with it, it seems that you can help your mother with housework at home in the future." Meng Tian said with a smile.

Zi Yanran didn't speak, but just slapped the horse's buttocks with the horsewhip in her hand, and the horse under the seat ran out vigorously, and Meng Tian had to catch up quickly. The two rode their horses and continued to move forward, and when they were about to reach the place where the wild boars were infested, Meng Tian reminded Zi Yanran to ride the horse slowly, so as not to disturb the wild boar herd, otherwise the two of them would have to run away before the prey hit.

Meng Tian dismounted, tied the black wind to the tree, and then motioned for Zi Yanran to get off the horse as well, and the two of them carried bows and arrows on their backs and weapons at their waists, and marched forward on foot. The two of them walked not far away, Meng Tian seemed to hear something, and made a silent cleanup to Zi Yanran, Zi Yanran bent down and stood still, looking at Meng Tian. Meng Tian walked slowly, carefully looking around, and finally saw a wild boar under a tree stump not far away.

This wild boar is not very large, it seems that it should be a small wild boar that has just become an adult, although it is said to be a small wild boar, but the attack power is still not to be underestimated, especially wild boars generally live together in a group, then there will definitely be other wild boars nearby.

Meng Tian beckoned to Zi Yanran and asked her to come over. After receiving Meng Tian's instructions, Zi Yanran bent down and slowly approached Meng Tian, and after seeing the little wild boar lying under the stump, Zi Yanran took out the curved bow from her back, and then took out a bow and arrow from the quiver behind her back and put it on the string, aiming at the wild boar to shoot.

Just as she shot the arrow, Meng Tian blocked it, "There must be other of the same kind of boar nearby, you wait for me here now, I'll go to the tree to see if there are any other wild boars around." Zi Yanran nodded, Meng Tian took a few steps back, and in order not to disturb the wild boar, he deliberately chose a tree that was a little farther away. When he came to the tree, Meng Tian exerted his legs on the ground, jumped hard, grabbed a branch, and then jumped with his strength and stood firmly on the branch. Standing on the tree, Meng Tian looked around carefully, and did not find any other wild boars nearby, thinking that the wild boar below should have sneaked out last night, and did not find a route back to the nest, so he fell asleep under the stump.

Meng Tian jumped lightly from the tree and walked next to Zi Yanran, telling her that there were no other wild boars around and that she could shoot arrows at it. After hearing Meng Tian say that there were no other wild boars around, Zi Yanran wound up the arrow, aimed at the boar's eyes, and shot the arrow, and the whole action was done in one go.

The arrow hit the boar's eye, and it scurried all over the ground, in order to prevent it from attracting other boars, Meng Tian also shot an arrow, which hit the boar's ear, and the arrow passed through the skull, and the boar struggled a few times before falling to the ground.

Zi Yanran stood up and ran over, kicked the boar that had fallen to the ground with her foot, made sure it was really out of breath, and then beckoned to Meng Tian to come over quickly. Meng Tian walked over, put the bow on his back, and said, "Today we are lucky, we met this little wild boar that may get lost, otherwise there will be trouble." ”

Zi Yanran agreed with Meng Tian's statement, but there was still trouble, she asked Meng Tian: "But how can we take it away, this wild boar looks like it weighs hundreds of pounds, we can't kill it and can't take it away." ”

Meng Tian thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessary, it's just that the method is a bit bloody, I think you better go and lead the horse first, I'll get rid of it, and then hang it on the horse and take it away." ”

Zi Yanran didn't understand what Meng Tian was going to do, and asked, "How are you going to solve it?"

"It's very simple, can't you take it away by dividing it into several portions? There is a bag of prey in the bag on the horse, you go and get it, and I will divide this wild boar into portions and put it in the bag. ”

Zi Yanran thought about that picture for a while, and felt a little cruel, so she went back to lead the horse, leaving Meng Tian to deal with the wild boar by herself.

By the time Zi Yanran led the horse back here, Meng Tian had already divided the wild boar into six parts, namely four legs, a body and a boar's head. Meng Tian said to Zi Yanran: "We can't take all this wild boar, I plan to take away his legs and body, as for the pig's head and its internal organs, bury them in the ground and use them as fertilizer, what do you think?"

Zi Yanran nodded and said, "Anyway, we came out to hunt just for fun, I don't care about the amount of prey, you can do whatever you want." ”

After dealing with the wild boar, Meng Tian and Zi Yanran rode on their horses and continued to move forward, but the weather became more and more bad, and it began to drizzle, Meng Tian was afraid that the rain would get stronger and stronger, and proposed to find a place to shelter from the rain, so the two rode their horses and drove towards a camp with troops marked on the map.
