Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Night in the Mountains
After discussing the results, the group took their bows and arrows and began to walk towards the dense forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the past few days in the forest, Zuo Shi Ling'er has been protected by his brother, so he has not encountered any danger, and Qing Yao is under the protection of Qi Guan Junyao, and there is no major problem.
When several people followed the traces of their prey, Qing Yao suddenly discovered that among this group of people, the most powerful person was actually the gentle and elegant official Jun Yao.
The other party casually looked at the footprints on the ground and the broken branches around it, and could guess what kind of animal it was, and how long it had been since it had been here.
Just as Qing Yao sighed that this son of the family actually had this skill, the other party suddenly raised his hand and made a silent gesture to a few people behind him.
Qing Yao followed the other party's guidance and looked, and on the edge of a small hut, a few wild boars, a few deer, and various birds and birds were drinking water.
"You two are waiting here, don't come out. ā
After arranging a guard to protect the safety of Qing Yao and Zuo Shi Ling'er, the official Jun Yao explained to the two in a low voice.
Qing Yao bowed slightly, signaling that she understood.
Zuo Shiling'er covered the corners of her mouth, chuckled and nodded.
When the two people here were arranged, the other three began to move.
I saw Zuo Shi Ruihao and Qi Guan Junyao picking up a bow and arrow respectively.
"Whew......"
Before Qing Yao could see the movements of the two clearly, a deer that was drinking water by the lake was directly shot by two sharp arrows.
The other animals on the lake fled in their place, leaving only one immobile fawn in its place.
"Brother, you are so cruel. ā
Zuo Shiling'er looked at the deer who died after moving twice on the ground, and frowned at the two people who shot arrows.
Zuo Shi Ruihao stretched out his hand and patted his young sister's head, and said jokingly: "Okay, you won't eat meat at night." ā
"Don't ......," Zuo Shiling retorted with a pout.
"Don't make a fuss, go back now. ā
Qi Guan Junyao reminded softly.
Then the group hunted a few more pheasants and quickly returned to the rest point.
This is not the time for mushrooms to grow in abundance, but it is not difficult to find them in the middle of the mountains and forests.
Qing Yao collected a few mushrooms and wild vegetables she knew along the way, and looking at her harvest, she had to feel that the resources between the mountains and forests were abundant. However, the only drawback is that you have to go deep into the mountains and forests, which is too dangerous.
By the time Caixia appeared on the horizon, several people had already lit a bonfire and started preparing dinner.
Due to the tools, several people could only barbecue all the prey.
When Qing Yao saw that the guards were about to string pheasants on the branches, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she stopped her: "Can you give me one, I want to try." ā
She always remembered the roast chicken made by Aunt Xiulan when she went into the mountain a few days ago.
When the guards saw her request, they naturally did not object. So, after handing the pheasant to her to deal with, he turned around and went to deal with the fawn.
"Sister Qingyao, what are you doing?"
Zuo Shi Ling'er watched her movements curiously.
Qing Yao raised her eyes to look at her, and replied with a chuckle, "I just want to practice my hands." ā
"Do you want to grill your own?"
"yes. ā
"Then I'll do it myself. ā
Zuo Shiling'er has never made food by herself, but she thinks it is very simple, and she wants to try it on a whim.
Hearing this, Zuo Shi Ruihao glanced at the guards beside him.
The guards understood, and skewered the processed pheasants on a branch and set them on the fire in front of them.
"Is that so?"
Zuo Shi Ling'er flipped the branches of the tree and looked at the others happily and asked.
Qing Yao saw the other party's decent movements, smiled and nodded.
"That's it, you remember to flip it at any time, don't burn it. ā
"Okay, I got it. Zuo Shiling'er replied and began to stare at the pheasant in his hand.
Qing Yao looked at Zuo Shi Ling'er, who was enjoying herself, chuckled and shook her head, and began to concentrate on handling the prey in her hands.
She stuffed the pheasant's belly with mushrooms and wild vegetables she had gathered, sprinkled it with a lot of spices, and set it on the fire to roast slowly.
Then she turned around and skewered the venison and wild herbs and mushrooms onto the processed branches.
Zuo Shi Ling'er noticed her movements and slowly turned her gaze.
"Sister Qingyao, do you want to roast mushrooms?"
"Yes, do you want to try it?" Qing Yao replied softly, but the movements in her hands did not stop.
"Okay. ā
Zuo Shiling'er no longer cared about the pheasant on the fire, picked up a bunch of mushrooms and began to burn them back and forth on the fire.
Qing Yao saw her like this, so she let her play.
There was enough prey harvested today, and even a little waste would not be in the way.
"Ling'er, let's try this. ā
Zuo Shi Ruihao handed the baked bird eggs to the young sister.
"Thank you, brother. Zuo Shiling'er was used to the small snacks that his brother had given him in the past few days, so after smiling, he took the bird's egg that had been peeled.
Qing Yao looked at the interaction between the two over there, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly withdrew her gaze.
At this moment, Qi Guan Junyao slowly sat down beside her and handed over the items in his hand.
"Come, taste it too. ā
Qing Yao looked back and saw that the other party had a few baked bird eggs in his hand.
Seeing this, she looked at the person who was talking gently to her in surprise.
"What am I doing? ā
Seeing that she was stunned, a light smile flashed in her eyes, and she directly put the bird egg in her hand into the other party's hand.
"Thank you. ā
Qing Yao slowly clenched her hands and lowered her eyes to thank you.
"You're welcome. ā
Qi Guan Junyao glanced at the other party deeply, and slowly got up and returned to his original position.
Qing Yao felt the movement of the person next to her leaving, and a trace of warmth crossed her heart.
"Maybe ...... later"
She didn't know what she was expecting, but the thought in her head lingered for a long time.
"Sister Qingyao, do you think this one of mine is cooked?"
Just as she lowered her eyes and pondered, Zuo Shi Ling'er suddenly handed a bunch of blackened mushrooms to her.
She took a closer look at the dark mushroom string and nodded slightly.
"It's okay, it's going to be scorched in a little while. ā
After getting her answer, Zuo Shi Ling'er happily turned around and went to share her roasted mushrooms with her brother.
"Brother, try it. ā
Zuo Shi Ruihao looked at the young sister's expectant eyes, so he had to chuckle and shake his head, and tasted the roasted mushroom.
Qing Yao watched Zuo Shi Ruihao eat the black mushroom without changing his face, and at the same time, a chuckle flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, there was a trace of envy.
In this long time, she also summed up why she got along so well with these people. The reason is that although several people are children of a family, they are not arrogant at all.
Among the children of the family, there are many people who have no one in their eyes because of their identity. Fortunately, the people she met were indescribably noble, but they were approachable.
