Chapter 62 A Little Try

Xiao Wanyao entered the tent and found that the facilities inside were very simple, but simple did not mean simple. The wooden tables and chairs are not new, nor are they high-end wood, but the lacquer on them has been polished and shiny, and it seems that it has been used for many years, and there is no bed in the tent, only a soft collapse, and a soft velvet blanket is covered on it, and it looks like it should be very comfortable to sleep on.

Although the area inside the tent is not large, it is only enough for daily rest, but this is enough for Xiao Wanyao, it is far away from the main tent, and there are not many people coming and going, living between mountains and rivers, the environment is still quiet, which is in line with Xiao Wanyao's taste.

Thinking about it, only Xue Tianao knew that what she cared about was not material, so he took great pains to let her move here.

Licorice came over with a plate of snacks, and suddenly Xiao Wanyao felt that the tent was full of milk, and the morning rush made her a little hungry, and at this moment she smelled the sweet smell of milk, which couldn't help but arouse her appetite.

"Licorice, what did you bring in?" Xiao Wanyao took two more mouthfuls of the aroma, which made her want to eat it even more.

"It's the milk tea that the saint gave to every adult, it was just brewed, and it was made with brick tea from the northwest and local milk, and it was brewed together." Licorice replied, "There are some small snacks, including steamed glutinous rice cakes with sugar brought by the slave maid in the morning, and crystal winter melon and shrimp dumplings that are rewarded by the saints...... Second Miss, come over and try it. ”

Xiao Wanyao swallowed her saliva, sat down, picked up a crystal winter melon and shrimp dumpling and put it in her mouth, and the moment she bit the dumpling skin, the crispy elasticity of the shrimp burst out in her mouth with the freshness of the soup.

Xiao Wanyao is not greedy on weekdays, but she is obviously hungry along the way, and she feels fragrant when she eats at the moment.

After the three crystal shrimp dumplings were in her stomach, Xiao Wanyao felt that her hunger had subsided, and she began to eat glutinous rice cakes calmly.

"Licorice, is this dumpling also a gift from the Holy God to everyone?" Xiao Wanyao asked.

"As far as the slave maid knows, no, this plate of shrimp dumplings was brought by Gonggong Li, and he said that it was rewarded by the saints......" Licorice replied obediently.

Xiao Wanyao nodded, pointed to the plate of shrimp dumplings to licorice, and said, "You send this to your uncle, Shuxian must like to eat it...... Take it now! ”

Licorice held the shrimp dumplings and said with a smile: "The second lady loves the little master the most, the slave will send it, and you can drink the milk tea while it's hot!" ”

Xiao Wanyao tasted the milk tea in the cup, the milk flavor was soft in the mouth, and the tea flavor was bitter with a faint fragrance, the combination of the two tasted wonderful, and the aftertaste was also long.

Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but take a few more sips, this kind of tea is not different from the tea produced in Jiangnan, which is unique to the northern border of Wei, sunlight, wind and sand can forge this taste, people who don't understand it can only taste its bitterness and roughness, but those who understand it will taste its unique aroma.

Xiao Wanyao was glad that she still understood it, and this taste was also in line with her taste.

In her opinion, she doesn't feel how bitter food everyone says in the world, maybe it's the taste buds of people who have tasted the suffering of the world, and they don't feel that there is anything to live a bitter life, right!?

Fortunately, after the bitterness is over, it is Ganlai.

After the lunch break, Xiao Wanyao changed into a light outfit, according to the schedule, it was not difficult for Xiao Wanyao to lose some small animals such as rabbits or pheasants hunting nearby this afternoon, so she had already discussed with Tang Siqi before, and took her today.

Tang Siqi naturally readily agreed, there was no riding and archery in this afternoon's event, so it was not difficult for Xiao Wanyao.

The time was just right, and when Xiao Wanyao came, everyone had basically arrived.

"The forest in front of me is not big, and there has never been a prey infested with fierce beasts, but the prey is mainly hares, pheasants and other agile animals, you Aiqing and the widow go in together, let's play a small game, for two hours, whoever catches more prey in the forest, who is the winner, the widow must have a reward at the banquet in the evening!" Tang Siqi stood in front of the forest and said, and at the same time said to Xiao Wanyao: "Wanyao, you are a girl, so after you go in, you will do what you can, and you don't care about gains and losses." ”

Xue Tianao sneered, and said disdainfully: "The saint is going to be partial again, that girl will either not come, or if she wants to come, she will compete together, why are she still so squeamish when she comes out?" It's better to go back to the palace as soon as possible and let the eunuchs and palace maids wait! ”

Tang Siqi just wanted to blame Xue Tianao, but was preempted by Xiao Wanyao: "Xue Gongzi is really lenient, okay, Wanyao participates in this game, but I only compete with you Xue Gongzi, compare the number of prey, do you dare?" ”

Xue Tianao raised his head and didn't bother to look at her at all, and said confidently: "Hunting is not as good as embroidery, girl, don't be arrogant, I'm going to win, you have to do whatever I say." ”

Xiao Wanyao sneered: "Then Xue Gongzi is the same, if you lose, you have to listen to me." ”

Tang Siqi actually likes to see Xue Tianao and Xiao Wanyao quarrel from the bottom of his heart, which shows that Xue Tianao, who holds a grudge, still hasn't forgiven Xiao Wanyao, this is the best, the marriage contract between them is the biggest hidden danger in Tang Siqi's heart, as long as they are not interested in each other, it is the best.

So this situation will only make Tang Siqi happier, so let them compare!

"Ahem......" Tang Siqi cleared his throat and said: "Without further ado, let's set off, there is no distinction between kings and ministers in the face of prey today, and you don't have to be polite to the widow when hunting." ”

After everyone responded to Tang Siqi's call, they followed Tang Siqi into the forest one after another.

Xiao Wanyao guessed what Xue Tianao wanted to do, and she had her own plans, besides, she grew up in the countryside since she was a child, maybe she couldn't do it by hunting wild boars, but hunting rabbits and deer or something still didn't make it difficult for her, life was hard at that time, her aunt would not prepare meat for her to eat, and even he couldn't eat enough every day, but she had to go to the mountains to collect firewood and do all kinds of hard work.

At that time, she learned how to make a slingshot with some children playing in the countryside, and if she was hungry when collecting firewood, she would go to the forest to hit rabbits with a slingshot, and often found nothing at first, but after a long time, she knew the rules, Xiao Wanyao could only try luck at the beginning to almost hit every chance later, which took her ten years.

Xiao Wanyao walked lightly in the forest, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and a short knife pinned to her waist, these were naturally asked by Xiao Wanyao to Tang Siqi, Tang Siqi was not stingy, and gave her these equipment happily.

Although it was the first time to use a bow and arrow, fortunately, the principle was similar to that of using a slingshot, which was not too difficult for Xiao Wanyao.

After observing the terrain, Xiao Wanyao saw a rabbit in the grass from a distance, she was not far from the rabbit at this time, so she held her breath and took a step forward, and then put the arrow on the bow, aimed at the rabbit and shot it decisively.

One Arrow Hit!

Xiao Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief, although counting her previous life, she hadn't hunted for fifteen years, and her current body was still less than nineteen years old, so hunting was not unfamiliar to her!

Because each person's arrows have special markings, she doesn't need to pick up the prey she hits, and after a while, a guard will come in and clear the field and take all the prey out to count.

Xiao Wanyao got a "good start", so she was in a good mood and her self-confidence improved a lot, and then she hunted seven or eight rabbits in one go.

Although Xiao Wanyao doesn't know martial arts, her body is much stronger than the average lady, and life has forced her to learn a lot of skills, such as hunting rabbits with a slingshot, these skills that ordinary women don't know Xiao Wanyao has learned, not that she is much smarter than others, at least there are many people who are smarter than her, but because she is willing to work harder than others, not just with the so-called "talent".

Only then did Xiao Wanyao feel that she was already sweating, so she could only stop and take out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

As soon as she stopped, she felt a little tired and a little thirsty, she vaguely remembered that the map marked a small stream near here, so she began to search for it from memory, fortunately her memory was accurate, and soon she saw the "stream" in the forest.

Xiao Wanyao saw that the so-called "stream" in front of her was at least as wide as two or more people, and when she stepped forward, she also found that the depth was more than three feet, and in Xiao Wanyao's eyes, it was already a small river.

Fortunately, the river water was clear, Xiao Wanyao squatted by the river and washed her hands, and then picked it up and took a sip, the river water was clear, which suddenly relieved Xiao Wanyao's thirst a lot.

"I don't know what happened to Xue Tianao's side?" Xiao Wanyao was still thinking about this matter in her heart, but suddenly heard a male voice around her.

"Xue Tianao is already ahead of you, you still have the heart to stay here." The voice was low and lazy, with some casualness, which Xiao Wanyao had never heard before.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, which made Xiao Wanyao quickly sober up, although the paddock was safe, but the person behind him exuded a dangerous aura.

When she looked back, she saw a tall man carrying a number of hunted rabbits in each of his hands. Xiao Wanyao was relieved, thinking that this man was a guard who came to sort the prey, so she walked over and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Miss Xiao Er misunderstood, right!?" The man raised his head, his wheat-colored complexion looked particularly good in the sun, his facial features were straight, although he was not handsome, but he was full of heroism, such a man should not be a small role like a guard.

Xiao Wanyao was stunned for a moment, looked back at him carefully, she felt familiar, but very unfamiliar, in her memory, she had not seen many men, his appearance belonged to the kind of unforgettable, but why she just couldn't remember.

"Who are you?" Xiao Wanyao finally decided to ask clearly, since she came for her, she must have her own purpose.

"I'm here to bring you prey." The man showed his neat and beautiful teeth and smiled, "Otherwise, you won't be able to win against Xue Tianao." ”R1154
