Chapter 16: The First Climb to the Mountain

When the morning breeze was hunting, and when the sky was still bright, Huiya had already put on the coarse cloth clothes made by herself, and followed Dong Da and Dong Taoshu, the two fathers and sons, and walked on the path up the mountain.

Hui Ya was holding a pair of small bows and arrows in her hand, this bow and arrow was used by Dong Taoshu when he was seven or eight years old, although it was not a strong bow and a hard crossbow, but it was also carefully polished, and it was quite heavy in Hui Ya's hand.

"Miss Huiya, this is where I hunt and put down my sleeve on weekdays." Dong Da led Hui Ya to a small forest, and said to Hui Ya, I don't know if he is used to talking to a young lady from a big family like Hui Ya, or what, his voice was slightly tight when he spoke, which was completely different from his usual tone.

"This is it?" Huiya opened her eyes wide and looked around, this forest was not tall or dense at all, and the number of trees in the forest was basically the thickness of a bowl, obviously a new forest.

Although the grass grew of different heights, it was not luxuriant, and although Huiya had never hunted, it did not look like a place where pheasants, rabbits, or large prey could be found in the woods.

"Well, this is it!" Dong Da's expression was a little unnatural, but he still nodded, and asked his son to escort Huiya to walk, while he strode into the depths of the forest.

Although Hui Ya didn't quite understand the reason for Dong Da's behavior at this time, she also knew that she should not be able to enter the place where Dong Da often hunted on weekdays.

But after thinking about it, Huiya was relieved, this was the first time she had gone up the mountain, let alone hunting, even if she couldn't draw a bow and shoot arrows. If you encounter a big beast, let alone yourself, I'm afraid that even Dong Da and his son will be unable to get out of the whole body, in this case, it is better to honestly go around the periphery and learn the skills.

"Uncle Dong, can you teach me how to use a bow and arrow?" Hui Ya looked at Dong Da's back and said in a crisp voice with a small face. If you want to leave this Dongjia Village and leave this rolling mountain steadily, you will definitely not be able to defend yourself without the ability to defend yourself.

But Huiya has been a qualified boudoir woman for the past 20 years, although she has experienced ups and downs, but after entering Beijing, she will not go out of the door, not to mention what kind of self-defense skills, even walking a few more steps have to be supported.

"With a bow and arrows?" When Dong Da heard Huiya's words, he stopped taking a step forward. I let Huiya hold the bow and arrow, I thought it was fun for the girl's family, and I just gave it to her as a toy, where did I think she was really interested in learning!

"What kind of bow and arrow do you want to use for a girl, look at my hands, you have to pull the bowstring with a bow and arrow, and you have to leave so many calluses on your fingers, can you endure this hardship!" Before Dong Da could speak, Dong Taoshu took the lead in talking about it, not just talking, but also stretched out his hands and showed Huiya the cocoons in his mouth, fingers and stomachs.

"Look at it, the peach blossoms feel that they are not beautiful with cocoons, and they refuse to use bows and arrows, you are a young lady from a big family, and you still want to learn this?" Dong Taoshu raised his head slightly when he said this, and looked down at Hui Ya obliquely, his arrogant expression was like a little rooster.

"I'm learning, isn't it just a cocoon, I'm not afraid!" Huiya said word by word with a small face.

Indeed, it's just some cocoons, the hands and feet are thicker, and there are some calluses on them, so what can I do! Can it be worse than losing your life? Can it be worse than being left behind and not being able to return home? It's worse than the death of my mother and brother, and I ended up in a violent corpse wilderness?

No, definitely not! So what else is there to be afraid of!

"You, you're not afraid!" Dong Taoshu was originally ready to see this Jiaojiao lady being frightened, and then crying nose, her own sister Peach Blossom was like this, she flinched when she saw the cocoon on her hand, and refused to learn a bow and arrow at all.

"Don't be afraid!" Hui Ya raised the small bow and arrow in her hand, and said with her chest held high. The morning sun shone through the clouds and the canopy of the trees, covering Huiya's head and face in a golden yellow, and the proud little man looked so lively and moving.

"Okay, Miss Huiya wants to learn, I'll teach you!" Dong Da laughed, feeling that this young lady from a rich family was actually stronger than the daughter of her own village aunt, and admired Huiya's temperament very much, so she nodded and agreed.

But today's task is not to learn bows and arrows, but to go up the mountain to hunt, after Dong laughed, he explored the surrounding situation, and found no trace of large beasts, so he relieved Dong Taoshu to take Huiya to look at the traps and pick mushrooms in the forest.

"Do you know mushrooms? There are a lot of wild mushrooms in this mountain, so we can pick some mushrooms and eat them. Dong Taoshu originally didn't have a good impression of Miss Huiya, but looking at her full of momentum just now, she didn't seem to be like her own sister's squeamish and point-biting person, and she spoke with some kindness.

"I don't know much about mushrooms...... Hui Ya looked left and right, but she didn't see any mushrooms anywhere, and thought that in the past few years, except for fried mushrooms, she hadn't even seen fresh mushrooms a few times, let alone picked mushrooms.

"Then I'll teach you!" Dong Taoshu couldn't help blurting out these words when he saw Huiya's serious appearance. When he said it, he regretted it a little, Huiya is a young lady from a big family, where can she teach her to pick mushrooms.

"Okay!" Hui Ya was worried that her life skills were in a mess, and when she heard Dong Taoshu's words, she was busy responding.

"Okay, then I'll teach you how to pick mushrooms!" It feels good to be taken seriously, Dong Taoshu smiled on his face, untied the sack from his waist, and revealed two small tiger teeth, "Let's go, there are pine trees over there, let's go over there to pick mushrooms!" ”

When the two children walked in the direction of the pine forest with great interest, there was a sudden exclamation from Dong Da in the distance, and before Huiya could react, she heard the sound of bows and arrows flying out of the air, and then the sound of the grass being washed away.

"Get out of the way!" Dong Da's panicked and eager voice came from a distance, and although the sound was fast, the rampant thing in the grass rushed faster. Dong Da shot an arrow with a bow and tried to kill the wild boar before it rushed over, but found that the wild boar ran too close to the children, and accidentally the arrow could not hit the wild boar but would hurt people.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Dong Taoshu and Huiya. The grass was arched open by a chubby thing, revealing a black face with fangs.

"Wild boar!" Dong Taoshu's voice also panicked, wild boars are not uncommon in the mountains, if the good hand of the hunter sees the wild boar, he will naturally be full of joy, but now facing the wild boar is a young lady from a big family who has no strength at all, what can I do?!

Huiya looked at the half-sized boar and the gloomy white fangs, and felt that her whole body was stiff.
