P.S. bow and thank longnengneng book friends for the tip, you are the first fan of "The Lady of the Market" again! It's good to have you! Thank you!
In addition, there is something to do outside tomorrow, and I can't access the Internet, so I have two shifts today!
-----------------------------------------------
In mid-June, the weather was already starting to get hot, and Shujie had to take a bath when he came back from delivering tofu in the morning. The bathroom of the Xia family is at the back of the kitchen, and there are two doors that can be entered from the back door or from the kitchen, and this door connected to the kitchen is mainly for easy access to hot water. Of course, the door is locked on the bathroom side.
As soon as Shujie came back today, he was pestered by Shuyao: "Big brother, take me to Jiuling Mountain to have a look, and you can take a bath when you come back." ”
Yulin County is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains, among which Jiuling Mountain has the most wild things, which is a good place for hunting, Shujie has been to Xia Linxuan a few times. But there are many fierce beasts on the mountain, a few months ago, Xia Linxuan had an accident on Jiuling Mountain, and when he was found to be carrying it back, his flesh and blood were blurred, there was no good meat on his body, and his face was not clear, only the carrying purse that fell not far from the corpse and a string of sandalwood bracelets that Donnie Yen personally asked for back showed his identity.
Shu Yao has always wanted to try to see if he can catch prey with the living creature of the mahogany box, and Shu Jie said that he would go when it was hot and he didn't have to wear so heavy. When I got up this morning, Shu Yao suddenly remembered this and was waiting for Shu Jie.
Shujie saw that his sister was so eager, and he also wanted to see the magical function of the mahogany box, so he nodded in agreement.
It just so happened that Ajuan's sister-in-law came to work, and she and her daughter-in-law took shifts in the morning, one went to the market with Aunt Mei to set up a stall, and the other received guests who came to the house to pick up the goods in the courtyard of the Xia family. Today happens to be Sun's daughter-in-law going to the market, and Ajuan's sister-in-law stays at home. Shujie entrusted Shuwen and Xiutao to Sister-in-law Ajuan, took his bow and arrows, and took Shuyao out.
The brother and sister rented a carriage on Front Street, and the car dealer took about two quarters of an hour to arrive at the foot of Jiuling Mountain.
Let the coachman wait at the bottom of the mountain, and the brother and sister went up the mountain.
Shujie wanted to endorse Shu Yao, but Shu Yao refused, she also wanted to exercise more. What's more, now they eat and drink food and water that have enriched their spirits every day, and their physical strength and spirit are very good.
The two went up the mountain, and as soon as they entered the mountain forest, they saw two rabbits running fast in front of them, Shu Yao's consciousness moved, and the rabbits entered the mahogany box. Shujie was curious: "Yao'er, quick, let me go in and have a look." ”
Shu Yao was amused by the eldest brother's childishness, and hurriedly sent him in, and followed him in.
Interestingly, the two rabbits, who were still running fast just now, are nesting quietly in the corner at the moment, and they can easily pick them up without chasing.
Shu Yao was stunned: "Aren't you scared stupid?" ”
Shujie smiled: "No, it's like a domestic rabbit, and I just want to raise it for you to play with when I go back." I wonder if a wild thing with a bigger road will become so well-behaved when it comes in? Yao'er, let's hurry up and try it. ”
The two of them were lucky, and after walking a short distance, they saw a wild boar, and the wild boar was about to rush towards them, and it was taken into a box.
This time, Shu Yao didn't dare to rush the eldest brother in, he observed for a long time, and saw the wild boar nesting quietly on the other side like a rabbit, which made the curious eldest brother enter, and he was still worried about it, ready to get the eldest brother out as soon as something was wrong.
Shujie came out again this time and was more interested, and he was full of hope to see a more ferocious one.
At this time, Shu Yao was attracted by a small fiery red fox under the bush opposite, and Shu Jie followed his sister's gaze and was instantly petrified.
The fiery red little fox is only the size of a puppy, with a fluffy and soft tail, a pointed nose and a small mouth, and a pair of clever eyes that are turning very cute at the moment.
"Yao'er, quick, put it in", Shujie exclaimed excitedly, as if he was afraid of scaring the little fox away.
Unexpectedly, the little fox "squeaked", raised his little chin, glanced at Shu Jie with an arrogant face, and his humanized actions made Shu Yao happy: "Big brother, it despises you." ”
Shujie touched his nose depressedly, yes, he also clearly saw that he was actually despised by a little fox.
Shu Yao smiled: "Forget it, big brother, let's go" It's good to let such a spiritual little thing be free in the mountains and forests.
The two of them were just about to step away, when the little fox squeaked again, glared at Shu Yao angrily, and patted his belly with two little paws.
Shu Yao was stunned: "You said you were hungry and wanted to eat?" ”
"Squeak," the little fox was happy and looked at Shu Yao expectantly.
"Big brother, what does the fox eat?" Shu Yao looked dazed.
Shujie replied: "Should you eat **? Don't they all say that foxes steal chickens to eat? ”
"Squeak", the little fox hugged his little head with a pair of paws, and rolled his eyes at Shujie again, Shujie was embarrassed, he was seriously despised by the little fox again.
Shu Yao was also unhappy: "If you are rude to my eldest brother again, I won't give you anything to eat." ”
"Squeak", the little fox quickly sat down and looked at Shu Yao obediently.
Shu Yao didn't care what the fox ate, took out a piece of dim sum from the mahogany box and gave it to it, but he didn't expect the little thing to really hold the dim sum and eat it deliciously, and after eating, he slapped his throat with his paw at Shu Yao.
This time Shujie understood: "It is thirsty and wants to drink water." ”
"Squeak" The little fox happily jumped onto Shujie's shoulder, licked his face, and then looked at Shu Yao bably.
Shu Yao almost fainted, this little thing has become a sperm, right? She looked around, picked a large leaf, rolled it into a funnel shape, and fed it water from the water tank in the mahogany box.
The little fox was full of food and drink, but refused to jump off Shujie's shoulder.
"You want to come with us?" Shu Yao asked.
"Squeak" The little fox responded happily, and then curled up on Shujie's shoulder and fell asleep, his little paws still holding Shujie's neck, as if he was afraid of falling.
"It's going to enjoy it, and it's going to sleep when it's full of food and drink." Shujie couldn't cry or laugh, but he was really reluctant to leave the little fox. It's just that it was very uncomfortable to be held around his neck and couldn't turn, so he simply hugged the little fox in his arms.
The brother and sister continued to walk forward, and along the way, Shu Yao collected a roe deer, five pheasants, three hares, and even a nest of four snow-white rabbits.
Shujie looked ahead, and then walked into the inaccessible mountains, although there was a treasure chest to protect him, but his sister was so small, he always felt dangerous subconsciously.
"Squeak," the little fox, who had slept enough, objected, jumped out of Shujie's arms, and walked in first, and turned back impatiently to "squeak", as if urging them.
"Big brother, it's so spiritual, it's dangerous, it will know the way, why don't we go a little bit more and take a look? We also have mahogany boxes. It only takes a thought for Shu Yao to collect wild things, which makes her bolder a lot.
"Okay," Shujie is a typical sister control, and he does know that there is a treasure chest to rely on, and the boy is adventurous by nature, so he no longer insisted, but just carried Shu Yao. There is no path for hunters to walk further in, and it is getting more and more difficult to walk, and you have to worry about snakes and the like.
