Chapter 147: Perseverance
Even in a nameless valley in the mountains, a gray hare jumped up and down in front of a green grass, stretched out its mouth to bite off a few young leaves, swallowed it and chewed it carefully, while its front paws lifted off the ground, and its long ears were two inches long to listen to the surrounding movements.
A pair of small red eyes in the eye sockets are also watching all the movements around them, and the flat little nose is also constantly stirring.
The gray hare uses its senses of hearing, smell, and eyesight to watch all movements around it, and if there is a trace of unusual movement around it, it will immediately notice it and flee.
Of course, rabbits mainly rely on hearing and smell, and their eyesight is only an aid, but this is enough, and hunters cannot catch such sensitive prey without special tools.
The thousand-year-old king is 80,000 years old, and the hundred-year-old rabbit is not chased, which means that the rabbit that has become a fine rabbit for a hundred years cannot be caught at all, since this is the case, of course, no one wastes any effort to catch the rabbit.
Sure enough, at this time, a "humanoid monster" covered in leaves suddenly stood up three feet away from the gray hare, and let out a roar from its mouth, and the movement was unusually loud, and the sleeping beast would be awakened. Of course, the hare, which had an unusually sensitive senses, immediately noticed the anomaly.
The hare was frightened, and immediately rushed into the distance, as fast as lightning, and the movement of the rabbit really lived up to its name.
The hare had fled into the distance, but the "humanoid monster" seemed to be extremely unwilling, and chased after it with a shout, and the movement was getting bigger and bigger, as if the sky was falling, and the already frightened hare ran faster.
The frightened hare scurried towards their burrows, because they instinctively believed that only their burrows were safest.
The hare scurried towards its burrow, getting closer and closer, and disappeared without a trace, but the frightened hare did not notice the frightening light shining among the grass heaped in the burrow.
Seeing this, the "humanoid monster" chased after him even more urgently, and the gray hare glanced back in horror, turned around and burrowed into the cave.
In an instant, only a soft sound of "poof" was heard, and the red light flashed in the hare cave, and the hare that was running quickly was cut in two by the sharp blade hidden in the cave mouth, and the rabbit's blood splashed out three feet away, and the body that was broken into two parts twitched unwillingly at the mouth of the cave.
"Haha!" At this time, the "humanoid monster" covered in leaves ran over out of breath, picked up the carcass of the hare and laughed: "Sample, you are running?" Look at you, the Monkey King, can still run out of the palm of the Buddha? ”
"The thirteen articles of Guiguzi's Art of War are really wonderful, judge the situation, determine the foundation, master, I live and learn, and I have not caught you yet?" "Humanoid monster," said triumphantly.
Time is like flowing water, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue have also been trapped in the nameless valley for more than two months.
In the past two months, in addition to reviewing the homework that he had memorized, Li Sanjian was studying the "Thirteen Chapters of the Guiguzi Art of War", and at this time, Cai Rongxue had already translated the seal characters on the "Thirteen Chapters of the Guiguzi Art of War" into ordinary words, which was convenient for Li Sanjian to study.
It is said that all the books that Li Sanjian was carrying have been lost, and Li Sanjian only has the ancient book "Thirteen Chapters of the Art of War of Guiguzi" on his body at this time.
Through study, Li Sanjian found that "The Thirteen Chapters of the Art of War of Guiguzi" is not so much a military book, but a book of "conspiracy", which focuses on conspiracy strategies and speech and debate skills, and even focuses on the court and diplomatic disputes.
Of course, in addition to focusing on the strategy of power and debate, the strategies in the book can also be applied to military strategy, so "Guiguzi Thirteen Chapters of the Art of War" is also called the book of war, if "The Art of War" is called a book of martial arts, then "Thirteen Articles of the Art of War of Guiguzi" can be called a book of military affairs, one article and one martial arts, complementing each other.
However, at this time, Li Sanjian applied "Thirteen Articles of the Art of War of Guiguzi" to catch hares, which made people cry and laugh. If it is known by someone who knows the goods, it will be so angry that it will look up to the sky and roar, and if it is known by Guiguzi, it will also be so angry that he will crawl out of the grave, pointing at Li Sanjian and scolding.
"Hungry in the lower belly, no wonder, no wonder!" The "humanoid monster" Li Sanjian then pouted his buttocks, got into the hare burrow, and reached in to touch it.
Generally speaking, since the hare burrow is here, then its cubs may also be among them, so Li Sanjian has both Long and Shu, and wants to take the hare to a nest to feast on it.
Sure enough, Li Sanjian had very good luck today, reached in and touched indiscriminately, and in a moment, he caught two hare cubs out.
The two hare cubs were gray and white, caught by Li Sanjian in his hands, struggling desperately, and making a burst of "squeak" screams, which was very pitiful.
"You... How can you do that? Fast... Let them go, they're so pathetic. At this moment, a "humanoid female beast" covered in leaves chased after her and scolded Li Sanjian.
The situation of the "humanoid she-beast" is much better than that of the "humanoid monster", with a long worn dress under the leaves hanging from her body, rather than the pure skin under the leaves of the "humanoid monster".
"Why did you come along?" Li Sanjian looked very annoyed when he saw this, every time he was like this, he finally caught some beasts, but he was interrupted by Cai Rongxue, who followed, and was forced by her to release the beasts... Nature
Between the two months, wild fruits alone could not satisfy Li Sanjian's appetite, Li Sanjian had already eaten all day long, dizzy and weak, and had to do everything possible to catch wild animals. Is it easy to catch a hare though? The cunning rabbit has three holes, and Li Sanjian arranged it for half a day to catch this hare. . .
Cai Rongxue didn't feel like this, wild fruits are eaten with relish, and they are sweet, Li Sanjian sometimes really doubts that she is really a god in the sky, she doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and she can live very freely with the nectar of fairy fruits.
"The Buddha said, don't kill living beings. You've beheaded their mothers, why are you ... And kill them? And even... Ate them again? Why are you so ruthless? Cai Rongxue looked at the gray rabbit that was broken in two and said, Cai Rongxue's tears were about to flow.
"What do you think I look like?" Li Sanjian pointed to his nose with a smile when he heard this, and said, "Do you think I look like a monk?" If you don't eat them, won't you starve me to death? ”
"I don't care." Cai Rongxue stomped her feet and said, "Look at the two little rabbits, how cute they are, you can also eat them?" Let them go, please. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll just let them go." Li San couldn't resist Cai Rongxue, so he had no choice but to put the two little rabbits down.
Let you go for the time being, Li Sanjian stared at the two little rabbits and said secretly in his heart, when you grow up, I will eat you in one go, saying that the two little rabbits don't have a few taels of meat, it is better to let them go, and it is not too late to raise them and eat them later.
Drying up and fishing, Li Sanjian still understands this truth.
The two little rabbits did not return to the cave after getting off the ground, but jumped at Cai Rongxue's feet, rubbing them one after another on Cai Rongxue's feet, and at the same time, the small eyes the size of green dots looked at Li Sanjian in horror, looking very human.
Cai Rongxue was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the two little rabbits, stroked them gently, and softly comforted the two little rabbits who were still trembling and said, "Don't be afraid, don't shoot, we ignore that big villain." ”
Li Sanjian couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, just because of the two rabbit cubs, he became a big villain?
"Let's go, let's roast rabbit meat!" Li Sanjian then picked up the gray rabbit provocatively and walked to the residence of the two.
Cai Rongxue glared at Li Sanjian fiercely, and followed Li Sanjian towards his residence with two little rabbits.
。。。。。。。。
"You... At such a point, seeing that the time for the provincial exam is coming, why do you still review your homework every day? Cai Rongxue propped her chin and looked at Li Sanjian, who was gobbling rabbit meat while reviewing his homework, and asked.
The two little rabbits poked their heads out of Cai Rongxue's arms and were pressed back by Cai Rongxue.
The time of the Song Provincial Examination is generally set between January and February, and after Li Sanjian obtained the qualification for dismissal in Guizhou, it was already July, and more than two months had passed at this time, and it was already September, and it was less than five months before the provincial examination, and from Guizhou to Kaifeng Mansion, there was at least a delay of two or three months on the road, so the time seemed a little urgent.
Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue are trapped in the valley, so far, there is no possibility of getting out of the predicament, maybe the two will be trapped here for a lifetime, and they will grow old here... Therefore, Cai Rongxue felt extremely puzzled, wondering why Li Sanjian was so tireless and persevering in preparing for the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites?
It is better to take a branch and write and draw on the ground than to give up.
"Don't bother." Li Sanjian waved his hand a little impatiently in his heart.
It's really a pot that doesn't open which pot, Li Sanjian was secretly angry in his heart, how could Li Sanjian not understand the current situation? But Li Sanjian made up his mind earlier than he made up his mind, and he would never give up until the last moment, and he would not give up at the last moment.
Besides, Li Sanjian doesn't believe that he can be trapped here for a lifetime? God gave him a second chance, not to trap him here, one day, Li Sanjian will get out of trouble.
If you can't catch up with the provincial test this time, you will prepare for the tribute three years later, and one day, Li Sanjian will be able to use it.
At this time, Li Sanjian is most worried about his mother Fu Erniang, I don't know what is happening to her now? Cai Rongxue's mention of this made Li Sanjian even more worried about his mother, which was also the main reason for Li Sanjian's anger.
Li Sanjian spoke stiffly, and his tone was extremely annoyed, but Cai Rongxue didn't care, not only that, but Cai Rongxue felt that Li Sanjian's appearance was very pitiful.
The tribute of the children of poor families is the only hope, how can Cai Rongxue not understand this?
The sky is above! If he can get out of trouble and return to Beijing to participate in the provincial examination, the slave family is willing to give everything, at this time, Cai Rongxue secretly prayed to the sky in her heart.
