Chapter 678: Hungry
Sure enough, although Qi Jingyun didn't say anything along the way, when it was really time to hunt, he was a little more serious than anyone else, but he was just ...... Looking at a pheasant in front of her, Xiao Lishu smashed her mouth, and the whole person collapsed.
Fang Cai was still shouting with great momentum to take the second lady of the Xiao family, the first warrior of Western Liao, at the moment with her head down and her shoulders drooping, like a deflated ball.
"No way, we're walking too slowly, this place has been swept over, it's not easy to find a pheasant!" So many people poured into the mountains in a swarm, and the animals naturally ran into the forest, and even if they didn't have time to run, they would have been caught by the people who came here before them.
There's really not much left for them.
Xiao Lishu carried the pheasant left and right to look at it, and finally could only sigh helplessly, "Mingyue, I'm hungry." ”
Shaking the pheasant in her hand twice, Xiao Liyue looked at Qiao Mingyue with blank eyes, Qiao Mingyue pursed her mouth, she naturally knew what Xiao Lishu meant, just looking at the lively pheasant, Qiao Mingyue could only shrug her shoulders helplessly.
"Lishu, why do you think that if you can't kill chickens, I will!" She really hadn't done any of this, so naturally she wouldn't.
Xiao Lishu's eyes widened as if she had heard something incredible, "I thought Mingyue was omnipotent, because I feel like you can do anything!" ”
Qiao Mingyue really wanted to tell Xiao Lishu that those were all illusions, life was in the world, and she was not a god, how could she do anything? It's just that before the words were spoken, Qi Jingyun had already lowered his voice and said, "Don't speak, someone is coming!" ”
Hearing him say this, Qiao Mingyue hurriedly pulled Xiao Lishu up to a big tree together, but fortunately, the trees in this forest were exceptionally dense and tall, hiding in the bushes, and they couldn't see it at all.
The three of them hid in the tree, and sure enough, they saw a man and a woman leading horses in the distance, the man was dressed as a hunter, and the woman was dressed very ordinary, but on that face, there was a big, big red birthmark, which looked a little scary.
"It's strange how many horses are there!" The man stared at Qiao Mingyue and their horses, his brows furrowed.
The woman put the prey on the ground casually, a few sneers flashed in her eyes, and the frightened atmosphere of Xiao Lishu who shrank beside her didn't dare to gasp, only staring at the man and woman below in fear.
Following Xiao Lishu's gaze, Qiao Mingyue saw the thick blood stains that were still dripping down on the man's scimitar, but the blood was ticking, but it didn't seem to be the blood of the prey.
Because when they just threw those prey on the ground, Qiao Mingyue saw that the hares and pheasants had already died and were a little stiff for a while, so this blood obviously didn't match!
"Xu went hunting, left things here, and came back after a while, let's just see what kind of characters it is." When the woman said this, she smiled at the man, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, but the smile made people feel a little cold.
"Mingyue, what should I do?" Xiao Lishu lowered her voice and whispered in Qiao Mingyue's ear, Qiao Mingyue couldn't tell who this man and woman were for a while, looking at it, she didn't look like a person who entered the mountains and forests to hunt and participate in the hunting conference.
If you are participating in a hunting competition, you should be riveting your energy to hunt at this moment, instead of chatting here idly and lazily.
Looking at Qi Jingyun, Qi Jingyun shook his head lightly at her, signaling Qiao Mingyue not to be impatient, looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, Qiao Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, with Qi Jingyun here, it will be fine!
Under the tree, the woman gently untied the kettle at her waist, raised her head and drank two sips of water, her rosy lips were soaked with water, and she looked even more plump, if it weren't for the hideous birthmark on her face, this person would have been an extremely beautiful woman.
It's just that...... Because the birthmark crossed half of her face, it made her look a little scary.
"In previous years, the first king always made a show and never entered this forest to hunt, but this year the new king is different, but unfortunately there are too many people around, it is really difficult to start, otherwise it will ......" Speaking of this, the woman collected her voice and only looked down at the burning fire.
Listening to her words, Qiao Mingyue had an ominous premonition in her heart, the two people in front of her, I am afraid that they are really not good people as she guessed!
was muttering in her heart, but she heard the man snort coldly, wrapped the dead prey in mud and threw it directly into the fire, Xiao Lishu was dumbfounded, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe at this moment, I was afraid that she couldn't wait to jump down and let the family help roast the poor pheasant together.
"You are really getting bolder, you even dare to fight the king's idea, I'm afraid you don't want to live." The man snorted coldly, reached out and snatched the water bladder from the woman's hand, without any pity.
The woman only smiled, but did not say anything, but half-sat and leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed her eyes to take a nap, the silence in the woods was terrible, only the faint crackling sound of the fire burning echoed in the woods, accompanied by the occasional one or two terrible bird calls, which were even more terrifying and eerie.
Xiao Lishu was barely able to stand on the trunk of the tree by Qiao Mingyue's steady body, and now she has been standing for about an hour of incense, she has already lost consciousness in her legs, and she only frowned painfully and tried to suppress it.
sighed lowly, it's not a way to go on like this! These two people obviously won't leave until they come back, in this case, it's not a problem for them to hide in the trees all the time, even if they really want to leave for a while, but they took their horses away, how can they get out of this deep mountain and old forest?
Looking at Qi Jingyun, the eyes of the two people met, Qi Jingyun nodded lightly at Qiao Mingyue, her mind Qi Jingyun understood, Qi Jingyun's mind she could also see clearly, sometimes this tacit understanding didn't need any words at all, just a look was enough.
"Lishu, you stay on this, don't come down!" Qiao Mingyue admonished, and before Xiao Lishu could react, she felt that Qiao Mingyue's hand was taken back, and without her support, she could only stagger and stabilize her body to prevent herself from falling from the tree.
Flying down from the tree, Qiao Mingyue reached out to straighten out her somewhat messy clothes, reached out and rubbed her eyes, "Who is making noise here?" Still don't let people sleep? ”
As she spoke, she looked at the man and the woman, and the woman who was taking a nap opened her eyes when she heard the movement.
