A reindeer with pure white fur appeared in Zhongyue Mountain, and in Chu Jiangmian's eyes, he didn't think it was too bizarre. For others, however, it is a big deal. Not only did Jiang Xue'er and the guard Zheng Qi widen their eyes and felt very strange, but even Lao Ji, who was squatting under the big tree and drinking by himself, also came over and looked at it carefully, and let out a sigh of admiration from his mouth.

"Little prince, the legend in the world says that the white deer is an auspicious beast, and it can only be seen by those who have an atmospheric carrier. What a good omen! ”

It is rare for such flattering words to come out of the mouth of the always taciturn old Ji. Chu Jiangmian glanced at him strangely, not knowing where a coachman got such insight. Then he smiled and said.

"Lao Ji, do you believe such nonsense? Hehe! Let me tell you, the so-called white deer and white tiger are all a disease....... ”

"Little Lord is cautious!"

Before the grinning Chu Jiangmian finished speaking, his words were interrupted. The hunched back of Lao Ji was unusual, and his expression was extremely solemn. This surprised Chu Jiangmian.

"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't it just an ordinary deer...... And he was also injured. Looks like he's hurt a lot! These wounds should have been bitten by the cheetah, and I don't know if I can survive. ”

"The little prince is young, and he may not have heard of the rumors in the world...... Alas! Let's not talk about that, let's see if there is a way to save it. If you can bring it back to Zhao, I believe that King Zhao will be very happy. ”

Lao Ji said as he put the wine jug in his arms. When I bent down to take a closer look, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He shook his head, half of the deer's body was covered in blood, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to treat.

"Brother Jiang Mian, is there really no way to save it? It looks so pathetic! ”

Jiang Xue'er also squatted down, gently stroked the neck of the deer with her palm, and looked up at Chu Jiangmian with tears in her eyes, her brother has always been omnipotent in her mind. She very much hoped that he would have a way to heal the deer's wounds.

Chu Jiangmian shook his head helplessly, Bailu was seriously injured and lost so much blood, so he couldn't hold on for long. Between these mountains, they didn't bring any medicine, so there was no way to treat them in time.

Chu Jiangxue saw that her brother had no choice, she turned back sadly, and was about to comfort and comfort the white deer, but suddenly saw it struggling to get up again, and then dragged its almost crippled hind legs and staggered deeper into the woods in front.

I saw that the deer was stained with blood behind it, staining the grass and trees that passed by red. Several people's faces showed unbearable expressions. Especially the girl who has always been soft-hearted, there are tears to drip down. Everyone knew very well in their hearts that in this mountain forest, even if this white deer did not die for a while, it would soon become food for other beasts.

Bailu walked for a short time with difficulty, but suddenly turned around and reviewed frequently. There was a sad color in those meek eyes, as if they were asking for help. Chu Jiangmian's heart moved, so he took Jiang Xue'er's hand and walked behind it.

After passing through the thick shade of several towering trees, after a while, I saw the white deer stop by a few boulders. Then he burrowed into the thick grass and called softly.

Chu Jiangmian couldn't help but be curious, and when he quietly approached to take a look, he had already heard the startled "huh" of the girl who was following him. His hands were clenched.

"Brother Jiang Mian, there's a deer in it! It's so cute...... Is this their home? ”

Chu Jiangmian waved his hand to the back, signaling that Zheng Qi and Lao Ji didn't need to come over, so as not to frighten them. In the bushes, he could see clearly. The wounded white deer was bent down and holding a small white deer cub in its arms. The little fawn cub was obviously not weaned yet, and when he saw his mother return, he did not know that he was dying, and his little head arched up and went under his belly to feed. The white deer's whole body was visibly convulsed in pain, but he still tried to stretch his belly so that the little deer cub could eat more.

Chu Jiangmian looked away. felt that his hand was clenched tighter by Jiang Xue'er. Heaven and earth are ruthless, and the weak eat the strong, which is originally the law of nature. Even if he had long understood the cruelty of this world, how could he be indifferent when the sad things he saw were happening in front of his eyes? The feeling of compassion is innate in everyone's heart. This is common to both animals and humans.

"Brother Jiang Mian......."

Jiang Xue'er didn't know what to say. Although this girl has been pampered in the palace since she was a child, her heart is very soft. Seeing such a scene, her eyes couldn't help but be full of tears. If it is inevitable that the doe will die this spring, then it is conceivable that it will be difficult for this fawn cub to survive in the following storms and scorching heat.

When Chu Jiangmian looked down again, the white deer, which was probably the one who had tried all his strength to rush back to see his deer cub for the last time, was looking at him. Those large, docile eyes seemed to be full of pleading and expectation. Chu Jiangmian sighed softly and nodded. Two strings of tears suddenly flowed from the eyes of the white deer, and then its head rubbed against its own deer, as if it had lost its strength, touched the ground, and died silently.

Chu Jiangmian reached out and took the deer cub out of the arms of its recently dead mother. The little guy didn't know what life and death were, it stuck out its tongue and licked the palm of the person holding it, its little ears swayed gently, and a pair of wet eyes looked at the two unfamiliar faces in front of it, and then screamed a few times.

"Brother Jiang Mian, this fawn is so pitiful! Its mother died like this, what will it do in the future? That abominable cheetah, you should have shot a few more arrows at it just now to get rid of it! ”

"Cher, it doesn't matter. Let's take it back, and when we leave, we'll take it back to Zhao, what do you think? ”

"Really? Brother Jiang Mian, that's great! Merely...... Can we feed it? ”

Hearing Chu Jiangmian's words, the girl wiped away her tears and became excited all of a sudden. She took the deer cub from her brother's hand and held it carefully in her arms. While he kept looking, he was a little worried.

"Cher, of course we'll be able to feed it! Don't you still believe in your brother's ability? ”

Since Brother Jiang Mian's tone is so firm, what else is there to doubt! Don't say that it is to raise a deer cub, even if her brother says that he wants to raise a phoenix in the sky, she believes that it will be possible.

Zheng Qi, who was holding the double knives in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Little Wangye, the antlers of this white deer are very peculiar, and they should be rare. Do you want......? ”

He made a cutting motion with his knife. Chu Jiangmian shook his head. Although the antlers were precious, he did not want them.

"Alas! This white deer is also pitiful, accidentally encountered a predator and lost his life. But he fought his last breath to return to his home and take care of his cubs...... Don't look at it as an animal, but its mind is worthy of admiration. We can't let it be eaten by beasts in the forest, dig a pit and bury it, so that it can be regarded as a good burial place...... I only hope that you will not be reborn as a weak beast in the next life, and get rid of this fate of being hunted! ”

Chu Jiangmian muttered to himself, but the last sentence was said to the dead white deer. Then, with the help of Zheng Qi, he dug a big pit next to the rock with the sword in his hand and buried the white deer deeply.

The loess buried a life, and soon after the limb melted, leaving only dry bones in the ground. If this is true of beasts, why not man? Jiang Xue'er hugged the deer cub and couldn't bear to see this scene, she turned around and took a few steps away, watching the spring breeze blowing through the treetops and the sun burying deep in the grass, still feeling sad.

The white fluffy deer cub looks like it has just been born. It looked at the world with wide, helpless eyes. It seems that I don't understand why I left the arms of my familiar mother and was taken away by a human with a strange atmosphere.

"Let's go! After we went out, we found a place to rest and waited for the hunt to end. Put away all these bows and arrows. In fact, spring is not the season for hunting in the first place...... Perhaps, there are a lot of animal cubs in this mountain, waiting for their mothers to return. ”

Chu Jiangmian was a little distracted, and he suddenly lost his interest in hunting. And Jiang Xue'er naturally strongly agreed. Since seeing the scene just now, she has already made up her mind that when she returns to Zhao Kingdom, she must do her best to persuade her brother, father, and everyone to stop going to Jiuxing Mountain to hunt prey.

The guard Zheng Qi and the coachman Lao Ji are naturally indispensable. The little prince said that he would do what he wanted, and he originally came out to play with the team. Those things that are competitive and steal the limelight, the little prince is not uncommon! Zheng Qi put away his knife, and Lao Ji took out the wine jug again. Since the little prince pities these prey, then find a sunny place and feel the breath of spring. Wouldn't it be nice to have a few more sips of wine by the way!

A few people took the deer cub through the light-dappled dense forest, stepped on the long grass and green vines, and began to walk back in the direction they came. It's just that they were still thinking about the white deer just now, but how could they have expected it, but in just a few moments, around this dense forest, there have been secret cloths and ambushes!

Just a dozen feet away from the edge of the dense forest, behind the rocks, among the grass and trees, and in many other hidden places, the shadows of blades and armor flashed faintly. It's impossible to tell how many Shadow Slayers are lurking inside, waiting for orders to act.

"Humph! Chu Jiangmian, this prince didn't take you seriously, but since you want to die and take the initiative to hit the knife, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky...... When you get to Huangquan Road, you have to think about it, today next year will be your sacrifice day! ”
