Chapter 431: Travel

May is not a good hunting season, but Li Chen took his family out to hunt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info well, or rather, come out for a walk. A bunch of people, old and small, and the season is not right, what can they hunt?

Therefore, in a shaded place, under a big tree, the guards tidied up a flat land, pulled up the curtains, and laid out the carpet, Li Chen's old lady, Empress Dowager Zheng, and a few children all played here. Eating and drinking, watching a few half-grown children, playing on the ground, so happy. Only Li Chen was not there.

He is now taking his eldest son and hunting. The father and son took a bunch of guards and roamed the mountains and forests at will. Li Cheng lost a lot of weight, this time Li Chen was not forcing him, he consciously lost weight. Playing with a group of child-age playmates, strenuous activities, made him unconsciously lose a lot of weight.

Zheng was distressed and said bluntly, his grandson is so pitiful, does he not want to eat what he gets from school at school, he is hungry. Then every day, I want to make lunch from the imperial dining room and send it to it, and the best breakfast must be eaten in the palace.

The primary school in the inner city serves two meals a day, and brunch is provided by the canteen attached to the primary school. Originally, the Zheng family didn't want his grandson to eat at school, and wanted him to eat in the palace, but Li Chen stopped him, so in this special case, it was better to let him not go to school.

Now, Zheng has found a reason to let his grandson finish breakfast in the palace. Lunch was also delivered. Li Chen didn't agree to anything, just kidding, the school had breakfast and lunch, and he personally designated it. He didn't know anything about nutrition, he just knew that he had to eat it in a balanced way. Eating in the palace, children love to eat sugar, and Zheng spoiled him again, and it was strange not to raise him into the kind of sugar jar he used to be (just eating sugar to get fat, sugar jar).

Originally, the mother and son almost quarreled over the issue of their grandson's upbringing, which is really strange, in modern times, it is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who quarrel over this upbringing issue, but now he and his mother are arguing, and the Chao family has no intention at all. In other words, he is also partial to his mother, and he is only difficult to speak.

In the end, it was Li Kai who was unwilling and stepped forward to stop his grandmother. Seeing Li Chen secretly funny, his mother didn't know that when he reached a certain age, his peers were much more important than his family, how could he stand that kind of gaze that he was different from others. He has lost some weight, and he is much more active than before, so he has to hunt today, otherwise he could have been brought here a long time ago.

'Quick, there's a deer there. He patted his son on the shoulder, and pointed with a bow in one hand to a place where a fawn was looking timidly at the humans from among the trees. It didn't notice that the men were deliberating to take its life, and were still looking curiously.

Li Yan raised the bow in his hand and aimed carefully, this is a good prey, fixed target, although it is a young deer, but the size is not small. As long as he shoots an arrow, even if the deer runs away, the hound can quickly chase it back, don't you see a few hounds, with a relic, are they already eyeing it?

However, Li Yan glanced at the deer, put down his bow again, and saw that the deer was looking at him with wide eyes, and he was not afraid at all, and his heart softened, "Master, let it go." After speaking, he looked at his father as if pleading.

'Why, let him go. You give me a reason. Li Chen was noncommittal, let it go, give me a reason.

It's just a fawn. I can't get off the head' Li Cheng thought for a while, and said, 'Cheng, this is a reason,', seeing Li Kai nodding violently, Li Chen planned to let go of the deer, who knows, at this time the doe was so frightened that it came out, it smelled the smell of people from afar, he was not as innocent as the fawn, and he was about to take the child and turn around and run.

Li Chen saw it, opened the bow, but put the bow down again, shooting in such a hurry, whether he could shoot or not, but putting down the bow means that he is unwilling to shoot.

The doe was about to run away with the fawn, and several hounds and relics, without the orders of their masters, did not move, and let the two prey run away. Who knows, at this time, a lone wolf came out of nowhere and knocked down the fawn.

The fawn let out a miserable scream, the doe was frightened, and wanted to save the fawn, but the lone wolf did not let go, bit tightly, and shook it a few times, in the face of the doe's rescue action, it ignored it, and stared at the doe fiercely, so that the doe did not know what to do.

When Li Yan saw it, he opened his bow and wanted to shoot the wolf to save the fawn, but Li Chen stopped him.

'Master? ''You're going to save the fawn?'' ''Yes, look how cruel the wolf is. Li Yan said strangely, "But, you saved the deer, what about the wolf?" Starve? ''This... He'll always find something to eat, not to mention that wolves are so ferocious. ’

That's not what I said. Seeing this, the doe had to turn around and run away, and then the wolf turned its head and stared at Li Chen and their group of more than a dozen people, dragging the prey, and slowly retreating into the forest.

'If you had shot the wolf to save the fawn, and if you had shot it, you might have made it give up the deer, but the wolf would have starved to death.' You think fawns are pitiful, but you know what? Li Chen saw that his son was in a daze, and he continued, "Wolves are also a part of nature in the world, without wolves, do you know how terrible things can happen?" ’

'What can happen?' Isn't it just that these deer can live happily? Li Yan wondered, "No, even the deer will die." Seeing Li Chen's wide-eyed eyes, Li Chen began to explain the ecology to him.

If there are no wolves, the deer will always be born, because there are no natural predators, there will be more and more. In the end, all the grass in the prairie will be eaten, the grass will be eaten, and the deer will die.

But if there is a wolf, the wolf will eat the weak deer and limit the number of deer. So that the grass will not be eaten by the deer, and neither the wolf nor the deer will die.

But what if the wolf eats all the deer? ''That wolf will die too.'' Can wolves eat grass? Li Chen patiently explained, "In nature, wolves have worse fertility than deer. Moreover, the wolves also know that when the deer finish eating, they will die, and when they are full, they will not hunt other deer. ’

'It's not just a wolf, haven't you seen in the Suncheon Daily that there are crew members who see herds of cattle and sheep on the distant heavenly prairie, beside the beasts? Those fierce beasts, after eating treasures, will not hunt other animals, this is the power of nature. They were born with this truth. ’

'Then I was wrong to let go of that fawn?' Li Yan was a little frustrated, why did the master say this, it seemed that it was his fault, "No, you did it right." Seeing that the child was depressed, Li Chen touched his head, "The difference between humans and beasts is that people have compassion. There is shame and honor, so you did the right thing. When Li Chen heard this, he was a little happy, but Li Chen poured a basin of cold water on him again.

So, if you were in nature, would you like to be a wolf or a deer? Li Chen asked another question, "When a deer has endless food and a lot of grass, it will be eaten by wolves." What about being a wolf? At the risk of not finding your prey. Would you rather be a wolf, or a deer? ’

Li Yan thought only for a moment, and said without hesitation, 'When I am a wolf, I want to be a wolf.' ''Why?'' ''Because I'd rather hunt a deer than be hunted as a deer.'' ’

'Good, good son. Li Chen was very happy and patted his shoulder, Li Chen was also very happy, his father had always been strict, and he actually agreed with him.

'I want to tell you that to be a man is to be a wolf.' We can just discuss the issue of being a wolf or a deer, and we can also discuss whether or not to let go of that one. Li Chen said to Li Cheng with a serious face, these words are his purpose today.

Only the strong can decide the life and death of the weak. The wolf can decide whether to let the deer go, but the deer can only pray for mercy. ’

It's the same between countries, don't forget how rampant the Turks were at the beginning of our dynasty, without Emperor Taizong, we can only be slaves of the Turks today. It was we who fought back and finally destroyed the Western Turks, so that we had a glorious future. ’

So you have to remember not to expect mercy from the strong, but to become strong ourselves. It's the same between countries, just like this hunting ground, the law of hunting ground, either surrender or conquer, only when we are strong, can we have mercy on the weak, understand? Li Cheng was shocked, listened to Li Chen's words without revealing a word, and then nodded stupidly.

'Remember your kindness. Li Chen touched his son's head again, "Foreign enemies, let's say that wolf." Do you know how to tame them? Li Kai shook his head, "A big stick and bones, and by the way, a chain that is thick enough." ’

'Never untie the chain, give it a few sticks every now and then to reward it with a bone.' Remember, sticks come first, no rods get bones, it will only make the wolf think you are weak and bullying. Seeing Li Chen's confused look, Li Chen didn't say anything, saying too much at once would only make him more confused. Li Chen took his son and continued to hunt.

At this time, there was a noise in the woods, and Li Kai opened his bow to shoot in advance, and as a result, a person rushed out of the woods. As a result, as soon as Li Yan was nervous, the arrow was shot. Fortunately, his head was not accurate enough to hit anyone, and the arrow passed through his head, which frightened the man and left him on the ground, barely able to get up.

However, he didn't have to get up, and several guards immediately rushed up and suppressed him to the ground, and three or four people, the one who pressed him screamed miserably.

Let him get up and speak. Li Chen hurriedly asked the guards to get up, and then he looked at this person a few times, this person should be a woodcutter, an axe looks a few years old, but it is well maintained. He also carried a bundle, a large bundle of firewood.

Li Chen is a little strange, the coal stove has almost completely replaced firewood in recent years, and there are woodcutters? It's a disguise, but it's not quite like it. At least this person has essence, energy, and spirit, just like a woodcutter, if he is really a killer, this person is probably the Oscar winner.

Let him answer. Li Chen originally wanted to get this person closer, but was stopped by the guards, although this person looked like a woodcutter, but it was better to stay away from the emperor, it was safer.

Li Chen asked him a few questions. (To be continued.) )
