"Then we'll go back to the county first, Ah Qi follows us, you can rest assured." After staying in Yulin Village for another three days, he found that his apprentice was well adapted, and Hao Mengyun was finally willing to go back to his home in the county.

She told Meng Zhen, "Don't just care about teaching Ah Shen, you yourself must continue to practice martial arts, day by day, remember?" ”

Meng Hao nodded.

Of course, she had to continue to study martial arts, if she had the skills of Yan Zhenwu or Hao Mengyun, or if their family could have a suitable place for her father and brother to hide for a while, she would not lose her father and mother again.

It was enough to experience such a tragedy once, and she would never let her loved ones be hurt again in the future.

Seeing off Yan Zhenwu, Hao Mengyun and the tearful little Meng Qi, Meng Zhen turned around and went home, took a weapon and went up the mountain with Su Shen.

Su Shen has been following her for a period of time to build a martial arts foundation, and now her physical fitness is much better than before, so Meng Hao will not delay too much time with him.

The two locked the door, Meng Hao stuffed the long sword and dagger into the large basket containing stones, slingshots, wooden crossbows, and wooden arrows, while Su Shen picked a wooden stick in his hand and held it in his hand - there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain, and the wooden stick can be used to beat the grass and drive them away.

"Brother Su, sister of the Meng family." The two were about to go up the mountain, and the courtyard door of Aunt Guo's house next door was squeaked open.

Guo Yang rubbed his hands, his face was cramped and uneasy, "Brother Su, sister of the Meng family, I, can I follow you into the mountain with you?" ”

The Guo family has no permanent property, the only thing that can be called valuable is the yard where they live now, and the only means that the family relies on to make a living are odd jobs, digging wild vegetables, picking mushrooms, picking wild fruits, going into the mountains to chop firewood and then selling it in the town, and occasionally Guo Yang can get a pheasant or a hare.

It can be imagined how embarrassing their family's life is.

In the past few days, seeing Yan Zhenwu and them go into the deep mountains, they can get a lot of prey every time, Guo Yang couldn't help but move his mind.

He wanted to learn to hunt with Yan Zhenwu and them, and wanted to earn more money to improve the living conditions of the family, so that his mother and sister could be fed and clothed.

In his opinion, learning to hunt with people is almost the same as going to the town to be an apprentice, all of them want to learn a craft that is enough to support their family from their master, but he can't even make up a decent apprenticeship, which makes Guo Yang very ashamed.

He hesitated for several days, and finally decided to be cheeky and plead.

If people refuse, although he is disappointed, he can understand, but if they agree, then wouldn't he be able to have one more ability?

He swore that if he could really get what he wanted, then he would definitely honor his master as his own father in the future.

When he made this decision, Guo Yang didn't know that Yan Zhenwu had decided to take Hao Mengyun and Meng Qi back to the county seat, so his apprenticeship object had always been Yan Zhenwu, the most capable and majestic young man in his opinion.

However, just when he changed into a piece of clothing with the least patches of his own and was about to show his face to find Yan Zhenwu to apprentice, Yan Zhenwu actually walked away and left...

Guo Yang was dumbfounded.

He stood in a daze for a while, until Meng Hao and Su Shen locked the door and prepared to leave, and then his brain rushed out.

The optimistic master flew, and Guo Yang subconsciously wanted to seize the only remaining opportunity.

Meng Hao was surprised, she frowned slightly, "We are going to go into the deep mountains and old forests, I'm afraid it's not convenient to take you with you." ”

Guo Yang's heart was empty and disappointed, but what Meng Hao said was reasonable, he tried to suppress the disappointment in his heart, and forced himself to squeeze out a smile, "Yes, I was reckless." Then I won't delay you entering the mountain. ”

"Hey, Brother Guo-" Seeing that Guo Yang was sleepwalking, and his head was about to hit the door panel of his house, Meng Hao hurriedly shouted, "Don't rush home first, although I can't take you into the deep mountains and old forests, I can teach you another way to hunt." ”

Guo Yang turned around stupidly, Mu Mu, "Sister of the Meng family, you, are you serious?" ”

"Don't worry, I guarantee that your real money will be a few points." Meng Zhen was sad and funny, speaking of which, Guo Yang's appearance was not all forced out by poverty and hunger.

If you can give you enough food and clothing, who would want to give up your face and ask others to teach you?

Willing to be self-reliant rather than sit back and enjoy his success, Guo Yang's consciousness made Meng Hao can't help but want to help him.

She instructed Guo Yang, "Brother Guo, go and get a basket, if you have a shovel or pickaxe at home, it's best to take a handful, if you don't have one, take a sharpened sturdy wooden stick." ”

Guo Yang was overjoyed, "Yes, yes, I'll take it." ”

After a while, Guo Yang really walked out with a basket and a shovel.

The shovel is very old, and I don't know how many years the Guo family has kept it, but in the end, this thing is an iron tool, and it is far easier to dig up the soil than to sharpen the wooden stick.

The group of three people bathed in the morning sunshine, and Meng Zhen led the way up the mountain next to them.

This mountain is called Daheishen, it is a big mountain within the range of the Qianhua Mountain Range, although these villagers in Yulin Village at the foot of the mountain only dare to circle at the foot of the mountain, but this mountain can be regarded as feeding a lot of villagers.

Usually, Guo Yang chops firewood or something on this mountain, but he, like everyone else in the village, only dares to move in the area at the foot of the mountain.

This time, Meng Hao didn't take him too far.

When she reached a fifth of the height of the Great Black Mountain, Meng Hao could not see the walking traces left by the other villagers, she made a brief observation, and then began to direct Guo Yang to dig a pit.

“... Don't dig up the turf, we'll have to put it back in place later. ”

"Dig deeper, or you won't be able to trap the animals."

"Ah Shen, you go and help me get some branches, I want to get some sharpened sticks for this trap."

Under Meng Hao's constant prompting and personal demonstration, a trap with a lot of pointed branches was soon made.

Meng Hao also commanded Guo Yang and Su Shen to camouflage the trap, and just in case, she also asked Guo Yang to make marks on all sides of the trap.

Such a marked beast will not notice, but it can warn humans who have strayed into this place to beware of traps.

"Dig another one here."

"You can dig one up here, too."

"And here."

“......”

"Alright, you can go down the mountain, and I'll take you over tomorrow to check these traps."

After being busy for about an hour and digging a total of five traps, Meng Hao waved his little hand and drove away Guo Yang, a young man who was tired and sweating.
