Chapter 31: Into the Mountain
When she got home, Chen Xiaoxiao had dinner with Chen Dashan and Xiao Li.
After eating, Chen Xiaoxiao waited for almost an hour before An Wang and his party came back, and Chen Dashan hurriedly went to pour water.
King An came back and rested for a while before starting to bathe, so Chen Xiaoxiao stretched her neck in the hall and waited for the princess to come out.
It's a pity that she waited left and right, and still didn't see anyone.
She had no choice but to go over to find the princess, and it was also a coincidence that the prince was just and came over at this time.
Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly greeted him and shouted softly, "Princess! ”
Wang Decai shook off the dust, stopped, saw that it was Chen Xiaoxiao, and asked, "Poria, what do you call our family?" ”
"Father-in-law, the slave wants to go into the mountain tomorrow, I don't know if I can?" Chen Xiaoxiao asked cautiously, for fear that the prince would not agree.
Wang Decai listened and smiled, "Into the mountain? Our family is here to tell you about this, and the granddaughter of Village Chief Chen's family will also go tomorrow, so you and her will have a care. ”
"Really? Thank you, Princess! Chen Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised.
"Nature." Wang Decai habitually touched the floating dust, and ordered, "You go and prepare some dry food, you will use it tomorrow, you don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank your little sister named Qingchen." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao is blessed, her eyes are crooked, she is in a good mood, and the two dimples at the corners of her mouth smile like a full of fragrant wine, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Wang Decai saw that he was in a good mood, and waved his hand to let Chen Xiaoxiao get busy, he walked back, thinking as he walked, this little daisy, I really want to pick it up in front of the prince.
Shaking his head while walking, he is really old, how can he think of being a matchmaker, alas, he is really old.
The next day, the group met at Village Chief Chen's house early, Chen Xiaoxiao followed An Wang and a few people, and after coming, Chen Xiaoxiao was dragged aside by Chen Qingchen.
The two hugged each other, Chen Qingchen leaned on her, made up for sleep, and the two teams set off after a little rest.
There were a lot of people in Chenjia Village this trip, and Village Chief Chen was not at ease, so he specially called a few more people to accompany him, several of whom were hunters in the village, and one was his grandson.
Because there are no other female dependents, there are only Chen Xiaoxiao and Chen Qingchen.
Entering the mountain, Chen Xiaoxiao and the two walked hand in hand, Chen Xiaoxiao went with a bamboo basket, and the baked cakes were put inside, and I didn't know what the situation was when I entered the mountain this time, and it might be possible to stay overnight, so Chen Xiaoxiao prepared a lot of things.
The two of them were at the back of the team, Chen Qingchen was thinking about going into the mountains to hunt something and make money, she didn't tell anyone the purpose of going this time, she only pestered her grandfather and said that she wanted to go in and play.
King An was at the forefront, he often went into the mountains to hunt, and when he marched and fought, he experienced all kinds of difficult environments.
Chen Huatang slowed down at this moment and approached them, "Qingchen, Xiaoxiao, are you hungry?" ”
The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
Chen Huatang scratched his head to hide his nervousness, "Oh, remember to call me when you're hungry." “
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it, and said, "Got it, Brother Hua, you go to the front, don't worry about the two of us." ”
Chen Huatang was a little lonely, walking in front, sneaking a glance at Chen Xiaoxiao from time to time, afraid that people would see it, so he only dared to slap it every time.
Chen Qingchen looked around, his eyes didn't feel enough, the scenery in the mountains was beautiful, and he naturally didn't find his brother's unnatural expression.
As we walked further in, the road became more and more invisible in the mountains, and everyone had a long branch in their hands, beating on the grass passing by.
"Yikes!" Chen Qingchen shouted with joy, and found that everyone looked back at her, so she hurriedly hid behind Chen Xiaoxiao.
After everyone turned their heads, Chen Qingchen whispered in Chen Xiaoxiao's ear, "Xiaoxiao, look over there, there are so many rabbits!" ”
Chen Xiaoxiao followed her gaze, and sure enough, she found a few gray rabbits hiding in the grass, listening to the movement with her ears open, and she picked up stones and threw them at them in a bad way.
The hare disappeared in an instant, Chen Xiaoxiao giggled, afraid of making a sound, covered her mouth tightly, and laughed with tears.
"Childish!" Chen Qingchen scolded in a low voice, took her hand and continued walking.
The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, and occasionally a few small birds could be heard, and Chen Xiaoxiao also put away her playful thoughts and carefully followed behind them.
Finally, after crossing two small hills, with the consent of King An, a group of people sat down to rest.
At this time, the sky was already bright, the sun was shining into the dense forest, and the dew was dripping one after another.
Chen Xiaoxiao walked past everyone and walked towards King An, and the food she prepared was all in the back basket.
When she got to King An's side, she took off the back basket, took out the paper-wrapped pancakes, and handed them to King An, "Wang, young master, give it." ”
Wang An took it, and she continued to give it to Cangbai and Canghai, but Wang Decai didn't follow today.
After giving them the cake, Chen Xiaoxiao took her share, returned to the back of the team, and squatted with Chen Qingchen to eat.
After walking for so long, Chen Xiaoxiao's legs were a little sore, and she squatted on the ground and hammered her legs while eating.
After everyone finished eating, King An ordered Chen Xiaoxiao and the two of them to climb to a thick tree in front, they were about to hunt, and they couldn't take care of them when the time came, the beast was dangerous.
Chen Qingchen was not very reluctant, but she also knew that she couldn't mess around, so she had to lie down on the tree with difficulty with the support of Chen Xiaoxiao and her brother.
Chen Xiaoxiao also continued to climb up, and the bamboo basket was thrown by her next to the tree, during which she climbed halfway and almost fell down, but fortunately her hand was steady, but her leg was still bruised.
Chen Huatang looked at her worriedly from below, wanting to step forward to help, but he was afraid that others would see him gossiping, so he hesitated.
Chen Qingchen, who was on the tree, was so anxious that he couldn't sit still, "Xiaoxiao, are you okay, can you come up?" ”
When King An heard the sound, he glanced at them, and said in his heart, why is it so troublesome!
Chen Xiaoxiao hung halfway up the tree, still unable to climb up, the more anxious and panicked she became, and the weaker her legs became.
Just when Chen Xiaoxiao was about to fall, she only felt a gust of wind blowing, and a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, and in a blink of an eye she had reached the top of the tree.
There was a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, and a man's deep voice came from his ears, "Hold on." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao subconsciously hugged the trunk of the tree in front of her, and when she looked back, King An had landed firmly under the tree.
Among the people present, several hunters were far away, and they didn't see it, Chen Huatang had been under the tree, and he could see it clearly, his back to the tree and his face was pale.
An Wangde's identity, he knows, isn't Chen Xiaoxiao on an errand in his mansion? Why did you make this move, could it be......
Chen Huatang felt uncomfortable just thinking about it, he looked up at Chen Xiaoxiao, and couldn't see her face, so he lowered his head.
Chen Xiaoxiao's face turned red inexplicably, and she didn't dare to speak while holding the tree.
Chen Qingchen watched the whole process, she was very worried about Chen Xiaoxiao, just now she saw the man hugging Chen Xiaoxiao.
Fortunately, no one saw it, so if it was seen, Xiaoxiao's reputation in the village would be ruined in the future.
But is it so loud that no one really hears it?
Chen Qingchen continued to climb up, closer to her.
