Chapter 144: Hunting

"yes, that's it." Long Ping held Siming's arm with his right hand, leaned over Siming's shoulder again, and pointed him in the direction so that Siming's eyes were fixed there.

And what Siming was holding in his hand was the fire gun that Gu Pan had mentioned before, facing an injured deer, and there was green smoke in front of the fire gun, and it would melt into the fog after a while.

Siming's throat twitched, this is the first time he has come into contact with this thing, he has always only heard of it, but he has never seen it, when Gu Pan talked about it just now, although he said that he was afraid of causing trouble, he actually wanted to get started and see this kind of high-quality thing.

After Gu Pan picked and chose a gray rabbit as the jackpot, the group followed into the forest. The trees were covered with snow, and when they shook it, they shook like a water dog, provoking themselves in water.

Snow is the natural protective color of rabbits, but it can't withstand the tip of the nose of the hunting dog, only a light sniff, a chase, the rabbit has nowhere to hide. After the rabbit came out of the hole, Gu Pan was not idle, took the arrow from the quiver, put the arrow on the bow, pulled the bow full, and shot it at the place where the gray rabbit was going to run.

I heard a 'whoosh' in the air, and the arrow went straight back in the direction where the rabbit had fled, and when I looked again, the gray rabbit had fallen on its side, and its gray hair was stained with blood, and there was blood gurgling from the arrow.

Quan Rong ran over, let out a whistle, lured the thin dog back, and picked up the rabbit back, and said to Gu Pan with a smile, "Miss Pan, good skills!" โ€

Gu Pan scratched his nose with his hand and said, "That's it, you don't look at who it is." After taking the rabbit from Quan Rong's hand, he walked to Long Ping, "Brother Ping, look, rabbit." โ€

This opened the bow, and the rest of the people were eager to try it, and one by one, carrying the bows on their backs, in groups of three or five, went to find some prey to try their hands, and each of them led the dogs that they could use, and immediately dispersed.

Siming didn't move forward, still waiting in place, neither wanting to draw the bow nor pick up the meat. Long Ping, who was also in the same place, had a different idea, and after the people in the Hundred Beast Hall dispersed, he shouted Siming again with Gu Pan, and followed Quan Gui'er to the deeper part of the mountain.

Unlike the bare north, the winters here are much warmer, and even the trees are much denser, and you can already see only shadows walking around after you have not gone far.

The further up the mountain became, the steeper it became, and Long Ping was also a little panting, but he still turned back to talk to Siming from time to time, and asked Quan Gui'er to take a hand and pull himself up.

"I heard Quan Gui'er say, you have spent a day in Shazhou City?" Long Ping seemed to be very interested in Siming's journey home, and since Siming came here, he often mentioned it.

"I only stayed there for half a day, bought rice and went to Mincheng." Siming replied honestly.

Long Ping asked again, "What is the price of rice there?" โ€

"It's twice as much as here, two taels of silver a load, and other small places should be more expensive, when I went, there were a lot of rice sellers lined up around the rice shop, and they must have come from the surrounding area." Since Long Ping was interested, Siming spoke in more detail.

Looking at the position of the setting sun, Long Ping smiled helplessly and said, "At the beginning of this year, I also had people transport some meters from Jiangnan, and by this time it should be almost exhausted." When you go again next year, you should also bet on the past, which is more attractive than the money in the past. โ€

It turned out that the head of the Long family took himself out of Baidi City for the sake of the northwest, and Siming thought to himself that he was not very familiar with the northwest for a long time, what could he do for him?

"Well, it's all up to the owner." Siming finally figured out where to arrange after the year.

I don't know how far I went, Long Ping suddenly stopped Gu Pan, who was running happily in front of him, and walked towards a path that was inserted diagonally.

I don't know if Long Ping's ears are different from ordinary people, or if he has an expectation of the road ahead, Siming and the others didn't go far before they saw a deer eating the withered grass under the snow in front.

A few people stopped under the cover of the branches, and observed the deer that was gnawing, and perhaps heard some small noises, and the fawn looked around while eating the dead grass.

Long Ping summoned Quan Gui'er, who was squatting behind him, and asked him to take out the things he was carrying in his pocket, but it was a fire hammer, a round pipe made of brass, which reflected in the snow.

Long Ping shook the strange thing, signaled that he was closer to him, held the fire gun in his hand again, and said in his ear, "I'll teach you to play with this." โ€

Siming nodded, still commanding how his hands were swinging, like a baby learning to walk, and handed over the power to move forward.

It wasn't until a 'boom' that Siming came back to his senses. Accompanied by a burst of tinnitus and the scene of the deer falling into the snow, Siming was shocked by this strange thing, it turned out that such a small, big pipe like a thing could have such an effect, and it was better than the arrow in Gu Pan's hand.

Long Ping saw that the fawn had fallen to the ground, so he got up to look, and when he got closer, the fawn struggled to get up, and wanted to run again. The food in hand, how can you let it escape, Long Ping walked forward quickly, and hung it upside down, it was really a fawn, and it was not heavy.

The little deer didn't plan to stop there, and before he was firmly grasped by Long Ping, he was about to run away by kicking his legs, and when he struggled, he splashed Long Ping's blood.

Quan Gui'er, who had been following behind and didn't dare to come forward, couldn't care so much at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the deer leg and lifted it up.

Long Ping didn't care about this bloodshed at all, turned his head and smiled at Siming, "It's really a stubborn deer, do you want to fight more?" There's got to be a big guy up ahead. โ€

Before Siming could say anything, Gu Pan didn't want to go first, his eyes stared at the blood stains on Long Ping's body, and muttered, "Brother Ping, I want to go back." โ€

Long Ping also seemed to remember, his face was a little ashamed, wiped the blood on his body, touched Gu Pan's head, and said softly, "Then go back, wait for you to go to the room to rest first, and I'll send you some food." โ€

Gu Pan, who had always been noisy, was also well-behaved at this time, nodded, and followed Long Ping down the mountain. Siming looked at the backs of the two leaving, and suddenly felt a little lonely, and followed Quan Gui'er down the mountain together.

After returning to the place where they were first separated, the people of the Hundred Beasts Hall were already there, and some of the guys who were guarding the prey also came over to pick up the deer in Quan Gui'er's hand.

When Siming was in a trance, a head suddenly leaned over and asked with a smile, "That voice came from you just now?" โ€

Sound? Siming came back to his senses at this time, forcibly endured the panic, and pretended to be calm and said to Ouyang Lian, "What sound?" How I didn't hear it. โ€

Seeing that people denied it, Ouyang Lian didn't care, and hammered Siming's chest, as if she had received an affirmative answer, and walked away with a smile to see how many prey her brother had hit.

When the group reached the halfway point, it suddenly snowed again, and the men who followed took out umbrellas and propped them up. Quan Gui'er handed it to Siming and said, "Prince Wang, I hope to take care of you when I go to Shazhou City." โ€

It's this person again, Siming smiled and said to him, "Just each other." โ€

When we arrived at Longjia Village, the snow stopped. The people of the Hundred Beasts Hall were very interested, and they wanted to open a stove in the courtyard to roast rabbits, and Ouyang Lian also came to ask Siming if he wanted to go.

Siming was still thinking about Gu Pan, so he quit Ouyang Lian and went back to his yard. Gu Wende was eating in the hall, and when he saw Siming coming back, he also came to greet him, looking at Gu Pan's appearance, he frowned, and he didn't have a good face for Long Ping.

Siming also saw some clues, chased Gu Wende to his house, and asked, "Do you have something to hide from me?" โ€

Gu Wende naturally refused to answer, and was silent with his back to Siming, and after a while, he sobbed quietly, and muttered in his mouth, "It's me who is sorry for you." โ€

Siming also knew that he couldn't ask why, so he knocked on Gu Pan's door, said that he was sleeping, and went back to his house.

After a while, I heard someone knocking on the door, but it was Ouyang Lian, holding a rabbit leg wrapped in rice paper, handing it to Siming, looking into the house again, and asking, "Where is Miss Pan?" When I went down the mountain, I saw that she was not very energetic, and my mother asked me to bring this rabbit leg to you to eat. โ€

She fell asleep. Did you drink again? Siming smelled her again.

Ouyang Lian's amount of wine is excellent, and after a few bowls of wine, he doesn't feel dizzy, "Even if it's a banquet, why don't you drink." Why is this courtyard dark, and are they both asleep? I see that you are lonely alone, so come with me and eat, and I will let the brethren pour you less wine. โ€

"No, drink it yourself." Siming waved his hand and was about to go back to the house, when he was pulled out by Ouyang Lian.

Ouyang Lian on the road was happy, and while walking, she said to Siming with a smile, "You just hide things too much, isn't it good to say it and let your friends share it for you?" How can there be so much to think of, if you have a sip of wine today, you have to drink it today, no matter if the sun will rise tomorrow. โ€

Siming didn't pay attention to what she said about drinking, but she also felt depressed in her heart, so she followed her, and before she could enter the door, a heat wave came.

Pushing the door in, there was a commotion inside, all kinds of costumes, all gathered together, fists and drinking, seeing that Siming was coming, he was about to come up to greet him, but he was blasted open by Ouyang Lian, and said playfully, "People are different from your group of martial artists." โ€

Ouyang Lian took Siming to find a quiet corner to sit in, brought a wine glass to Siming, filled it with wine, and said with a smile, "Don't frown, forget about those things for the time being tonight." As he spoke, he ironed Siming's forehead with his hand.

Perhaps seeing that the others were also drinking happily, Siming stretched his waist and said to Ouyang Lian with a smile, "Then take a big bowl to drink, this little wine is not satisfying." โ€

Poof, Ouyang Lianke still remembered that this person was drunk and unconscious after three bowls of wine, and specially prepared a small cup for him, he actually took the initiative to ask for a big bowl to drink, so he fulfilled his wish, asked someone to bring a big bowl, and brought the wine jar to fill it.
