There seemed to be a noise not far away, and it disappeared in a flash.

Xia Jinse thought it was the prey, but he didn't move after looking at it for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Lan Beichen, what's over there?" ”

Lan Beichen slowly retracted his gaze, a cold light flew under his eyes, but he smiled lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a rabbit." In the depths of the forest, there are always a lot of things, and you will know later. ”

As if he meant something, Xia Jinse's heart moved, and he looked not far away.

Her ear and eye power are not as good as Lan Beichen, and she can't see anything after watching it for a long time, Chaiyun helped her on the side, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the princess, with the prince here, even if the bear blind man comes, he won't make any trouble." ”

"A few years ago, the prince and the emperor went to hunt and hunted a bear, and the subordinates still remember the taste of the bear's paw, which is really wonderful. It's spring, and the blind bear is hibernating, so it would be nice if you could hunt one today! Shattered Star said with a half-squinted gaze, a posture of aftertaste.

"You know how to eat!" Chasing Yun pretended to pat him angrily: "When will it be your turn to bear paws?" You can taste some bear butts, it's already the prince's extra kindness. ”

"What happened to the bear's ass? The meat is so thick and fat that you can't eat it! Shatterstar muttered, but didn't dare to fight back.

"What did you say?" Chasing Cloud stared at him, dragging out his voice.

"It's nothing, it's nothing...... Shattered Star hurriedly said flatteringly: "I said that if the prince hunts a bear, I will ask the princess to let you taste the bear ass too!" ”

Chasing Yun took a sip angrily: "Phew, you just ate bear butts!" ”

Xia Jinse was so happy to laugh, these two people talked about each other all day long, and when they became relatives in the future, are they also so happy?

The group walked forward slowly, although the forest was overgrown with weeds, but the broken star forced a path in front of them. The long sword in his hand flew over, and all the vine branches that stood in the way disappeared, Lan Beichen took Xia Jinse with him, observing the surrounding movements from time to time, vigilant and expectant, indescribable novelty.

"Chirp ......" a large bird chirps in the treetops.

As soon as the broken star raised his hand, the bird fell.

He rushed over and picked it up, and took it back happily: "It's open, I hunted a golden pheasant, and I will roast it and eat it." ”

This big bird has bright feathers, slender and clean, slightly larger than a hen, and Chaiyun took it, but he was a little sorry: "Such a beautiful bird, you killed it all at once, it's really pitiful." ”

Shattered Star said, "That's okay, when you eat it at night, don't rob me." ”

"Humph!" Chasing Yun glared at him, "You dare!" ”

Lan Beichen's eyes suddenly narrowed, staring ahead: "Silence!" ”

The three of them shut up at the same time, staring at the direction Lan Beichen was looking at, and Shattered Star and Chasing Cloud quickly became solemn, but Xia Jinse didn't feel anything. It's still a dense forest, lush, and no different from the surroundings.

Lan Beichen moved slowly, walked forward, Shattered Star followed him carefully, Chasing Yun guarded Xia Jinse's side, and whispered in her ear: "Don't move, princess, the prince has found the prey." ”

Xia Jinse looked forward to it, looking at Lan Beichen's appearance, it seemed that the prey was not small, otherwise he would not be so cautious.

In front, the two quickly disappeared into the jungle, leaving only her and Chasing Yun in the same place, waiting. After a while, Chasing Cloud led her slowly forward, following with little care.

Suddenly there was a roar, and a flock of birds fluttered their wings and flew up, and there was an amazing battle ahead, accompanied by the roar of the beast, even if Xia Jinse was so far away, he could feel the thrill from the front.

There was a loud noise, and it slowly calmed down, and there was a sound of rustling, as if something was being dragged towards them. In the dense forest, the figure appeared, Lan Beichen was still empty-handed, and returned leisurely, with the broken star next to him, dragging the leg of a big prey, and overwhelming a weed along the way.

"What a big boar!" Chasing Cloud exclaimed.

"It's really a wild boar!" Xia Jinse recognized it at this time.

Broken Star dragged the pig's trotters, bringing out a trace on the ground, Lan Beichen walked over with a smile, with the momentum of a victor, Xia Jinse was happy to greet him at once: "It's so good to hit it so quickly!" ”

Gu Bu said more to Lan Beichen, Xia Jinse experienced hunting for the first time, and his interest was all in the prey.

She leaned over to Shattered Star to see the boar, covered in black fur and fangs longer than the palm of her hand. The sturdy tendon meat is smelly, and I am afraid it weighs no less than two hundred catties. The only wound was under the boar's throat, and the sword was fatal, and the rest of the wounds were inflicted by the boar's struggle, which broke a lot of skin.

"Can this be delicious?" Xia Jinse slapped his nose and frowned.

"Of course I can't let you just gnaw like that." Lan Beichen smiled and stroked her long hair.

"I don't eat raw!" Xia Jinse pouted.

With the first prey, they are not afraid that they will not be harvested, and the four of them go all the way, encountering countless wild animals along the way.

The forest is full of squirrels, hares, and all kinds of birds, and often a pheasant is startled in front of them, and they fly away, and Xia Jinse is fresh and curious. The only thing that was slightly dangerous was that he encountered a snake hanging from the trunk of a tree, twisted and entangled, silent, but was chased by a stone from the clouds, and died by seven inches.

For Xia Jinse, this kind of hunting is safe and interesting, just like playing.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and Xia Jinse and they had already gained a lot.

The largest was the big boar that Lan Beichen had hunted, and there were a few pheasant-like birds, a snake, and two hares. Originally, he found a deer, but Xia Jinse thought about it, he couldn't eat it after hunting for nothing, so why waste it?

The sound of a stream appeared in front of me, and a clear stream flowing down the mountain came into view. Chasing Yun ran over, observed and beckoned Xia Jinse over: "Prince, princess, it's just right here, the terrain is flat, or it's here, right?" ”

Xia Jinse was already tired of walking, and he didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and sat directly on the grass.

Broken Star packed up the prey, chased the clouds to dig the stove and prepared to make dinner, Lan Beichenfei pulled Xia Jinse to wash her hands, then let her sit down to rest, and handed her a water bladder: "Drink, see you are tired, rest for a while, and you will eat well." ”

Xia Jinse leaned on Lan Beichen's side, resting while drinking water.

Tired is a little tired, but she thinks it's fun and enjoys this life, quiet and comfortable, free.

She handed the water bladder to Lan Beichen and sighed with emotion: "If you can do this every day, Lan Beichen, will you be bored?" ”

"I'm afraid you'll be bored."

Lan Beichen took the water bladder and covered it, put it beside her, hugged her shoulder, and looked around: "For so many years, I have always imagined that one day, I will be able to live a simple and comfortable life. I don't have the heart to finish it, I am busy with official business, I don't think about others, I don't have so much pressure, I only care about my own one-third of an acre. ”

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin against the top of Xia Jinse's head, and said softly: "But I didn't expect that maybe one day I would be more than one person, but someone else would accompany me." ”

Xia Jinse hugged his waist and looked at the red clouds in the distance, the sunset gradually sank, dyeing her cheeks red: "I didn't expect that one day I would live such a peaceful life, although it is still a luxury now, but it will definitely be possible in the future." ”

"It's just that in the process, you will experience a lot of dangers and tribulations, Jinse, are you afraid?"

"It's useless to be afraid."

Xia Jinse smiled, already smelling the aroma of barbecue from the front: "So no matter what happens, you don't have to worry, as long as we live, we will always be together." ”

Lan Beichen looked into the distance, his narrowed eyes gradually opened, and the corners of his lips touched Xia Jinse's forehead lightly: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you, no matter what you encounter, I will be there." ”

As if he had guessed something, Xia Jinse's eyes began to look around and asked, "Lan Beichen, are you here?" ”

Pulling her long hair, Lan Beichen said softly: "Not yet, wait until we eat first." ”

That's good, don't disturb her eating, it's not convenient to be hungry.

The last trace of clouds on the horizon dimmed, and the glow as red as blood completely disappeared and faded away. The canopy was covered with stars, dotted with stars, and insects chirped one after another.

A roast pig can't eat one-third, the loin is fragrant and tender, and there is no dry wood chewiness as Xia Jinse imagined. Chasing clouds brought a lot of seasonings, Lan Beichen personally cooked, the aroma of a game barbecue was fragrant, and the wild potatoes were dug along the way, and the delicious Xia Jinse had a round stomach.

Wash your hands, a fire in front of you is beeping and burning, and the four of them are sitting around, and the sky is completely dark.

But Lan Beichen and Xia Jinse did not leave to descend the mountain, and kept waiting. Although they couldn't hear anything around them, the feeling became more and more obvious, and a sense of danger permeated them, making them sure of something.

Not long after leaving the city, Xia Jinse knew that it would not be peaceful today.

Although today was her birthday, Lan Beichen had to choose this day to leave, take her to Qingyang Mountain, and lure the enemy deeper. She didn't feel anyone following, but after entering the forest, there were constantly startled birds behind her, and she knew that someone was always following them.

Who the other party is, Xia Jinse doesn't know, it seems that although Lan Beichen has guesses, he can't be sure.

"They are coming at us, or are they ......" Xia Jinse leaned on Lan Beichen, listening and asking.

"I'm not sure, that's why I'll try separately."

"Will something happen at home?" Xia Jinse was a little worried, Mrs. Song couldn't have an accident.

Lan Beichen's hand moved, as if he was clenching something, and said coldly: "Something will definitely happen!" But as long as they dare to come, if they don't leave something behind, will they leave? ”

Suddenly, a sound broke through the air and came sharply.

The sword light flashed, Lan Beichen raised his hand and stabbed out, there was a crisp sound, I don't know what was shot down, and a murderous aura was already rushing in his face. More than a dozen figures flew out of the darkness and rushed towards them in an encirclement.

Xia Jinse's heart jumped, although he had expected it, he was still a little panicked.

Chasing Yun was protecting her, vigilantly staring at the black-clothed people around her, Lan Beichen had already dodged and rushed out.

Suddenly, the sound of a fight sounded, and Lan Beichen was not alone, but eight strong-armed guards were left around him, obviously hiding nearby. Everyone fought, and after a while, they gained the upper hand and killed the three opponents, and Xia Jinse was relieved.

Suddenly, a sword blade stabbed in, and Xia Jinse's eyes shrank.

Someone appeared from behind them, and Chasing Yun had already slashed out a palm like lightning, but there was more than one person on the other side, and a man in black stabbed Xia Jinse's neck, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Chasing Yun was entangled, unable to take care of Xia Jinse, and shouted anxiously: "Princess beware!" ”
