Needless to say, it must have been when everyone was watching the fox and the goshawk fight, and the yellow sheep took the opportunity to run away.

This time, Song Yiming's mouth was opened, obviously unhappy in his heart.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again in front of him, and then he saw General Tuoba Gao appear with his team of men and horses.

Tuoba Gao asked loudly when he was far away, "Che'er, is it your jade flute whistle?" But it doesn't sound right. ”

Gu Xuebin pointed at Su Jinyao with a smile and said, "It's Jinyao." She couldn't bear to watch the goshawk hurt the pair of fire foxes and let them go. ”

"Haha" Tuoba Gao also laughed twice, and galloped to the front and said: "Forget it, it's getting late, let's go back." If you don't catch it, you'll come back tomorrow, and I'm not in a hurry to eat a roast lamb or collect two fox skins anyway. ”

Su Jinyao knew that it was her whim, and everyone gained nothing. But when she looked back, she smiled and said, "Ha, it's not for nothing, we still have more than a dozen wolf skins." ”

Only then did everyone realize that when they rushed over before, whether it was archery, hidden weapons, or sword attacks, they had already dealt a certain blow to the wolves.

It's just that some wolves were slightly injured, so they withdrew with the wolves.

And those wolves who were seriously injured were either lying on the ground with only one breath left, or barely supporting themselves and still crawling towards the distance.

However, where the seriously injured wolf crawled, a blood-red mark was dragged, and as long as the blood trail was followed, it would not be a problem to harvest a dozen wolves.

Listening to Su Jinyao's words, everyone also laughed. A dozen wolf skins may not be the main thing, but it is finally a windfall from this roundup.

Then, Song Yiming and Zhang Chengliang's men chased the seriously injured wolf back, bled it, tied it up, and brought it back to the camp.

The wolf meat can be eaten, but it is not very tasty, and it is much worse than the delicious yellow sheep.

Therefore, there is no special wolf meat for dinner, just a meal made by a guy with a little cooking skills. Although it is not delicate enough, it has the rough flavor of Mobei.

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin did not make anything special, but had this dinner with General Tuoba and several major generals in the army.

During the banquet, everyone was also drinking and chatting, and when it came to the rise of these people, their voices also became louder, but they seemed quite enthusiastic.

It was noisy until late at night, and although the atmosphere was lively, no one was really drunk. Song Yiming and the other two generals went to inspect the camp.

And Su Jinyao had no choice but to separate from Gu Xuebin. Su Jinyao and A Ning went to the camp tent that the previous study had been converted; And Gu Xuebin was the eldest reluctantly took Mo to another tent to rest.

Su Jinyao washed up, only took off her robe and lay down, pulling the thin quilt over her body. The conditions in the barracks are harsh, so she doesn't have so many requirements

A-Ning was slightly stiff when he lay down. Lying on the board bed cautiously motionless, looking a little awkward.

Su Jinyao knew that this was because A-Ning's menstrual period had arrived.

Before Su Jinyao checked her pulse, she found that A-Ning had severe symptoms of body cold, so in these days of every month, the pain in her stomach was not easy to bear. This is also the reason why Su Jinyao insisted on letting A-Ning stay in the barracks.

However, the reason for the woman can't be said clearly, and the stunned young boy doesn't understand this, so he will use a disdainful look to understand A-Ning's poor spirit.

Su Jinyao turned her head to look at A-Ning and said, "When your menstrual affairs stop, I'll prescribe a prescription for you." ”

Sounds outside the tent

Ah Ning slowly turned his head after hearing this, and said, "Thank you, master." And he said, "Actually, I endured it and passed." Maybe I've been riding a horse lately, so it's so painful. ”

Su Jinyao sighed and said, "You are a woman, you have to endure more training when you are trained by the shadow guard, and your body has also fallen into the root of the disease." The prescription I gave you to drink once a month can have a relieving effect, and the symptoms will disappear after half a year. As long as you don't get cold, you won't have any more obvious attacks in the future. But complete removal is unlikely unless ...... After you get married, you have a child, and then you have a good confinement. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say that she would marry and have children, A-Ning fell silent again.

In the entire tent, except for the breathing sound of Su Jinyao and A Ning, no other sound could be heard.

Outside the tent, because the wind and sand in Mobei are non-stop, it is even more "lively" than inside the tent.

Su Jinyao saw that A-Ning was silent, and she stopped talking. She wasn't a gossip person either, so she turned over and turned inside.

Because this is living in a tent, Su Jinyao is facing a thick cloth at this time. And as the wind blew, you could see the tent swaying slightly in front of you.

But after looking at it for a while, Su Jinyao felt that something was wrong.

Because this marching tent is different from ordinary simple tents, it is not a single layer of fabric, but a large tent made of bamboo and sewn with thick ox tendon canvas and felt.

It stands to reason that even if it can't withstand a strong house, it is no problem to withstand a little wind.

But why is the tent still shaking back and forth? Unless it's ...... Someone outside pushing a tent?

With this thought, Su Jinyao subconsciously listened carefully. But with her ears, she couldn't hear the footsteps or breathing of people outside.

Not to mention Su Jinyao, even A-Ning didn't have the slightest reaction, obviously there shouldn't be a talent outside their tent.

But the tent shook so strangely, Su Jinyao really couldn't rest assured. So she sat up, put on her shoes, and tried to go out.

A-Ning also got up immediately and asked, "Master, do you want to be respectful?" ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "No, I can't sleep and want to breathe outside." Then he said, "This barracks should be very safe, you don't have to follow me." ”

A-Ning pursed her lips and didn't answer, but obviously she wouldn't agree with Su Jinyao's decision, so she just got up and followed Su Jinyao silently.

Su Jinyao had no choice, so she had to take A-Ning with her. But she added, "Don't get too close to me, I'm just walking around the tent." ”

A-Ning agreed this time. So when Su Jinyao walked out of the tent, A-Ning was just standing at the door of the tent and watching.

Su Jinyao circled around the tent for half a circle, and A-Ning was more than a dozen steps behind her, but she kept a position where she could be seen and could approach at any time.

Su Jinyao walked slowly, trying to lighten her steps. I walked quietly to the back of the tent, where her sheets were, and sure enough, I didn't see anyone.

It's just that Su Jinyao saw a pit on the ground. A pit the size of a bowl and about a foot deep.

The pit is not very irregularly rounded, the walls of the pit are not smooth, and there are several deep grooves on the edge of the pit, which obviously seem to have been dug out by the claws of animals.

Su Jinyao frowned, thinking of the "rustling" sound she heard just now

It's the sound of wind and sand, and it's supposed to be the sound of some animal digging the soil here.

Then she saw the tent swaying gently, and it should be that the animal that was digging here just now accidentally touched the tent.

Su Jinyao frowned, curious about what animal was digging outside her tent?

Judging by the size of the pit and the claw marks, this animal is a little larger than a cat and about the size of a small dog.

Moreover, the digging action is so fast, only a slight "rustling" sound is made, which proves that it is usually an animal that is very good at making holes.

Su Jinyao took a closer look at the pit and found that the pit was not dug from one side, but from both sides. In other words, at least two animals were digging the soil here facing each other, so they quickly dug out such a pit.

It's about the same size as a small dog, it's very good at burrowing, and it's two?

Su Jinyao couldn't help but flash a few animals with the right number in front of her, but she couldn't be sure for a while.

What's even more strange is that with such a large barracks, her tent is in the center, why would that little animal venture to come here directly to dig a pit?

Seeing Su Jinyao standing here in a daze, Ah Ning immediately walked over and asked in a low voice, "Master, is there anything wrong?" ”

Su Jinyao pointed to the pit on the ground, shook her head and said, "I don't know if it's a rabbit or a gerbil, or a fox?" ”

Fox! Su Jinyao's mind flashed again, and a pair of cute fire foxes popped up in front of her.

Su Jinyao smiled, shook her head and said, "It's okay, that little thing has run away, let's go back to sleep." Maybe it's just a few gerbils. ”

A-Ning didn't see any suspicion. It is a desert and the animals are especially active at night. It's not surprising that two gerbils are burrowing here once in a while.

Therefore, A-Ning casually pushed the surrounding soil with his feet and buried the small pit. Then I stepped on it a few more times and stomped on the soft soil.

Su Jinyao didn't stop Ah Ning's move, and when Ah Ning filled in the pit, the two of them went back to sleep.

After lying down again, Su Jinyao was still facing the tent, but this time she didn't see the tent shake for a long time. If you listen closely, there is only the sound of the wind and the "rustling" sound.

After waiting for a long time, Su Jinyao was also a little sleepy. After all, I was tired from traveling for so many days, so I fell asleep.

It doesn't matter if it's a fox, a gerbil or a rabbit outside, at least the little things can't hurt her.

slept until early in the morning, Su Jinyao heard a subtle "rustle" sound again, and it was very fast and urgent.

Su Jinyao opened her worried eyes and saw that the tent in front of her shook slightly twice. But it didn't move again.

Su Jinyao frowned, and did not immediately get up and go out to check, but listened carefully. This time, you can hear a very small "squeak, squeak" sound, like the small animal that plows the soil is also struggling.

But the sound only stopped after a few slight sounds, and it never sounded again.

Su Jinyao turned over, and saw that A Ning on the wooden bed opposite also woke up, and at the same time was listening intently.

Su Jinyao made a motion to get up towards A-Ning, then gently got off the ground to put on her shoes, wrapped herself in clothes and walked out of the tent.

A-Ning also ran out after him, and the two of them walked around the back of the tent at the same time......

The baby buried by the fox?

Su Jinyao and A Ning had only run a few steps, and before they had completely circled the back of the tent, they saw two fiery figures in the morning light jumping in front of Su Jinyao.

It's the fire foxes! One is a pair of black eyes, while the other is a dark green pupil, a pair of little guys who are very energetic and smart.

This pair of fire foxes and Su Jinyao bumped into each other, and the two little ones stopped at the same time to look at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao didn't move, let alone punch the silver needle, and quietly made a gesture to A-Ning, signaling her not to rush forward.

After staring at each other like this for a moment, the little fox with dark green eyes bared its teeth at Su Jinyao. But it doesn't look fierce, it doesn't look like a threat, it's a bit like a ...... A lovely smile.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then saw the little fox "smiling" at her looking back at the direction the two of them had just run out.

Su Jinyao also looked over curiously, but it was still behind the tent, and she couldn't see anything else from this position at all.

Just when Su Jinyao's attention was distracted, the little guy jumped at the same time, and the big fiery tail swayed twice before turning around and running in the other direction.

When Su Jinyao came back to her senses, the pair of little foxes had already run past two tents, and they disappeared after another sharp turn.

A-Ning took a few steps forward, and with her light skills, she should be able to catch up with the pair of foxes. But she immediately stopped again and retreated to Su Jinyao's side.

As a shadow guard, Ah Ning can't be "diverted from the mountain" by two foxes. Therefore, he chose to stay by Su Jinyao's side for the first time.

Su Jinyao watched the pair of little guys disappear, and then continued to walk forward curiously, walking to the back of their tent.

Sure enough, a pit appeared again in the ground. This time it was a little bigger and a little deeper than last night. The soil on the edge of the pit is very scattered, and it is not organized into two piles, so it can be seen that the excavation should be in a hurry.

Two steps closer, Su Jinyao found that the two little foxes had not only dug a pit, but also had traces of backfilling after digging.

Because the soil in the pit was very soft, and there were fox footprints on it. It seems that it took half of the effort to fill in the soil, and Su Jinyao came to them before they ran away.

At this time, Gu Xuebin and Mo also ran over. Because the tents on both sides were not far away, and the movement of Su Jinyao and A Ning running out was not small, it alarmed Gu Xuebin and Mo.

Gu Xuebin came to Su Jinyao's side very nervously, first hugged her into his arms, looked her up and down, and made sure that she was fine, before asking, "Why did you run out suddenly?" The pit in the earth is ......"

"The pair of fire foxes that were released during the hunt yesterday." Su Jinyao pointed to the pit and said, "I came to dig it once last night, but I didn't dig it that big." When we found out, we came out to check, and the pair of foxes ran away. I didn't expect to come to dig in the morning. ”

Gu Xuebin also felt strange, so he went to the pit to check. After looking at it twice, Gu Xuebin frowned, squatted down, and obviously found something.

Su Jinyao hurriedly reminded: "Che, be careful." Did you find anything? ”

Gu Xuebin pointed to the pit and said, "This fox seems to have buried something here." It could also be a trap. ”

Of course, it's just a joke to say it's a "trap". Su Jinyao also squatted on the edge of the pit curiously, and found that a small strip of cloth was exposed in the crack of the soil that had been backfilled indiscriminately.

Strips of cloth are

It has been twisted and twisted into the shape of a cloth rope, but the color is no longer clear, as if it has been stained with a layer of oil sludge after using it for a long time.

Su Jinyao heard that small animals have a hobby of collecting "treasures". For example, crows will take shiny things into their nests, penguins like to collect stones, and foxes, squirrels, etc., will take anything they think is precious back to their nests and hide them.

Could this little strip of cloth be used by the fox as a nest? But the fox is very sensitive to smells, such a dirty strip of cloth, not as thick as a little finger, can it make a nest?

What's more, running into this barracks to dig a hole to make a nest is definitely not the habit of animals.

These reasons don't make sense, Su Jinyao also frowned, I don't know what this pair of fire foxes suddenly came over twice and buried this thing.

Gu Xuebin glanced at Mo, then got up and pulled Su Jinyao back two steps.

Mo immediately drew his short sword and gently poked it twice under the floating soil in the pit with the sharp point.

A Ning was on guard to the side, in case something like a hidden weapon came out of this pit and injured Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin.

Of course, if the fox can also make a dark weapon, then it is really going to become a refinement.

Mo didn't test anything with the tip of his sword, so he gently picked up the cloth rope and picked out a sign from it.

The sign was so stained with dirt that it looked dirtier than the rope, and I didn't know what it was. But at least it proves that this thing has no mechanism.

"Don't touch it with your hands, just put it on the ground." Su Jinyao was worried that the brand was poisonous, so she motioned Mo to put it on the ground.

Then she called out her Divine Gu King to check. The Divine Gu King flew over and flew back quickly, proving that the thing wasn't poisonous at all.

Su Jinyao nodded at A-Ning, A-Ning walked over and carried the cloth rope and carried the sign in front of Su Jinyao.

Gu Xuebin had already taken out a handkerchief, spread it in his hand, and motioned for A-Ning to put the sign on the handkerchief.

After taking the brand, Gu Xuebin closed his handkerchief and wiped it vigorously a few times, then opened it again and showed it to Su Jinyao.

Their attention was on the sign, and by this time the sign had already been revealed. It wasn't a wooden or metal sign, it was a tooth domino.

The material may be ivory or bone, the size of two mahjong pieces, similar to the shape of a shield, and the color is oily cream yellow.

Gu Xuebin turned the handkerchief over, wiped the brand vigorously again, and when he took it out again, he said: "This is the Three Realms card." ”

"What are the Three Realms cards?" Su Jinyao looked over curiously, and then said, "This is a parietal skull?" ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "The Three Realms card is made of the parietal bone of the sika deer's skull, and there are three lines extending from the center point on it, dividing this domino into three interfaces. ”
