At the end of the unitary hour on March 21, Xia Li, who had finished dinner, went to the backyard to look at the mountains.

The sun is setting in the west, the twilight is heavy, and there is a faint orange between the heavens and the earth, which paves the mountains and forests with a layer of golden light and warm colors. But Xia Li's heart was as cold as falling into an ice cave, so that his body trembled a little.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure on that familiar path - Dangdang, as soon as it walked out of the dense forest, it looked in Xia Li's direction, and flicked its tongue and jumped a few times, it knew that Xia Li must be looking at it.

Xia Li's eyes were hot with excitement.

Then Xiong Xiang, Xiong Da and Xiong Bile came out, and then Ye Feng, Xia Shan, Ye Jin, Ye Li, Xiao Ding, and Zhao Liang got out of the dense forest and walked on the path.

Ye Jin and Ye Li carried deer and wild boars on their shoulders, Xia Shan carried a wild goat, Zhao Liang carried a fox and a badger in his hands, and Xiao Ding had a few pheasants, ducks, hares and other small wild things tied around his waist, only Ye Feng shook his empty hands.

Those people must have come from home, while others had returned to the post station from other mountain roads. They didn't take any chests of treasure, only so much prey. It's not like going into the mountains to hunt for treasure, it's more like going into the mountains to hunt.

Regardless of whether they find the treasure or not, they come back safely, and Xia Li is happy. She covered her mouth and jumped a few times, and trotted to the main room.

Zhu Erjia had just cleaned up the dining table, and Xia was sitting on a chair in a daze.

Xia Shi saw Xia Li running in with a bright face, and nodded to her. She knew that when Xia Shan and Dangdang came back safely, they finally let go of their hearts after a few days. She laughed out loud and clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, God bless." ”

Xia Li whispered again that Ye Feng and the others were also here, and they should have dinner at home. They brought wild animals, and bacon at home, and there were enough vegetables.

Xia Ju walked in with a golden rooster in his arms and asked with a bitter face, "Sister, when Dangdang and everything are not at home for so long, when they come back, I will ignore them." ”

Xia Li smiled, "Well, I want to talk about them in the future, don't play for too long, my family is worried." ”

Xia Ju listened, and ran to play outside the east gate with Zhu Cai, waiting for Dangdang and everything while playing. In the past few days, this is the place where they spend the most, and he finally understands what it means to be long-sighted.

More than two quarters of an hour later, Xia Ju's excited shouts came, "Mother, sister, Dangdang and everything is back, oh, and, ......"

He wanted to say that there was still a third uncle, but he saw so many people walking out of the bamboo forest, and even Xiong Da and Xiong Bile came with him. It's just that Xiong Da and Xiong Bile stood by the bamboo forest and didn't continue to walk, and sat there obediently.

The courtyard immediately became noisy. Xia Li and the others rushed to the east courtyard, and the sunspot also screamed and jumped happily.

A group of people and a herd of animals poured into the east gate and piled their prey in the yard.

Xia Shan said, "Sister, hunting bear and bear bile have helped a lot, quickly take out your snacks and sugar to entertain them." ”

"Huh." Xia smiled and agreed, and hurriedly went into the house to get something.

Xia Li smiled, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

Ye Feng nodded and smiled, "Let's just fix a few dishes, we have to rush to the post station to rest." Then he pointed to a pile of wild animals in the courtyard and said, "These are for you." ”

The others' clothes were dirty and torn, their faces were either yellow mud or black ash, and their hair was scattered. Only Ye Feng's face was clean, his hair was smooth and slippery and tied up on the top of his head, and although his clothes were crumpled and muddy, they were also pulled evenly.

He had a hobby in his previous life. Desperate to complete the task, but as soon as it's over, take care of yourself clean, fresh and refreshing......

Xia Li invited them to sit in the West Chamber to rest, took out a new handkerchief, and brought a copper basin. Ye Feng cleaned his face and hands first, and then the others still finished purifying, and poured tea again.

They were so tired that they didn't even bother to say anything when they sat in their chairs. Their expressions were not relaxed, but they were not solemn either, and Xia Li couldn't guess whether they were looking for the treasure or not.

Xia handed over the pot of sweets and the rice mixed with sugar to Zhu Er, who took it to the bamboo forest and put it in front of Xiong Da Xiong Bile, and they ate it unceremoniously, and Xiong Xiang also ran over to eat it.

The size of the bear bile is slightly larger than the bear-like, and the two little guys weigh about twenty pounds, like two little black pigs, which are not terrible. The blind bear was fat and fierce, and terrible. Xia Ju and Zhu Cai stood by the east gate to look at them, not daring to approach.

Zhu Er watched around beside him, afraid that someone would be scared when he passed by, and also to prevent someone from harming their family.

Xia Li, Xia's family, and Zhu Er's family hurried to make dinner. I took off a few strips of cured meat under the eaves, washed them and put them in a pot to cook. Then he took a pheasant and a hare, and stewed the soup, and braised it. Plus the vegetables in the garden, and that's enough.

Xia Li asked Ye Jin to help cut some venison and mutton, and she made some barbecue for them.

At the same time, it is also necessary to make a pot of lotus white wild boar meatballs.

Xiong Da and Xiong Bile finished eating the snacks, sweets and rice in the basin, and sat down to rest for a while, grinning at Zhu Er and Xia Ju before getting up and entering the bamboo forest. Xiong Xiang reluctantly sent them out of the bamboo forest, Xia Ju and Zhu Cai were no longer afraid of them, and followed Xiong Xiang and Zhu Er to send them together, watching them go home after entering the mountains.

The sky was completely dark, and the stars were shining in the sky. Two more lanterns were hung under the eaves to illuminate the courtyard.

After Xia Li finished the work in the kitchen, he came out to personally wash the petal bath for Dangdang and Xiongxiang. The two little guys who had been away from home for a long time were coquettish, and only let Xia Li wash.

Those men were all in the main courtyard, and Xia Li took the big wooden basin to the east courtyard.

Two large wooden basins filled half a basin of water, one for each of them, and many petals floated on the water. Xia Li tied a lilac apron, pulled the narrow skirt above his wrists, bubbled them, cleaned them again, and whispered and laughed with them while washing. The two little ones hadn't made out with their sister for a long time, and when she said a word, they all yelled at her twice.

After washing, Xia Li got up, only to see Ye Feng standing at the door of the Moon Gate looking over here.

Ye Feng had a kind of embarrassment to be caught peeping. Obviously, he and Zhao Liang were walking around the courtyard together, why did he stop here, and Zhao Liang didn't know when he had left.

He lowered his head and coughed lightly, raised his head and smiled, "Dangdang and Xiong Xiang have made a great contribution this time, and the credit will be credited to you." ”

Xia Li's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and the white pearl teeth were even whiter and brighter in the hazy starlight. said, "It's so embarrassing that I take credit for them." As long as they help Lord Ye, that's fine. ”

Ye Feng smiled, "They have really helped me a lot, and you have taught them very well." Although it was not completely done, it was confirmed and there was a general direction, but it was not easy to do it in view of some circumstances......"
