"Oh, isn't it cold when I see it, I'm thinking about going up the mountain again, to see if I can catch some game, first, I can add some thick leather to your sisters to make clothes, and second, I can also fight tooth sacrifices, this time of autumn harvest, it really tires people......"

Shi Lei had a signature smile on his face, but now when he faced Biru, he was no longer so nervous, which led to stammering.

"Up the mountain?"

Biru's eyes lit up: "Is it fun on the mountain?" Is there a lot of stuff? I've only heard of it, but I've never followed it up the mountain......"

"It's okay not to go, you better stay at home honestly."

Shi Lei smiled heartily: "Although this mountain is very beautiful, there are all kinds of fruits, and there are many small animals, but there are also many places that are deadly!" Not to mention that the mountains are full of traps, and only experienced people like us can avoid the past, and even if others take one more step, they may fall into the trap......"

"Then tell me about your good markings, and I won't know?"

Biru said unconvinced, but before Shi Lei could say anything, she sighed first: "I knew that I would follow you up the mountain when I wasn't busy a few days ago, but now the tavern is so busy, my father-in-law, uh, my sister's belly is already big, I really can't leave......"

"Don't worry, tell me what you want, as long as I can meet it on the mountain, I will definitely bring it back to you!"

Hearing Biru say this, Shi Lei hurriedly spoke: "There are foxes on the mountain, and I heard that the daughters of the rich and noble families use fox skins to sew big ...... But this fox is so cunning, sometimes even if you encounter it, you can't catch them without a suitable trap, if you can catch it, I'll get it for you and Ruan Niangzi, okay? But you have to promise me, wait at home obediently......"

Seeing that Shi Lei seemed to be coaxing a child, Biru laughed out loud with a "poof": "You treat me as a three-year-old child, if you don't take me up the mountain, do I have to follow?" Don't worry, I'm very sorry for my life! ”

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was also a little sneering: "I'm not, isn't it worrying......"

"Okay, then you go early and come back early, don't worry about getting us any fox skins, my sister and I don't need it, if it's really cold after a while, it's a big deal to buy a few, you know, the business of our tavern has been doing very well recently!"

Biru pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flowed, her spirit was flying, and she was stunned all of a sudden.

It turned out that in order not to make people suspicious, Jing Yuan and Bi Ru opened this tavern, but they didn't expect that the business was still very prosperous, especially during the autumn harvest, the men were very tired during the day, and they wanted to find some wine to drink at night to relieve fatigue, plus Jing Yuan They have a place here, so they came in groups to drink, chat and brag, and the life was happy.

And because everyone understands that Jing Yuan is pregnant, they won't mind if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, after all, Ruan Niangzi took out fifteen taels of silver to build a school in Baijiazhuang, even if you are no longer sensible, you know that Ruan Niangzi is kind to Baijiazhuang!

Because Jing Yuan's belly is older, it has been more than seven months, so he simply went to the town to find a Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong came to check Jing Yuan's pulse every seven days, so as to ensure the safety of Jing Yuan and the child in his belly.

Fortunately, although the fetus had some signs of instability in the first few months, but these days, the fetus is surprisingly well-behaved, although sometimes there will be fetal movements, and it will play in Jing Yuan's belly, but it did not make Jing Yuan suffer more, which makes Jing Yuan very grateful in his heart.

When I give birth, I naturally want to go back to the palace, but it is still inconclusive whether I will return to Baijiazhuang after giving birth.

Therefore, while cherishing the days with the villagers in Baijiazhuang, Jing Yuan was also secretly anxious, and he didn't know whether the child in his belly was male or female, and he didn't know what his fate would be in the future......

It was only occasionally when Chen Pingzhi's companion came to deliver wine that Jing Yuan could hear some news from the palace, such as the Queen Mother who occasionally felt a cold a few days ago, and Wan Concubine Niangniang went to serve with a big belly, and the Queen Mother recovered quickly, but Wan Concubine Niangniang was unstable because of hard work and almost miscarried.

For example, the emperor attaches great importance to the queen's mother, not to mention the rewards every once in a while, and even moved directly to Fengyi Palace to live.

Another example is that King Shun is now like a fish in water in the court, relying on his identity to give the emperor no face in the court, and he also called it "righteous and persistent", how disgusting and disgusting it is......

But these are not important, the most important thing is to tell Jing Yuan to take good care of the child in the belly, anyway, this place is not far from the capital, once you feel unwell, return to Beijing immediately, there is the best imperial doctor in the palace who can take care of Jing Yuan.

But it's all clichés, Jing Yuan just responded casually, and then drove Chen Pingzhi, who had finished unloading the wine, away.

These are just extra words, now that Shi Lei is going up the mountain, Biru has a few words, and the two separate.

Going up the mountain is also a familiar road for Shi Lei, after all, he has lived here since he was a child, and he is extremely familiar with every grass and tree here.

If you can catch a few more pheasants and hares today, then the meat for this time will be enough, if you can have a surplus, you can marinate them and save them for the winter, well, but the ones sent to the Ruan sisters must be packed up in advance, if not, I am afraid that they will be frightened by the blood on the pheasants and rabbits......

While thinking in his heart, Shi Lei subconsciously relaxed his steps and looked around, and sure enough, he was very lucky today, and suddenly heard the sound of pheasants crowing.

The pheasants in this mountain are different from the chickens raised at home, they are more alert, their feathers are bright and long, mostly black, and they are three feet long from head to tail.

The meat is firm, and if it is well cooked, it will not taste worse than the taste of dragon liver and phoenix pith.

Although he has never eaten dragon liver and phoenix marrow, Shi Lei always feels that the food he has hunted is the best.

According to the direction of the voice, Shi Lei tiptoed to him, and in front of him was indeed a pheasant with black and shiny coat, patrolling his territory proudly, as if he did not realize that the danger was coming.

Shi Lei was overjoyed, and hurriedly tiptoed out an arrow feather from the basket on his back, put it on the bow, and after aiming, he pulled the bow full, and the arrow shot at the pheasant at a fast speed!

But since this pheasant has been living in the forest for so long, its vigilance is naturally very strong, although it did not notice Shi Lei's approach, but when the arrow was shot, he still heard the sound of breaking the air for the first time, and hurriedly flapped his wings and flashed to the side, which was able to dodge this arrow!

Seeing that the shot was empty, Shi Lei was annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and hurriedly took out another arrow feather from the brain basket, and he didn't think about it, so he pulled the bow and shot it again!

Because I had already thought about the direction of the pheasant's running in advance, this time I calculated the distance to shoot the arrow, and when the pheasant passed there, there was a scream, and the arrow was shot directly at the pheasant's neck!

But maybe it's because the vitality is too tenacious, although he was shot, but the pheasant is still running forward at great speed, Shi Lei's heart sank, took out an arrow again, put on the bow, only to hear the "whoosh", the arrow was impartial again, and shot at the pheasant's body.

Now the pheasant couldn't run anymore, and fell directly to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died.

Shi Lei carefully checked whether there were any traps around, and then cautiously stepped forward and found that the pheasant was indeed dead, so he pulled out the arrow feathers from the pheasant's body, wiped the blood stains on it, and threw it back into the basket again, and the pheasant was naturally put away in the basket.

"This pheasant is so big, it's a big supplement to think about it, if you go back and send it to Ruan Niangzi, my little sister will definitely be very happy......

This can be regarded as a victory, but when I thought that I said that I wanted to give Ruan Xiaomei a fox skin when I came, I began to pray in my heart that God would let me meet a fox, so that I would have a good chance to fulfill my "promise"!

Shi Lei was thinking about it in his heart, and met two hares on the road, which was just a small matter for Shi Lei, and he basically took the hare down without much effort.

I just looked up, and the morning had passed, and looking at the current sun, I was afraid that it would be noon soon.

At this time, Shi Lei realized that he seemed to be a little tired, and he thought that he would go to eat first, and then go hunting after he was full of food and drink, even if he couldn't find the fox, he could hunt something else, and it would be a big deal to come back in two days.

In fact, there is a small house on this mountain, which is specially used for people who go up to the mountain to hunt for rest, because everyone has been relying on the mountain for several lifetimes, so everyone has developed a conventional rule:

There is firewood and water all year round, only dry food, which can be used to make a fire for cooking, but how much firewood and water is used must be replenished when leaving, otherwise, the next time there is an emergency, it may be him who has no material support.

Shi Lei doesn't know when this house was built, anyway, it seems that his father has been there since he was a child, and everyone has been abiding by this rule for more than ten years, without exception.

It's just that after walking a few steps, Shi Lei's ears suddenly sounded a cry for help, listening to this voice, it seems that he is still a woman!

Shi Lei's heart immediately "chuckled".

"It is said that sometimes there are female ghosts in this mountain, who specialize in confusing men's minds and eating men's spirits.

Talking to himself, Shi Lei held the short knife in his hand and looked around vigilantly......
