Chapter 53: Encounter
Looking at the stunned old hunter with the bow and arrows on his back, Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile, lowered her head, and began to sort out the medicine basket seriously.
Xiao Ru's face was also a little sneering, the big yellow dog with strong body and strong limbs at her feet was whining and biting her trouser legs, and the fat pheasant that should have been given to the owner was not completely out of breath, and it was also sent to Xiao Ru flatteringly.
Therefore, Xiaoyan muttered to herself that her own young lady is really the common 'enemy' of all hunters who raise hounds, even the most loyal hound has to 'defect' when he meets his own young lady.
"Ahem, it's called rhubarb, it's cute." Xiao Ru smiled bitterly and touched the head of the big yellow dog, quietly comforted a few words, and hurriedly took Xiaoyan to turn around and walk away, the old hunter who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes and looked quite honest was already on fire......
Finally walked to a place out of the sight of the old hunter, and the barking of the hound behind him gradually subsided, Xiao Ru breathed a sigh of relief, whistled, and rushed down from the mountainside obediently and agilely, looking at such an elegant and mighty figure, Xiao Ru smiled, no wonder there is such a saying that the dragon walks the tiger, the tiger's footsteps are really very imposing.
"Young lady, this road is not easy to walk."
They were not walking on a path that had already been trodden by herbalists or hunters, but was covered with weeds and thorns, and occasionally infested with snakes and rats. Xiaoyan complained while thinking that it would be nice if Meng Nier was here, that Nizi was different from herself, she was strong and strong, and she used the woodcutter very neatly, and with her, these thorns would be cut much faster.
"Take a break." Xiao Ru's face also saw sweat stains, a little wheezing, and regardless of the mud on the ground, she pulled Xiaoyan and sat on the ground. The hat on his head, the veil covering his entire face, was also taken off and set aside. By the way, I sent Obedient to explore the way, and now Obedient has been trained by Xiaoru to become a rather amazing assistant for collecting medicine and hunting.
Xiaoyan hurriedly took out the food box and water bag and asked her young lady to use some snacks.
Recently, there have been a lot of troubles at home, Lou Yi and Ding Feng are busy looking for people, Xiao Ru herself looks at Xiao Lou Brother every day, and also makes the beasts and animals in the city and outside the city pay more attention, if you meet a new face, you will pass the news, but unfortunately, there is someone from other places, but the lady in the palace has not had any information so far.
Xiaoru even felt that the lady might have gone away a long time ago, but the old man said that Lou Yi and Ding Feng had already found out that Concubine Jing only brought a palace maid who was married back then, and she didn't bring much money, so she shouldn't be able to go far, plus, the nurse who helped Niangniang escape has been caught, although there is no specific news, but from her words, you can guess that Niangniang is not too far away.
Xiaoru has always been very strange, since she has caught someone, with royal means, how can she not get the news, not to mention an old nurse, who is a gangster who has committed a heinous crime, fell into the hands of the government, and should even be recruited for the eight generations of ancestors, and then slowly thought that this nurse is an old man who has served the emperor for a long time, no matter how anxious the emperor is, it is impossible not to give her dignity at all, and use a big punishment on her, so if you can't find anyone, you can't blame Lou Yi and Ding Feng for everything.
Of course, these are none of Xiaoru's business, and she doesn't know what that lady looks like, in addition to letting the little animals pay more attention, it can't help, taking advantage of today's good weather, Xiaoru took the girl and the obedient, took the tools, went up the mountain to collect medicine, the ancient environment was good, and some years of medicinal materials were everywhere, so it was a good profession to be a doctor in ancient times.
Xiao Ru was eating a snack, and suddenly a sharp scream came from the front, and after that, the obedient tiger roar also sounded.
"Young lady...... Xiaoyan was startled and stood up suddenly, "It can't be a good injury!" ”
Xiao Ru also frowned, the mountain road they are walking on now is very remote, and the local hunters generally can't come, how can there be anyone?
"Don't worry, obediently won't hurt people casually, let's go over and take a look." Xiao Ru put on a veil and hat, walked towards the place where the sound came from, bypassed a small forest, and didn't go far before her obedient figure appeared in front of her.
Xiao Ru looked fixedly, next to the cliff, and the obedient confrontation was a young woman who looked twenty-five or sixteen, her eyebrows were deep, and she looked very upright, although her face was frightened, but the scimitar in her hand was very steady, and her steps did not retreat, firmly protecting another woman who was paralyzed on the ground with a dirty face.
Xiao Ru just wanted to speak, but the whole person froze and froze—not far behind the young woman who was confronting the obedient, a large rucksack half a person tall stood.
It's not strange to have a rucksack, but if this rucksack is a camouflage travel bag that Xiao Ru is very familiar with, the wide and sturdy straps, the waterproof and fireproof canvas, and the slightly rusty zipper, all show that this thing is by no means something that can be made in this era......
Xiao Ru looked at the two embarrassed women in surprise, and carefully looked at the dress of the two, although it was messy, but the hairstyles of the two were all popular high buns in the palace, and although they were wearing coarse cloth clothes of ordinary people, Xiao Ru noticed that the woman who fell to the ground was wearing a jade pendant around her waist, which was moist in color, and it was obviously extremely precious......
These two people don't seem to be crossing, it's just, how can there be this type of travel bag......
Xiao Ru hesitated so much, and forgot to stop the obedient, but obediently, when she saw her master coming, she was immediately in high spirits, and rushed forward, and the woman holding the scimitar was so frightened that she took a step back, staggered under her feet, and actually kicked on the travel bag, one bag per person, and rolled to the bottom of the cliff......
Xiao Ru was frightened, hurriedly pounced, grabbed the woman's arm, pulled her to sit on the ground, but, the travel bag rolled and fell off the cliff, after a while, there was a muffled sound of entering the water, Xiao Ru hurriedly walked over and looked down, a small river could be vaguely seen below, the water was turbulent, and I didn't know if the travel bag could be found.
The woman was shocked, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, she looked up and saw Xiao Ru looking at the cliff, with a look of regret on her face, and for a while she thought that Xiao Ru was distressed because she had lost something, and couldn't help but feel a little more good about Xiao Ru, who was dressed as a young woman in front of her, and said in a trembling voice: "This lady, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, the slave family would probably ...... That's right, Tiger...... Madame......"
As soon as she hurriedly turned her head, she saw that the head of the tiger actually leaned on the head of her wife, arched back and forth, and was so frightened that she almost fainted......
