Chapter 4 Hunting

At noon, the sun was thick, Chu Qingkui dried all the fried tea leaves, and on the other side, Le Zhengzhao's stomach was already grumbling with hunger.

"Hey, that...... I am hungry. Le Zhengzhao rubbed his stomach and looked dissatisfied, Chu Qingkui glanced at the house, there was nothing to eat, and there was not enough rice left, so he went into the house and took his brother's usual hunting bow and arrow.

Le Zhengzhao's eyes lit up, he used to go hunting with his grandson and brother when he was in the imperial city, but this bow and arrow was not as big as in front of him.

"You're hunting with such a big bow and arrow?" Le Zhengzhao swallowed his saliva, looking at this bow and felt that it must not be light, how could this woman's strength be so great?

Chu Qingkui wiped the dust on it, and said in a flat tone: "This is my brother." ”

Le Zhengzhao shut up, after all, he couldn't say anything...... It's my eldest brother who separates your family, right? Le Zhengzhao secretly looked at it, and with her temperament, she was afraid that she would immediately throw herself into the mountains.

Chu Qingkui carried the quiver, and Le Zhengzhao was going to follow - this was an authentic hunting, much more fun than them hunting some poultry in the paddock.

As for why it's poultry, there's no way, who made the most noble little prince unable to pull the bow and shoot arrows? In order to please him, the king's grandsons and brothers only told him that all he hunted was to catch some poultry. Those poultry run slowly, and the little prince also shoots arrows indiscriminately, and the palace people can also be clever when the little prince is clever, and he can also 'make no mistakes' and 'wear Yang in a hundred steps'.

"Actually, I'm also a good hunter, and I caught the most prey in the paddock." Le Zhengzhao patted his chest a little proudly, and Chu Qingkui only responded lightly.

Le Zhengzhao touched his nose - her temperament is too light, which means that she doesn't know who Xiao Wang is, if she knows, she will ......

He didn't dare to think about the second half of the sentence, Chu Qingkui looked cold and calm, but he couldn't see through what was in his heart.

"Don't forget." Chu Qingkui took Le Zhengzhao to the West Mountain, which was different from the place he had just gone, this time he was going to the depths of the West Mountain, and they were all on the edge just now.

Le Zhengzhao was stunned for a moment, touched his whole body, and finally pulled a piece of jade from his neck: "Oh, little ...... I have a word, but you also saw that all the money on me was robbed by the bandits. I'll give you this first, and I'll exchange it with you for the silver later." ”

Chu Qingkui saw that this jade pendant was not like an ordinary jade pendant, transparent and crystalline. Reaching out and touching the texture was even more lubricated, Chu Qingkui retracted his hand: "That's it, it's not worth a jade pendant." She wanted a few taels of silver to be enough, but since he had no money, she didn't want to blackmail him to repay him.

Le Zhengzhao held the jade pendant and couldn't understand her anymore, she was the one who didn't give money and didn't save people at the beginning, and now that the reward is in front of her, she doesn't want it. Don't you dislike this jade pendant?

"Miss Chu, my jade pendant is a fine jade, very valuable!" Le Zhengzhao only thought that she was illiterate, and hurriedly told her a lot about the value of this jade pendant.

Chu Qingkui frowned, heard movement not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move." Wait for me here. ”

Xu is Chu Qingkui's voice was too calm and commanding serious, Le Zhengzhao subconsciously stopped, closed his mouth and stared at Chu Qingkui with wide eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Qingkui shook his head and ran into the bushes in front of him. Le Zhengzhao was a little scared to stay where he was, and he didn't dare to catch up rashly. There was also the sound of chirping and fierce-sounding fighting behind the bushes.

Le Zhengzhao was a little curious and wanted to go over, and just after walking two steps, he heard Chu Qingkui shouting: "Don't walk around." ”

Chu Qingkui didn't expect her to be so lucky that she actually met a badger. Not only can this badger be eaten, but its fur can also be sold for money and at a high price. So in order to prevent the bow and arrow and knife from hurting its fur, Chu Qingkui decided to take it with his bare hands.

It's just that this place is already deep in the West Mountain, maybe there is a beast living in the grass on any tree, and if Le Zhengzhao walks around, if he alarms the beast, it will be more than worth the loss. Don't look at the beasts here, but they are all beasts that have been fighting wits and wisdom with Orion all year round.

After Chu Qingkui's punches and kicks, the badger finally fell. Chu Qingkui exhaled, this thing is really not easy to fight. If she hadn't been killed, she wouldn't have much strength.

He picked up the badger in one hand and picked up the bow in the other. When I opened the bushes, I saw Le Zhengzhao squatting in that place, looking very pitiful.

Shout!

Le Zhengzhao subconsciously turned his head when he heard the sound of arrows, and his face turned pale in an instant. An arrow stuck in the snake's body slashed in front of him, and it felt indescribably disgusting.

Chu Qingkui looked at the little young master over there and was very frightened, raised his eyebrows and lifted the badger thrown on the ground again, and grabbed the dead snake body in his hand.

"Gone."

"I, I can't walk......" Le Zhengzhao was aggrieved, where had he ever seen such a terrifying scene, and his legs were already weak with fright.

Chu Qingkui felt that it was a mistake to bring him up, so he put the bow behind his back, grabbed his back collar with one hand and took the person back half-pulled and half-dragged back. ’

As soon as he arrived at Knorr, Masaaki took a few sips of water, obviously frightened. Chu Qingkui threw the badger and the snake aside and asked, "Didn't you hunt?" Why are you still scared like this? ”

Le Zhengzhao suddenly realized that he was too embarrassed just now, and immediately retorted: "Where are you hunting, we are hunting...... Isn't hunting all about poultry? ”

Chu Qingkui was a little speechless, looking at Le Zhengzhao's heroic and righteous appearance, he actually wanted to laugh a little: "Poultry, domestic poultry and beasts are called poultry." The original mountain we went to just now was full of wild beasts like jackals, tigers and leopards. ”

Le Zhengzhao swallowed his saliva, the snake just now really scared him a lot.

"What happened to that snake just now?"

Chu Qingkui went in and got a knife to deal with the badger, and when he heard Le Zhengzhao ask, he responded: "What do you say, I just came out with the badger and saw a snake beside you." Don't you even feel a big snake next to you? But it's also a shame that you didn't move. ”

Le Zhengzhao glared and looked at Chu Qingkui angrily: "Then if your arrow was crooked just now, or didn't stab me, then I won't ......."

"No, it's so close, I'm sure. It's faster to use a knife, but it's easier to hurt you. ”

After Chu Qingkui finished speaking, Le Zhengzhao stopped talking, it was so close to use the arrow for him, and there was still some beauty in his heart, but the little prince was not beautiful for a long time, and he couldn't be beautiful.

Chu Qingkui began to use the knife, Le Zhengzhao stubbornly looked at Chu Qingkui with a calm face, and after thinking for a long time, he felt that the atmosphere in the courtyard was too stiff, so he looked for words: "What are your father and brother's names?" ”

Chu Qingkui glanced at him and didn't answer, obviously not wanting to mention this. Le Zhengzhao touched his nose, and when he was shocked and frightened just now, the tight strings in his brain loosened, and he felt that he was wishful thinking, and suddenly became angry, and the anger in his heart also came up.

stood up and kicked the bench aside, "Master, I'm really full, I want to see your face." ”

Chu Qingkui glanced at Le Zhengzhao strangely, and didn't care about the stool that was kicked aside. He quickly peeled off the skin of the badger, cleaned the entrails of the badger, washed it and threw it into the pot to boil oil.

She remembered that her father told her that the oil boiled out of this badger was still a medicinal herb, which could clear away heat, detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain.

While boiling oil in the pot, the dried tea leaves were collected into the box. Glancing at the sulking man squatting by the wall, Chu Qingkui took some out and made tea.

Chu Qingkui poured the first pot of tea into a large bowl, and then brewed it again. poured a cup and handed it to Le Zhengzhao: "Drink some first." ”

Le Zhengzhao stared at this cup of tea with strange eyes, Chu Qingkui held it for a long time and saw that he didn't answer, but when he was still playing with his temper, he was about to withdraw his hand. Le Zhengzhao couldn't help but smell the fragrance of tea, and raised his hand to take the tea: "I'm still angry!" ”

Chu Qingkui was a little funny in his heart, this young master looked like he should be in his teens, why didn't he have a younger brother at home who was sensible.

"Well, there's still something in the pot after drinking."

Chu Qingkui is not a person who is easily angry, in her previous life, her uncle and aunt ridiculed her verbally, she used to ignore her, she also felt that what her sister-in-law said made sense, no matter how she said it, it was a family, and it was over after enduring, and it was at that time that she practiced this indifferent appearance.

Until she was pushed off the cliff, she knew that even relatives should be guarded. The compromises of himself and his sister-in-law are only indifferent in exchange. It's just that I haven't been particularly smiling since I was a child, and no one can see that my temperament has changed.

Le Zhengzhao took a sip of the tea, angrily thinking that she wouldn't cook tea, no matter how fragrant it was, it would be green and unpleasant, and when the time came, he would take the opportunity to have a seizure and put on a face, but Le Zhengzhao tasted it and found that it was unexpected. This tea didn't have to be drunk as badly in the imperial city in the past, and even had a different and faint fragrance.

Le Zhengzhao finished drinking one cup and wanted to pour a second cup, but when he saw the big bowl of tea on the table, he was a little curious: "What are you doing with this?" ”

This tea is not good to drink after the first time it has been watered, and the taste is not good.

Chu Qingkui sighed and said, "I'll keep it for drinking, you can drink it from the pot." ”

Le Zhengzhao looked at the big bowl of tea and felt bad in his heart, Chu Qingkui looked cold and unexpectedly good, and his temper was exceptionally tolerant.

The badger oil in the pot was almost boiled, Chu Qingkui took the boiled badger into the house and chopped it into pieces, and after taking out the badger oil, he washed the pot and began to fry the tea.

Rice was still cooking in the pot in the house, and it was almost ready by now. Le Zhengzhao looked at her for a moment, her temper just now was gone, and she was a little distressed in her heart.

After a while, Chu Qingkui finished the meal and brought it to the table: "There is still rice in the pot, you eat slowly." ”

Le Zhengzhao saw that she didn't mean to sit down and eat together, so he hurriedly asked, "Eh, what are you going to do?" ”

Chu Qingkui still didn't reply, but just went out with a bamboo basket. Le Zhengzhao has something in his heart, and this meal is not delicious. After hesitating for a while, he took out the jade pendant in his arms, and after thinking about it again, he seemed to be determined to do one thing.
