Unconsciously, the sun is hidden in the West Mountain, and the orange light and shadow spread all over the Huaguo Mountain, covering the flowers and trees in the mountain with a thin coat, which is beautiful beyond words.

Xu Jiao sighed: "Why didn't I find such a beautiful scenery on the mountain before? ”

"It's beautiful!"

Xu Jiao was startled, and turned her head sideways to see Zhao Yuanli beside her.

"When did you come back?" Xu Jiao asked.

"For a while, you've been drawing very well." Zhao Yuan said, squatting down to look at the painting on the wooden board she rested on her lap.

Xu Jiao got up, put aside the finishing painting, and asked without looking back: "How much did you fight?" ”

Zhao Yuan's chin raised behind her: "Roe deer, hare, pheasant, turtle dove, let alone seven or eight." ”

Xu Jiao got up and walked in the opposite direction and said, "I'll go collect firewood and make a barbecue stand, and you are responsible for cleaning it in the stream over there." ”

Zhao Yuan frowned: "I wash? ”

Xu Jiao said: "Naturally, haven't you heard of doing it yourself? You don't bring your own guards, don't try to call me, let's just divide labor and cooperate to perform our own duties. ”

Zhao Yuan's brows moved: "In the world, you are the first person who dares to call me so blatantly!" ”

Xu Jiao: "How did this become a call?" You see, I have assigned you not only the work of cleaning, but also the work of building a shelf to collect firewood. ”

Zhao Yuan frowned for a long time, and resigned himself to using the tip of his sword to pick up a bunch of small beasts on the ground that had just died or not completely died, and walked towards the mountain stream pointed by Xu Jiao, but as soon as he took two steps, a big cat suddenly appeared in the forest, and a bunch of dying but uninjured little beasts were thrown in front of him.

"Why, you brute want me to do the work for you?" Zhao Yuan's tone was displeased.

When Xu Jiao heard this, she stopped and said, "If you treat it well, it will reward you ten." ”

Zhao Yuan pouted: "I don't believe it!" Although he said it, the tip of the sword picked up several small beasts together.

It was not dark yet, and when Xu Jiao found firewood and set up the grill, Zhao Yuan also used a vine to string a bunch of cleaned little beasts and came back.

Xu Jiao made preparations this time, all the ingredients were available, and the good firewood in the mountains was inexhaustible, and the pheasant was roasted very smoothly, and the aroma was overflowing, which provoked Zhao Yuan next to him to swallow his saliva.

Xu Jiao has tasted roe deer meat with Zhao Yin on the way back to Beijing last time, and she is reluctant to eat it a second time, so Zhao Yuan has beaten a small piece of roe deer this time, except for Zhao Yuan, the rest of it has gone into the belly of the big cat.

Xu Jiao has been serving Zhao Yuan and the big cat after gnawing on the pheasant.

Zhao Yuan eats quickly, but very elegantly, Xu Jiao is very incomprehensible, he and Zhao Yin eat like this, obviously eat quickly, but you just can't see his wolfing embarrassment, is this the unique ability of nobles?

Xu Jiao looked at him, a small pile of chicken bones, a small pile of rabbit bones, and a small pile of turtledove skeletons, thinking, can this guy still eat?

Zhao Yuanwu pinched a rabbit leg and put it in his mouth, his eyes staring at the oily roe deer meat on the shelf: "This roe deer meat is as you said, it is a little fat, I don't like it very much, you can roast some of them for me." ”

Xu Jiao looked at her feet and was very embarrassed: "The last one." ”

Zhao Yuan frowned, got up and took a closer look, and finally pointed at the big cat: "How much did you eat?" ”

Xu Jiao was displeased: "Don't always call it a beast, people have a name, it's called a big cat." My big cat is growing up, as the saying goes, half the size of the child eats the poor old man, my big cat is generally their own mountain hunting beasts to solve their own rations, much stronger than a half size. ”

Zhao Yuan threw away the bones in his hand and yelled at her: "You liared the ghost!" I hunted seven or eight game by myself, I only ate three here, you one, where did the rest go? You tell me. ”

Xu Jiao glanced at the big cat weakly: "Liu Yu and Zhang Chao have been sent to the lobby by me in the past few days, and they can only tie the big cat to their side as a bodyguard, and everyone has been wronged for a few days. ”

"Then you can't use my rations to help this beast!" Zhao Yuan looked heartbroken.

Xu Jiao touched the tiger head of the big cat: "How did I know that you could eat so much?" ”

Zhao Yuan was speechless.

The big cat stared at the last roe deer, and his eyes glowed.

Zhao Yuan's long sword came out of its sheath and pointed directly at the big cat: "Don't rob me again!" ”

Xu Jiao couldn't cry or laugh, did her best to roast the roe deer, and reluctantly handed it to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan took it, took a bite, stared at her hatefully and chewed vigorously, as if biting her flesh.

Xu Jiao lowered her head and hugged the big cat's head to comfort: "It's okay, it's okay, we don't care about him in general, let the prince take you to catch more roasted food another day." ”

As soon as the words fell, a barbecue roe deer appeared in front of the big cat.

Xu Jiao raised her head: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Yuan looked at her and the big cat beside her condescendingly: "The smell is too strong, give it to eat." ”

Xu Jiao reached out when she was fine, but the big cat had already taken it away, chewing and swallowing it in three or two.

Xu Jiao looked at it speechlessly, hating iron and steel: "It's too useless!" ”

"It's just a beast left and right, how much can it do?" Zhao Yuan snorted from his nostrils disapprenosingly.

Xu Jiao was about to defend a few sentences, when he looked up, he saw him staring at his back with a bow and arrow, and suddenly shot an arrow, and then quickly stepped forward and brought a gray rabbit: "It's just the right time, the fire hasn't been extinguished yet." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger from his leggings and slashed it down!

Xu Jiao was unprepared and fainted gorgeously!

Zhao Yuan exclaimed in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" Throwing away the rabbit and stepping forward to help her up, she didn't wake up after shaking it, and turned in a circle: "Oh no, I can't let Uncle Nine know." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the residue on the ground, he just rolled up Xu Jiao's painting and stuffed it into his sleeve, bent down to pick her up and ran down the mountain.

It was night, the moon was like water, Zhao Yin rushed back to Huaguo Mountain in a starry sky, took off his dusty coat and went into Xu Jiao's bedroom.

However, what was surprising was that the big cat was not at the door of the dormitory, but lying behind the door of the hall, and saw him anxiously turning around twice.

Zhao Yin frowned, pushed open Xu Jiao's door with one palm, and by the moonlight outside the window, he saw that the couch was empty, and he raised his head and shouted: "Liu Yu." ”

The roof didn't move for a long time.

Zhao Yin was worried in his heart, and shouted Zhang Chao again, but there was still no answer.

Zhao Yin reflexively went out and looked around the courtyard, and the whole yard was not angry except for the big cat. At the moment, I went to the sales lobby on the mountainside.

When he arrived at the lobby, Zhao Yin found that the hall was brightly lit, and more than a dozen young men hurriedly ran out of the door with lanterns. Jiang Yunfei and the people of Yuzhou were nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Yin grabbed a guy and asked, "What happened?" ”

"Lord Wang? You're back, Boss Xu is gone, Jiang Gongzi asked us all to go out and find someone. The little guy said nervously as he tugged at the lantern.

"Why is it missing? Didn't Jiang Jiajun find anything abnormal? Zhao Yin asked as he glared at him.

Xiaoxiao's face changed from nervous to trembling: "I don't know, it's just that Lord Liu and Master Zhang went back and said that they couldn't find Boss Xu, and they came to the lobby to find Jiang Gongzi, and Jiang Gongzi took Yu Gongzi and Young Master Zongmin to look for it, but they didn't find it after looking around, so they came back and notified everyone to look for it." ”

Zhao Yin let go of him and said, "Keep looking!" He turned and galloped back to the yard.

In the yard, the big cat went back and forth, seemingly anxious.

Zhao Yin beckoned to it: "Where has your master gone?" ”

The big cat lay on the ground in front of him, looking at him motionless.

Zhao Yin snorted: "That's it, what's the use of asking you?" After that, he turned on the lamp and took a closer look at the courtyard, and found that Xu Jiao's clothes were still neatly dried in the courtyard, and they were soaked and not yet dry. Looking at the pastries that often have one or two plates left on the table, today they have disappeared with the tablecloth.

Zhao Yin flashed a light in his mind, and ran towards the kitchen, sure enough, the kitchen sprinkled a little oil and salt condiments on the stove, pulled the cook and asked, the cook said, after lunch, he did not wait for Dong'er to arrange the meal, and waited in the courtyard for a long time, did not see the master's movement, thought that the master had other arrangements, so he never came to the kitchen, and dinner was eaten in the sales lobby.

Zhao Yin nodded, asked the cook to go back to the room, and he didn't turn around to greet a big cat, and ran towards the mountain first.

This girl must have gone to the mountains to catch game barbecue, and she blamed herself, she didn't toss with her for a few days, this girl has been thinking about barbecue, and she was negligent. Zhao Yin thought so, galloped all the way, and climbed to the top of the mountain after a while.

However, as soon as he reached the top of the mountain, he was stopped by the big cat jumping in front of him and lying on the ground.

Zhao Yin was in a hurry: "Get out of the way, useless beasts, my master can't look at it, what's the use of raising you?" ”

The big cat's eyes darkened, and he seemed to be a little aggrieved, but how could Zhao Yin care about so much? If you fly up, you have to kick it. The big cat was agile, and before the soles of his feet fell, he stepped to the side, dodged his feet, and fell back to the ground.

Zhao Yin was angry, and bypassed it and drilled into the forest.

As a result, the big cat quickly ran in front of him and lay down in the way, still staring at him with his head tilted. Zhao Yin felt that this beast was provoking himself: "If you dare to stop the master again, the master doesn't care who your master is?" I'm going to have to skin you! ”

The big cat remained unmoved.

Zhao Yin was tossed by it, and his mood calmed down a little, and then he remembered the abnormality of the big cat, so he bent down and asked, "What are you doing to stop the master like this?" ”

The big cat naturally couldn't answer him, just lay quietly in front of him.

Zhao Yin frowned, and suddenly remembered that these days, Xu Jiao often let it lie down beside him as a chair for herself, is it possible......

Zhao Yin measured the body of the big cat with his eyes, the flesh was there, but it was really not big, after all, it was not yet a one-year-old tiger cub, but he still tentatively stepped towards it.

The big cat didn't move.

Zhao Yin tried to slowly put down the weight of his body, after all, he was not Jiaojiao, but he was more than twice as heavy as Jiaojiao, in case this little beast was crushed, he really couldn't afford to pay it at that time.

The big cat lay on its stomach steadily, and when Zhao Yin patted its neck and said "go", it kicked its legs and wanted to run, however, the tiger was always a tiger, the estimation was wrong, the legs and feet trembled, and it couldn't stand up!
