As the days passed, spring was coming to an end, and early summer was approaching. In the corn field of the Yu family, the corn stalks stood straight like tall guards. The leaves of the corn, like a sharp sword made of jasper, plunged into the sky one by one. On the top of the plant, the male ears of corn have been pulled out, and they are clustered one by one, like the messy hair of a guard.

In the past month, because the king of Yangjun came more frequently, Xiaocao was afraid that he would see something, so he reduced the amount of water in the spirit stone. Corn itself is resistant to drought and waterlogging, and although there is less rain this spring, it does not affect its growth and development at all.

Looking at the one-person-tall corn plant, Zhu Junyang asked Mr. Liu, who accompanied him, to record the detailed time of the tasseling of the male ear and the growth of the corn.

The Yu family's watermelons have been sold for nearly a month, and there are not many watermelons left in the six acres of land, which are generally not big, but the taste has not diminished at all. Zhu Junyang paced to the melon field, selected one of the picked watermelons, and asked Mr. Liu to take them back and enjoy them.

Yu Xiaocao, the little follower in the back, couldn't help but pout, this little county king is becoming less and less an outsider, and taking watermelons is like taking his own things.

"Is the grass, the male ears of corn, the fruit of corn?" Zhu Junyang remembered the news from the capital that the corn planted by the household department according to the planting experience summarized by the Yu family had been almost a month, and it had just been jointed. He looked at the specimens sent over, although they looked good, but compared to the Yu family, they were far behind. Could it be that this Yu family really has an extraordinary talent in farming?

Yu Xiaocao rolled his eyes and scolded him: "It's terrible to have no culture!" There are men and women, and the flowers are male and female. Since it is a male ear, how can it bear fruit? ”

"Smack!" Zhu Junyang slapped Xiao Nizi lightly on the back of the head, and scared without any power: "You are not small, who is uneducated?" It seems that the master usually indulges you too much, making you so big and small! is also magnanimous, if you change to someone else, your life will be over a long time ago! ”

On the side, he was holding a record book, and he was holding a watermelon, and when he saw the faint smile on the corner of the little master's mouth, he was relieved: God has eyes, so that the master met the only girl Yu who dared to joke with him and lived in harmony. Through this month's observation, he found that the master could only relax when he was with Miss Yu, and only occasionally showed the demeanor and behavior that a seventeen-year-old boy should have.

Yu Xiaocao hugged his head, looked at him angrily, and shouted: "Hit me in the head again, if you beat me stupid and stupid, I will rely on you!" You are in charge of the rest of my life!! ”

Responsible for the second half of Xiao Nizi's life? Zhu Junyang showed a smile in his eyes, gave her another popping chestnut, laughed, and said, "Don't come to blackmail the master!" You are stupid and stupid, how can you blame the master? Want to rely on your master? Ye is not a stingy person, with your small body, cat-like food, ten or eight masters can afford it! ”

"Are you a pig? There are still ten or eight ......" Yu Xiaocao accidentally scolded herself, and she realized it as soon as the words rushed out. Oops, how? Are you really stupid by this guy?

Zhu Junyang smiled even more, looking her up and down, showing a disdainful expression: "Pig? As far as you are a little side with no meat, if you are really a piglet, it is estimated that no one will want to take it back to raise. The lord was very merciful, and reluctantly took it back and raised it. Fattened and slaughtered and ate meat......"

Yu Xiaocao was furious, and shouted with his teeth and claws: "Eat, eat, eat!" Hold you out!! I still eat meat, be careful of being fat into a big fat pig, and I can't walk!! ”

"Master practices every morning and evening, no matter how much meat you eat, you won't get fat, don't care about it!" Looking at Yu Xiaocao's energetic appearance every day, Zhu Junyang's mood is becoming more and more full of sunshine.

The skill of this fighting mouth is rising day by day, and Yu Xiaocao decided that a good woman would not fight with a man, and walked down the melon field to find a ripe watermelon. Suddenly, a dark shadow sprang past her feet, causing her to let out a soft scream and leap far away.

"What's wrong? What's wrong! What happened? Zhu Junyang took a long step and walked over in a few steps. Because he was in too much hurry, he stepped on several unripe melons along the way.

"Like a badger!" The badger in Yu Xiaocao's mouth is the same creature as Lu Xun's Ru, good at digging soil, burrowing in the mountains, liking to eat plant roots, and also eating insects and some small animals.

Zhu Junyang's eyes searched the melon field, and soon caught the agile figure. The shadow in his hand flickered, and the badger that was fleeing at high speed let out a short scream, and fell to the ground motionless.

Wow! What secret weapon is so powerful? Yu Xiaocao lifted the hem of her skirt, lightly stepped over the watermelons, and came to the badger that couldn't die anymore. There were no visible wounds on the badger's body, only marks of an impact on the head. She carefully searched the surroundings and finally found the so-called hidden weapon, which was a tortoiseshell wrench.

Such a distance is enough to kill a badger, and the tortoiseshell wrench is not damaged at all. This strength is not something that ordinary people can do. Yu Xiaocao held the tortoiseshell wrench in one hand, and the badger that was just passing by but suffered an unjustified disaster in the other, came to Zhu Junyang's side, and looked at his eyes with a bright eye: "Little county king, do you know martial arts?" Is this the legendary internal force? ”

Zhu Junyang looked at him with eyes that were shining like jewels, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red, but he pretended to look cool on his face: "Master has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, what's so strange about knowing martial arts?" But shooting a badger, what's there to show off? ”

"Hey, hey! Xiaojun Wang, if you lose your job in the future, you can change your career to become a hunter, and you will definitely not die of hunger!! Yu Xiaocao picked up the fat badger and shook it in front of Zhu Junyang, revealing a row of small white teeth, "I'll eat it at noon today!" ”

Zhu Junyang frowned, glanced at the black badger with disgust, and pouted: "This ugly and dirty, can you eat it?" ”

As if the worship and appreciation just now were his illusions, Yu Xiaocao began to scold him again: "I don't know!" Let me tell you, badger meat is a great supplement, and eating it regularly can strengthen your body! ”

Zhu Junyang seems to like arguing with Yu Xiaocao very much: "A broken badger, make you happy like this!" Don't you have a lot of prey on the western mountain? Another day, the Lord will take you to see the skills of the Lord to hunt, and if there is anything you want to eat at that time, just say, the Lord will hunt for you! ”

Yu Xiaocao immediately star-eyed: "Really? You're not kidding me, are you? Can I eat whatever I want? ”

Catching a glimpse of Yu Xiaocao's wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhu Junyang had an ominous premonition, but the manly man had said everything, how could he take it back, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "As long as you have something on the West Mountain, you will be able to hunt it back!" ”

"I want to eat tiger meat, black bear paws, leopard tails, shark backs...... I've never eaten any of these, so I'd love to try them! Yu Xiaocao pretended to have an innocent expression, why did she look so bad?

The muscles on Zhu Junyang's face twitched fiercely, grinned his lips, and said, "I think you ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, right?" Dare to instigate the master to take the risk of hunting beasts, what is the intention? Also, your shark grows on the West Mountain? It's also shark back, and it's good to give you kitten fish! ”

Yu Xiaocao grimaced at him, she just talked casually, where did she really let him take risks?

"Yu Xiaocao, there are really tigers and leopards in this West Mountain?" Boys seem to have a natural adventurous spirit, and Zhu Junyang missed the autumn hunt in the royal paddock last year, and was very upset when he heard that he was defeated by one of his men. I heard that the guy was lucky to run into an injured tiger, and the blind cat met a dead mouse, so he won! If there is also a tiger in this western mountain, he will also catch one and go back, so that the defeated general will be convinced!

Yu Xiaocao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I heard the older generation say that I have heard the tiger roar." Fierce beasts generally live in the deep mountains, and ordinary people dare not go in, so naturally they can't see them! However, there are blind bears. My dad once encountered ...... "almost died in the mouth of a blind bear!"

Thinking of his father lying on the bed, sentenced to death by the doctor, and the desperate and helpless appearance of the family, Yu Xiaocao clenched his hands, and the tortoiseshell wrench held in his palm hurt a lot.

"Your wrench!" Yu Xiaocao looked down at the items in his palm and sent them to Zhu Junyang.

Zhu Junyang saw the imprints on Yu Xiaocao's palm, and also remembered what happened to Yu Hai. Yu Xiaocao, who was only eight years old at the time, must have been very hesitant and helpless. I wanted to say something to comfort her, but I didn't know how to say it. After thinking about it, Zhu Junyang said: "The wrench is dirty, I will reward you!" Don't you want to eat bear's paws? Another day when you come back from hunting, will you clean it up? ”

"No...... However, our chef at the Gourmet House certainly will! When the time comes, let's come up with the ingredients, let Brother Yang Feng make them for us, and then order some special dishes from Zhenyulou, and have a delicious meal!! "Since the godmother came out of confinement, Yu Xiaocao has lived in the town for a much shorter time. The godmother said that she would return to Beijing in a few days and spend 100 days in the capital for Xiao Linlin.

The washing of the third and the full moon are all done in Tanggu Town, if you don't return to Beijing for 100 days, those good sisters of the godmother, some old friends of the godfather, and the Xia family who is bent on how to tie up the decline of the uncle...... I've been waiting to congratulate them for a long time!

Zhu Junyang looked at the cute little face with smiling eyes, and she said with interest, as if the bear's paw was already in her hand, and discussed with great interest how to eat it! Well! If you have the chance, you can go into the mountains to have a look, and maybe there will be unexpected gains!

Yu Xiaocao finally ended the topic of how to eat bear paws, shook the badger in his hand, and his smile was so dazzling in the silver sunlight: "If you don't have a bear paw, let's take it first!" Do you want to eat stewed or braised one? ”

"What do you like to eat?" Zhu Junyang rarely considers the feelings of others, if he directly throws a "braised fire" according to his previous temper, where will he care about other people's thoughts?

"The stew is nutritious, and the flavor of the braised is strong! Each has its own merits. ”

"I want to try it!"

"Then half stewed, half braised ......"

……

In the sun, one tall and one short, one strong and one petite back, gradually drifting away......
