Chapter Twenty-Six: Yun Jiao Disappears
The team stopped on a fairly flat mountain road to prepare for cooking.
After sheltering from the rain in the cave for two days and eating dry food for two days in a row, when they arrived at another mountain, the villagers all went into the woods in groups of three or five, wanting to try their luck and add a meat dish.
Shen Yunqing took out everyone's utensils in the space and gave them out, so he took the Lin family and the third aunt a little in front of the team, found an open space and took out the ingredients, and prepared to cook.
he
She didn't plan to hunt prey today, she arranged for the third aunt to go.
Yang Xiu practiced archery every day during this time, and today can be regarded as a test to test how well she practiced.
Yun Jiao wants to follow, Xiao Nizi has been bored recently, either in the back basket or in the cave.
Okay, just go, the third aunt took Shen Yunqing to rest assured.
In this way, Yang Xiu took Yun Jiao to the other direction.
The col where the villagers went, there were too many people, even if there was prey, it was not enough to grab, she wanted to go to a place where there was no one and play to her heart's content.
The team of more than 100 people walked most of the way.
There are those who cut wood with firewood knives, those who catch small animals, those who dig wild vegetables, and those who go to find water.
Shen Yunqing still has a lot of food in the space, and he is not waiting for the food that the third aunt hunts for dinner.
She and Lin didn't go anywhere, they matched meat and vegetables, and carefully prepared a dinner.
Braised stewed meat, chop the chicken breast of the pheasant into small pieces, first go to the pot to stir-fry and add seasonings to color, when it is medium-cooked, pour water, put it in a clay pot, simmer for an hour, simmer until it is soft and rotten.
Cold salad purslane, purslane is a wild vegetable, even in modern times, many people in the countryside will dig it up and eat it.
She blanched it in hot water, then added light soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, a few peanuts and a spoonful of sesame seeds, and poured hot noodles on top of it for a cold dressing.
It is sour and delicious, and it is a dish that goes well with rice.
Finally, I made a soup, wolfberry vegetables with a mountain egg, and a bowl of wolfberry vegetable egg soup.
Because there is no shortage of various condiments and ingredients, these ordinary wild vegetables are particularly delicious.
Even Lin tasted one bite after another, praising the deliciousness.
"Why haven't they come back yet? Too much prey to take? Your third aunt is too greedy! ”
After cooking the meal, Shen Yunqing and the others waited for the third aunt and Yunjiao to come back, but they waited left and right and saw no one.
At this time, the other villagers who were looking for food came back one after another, and everyone was carrying something in their hands, and it seemed that they had gained a lot.
Only Yang Xiu and Yun Jiao were missing.
After waiting for a while, the sky was completely dark, the sun had set, and a bright moon was replaced, taking turns guarding the sky.
Shen Yunqing couldn't sit still, she told the Lin family not to run around, and was going to take a look in the direction Yang Xiu left.
It's just that as soon as she got up and was about to leave, she saw Yang Xiu running back in a panic, with a few scratches on her face, blood stains on her hands, a cloth shoe on her feet was missing, and the bow and arrow that Shen Yunqing gave her were gone.
Moreover, she is alone!
"Qing, Qing, Qing girl, second sister-in-law, I, I, I'm right...... I'm sorry for you! Yang Xiu was unusually emotionally excited, knelt in front of Shen Yunqing and Lin, and stammered a word.
Shen Yunqing helped her up and asked, "Third aunt, what's wrong?" What about Yun Jiao? ”
Looking at Yang Xiu like this, didn't he encounter a fierce beast?
"Yunjiao, let the hyena take it away!" Yang Xiu didn't dare to hide it, she was besieged by more than a dozen hyenas, and she couldn't save Yun Jiao at all, so she hurriedly ran back to Yun Qing for help.
"What?"
Lin stood up suddenly, and then her body shook and retreated, she was a little unsteady on her feet.
Hyenas are such beasts, even lions dare to besiege and prey, let alone a child as young as Yun Jiao.
Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat, and she didn't know when the tears would stay.
She only knew that she was going to find Yun Jiao, and Yun Jiao should be so scared when she faced so many hyenas alone!
No matter what the outcome is, she has to bring Yun Jiao back.
She has to be calm, Yun Jiao is waiting for her to save her!
Lin couldn't hear what Yang Xiudu said clearly, his eyes turned around, and then he picked up the kitchen knife he had just used for cooking beside him, pulled his legs and walked towards the woods.
Shen Yunqing didn't dare to delay, and pulled Yang Xiu to lead the way in front, the specific situation could only be said on the road, and the three of them ran away in a hurry under the surprised eyes of the villagers.
Yang Xiu made a long story short, and explained what happened in a few simple words.
She took Yunjiao to the woods, and at first she didn't find any small animals.
There were no small animals, so they planned to pick some wild fruits and go back.
Yun Jiao's eyes were sharp, and she found a few fresh fruits on the ground, so she picked up the fruits all the way forward, and Yang Xiu followed closely behind her.
The fruit is one every few meters, and one is every few meters, and it is the same kind of fruit.
Yang Xiu looked up at the woods and found that there were no fruit trees in that woods, and felt a little strange, so he told Yun Jiao not to pick them up, it was time to go back.
Unexpectedly, there was more than one fruit in the back, it was a pile of fruits, Yang Xiu was sure that this was a fruit that someone deliberately piled up.
She dragged Yun Jiao back, and just after walking a few dozen meters, more than a dozen hyenas suddenly jumped out of the cave and surrounded them.
Yang Xiu was carrying a bow and arrow, she took out an arrow, and when an arrow missed, the hyena swarmed up, pulled Yang Xiu's leg and bit it, and she suddenly grinned hoarsely in pain.
was already not proficient in archery, and in a panic, the bow and arrow in Yang Xiu's hand swung at the hyena's head in an orderly manner.
She had forgotten the correct use of the bow and arrow, and had reverted to the most savage and primitive means of resistance, just like the night in Nan'an Village, the villagers instinctively picked up the hoe in their hands and swung it vigorously at the head of the Bai Di soldier.
Yang Xiu used the bow and arrow as a hoe and knocked it on the neck of the hyena at his feet, but none of the hyenas fell.
Hyenas are animals that bite their prey and will not let go until the prey slowly bleeds to death.
Yang Xiu had fear in his heart, was he going to die in the hyena's mouth today and become their food?
Turning her head to look at Yun Jiao, she couldn't give up, Yun Jiao was brought out by her, and she wanted to send Yun Jiao back to Qing Yatou safely.
The bow and arrow didn't work, so Yang Xiu simply threw away the bow and directly used the arrow to stab the hyena.
But because she was a peasant woman since she was a child and had no special training, even if she stabbed the hyena, the strength of her hand was not enough, and she could not pierce the hyena's neck and hit it with one blow.
Yang Xiu also suffered several injuries on his body, blood dripped down the hem of his trousers, and the smell of blood made the hyena even more crazy.
Some of them even pounced on Yang Xiu and scratched Yang Xiu's face with their sharp teeth.
Seeing that there was no place, a few hyenas turned their heads and pounced on Yunjiao.
Yun Jiao's mouth was just stuffed with fruit, and when she saw these ugly-looking animals, she was scared and cried, and the fruit in her mouth also fell out.
"Damn, what a monster, so ugly! It's ugly......"
The leading hyena listened: Ma Dan! How can this human child know the dog language of our hyenas! I still hate us for being ugly.
It screamed and ordered the dogs to besiege the human child.
Yun Jiao covered her ears: "Not only is it ugly, but it is also ugly, you better stop screaming, it's really ugly!" ”
Lead Hyena: ...... I also dislike the unpleasant sound!! I'm really angry, I've never seen a prey so picky, I don't dislike your skinny and meatless, we are hyenas who once besieged lions, will be afraid of you as a little hairy child?
Little ones, come on!
In this way, before Yun Jiao could react, she was dragged into the bushes by several hyenas.
