The soldiers divided into three roads and went up the mountain.

The speed of the sheep was not slow, and before she was halfway up the mountain, she settled Sima Zhen on a gentle slope to bask in the sun, and she quickly disappeared into the dense forest with her people.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records: the head of the two classics of the north, in the east of the river, its head pillow Fen, its name is called Guanshui Mountain. There is no wood on it, but there is much grass, and there is much jade underneath. The Fen water flows out of the Yan, and the west flows into the river.

Although it is early spring, the forest here is thick and leafy, and the ravines are crisscrossed, and you can only judge the direction by the sun overhead.

The sheep is climbing the sunny slope, and the hands and feet are used together so as not to fall.

Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult, and the group went from gentle to steep and then into a gentle slope.

After a short rest, Yang Xianrong and Cuixi Luzhu discussed it again, and several of them also scattered to search, whether they found it or not, they must return here before dark.

Yuan Jianshuo followed Yang Xianrong's side and asked, "Although there is a topographic map, let's find a guide, I heard that there are hunters and hermits living in the clover forest, and it is good to ask them to lead the way." ”

"Yes, yes." Yang Xianrong nodded, "Our grain can also be distributed to them, after all, it is quite far down the mountain." ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhu hurriedly divided a few small portions of the dry food brought by Zhang Lianghoe in case of emergency. They all clung to the sheep and refused to separate. Yang Xianrong couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't be like this, you all know Xu Zhenren's face, and those martial guards may not know." Therefore, take them with you to find them. ”

After finally arranging these people out, Yang Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, there is a lot of power in people, so you always have to look for it.

Yuan Jianshuo took the main force of Wuwei to follow Yang Xianrong, and he had already arrived at the three-leaf forest and saw a hunter's hut. Yuan Jianshuo was still more cautious, slowly approached, and took a look at the probe before saying, "There is no one here." ”

At this time, Yang Xianrong actually felt very tired, she entered the hunter's hut and sat down, looked at the fire that had not been extinguished and said, "I'm afraid I also went hunting, and I didn't go far." ”

It's quite large, semi-open houses with no gates, just simple wooden fences.

"Let's take a break, we can also boil some hot water here." Cui Xi touched Yang Xianrong's hand, "It's still cold in this mountain, don't get cold." ”

"Well, if you still have the strength to look for it later, don't worry about me. I'm just sitting here and not wandering around. Yang Xianrong rubbed his legs, it seems that he hasn't climbed up for a long time, and his physical strength is really not enough.

"No, I can't leave you here." Yuan Jianshuo disagreed.

"Then you go and collect some firewood, it's still quite cold." Yang Xianrong instructed him to work, "I borrowed someone's place, but I still have to help others do something." ”

Before the words fell, Cui Xi said happily: "There is actually half a pheasant hidden here, I just said, I have been smelling the aroma." ”

Everyone looked at her, and she pulled out the roasted pheasant and a little salt from the broken wooden cabinet.

Even these people had just gone up the mountain when they were full, but when they saw meat to eat, they were in a very good mood. Yang Xianrong was not polite at all, and directly stretched out his hand, "Give me a taste." ”

"Wait, slave maid taste first." According to the usual practice, Cui Xi first tore a piece and put it in her mouth and chewed it before saying, "The taste is okay, it is slightly raw, and it can still be baked." ”

"Here, here." Yuan Jianshuo moved extremely fast, and even lit the fire that was about to be extinguished, and contributed his long sword.

"Why don't you catch another one?" Yang Xianrong asked, "When I went up the mountain just now, I heard that there should be a lot of birds and beasts here. ”

"Where is it so easy to ......" Yuan Jianshuo spoke much more casually now, and said with a bitter face, "I haven't hunted in my humble position." ”

"Alright, then you should hurry up and pick up some more branches, and the fire will be stronger." Yang Xianrong used his long sword to pull some fires, and a lot of dust rose up, choking several people to cough.

"Okay, okay, I'll go." Yuan Jianshuo covered his mouth and nose, immediately retreated, and took two martial guards to the distance to look for dead branches.

Yang Xianrong's side was much quieter, and now only Cui Xi and the eight martial guards followed.

The eight people just gathered around, playing the role of protection and vigilance, and did not help Cui Xi roast the pheasant.

However, no one spoke.

There are unknown birds chirping between the mountains and forests, there is the sound of small beasts crawling over in the grass, there are some wolf howls in the distance, and there are faint people who seem to be playing some musical instruments.

Could it be Xu Zhenren?

Yang Xianrong immediately stood up and walked out of the hunter's hut.

Cui Xi also hurriedly handed over the roast pheasant to a military guard, and followed Yang Xianrong to stand in the forest and listen.

The music was not obvious, staccato and seemed to be out of tune. But it seemed to be a very familiar tune, like somewhere before.

"It is often said that dangerous mountains, strange peaks, forests, lakes and rare birds and beasts are the best places for hermits to live, and I am afraid that this is also a hermit." Yang Xianrong judged the direction of the music, but because of the wind in the forest, she couldn't tell it.

"Sounds like it's going up further." Tricy said.

“…… Then let's take a break. Yang Xianrong's face fell, "I'm so tired." ”

"Why don't you take a break here, and the slave and maid go up and take a look?" Cui Xike was not tired at all.

"Then you should roast the pheasant better." Yang Xianrong was still a little skinny, because she didn't want to be near the fire, otherwise it wouldn't be a matter of coughing, but her face would be dark.

"Girl......" Cui Xi couldn't cry or laugh, "Then this music is fleeting, so the slave maid will quickly take a look and come down immediately." You take the long sword of Commander Yuan and put it into the fire, don't go too low...... It's ready to cook in no time. ”

"Oh." Yang Xianrong also laughed, she knew that it was useless to deal with Cuixi, Cuixi was an extremely serious and serious person, and she could only be reasonable. "How many people are you carrying?"

"That's not necessary, the slave and maid are faster alone." Cui Xi put the long sword in Yang Xianrong's hand, turned around and quickly went up the mountain.

However, it didn't take long for a wolf howling in the mountains to be heard, followed by a woman's scream.

Yang Xianrong's face immediately changed, and he rushed out of the hunter's hut with his long sword.

Several of the remaining guards also took on a defensive formation, nervously looking at the situation around them.

There was a tiger roaring in the midst of the wolf howl, which resounded through the mountains and forests.

Immediately, there was a whistling and sharp whistle, and the momentum faintly overshadowed the tiger's roar.
