13 Chapter 13

It turns out that there is a reason why this grotto would be used as a temporary base by Orion.

On the back of the grotto, a hundred meters away, Han Mufei saw the water source.

It is the mountain stream water leaking out of the cracks in the rocks, very little, but very clear.

This time, she didn't make a water cylinder carefully, but directly cut a few pieces of bamboo, first threw it downstream of the water stream, and when she found the prey and came back, the water should be full, and she could take it back directly.

As for the prey, Han Mufei didn't dare to go far, recalled the coordinate environment when he opened the map, found a hare nest he noticed, caught a hare, picked some fruits, and immediately returned to the mountain stream.

After washing the fruit and eating a few of them, he cleaned up the pheasants on the spot, and immediately returned to the grotto with two bamboo tubes of water.

Probably resting for a while, Brother Chu relieved himself, and when Han Mufei went back, he had already gotten up and was sitting in front of the grotto.

Seeing Han Mufei coming back with a hare and a bamboo tube, his eyes lit up and his Adam's apple slipped.

Han Mufei immediately handed him a bamboo tube of water, he was not polite, after taking it, he drank more than half of it, and ate the fruit that Han Mufei gave him, seeing that Han Mufei was holding firewood, he also hurried to help.

There was no pot, no iron grid, no iron plate, and the meat could only be roasted over fire.

Han Mufei found a few branches of similar size, tied them together with rice straws, and then branched them out to become wooden shelves, such wooden shelves made two, and then sharpened the wooden sticks with a dark iron knife, put the hare on the wooden frame, and put it on the firewood pile.

There is no fire fold, you can only use the oldest method to drill wood to make fire, Chu Ge'er, who is responsible for making fire, drilled for a long time, and his hands are numb, before he gave birth to a spark, fortunately, there is a dry rice straw as an introduction, so as not to completely fail.

When the fire started, both men gathered around the campfire.

Come to think of it, this is the second time they have lit a fire in the wild and spent the night.

I didn't eat or drink that time, but this time I was roasting dinner.

Thinking that they would soon have something to eat, the two of them were in a lot of energy, laughing while talking, Han Mufei added firewood, and Brother Chu hurriedly turned over the rabbit meat, and after a while, hot oil squeaked out of the roasted layer of rabbit meat, dripping in the bonfire, igniting a more dazzling flame.

"Sister, is it okay?"

"Not yet, it's not ripe."

Han Mufei also used a knife to cut the outer layer of meat from time to time to see the degree of maturity.

Soon, the night sky was filled with a thick smell of meat, not only Brother Chu couldn't help but smack his tongue, but even Han Mufei himself kept swallowing saliva.

"Sister?"

"Alright, alright."

Han Mufei held back his greed, and together with Brother Chu, he moved the roasted rabbit meat to the side of the bonfire along with the wooden shelf, and then used a knife to cut off pieces of freshly cooked rabbit meat, and the crunchy parts could even be torn directly by hand.

Place the rabbit meat on the large washed leaves, grab it and put it in your mouth.

The toasted rabbit meat is crispy and delicate, even without any ingredients, and it is already full of the sweetness of the original gravy, not to mention those who are tired after a day.

Rao is a noblewoman of the Han Mansion who has been in the Han Mansion for more than half a year, and compared with the hundreds of delicacies she has tasted in the past six months, the taste is not as good as the bite of rabbit meat in her mouth at the moment.

"Delicious!"

"Of course, this is what you caught, sister, let's bake it together, of course it's delicious."

Han Mufei and Brother Chu didn't care about any table manners at this time, so they grabbed it and ate all the rabbits into their stomachs while roasting the fire.

After eating, they drank two sips of mountain stream water, lay on the grass next to the grotto, and looked at the starry night sky, and the excitement of the two gradually calmed down.

Rabbit meat is delicious.

However, after all, they don't know where they are, and where they will go tomorrow, and they have to think about it in the long run.

"I remember, this is already Gunzhou? If we want to go to Yuzhou, we have to go southeast. ”

"I asked Steward Liu, and said that in this direction, along the official road, the carriage will walk for about two hours, and you can get to the capital city of Gunzhou."

"Tomorrow, shall we continue this way?"

"Of course."

"As long as we go to Fucheng, the journey to Yuzhou is halfway away, and we hire a carriage and a dart team, just the two of us, it will probably only cost ten taels of silver, right?"

"Good. Starting tomorrow, we will go to Fucheng as soon as possible. ”

……

After Brother Chu lay down in the grotto and fell asleep, Han Mufei guarded the bonfire, picked up the wooden crossbow, wiped it well, took out the quiver, and counted the remaining arrows.

When the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty were asked to build this modern and improved crossbow, it was designed to be small and lightweight.

For Han Sanniang's physical condition, the bow and arrow still have to re-practice the arm pull and aim, but with a crossbow, you can ignore the pull problem, as long as you can determine the target position - this can be easily done using her coordinate skills, it can be said that it is also tailor-made, and the placement of the machine can be fired five in a row.

Arrows are consumables, and only sixty were made by craftsmen at the beginning, but today fifty-six are used to deal with the homeless people alone, and now there are only four in the quiver, and they are almost exhausted.

If you have a chance, you have to find a blacksmith shop to forge more for yourself.

It's just that when I built this crossbow before, I was still a pampered Han family Sanniang, and the arrows and arrows I built were all made of good iron, and I also had a lot of silver, so I wasn't afraid that I couldn't afford to raise a crossbow.

But now if you want to find a blacksmith to forge arrows for you, you don't know how much silver you need, and you don't know if you have enough money and silver on your body now.

After taking care of the crossbow, thinking back on today's encounter, Han Mufei felt more suspicious about the group of homeless people who suddenly appeared.

The convoy came all the way from Changping Town, and even after entering the territory of Gunzhou, it was not disturbed by the displaced people.

Besides, there were six carriages in the convoy, but there were more than 20 guards, and a dart team of 10 people, so many people in a group, the force was worth the bar, and others did not dare to provoke it, how could it be favored by the homeless?

I didn't see it when I opened the map, but they stopped, and those homeless people came out?

The timing was right!

There is no shop in front of the village, there is nothing to eat and drink, shouldn't the homeless people go to find a place to stay? A large group of them did not go to towns and villages, but went to the barren mountains and mountains?

Also, the dart team and the guards are to protect their employers, it can be seen that the homeless people ran over, and their first reaction was to lead the team to escape, and not many people turned back to save her and Brother Chu, which is unreasonable.

Even if Aunt Xia and Han Heheng were greedy for life and afraid of death, and ordered the guards and the dart team to protect them and escape, even if the dart team was over, then it was impossible for all the guards of the Han family to leave her and Brother Chu alone, right?

Intuition told Han Mufei that there was a conspiracy here.
