Meishan, the peaks are continuous, ups and downs, traversing Anhua County, Baoqing Prefecture, Xinhua County, Changsha Prefecture, the momentum is like a coiling dragon, and it goes straight to the southwest.

In a valley in the Anhua section, the young lady was lying on the back of the maid, with two or three small bags protruding from her face, her eyes half-open and half-closed, her mind was groggy, and her body was shaking.

If it weren't for the maid who carried her on her back and kept an eye on her and carefully protected her, she would have fallen off long ago.

This young lady is Luo Xiangzhu, and the maid is naturally sleepless at night dressed as a man.

On that day, the two escaped from Luofu, threw themselves into Meishan, and traveled all the way to Changsha City, and it has been four days so far, but they still have not been able to get out of Meishan.

Meishan is difficult to walk, the mountain is high and dense, there are many poisonous insects, mosquitoes and flies, and there are occasional tigers and leopards.

Sleepless at night fell into the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he has experience in the wild, so he can adapt to it. Luo Xiangzhu is pampered, rarely goes out, and now when he first arrives in Meishan, he is uncomfortable in every way.

Not to mention the fact that he was bitten out of a few bags by mosquitoes on his face, and because he was not used to eating, he had eaten very little in the past two days, and he didn't have much strength up and down.

Eating is not used to eating, and sometimes it is really a difficult problem to solve.

Sleepless originally thought that Luo Xiangzhu was just not used to eating the flatbread he brought. The young lady is a southerner, and it is normal that she is not used to eating the rations of northerners.

In this plum mountain, rabbits, small musk deer, and even pheasants and wild boars, there are a lot of them, just grab one and bake it, the taste is better than flatbread, and the lady must be able to eat it.

Besides, there was a box of precious salt in his arms, and a jar of pepper in his sleeve. There is a copper hairpin on his head, and two garlic sticks in his bun.

The ingredients are so complete, are you afraid that you won't be able to make good things, so that the lady can get used to it?

is also because I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I have too much confidence in sleepless nights, and I underestimate the difficulty of this series of things.

In the step of catching wild animals, he spent a lot of energy.

The creatures in the mountains, even if it's a little rabbit, can't be eaten so casually, don't look at it as stupid, the pestle is motionless there. In the next second, it disappeared with a puff of smoke.

The trees are big and the leaves are deep, the bushes are dense with black grass, there is no place in this mountain that is inconvenient to hide, and if you don't catch the prey within three breaths, don't think about it after that, no matter how high your martial arts are, it's useless.

After a morning of tossing, Sleepless Night grabbed an old rabbit with his bare hands.

This old rabbit may have been dizzy, and in the process of escaping for his life, he actually saw a black stone next to the tree as a tree hole, and stupidly plunged into it, knocking him out on the spot, and making Sleepless Night pick up a bargain.

About the same as experiencing the happiness of waiting for the rabbit,

Sleepless smiled rarely, straightened out the Luo skirt that was cut by thorns and branches, let out a long sigh, found a vacant place, and took out a fire fold to make a fire.

Luo Xiangzhu, who was sitting on the stone and nibbling on a dry cake, happened to look over.

When the two looked at each other, the way she struggled to swallow made Sleepless Night's heart tremble, as if her throat was also hurt by the coarse bread.

"Miss, don't eat it if you can't eat it, I'll eat rabbit meat later. It can be fragrant. ”

Although the old rabbit is old, the meat quality is visible to the naked eye. Under the roasting of the flames, the aroma of oil rose, and I swallowed my saliva sleeplessly.

Hungry, really hungry.

Sleepless at night, grasping the heat, sprinkling salt and pepper at the right time, the oil instantly danced more happily.

After a little more roasting, he estimated that it was almost there, well, really! The two fattest rabbit legs are slippery and greasy and tear off, wrapped in golden oil, tempting people to go crazy.

Sleepless at night, his eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and he only felt that this morning's fierce chase was worth it!

Although the ingredients of this wild barbecue are coarse, its pure naturalness can capture the stomach the most.

The rabbit leg was handed to Luo Xiangzhu, and the cake in her hand fell to the leg, and the main general who knocked on the tooth pass was immediately replaced. It's this rabbit leg, yes.

She ate very happily, and was hungry for two or three days, and while maintaining a basic eating appearance, she quickly subdued the rabbit leg, and the remaining oil stains at the corners of her mouth did not waste a drop under the wrap of her tongue.

She looked at the remains of the rabbit with her eyes in her eyes.

"Bunny is so cute...... Of course, of course, all for you to eat. ”

Ye Wumian smiled lightly, tore off another rabbit leg and sent it over, and inadvertently turned around and licked the oil on his hand.

What a good oil, how can it be wasted? Dip it in garlic, and it has a bit of hair flavor, and it goes into the stomach together.

Since Luo Xiangzhu eats a lot, it stands to reason that he is already used to eating food in the mountains, and he is relieved to be sleepless at night.

In between her eating rabbits, she used her internal force to break a green bamboo and polish it into the shape of a bamboo sword with a stone.

In this way, when you go hunting tomorrow, you will not be bare hands, you will finally have tools.

The hilt of the sword was wrapped in rags, which were the pieces of cloth that had never slept at night. His skirt had been torn in a few places, and he tore off the tattered ones and used the waste.

Dealing with it in this way, you can easily use a few sets of swordsmanship without piercing your hands.

Not long after the bamboo sword was ready, he heard a sound of nausea and vomiting.

It's Luo Xiangzhu! At some point, she squatted on the ground and vomited, and before she finished eating half of her rabbit legs, she rolled to the ground, stained with a lot of mud and grass.

"You, don't come here!"

Mixed with the sound of vomiting, Luo Xiangzhu said weakly.

She turned her head away, not wanting to let Sleepless Night look at her ugliness.

Sleepless night naturally can't really pass, he shook his head with a wry smile, looking at the rabbit meat that was spit out not long after eating, knowing that he was sloppy and optimistic.

"Miss's stomach has been raised in the Luo family compound. This rough food in the mountains, even if it tastes acceptable, she is afraid that she will not be used to eating it. People who have been hungry for a long time are also prone to nausea when they are violently exposed to meat. ”

Looking at Luo Xiangzhu, who was vomiting yellow water all over the back, she couldn't sleep at night and worried about her diet in the next few days.

。。。

A clear water, sleepless night to take care of her after washing, pick a few wild raspberries for her.

At this time, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the season for raspberries to ripen, and patches of raspberries grow in Meishan.

"Miss is a blessed man. The meat can't be eaten, and there are raspberries to satisfy hunger, and the sky will not stop her, and there will be blessings in the future. Sleepless at night thought so.

The two raspberries went down, and the scarlet juice overflowed from the corners of Luo Xiangzhu's mouth, and her pale face finally regained a little ruddyness.

"Miss, you also said that day that you would go with me to investigate the cause of my master's death. Now you can also see that we are just going to Changsha City, so it is so difficult, not to mention, the road ahead is long......"

Sleepless Night is not a person who talks much, but recalling Luo Xiangzhu's stubbornness two days ago, he still can't help but say.

Luo Xiangzhu held a raspberry in his mouth, and his jaws squirmed slightly, before he said, "I don't care." When we arrived in Changsha City and passed the bad news to my grandmother, we set off immediately...... Then you have to teach me martial arts, I polish my body, and I won't have to work so hard in a hurry. I, I, I'm not going to drag you down! ”

Speaking of the back, her voice was a little louder, and her eyes were a little more serious, as if she was trying to prove something.

The two fell silent for a while. I was sleepless and was about to say more, but I heard a neighing of a horse in the woods in the distance.

"Phew-"

The neighing of a horse, mixed with sadness and fear, was not the sound of a normal horse, and it was obvious that there was a sudden danger situation.

Sleepless glanced around quickly, and the alarm bell sounded in his head.

He could hear that about a hundred paces away, there was a speeding object coming towards it. With the strength of the object's feet, it will come in a moment, and if you don't flee quickly, you may be knocked away.

He immediately stood up, pinned the bamboo sword to his waist, and called out in a muffled voice, "Miss! When he landed, he hugged Luo Xiangzhu and jumped on the branch of a camphor tree.

It is also because of his daily practice of martial arts in the past few years, both internal and external, and he has a certain degree of cultivation. Coupled with the vitality in the urgency, this can successfully jump on the branch two people high from the ground.

Luo Xiangzhu was suddenly picked up by him, and he didn't even have the strength to exclaim. It's just out of natural trust, hooking his neck tightly, still chewing the last raspberry in his mouth, looking at him in a daze, speechless for a long time.

In the past five years, although Sleepless Night has been accompanied by Luo Xiangzhu day and night, it is the first time that she has been hugged so much and so close.

Looking at her good-looking eyes, smelling the smell of sweat on her body, some sour, and some residual fragrance, he breathed sluggishly, and he actually blushed a little.

The two looked at each other like this, and they were both in a dizzy trance.

It was the sound of the ground shaking from far and near that woke the two up.

Sleepless at night, I looked under the tree.

An old red-haired horse, foaming at the mouth, came running through the grass more than half a foot deep; A leopard the size of a wolfdog followed, with a fierce look in his eyes, and he was bound to win it.

The neighing of the horse just now must have been made by this old horse. It was chased by this leopard, and the situation was critical, so it screamed so sadly. There were still a few blood marks on the strong buttocks, and black blood was gurgling.

Although this leopard has not yet fully succeeded, it has already bargained for a few paws.

Sleepless at night, his eyes condensed, and he said in his heart: This old horse is running now, and when he reaches the water's edge, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape. Why don't I save its life? With it, let it carry the young lady, and we can hurry better.

Sure enough, the old horse ran to the side of the stream that Luo Xiangzhu had just cleaned, let out a sad roar, raised his front legs, stopped his body, and his hooves pulled out several feet of dirt.

The stream was so wide that it could not wait to jump over, and it was even more advisable to pass it, so it had to pause and think about countermeasures.

After hesitating for a moment, the old horse did not choose to jump into the stream, but turned around and ran downstream along the stream.

"This old horse is quite spiritual, and in a short period of time, he chose the most suitable downstream direction." Sleepless looked at the back of the old horse, happy that it was out of danger for the time being.

I was happy for a moment, and suddenly I saw the old horse leaning forward in a strange posture, and the horse's body suddenly lost its center of gravity. The horse landed on the ground with his face and slid several feet against his face.

The horse stumbling in the play is nothing more than that.

The old horse was very steady, but it was only in the grass that there was a severed trunk in the path of his run.

The old horse was only concerned about running for his life, so naturally he didn't notice that there was such a hidden obstacle in the grass that he suffered this misfortune.

This time, it was careless Jingzhou, and there was no flash.

The leopard perked up and roared to shock the valley. The old horse lay on the ground, trembling on all fours, and tried desperately to get up, but he could not do so.

The leopard walked like a tiger, and there was still some distance between them, and then he jumped into the air, opened his mouth, and showed his canine teeth, which was bound to give the old horse a killing blow.

Sleepless at night, he kept an eye on it, and when he saw this, he slowly let go of the hand holding Luo Xiangzhu, and said, "Miss, stand firm, hold the trunk tightly, don't fall." ”

After Luo Xiangzhu witnessed the leopard chasing the horse, he was already frightened into a cold sweat, and he had already woken up from the state of being stunned, his whole body was extremely alert, and he hurriedly hugged the trunk as he said, and said with a round eye: "I caught it, but what about you." ”

Seeing Luo Xiangzhu looking at herself with concern, her sleepless heart warmed, gave her a calm look, and said, "I have to save it, this old horse has a fate with us." ”

Seeing that the leopard was about to catch up with the old horse, he had no sleep at night and had no time to say more.

After making sure that Luo Xiangzhu would not fall off the tree, he lifted his internal force, pulled out the bamboo sword in his waist, let out a clear whistle, took three steps and made two steps, his clothes fluttered, and he jumped diagonally from the branches.
