Chapter 23: Exercise
Bi Xianqing sat down next to Hua Mei with his baggage, rested for a while, and then went to pick up a bundle of hay and firewood to make a fire.
Bi Xianqing saw that Xiao Jiu had rested enough, and said to Xiao Jiu: "Little fox, go find something to eat, I'm starving to death." ”
"Bi Xianqing, you let Xiao Jiu go, Xiao Jiu has worked hard enough today. Hua Mei stopped Xiao Jiu, who was about to go out.
Xiao Jiu stubbornly broke free from the flower charm, and his head would not move forward.
"You just let Xiao Jiu go, this is also a workout to exercise Xiao Jiu. Bi Xianqing said.
"What should I do if I am in danger. Hua Mei said angrily and worriedly.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's a fox, tigers and wolves are cunning, what are you worried about. Bi Xianqing explained with a smile.
"Bi Xianqing, can you not bully Xiao Jiu. Flower Charm said loudly.
Bi Xianqing said: "Hua Mei, you are angry, I have just felt that Xiao Jiu can easily find food, so don't worry." ”
However, Bi Xianqing didn't expect that Xiao Jiu didn't see anything after going around, and when he walked back, he saw two horses grazing. Xiao Jiu squatted with bright eyes and stared at the two horses. Bi Xianqing's big black horse became alert, moved his footsteps, and gasped towards Xiao Jiu to warn Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu cocked his tail and took a few steps back.
Xiao Jiu stared at the pony ridden by Hua Mei again, and the pony only lowered his head to graze, and there was no vigilance of the big black horse at all. Xiao Jiu saw an opportunity and bit the pony's neck at once, and the pony neighed. Xiao Jiu's bite was just right, and it just bit the pony's artery. Blood spurted out from Xiao Jiu's bite. The pony was screaming in pain at this time, and Xiao Jiu hurriedly stepped back, waiting for the pony to lose too much blood and die of exhaustion.
The more the pony moved, the more it bleed, and the big black horse looked at Xiao Jiu coldly, avoiding the grass stained by the pony's blood, and constantly moving his position to continue to graze.
After a while, the pony fell to the ground panting for breath due to excessive blood loss. Xiao Jiu slowly approached the pony, watching that the pony had no ability to resist. Only then did he stand boldly on the pony, cut the sturdy horse skin with his teeth along the wound on the pony's neck, tore off a piece of horse meat and walked back.
Xiao Jiu's front paws were all blood, and the fiery red of blood was in stark contrast to the snow-white hair on Xiao Jiu's body. The flesh in Xiao Jiu's mouth was also dripping with blood, and Xiao Jiu looked like a hideous beast at this time, full of killing and wildness.
Hua Mei and Bi Xianqing sat and chatted, heard a painful neighing of a horse, and after a while, saw Xiao Jiu come back with a piece of bloody meat in his mouth.
Bi Xianqing suddenly realized that something was wrong, and got up and ran to the place where the horse was bolted to take a look. Sure enough, the pony that Flowery was riding was lying on the ground and had lost its breath. The horse's blood stained the surrounding blood red, the pony's skin had been torn, and the piece of flesh that Xiao Jiu was holding in his mouth was missing. The bloody scene that I couldn't bear to look at instantly made Bi Xian angry. Bi Xianqing carried the "flower charm" and went straight to Xiao Jiu.
When I went back, Xiao Jiu was pleasing around Hua Mei, and Hua Mei had already put the horse meat on the fire and roasted it.
Hua Mei looked at Bi Xianqing coming over with a knife, and asked in fear, "What do you want to do?"
"Get out of the way, I have to clean up this fox today, it's just lawless. Bi Xianqing said angrily. Xiao Jiu was so frightened that he drilled into Hua Mei's arms, and got blood on Hua Mei's skirt.
"Give me down, leave the flower charm. Bi Xianqing said sharply.
Xiao Jiu timidly jumped out of Hua Mei's arms and obediently lay on the ground. The horse meat on the charcoal fire had already roasted its aroma, and the half-wet wood was burning and crackling out.
"Ah Yue, what's wrong, you're so angry. Hua Mei looked at this person and asked.
Bi Xianqing pointed at Xiao Jiu with a knife and said angrily: "This little thing looks pitiful, you are not small, such a big horse can bite me to death, should I praise you for being amazing!"
"Bi Xianqing, put the knife down! Xiao Jiu is still young, and it's normal to be naughty!
After forgetting that it has injuries on its body, and you ask it to find food, it may be so wronged. "Hua Mei maintains Xiao Jiudao.
Bi Xianqing exhaled heavily and said: "It's a shame that it's injured, if it doesn't hurt two horses, it will dare to kill it." Hua Mei, you stop me, I have to teach it a lesson. ”
"Ah Yue, just let Xiao Jiu go this time, Xiao Jiu didn't mean it, there will never be a next time. After Hua Mei finished speaking, she and Xiao Jiu stared at Hua Mei with big watery eyes.
Bi Xianqing has always eaten soft rather than hard, seeing Hua Mei like this, he angrily threw down the knife, walked to the side and sat down, and complained: "It's not intentional, I dare to slaughter the horse under my nose." You just indulge it, if you indulge it so much, and when you give it more ability in the future, it will dare to go to the sky. It's a horse now, and I don't know what it will be in the future!"
Hua Mei heard Bi Xianqing say this, and gently comforted Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu is fine, it must not be like this in the future." Xiao Jiu licked the palm of Hua Mei's hand to show that he was well-behaved.
"The horse meat should be roasted, you can eat it. Hua Mei greeted Bi Xianqingdao.
"I don't dare to eat it, you go and see the horse yourself, you will definitely not be able to eat it when you come back!" Bi Xianqing was still angry.
Hua Mei first tore off a piece of meat and handed it to Xiao Jiu, then got up to see the horse. Hua Mei looked at the pony who had been with her for so many days lying in a pool of blood, and suddenly became angry.
Hua Mei came back with a cold face, looked at Xiao Jiu, who was eating horse meat, and sat down without saying a word.
Bi Xianqing quipped: "How is it? Xiao Jiu is not very powerful." Xiao Jiu didn't mean it, you blame it. ”
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he raised his head to look at Hua Mei, put down the horse meat and walked to Hua Mei's side with his head drooping.
Hua Mei glared at Bi Xianqing, Bi Xianqing was silent, and looked at Xiao Jiu with a wicked smile.
Xiao Jiu looked at Hua Mei with tears in her eyes, and Hua Mei shook her hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, Xiao Jiu, there is no next time!"
Bi Xianqing watched the excitement on the side, and said with a smile: "You just let it go, how can this work, the ancients came out of filial piety under the cloud stick." We should teach Xiao Jiu well. ”
Xiao Jiu looked at Bi Xianqing, pleading and complaining in his eyes.
"Forget it, I'll spare you this time, there will be no next time. Hua Mei said with a sigh.
"You can't just let it go. Bi Xianqing is still stirring up trouble on the side.
Hua Mei glanced at Bi Xianqing and said, "Bi Xianqing, if you are very idle, please go find something to eat, I am very hungry." ”
"Okay, then I'll go find something to eat. Bi Xianqing didn't see a good show, and he felt faintly disappointed in his heart.
Bi Xianqing walked for a while, and Hua Mei and Xiao Jiu were impatient. Finally, I saw Bi Xianqing's figure coming back from a distance.
Bi Xianqing was carrying a fish in his left hand and a bundle of dry firewood in his right hand, and when he walked into Hua Mei and Xiao Jiu, he threw down the firewood and sat on the ground panting.
Bi Xianqing gasped and said, "I can be sure why this little fox killed the horse. I turned around, and there was no bird in sight except grass and trees, and I finally caught such a small fish in a small pool. ”
Hua Mei looked at the small fish that was still alive and jumping in Bi Xianqing's hand, and reluctantly said, "It's okay, it's good to have something to eat." ”
So saying, he put the poor little fish on a stick and roasted it on the fire. Xiao Jiu sniffed the grilled fish and asked vigorously, now this grilled fish must be much better than the horse meat it ate just now.
Hua Mei stopped Xiao Jiu, who was slowly rubbing forward, "This fish doesn't have your share, you killed the horse just now, although you didn't mean to, but I still have to punish you." ”
The meaning of the flower charm was passed to Xiao Jiu from Bi Xianqing, and Xiao Jiu heard that the nine tails were all drooping, and he moved to find a comfortable place to lie down, covering his nose with one tail and his eyes with one tail, and quietly preparing to sleep.
Bi Xianqing and Hua Mei each ate a little, and Bi Xianqing deliberately let Hua Mei eat a little more, but Hua Mei still didn't eat enough.
Bi Xianqing picked up the remaining half of the horse meat, roasted it on the fire, tore off a piece and handed it to Hua Mei. "Let's eat reluctantly, it's better to have something to eat than to be hungry. Bi Xianqing said.
Hua Mei resolutely shook her head and refused. "I don't want to eat that, I can't swallow it, bring it quickly. When Hua Mei saw the horse meat, she thought of the bloody scene she saw at that time, and her stomach couldn't stop churning.
Bi Xianqing persuaded: "Let's just eat something, I don't know what to eat for the next meal." We have no money to spend in the barren mountains here. ”
"I really can't eat it. Hua Mei looked at the horse meat with an uncomfortable face.
Bi Xianqing looked at Hua Mei's appearance and was not reluctant. I ate all the rest of the horse meat.
Although Hua Mei has always followed her, Bi Xianqing is still not very aggrieved by Hua Mei in terms of eating. After ten days and half a month, she went to the small kitchen to steal something, and Hua Mei's pickiness about food was obviously higher than that of Bi Xianqing. Bi Xianqing thought that when he was a child, he even dared to eat a raccoon cat in order to fill his stomach, and now the roasted horse meat can be regarded as a delicacy for him.
Hua Mei fell asleep sleepily before she saw Bi Xianqing finish eating the meat. After eating, Bi Xianqing looked at the sleeping Hua Mei, found a piece of clothing and gently covered Hua Mei's body. I closed my eyes and fell asleep lightly, keeping my guard at all times.
The dawn sun lifted the shadows covering Jiuhua Mountain little by little, and the outline of Jiuhua Mountain became clear.
Bi Xianqing opened his eyes, looking at the faint sky and the sleeping Hua Mei and Xiao Jiu, and felt a little happy in his heart. Gently got up to yesterday's small waterhole and wanted to catch a fish for Hua Mei. After fishing for a long time, Bi Xianqing didn't catch it. Bi Xianqing was helpless, seeing that the water in the pool was still very clean, he took out a water bag and filled a bag of water back.
