Xin Lan sneaked out from behind the middle hall, holding a short crossbow tightly in both hands, and whispered to Qiu Ze: "Hurry up, don't be discovered by my father." ”

Although the area of Lingchou Valley is much smaller than that of the rest of the mountain gates, it is a valley, there are not many pheasants and hares living in the valley, and the meat eaten by Qiu Ze on weekdays, in addition to the strange fish caught from the lake, occasionally Xin Lan will go to the back mountain to catch some hares and come back.

But during this time, in order to take care of Qiu Ze, Xin Lan has not caught hares for a long time, and the two can only eat some food accumulated on weekdays to survive, Xin Lan doesn't care, he can eat anything, but Qiu Ze can't, he must eat meat to make his body recover as soon as possible.

So the two made an appointment to go to the back mountain to hunt a few rabbits or pheasants to come back, and in order to ensure that there was a harvest, Xin Lan even stole Xin Yibo's most precious short crossbow.

On the thick snow, two sets of footprints headed towards the back mountain.

Qiu Ze is in a good mood, he was born in Jiangnan, Jiangnan is located in the south of the Ming Empire, it rarely snows in winter, even if it falls, it is not so big, where has Qiu Ze seen this kind of snowy scene? Holding the snow along the way, he refuses to let go as if he is holding a baby.

Xin Lan also put on a red cotton jacket, this cotton jacket was brought back from the world by Xin Yibo a long time ago, and it is also the only thing from the world among all Xin Lan's belongings, and she cherishes this dress very much.

The red clothes were extremely eye-catching in the snow, and Qiu Ze couldn't help but smile when he looked at Xin Lan, who was walking in front and bouncing.

The two walked and stopped, looking for prey, and due to the cold weather, the animals hid in their dens and did not dare to come out.

————

"Senior brother, you are doing this...... Does it really work?"

The two of them hid behind a tree, and there was already a lot of snow on their bodies, but they did not dare to move, for fear of frightening the rabbits that went out to forage.

In the snow in front of him, there is a small haystack, which has been covered with snow, if it weren't for Xin Lan's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have found this haystack at all, judging from the footprints left around, there must be rabbits in the haystack, and there is more than one.

They could have lifted the haystacks, but there weren't many animals in the back hills, and they didn't want to destroy the nests of these animals.

Yesterday night, Akisawa left a lettuce leaf, and at this time, he placed it in front of the haystack, and as time passed, the sky snowed again, burying all the footprints near the haystack.

"Don't worry, it's definitely okay, the snow is closing the mountain, the rabbit can't find anything to eat, it's estimated that I've been hungry for a long time, let's lead the snake out of the hole first...... No, lure the rabbit out of the hole. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a white rabbit to poke its head out of the haystack and slowly walk up to the leaves, as if wondering why there was an extra leaf in the snow for no reason.

"Whew!"

An arrow sounded, and an arrow reached the rabbit's feet...... The rabbit was startled, turned and ran, but in a panic it hit a nearby tree and passed out.

The two people behind the tree were dumbfounded, especially Qiu Ze, the arrow was shot by him, of course he knew that it didn't hit, and smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, it seems that our luck is good." ”

Xin Lan ran a few steps, picked up the rabbit, returned to Qiu Ze's side, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, is this the story you told about waiting for the rabbit? ”

Qiu Ze touched the back of his head and laughed a few times, but he didn't expect to catch a rabbit in this way, which really made people cry and laugh, although Qiu Ze is very flexible with ice spikes now, but he still used a crossbow for the first time, and he couldn't help but lose his head.

Catching the rabbit, the two walked back along the way back to the valley.

On the glacier, a dark shadow looked at the interesting things that happened in the back mountain from afar, and his cold face couldn't help but show a smile, and at the end, he frowned and muttered: "This kid, I haven't seen him for half a month, why has his body become so weak......"

He suddenly thought of something, and his brows furrowed even tighter: "Could it be ...... Dead fatty, are you so anxious?"

————

Nave.

At the dinner table, the rabbit meat is ready.

Xin Yibo finally walked out of the room, and the three of them picked up the dishes and chopsticks, talking while eating.

Xin Yibo glanced at Qiu Ze a few times, and blamed himself: "Alas, I didn't expect you to recover until now...... I always tell you not to rush for quick success, but I am the first to make mistakes...... It's good that you survived, otherwise I would ...... in my heart."

"Master, I can't blame you, it's me who is not good, I almost survived, I almost survived......"

Xin Yibo laughed: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, but your body is still very weak, don't go to the back mountain for the time being, I will refine some pills for you, you take care of your body first, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the Xuanbing Recipe in your body." ”

Xin Yibo took out a wooden box from his arms, and after opening it, several pills were neatly placed inside, these pills were of different colors and sizes, and the surface exuded a warm glow.

Although Qiu Ze didn't understand the pills, he could see that the quality of these pills was all of the highest quality, and hurriedly took the pills: "Master has worked hard. ”

Xin Yibo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, it's just that there are not many medicinal materials in my room, which is not enough to refine other pills, so let's do it, tomorrow you go to the medicine valley with me, during this time, you are weak, it is better to learn alchemy with me, just right, I will also collect some medicinal materials and come back to refine a few Zhuji Dan for you." ”

After all, Qiu Ze is a teenager, and after staying in the valley for a few months, he is still a little depressed, and when he heard that there is an opportunity to go out of the valley, he can't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you, Master!"

Xin Lan on the side also said excitedly: "Dad, the last time you took me to the Medicine Valley, it was five years ago, this time we go, we must pick more medicine and come back." ”

Xin Yibo said to Xin Lan apologetically: "Lan Lan, next time, I will take you next time I go to the Medicine Valley, and someone needs to stay in the valley." ”

"Ah, why?" Xin Lan's excited face immediately drooped, she sat down beside Xin Yibo, stretched out her hands and shook Xin Yibo's arm: "Dad, you just take me there, I haven't been out of the valley for several years." ”

Xin Yibo stroked Xin Lan's forehead and said, "Lan Lan, you can bear with me, I go to the Medicine Valley this time, I don't know how much time it will take, when you were refining the Zhuji Dan for you, did you forget?" We stayed in the Medicine Valley for a month to find all the medicinal materials, but not now, although I tried my best to suppress it, but when I took Qiu Ze to apprentice that day, there were still a lot of flaws, presumably your teachers and uncles already knew that I was seriously injured, I am afraid that the three of us will go to the Medicine Valley together, and the Lingchou Valley will be snooped on by people from other peaks and valleys, although we do not have any natural treasures in the Lingchou Valley, but after all, this is our home, and you don't want someone to break into the house indiscriminately, right?"

Xin Lan let go of his hand aggrievedly, twisted his head to the side, and turned his back to Xin Yibo.

"Okay. Xin Yibo walked behind Xin Lan and patted her on the shoulder: "Isn't your Xuanbing Technique about to break through?"

Xin Lan is a girl after all, her mood changes very quickly, she can't care about erasing the tears from the corners of her eyes, she turns her head and says in surprise: "Dad, really?"

Xin Yibo said with a smile: "The disciple of Qi Yunguan, when you reach the third level of spiritual cultivation, you can go to Qianxi Mountain to catch the white crane and refine it into a mount, in the past, I had a lot of things, plus your foundation is unstable, this matter has been put on hold, rest assured, Lan Lan, I promise you, you make a beautiful mat at home, and when we come back, you will have a white crane to ride." ”

Xin Lan burst into tears and laughed: "Okay! Dad, you are not allowed to prevaricate me!"
