Chapter 163

"Gurgle!"

A hungry sound was heard.

Luo Chaoyan and Huo Rui subconsciously looked at Huo An.

Huo An glared at the two of them, puffed up his chubby face, and said, "It's not me!"

The two expressed their doubts and felt that he was trying to cover up something!

“Yes…it’s me!”

Liang Chuxun's face turned red, and he looked at Luo Chaoyan and others embarrassedly.

Seeing that he looked a little shy, Luo Chaoyan wanted to laugh. Oops! It's rare to see the little boy looking so shy.

Liang Chumo frowned and said, "Cousin, I told you to remember the time when reading. Didn't you skip lunch again?" My cousin is good in every way except that he is too lazy to eat and sleep.

Luo Chaoyan looked at Fengli and Shulan and asked, "Did you bring anything to eat?"

Pineapple nodded and said, "I brought some snacks."

As she spoke, she took out a few packets of snacks from the package.

Luo Chaoyan asked her to give it to Liang Chuxun.

Liang Chuxun took the snack and said, "Thank you, Madam Huo!"

Huo An walked up to him and said earnestly, "My mother said that eating is the most important thing in the world. Only when you are full can you have the strength to do things."

Liang Chuxun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother An An is right!"

Seeing Fengli actually brought out an iron pot, Luo Chaoyan asked in confusion, "Why did you bring an iron pot?"

Fengli chuckled and said, "Madam, I recently learned how to make something delicious from Miss Li. I wanted to make some for you to try!"

Seeing this, Liang Chumo hurriedly suggested, "Well, Madam Huo, it's a rare opportunity for us to meet, and it can be considered fate. Why don't we make something to eat together?"

"We can hunt some game! I know where there's plenty of game around here!"

The implication is that you will never eat for free.

Huo An also looked at Luo Chaoyan expectantly.

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Chaoyan agreed to their request and told them not to go too far when hunting.

Huo Rui took Yingwu and Liang Chumo and went there on horseback along with several guards.

Liang Chuxun originally wanted to go with them, but Luo Chaoyan felt that he was still hungry and hunting was a physically demanding activity, so she didn't let him go.

They found a shady spot with a good view on the edge of a field and planned to set up camp.

Luo Chaoyan saw a small bamboo forest not far away. Thinking that it was autumn now, she might be able to find some bamboo shoots, so she asked Shu Lan to clean them up while she took Fengli, Huo An and others to pick bamboo shoots.

In the mountains

Liang Chumo was sitting on horseback when he saw a pheasant flying by. He took out his small golden bow, pulled the string to its full length and took aim. He knew that the guards would help him control the speed of the horse, so he just had to concentrate on shooting.

With a "swoosh", the arrow hit the pheasant. After struggling for a few times, the pheasant was dying.

He looked at Huo Rui with some pride and said, "How about it, my archery skills are pretty good, right?"

Huo Rui nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Liang Chumo snorted and said, "Huo Rui, how about we have a competition?"

Huo Rui said: "Of course you can, but I didn't bring my bow and arrow!" He has been practicing martial arts recently, and naturally he has also learned shooting.

Liang Chumo took a look at the bows and arrows in the guards' hands. They were all bows and arrows used by adults and were not suitable for Huo Rui. It seemed that he would have to use them next time.

He took out a wooden gun, pulled the trigger, and said, "My gun is not lethal enough, is it okay for me to let Yingwu help me?"

This was a gift from his mother. Originally it was just a toy wooden gun with little killing power. However, his martial arts master saw that the gun in his hand was somewhat similar to a strong bow and crossbow, so he helped him modify it. The place where the bowstring was previously placed was replaced with a small short arrow, but even so the lethality was still not enough.

Liang Chumo saw the wooden gun in his hand. Although it was a bit novel, it was definitely not as good as his small golden bow. He said generously: "No problem, let's see who can shoot three pheasants first, and whoever wins will win."

Huo Rui nodded without objection.

So the two of them started the competition.

Liang Chumo is obviously a good hunter. Once he sets his sights on a target, no fish will escape his net.

Although Huo Rui was not good at hunting, he was not much behind with the help of Yingwu, a hunting expert.

When Yingwu sees the prey, he would want to fly over and catch the prey in one step, then fly high into the sky and then throw it down. When the prey is about to hit the ground, Huo Rui will raise the gun and shoot the prey.

Although Liang Chumo won in the end, he was very interested in the gun in Huo Rui's hand. When he saw Huo Rui shooting just now, he felt it was amazing and asked, "You said this is a gun?"

Seeing his eyes shining, Huo Rui said proudly, "This is a birthday gift from my mother. I only have one. Don't even think about it."

Liang Chumo did not give up and said, "Why don't you lend it to me for two days?" Fearing that Huo Rui would not agree, he added, "I can also lend you my little golden bow. Don't you want to see our Liang family army? How about I take you there during the autumn hunt?"

Huo Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you really take me to see it?"

Liang Chumo thought about it seriously and said, "You can go, but you have to behave yourself and not walk around or look around. Otherwise, if my uncle catches you, not only you but also me will be in trouble." Thinking of his uncle's stern and cold face, he felt a little nervous.

Huo Rui nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know all the military secrets, so I won't mess around. I'll just watch from the side of your training ground."

"Okay, then it's settled!"

"good!"

Liang Chumo suddenly clicked his tongue a few times and said, "Huo Rui, it seems that you have a good relationship with your stepmother now!" Didn't they even quarrel with each other before?

Huo Rui looked at him like a fool and said, "When you were little, you wore open-crotch pants. Do you think you will still wear them when you grow up? People will naturally change when they grow up!"

Liang Chumo teased, "Didn't you admit defeat because you couldn't beat your stepmother?"

"I heard from Huo Yu that you were beaten badly by your stepmother before!"

Huo Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense!"

"My mother and I are doing fine!" Damn Huo Yu, why are you exposing his shortcomings for no reason!

"What did Huo Yu do to you?" Without some benefit, would Huo Yu tell him these things? It's not like he has nothing to do.

Liang Chumo said with some pain: "He asked for a Lu Ban lock from me!" He gave up his favorite Lu Ban lock just to listen to gossip.

Huo Rui rolled his eyes at him and said, "You asked for it!"

"Well, we have caught enough to eat. It's time to go back, or mother will be worried."

Liang Chumo nodded.

When they came back, they saw that Huo An's mouth was full of food, and it made a "crunching" sound when he chewed.

Huo An saw his brothers coming back and said with a smile, "Brothers, you are back. There are delicious foods!"

Liang Chumo asked, "What are you eating?"

After Feng Li poured some river water for them to clean their hands, she smiled and said, "It's popcorn!"

"Popcorn?"

Huo Rui hasn't eaten it yet, but seeing his brother eating it so happily, it must be delicious!

Liang Chumo smacked his lips and asked, "No more?"

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Popcorn tastes best when it's fresh out of the oven. I didn't know when you guys would be back so I didn't leave any for you. Don't worry, I'll let Pineapple make it for you."
