Chapter 281 Bring More People Next Time
"Third, Third Prince?" Lian Xin rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong. But no matter how she rubbed her eyes, the ink-black figure rushing towards the young lady was none other than... the Third Prince who was supposed to be in Shengjing?
Xiao Jiuyue was tripped by a vine on the road and was about to fall flat on her face. A wild boar was chasing her from behind. She gritted her teeth, tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, and silently said to herself: The area between the eyes is the weakest.
Suddenly, Xiao Jiuyue felt a force coming from her waist, and heard a cold voice in her ears: "Be careful."
Xiao Jiuyue looked back, but before she could react, Jun Lie hugged her waist and flew into the air, grabbing the tree trunk next to him and leaping up.
"Hold on tight."
Jun Lie's reminder sounded, and Xiao Jiuyue looked up. The moment she saw Jun Lie, she was dazed for a moment. Then, Xiao Jiuyue grabbed the branch firmly and tried to calm herself down. "The wild boar is hitting the tree. The tree can't bear the weight of both of us. I can..."
"Ahh!" The wild boar screamed and banged its head against the tree.
"Hold on tight."
Jun Lie's voice rang out, and he jumped down and fought with the wild boar. He was wearing a black long gown and fighting the wild boar in the fluttering snow. He handled it with ease. After confirming that the wild boar had no effect on Jun Lie, and Guo Yang also came over, Xiao Jiuyue felt relieved.
"Hey, although this wild boar kid is a little small, it tastes good when roasted." Guo Yang rushed over following the sound and took over the finishing work neatly.
Jun Lie climbed up the tree again and stretched out his hand to her: "It's okay." He looked at her with his inky eyes. He was obviously afraid but still pretended to be extremely calm, which made people want to protect him even more.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at his bony hands, and she grabbed his hand and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Jiuyue was very graceful and not at all shy. When Jun Lie was caught by her, there were only two words in his mind: so soft!
How can there be such soft hands, as soft as tofu?
"Ahem." Xiao Jiuyue cleared his throat and asked, "Third Prince, can we go down now?"
Jun Lie came back to his senses, looked at her and said, "I'm sorry."
His hand fell on her waist, and he jumped down from the tree holding her. Snowflakes were falling, and she felt like she was riding a bungee jumping machine. Her heart was high in her chest, but when she stepped on the soft ground, she felt steady and at ease.
"Lianxin." Xiao Jiuyue stood firm and ran towards Lianxin.
"Miss, I'm fine, Hua Qing is here." Lian Xin's voice was filled with tears. Seeing Xiao Jiuyue running over, she quickly shouted.
"Miss, I just saw a wild boar running away with its cubs. Did you catch a few wild boars?" Hua Qing's voice rang out.
Xiao Jiuyue stopped running instantly. She held the dagger tightly in her hand. When she saw Xiao Jiayuan, her heart was in her throat.
"Sister, run." Xiao Jiayuan shouted at Xiao Jiuyue.
Xiao Jiuyue moved his gaze upwards. Compared with the wild boar cub just now, the wild boar in front of him was an adult wild boar, more than twice the size of the wild boar cub.
"Xiao Jiayuan!" Xiao Jiuyue ran towards Xiao Jiayuan without hesitation, protected Xiao Jiayuan behind him, raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed it fiercely at the wild boar.
The dagger in Xiao Jiuyue's hand felt like it was stabbing into an iron plate, causing her hand to hurt.
"Sister." Xiao Jiayuan grabbed the stick next to him and hit the wild boar again and again without caring about its life.
The wild boar felt pain and seemed to smell the blood of the wild boar babies again, and rushed towards Xiao Jiuyue and Xiao Jiayuan, brother and sister, like a madman.
The expected pain did not come, and Jun Lie kicked the wild boar.
Xiao Jiuyue looked back and saw Jun Lie's broad shoulders blocking her way.
Hua Qing and Guo Yang both rushed over, and soon, the big wild boar, like the little wild boar, would become meat on the table.
"Jiayuan, are you okay? Why are you here on the mountain?" Xiao Jiuyue grabbed Xiao Jiayuan and looked him over. Seeing the obvious marks of a fall on his knee, she asked worriedly, "Are you hurt?"
"Sister, I'm sorry. I heard from the villagers that when it snows, wild boars will come down the mountain to look for food. I heard that your sister went up the mountain, so I wanted to help you." Xiao Jiayuan thought at the time that it was just in the pavilion, not far away, so he ran over without thinking much. Who would have thought that he would run into a big wild boar halfway.
Xiao Jiayuan lowered his head. He always thought that he studied very hard and practiced very hard, but now, it seemed that he still could not help.
"Next time, remember to bring more people." Xiao Jiuyue rubbed his hair.
"Yeah." Xiao Jiayuan nodded affirmatively. Suddenly, he looked at Jun Lie with even more excitement and admiration in his eyes: "Third brother, Master Guo, when did you come?"
"You've grown taller." Jun Lie turned around and glanced at Xiao Jiayuan. He could tell at a glance that he had grown taller.
"I eat two bowls of rice every day. I want to grow taller quickly." Xiao Jiayuan now exercises every day and learns the skills taught by Guo Yang. He has become much stronger and taller.
"Come on." Jun Lie said encouragingly, his eyes falling on Xiao Jiuyue beside him. Looking at her scratched hand, he asked, "Is your hand okay?"
Xiao Jiuyue, who was sitting on the tree pretending to be calm just now, was obviously afraid, but still pretended to be calm. Now facing an adult wild boar that was bigger than the wild boar cub, Xiao Jiuyue resolutely stood in front of Xiao Jiayuan. Xiao Jiayuan, with his thin body, still wanted to protect his sister.
Such a scene shocked Jun Lie, who was born in a royal family. It turned out that there could be no calculation between siblings, and they could protect and sacrifice for each other.
"It's nothing." Xiao Jiuyue said nonchalantly. Xiao Jiayuan beside her said, "Sister, how can you say you're fine? Your hand is injured. You need to go home and apply medicine."
Xiao Jiayuan looked at her, hurriedly pulled Xiao Jiuyue home, and turned back to say, "Third brother, it just so happens that my family made something delicious today."
After returning to the Xiao family, the two big wild boars became a hot commodity in everyone's eyes. After consulting Jun Lie, Xiao Jiuyue decided to give one pound of wild boars to each household in the village.
When Shi Lizheng and the villagers arrived, he looked at the big wild boar and smiled widely. He quickly called people and started to work.
As a male of the Xiao family, Xiao Jiayuan has slowly started to handle the relationship between the Xiao family and the villagers since the sugarcane harvest. For example, this time when it came to the wild boar, Xiao Jiayuan stepped forward, and when he was interacting with Shi Lizheng, he was humble without arrogance, and maintained the style of the Xiao family.
Shi Lizheng praised Xiao Jiayuan highly.
After Xiao Jiuyue bandaged the wound, she asked, "Luo Kui, is Dong Gui back?"
"No? Didn't Donggui go to the county to buy a hot water bottle?" Luokui answered in confusion.
"Donggui is back. Let her come see me." Xiao Jiuyue drank the soup to calm her nerves and said, "Luokui, send some to Lianxin as well."
Luo Kui responded. Xiao Jiuyue finished drinking the soup, put it down, closed his eyes and began to think.
