Erbao has long wanted to raise a puppy.
But he never had the chance, but now when he saw the furry wolf cub showing its little teeth at him, his heart softened all of a sudden.
"Uncle, can I exchange my eldest brother with you?" Erbao blurted out.
He stared at the wolf cub without blinking, and without even looking up, he continued his sales pitch: "Dabao can also look after the house, and he doesn't eat much."
Dabao: ...Thank you.
The little feet kicked Erbao on the butt, and Erbao sat down on the ground.
He took the little wolf cub in his arms. Strangely, the little wolf cub was showing its front teeth.
When Erbao was held in his arms, she actually stuck out her little tongue and licked him.
The soft pink tongue licked Erbao's arm, shocking him. Even Dabao was amazed. "Wow, raising a wolf cub is so cool."
Hunter Zhou smiled and said, "This wolf cub is for the young master. There is another ferocious wolf cub in the wolf den." He thought that wolf cub was too ferocious and was afraid that his soft and cute little wife at home would be scared, so he didn't dare to bring it back.
Dabao looked at Gu Beiheng with bright eyes and said with envy, "Dad, can I go and bring that wolf cub back?"
"Okay. But you have to bring it back by yourself. And you have to feed it by yourselves. Adults won't help you." Gu Beiheng's eyes moved to the vast mountains and forests behind. The weather was too hot at the moment, so it would be okay to wait here for a while before leaving.
At worst, we can travel at night.
"Okay. I'll go." Dabao climbed onto the carriage and put on his shoes.
Su Qi hurried to put clothes on him.
There are many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests, and it’s not good to expose such fat arms.
Gu Beiheng took the initiative to invite Zhou the Hunter to go with them to the forest. Zhou the Hunter naturally agreed, seeing that Su Qi and his group were so large and it was almost noon.
Pointing to a small courtyard not far away, he said to Gu Beiheng, "That's my home. My wife is the only one at home. You can go over there to rest and have lunch."
The guards were fine.
Su Qi and Qin Wan wanted to find a place to rest, especially since Qin Wan was clearly lacking energy.
Su Qi nodded and agreed.
She left a picture of Liu and Zhang Zhi waiting here for the villagers to give them four fruit soups to drink. The others drove a large carriage to Zhou Hunter's house.
There is wasteland next to Zhou the Hunter's yard, and there is a small stream to the north.
Several guards unloaded the carriage and led the horses to drink water and eat grass, while others took the rice and flour from the carriage to the hunter Zhou's house.
We still had their rice and flour to cook at noon, as the hunters didn’t seem to have much money.
The first thing I saw was a small courtyard. There were some wild flowers planted along the corner of the courtyard wall, and the courtyard was very clean.
Three main rooms.
A kitchen and utility room.
There is a jujube tree in the yard, and various flowers and plants along the corners.
It can be seen that the hostess is a person who knows how to live.
Hunter Zhou opened the door and invited Su Qi and his group in. A woman in plain clothes, whose beauty could not be concealed, walked out of the room.
I was surprised to see so many strangers.
Su Qi stepped forward and explained her purpose.
Madam Zhou hurriedly asked Su Qi and the others to come into the house.
Gu Beiheng, Ying Yi, Ying Er, and Zhi Yi took Dabao and Zhou Liehu away.
Mrs. Zhou went into the kitchen to cook, and Bai Zhi and Su Qi came in to help. Su Qi asked someone to go to the village to find a butcher to buy some pork.
They are of similar age, and judging from the way Madam Zhou speaks, she seems to be able to read.
Su Qi chatted with her for a long time without realizing it.
She also learned from Madam Zhou that the village's harvest was poor this year, and estimated that many families would be unable to eat by the end of the year. "We are lucky to have my husband hunting, but this is not a long-term solution."
Madam Zhou sighed and said, "My husband's family has very few male descendants, all of whom died in the mountains. I can do some embroidery, but there isn't much work needed in this town. There's another war coming up, and I heard the Gu family's army will be here soon."
Su Qi did not reveal their identities.
I just talked about other things with Madam Zhou and gave her some advice.
Wait until Gu Beiheng and the others come back.
Brought a wild boar and a roe deer.
Dabao was indeed holding a little wolf cub. He excitedly told Su Qi that the wolf cub refused to go with him. It was Dabao who tamed the wolf cub himself.
Qin Wan asked in surprise how Dabao was tamed?
Dabao raised his neck proudly and said, "Beat him. Mom and Dad are right. If you encounter someone who doesn't listen, just beat him and that's it."
The little wolf cub hid his head in Dabao's arms and was very obedient.
After the group finished their meal at Hunter Zhou's house, they rested for a while before leaving. Mrs. Zhou packed a basket of dried wild vegetables and gray radish strips for Su Qi.
"I have some pickled vegetables here. They are sour with some dogwood and a little spicy. You have no appetite since you are in a hurry to travel, so try some. They are all country flavors, so don't mind them." Madam Zhou asked the hunter Zhou to move things while she was talking.
Su Qi was not polite and gave Ying Yi a look.
Yingyi hurried forward to take it.
Su Qi did not take the Zhou family's things in vain, and left a bag of grain seeds and vegetable seeds. In addition, Gu Beiheng also taught Zhou the hunter some self-defense techniques.
He was given a handy weapon.
After the group left.
Hunter Zhou and his wife were still staring at the empty end of the road. "Wife, who do you think they are?"
"I don't know, but it's different from the rich people we see."
"That Master Gu has a murderous aura about him. The servants around him are all battle-hardened."
"Is it the General?"
Hunter Zhou was also confused. Is the general so approachable? "Anyway, he is not a general of Emperor Wu and Prince Rongshan."
"I actually hope he's one of the generals of the Gu family army." Zhou the Hunter held a sharp sword in his hand and touched the blade with his hand. Admiration flashed in his eyes.
Su Qi and the others traveled for another day.
Arrived at the outskirts of Yanling Prefecture.
Yingyi walked over and whispered a few words into Gu Beiheng's ear.
Gu Beiheng pondered for a moment, and finally gave the order to enter Yanling Mansion.
Arrived at the city gate.
The soldiers who were checking were very strict, and the line was very long and stretched for a long distance.
Ying Yi drove straight past the crowd and was scolded by the soldiers. "No one is allowed to pass through here except on official business. Everyone, line up."
Ying glanced at him coldly and threw the token in his hand over.
The soldier took the token and looked at it from front to back, frowning. "This token looks so familiar."
The person next to him peeked over and slapped him. "You blind bastard, are you using your eyes to smell something?"
The man took the token and handed it to Yingyi, then bent over and asked the soldiers to let him pass quickly.
"Master, there are still some remnants in Yanling City that have not been eliminated. You must be careful." The man gave a few instructions when Ying Yi passed by.
Ying nodded without dismounting. He glanced coldly at the bewildered soldier and asked, "Is it foolish for such a fool to stay at the city gate?"
"Hey, I understand."
After Yingyi drove into the city, he went straight to the government office in Yanling.
The government office was now under the control of the Gu family army, and Military Advisor Mo was there handling official business. He was so busy that his head was overwhelmed. These Yanling families were specifically against him.
Military Advisor Mo was so angry that he wanted to kill these people.
"Damn bastards. These old guys dare to be so arrogant in front of Rongshan. They are bullying me because I am young." Military Advisor Mo cursed continuously.
A guard outside the door reported:
"Military Advisor Mo, General Gu is here."
"Which General Gu?" Military Advisor Mo didn't hear clearly for a moment.
"General Gu from our Gu Family Army." The guard was a little confused. What happened to Military Advisor Mo? He only saw a figure flash before him, and then Military Advisor Mo was gone.
