The old man took out a few sweet potatoes from the basket and gave them to him, asking him to roast them to pass the time. Then he continued to go up the mountain with Zhuzhu on his back.
When He Shan heard the noise, he brought an old soldier and followed.
The old man chased them away and said, "I'm just going to visit a grave. It's fine. You guys go about your business."
He Shan refused and insisted on following.
"Recently, those people from the palace have been causing trouble for the wild animals in the mountains. The wild animals have been chased everywhere and are fighting for territory. It would be bad if one of them ran into the nearby area and scared Zhuzhu."
When the old man heard this, he no longer insisted and slowly led everyone up the mountain.
The old lady’s grave is on the top of the mountain. It’s not very high, but it’s quiet.
The old man put Zhuzhu down, and the fat girl took her favorite snacks to share with her grandmother.
As usual, the old man cleaned up the area around his wife's grave with his own hands, then sat down with his granddaughter in his arms, looking at the valley in the distance and puffing on his empty pipe.
Zhuzhu also got used to it and would talk to her grandfather while eating snacks.
The child didn't have any serious thoughts in his mind. He just thought that the buns steamed by his aunt were delicious and he wanted to eat them again in the future.
The old man asked, "Which ones are better, the ones sold at the city's bun stalls or the ones steamed by my aunt?" This really stumped the fat girl, and she couldn't figure it out even after counting on her fingers for a long time!
The old man laughed heartily, looked into the distance, and the depression in his heart dissipated.
Zhuzhu stretched out her little hand to cover Grandpa's mouth and protested in a baby voice, "Grandpa can't laugh at Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu is not stupid!"
"Yes, no, no!" The old man apologized quickly, fearing that the fat girl would take it seriously and cry again.
He Shan and the old soldier leaned against the tree and couldn't help laughing.
The mountain wind was a bit strong, blowing the remaining snow around. The old man quickly hugged his granddaughter in his arms and whispered about business.
"Zhuzhu, your two brothers have been captured by bad guys this time. The Min family and Mr. Wu have sent people to help find your brothers. Grandpa wants to find some good things to send to their family as a thank you gift from our family.
But the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, so we couldn't dig up any medicinal herbs, and we could only find some wild animals.
"See if there are any deer or roosters nearby? Even painted grouse would be fine. Can you help Grandpa find some?"
Zhuzhu blinked her big eyes and asked, "Grandpa, can I have a 'meat' that's bigger and bigger than Lulu?"
"Rou Rou" is bigger than Lulu?
The old man was confused for a moment when he heard a beast roar suddenly in the distance, shaking the valley.
He Shan and another veteran rushed over and blocked the old man and Zhuzhu behind them.
"Old man, it looks like a big beast! We should get down the mountain quickly!"
The old man suddenly understood what his granddaughter had meant. A glint flashed in his eyes as he replied, "We must have come across something good. He Shan, send Zhuzhu downstairs and call two other people up. Let's go over and take a look. Maybe there's something good to be found?"
He Shan wanted to stop him, but he knew he couldn't stop the old man, so he could only pick up Zhuzhu and run down the mountain.
Zhuzhu wanted to watch the fun too, so she stretched out her chubby little hands to grab her grandfather's sleeves, but the tree next to her quickly became a reflection...
Before she could come to her senses, she had already arrived in front of the wooden house.
"Uncle Banxian, please help keep an eye on Zhuzhu. There's a beast roaring in the mountains, and the old man is calling us over to help. We'll be back soon!"
"Oh, okay, you guys go, I'll take care of Zhuzhu." Banxianer quickly hugged the fat girl in his arms.
He Shan left two veterans behind and took the rest to help the old man.
Banxianer was curious and asked Xiang Zhuzhu, "Aren't you going to visit your grandmother's grave? Why did you change to hunting?"
Zhuzhu covered her mouth with her hands and laughed adorably, "Grandpa is looking for some meat, and I found two big ones!"
Banxianer's mind turned, he guessed a little bit, and couldn't help laughing!
"Little girl, aren't you afraid that people will eat your grandpa like meat?"
"Ah?" The fat girl hadn't expected this and immediately started to worry about her grandfather...
At this moment, the old man also led his men to the place where the beasts roared continuously. This was a small ravine with high mountains on both sides, so it was a little dark here, with only some shrubs growing.
If it were autumn, this would definitely be a good place to find hazelnuts and pick hazel mushrooms, but unfortunately it has become a battlefield today.
An adult Siberian leopard, with stripes all over its body and a slender body, was half lying on a rock. Its eyes were red with anger due to a long bloodstain on its head, and it was full of aggressiveness.
Opposite it was an underage brown bear, standing taller than a strong man. One of the bear's legs seemed to have been bitten off, hanging limply behind it. It growled in pain, as if it was about to eat the Amur leopard!
He Shan's blood boiled as he watched. He leaned over to the old man and whispered, "Uncle, they're fighting for territory! Should we seize the opportunity to capture them all?"
The old man nodded and instructed, "Wait a little longer. Once they've finished fighting, we'll use our bows and arrows. Remember to preserve the fur as much as possible. After all, it makes for a nice-looking gift."
"Got it, uncle." He Shan nodded, but couldn't help but add, "I'm really lucky to have come into the mountains this time. Such a good thing wouldn't come around once in many years!"
The other veterans were also excited, quietly preparing their bows and arrows, ready to jump in and take advantage at any moment!
The Amur leopard and the brown bear had no idea that someone was waiting for them to both suffer losses. Their brains had been burned by hatred, and they fought each other again.
The Amur leopard is not as strong as the brown bear, but it is more flexible.
The brown bear is very strong and can defeat the leopard with one slap no matter how it attacks.
The two sides fought hard, and Mr. Tai and others were fascinated by the fight.
After fighting for two quarters of an hour, the brown bear gradually lost its patience. When it turned over and tried to escape, the leopard bit it on the neck.
The brown bear's paws kicked the leopard's hungry belly hard, leaving it covered in blood!
It's this moment!
The old man waved his hand, and He Shan and others drew their bows and arrows!
The sharp arrow made a sound with the wind, and both the leopard and the brown bear heard it, but it was too late to dodge.
It’s because it’s too close!
Three arrows hit the target, one pierced the leopard's eye, one pierced the brown bear's belly, and the other pierced one of the leopard's legs!
The screams immediately filled the entire ravine, scaring all the wild animals, big and small, nearby to flee in panic!
"It's done!" He Shan and others shouted happily, drew out their daggers and rushed forward!
The two dying kings of the forest were quickly bled out, and they completely understood the pain...
Halfway up the mountain, in front of the Tai family’s cabin, Banxianer was holding Zhuzhu and chewing sweet potatoes.
Banxian couldn't see, which affected his cooking skills. The sweet potatoes were a little burnt. But Zhuzhu didn't mind at all and ate them with great relish.
Both the old man and the child had black lips, which looked especially funny when they laughed.
The two old soldiers were thinking about the mountains, but when they turned around and saw the two of them like this, they couldn't help laughing.
At this time, there was finally movement on the mountain.
"Come and help me! Haha, I found a big deal!" He Shan was rarely as excited as a child!
