The two veterans immediately rushed over, as if their feet were equipped with springs, wishing they could cover a distance of ten feet with one step!
He Shan and others really needed help because the brown bear and the Siberian leopard were too big, each weighing at least three to five hundred pounds. It was difficult for two people to carry them, not to mention the rugged mountain road.
Even Mr. Tai, who had only one arm, carried several bows and arrows and tried his best to help share the burden.
Banxian'er sniffed the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air and asked with a smile, "Oh, you really ran into a big guy!"
"Haha, that's right!" Old Man Tai laughed and responded, "These two guys were fighting for territory, and we just took advantage! What a great harvest today!"
As he spoke, he was about to touch the head of his little granddaughter, the great hero, but when he remembered the smell of blood on his body, he hurried to wash his hands.
He Shan and his friends were exhausted. After taking a break and drinking some water, they quickly made the suggestion.
"Uncle, should we send the brown bear and the Siberian leopard back to the village? The bloody smell is too strong and could easily attract wolves!"
The old man didn't dare to neglect it and replied, "Okay, you guys send the brown bear and the Siberian leopard down. I'll also find some rabbits and hazel grouse as a bonus!"
He Shan was worried about leaving the two old people and one child in the mountains, so he discussed with some veterans, cut some branches, quickly tied two sleds together, and tied the Siberian leopard and the brown bear to the sleds. In this way, it was very easy for the two of them to pull a sled down the mountain.
In the end, two veterans stayed behind to serve as escorts, while the rest returned with a full load.
The two old soldiers were both good archers, so without the old man's instructions, they started wandering around in the nearby woods.
The old man rested for a while and wanted to go for a walk, but his stomach started to growl.
Zhuzhu hugged her grandfather's thighs and cried in a baby voice, "Grandpa won't leave. Grandpa will bake some buns for us!"
When they went up the mountain, Liu Dongniang brought them some frozen buns, which smelled delicious after being baked.
The old man felt that eating only buns was boring, after all, there was Banxianer as a guest.
He coaxed his granddaughter, "Sit with Grandpa Banxianer. I'll go hunt you a rabbit and a pheasant. We'll roast them and eat them!"
But Zhuzhu, perhaps frightened by the smell of blood, refused to let go, yelling, "No, no, Grandpa won't leave! Zhuzhu asked Rourou to come over!"
Her little face was buried in her grandfather's arms. The old man didn't hear clearly for a moment, and when he wanted to ask again, five or six flying dragons fell from the sky with a crackling sound. The big tree next to it was also in trouble. Seven or eight fat rabbits banged into it, followed by hazel grouse with colorful tails...
Old Master Tai subconsciously looked at Banxianer. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that his eyes could not see!
Zhuzhu shook her grandfather and asked in a baby voice, "Grandpa, is this meat enough?"
"Enough, that's enough!" The old man quickly sat down and hugged his granddaughter in his arms. "My little ancestor, could you tell me in advance next time? My old arms and legs can't stand such a scare!"
The little fat on Zhuzhu's face was full of innocence. She raised two fat fingers and admitted her mistake in a small voice, "Zhuzhu was wrong. Zhuzhu was afraid that grandpa would be hungry!"
"Okay, okay, grandpa's Zhuzhu is so filial, grandpa is happy!" The old man couldn't bear to see his granddaughter suffer any injustice, so he quickly put the matter behind him.
He placed Zhuzhu in Banxian'er's arms and said, "Sit with Grandpa Banxian for a while. I'll go get the rabbits and start roasting them right away!"
Zhuzhu clapped her hands happily. Banxianer held the fat girl in his arms with a smile on his face, as if he knew nothing, but also seemed to know everything.
The old man had no choice but to simply gather the rabbits, pheasants and flying dragons together, put those that needed to be put in baskets, and locked up those that needed to be locked up.
The little girl was soft-hearted. These wild animals were just unconscious. If they weren't properly treated, they would run away when they regained consciousness...
When He Shan and his men hurriedly returned from the foot of the mountain, the aroma of meat had already filled the air in front of the wooden house.
He looked at the pheasants and rabbits in the basket and couldn't help but ask the two veterans in surprise, "What's the good day for hunting today? You've got so many good things again!"
The two veterans smiled bitterly, and one of them replied, "We wandered around in the woods for a while and only managed to kill one pheasant. The rest were all hunted by the old man himself!"
The old man was afraid that they would reveal their true identity if they continued talking, so he took over the conversation and asked, "Have you sent the things home?"
He Shan quickly responded, "Yes, uncle, Uncle Jiu has already sharpened his knife and is ready to help peel the skin. Freeze it overnight, and it won't be delayed at all for sending it to the city tomorrow."
The old man nodded and smiled, "Okay, then send it to the Min family and the Wu family. They can do whatever they want with it."
After saying that, he asked everyone to sit down. Some people wanted to bake buns, some people wanted to make porridge, and there was also roasted sweet potatoes and roasted rabbit. It was quite a rich meal.
When eating out, it doesn’t really matter whether the food is good or not; what matters is the mood and the environment.
The sun was high in the sky at this moment. Although the sunlight was dim, it still brought some warmth to the woods. The north wind had probably gone home for dinner and no longer blew the snow particles everywhere, allowing everyone to enjoy a picnic in peace!
Zhuzhu had eaten a lot of roasted sweet potatoes before, and she also ate a roasted bun and a rabbit leg, which made her belly round.
The old man was afraid that she would have indigestion, so he let her play nearby.
The two who had eaten and drunk enough followed beside them. Although this was their own territory, they could not be careless at any time. After all, the two boys were lost just outside their village.
Last night, all the veterans got together to discuss it.
Although the master never blamed them for this incident, they still felt bad about it.
Since arriving at the Tai family, they have been extremely considerate of their needs, providing them with three meals a day, clothes and shoes for all seasons, and a monthly stipend. They also have only one mission, which is to protect the safety of the Tai family.
As a result, they haven't done this one thing yet, which makes them feel ashamed and angry.
This must never happen again, otherwise we brothers will be too embarrassed to stay here any longer!
Old Master Tai had no idea that the old soldiers were carrying such a heavy burden. He was talking to Banxianer about the nearest auspicious day, because Chen Zhao was going to the grassland, and Tai Jiye couldn't sit still, so he would definitely follow.
Now that we have to take so many people out with us, we have to find a good day to set off. I also hope that they will be safe and sound.
This was Banxian'er's specialty, and he calculated immediately that three days later would be the best auspicious day of the month.
The old man knew what was going on and felt relieved.
Zhuzhu was naughty. She made a snowball and wanted to attack her grandfather. However, the coat and pants her mother wore on her were too thick. She tripped and the snowball hit her face.
The fat girl suddenly caught a cold and sneezed loudly.
When the old man heard this, he packed up his things and went down the mountain to go home.
At this time, there was a commotion on the mountain road. A short while later, Chen Zhao and Tai Jiye arrived with three boys.
