Chapter 219 Lost
Thinking of the sika deer that the monster wanted, Zhao Yuntian resigned himself to his fate and walked deeper into the dense forest.
Bai Zongren and his group entered the deep forest and walked for most of the day but still hadn't reached their destination.
"Dad, where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
Bai Dalang rubbed his sore legs and felt more tired than after a forced march.
"It's almost there, just around the corner."
"Dad, without King Kong leading the way, are you lost?"
Bai Li looked at the familiar scene around him. There were towering trees everywhere, and the ground was overgrown with weeds and covered with fallen dead branches and leaves.
It was all the same walking around, and she was getting dizzy.
Bai Zongren felt obviously guilty for a moment, looked up at the surroundings, and called out, "Third Brother, you lead the way. You were the one who followed King Kong yesterday, so you should be right!"
"Me? Brother, you're not kidding, are you? We were together yesterday, and you didn't even recognize the road, so how could I?"
Bai Zongze pointed at his nose and almost jumped up, "Don't count on me, don't put such a big hat on my head."
Bai Zongren cast his gaze on Bai Zongrui's face again, "Brother, don't look at me, I don't recognize you either."
"Well, if no one knows the place, then it would be a wasted trip, right?"
Bai Li looked at his father with resentment. He was good at fighting in battles, but he was so unreliable when it came to finding his way!
"Um, King Kong ran too fast yesterday. We were so anxious to catch up that we didn't even look at the road. Suddenly, it stopped, so..."
"However, I remember that we reached a cliff and the road was cut off. Just as we were about to start digging, Zhao Yuntian surrounded us."
Bai Zongren tried to make up for it, saying that if he tried hard, he would definitely be able to remember it, but the main thing was...
"Look, there are some sika deer over there. Their meat is very nutritious. Should we go and hunt them?"
Bai Dalang now lives like a child, carefree and not taking anything to heart.
Sometimes Bai Li really wondered if her elder brother had become a different person, or if he had been so traumatized by Bai Yueguang's broken engagement that he had become a fool.
However, she watched the sika deer swaggering past and her hands felt itchy. What should she do?
"Dad, why don't we sit down and rest for a while, drink some water and continue looking?"
Bai Li acted as if she was thinking about everyone, but unfortunately her occasional glances at the sika deer betrayed her.
"You two, do you think you're just out for fun?..."
"Brother, why don't we sit down and sort out the route? Just brute-forcing it like this isn't the solution."
Bai Zongrui gave a pertinent suggestion, and then he saw that his boy began to get ready and was eager to try.
"Okay, rest here for a stick of incense."
Bai Zongren panted and finally made a decision. If they were lost, it would be better to adjust the route, otherwise they would only get further and further away from the goal.
The dense forest was filled with layers of leaves and trees that were so dense that no air could penetrate. The sun shone through the treetops, and the air on the ground was so thin and hot that it was difficult to even breathe.
Everyone was soaked, and their clothes were wet and dry again.
If they hadn't all been trained and had good physiques from battlefields, they would have probably fainted from heatstroke by now!
"Dad, uncle, you guys rest here. We'll go over there and take a look. We can also get some water."
Bai Sanlang made up a lie and wanted to leave. Bai Zongren waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly, "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to go, go ahead. Don't get in the way!"
"Okay, Dad, let's go!"
Even the honest and steady Bai Erlang lost his patience and couldn't control his hands when he saw his prey.
"Brother, are you okay with your injury?"
Bai Li's worried eyes met his second brother's inquiring gaze, "Second brother, I'm asking you a question, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm watching. How did my little sister, who needed my protection, become the powerful and majestic Marshal Bai?"
Bai Erlang subconsciously said what he had kept in his heart for a long time, and only after he finished speaking did he feel several unfriendly glances from the people around him.
"Bai Erlang, what nonsense are you talking about? Li'er only became strong after divorcing Zhao Yuntian. If it weren't for Li'er on the road to exile, we might not have reached Qianxi safely."
Seeing that he suspected his sister, Bai Dalang, who always argued with Bai Li, couldn't stand it anymore and looked at his brother with anger.
Although we now know that the emperor has secretly made arrangements to prevent them from starving to death or freezing to death during exile, it is certain that they will suffer a little in order to conceal their tracks.
But with the rise of her younger sister, the family not only did not lose weight when they arrived in Qianxi, but everyone gained weight.
The prisoners who were exiled on the same route, apart from barely escaping death, all looked like worthless people.
"Brother, I didn't say anything, I was just joking, just joking!"
Bai Erlang felt heartbroken when he saw Bai Li’s hurt eyes. This was the real little sister who needed his protection when they were little.
If anyone dares to question his sister in the future, he will be angry with him!
Bai Li ignored his second brother and turned away.
To be honest, facing her meticulous second brother, she felt guilty for a moment.
Later, her eldest brother came to her aid and the matter was covered up.
That was close!
This second brother is so powerful, nothing can be hidden from him!
"What are you still dawdling about? The deer have already run away!"
In the distance, Bai Sanlang and others could not wait any longer and attacked the prey.
Bai Li hurriedly joined the encirclement. She also wanted the sika deer. There was only the golden retriever in the space now, and it was too lonely. She wanted to put a few deer in to keep it company so that it could work with peace of mind.
Bai Dalang glared at his second brother warningly and went after his sister.
Bai Erlang touched his nose, smiled helplessly, and joined the battle.
With the addition of Bai Dalang's two siblings, they formed a circle which gradually shrank. The sika deer inside began to panic and looked for a breakthrough point everywhere, trying to rush out.
"Don't be impatient, slowly close the encirclement."
"I'm going to catch a few with my bare hands, you guys can handle the rest!"
Bai Li was giving orders while searching for prey. She was used to giving orders to her family, and her family was also used to her orders.
Seeing the right moment, she suddenly attacked, grabbed a deer's antler with lightning speed, and pulled it. A male deer almost as tall as an adult appeared in front of her.
"Got it, got it!"
She was just hugging the deer and shouting with joy, not realizing that because she had a breakthrough, several deer seized the opportunity and rushed towards her.
Bai Li was holding the deer in his hand, so he naturally couldn't intercept it so flexibly.
Bai Dalang put down his bow and arrow and chased after her, for he was afraid of hurting his sister by mistake.
In a flash, Bai Li suddenly reached out and caught another sika deer.
"Haha, now I have both a male and female deer, perfect for me to raise!"
"Sister, could you please stop focusing on raising deer and at least get us a couple to satisfy our cravings?"
Bai Li shrugged and spread his hands to indicate that if he wanted to eat venison, he had to rely on himself.
Seeing that his sister refused to help, Bai Dalang ran after the deer in frustration.
Now that they have broken through the encirclement, it will be difficult to catch them again!
