After making sure that no one nearby could hear them talking, Tiantian and Song Shuqian looked at each other and whispered, "There's something wrong with that old lady."
Song Shuqian said, "When she got close, every cell in my body screamed danger. It's never been like this before."
Tiantian also said, "She has lost more than one life."
This intuition of hers was gained through actual combat in the last days and it was never wrong.
Song Shuqian suppressed her panic and asked, "What should we do?"
"You performed very well just now. Just keep going. We must not let her find out that we have made a guess, otherwise it will be dangerous."
Song Shuxi nodded, then suddenly leaned on Tiantian's shoulder as if unintentionally.
Tiantian let go of the fish, and it fell directly into the fire. The two of them jumped up and tried to rescue it in a hurry.
The old lady had just approached the fish, but they were not brave enough to eat it directly. If something had been added to it, they would not even know how they died.
Song Shuqian's eyes were filled with regret, "Tiantian, it's all my fault. I'm clumsy and can't do anything right. It's over now. The fish you worked so hard to grill is gone."
Tiantian's eyes were full of tolerance and pampering, "It's okay, I brought some dry food, just eat a little, and then we'll go back. I'll make it for you in the evening, so that mom can have a taste too."
Song Shuqian smiled sweetly at her.
The two men took out the dry food they had brought with them and drank the water in the pot, taking a bite of bread and sips of water.
After eating, I turned off the fire and checked again to make sure everything was cleaned up before leaving.
Just like when they came here, the two of them talked and laughed along the way.
After they left, the old lady came out from the darkness and confirmed that they had not found anything. She looked hesitant, not sure whether to let them go.
I followed them quietly, intending to take another look.
When Fu Dian finds someone behind him, he will rush over and catch that person.
Song Shuqian squatted down and hugged it, comforting it, "You said you are a dog, but you are as greedy as a cat. This fish can't be eaten. It's mushy. I will make it for you when we get home."
She kept stroking its fur and whispered, "Be good, I have a plan."
Feeling comforted by their owner, Fudian followed Song Shuxi and the others obediently. When they saw something delicious on the way, they would pick it and take it back.
He looked like he was not in a hurry and could continue shopping.
Maybe God was taking care of them. In a very hidden bush, Song Shuxi found a group of sika deer.
This is good stuff, very nutritious.
She pulled Tiantian's hand and motioned for her to look.
Tiantian also saw what was inside through the gap.
I was just thinking about how to show off my muscles to the people following me, when I came across this good thing.
Tiantian asked Song Shuxi for a bow and arrow, drew the bow and shot arrows, and with three consecutive arrows, she hit two elk.
Seeing the herd of deer running away, Tiantian hurried to kill the two injured deer.
He killed them one by one with his sword, and his moves were quick, accurate and ruthless.
The old lady following behind narrowed her eyes, she was mistaken, the silent one was indeed very skilled, no wonder he dared to run into the woods.
Worried that the smell of blood would attract wild animals, Tiantian cut some branches and quickly made a simple sled, which she let two dogs pull in front.
The technique is clean and neat.
Now the old lady became interested. His skills were so good, it seemed like he had learned them since childhood. In this day and age, if a man is willing to educate his daughter so carefully, and considering that there are many new soldiers joining the army recently, then it is very likely that she is a child from an officer's family. In this way, the old lady gave Tiantian a father who was a military officer.
By the way, it also adds a good background to Song Shuxi. Both parents are scientific researchers and are too busy, so they can only entrust their child to trusted friends.
This friend is the sweet military officer dad.
Why do you think so?
Song Shuqian's words and actions show that she comes from a scholarly family, and that kind of quality cannot be faked. But she also had the agility of a soldier, which might have been a habit she acquired after living in such an environment for a long time.
The old lady convinced herself.
He followed with a smile, ready to establish a relationship with them.
And just like that, they met again at a fork in the road.
The old lady still looks very kind. "You two girls are amazing. You actually hunted two deer. These animals are not easy to catch. They are very vigilant."
Song Shuqian looked like she was protecting her own child, no longer as casual as before, and it was obvious that she was afraid that the girl would snatch the deer away.
"We are lucky. These deer were not on guard. We are going to take these two back to the village and share them with everyone. We will not keep them for ourselves, nor will we share them with you."
That look was very overbearing, and very much in line with people's obsession with meat at that time.
The old lady didn't care about her defense, and was slightly satisfied. "Whatever you hunt is yours. Little girl, what do you think of me? I know my limits. Let's go down the mountain together."
Song Shuqian breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue at Tiantian, and acted a little coquettishly.
"Aunt, you come down the mountain so early. I don't think you caught any prey."
"Auntie is here to collect herbs. My home is far from here. If we leave now, it will be dark when we get back."
Song Shuqian was a little confused, "Aunt, you are not from Dawa Village. I thought you were from there too."
The aunt waved her hand and said, "My home is far away, in Xiaoyao Village below. If I wasn't short of some medicine, I wouldn't come here."
Song Shuqian expressed her admiration at the right time, "Oh, you are a doctor. My mother-in-law admires doctors very much, saying that they save lives and heal the wounded. It's late today, so when you have time in the future, come to Dawa Village to find us. Just say there is a family with two beautiful young wives, and we will point them out to you.
The aunties in our village are very nice. "
Tiantian was paying attention to Song Shuqian while looking around. After confirming that the old lady had no accomplices, she secretly gave Song Shuqian a look.
Song Shuqian understood immediately.
As they reached the foot of the mountain, Song Shuxi and Tiantian struggled to support the two deer.
The old lady wanted to help, but was stopped by Song Shuqian. What a joke! They don’t want to waste such good stuff.
She said, "Auntie, I won't bother you. If my mother knew that we asked such an old aunt to help us, she would definitely criticize us."
She keeps calling me "Auntie" and "You are old" and even an old lady doesn't want to listen.
Tiantian noticed that she clenched and unclenched her fists several times. She was worried about the old lady, afraid that she would be irritated by her sisters.
During this time together, the old lady became more certain of their identities and gradually relaxed her vigilance towards Song Shuqian. He even exposed his back to her twice.
Song Shuqian suppressed the urge in her heart. They had no idea of each other's abilities, so she only had one chance and couldn't be impatient.
The old lady was indeed testing her, and after testing her twice in a row, she became more certain that this was a naive girl who was too well protected by her family, and she was ready to start with her.
After confirming that the time was almost right, Tiantian nodded to Song Shuqian and took the first step.
The old lady reacted quickly and turned around to avoid it. Song Shuqian took advantage of the situation and attacked him with a knife.
Wei Jianguo had trained her many times, and she had it all memorized by muscle on how to knock people out without killing them.
The old lady fell down with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
She never thought that she would fall into the hands of a "naive guy".
