Chapter 236: Rare Birds and Beasts
"snort!"
Xiao Jiuer waved her little hand, and the arrow fell weakly to the ground.
"What's going on?"
The hunters rubbed their eyes.
Why did the arrow that was shot out suddenly fall?
But they don't have time to think about that now.
"Brothers, chase!"
"That little baby looks strange. If we offer her up to him, we'll have a lifetime of wealth and glory!"
"What are you thinking about?" A cold female voice suddenly sounded.
The hunters were startled, "Who?"
I looked around but didn't see a single person.
"I am your mother." The voice said leisurely.
The hunters were furious: "Stop playing tricks! We are only here to hunt. We don't want to interfere with other people's business!"
"Hunting?" the voice snorted. "Son, explain to your mother what kind of prey is a little kid?"
The hunters stopped talking, they had no time for talking.
This sudden sound, like the arrow that had just fallen, was very wrong, but they didn't have time to think too much about it.
Just then.
"Girl!" A man's voice came from the front.
Then, a burly man appeared in their sight.
What was strange was that when the wolves saw the man they did not hide or attempt to attack him. Instead they wagged their tails as if seeking shelter.
The man picked up the baby from the wolf's belly and stood in front of the wolves.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
White wolf hair kept coming out of the little baby's mouth.
After the human appeared, Yin Yan pushed her under the wolf's belly and refused to let her come up.
She ate a mouthful of fur and was no longer hungry.
The hunters rushed forward and were shocked to see the wolves surrounding the man, who were as obedient as domestic dogs.
Who are this man and this doll?
Can they tame wolves?
If such a person is handed over, it would be considered a meritorious service, right?
"Who are you?" Ye Yanping looked at the hunters.
"We're here to hunt."
"You guys aren't from around here, are you? You look unfamiliar."
"It doesn't matter!" The hunters drew their bows and arrows. "Move aside, swords have no eyes, be careful not to hurt you!"
"No!" Little Dumpling stretched out his little hand fiercely and ordered like a little adult, "Wolf, go!"
Yin Yan glanced at her and led the wolves away at a gallop.
The hunters were about to chase after him, but Ye Yanping stood in front of them and said with a smile:
"Everyone, these wolves are not ordinary wolves. They are spiritual. They saved many people during the snowstorm. Please let them go!"
The hunters saw that the fat meat they had in their hands was about to fly away, and they shouted angrily: "You said to let it go? Who do you think you are? Get out of here!"
As he said that, he pushed him.
Ye Yanping remained motionless, "Everyone, please leave here quickly. There are bears in this mountain."
The group laughed, "Bear? We've caught the bear!"
Ye Yanping scratched his head, "Then you are all very lucky."
Ye Yanping was quite envious, as he had never hunted a bear before.
"I'm going down the mountain first."
As he said this, he picked up Xiao Jiuer and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" The group of people suddenly surrounded them.
"What does this mean?" Ye Yanping asked in surprise.
"Isn't it hard to understand?" the tall man in the lead said, "If you hadn't interfered today, we would have already captured the wolf king and several cubs!"
"I told you, this wolf is intelligent and can't be hunted," Ye Yanping said patiently. "Besides, you've already hunted a bear, so today's trip isn't in vain. I'll make amends to you all, okay?"
"You think you can get away with it just by apologizing?" the tall man sneered. "I hunt whatever I want. What's it to you? Did you get our consent to let the wolf go?"
"That's right!" others echoed, "You caused us losses, you must compensate us!"
Ye Yanping asked good-naturedly, "What kind of compensation do you all want? I can go to the mountains and hunt some other game and give it to you as compensation."
The hunters laughed and said, "That's easy for you to say! A wolf king and six wolf cubs! What kind of game is so valuable?"
"You can't afford to pay it back even if you lose everything!"
Ye Yanping frowned slightly, "What do you want?"
The tall man stared at the little girl and said, "It's very simple. Just hand over the little baby in your arms to us, and the matter will be settled!"
Ye Yanping's eyes widened: "What did you say?!"
"I say, we want this baby!" The tall man said arrogantly, "If you agree quickly, you can avoid a beating!"
Ye Yanping suddenly burst into laughter.
The tall man was stunned, "What are you laughing at?!"
"I knew it, there's no one in this world who doesn't like my daughter!" Ye Yanping said happily, "You think my daughter is cute too, right? I'm telling you, because you have good taste, I've decided not to beat you up! Go away!"
Hunters: "..."
This person must be sick!
"Hand over the baby!" the tall man threatened. "In this deserted place, I could kill you and no one would know!"
"What do you mean no one knows?!"
"Do you think we are dead?!"
Following the angry voice, a large group of Heihe villagers, sweating all over, rushed over.
Ye Yanping turned around and asked, "Why are you all here?"
"Thank goodness they're here!" the villagers said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't know who would be so shameless as to dare to take advantage of Master Xiaojiu!"
"Which village are you from?!" The village head, supported by two men, came over breathlessly, "Tell me your name right now! I want to find your village head!"
The hunters looked at the villagers who kept pouring in and felt a little panicked, but they didn't show it on their faces.
"We are from Chishui County! Where can you find our village head?"
After hearing this, the villagers immediately started cursing.
"You're not from Xianchuan County, why are you hunting in Wild Bear Ridge?"
"Exactly! You talk like this is your territory!"
"Get out of here! Leave your prey behind! If you want to hunt, go back to Chishui County!"
The tall man knew that he was no match for so many people, so he immediately softened his attitude.
"Everyone, we didn't come here intentionally to hunt! We were forced to do this! If we don't complete our mission today, we'll go back to jail!"
"What does that mean? What's the mission?" No one understood.
"Don't you know?" the hunters asked in surprise. "Logically, every county in Ganning County should be the same!"
"What's the same?" The villagers became more and more confused.
"Didn't the magistrate of Xianchuan County issue a notice allowing you to go into the mountains and capture rare birds and animals alive?"
"No!" The villagers looked at each other.
"That's strange!" the hunters sighed, "We've been in the mountains for almost a month!"
"Why do we need to catch rare birds and animals?" The villagers' curiosity was aroused.
"How come you guys in Xianchuan County don't even know about this?" The hunters were a little surprised. "What's your county magistrate for? He didn't even inform you of such an important matter?"
Villagers of Heihe Village: “…”
They really didn't know what the county magistrate did for a living, after all, they had never seen him before.
The hunter said mysteriously, "I heard that the emperor's favorite little princess loves rare birds and animals the most."
"Think about it, these officials are racking their brains to think of ways to get promoted..."
