Chapter 142: Cheating a Fool
"Just follow me."
"It's so cold!" Yun Ting shivered, "I hope we won't fall down the mountain."
"Shut up."
But perhaps it was Yun Ting's bad mouth, good things didn't work, but bad things did. Before the two of them had walked far, Yun Ting was suddenly tripped by something and fell heavily.
Xiao Yan reached out to grab him, but he lost his balance and was pulled down by him, falling beside him.
Yun Ting: "...What did I say? Fortunately, we haven't reached the mountain yet. If we were halfway up the mountain, rolling down, do you dare to imagine it?"
Okay, now he forced himself to understand.
But to die for a love rival is a huge injustice.
What? Make room for others. You die so consciously.
Xiao Yan ignored him and lay there without moving.
Yun Ting suddenly panicked, turned over and lay on his chest, patting his face, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, you can't be so fragile."
He's not done anything yet.
Xiao Yan: "...stay away from me."
Yun Ting breathed a sigh of relief. "Why didn't you make a sound? I was so scared. I thought something happened to you! Get up! Aren't you too cold?"
Xiao Yan cursed "noisy" before standing up.
Yun Ting brushed off the dust on himself and asked, "Why is the ground still wet?"
"It's the second half of the night and it's frosty." Xiao Yan said lightly.
"No wonder it's so cold. Xiao Yan, aren't you cold? I'm getting goose bumps." Yun Ting said.
"cold."
"Cold? You're cold too!"
His answer was normal, but Yun Ting was stunned.
"I'm not leaving." Xiao Yan said.
"Let's go back?" Yun Ting's eyebrows lit up. "That's what I was saying. It's pitch black. Are we here to feed the wolves?"
"No."
Xiao Yan picked a rock that was sheltered from the wind, dug a shallow pit on the spot, and surrounded it with gravel to form a circle.
Then he broke off a lot of dead pine branches from the side.
Yun Ting squatted beside him, rubbing his hands and breathing out, watching him take out a tinder from his arms, blew on it twice and ignited the tinder.
The fire crackled, and Xiao Yan produced a few "hair balls" from nowhere. He smashed them open with a stone, revealing the shiny oil inside.
chestnut.
"It turns out that chestnuts have thorns!" Yun Ting found it very novel.
After a while, the sound of the little god flapping its wings was heard, and there seemed to be a sound of some struggling.
It flew over the two men's heads, loosened its claws, and something fell.
Xiao Yan caught it easily.
Yun Ting realized belatedly that it was actually a long-tailed pheasant.
The pheasant was still struggling. Xiao Yan gently twisted its neck, and the pheasant immediately became motionless and lifeless.
Yun Ting: “…”
Suddenly I felt a chill on my neck.
Xiao Yan took out a dagger, drained the pheasant's blood, cut open its belly, peeled off the skin and feathers, removed the internal organs, then skewered it on a branch and roasted it over the fire.
He even took out a small porcelain bottle of salt and sprinkled salt on the chicken.
He also roasted the steamed buns that Daya gave him over the fire.
The series of movements were so smooth and flowing that Yun Ting's eyes widened.
The aroma of meat soon wafted out, and the aroma of bursting chestnuts also made people drool.
Xiao Yan distributed the steamed buns, chicken and chestnuts to Yun Ting. After the two of them finished eating, he moved the fire aside and spread a thick layer of dry branches on the place where the fire had just been made.
"Go to sleep," he said.
Then he lay down first.
Yun Ting: "...We need to sleep. Why don't we go home and sleep here?"
How cold!
"When it gets light, we'll go look for the deer."
Yun Ting was so sleepy that he thought he couldn't fall asleep. However, he felt the residual warmth from under him on the thick branches and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, he was pushed awake by Xiao Yan.
He opened his sleepy eyes, but he still hadn't forgotten his "mission". "It's time to go find the deer."
"No need, get up, let's go home." Xiao Yan said lightly.
Yun Ting was full of questions.
Regret again?
Why does Xiao Yan feel so strange today?
Just as he was about to ask, he saw a deer out of the corner of his eye, its four hooves tied with hemp ropes, and its eyes were filled with panic.
"Where did it come from?" Yun Ting's eyes almost popped out.
"Did you catch it?" Xiao Yan glanced at him and was already packing up his bow and arrows.
"You shot me? Why don't I see any wounds on your body?"
"Captured alive."
"Your luck and ability are really..." Yun Ting gave a thumbs up, his admiration for Xiao Yan was like a surging river.
The two men returned with the deer.
What Lu Qiniang saw was that Xiao Yan and Yun Ting came back dirty and in a disheveled manner, carrying a deer on their backs.
Xiao Yan probably didn't sleep all night, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
But when he saw Lu Qiniang, his eyes instantly brightened and warmed, with a hint of a smile, "Qi Niang, I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission."
"What's the use of life or death? It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. Erya, go call Doctor Hu and let him show you how to cut this deer antler. Let him do it. Let's not ruin this precious thing!"
She took the deer from Xiao Yan and said to him, "Come into the house and wash and change your clothes. I'm sorry for making you tired."
Yun Ting: "Not bad, not tired."
"You slept for a whole night, of course you're not tired." Xiao Yan said lightly.
Yun Ting felt a little embarrassed: "... Mainly, you didn't call me!"
As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them again, the deer appeared, as if falling from the sky.
He is worthy of being called the Great General who Defeated the Enemy!
It has to be Xiao Yan!
"How is he?" Xiao Yan asked Lu Qiniang.
"He's still the same. He's had a fever all night and is talking nonsense." Lu Qiniang sighed, "I'm really worried that his smart brain will be burned out. Don't worry about it. Clean up first and have a good rest."
"Yeah. I'll come right after I change my clothes."
Xiao Yan went in to change clothes. Yun Ting didn't even have a place to change clothes, so he just squatted on the ground and stared at the deer.
This is amazing to see.
Why, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this deer looks familiar?
Especially when he saw that the deer's tail was missing a part, his eyes widened, "Xiao Yan!"
"What are you yelling about?" Xiao Yan changed his clothes and went out.
"This deer...you—"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan's face was calm and frank.
Seeing him like this, Yun Ting became a little uncertain. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
He pulled Xiao Yan aside and asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, where did this deer come from? Why does it look so much like the deer in my garden?"
"Your home? Which home?" Xiao Yan was murderous and heartbreaking.
Yun Ting was furious and gritted his teeth, "Duke Yun's Mansion!"
"Perhaps after you left, the Duke's Mansion released all the birds and beasts back into the forests, and unfortunately I caught this deer again."
"Is it really such a coincidence?"
"What else?" Xiao Yan asked back.
As they were talking, Doctor Hu arrived. Xiao Yan went over to help hold the deer down so that he could remove the antlers.
Yun Ting always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
