Chapter 164 Entering the Mountains
Early the next morning, Yuan Ziyu and his group left the villa and headed towards the mountains behind the villa.
Liu's dowry farm is located on the edge of the capital city, and behind the farm is Yuetan Mountain.
The Yuetan Mountain stretches for over a hundred miles, separating the capital city and Qutai.
Qutai was also a very prosperous place in the Dali Dynasty. Qutai was close to the sea, and the nobles of the Dali Dynasty always loved seafood, which also led to the prosperity of Qutai.
If people want to go to Qutai, there is an official road, and few people go through Yuetan Mountain.
Yuetan Mountain is also a deep mountain with old forests, but there are very few large wild animals on the outskirts. The manors of wealthy families in the capital or Qutai are mostly located near the outskirts of Yuetan Mountain. Firstly, there are many fertile fields here and the area is vast, making it a good place to build a manor. Secondly, the environment here is elegant and close to mountains and water, making it a good place to relax and unwind.
Although there are no large wild animals in the outskirts of Yuetan Mountain, there are quite a few small prey, such as rabbits, pheasants, wild deer, wild goats, and even wild boars.
"Sister You, just watch me show off my skills today!" Huo Wan was wearing a neat riding suit, with a bow and quiver on her back, and a dagger that could cut through iron like mud on her waist. She was fully armed.
"Okay, then I want to see how many wild animals you can kill today!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile: "When we get home tonight, we will have a barbecue!"
"Great, great!" Huo Wan clapped her hands and said, "Then I'll have to hunt a lot of game, preferably a big wild boar so we can roast it tonight. The breakfast that Aunt Biling made this morning was especially delicious. I'm going to treat Aunt Biling to a big wild boar I hunted myself tonight!"
"A big wild boar?" Huo Xifei said with a smile, "If you really see a big wild boar, just don't cry. By the way, are you good at climbing trees?"
"Brother!" Huo Wan refused to give in. "How can you look down on your sister like that? You have to believe that your sister is very powerful, very powerful!"
As he spoke, he clenched his fist towards Huo Xifei.
Huo Xifei couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, very impressive. Whether we can have roasted wild boar meat tonight depends on you!"
"That's it!" Huo Wan raised her chin proudly, and said to Wu Ying and Wu Hen behind her, "Come on, you two follow me to take a look over there!"
"Hey!" Wu Ying and Wu Hen responded quickly and followed Huo Wan into the woods ahead.
This is the outskirts of Yuetan Mountain, and there is no danger. Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu are not worried, so they did not follow them. They only asked the guards who followed them to follow and support Huo Wan at any time.
The two of them watched from afar as Huo Wan's lively figure appeared and disappeared in the woods, and they walked slowly while whispering to each other.
Qingying, Qingzhi and Pingshan looked at each other, and all tried to hold back their laughter. They quietly slowed down their pace and kept some distance from the two men.
"You'er, if you like hunting in the mountains, I'll bring you here often when I'm free, okay?" Huo Xifei saw Yuan Ziyou's cheerful face and said to her with a smile, "Next time, go to my farm. I've planted a lot of fruit trees there. My mother loves to eat the fruit there. When the fruit is ripe this year, I'll send you two carts."
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyu also likes fruits very much.
Then he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xi, do you have any land on your farm?"
"There are not many fields in that farm, mostly orchards. But the other farm does have fields, about 800 acres!" Huo Xifei responded.
Yuan Ziyou was delighted to hear this and said quickly, "Brother Xi, when I'm free later, I'll tell you something!"
"Okay!" Huo Xifei didn't ask any further questions, but just responded with a smile.
Seeing Huo Xifei's unconditional trust in her, Yuan Ziyu smiled, glanced at Huo Xifei secretly, bit her lip lightly, and then gently hooked her little finger with Huo Xifei's little finger.
Before Yuan Ziyu could feel secretly happy, her hand was suddenly grasped by Huo Xifei!
Yuan Ziyu was startled and quickly looked up at Huo Xifei.
Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows and smiled, then said softly, "You've walked into a trap yourself!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Huo Wan ran back happily, holding a rabbit and said with a smile: "Brother, Sister You, look, this is the rabbit I caught!"
"Not bad!" Yuan Ziyu quickly pulled his hand out of Huo Xifei's big hand, walked to Huo Wan's side, and looked at the hare with a smile: "Not bad archery!"
"That's right!" Huo Wan raised her chin proudly!
Huo Xifei moved his fingers a few times. The feeling of holding You'er just now was really good, but it was a pity that it was too short. He couldn't help but glance at Huo Wan.
"Brother, why are you glaring at me!" Huo Wan asked with her eyes wide open.
"Ahem, you saw it wrong!" Huo Xifei coughed and said, "Let me see the rabbit you shot!"
"Great!" Huo Wan became happy again when the rabbit was mentioned. She held the rabbit up to show Huo Xifei, saying, "Brother, I didn't ask anyone for help with this rabbit. I shot it with one arrow. Am I amazing?"
"Not bad!" Huo Xifei nodded and said, "But you can practice your aim. Next time, shoot directly at the rabbit's neck so as not to damage its fur."
"Oh!" Huo Wan blinked: "Then I'll be more accurate next time!"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "That's pretty good. Wan'er is only a little girl, and this is already amazing!"
"Sister You is still the best!" Huo Wan said happily beside Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Uncle Liu is very good at tanning leather, and Madam Biling is very good at sewing. When we get back, I'll ask them to make you a pair of rabbit fur gauntlets with this rabbit skin."
"Okay!" Huo Wan's eyes lit up immediately. "Then I'll go get another one and ask Uncle Liu and Aunt Biling to make a pair for each of us."
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyu nodded.
Huo Wan threw the rabbit in her hand to the guards behind her and said, "Brother, Sister You, wait a minute, I'll go catch another rabbit!"
As he said that, he ran away!
Huo Xifei shook his head and laughed, "My mother is really troubled by my little sister's temper!"
"I think it's great!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "She's lively and straightforward, and not pretentious. She's much better than those self-proclaimed ladies from wealthy families!"
"Hmm!" Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows: "I think what you said is quite right."
"Of course, it doesn't matter who I am!" Yuan Ziyu said proudly.
"She's my wife!" Suddenly, Huo Xifei whispered in Yuan Ziyu's ear!
With a "boom", Yuan Ziyu's ears turned red, and he couldn't help but glare at Huo Xifei: "Lecher!"
"I'm a scoundrel who only likes to tease my wife!" Huo Xifei chuckled. Just as he was about to grab Yuan Ziyu's hand again, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the front: "Wild boar!"
