In the next few days, because of Song Yuehua's arrow, she became familiar with the escort team and they talked and laughed along the way.
After arriving in Luozhou, the manager of the business returned Song Yuehua's silver and said, "The escort leader won't accept this silver, so there is no reason for us to accept it. If you can stay until the end of next month, you can come to Chunmanlou to find me, and then we can go back together."
The shopkeeper had seen her archery skills and wanted to find someone with the same ability to compete with her.
However, the shopkeeper has to wait until the end of next month to go back, and Song Yuehua is afraid that she can't stay that long. If things go well, she can leave this month and catch the Dragon Boat Festival.
Song Yuehua smiled and accepted the shopkeeper's enthusiastic invitation.
Before leaving, the escort leader also left her a letter, "Young Master, if you want to go somewhere, as long as there are people from Wantong Escort Agency in the area, just show this letter to them. As long as it's on the way, they will definitely take you with them."
This is a good thing. Song Yuehua took it and bowed, "Thank you."
Finally arrived in Luozhou.
Song Yuehua looked up at the bustling provincial capital. There seemed to be a scent of flowers and plants in the air. Is this the smell of a big city?
Next is to go to Dahe Village.
After asking from a nearby carriage agency, I learned that it would take two days to get to Dahe Village, and each trip would cost 500 coins.
Since the price couldn't be bargained down, Song Yuehua had no choice but to accept it.
He first went to the post station to entrust a letter to Yan Fengjian, then bought a lot of food from the vendors, and then got on the carriage and set off for Dahe Village.
There are many mountains and lakes in Luozhou, and the scenery along the way is quite nice.
After a bumpy ride all the way to Dahe Village, she asked everyone and found out that there were not just tigers here, but several of them.
"Don't they say there can't be two tigers in one mountain?" Song Yuehua asked.
The villagers also smiled bitterly and said, "If it was just one tiger, we, the whole village, plus the police, could catch it, but it's hard to deal with a group of tigers."
"How many are there exactly?" Song Yuehua asked.
The villager said, "There are at least three."
3 of them, when calculated separately, 200 taels was not a lot. She also understood why, with such a high reward, no one dared to take the prize money until now.
Song Yuehua sighed heavily. If she had known earlier, she should not have been so greedy. If she had brought the Xie family along, the chances of success would have been much greater.
The villagers have seen a total of three, but the actual number may be more. If you encounter a whole family, it would be like running into a tiger's den.
Now that we are here, we must take the prize. Several traps that we had imagined before are all useless, so we can only think of other ways.
During the days when Yan Fengjian came to Dahe Village after receiving the letter, Song Yuehua stayed in the home of a villager in Dahe Village. After discussing with the village chief, she cut down several trees in the village.
When Yan Feng came over, Song Yuehua was setting traps in the mountains with a large bundle of hemp rope on her back.
Five traps have been set in the mountains over the past few days. It doesn't take a lot of effort, but it mainly requires brainpower.
Each trap has to be different.
During the past few days since I entered the mountain, I have only heard the roar of the tiger, but have not seen it with my own eyes. I am not sure about the size and weight of the tiger, and can only estimate it based on the size of the white tiger in Bugui Mountain.
After finishing it, Song Yuehua wiped the sweat from her forehead and thought, this should be suitable.
There are traps everywhere on the mountain. Song Yuehua had told the villagers early on that no one should be allowed to enter the mountain. If someone stepped on a trap, it would be a big problem.
Coming back from the mountain, Song Yuehua saw Damao from afar. She waved her hands and shouted excitedly, "Da Mao!"
"Miss Song!" Damao also responded enthusiastically.
Yan Feng, who was standing by, looked a little unhappy and asked, "When did you two become so familiar with each other?"
Da Mao said speechlessly, "Sir, I asked for the recipes for the food you ate at Linghua Temple, as well as your wig. We have always exchanged letters, have you forgotten?"
"I am familiar with the correspondence between us, but how much correspondence between you two is unknown to me?" Yan Fengjian said in a light tone.
Da Mao asked curiously, "Master San, why are you interested in this?"
Yan Feng saw, "..."
When Song Yuehua came over, she saw Yan Fengjian with a sullen face and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Yan Feng was not polite and said, "I'm hungry."
"You guys go cook for yourselves. It costs three cents to use the uncle's stove once." Song Yuehua walked into the yard carrying a basket on her back.
"You won't do it?" Yan Fengjian chased after him and asked.
Song Yuehua came to the table, poured a bowl of water, sat down and looked at the two of them before saying, "I'm not picky, anything is fine as long as it's edible."
Damao quickly took the things he had prepared from the carriage and said, "Miss Song, are you really not going to make it? Our Third Master was so happy to know you were coming that he bought a lot of food. It would be a shame if it went bad."
Yan Feng let out a heavy sigh when he saw this.
There were indeed a lot of things they brought, including fish and meat. Seeing them, Song Yuehua was salivating. She sighed helplessly and said, "I can cook, but you two have to help."
Damao said, "Miss Song, I am nimble and can do the work of two people."
Wanting to eat but not moving, Song Yuehua was about to speak when Yan Fengjian said, "Okay!"
Damao looked at Yan Fengjian in surprise. His third master had never done such a job before. It would only cause trouble for others.
After a short break, they started to prepare the meal. Damao was washing vegetables outside while Song Yuehua taught Yan Fengjian how to light a fire. "Add fine wood to increase the fire, and reduce the fire to reduce the fire. Try it yourself."
"What's there to try? Just go and do your own thing and leave this to me." Yan Feng said.
Song Yuehua could only trust him. She boiled a pot of water in the pot. While she was cutting vegetables, she asked, "Did you know that there is a tiger infestation here?"
"I know. Didn't I tell you?" Yan Feng was coughing as he spoke because of the smoke.
Song Yuehua paused, looked up and said, "You only said there were tigers, but you didn't say there were so many."
"Are you scared?" Yan Feng saw Hunxiao laughing for less than a second before he was choked and started coughing.
Song Yuehua had no choice but to stop what she was doing and help him pull out the firewood from the stove. She said, "Don't underestimate firework. There is a science to it."
Yan Feng nodded in approval and said, "Indeed."
Song Yuehua squatted beside the stove and said to Yan Fengjian, "The tigers in the mountains can only be caught in one fell swoop. I have set a few traps. I will explore the terrain tomorrow and make good preparations to see if I can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Yan Feng thought that as long as he could get into the mountains, it would be fine.
After finally finishing the meal and serving it on the table, Song Yuehua said with a smile, "Da Mao, try this Dongpo pork. I guess it's not as good as Xie Wenwu's."
Da Mao smiled shyly and said, "It's amazing that Miss Song still remembers my taste."
The more Yan Feng looked at these two people, the more unhappy he became.
It was a rare occasion for the head of this household to have a meat meal. When Song Yuehua went to pay for firewood, the couple didn't feel comfortable accepting more money.
