The efficiency of working together is very fast. In a short time, the work of setting up camp was completed.
The energy of the children and the old man was broken. Xin Ning began to doze off after the excitement. Aunt Cui was also a little sleepy, so she said to her son and daughter-in-law: "The children and I will go into the tent to rest for a while, and you can continue to enjoy the scenery.
, there is no need to follow up and serve."
Aunt Cui carried Xinning back to the tent to rest. Cui Weizhen asked Ye Zhenzhen: "Do you want to go in and lie down too?"
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head: "Although I'm a little tired, there's no need to go to bed now, otherwise I won't be tired and unable to sleep at night."
Cui Weizhen didn't force himself and asked again: "Do you want to go hunting with me?"
Ye Zhenzhen immediately became interested: "Okay, I haven't hunted for a long time, I'm probably going to give birth to my baby."
Since they were going to hunt in the mountains, this outfit was not suitable. Ye Zhenzhen went back to the tent and changed into light clothes. When she came out, Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming had already changed into riding clothes, riding a pony, carrying small bows and arrows on their waists.
Been waiting for a long time.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the guards leading the horses beside them and nodded with satisfaction, but did not forget to tell her: "When you enter the forest, you should listen more and watch more. Don't act impulsively. Obediently follow the guard's instructions. Don't
Be a hero, or I won't take you hunting together next time."
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming nodded obediently.
Some of the guards were left to garrison the camp, and some of the guards followed Cui Weizhen and others into the woods to hunt.
This is not a deep mountain forest, and there are not many prey. In addition, a large group of people enter the forest to hunt with great fanfare. Many smart and agile prey are hiding quietly, making it difficult to find their traces.
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming's eyes were as wide as searchlights, carefully observing the surroundings in the hope of spotting their prey.
He didn't know whether it was luck or good eyesight, but he actually noticed that the trees not far away moved, and it seemed that a section of furry white was vaguely exposed.
"Rabbit! I found the rabbit!"
Cui Zhiduan shouted excitedly. Before he could take off his bow and arrow, the bushes trembled, and a white shadow flashed past. It turned out to be the white rabbit who heard the call and ran away in fright.
Cui Zhiduan watched helplessly as the rabbit escaped. Before he could feel depressed, he saw two arrows shooting out of the air, one after another, towards the direction where the white rabbit escaped.
The first bow and arrow hit the rabbit's hind leg, and the other one missed the rabbit and stuck in a tree.
The movement of the rabbit that was shot in the hind leg stagnated. Just as it paused, another arrow followed closely. This arrow penetrated from the rabbit's neck. The white rabbit immediately lost it.
Breath, lying motionless on the ground.
"Daddy, you are so awesome!"
Zhou Wu picked up the dead rabbit. Cui Zhiduan didn't feel the slightest discomfort when facing the bloody rabbit. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but glance at Cui Weizhen. It seemed that the two children had hunted with Cui Weizhen before.
Cui Weizhen did not feel complacent, but praised Ye Zhenzhen skillfully: "Your mother is not bad either, her shooting speed is faster than mine, but it's a pity that she's a little less accurate, otherwise this rabbit wouldn't be my turn to hunt.
Already."
Cui Zhiduan immediately flattered her: "Yes, my mother is also very powerful."
Cui Zhiming also started to praise.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little carried away by their flattery. If she hadn't been aware of her own strength, she would have really thought that she was invincible.
She couldn't help but give Cui Weizhen an angry look: "If you don't know better, you might think I shot this rabbit, so don't put a high hat on me."
It seems that because of these words, Cui Weizhen never hit any prey he saw, and always left Ye Zhenzhen the chance to shoot the last arrow.
Of course, one of the prey animals inevitably ran away, but with his help, Ye Zhenzhen hunted a roe deer with her own hands and felt very happy.
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming are also very happy. They are now using children's bows. The range is not far and the strength is not strong. It is difficult to hit the prey. But with the help of Cui Weizhen, their bows and arrows can also touch the edge of the prey.
, this was something unprecedented, so the smiles on their faces never stopped.
Therefore, they brought a lot of dry food from the capital, and Cui Weizhen and others did not kill the prey indiscriminately. After hunting enough prey, they set off and left the forest.
After returning to the camp, she discovered that a group of people had appeared next to the camp. Ye Zhen Zhen felt nervous and quickly walked up to take a look.
When Zhang San saw his masters returning, he immediately went forward to report the situation: "Lang Jun, Madam, these are a group of foot traders passing by. They learned that we are camping again and want to come over and take shelter for the night."
Foot merchants are merchants who only resell specialties in the two places in order to make huge profits. These merchants have a low status and are engaged in high-risk transactions. They cannot afford to hire guards or bodyguards, so they can only work in groups.
If you are on your way, if you are unlucky enough to encounter bandits or wild beasts, it is not a big deal to lose your goods, even death is common.
Therefore, when they are on the road, they often take shelter in some caravans or convoys at the expense of offering some goods, so that they can spend the night or follow them for a while.
The leader of the foot merchant was a middle-aged man. When he learned that his master had returned, he hurriedly went to pay homage. He very respectfully took out their road signs and household registers to show his identity. Even their goods were willing to be inspected by the guards.
Is it safe?
Their movements are very skillful, and it seems they have done it this way in the past.
Cui Weizhen looked at their identity certificates, and the suspicion on his face was slightly reduced, but he still did not relax his vigilance. He had many enemies and did not dare to take them lightly when he was out. He had no intention of including them in the camp, but he did not drive them away either.
, but said: "You can build your own camp three miles away from the downwind outlet."
The owner here knew at a glance that he was either rich or noble. The merchant thought that seeking refuge this time was hopeless, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually willing to let go - the distance of three miles was enough to help each other, and they didn't have to worry about wild beasts attacking at night.
The middle-aged man was very grateful and said quickly: "The common people are in the jade business. I got a piece of high-quality jade a few days ago. I am willing to donate it to the nobleman to thank you for your protection."
Cui Weizhen was not short of jade materials, and he didn't care about their so-called high-quality materials, but if he didn't say that these people would definitely be uneasy, he didn't break the rules and let Zhang San accept them.
The merchants breathed a sigh of relief and went to set up camp after presenting the jade materials. Cui Weizhen took one look and told Zhou Wu to pay attention to this group of people, and then he stopped paying attention.

I didn’t come back until ten o’clock after working overtime, typing while feeling sleepy (actually I did this every day), I was so inspiring...
