The Emperor is Expecting! - Chapter 67
Lunch is a little better than before, with a plate of stir-fried dishes, but it is a far cry from what I had before. Yan Shi really brought some snacks to the little princess in Xingqing, but that can’t replace rice.
Yan Shi glanced at Hua Ling, and the little princess was holding the rice bowl in one hand, struggling to chop the rice with her chopsticks, and seeing him look at him, showing a good smile to him.
Yan Shi’s heart was even more uncomfortable. She always felt that the little princess was laughing and smiling.
Yan Shi finished eating first and said, “Brother Xu, I look at the mountainous area of precious land. I wonder if there is a hunter in this village?”
“There are several households,” Xu Jing replied. “We have many mountains and many animals on the mountain, so there are also several households of prey.”
“We’ll ask Brother Xu to take us to the prey house later,” Yan Shi explained, “I want to buy some prey.” Since Xu Jing has nothing to eat at home, he just pays for it.
Yan Shi clearly felt that the little princess’ eyes lightened when he said that he was buying prey.
Xu Jing is a smart man, naturally knowing Yan Shi’s thoughts, nodded his head and said, “Brother Yan, please wait at home, I’ll take a look.”
“There is nothing left and right, so it’s better to go with Brother Xu, it should be a walk, and we should take a good look when we first come here.” Yan Shi remembered yesterday that Xu Jing warned them not to walk around the village I want to go more.
Xu Jingdun said: “Well then, brother Yan, but you must listen to me.”
Yan Shi and Qu Liuyi glanced at each other. What kind of secret is hidden in Xiaxi Village?
Hua Ling was very happy to hear that there was meat to eat, and happily pulled Yan Shi and followed Xu Jing out.
There are only dozens of households in Xiaxi Village, and there are three hunters. Unfortunately, there is no prey for sale in these three homes. Yan Shi held Hua Ling’s hand tighter and looked at the mountains in the distance: “Since there are no prey to sell in the village, I’d better go up the hill and call back.”
Hua Ling said with some worries: “Brother, what will you do? What if you are in danger?”
Yan Shi whispered in his ear: “Father Emperor goes hunting every year, I have followed him since I was a kid, so it’s okay.”
Hua Ling still couldn’t believe it: “Really?”
Yan Shi nodded solemnly: “Really.”
Then Hua Ling’s heart fell down: “Then I will go too.”
“Ming Ting is just waiting for me in the village.” Yan Shi said, “You can’t do martial arts.
Xu Jing interjected: “Brother Yan, this mountain must not go, the mountain is much more dangerous. Not only the beasts, but also the traps under the prey, how can you be born in case of injury.”
Yan Shi said: “Anyway, I have hunted before, and I have also traveled through mountains that are more difficult than this.” Yan Shi wanted to go to the mountain not only to play game with Hua Ling, but also to see what was on the mountain. He When I entered the village yesterday, I saw people on a mountain peak.
Qu Liuyu also interjected: “Xu Xiu didn’t know. My brother and I were both capable of martial arts, so it’s no problem to play a game on the mountain.”
When Xu Jing couldn’t stop it, he could only compromise: “I will go up the mountain with you.”
There are no bows and arrows in his hand, and there is nothing in Xu Jing’s house that can make simple bows and arrows. Qu Liuxi pulled out a few darts from the medicine chest: “Master, use this for a while.”
Yan Shi took the dart in her hand and cushioned it, and said thank you. Hua Ling looked at Qiqi and stretched out her hand to see, Yan Shi didn’t give him: “carefully hurt his hand.” Hua Ling had to take his hand back.
Xu Jing took them to the nearest mountain, and met many villagers while walking in the village, but they were all men and none of the women saw them.
When he arrived at the mountain pass, there were actually a few men guarding there, watching Xu Jing come and asked him vigilantly: “Xu Jing, what are you doing here?”
“These are my friends. I want to hunt some prey on the mountain.” Xu Jingdao, “Brother Zhao, it’s convenient.”
The man glanced at Yan Shi and looked at Xu Jingdao again: “Xu Jing, don’t you know the rules in this village?
. “
Xu Jing said with a stubborn face: “But my friend has a rare trip, and I don’t have anything to eat at home, and I hope that several big brothers will be accommodating.” After that, Xu Jing swept at them.
What else did the man want to say, then a man who was with him came down and said something to him. The man nodded after hearing it, glanced at Yan Shi and said, “You want to go hunting in the mountains, but they have to keep one.”
“This …” Xu Jing still felt a little embarrassed.
The man said: “Xu Jing, don’t let us make it difficult, we all let you go into the mountain, you should always show some sincerity.”
Qu Liu thought for a while, it was her own business. So instead of waiting for Xu Jing to speak, he stood up and said, “Brother Xu, let me stay, and you take them to the mountain with the feast brother.”
Xu Jing had no choice but to leave Qu Liuyu alone.
The road into the mountain is not easy. Xu Jing opened the road in front, Yan Shi and Hua Ling followed him. Hua Ling whispered to Yan Shi: “Brother, what’s going on? How come you can’t even let you into the mountain? It feels like we are imprisoned.”
Yan Shi held his hand tighter: “Don’t think blindly, there must be something else.” Yan Shi’s heart was also extremely doubtful. This Xiaxi Village revealed weirdness everywhere, but he didn’t want to tell these to Hua Ling. Lest he worry.
There are a lot of animals in the mountains, and when I got there I saw a few pheasants. Yan Shi quickly hit his dart with a dart with a meander. The pheasant immediately lost his breath. Hua Ling happily ran to pick up the pheasant. He picked it up and showed Lao Gao to Yan Shi.
“Brother, you are awesome, hit three.” Hua Ling’s eyes were full of worship.
Yan Shi smiled and took the dart off the pheasant, wiped it with the dry leaves on the ground and put it away.
Xu Jing was also stunned by Yan Shi’s hand. He thought that Yan Shi was just like him, but he was a dead scholar. He didn’t expect to do it again, and he was amazed at the moment: “Brother Yan is really good.”
Hua Ling was very pleased to hear it, even happier than praise him: “That’s natural, my brother is the best.”
Several people went forward again, Yan Shi hit a few hares with darts again, and Hua Ling looked happy at the things in her hand. Although Yan Shi looked at all these things, she ate them in a few meals. She could still hold them in her left and right hands, and then went deeper.
As he was walking, a brownish-yellow shadow flashed in front of him, Xu Jing exclaimed: “It’s a deer!”
Yan Shi also saw it, but darts were not so useful for deer. Yan Shi looked at the deer’s eyes with a eager look. In the past, the deer could only be hit by the emperor. He had never hit a deer before.
“Ming Ting, you and Brother Xu are waiting for me here, I will go back and go back.” Yan Shi said as she stepped on the branch and flew away.
Hua Ling naturally understood what that deer meant to Yan Shi, and did not stop it. However, Xu Jing was a bit worried: “Brother Hua, will there be danger in going to the banquet?”
Hua Ling’s mouth slowly smiled, and his eyes followed Yan Shi’s figure: “He will get what he wants.”
After a little effort, Yan Shi returned, carrying a deer on her body.
Hua Ling greeted him with surprise: “Brother, you are so good!”
Yan Shi placed the dead deer on the ground and tightened Hualing’s collar again. Xu Jing opened his mouth and walked over, his eyes were full of shock: “This … this … Yeah, Brother Ye really deserves it.”
Fang Caiyan also took a brief look at the situation on the mountain by the deer catching position. There was no one. It seems that the person who saw the mountain yesterday should be there only.
Yan Shi thought about it carefully. The mountain peak is the mountain closest to Xiaxi Village. If you stand there, if anyone wants to come to Xiaxi Village, they can see it from afar. But this Xiaxi Village is just a small village, and it is not a military place. Why should they monitor the road leading to Xiaxi Village?
Yan Shi was still thinking that Hua Ling and Xu Jing around the deer had already said that they were opening around, and they were studying how to stew the deer to eat. When Hua Ling said, the saliva would flow down.
Yan Shi chuckled, and asked them to bring the hare and pheasant who had just begun to fight. He resisted the deer, and a few went down.
Yan Shi held the deer on her shoulders, holding the deer with one hand and holding Hua Ling with the other. This deer looks about the same weight as an adult man, but Yan Shi looks like he is carrying a chicken, and his expression is very relaxed.
Xu Jing looked at the stunner and praised Yan Shi constantly. Yan Shi didn’t feel anything, but Hua Ling’s **** were taller.
At the foot of the mountain, I saw Qu Liuyu sitting on a chair and chatting with the people around him, looking like a protagonist.
Xu Jing was surprised again: “Brother Qu is really amazing.”
“Are you back?” Qu Liu glanced at them and patted her butt, got up from the chair, and walked towards Yan Shi.
The men were hearing Xing’s head and saw Xu Jing they were back, slightly dissatisfied, but when they saw the prey in their hands, they all opened their eyes and pointed at those things: “Just After a while, so many things come back? And a deer! “
Yan Shi threw two hares at them: “Thank you very much for taking care of my brother.”
The few men got the benefits and did not do too much enthusiasm. For example, when they entered the mountains, they could be described as heaven and earth, and they were much more enthusiastic.
“Well, brother, I often come to the mountains to hunt.”
Qu Liuxi took the deer on Yan Shi’s body and snorted twice: “This deer is really fat, it’s been long enough to eat.”
Xu Jing’s mouth opened again: “Brother Qu’s strength is so great!” Obviously everyone looks similar, but why they carried the deer so easily one by two. On the other hand, this little thing in my hand is a little tired after walking so long.
After returning to Xu Jing’s house, several people had a clear division of labor, boiling water, and plucking hairs.
Hua Ling followed Yan Shi’s side and watched him break up the deer into pieces, and then said that it was so good that he wiped his sweat.
Fortunately now, this meat can be frozen outside.
By the time Yan Shi had all separated the venison, Xu Jing and Qu Liuyu had already finished the dinner.
The group sat around and had the most sumptuous dinner here. After dinner, it was going to be dark. Xu Jing went out to wash the dishes, and Qu Liuxi whispered to Yan Shi: “I just saw Xu Jing secretly filled a bowl. The meat is hidden. “
Yan Shi touched her chin: “This is very interesting.” He can conclude that there must be someone hidden in that warehouse.
Qu Liuyi listened to the fact that there was no movement of dishwashing chopsticks in the kitchen. He held his forefinger in his lips and compared it with a “shh”. He relaxed his steps and walked out. Xu Jing was no longer outside. He cut the door open a gap, and saw Xu Jing took the bowl of meat and looked around, and then took out a key to unlock the lock of the warehouse and walked in. He came back almost as soon as he entered. Holding an empty bowl.
After seeing him return, Qu Liuxi went into the room and said things again.
Yan Shi nodded, he had to think about it. There were indeed some people in the warehouse, but it seemed that the person was not locked up by Xu Jing. If he was forced to lock up, how could he be so calm and silent? And looking at it like this, the person inside also eats normally. It seems that person is also careful inside, so that people outside do not know his existence?
Of course, these are Yan Shi’s guesses. He doesn’t know what the truth is. He decided to check it again tonight.
It was already a little dark, Xu Jing lit the oil lamp, and a few people sat in the room chatting.
Suddenly Xu Jinghua Feng looked at Yan Shi and said, “Brother Yan, aren’t you ordinary farmers?”
It’s not surprising that Yan Shi asked him this question: “Why did Brother Xu make this statement?”
Xu Jingdao: “Not to mention the appearance of the brother Yan, but to say that the temperament emanating from his hands and feet is comparable to that of ordinary farmers. The brothers and other talents and martial arts are very high, which also shows that the brother Yan is unusual. . “
Yan Shi smiled
Nodded: “Xu Xiong is really smart, then who do you say?”
Xu Jing shook his head: “I can’t guess this, but Brother Yan’s family history must be very good.”
Yan Shi laughed: “If my family is really good, will Brother Xu have a problem with me?”
“Naturally.” Xu Jing said that his face became heavy now. He seemed to have something to say. He opened his mouth but closed his mouth again. Yan Shi didn’t urge him. After so many times, Xu Jing finally said, “What if brother Yan encounters injustice?”
Yan Shi looked at his eyes, his eyes were very real: “Natural is to be managed. There are too many injustices in this matter, although I can’t take care of everything, but as long as I meet, it is to be managed. It’s true. It ’s true that my identity is rich or expensive. ”Yan Shi saw that Xu Jing had something to say, but she did n’t know, and he said that it would be equivalent to giving him a reassurance.
Xu Jing really moved his heart when he heard this, and the hesitation in his heart was gone at this moment. Xu Jing straightened his back straighter and said, “Brother Yan, I have nothing to hide but I want you to help me. In my warehouse …”
“Xu Jing! Xu Jing!” Xu Jing said, interrupted by the sudden sound outside.
Yan Shi frowned. The voice was a bit familiar. He thought about it, and finally knew who the master of the voice was—it was one of four people who visited the family last night.
Three men entered the house in a blink of an eye. One was the one who said that men and men could be married last night, the other was the one who did not believe that men and men could be married, and one man Yan Shi had never seen, not the four last night. One of the men.
“Brother Sun, Brother Zhou, Brother Wang and you are here.” Xu Jing greeted him with a smile.
“Xu Jing, I heard that you have a guest in the house, so come and see.” Sun Si said, that is, the man who can be married to a man, stretched his neck and looked behind Xu Jing while talking.
The two people who came were named Wang Yong and Zhou Da. Zhou Da was the one Yan Yan had never seen.
Yan Shi guarded the little princess behind her, and came over and punched the three of them. “Below is a friend of Xu Jieyuan. I don’t know how many brothers came to the stage to welcome him, so don’t be surprised.”
Wang Yong and Zhou Da looked straight at the sight of each other, while Sun Si was proud of himself. When Yan Shi entered the village, he saw them on the roadside.
“No … no blame … no blame …” Zhou Da’s voice was a little stingy.
“Well, who’s all this?” Qu Liu stepped forward and came over from behind.
Seeing him, Wang Yong and Zhou Da’s eyes were a little stunning again.
Xu Jing brazenly introduced them to each other.
“Okay! Good! Good!” Zhou Darian said three good words, and suddenly saw Hua Ling hiding behind him, and asked, “Xu Jing, who is that?”
“My name is Hua Ling.” When Hua Ling saw that she was being seen, she came over and stood next to Yan Shi and gently dragged his sleeve with one hand.
As soon as Hua Ling came over, the eyes of Wang Yong and Zhou Da were about to pop out, and their eyes just stared at each other, unable to speak.
Xu Jing coughed a little, “Several big brothers, what are you doing now?”
Zhou Da calmed down and said, “I haven’t done anything, I’m just waiting. There is nothing to do in winter.”
“Xu Jing, Li Er’s family has not been found so far, you really haven’t seen her?” Although Sun Si said to Xu Jing, his eyes went straight to the three Yan Shi people, and anyone could see it. He is looking for nothing.
Xu Jingdao: “Don’t all the people in the village come and search? No one was found here.”
Sun Si nodded: “I know, I just want to remind you again, the old Li’s mother-in-law has run away, and now he is upset. Although you are now out of suspicion, you still dangle in front of him, lest he take you get a flat.”
Xu Jing behaved very humbly: “Thank you, Brother Sun, for reminding me.”
Yan Shi heard some information from these words and looked at Sun Si and asked, “This big brother, dare
Ask what happened to this person? Is it possible to return to your mother’s home? “
Sun Si grinned at Yan Shi, and the smile was a little creepy: “You’ll know soon.”
Hua Ling pursed her mouth a little unhappy, and shook her sleeves: “Brother–“
Yan Shi understood and told Xu Jingdao: “Brother Xu, you talk first. It’s getting late now, I’ll take Mingting to rest first.”
Wang’s eyes followed Yan Shi on Tuesday until he could no longer see them.
