Chapter 36(1/2)
Sang Li discovered that even if she deliberately guided her, Xiaomian and Jiang Muyu always seemed to be incompatible with each other like a magnetic field, and they could not get along with each other in a friendly manner.
Needless to say, Xiaomian is cold-hearted, but what he didn't expect was that Jiang Muyu, who was obviously good at speaking and was in harmony with the fishermen, remained silent, as if contacting Xiaomian would seal his excellent language skills.
From time to time, when she was talking or doing something with great enthusiasm, there was always a strange aura between the two of them, which made people feel cold inexplicably.
Sang Li gave up on the idea of making the two friends.
The winter is getting colder day by day. In addition to fishing, many villagers are also hunting in the mountains and making some skins to make it easier to survive the winter.
Sang Li took some sesame cakes that had been cooked too much and gave them to Aunt Zhang, who had taught her many authentic foods on weekdays. On the way back, she met a team up the mountain. More than a dozen burly men holding bows and arrows and beast traps walked together, and Jiang Muyu fell to the back.
Seeing her, the man in white clothes, with a bright and bright style, raised his tone slightly, and naturally dragged his tail tone, waved, "Let's go up the mountain together, brother hunts you for foxes."
Sang Li would occasionally go to the mountains with the women in the village to look for mushrooms and herbs. She had never seen men hunting. She also saw Jiang Muyu carrying a quiver on her body, and raised her chin slightly and looked casual. She was immediately aroused a lot of interest and followed her, "You can still hunt, foxes?"
"Don't believe it? I'll show you one thing today. I won't say that the arrows are empty, at least rabbits, foxes, etc. don't even think of running away."
Seeing him laughing confidently after saying this, Sang Li raised her head without giving in, "What's the point of hunting with tools? Xiaomian can catch the fox with bare hands."
As she was about to walk up the mountain, Sang Li suddenly thought when she mentioned it, should she go back and call Xiaomian together?
"You two really want to go hunting together? There are wolves and tigers on the mountain. I really want to go there, but we have to follow us. We can still protect us. Once we have thought about it, we will hurry up and come to the middle?" Lin Tao, the leader, turned around and looked at the two people who were at the end.
Sang Li walked forward quickly.
Forget it, I didn't have time to delay going back to find Xiaomian, and with his personality, he probably wouldn't be interested.
The mountain roads are rugged, the ground is cold and hard in winter, and the road is even more difficult to walk.
Sang Li was full of energy, but the group of men became more excited.
Who doesn’t know the girl who is with the little god?
That is, you must not neglect it, you must protect people.
Most of the rough men have bad tempers. If another girl comes with them, they will have to beat him up. Naturally, they will not dare to treat Sang Li and the others, and they are much more restrained. They just mutter in their hearts that they might be hunting this time and may be afraid that they will return empty-handed.
But until I crossed two mountains and walked into the dense forest, the white, tender and beautiful girl was breathing slightly, and she followed their steps without slowing down any of the steps.
Even if I never called myself tired or took a break, I didn't bother to take a break. This made the men look at each other and their hearts changed.
Jiang Muyu pulled out an arrow from the quiver and handed the bow on his body to Sang Li, "Do you want to try it?"
Sang Li looked down and took it carefully.
Unlike the thick and simple bows and arrows made of fir wood, Jiang Muyu's hand is made of expensive red sandalwood. It is smooth and light, and the arrows are extremely sharp.
Sang Li gently rubbed the fine carving patterns on the bow body, tried to pull the bow string, and after a moment of familiarity, he replied: "Okay, I'll try."
Jiang Muyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You can use a bow?"
Generally, unless you are from a family of military generals, there are few girls who learn to shoot archery.
He took the initiative to mention that it actually included some small thoughts and wanted to teach her step by step.
Sang Li confessed frankly: "I can use it, but I can only shoot fixed targets, and I'm afraid I can't move it."
Besides, seeing that others are hunting, they still have some difficulty in shooting small animals.
"I can teach you that it will be much easier to learn with a foundation. As long as you can get through the understanding, you can definitely hunt rabbits by yourself before going down the mountain."
Sang Li didn't know Jiang Muyu's little thoughts at all, but it didn't prevent her from refusing. "You said you wanted to show off your skills before, but you couldn't escape all the foxes and rabbits you touched. Now you said you want to teach me, are you trying to be lazy and slick?"
"I won't learn!"
Jiang Muyu laughed silently and touched his nose a little helplessly. It seemed that he wanted to create some opportunity to get closer, but it would not work.
At this time, Lin Tao called out not far away: "Let's go to the forest, Miss Li will still stand in the middle. This time you can walk slowly and lighter."
Deep in the mountains and forests, tall trees are lush and bushes are growing on the ground, making it extremely difficult to walk through.
The sunlight is like wisps of golden fine sand, penetrating layers of branches and leaves, and mottled from the top.
Sang Li opened his eyes wide and looked around. The forest was quiet enough to hear the sound of birds flapping their wings, and the sound of small animals running on the ground with thick fallen leaves.
Not long after, a rabbit appeared. As soon as Lin Tao and others were still holding their breath to touch the arrow, a black black feathered arrow was so fast that it made a sound of breaking through the air, and hit it with one blow!
A pair of surprised eyes came over, looking at Jiang Muyu, who was casually putting his bow and raising his lips slightly, and his heart was filled with admiration.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang's archery technique was so good."
"It's really amazing!"
"This is accurate. Even Zhang Qing from the next village has arrived, so he can't compare with him. I was so embarrassed before."
These men lived in this fishing village with honesty and dedication from generation to generation. Although they knew that Jiang Muyu was generous and had a good status, they did not have the intention of clinging to each other.
What can arouse their fanaticism is still powerful, for example, Qu Qingmian, who can kill the evil demon.
Now that Jiang Muyu showed his skills like this, the men found out that he was not the kind of noble young man who was in aware of the powerlessness, and his favorability suddenly increased.
After two hours of hunting, the group of people had already gained a lot. Jiang Muyu was indeed as he said. He didn't say that the arrows were shot without any false, but at least the rabbits and foxes did not escape.
He even hunted a wolf.
The wolf should be responsible for the investigation. When he saw someone invading the territory, he immediately raised his head and wanted to howl. In order not to attract the wolves, Jiang Muyu shot the arrow and stably hit its throat. Then he quickly repaired another arrow, and the fierce and agile wolf fell to the ground.
They didn't dare to delay any more and quickly turned around to go down the mountain.
But strangely, it was like a ghost hitting a wall. A group of people were traveling through the dense forest as fast as possible, but based on the marks left when they came, they were going back and forth.
A group of big men often go out to sea and mountains, and have experienced many strange things, so they are not panic. Even though someone was swearing, he walked to the back of the big tree to untie the belt and pee.
When Sang Li was a child, she heard her grandmother talk about some supernatural monsters, but she looked up at the thin sunshine and was still a little surprised. Could it be that the mountain spirits and ghosts in this world are more fierce and dare to come out to show off during the day?
She was a little scared, and she didn't dare to walk around with her hands. She touched her elbows and turned her head. Jiang Muyu's face was very calm, and even smiled at her.
Sang Li thought she was an optimistic person, but she couldn't help but feel nervous. Jiang Muyu was still so relaxed in this situation. She had to admire her, "Are you not afraid?"
There was a thin layer of white mist in the forest at some point, and even the sunshine on its head became a little hazy, making people feel uneasy.
Jiang Muyu pinched a pansy silk thread at his fingertips, "It's foggy, let's tie our wrists with it, don't get lost."
Sang Li was thinking that if she had known this, she would not have been so curious about following up the mountain to hunt, or Xiaomian was there, she would definitely hold his sleeve tightly and beside him, and she would feel at ease no matter what she met.
At this moment, she naturally couldn't pull anyone because of fear. Seeing this thread was indeed a way, and she immediately tied it to her wrist.
Jiang Muyu also tied up at the other end. He raised his hand gently, and the slender white wrist moved lightly, and his big and clear eyes raised and looked at him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will never lose you."
Sang Li didn't care much about what he said, but just raised his hand to look at the thin line on his wrist, and the restlessness in his heart fell.
The group of people didn't know how long they had been wandering in the mountains, but the originally calm men were panicked.
It was useless to curse and swear. It was useless to urinate for a few of them. The misty fog became deeper and deeper, and they almost couldn't see the person beside them.
It would be okay to continue like this. One is to strengthen courage, and the other is to use voices to ensure the position between each other. A group of men began to shout their names repeatedly.
Sang Li and Jiang Muyu were protected in the middle, and they also responded from time to time.
Qu Qingmian found that the person who went to deliver sesame cakes had been half a day and had not returned. When he walked outside, he saw Aunt Zhang basking in the sun with a few women in the open space, and Sang Li was not seen.
"Lili, she left after delivering the sesame cake. Not to mention, she really has skillful hands, and the cake is fragrant and crisp."
Qu Qingmian frowned.
A woman in gray-blue coarse cloth clothes next to Aunt Zhang took the conversation, "I saw Miss Sang on my way back from the garden earlier, and she followed her up the mountain."
Qu Qingmian: "Going the mountain?"
"That's not Lin Tao and the others. More than a dozen people went up the mountain to hunt together. I saw Miss Sang follow him, and that Young Master Jiang."
Mr. Jiang...
Qu Qingmian held his fingers tightly, and his dark pupils seemed to have no emotions, but they even showed a heart-pounding cold light.
He turned around and wanted to leave, but the women spoke out again in confusion.
"Really speaking, they should have returned at this time, why haven't they seen it yet?"
"Maybe all the beasts on the mountain have been hidden, and it is difficult to find any trace."
"It's probably already on the way back. It's getting colder and colder. I hope my family can catch the fox so I can make a thick dress."
The young man's slightly paused his feet and quickly moved straight to the direction up the mountain.
Sang Li felt a little miserable. Her shoes were worn out and her legs were so tired that they were a little numb.
Not only her, but even those strong men were so tired that they were breathing.
Seeing that the headless flies were spinning around like headless flies, they used all kinds of tricks, but they couldn't get out, so they simply slowed down and stopped to rest for a while.
Jiang Muyu's eyes remained on the girl beside her, and she noticed that she was walking slightly strangely. Soon, she saw her a pair of agile eyes turning around like guilt, and then quietly lowered her head and lifted her skirt and looked at her feet.
He looked at her eyes and found that her feet were embroidered with peach flowers on her feet, and a big crack was cracked by the side of her shoes with silver thread. The little feet in her white footwear moved awkwardly, looking a little at a loss.
Jiang Muyu couldn't help laughing, his tone was soothing, and he took a bit of a sarcasm, "The little fairy is indeed different. Even this foot is particularly independent, and she wants to break free from the constraints and take a look."
Sang Li didn't expect that such a small move would be seen. Her face suddenly turned red and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to hit someone. She refused to admit it. "Now that I can't get out of the forest, everyone is almost anxious. You are still in the mood to talk nonsense here."
Jiang Muyu didn't tease her anymore. He turned around and found a stone, sat down and took off his shoes, "Give it, wear mine."
Sang Li was stunned.
