The little ancestor of the family

Xiao Chai didn't feel embarrassed at all about being exposed.

He scratched his head and smiled, "My sister-in-law saw through it all."

Unexpectedly, Ye Xinran actually gave him a bamboo tube rice: "Here, try it."

"Sister-in-law, are you really giving it to me?"

Xiao Chai looked at Ye Xinran in disbelief, and saw Ye Xinran handed another bamboo tube rice to Lao Li: "This is for you."

"This, how embarrassing is this!"

Old Li was flattered, but the bamboo tube rice was so attractive that he finally accepted it reluctantly.

"It's okay. Meeting you is fate. I happened to cook today, so I'll give you a taste."

Seeing that Ye Xinran was really willing to give it up, the two of them opened the bamboo tube and carefully started eating the bamboo tube rice.

Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian also ate one each.

Soy sauce is added to the soaked rice, making it slightly reddish in color. There are also some pieces of meat and diced bamboo shoots in it, which add a unique aroma to the rice.

Ye Xinran had just eaten half of it when the little Shiba Inu had finished it all and started licking the bamboo tube.

Although Lao Li tried his best to control himself, he still ate every grain of rice carefully.

Although Ye Xinran knew that everyone was suffering, she had never seen anyone eat so devoutly face to face.

She felt a little sorry for them, so she took out two bamboo tubes of rice from her backpack and handed them to the two of them: "I'll give you these two too."

"No, no, no, this is really not possible!"

Now not only Lao Li, but also Xiao Chai were frightened.

My sister-in-law is so kind, beautiful and kind.

Xiao Chai couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xiao, you married a fairy, right?"

Xiao Huaian looked at him without saying anything, but a barely perceptible pride flashed across his face.

Xiao Huaian did not stop Ye Xinran from sending the two people bamboo tube rice, but simply said: "Just take it if it's given to you."

Then he reminded Ye Xinran that it was time to leave.

"Just hold on a little longer today, and we'll be there in no time."

Xiao Huaian said.

Ye Xinran nodded: "I'm fine."

Xiao Chai was reluctant to see the two people leave.

They were not related in any way, and he didn't know why he felt such reluctance to part.

If only I could stay a few more days, slurp!

Seeing how greedy he was, Lao Li couldn't help but pat his head again: "Don't look at him anymore, he's gone. This delicious meal has eaten away your soul!"

"But it's really delicious!" Xiao Chai defended himself.

Old Li also had to nod his head: "It's really good, the cooking skills are better than those of ordinary restaurants! The surname Xiao is a lucky one!"

Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian were still walking and looking for herbs like they did yesterday.

Today's luck was not as good as yesterday. I only dug up a small Polygonum multiflorum, which was discovered by Xiao Huaian.

"I seem to remember that there is also this kind of Polygonum multiflorum next to the trap I dug. When we get there, we will go and take a look."

Xiao Huaian said.

"Yeah!" Ye Xinran nodded in agreement.

By noon, they were getting closer and closer to their destination.

But Xiao Huaian sensed a dangerous aura.

He stopped and listened.

Ye Xinran saw it and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Something seems to be wrong!" Xiao Huaian said softly.

Because of his sense of danger, he wanted to stop and go up to take a look himself.

But thinking that it would be unsafe to leave Ye Xinran here alone, they finally decided to go together.

"Stay closer to me!"

Xiao Huaian no longer let Ye Xinran go away to find medicinal herbs by herself.

This approach also made Ye Xinran feel pressured.

After walking another two miles, Xiao Huaian finally discovered the clue.

There was a fox carcass lying on the side of the road. Its internal organs had been taken out, but the meat had not been eaten.

Normal animals don't hunt this way.

The only creature in the mountains that can hunt like this is the jackal.

Jackals always appear in groups.

They hunt prey smaller than themselves, but will not let go of prey larger than themselves.

Because they are cruel and bad enough, they can launch sneak attacks and siege.

They usually target the vulnerable parts of their prey, such as the abdomen and anus, and once they bite, they will not let go.

Therefore, even tigers and cheetahs can easily suffer at the hands of jackals.

Xiao Huaian looked around for footprints along the fox's body, and soon he came to a conclusion:

There are at least seven or eight jackals in this group, and they should be difficult to deal with.

He did not go any further.

Instead, he took two steps back and walked to Ye Xinran's side, "It's dangerous here. Let's retreat back to the original wooden house and find a chance to come up again."

"Okay!" Ye Xinran did not ask why, but obediently followed Xiao Huaian's footsteps down the mountain.

After taking only two steps, Xiao Huaian stopped.

Ye Xinran also sensed a hint of ominous aura.

She looked to her left and right and saw no less than four or five reddish-brown animals staring at them hungrily.

"what is this?"

Ye Xinran was a little scared.

Xiao Huaian had already drawn the machete from his waist and was ready for defense. "It's a jackal, the most disgusting animal."

Seeing Xiao Huaian's actions, Ye Xinran also took out his baseball bat from the space.

When she was in school, she learned baseball for a while. Although she stopped learning it later, she kept it with her because it was very easy to hit people with.

Unexpectedly, I would use it here today.

In addition to the baseball bat, she also took out two sharp scalpels from the space and handed one to Xiao Huaian: "This is for you, for self-defense."

Xiao Huaian was already accustomed to Ye Xinran's casual grabbing movements. He took the scalpel, holding the machete in one hand and the scalpel in the other, his eyes fixed on the movements of the jackal in front of him.

These things seemed to show that the two were making preparations.

Suddenly, the jackal in front moved.

It pounced towards Xiao Huaian's face, with its sharp teeth aimed at the artery in Xiao Huaian's neck.

Xiao Huaian did not move his body, but swung his right hand and the machete left a deep wound on the jackal's belly.

Blood spurted out immediately, and the grass turned scarlet.

With a cry of "Ah", the jackal lay motionless on the ground.

But the smell of blood stimulated the ferocity of these beasts.

More jackals popped their heads out from behind the bushes.

Xiao Huaian roughly counted them and found that there were more than ten.

"be careful!"

He reminded Ye Xinran behind him.

At this time, Ye Xinran and he were standing back to back, and they acted as each other's eyes behind them.

"Be careful too!"

Ye Xinran stared at the jackal in front of her, trying her best to put aside the fear in her heart.

Suddenly, a sharp cry was heard.

Dozens of jackals pounced on the two men from all directions at the same time.

Xiao Huaian's long sword was flying, and every time he struck out, he could hit the jackal's body hard.

But these things don’t seem to be afraid of death at all. Even if their legs are broken, they will still continue to rush forward!
