The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

There was a sound of rain outside the window, but the house was unusually warm. I didn't know what the wolf cub was doing, but he let out a wolf howl at the top of his lungs, which sounded quite realistic.

Fortunately, the thatched hut is a certain distance away from the wolf pack in the west, otherwise, if they received the secret signal, they would really roar one after another, which would be so frightening that people would not dare to sleep easily.

Chu Xiao had just fallen asleep and was startled by the sudden sound. He listened carefully and heard no other sound, so he snuggled into Yan Zhenshen's arms.

There was a light mist in the mountains in the early morning. The grass and trees had basically withered, and the coolness of the breath made the mountain look even more desolate.

The sound of rain at night is soothing, and the ground is so muddy during the day, but if it gets a couple of days of sunshine, I won’t get my feet covered in mud.

But you still have to be careful when walking, because you never know where there might be an invisible puddle of water under a pile of dead leaves. Some puddles are quite deep, and if you step into them not only your shoes will get wet, but your trouser legs too.

The wild persimmons are ripe, and the fruits, which look like small lanterns among the dead grass and trees, can be seen from a distance.

Chu Xiao walked closer, scaring away many birds that came over to peck at the food, and they all flew away in a large group.

When I looked up, I saw that a lot of the flesh on the tops of the persimmons had been pecked away.

There are quite a lot of these birds in the deep mountains, and they will inevitably eat most of the fruits as soon as they ripen.

But there is still a lot left, enough to keep Chu Xiao busy for several days.

After working for a while and finishing picking leaves from a tree, he stepped into a small puddle covered by leaves when he landed. The muddy water splashed everywhere and his trouser legs were covered with mud spots.

Now my shoes were completely wet. It was almost noon, and this place was not far from the thatched hut, so I decided to go back and change my clothes and wash them.

Even though it was autumn, it wouldn't be too cold at noon when the sun was shining. Chu Xiao was too lazy to boil water and just wanted to wash with cold water.

But as soon as his hand was put into the cold water for a while, he felt a little icy. He took his hand out of the basin and blew on it, thinking that it was better not to embarrass himself.

I lit the pot and added a few more pieces of firewood. I looked at the burning flames in a daze. I couldn't really say what I was thinking about. My brain was just blank for some reason. When I came to my senses again, steam was already coming out of the pot.

Some time had passed since the clothes were washed and hung out to dry. He cleaned the wooden basin and placed it in the corner of the kitchen.

I went to the small hut at the back to take a look at the dried herbs. Next to them were a few bags filled with rice, noodles and a dozen eggs.

These are because Chu Xiao is afraid that he will sleep in and not get up from the kang in the morning, or that he will come back late, and Brother Shen can cook some food to fill his stomach.

The vegetables could not be stored, so Chu Xiao did not dare to take them out. However, he had picked a lot from home before, and he also got two baskets of beans, loofahs and vegetables. They grew a lot throughout the winter, so of course he could not eat them whenever he wanted like in the summer. But there were no vegetables in winter, so it was a rare opportunity to eat them occasionally.

I went for another walk in the woods in the afternoon, following the birds to grab the little remaining food in the mountains.

Life in the mountains is quiet. Every day, Chu Xiao is busy here and there. Looking at the increasing number of things in the space, he does not feel lonely but feels more fulfilled.

But the tranquility in the mountains will always be broken by some uninvited guests.

The chirping of birds in the forest seemed more frantic than usual, and they flew quickly past Chu Xiao's head in an instant.

Although there is no wind today, I can hear rustling sounds in the woods not far away. It is the friction between the soles of shoes and the dead leaves on the ground, and there should be no less than five people involved.

There are almost no outsiders in the deep mountains. The first person Chu Xiao thought of was those in the Dongshan Canyon.

But no matter who it was, there was no need for him to go up and say hello.

Chu Xiao was already very familiar with this area and knew exactly where to hide from people. He stood sideways behind a tree without making much noise.

However, those people seemed to be very alert and stopped immediately. A hoarse voice asked the others in a low voice: "Did you hear any sound just now?"

"There are a lot of small animals on this mountain, don't be suspicious." Another one said impatiently: "Isn't it said that there is a garrison on this mountain? We have been looking around for several days and haven't seen a single ghost."

"What's the point of being anxious? We can just search bit by bit. As long as we find the location, even if Lei Huo pretends to be crazy, the emperor will be more afraid of him... As long as he can lead the troops, the position of Marquis will be our master sooner or later."

"Why are you talking so much?" The hoarse man scolded the two people who had been talking too much in a low voice: "Don't you know that the mouth is the source of trouble? If you don't want to die, just shut up."

The two people who were scolded seemed a little dissatisfied, but they did not refute. They looked at each other reluctantly, and then looked disdainful.

They are all servants in the Marquis's mansion, taking a chicken feather as a token of authority. They really think that if their master gives them an extra warning before they go out, they are the leaders.

Chu Xiao stood behind a tree, listening to the footsteps of the people getting closer and closer, and began to wonder whether he should take care of this matter or not.

Although Lu Zhicheng said that Dongshan Valley was definitely not a place for garrisoning troops, and that Zunyuan Hou could not possibly have the intention to rebel...

Chu Xiao can be very sure about this, that Bai Hao, the time and space dweller, probably hasn't yet developed the idea of ​​rebelling.

But there is indeed such a place in this mountain. Even if it is not lived here permanently, there should be many traces of life left here. I don’t know how much trouble it will cause if it is really found.

"It's annoying." Chu Xiao muttered softly. How come such a big Buddha like Zunyuan Hou came to the small Anning Village?

"Who?" Several people who had already passed by quickly turned around and drew their swords from their waists, "Come out."

Chu Xiao didn't expect that these people had such good hearing, but he also planned to let them leave.

He slowly walked out from behind the tree and glanced at several people without any hesitation. Except for the man in the lead who spoke a little hoarsely and looked relatively strong, the other four looked like ordinary people. Even if they knew some fighting and kicking skills, they should only have known the basics.

Moreover, they were all wearing shorts, and although their looks were not very friendly, they did not look like the kind that wanted to lick blood. Just one look at them made people feel their scalp tingling. They did not look like spies or killers at all.

However, Chu Xiao still couldn't say that he understood the world today, and he couldn't say for sure what kind of people should be like. He might have made a mistake.

"Who are you and why are you here?" The man looked him up and down at his clothes. He was just dressed like an ordinary farmer, but he felt something was wrong when a young man appeared in the deep mountains.

The man frowned and said, "Did you hear what we just said?"

"What did you say?" Chu Xiao looked up and looked at the man without paying attention: "Oh, Master? Or are you hiding soldiers?"

Several men immediately held their knives tighter: "Who are you?"

"Hunters in the mountains." Chu Xiao sighed helplessly: "Didn't you ask around before going up the mountain?"
